Default The Gold Widow Challenge
Your sim never had much. She had always dreamed of a luxurious life without the work or commitment of one. However, the small town in which she lived quickly learned of her motives and stayed away from her. And so, she moved to _____ in hopes of marrying into a rich family.

During her travels she rents a cheap motel room and falls asleep. Suddenly she wakes up to see the ghost of a man staring her in the face. He has watched her for some time and offers her a deal that would be beneficial to both of them. She would marry sims for their money and commit their murders some time after the wedding, whilst searching for the ingredients to make Ambrosia, a legendary dish that would bring him back from the dead. In exchange for this he will make it so that no one will ever suspect her as she murders these sims and allow her to build her wealth. She excitedly agrees, her greed plaguing her common sense, and begins to prepare for the next day.


SETTING UP

Create a male or female young adult sim in CAS. Their looks are up to you. They must have the Materialistic trait, and the Fabulously Wealthy aspiration. Then add a ghost to the household, whether it be through the Gallery, cheats, etc. Move into a starter home and make it Furnished so you have as little money as possible to begin. (For more of a challenge, move them into an empty lot and set their funds to 0 simoleans using cheats, but it isn't required.) And that's it!

GOAL

The goal of the challenge is to have accumulated $250,000, have a house worth at least $150,000, and resurrect the ghost by the time your sim is old and gray. If you do not meet these requirements by the time your sim is an Elder on the Normal life span, you fail the challenge.

RULES

Neither your sim or the ghost may get a job or profession during the challenge, and may not sell collectibles, paintings etc. All money must be earned solely by marrying into it.

You may not sell anything unless you are upgrading it to something the same or better value, and the same type of item.

You are allowed to move into the home of a household you married into, so long as the ghost tags along. For more of a challenge, try building your own!

After marrying a sim, the murder must be committed before 3 sim days. The soul must immediately be released to the Netherworld (this is the ghost "taking" the souls of the victims). The gravestone/urn may be kept or disposed of (though it's always fun to build a graveyard or mausoleum and watch your "collection" grow).

The ghost is not allowed to manually interact with anyone except your sim or Grim Reaper, if autonomy causes them to do otherwise, that is ok.

Your sim is allowed to have a child, but all children born must remain in the household until they reach the Young Adult age. You may not have more than 5 children at once (or you wouldn't be able to marry).

Once the ghost is revived with Ambrosia, he turns out to have been wealthy in life, and reclaims his money (use motherlode once). Once you reach your money and household net worth goals, your sim, overtaken by greed, decides to marry the former ghost. However, the former ghost knows better and murders your sim after 4 sim days, before they can get to them. The former ghost has feelings for your sim, however, and decides to not release their soul, dooming them to wander the lot forever and mourn the house and wealth that was once theirs and never would be again. If your sim had a child in that time, they can take over the legacy.

I think that's it. Let me know if I forgot anything. Happy simming!

Why do they have to have the fabulously wealthy aspiration? Without being able to have a job or sell anything, they can't even get past the first milestone of earning $5,000.

Moving to a new household may void the challenge
- once a ghost (grave) is put into your inventory it can no longer be resurrected
