This is a challenge with which I've had a lot of fun myself, so I want to share it with you.

Description
The goal of this challenge is to make the prince fall in love with you and to become a princess. Will you be a conniving schemer or a kind-hearted do-gooder? The choice is yours and you can win either way. Your decisions will have an impact on your reputation, your traits and your future, however, so choose carefully!
This challenge has a lot of text, and I’ve used spoiler tags so that this post wouldn't be so messy. You can but don’t need to read everything in advance, it’s completely up to you. Reading it will make the challenge easier, but it’ll be more fun if you don’t read it beforehand. The text consists of four main parts: the rules, the daily schedule, the random events and the descriptions of the different destinies that your sim may have.
Setting up
-You live in a castle with five other princess candidates. Create all of the other candidates and your own sim in CAS and move them in. They need to be young adults. Pick their traits randomly. Your own sim’s aspiration must be Successful Lineage.
-You may build the castle yourself or use a premade one. There are a lot of nice castles in the gallery! The furniture may be fancy (it’s even recommended!). Also make sure that there are enough skilling objects for everybody: a couple of easels, different instruments, chess tables, skill books and so on. You need to use a money cheat to be able to afford everything. You may also freely use money during the challenge. It’s recommended not to have other fun-building items than skilling objects and skill books on the lot, because the princess candidates would then probably use them too often.
-Create the royal family in CAS: the king, the queen and the prince, who is their only child. You may choose their looks and traits or randomize them. Pick a lot for them and move them in, it doesn’t matter whether there is a house there or not, you won’t be visiting them during the challenge.
-Set lifespan to long.
-In the beginning, take your sim to visit the royal family and introduce yourself to them (but don’t try to become friends with them etc.). That way you’ll know them and be able to invite them to your parties.
Rules and instructions
-The challenge lasts three weeks. You need to consult the schedule at six a.m. every day to know what happens that day.
-You cannot control the other candidates unless it says so in the daily schedule or the random events. Exception: You may occasionally make them clean or repair objects, but you also have to take part in those activities yourself.
-When you’re required to roll a random event, use random.org or roll dice. If it’s an event you’ve already rolled during the challenge, roll again until you get one that you haven’t had already.
-You may not call the prince, the queen or the king, chat with them or to invite them over unless it says so in the daily schedule or the random events. You are also not allowed to interact with anybody else in the world except your own household.
-Cheats and mods that give you an advantage over a person who doesn't use them are not recommended.
Aspiration points
The number of aspiration points you have at the end of the challenge will determine your sim’s fate and whether you’ve completed the challenge successfully. You will gain and lose aspiration points during the challenge. I recommend using this very helpful mod to quickly add or subtract aspiration points: http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=534747 . If you don’t want to use that mod, you can also keep track of your aspiration points manually on a piece of paper. You will probably also gain aspiration points from completing whims, that’s ok and even recommended. Your sim’s aspiration must be Successful Lineage (so that you can’t complete it during the challenge). It is also ok to spend aspiration points if you want to buy rewards. Just remember that the number of aspiration points at the end of the challenge determines whether you've been successful, so be careful not to spend too many of them!
Schemer / Kind-Hearted points
These are the other points you will get during the challenge. Every time you get one, keep count of how many you’ve already got. You can have both Schemer and Kind-Hearted points at the same time.
Tips
-All skills are useful, but the following are the ones you’ll especially need to be successful in the challenge: Cooking, Gardening, Charisma, Violin / Piano / Guitar, Painting, Logic, Mixology.
-It's a good idea to buy expensive furniture. The most expensive bed is helpful, for example, because you won't need to sleep that long every night.
You can stop reading now if you want and go start the challenge. Just remember to check the daily schedule (below) every day at 6 a.m! You can also keep reading if you wish. I’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have!

