Sorry if something like this exists already, this is my first challenge and I've been reading back into all the other ones.
The goal here is to create a character which resembles a "crazy cat lady".
- Go into CAS and make an elder. Be creative as you'd like with the appearance.
- Pick/roll for an aspiration. Doesn't really matter.
- Personality-wise, we want her to be somewhat unpleasant. I would suggest using the insimenator to lower all her personality points - a mean, dirty, lazy old lady would be just fine. If you don't have the insimenator, use your discretion.
- Add 6 cats to her family.
Create/choose a house for her. Think cramped and cheap. Minimal furnishings, I would love to see pictures of your ideal "crazy cat lady" house (flowers and doilies and stacks of newspaper!).
The goal is to keep your cats alive, and keep a constant amount of cats in the household (6). To do this you'll need to find a successor by the time Grandma is getting close to death. Befriend a townie and ask them to move in. Let the townie grow old with your cats. Once a cat dies of old age, you must replace it with an adopted cat (either via phone or by making friends with one in the neighbourhood)
So to clarify, at all times you must have no less than 6 cats/kittens, and no more than 2 sims (the "crazy cat lady" and the CLC's adult/elder successor).
The game ends if the cats are left alone to eat your corpse without any Sims left in the house. (ie the last cat lady was unable to find any sims to move in with them), or if animal services show up to take away your cats.
Scoring:
Start with 100 pts
+ 20 for every human grave/urn for a death from old age
+ 10 for every human grave/urn for a death from other reasons
+ 10 for every cat grave/urn for a death of natural causes
+ 20 points for befriending and adopting a neighbourhood cat
- 10 points for every cat who runs away
- 5 points every time a cat asks you to feed them
(I don't particularly care for keeping track of scoring but if you want to, this is a basic idea.)
- Your sim may gain income from crafting, gardening etc but NO jobs (even if there is an adult successor living in your house, they can't get a job)
- Your "crazy cat lady" can become a "crazy cat gentleman" if you wish to choose a male successor. Let's not discriminate.
- Your successors must be platonic only - your cat lady cannot marry another sim, they may only befriend a sim and ask them to move in.
- Your cats can be indoors or outdoors or both. Allowed to use lock door function.
I hope everything is clear! Please comment for clarification and tell me all about your stories if you choose this challenge!