RANDOM EVENTS
When the daily schedule asks you to roll a random event, use random.org or roll dice. You need numbers 1 to 12. If it’s an event you’ve already rolled during the challenge, roll again until you get one that you haven’t had already.
1 You’ve got a flu! Spend the day doing nothing but napping, eating and going to the bathroom. If you wish, you may infect one other candidate intentionally (choose the one you consider your worst rival). If you decide to do so, you get +1 Schemer point and the infected candidate has to spend the day doing nothing, just like you (you may cancel all her actions except napping / sleeping, eating and going to the bathroom).
2 You’ve accidentally broken an expensive vase that belongs to the queen. You decide: You admit what you’ve done and get -300 aspiration points, OR you frame another candidate. If you decide to frame someone, roll a six-sided die (or use random.org): 1-2 You get caught, -500 aspiration points and you have to change one of your traits to either Mean or Clumsy (you decide), 3-6 You’re successful, you get +1 Schemer point and +300 aspiration points.
3 The queen doesn’t like schemers. If you’ve got Schemer points, you have to convince the queen that it’s not a bad thing to be cunning. You can do this by raising your Charisma skill by two levels today. If you’re unsuccessful, the queen isn’t convinced and you’ll get -500 aspiration points.
4 You find one of the other girls crying alone. She is feeling insecure and says that she is afraid she’s never going to be able to make the prince fall in love with her. Will you try to lift her spirits? If you will, you’ll get +1 Kind-Hearted point but also -100 aspiration points since you’re helping your rival. If you decide to ignore her, nothing happens.
5 Today you wake up feeling irritated and angry. You can pick a fight with another girl if you want to or restrain yourself. Use the Fight! interaction (you can argue / shout / insult her until the interaction becomes available). If you win, you get 500 aspiration points because now everyone knows who the boss is, but if you lose, you get -200 aspiration points. Whether you win or lose, you get +1 Schemer point if you fight. If you decide to restrain yourself, nothing happens.
6 Oh no! The queen’s ring has gone missing! You suspect that one of the serving girls, a particularly poor one, has stolen and sold it to get medical help for her ailing mother. Will you tell the queen? If not, you get +1 Kind-Hearted point. If you decide to tell, the queen appreciates it and you get 200 aspiration points.
7 Do you have at least one Kind-Hearted point and no Schemer points? If not, nothing happens. If you do, you manage to make an impression on the Prince’s aunt, who is a particularly kind-hearted person herself. She tells the prince how much she likes you, and you get 300 aspiration points for every Kind-hearted point that you have.
8 A handsome duke seems to be smitten with you. What do you do? If you decide to enjoy the attention, you can change any trait you have to either Romantic or Self-Assured, but it’s possible that the prince hears of your flirting. Roll a six-sided die (or use random.org): 1 You get caught, give yourself -500 aspiration points. 2-6 Nobody notices your little affair.
9 One of the other girls tells you that she’s made a terrible mistake. The cake she baked for the royal couple as a present contains salt instead of sugar. Will you take the hit for her and say it was you who baked the cake? If you do, you get +1 Kind-Hearted point and -300 aspiration points. If you do nothing, nothing happens. You can also choose to tell everybody what a hopeless cook that girl is, in which case you get 200 aspiration points and +1 Schemer point.
10 When you wake up today, you feel like a new person! If you have at least four skill points in one or several of the following skills: Painting, Mixology, Violin / Piano / Guitar, Cooking, Gardening, Logic, Handiness or Charisma, you may change one of your traits if you want to. You also get 100 aspiration points for every level beyond the fourth in all of the skills mentioned above.
11 The king throws a party and wants one of you to entertain the guests by playing an instrument. If one of the other candidates is better at any instrument than you are, they are automatically chosen and you get -300 aspiration points. If you are the best player and your Piano / Violin / Guitar level is at least five, you are chosen to entertain the guests and get 500 aspiration points (if you don’t have the necessary skill level yet, you have until 6 p.m. to improve your skill).
12 The prince seems to be a little too interested in one of the other candidates. What will you do?
- You can try to make the candidate in question look like a fool. Roll a six-sided die or use random.org: 1 You’re not successful unless you have at least five Schemer points, 2 You’re not successful unless you have at least four Schemer points, 3 You’re not successful unless you have at least three Schemer points, 4 You’re not successful unless you have at least two Schemer points, 5 You’re successful, 6 You’re successful. If you’re successful, you get 400 aspiration points and +1 Schemer point. If you’re unsuccessful, the only person that looks like a fool is yourself and you get -500 aspiration points.
- Do nothing. You get -300 aspiration points.

3 or more Kind-Hearted points and less than 3 Schemer points: Your subjects simply adore you, you are fair and merciful in all your dealings. You let your husband do most of the ruling, though, you just can’t stand all the power games and scheming.

3 or more Kind-Hearted points and less than 3 Schemer points: Your subjects like you, you are fair and merciful in all your dealings, but people sometimes take advantage of that fact and your husband ends up losing money or prestige. He doesn’t care, however, because he simply adores you. You let your husband do most of the ruling, because you just can’t stand all the power games and scheming.
4500-4999 aspiration points
The prince has chosen another candidate to be his future wife, but you’ve attracted the attention of a baron and end up marrying him.
What kind of a person will you be?
0-2 Schemer points and 0-2 Kind-Hearted points OR 3 or more Kind-Hearted points and 3 or more Schemer points: You eventually get over your disappointment. This is not so bad, after all. You turn out to be a faithful wife, and your husband often consults you first when there is an important decision to be made.
3 or more Schemer points and less than 3 Kind-Hearted points: You are disappointed and bitter, you think you deserve to be the princess and not the wife of some baron! You never really get over it, but you use your cunning to gain wealth and a better position in the court for your husband. Your husband takes all the credit, but at least you know the truth, and when your husband dies a bit suspiciously, you end up with a handsome inheritance and a new life as a ruthless but wealthy widow.
3 or more Kind-Hearted points and less than 3 Schemer points: So you were not chosen to be the future queen, who cares? You fall in love with the baron, marry him and have many children. You withdraw from the court and lead a simple life with your loving family, always finding time to help people in need.
3500-4499 aspiration points
The prince has chosen another candidate to be his future wife and none of the other noblemen seem to be interested in you. You decide to stop waiting for someone to marry you and decide to have a career instead. Check your level in the following skills: Mixology, Painting, Violin / Piano / Guitar and Logic. Is Mixology your strongest skill? Then you’ll become a butler in the royal household. Or is it Painting? Then you’ll paint people’s portraits for a living. If it’s playing an instrument, then you’ll become a traveling troubadour. If Logic, you decide to pursue a career in science.
What kind of a person will you be?
0-2 Schemer points and 0-2 Kind-Hearted points OR 3 or more Kind-Hearted points and 3 or more Schemer points: You’re good at what you do and accept your fate. People admire your skill wherever you go. You have no luxuries in your life but find some peace in hard work.
3 or more Schemer points and less than 3 Kind-Hearted points: You are disappointed and bitter, you think you deserve to be a princess! You use your skill and wits and gullible men to make money, trying to find happiness in buying expensive things and traveling.
3 or more Kind-Hearted points and less than 3 Schemer points: You are good enough at your job to make a living, but after a couple of years you find a nice young man and decide to settle down with him and concentrate on taking care of the many children that you two will have together.
3000-3499 aspiration points
The prince has chosen another candidate to be his future wife and none of the other noblemen seem to be interested in you. A hard-working merchant falls in love with you and proposes to you. You say ‘yes’.
What kind of a person will you be?
0-2 Schemer points and 0-2 Kind-Hearted points OR 3 or more Kind-Hearted points and 3 or more Schemer points: Well, this could have gone better. Your husband seems to be a decent man, though, so I guess this could also have gone worse. You have no luxuries in your life but find some peace in hard work.
3 or more Schemer points and less than 3 Kind-Hearted points: You are disappointed and bitter, you think you deserve to be a princess and not the wife of some merchant! Nevertheless, you manage to use your cunning to gain wealth. Your husband never really learns how to love such a cruel and sly person, however, and finally divorces you and marries a more kind-hearted woman.
3 or more Kind-Hearted points and less than 3 Schemer points: You fall in love with a merchant, marry him and have many children. You lead a simple life with your family. Too bad that you were so smitten with the merchant before the wedding that you didn’t see him for who he really is – a chauvinistic womanizer who likes nothing more than to make you feel insufficient for him.
2500-2999 aspiration points
The prince has chosen another candidate to be his future wife and none of the other noblemen seem to be interested in you. You decide to stop waiting for someone to marry you and decide to have a career instead. Check your level in the following skills: Handiness, Charisma, Gardening, and Fitness. Is Cooking your strongest skill? You’ll spend your life working at a tavern as a maid and a waitress. Or is it Charisma? Then you’ll become a peddler. If it’s Gardening, then you’ll work for a farmer. And if it’s Fitness, you’ll get a job as a manual laborer.
What kind of a person will you be?
0-2 Schemer points and 0-2 Kind-Hearted points OR 3 or more Kind-Hearted points and 3 or more Schemer points: You’re good enough at what you do and accept your fate. You have no luxuries in your life but find some peace in hard work.
3 or more Schemer points and less than 3 Kind-Hearted points: You are disappointed and bitter, you think you deserve to be a princess! You use your skill and wits and gullible men to make money, trying to find happiness in buying expensive things and traveling. That doesn’t work for very long and one day you find yourself bankrupt.
3 or more Kind-Hearted points and less than 3 Schemer points: You are not very good at your job, because everyone is always taking advantage of your gullibility and kindheartedness. After a couple of years you give up and marry one of the older men living in the village.
0-2499 aspiration points
The prince has chosen another candidate to be his future wife and none of the other noblemen seem to be interested in you. You don’t seem to be able to get a good job either. The only husband you manage to find is a thug.
What kind of a person will you be?
0-2 Schemer points and 0-2 Kind-Hearted points OR 3 or more Kind-Hearted points and 3 or more Schemer points: Yeah, what can I say... Your life will be filled with hard work and misery, but at least your husband cares about you. You sell vegetables for a living and spend your life hoping that your husband won’t get caught and be hanged.
3 or more Schemer points and less than 3 Kind-Hearted points: You are furious, how could this happen? You become a thug yourself and manage to do quite well before your equally deceitful husband betrays you. You get caught and spend the rest of your life in jail, missed by no one.
3 or more Kind-Hearted points and less than 3 Schemer points: You fall in love with a thug and marry him. You can’t stand the idea that your husband is a criminal and hurts innocent people, however, and so you force him to stop committing crimes. That is all quite commendable, but that now you two have no source of income. You resort to begging, only to find out that other people are not as kind-hearted as you are.

Here are some of the screenshots I took on my first playthrough. My princess candidate Katharine is evil and willing to do whatever it takes to make the prince fall in love with her. The candidates live in a beautiful castle I found in the gallery, it's called Simderella's castle (designed by Karrterr12).
The princess candidates held a chess tournament on the seventh day. The beautiful but vicious Katharine is the second girl from the right. Adalyn, the girl on the left, seems to be just as determined to win: you can see her cheating when her partner is looking away...

Needless to say, the girls didn't always get along so well and weren't afraid to show it.

Finally! The princess candidates got to meet the prince during the second week. Somebody might think that Katharine's flirting looks a bit too desperate here, but lo and behold, it seems to be working!

... and here she is, the proud winner of the prince's heart! The other candidates don't seem to be too pleased about it, especially since Katharine is not the kind of girl who plays fairly.

If you'd play this challenge, what kind of a princess candidate would you be? Would you be completely ruthless like Katharine, or would you prefer not to resort to unfair methods and scheming?

@LadyRiane, I love your princesses, and they all look like they really want to win! Please keep us updated.
@kourtneyann10, I'm afraid I'm not sure what you mean, because you don't need to download anything to play the challenge.

Lovely challenge! I might start this when I have my Disney Legacy founder + heirs
Then again, that might take a really long time sigh. Anyway, I wanted to ask, how do we obtain schemer/kind-hearted points? Thank you!

@hirondelle09, thank you, I'm glad you like it! You get Schemer / Kind-hearted points based on the decisions you make during the challenge. You don't have to worry about this in advance, the challenge will tell you in a straightforward way when you get a Schemer point or a Kind-hearted point, you'll just have to keep count of them when you do.

THE PRINCESS CHALLENGE This is a challenge with which I've had a lot of fun myself, so I want to share it with you. ![]() Description The goal of this challenge is to make the prince fall in love with you and to become a princess. Will you be a conniving schemer or a kind-hearted do-gooder? The choice is yours and you can win either way. Your decisions will have an impact on your reputation, your traits and your future, however, so choose carefully! This challenge has a lot of text, and I’ve used spoiler tags so that this post wouldn't be so messy. You can but don’t need to read everything in advance, it’s completely up to you. Reading it will make the challenge easier, but it’ll be more fun if you don’t read it beforehand. The text consists of four main parts: the rules, the daily schedule, the random events and the descriptions of the different destinies that your sim may have. Setting up -You live in a castle with five other princess candidates. Create all of the other candidates and your own sim in CAS and move them in. They need to be young adults. Pick their traits randomly. Your own sim’s aspiration must be Successful Lineage. -You may build the castle yourself or use a premade one. There are a lot of nice castles in the gallery! The furniture may be fancy (it’s even recommended!). Also make sure that there are enough skilling objects for everybody: a couple of easels, different instruments, chess tables, skill books and so on. You need to use a money cheat to be able to afford everything. You may also freely use money during the challenge. It’s recommended not to have other fun-building items than skilling objects and skill books on the lot, because the princess candidates would then probably use them too often. -Create the royal family in CAS: the king, the queen and the prince, who is their only child. You may choose their looks and traits or randomize them. Pick a lot for them and move them in, it doesn’t matter whether there is a house there or not, you won’t be visiting them during the challenge. -Set lifespan to long. -In the beginning, take your sim to visit the royal family and introduce yourself to them (but don’t try to become friends with them etc.). That way you’ll know them and be able to invite them to your parties. Rules and instructions -The challenge lasts three weeks. You need to consult the schedule at six a.m. every day to know what happens that day. -You cannot control the other candidates unless it says so in the daily schedule or the random events. Exception: You may occasionally make them clean or repair objects, but you also have to take part in those activities yourself. -When you’re required to roll a random event, use random.org or roll dice. If it’s an event you’ve already rolled during the challenge, roll again until you get one that you haven’t had already. -You may not call the prince, the queen or the king, chat with them or to invite them over unless it says so in the daily schedule or the random events. You are also not allowed to interact with anybody else in the world except your own household. -Cheats and mods that give you an advantage over a person who doesn't use them are not recommended. Aspiration points The number of aspiration points you have at the end of the challenge will determine your sim’s fate and whether you’ve completed the challenge successfully. You will gain and lose aspiration points during the challenge. I recommend using this very helpful mod to quickly add or subtract aspiration points: http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=534747 . If you don’t want to use that mod, you can also keep track of your aspiration points manually on a piece of paper. You will probably also gain aspiration points from completing whims, that’s ok and even recommended. Your sim’s aspiration must be Successful Lineage (so that you can’t complete it during the challenge). It is also ok to spend aspiration points if you want to buy rewards. Just remember that the number of aspiration points at the end of the challenge determines whether you've been successful, so be careful not to spend too many of them! Schemer / Kind-Hearted points These are the other points you will get during the challenge. Every time you get one, keep count of how many you’ve already got. You can have both Schemer and Kind-Hearted points at the same time. Tips -All skills are useful, but the following are the ones you’ll especially need to be successful in the challenge: Cooking, Gardening, Charisma, Violin / Piano / Guitar, Painting, Logic, Mixology. -It's a good idea to buy expensive furniture. The most expensive bed is helpful, for example, because you won't need to sleep that long every night. You can stop reading now if you want and go start the challenge. Just remember to check the daily schedule (below) every day at 6 a.m! You can also keep reading if you wish. I’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have! THE DAILY SCHEDULE Week 1: Day 1 (Sunday)

When the prince arrives, the candidates take turns trying to flirt with him. Instructions: First the candidate in question must introduce herself to the prince (if she hasn't already). Then use either the flirt or the pick-up line interaction and make a note if the interaction was successful. You may not use any other interactions or try several times.

If it’s an event you’ve already rolled during the challenge, roll again until you get one that you haven’t had already. 1 You’ve got a flu! Spend the day doing nothing but napping, eating and going to the bathroom. If you wish, you may infect one other candidate intentionally (choose the one you consider your worst rival). If you decide to do so, you get +1 Schemer point and the infected candidate has to spend the day doing nothing, just like you (you may cancel all her actions except napping / sleeping, eating and going to the bathroom). 2 You’ve accidentally broken an expensive vase that belongs to the queen. You decide: You admit what you’ve done and get -300 aspiration points, OR you frame another candidate. If you decide to frame someone, roll a six-sided die (or use random.org): 1-2 You get caught, -500 aspiration points and you have to change one of your traits to either Mean or Clumsy (you decide), 3-6 You’re successful, you get +1 Schemer point and +300 aspiration points. 3 The queen doesn’t like schemers. If you’ve got Schemer points, you have to convince the queen that it’s not a bad thing to be cunning. You can do this by raising your Charisma skill by two levels today. If you’re unsuccessful, the queen isn’t convinced and you’ll get -500 aspiration points. 4 You find one of the other girls crying alone. She is feeling insecure and says that she is afraid she’s never going to be able to make the prince fall in love with her. Will you try to lift her spirits? If you will, you’ll get +1 Kind-Hearted point but also -100 aspiration points since you’re helping your rival. If you decide to ignore her, nothing happens. 5 Today you wake up feeling irritated and angry. You can pick a fight with another girl if you want to or restrain yourself. Use the Fight! interaction (you can argue / shout / insult her until the interaction becomes available). If you win, you get 500 aspiration points because now everyone knows who the boss is, but if you lose, you get -200 aspiration points. Whether you win or lose, you get +1 Schemer point if you fight. If you decide to restrain yourself, nothing happens. 6 Oh no! The queen’s ring has gone missing! You suspect that one of the serving girls, a particularly poor one, has stolen and sold it to get medical help for her ailing mother. Will you tell the queen? If not, you get +1 Kind-Hearted point. If you decide to tell, the queen appreciates it and you get 200 aspiration points. 7 Do you have at least one Kind-Hearted point and no Schemer points? If not, nothing happens. If you do, you manage to make an impression on the Prince’s aunt, who is a particularly kind-hearted person herself. She tells the prince how much she likes you, and you get 300 aspiration points for every Kind-hearted point that you have. 8 A handsome duke seems to be smitten with you. What do you do? If you decide to enjoy the attention, you can change any trait you have to either Romantic or Self-Assured, but it’s possible that the prince hears of your flirting. Roll a six-sided die (or use random.org): 1 You get caught, give yourself -500 aspiration points. 2-6 Nobody notices your little affair. 9 One of the other girls tells you that she’s made a terrible mistake. The cake she baked for the royal couple as a present contains salt instead of sugar. Will you take the hit for her and say it was you who baked the cake? If you do, you get +1 Kind-Hearted point and -300 aspiration points. If you do nothing, nothing happens. You can also choose to tell everybody what a hopeless cook that girl is, in which case you get 200 aspiration points and +1 Schemer point. 10 When you wake up today, you feel like a new person! If you have at least four skill points in one or several of the following skills: Painting, Mixology, Violin / Piano / Guitar, Cooking, Gardening, Logic, Handiness or Charisma, you may change one of your traits if you want to. You also get 100 aspiration points for every level beyond the fourth in all of the skills mentioned above. 11 The king throws a party and wants one of you to entertain the guests by playing an instrument. If one of the other candidates is better at any instrument than you are, they are automatically chosen and you get -300 aspiration points. If you are the best player and your Piano / Violin / Guitar level is at least five, you are chosen to entertain the guests and get 500 aspiration points (if you don’t have the necessary skill level yet, you have until 6 p.m. to improve your skill). 12 The prince seems to be a little too interested in one of the other candidates. What will you do? - You can try to make the candidate in question look like a fool. Roll a six-sided die or use random.org: 1 You’re not successful unless you have at least five Schemer points, 2 You’re not successful unless you have at least four Schemer points, 3 You’re not successful unless you have at least three Schemer points, 4 You’re not successful unless you have at least two Schemer points, 5 You’re successful, 6 You’re successful. If you’re successful, you get 400 aspiration points and +1 Schemer point. If you’re unsuccessful, the only person that looks like a fool is yourself and you get -500 aspiration points. - Do nothing. You get -300 aspiration points. - Tell the other candidate that she deserves the prince’s attention. You get -400 aspiration points and +1 Kind-Hearted point. THE RESULTS AND THE DESTINIES When the challenge is over, check how many aspiration points you have as well as how many Schemer and Kind-Hearted points you have. Then find your corresponding destiny below. > 6000 aspiration points Congratulations! The prince has chosen you as his future wife! He feels that he’s the happiest man on Earth: he’s fallen in love with you and simply cannot wait to be married to you. You two will lead a very happy life enjoying each other’s company and family life. What kind of a person will you be? 0-2 Schemer points and 0-2 Kind-Hearted points OR 3 or more Kind-Hearted points and 3 or more Schemer points: The prince decides that he wants you to rule the country with him. You will be a balanced ruler, both cunning and merciful. Your subjects will respect and obey you. 3 or more Schemer points and less than 3 Kind-Hearted points: You never let your feelings get in the way of getting something important done, but you are able to hide it from everyone. You are a brilliant ruler and your subjects respect you. It’s you who rules in the kingdom, not your husband, who is much more soft-hearted than you. 3 or more Kind-Hearted points and less than 3 Schemer points: Your subjects simply adore you, you are fair and merciful in all your dealings. You let your husband do most of the ruling, though, you just can’t stand all the power games and scheming. 5500-5999 aspiration points Congratulations! The prince has chosen you as his future wife! He and his parents have decided that you are the most suitable candidate. The prince respects you and will eventually learn to love you. What kind of a person will you be? 0-2 Schemer points and 0-2 Kind-Hearted points OR 3 or more Kind-Hearted points and 3 or more Schemer points: The prince will let you make some important decisions regarding your country. You will be a balanced ruler, both cunning and merciful. Your subjects will respect and obey you. 3 or more Schemer points and less than 3 Kind-Hearted points: You never let your feelings get in the way of getting something done, and that is obvious to everyone who meets you. You are a brilliant and cruel ruler, and your subjects fear and respect you. It’s you who rules in the kingdom, not your husband, who is much more soft-hearted than you. Your husband is a little bitter about that. 3 or more Kind-Hearted points and less than 3 Schemer points: Your subjects like you, you are fair and merciful in all your dealings, but some say you may even be a bit too soft. You let your husband do most of the ruling, because you just can’t stand all the power games and scheming. 5000-5499 aspiration points The prince has chosen another candidate to be his future wife, but you’ve attracted the attention of a wealthy and handsome duke and end up marrying him. What kind of a person will you be? 0-2 Schemer points and 0-2 Kind-Hearted points OR 3 or more Kind-Hearted points and 3 or more Schemer points: You get over your disappointment very quickly. This is not so bad, after all. The duke will let you make some important decisions regarding the duchy. You will be a balanced ruler, both cunning and merciful. Your subjects will respect and obey you. 3 or more Schemer points and less than 3 Kind-Hearted points: You never let your feelings get in the way of getting something done, and that is obvious to everyone who meets you. You are a brilliant and cruel ruler, and your subjects fear and respect you. It’s you who rules in the duchy, not your husband, who is much more soft-hearted than you. Your husband is a little bitter about that. 3 or more Kind-Hearted points and less than 3 Schemer points: Your subjects like you, you are fair and merciful in all your dealings, but people sometimes take advantage of that fact and your husband ends up losing money or prestige. He doesn’t care, however, because he simply adores you. You let your husband do most of the ruling, because you just can’t stand all the power games and scheming. 4500-4999 aspiration points The prince has chosen another candidate to be his future wife, but you’ve attracted the attention of a baron and end up marrying him. What kind of a person will you be? 0-2 Schemer points and 0-2 Kind-Hearted points OR 3 or more Kind-Hearted points and 3 or more Schemer points: You eventually get over your disappointment. This is not so bad, after all. You turn out to be a faithful wife, and your husband often consults you first when there is an important decision to be made. 3 or more Schemer points and less than 3 Kind-Hearted points: You are disappointed and bitter, you think you deserve to be the princess and not the wife of some baron! You never really get over it, but you use your cunning to gain wealth and a better position in the court for your husband. Your husband takes all the credit, but at least you know the truth, and when your husband dies a bit suspiciously, you end up with a handsome inheritance and a new life as a ruthless but wealthy widow. 3 or more Kind-Hearted points and less than 3 Schemer points: So you were not chosen to be the future queen, who cares? You fall in love with the baron, marry him and have many children. You withdraw from the court and lead a simple life with your loving family, always finding time to help people in need. 3500-4499 aspiration points The prince has chosen another candidate to be his future wife and none of the other noblemen seem to be interested in you. You decide to stop waiting for someone to marry you and decide to have a career instead. Check your level in the following skills: Mixology, Painting, Violin / Piano / Guitar and Logic. Is Mixology your strongest skill? Then you’ll become a butler in the royal household. Or is it Painting? Then you’ll paint people’s portraits for a living. If it’s playing an instrument, then you’ll become a traveling troubadour. If Logic, you decide to pursue a career in science. What kind of a person will you be? 0-2 Schemer points and 0-2 Kind-Hearted points OR 3 or more Kind-Hearted points and 3 or more Schemer points: You’re good at what you do and accept your fate. People admire your skill wherever you go. You have no luxuries in your life but find some peace in hard work. 3 or more Schemer points and less than 3 Kind-Hearted points: You are disappointed and bitter, you think you deserve to be a princess! You use your skill and wits and gullible men to make money, trying to find happiness in buying expensive things and traveling. 3 or more Kind-Hearted points and less than 3 Schemer points: You are good enough at your job to make a living, but after a couple of years you find a nice young man and decide to settle down with him and concentrate on taking care of the many children that you two will have together. 3000-3499 aspiration points The prince has chosen another candidate to be his future wife and none of the other noblemen seem to be interested in you. A hard-working merchant falls in love with you and proposes to you. You say ‘yes’. What kind of a person will you be? 0-2 Schemer points and 0-2 Kind-Hearted points OR 3 or more Kind-Hearted points and 3 or more Schemer points: Well, this could have gone better. Your husband seems to be a decent man, though, so I guess this could also have gone worse. You have no luxuries in your life but find some peace in hard work. 3 or more Schemer points and less than 3 Kind-Hearted points: You are disappointed and bitter, you think you deserve to be a princess and not the wife of some merchant! Nevertheless, you manage to use your cunning to gain wealth. Your husband never really learns how to love such a cruel and sly person, however, and finally divorces you and marries a more kind-hearted woman. 3 or more Kind-Hearted points and less than 3 Schemer points: You fall in love with a merchant, marry him and have many children. You lead a simple life with your family. Too bad that you were so smitten with the merchant before the wedding that you didn’t see him for who he really is – a chauvinistic womanizer who likes nothing more than to make you feel insufficient for him. 2500-2999 aspiration points The prince has chosen another candidate to be his future wife and none of the other noblemen seem to be interested in you. You decide to stop waiting for someone to marry you and decide to have a career instead. Check your level in the following skills: Handiness, Charisma, Gardening, and Fitness. Is Cooking your strongest skill? You’ll spend your life working at a tavern as a maid and a waitress. Or is it Charisma? Then you’ll become a peddler. If it’s Gardening, then you’ll work for a farmer. And if it’s Fitness, you’ll get a job as a manual laborer. What kind of a person will you be? 0-2 Schemer points and 0-2 Kind-Hearted points OR 3 or more Kind-Hearted points and 3 or more Schemer points: You’re good enough at what you do and accept your fate. You have no luxuries in your life but find some peace in hard work. 3 or more Schemer points and less than 3 Kind-Hearted points: You are disappointed and bitter, you think you deserve to be a princess! You use your skill and wits and gullible men to make money, trying to find happiness in buying expensive things and traveling. That doesn’t work for very long and one day you find yourself bankrupt. 3 or more Kind-Hearted points and less than 3 Schemer points: You are not very good at your job, because everyone is always taking advantage of your gullibility and kindheartedness. After a couple of years you give up and marry one of the older men living in the village. 0-2499 aspiration points The prince has chosen another candidate to be his future wife and none of the other noblemen seem to be interested in you. You don’t seem to be able to get a good job either. The only husband you manage to find is a thug. What kind of a person will you be? 0-2 Schemer points and 0-2 Kind-Hearted points OR 3 or more Kind-Hearted points and 3 or more Schemer points: Yeah, what can I say... Your life will be filled with hard work and misery, but at least your husband cares about you. You sell vegetables for a living and spend your life hoping that your husband won’t get caught and be hanged. 3 or more Schemer points and less than 3 Kind-Hearted points: You are furious, how could this happen? You become a thug yourself and manage to do quite well before your equally deceitful husband betrays you. You get caught and spend the rest of your life in jail, missed by no one. 3 or more Kind-Hearted points and less than 3 Schemer points: You fall in love with a thug and marry him. You can’t stand the idea that your husband is a criminal and hurts innocent people, however, and so you force him to stop committing crimes. That is all quite commendable, but that now you two have no source of income. You resort to begging, only to find out that other people are not as kind-hearted as you are. |
So I'm German and I tried to understand everything but there is one thing I dont understand: what are these random events and the daily events and the random.org?

Random.org is a site that lets you randomize stuff. You put in the numbers from 1 to 20(? idk how many are there) and it randomizes the number.
As for the events, they are just there to spice up your gameplay so you don't get bored(thanks for making them btw Aisly, I would die)
I hope that is helpful enough.

Thank you for the explanation, @TeckieSimmer! 
Today I happened to find some nice dresses and crowns (made by NotEgain) that I think would be perfect for the princess candidates. Here are the links for those interested:

Talented modders have also created some nice medieval clothing and hairstyles (here on MTS and elsewhere) that would suit the princess candidates well, too.

Hi! Lass mich dir behilflich sein

Die daily events findest du unter "THE DAILY SCHEDULE". Du befolgst einfach die Anweisungen, die für jeden Sim-Tag angesetzt sind. Das Ganze dauert dann 3 Sim-Wochen.
An manchen Tagen gibt es keine speziellen Anweisungen, sondern die random events. (zu finden unter "RANDOM EVENTS"

Falls du noch mehr Fragen hast helfe ich dir gern

I can't talk to anyone other that the other canditates but what about the help you mention? Can I befriend/romance them? what about the other canditates, romance? Thinking it could be pretty intresting whilst I try for the prince. And what about the aspiration points I "accidently" gain? Sometimes I go ahead and tell a joke and that was just what she wanted or something else. Is that allowed and will I count these in too?And may I try to get more points by doing things she wishes for on purpose? I'm planning on using paper.(or maybe this is compliting *whims*? And how do I change traits? # Random event 8: How do I make a guy flirt with me if I don't control him? #Random event 9:Am I acctually to go and talk badly about the other girl? Start a rumor or whatever action is available? This also goes for #Random event 12.

@ninalill, here are some answers to your questions, please tell me if there's anything else I can help you with.
I can't talk to anyone other that the other canditates but what about the help you mention? Can I befriend/romance them?
I'm not sure what you mean by the help, sorry!
what about the other canditates, romance?
You may do that if you wish. Better to keep it a secret, though, so that the prince won't find out.
And what about the aspiration points I "accidently" gain? Sometimes I go ahead and tell a joke and that was just what she wanted or something else. Is that allowed and will I count these in too?And may I try to get more points by doing things she wishes for on purpose? I'm planning on using paper.
Yes, you may, and you count these points, too. In fact, it's even recommended to try to complete as many whims as possible. If you use paper, you can just check how many aspiration points you have accumulated by the end of the challenge and add them.
And how do I change traits?
You can use the full edit mode of CAS to do so, for example. Here are the instructions: 1. Press CTRL+SHIFT+C to bring up the cheats console. 2. Type testingscheats true in the cheat console and press Enter. 3. Type cas.fulleditmode and press Enter. 4. SHIFT + right click on selected sim. 5. Select the Edit in CAS option. Now you can change the traits.
# Random event 8: How do I make a guy flirt with me if I don't control him? #Random event 9:Am I acctually to go and talk badly about the other girl? Start a rumor or whatever action is available? This also goes for #Random event 12.
The random event descriptions are there just for flavor, you don't need to act them out (unless you want to, of course, and can find a way to do so).

Hi... just quick question. I'm doing this and I'm afraid I have run into a bit of a problem. You see, one of the other candidates... one of the other candidates kind of *died* of embarrassment. What ever am I to do?! For now I'll jut play with 4 other candidates.

Oh. That's not supposed to happen...
I'm not Aislynne and I don't know if you should take this suggestion, but you have these options:
1)restart the entire challenge(which is okay, unless you got really far in the challenge, then it kinda sucks)
2)replace the candidate(because she doesn't matter, it's about your main sim, right?)
3)keep playing like nothing happened(probably what I would do, 'cause I'm too lazy to do anything else)
I don't know if I helped(I really hope I did).

Hi, thanks for the ideas, I don't really want to start again because I'm doing a blog on it so I suppose it's whether I can be bothered to make a sim or not LoL, I think for the time being I'm just going to do without the candidate until I can be bothered to make a new candidate.

I agree with @TeckieSimmer, you can pick any one of those three choices. If continuing with one less candidate seems like the best option to you, go ahead! I don't think it will have any negative impact on your challenge. In fact, I think that if some of you want to play a completely ruthless princess candidate, you may even deliberately try to kill another candidate that way.

I have one question, which is probably silly... lol
I am on the day where the Queen has asked all the girls to practice charisma. I know we are not suppose to control the other sims, however, am I suppose to make them practice once and then let the cards fall where they may OR do I continuously make them practice speech throughout the day??
Thanks!

LadyLestat, that's not a stupid question at all!
The rules let you choose either way - make them practice it once or throughout the day. I myself made sure everyone practiced it for at least two hours, but after that, they were free to stop whenever they wanted to. Except my own candidate, that is. I made the poor girl work from dawn to dusk. :D

I am loving this challenge so far. It is really well done and creative. If I ever get a mic for my computer I will do a Lets Play of it!
