Julia Beale recently divorced her husband and has found that her daughter isn't taking things too well. After the divorce, Brioney went off the rails and began failing at school and hanging out with the wrong crowd so Julia decided to move to a new town and, hopefully, a new start. Something tells me it wont be that simple...

Task

You musy move in one parent and one teen from CAS into a new home/empty lot. They may both be either male or female and have any aspiration and personality you choose. The mother/daughter scenario above is just an example. Your mission is to turn your teenage outcast into a through and through dirtbag before age change.

Rules

* At no point must your teen become friends with their parent.
* Your teen may only have no more than 3 friends (their clique), and they must become best friends with each of them before age change.
* The clique may be formed of other playable sims if you choose, but you must not play their families while the challenge is in progress.
* Your teen must miss school at least once a week.
* Your teen, plus at least one member of their clique must visit a community lot at least once every weekend.
* Your teen may not have a job.
* Your teen has a disrespect for elders, they may not interact with any adult or elder other than their parent.
* Your teen may have a boy/girlfriend if you choose, but any partner MUST be a member of the clique.
* Your teen must have a first kiss with a clique member before age change.
* If your teen runs away, the parent MUST call the cops. If the teen does not come back the challenge is over.
* you may use custom content, but no hacked objects such as mood adjusters.
* You may use the elixer of life to extend the challenge.
* You may not use cheats.

Scoring

* -1000 if your teen and parent become friends at any point.
* -50 for an A report card.
* +50 for a D report card.
* +10 for every friend in their clique.
* +20 for every best friend in their clique.
* -50 for every friend outside the clique.
* +50 for every enemy.
* +20 for every fight won.
* +10 for every fight lost.
* -50 for every adult and elder sim on their relationship panel (penalty does not apply to the parent).
* +10 for every night snuck out.
* +20 for every night brought home by cops.
* +50 for every elixer emptied by the teen.


The reason I created this challenge was because I was stuck in a rut of perfect lives, with perfectly behaved children and I wanted to break a few habits. I hope you enjoy the challenge. Please feel free to share stories and pictures of your own dirtbags.

I love it!

You are allowed to *talk* to other sims besides the three in the clique, right? As long as they don't become friends?

So, if the teen ages up, the challenge is over?

that is correct, but the use of the elixer is allowed if you wish to extend the challenge.

How do you get the teen to sneak out? I've had teens drive to community lots and they come back and nothing happens...

You have to wait until it's later at night (try it at 10pm or so) and then use the phone... it will give you a "Sneak Out" option and then make a call so you can pick a friend to go out with.

I think I like the idea of this challenge. It will certainly give more fun to playing the teen years. I'm going to try this out.

This is my dirtbag, Brioney Beale.

She has the wierdest relationship with a townie boy. All they do is fight and make out! They completely hate one another, but if I look away from the screen for just a second they start making out. I've never had a sim that acts in this way. Brioney is a popularity sim, and having only 3 friends is killing her. All she wants to do is throw parties and eat mac and cheese.

This challenge looks awesome, I'll try it as soon as I'm bored with Sims 2 (as I'm playing on getting it either today or tomorrow, that might be a white ;))

There's a problem, when I made the family the teen and parent were automatically friends. I don't take off points for that. Do I?

madsaffs

hmm, I've never had that happen before. just make sure that they are no longer friends when the challenge ends and you dont have to lose points :-)

I'm trying to decrease the relationship between my dirtbag and his mother, it's like 45 right now and I don't want them to be friends. I tried having him throw a water balloon at her, but I think I made her too playful because it made the relationship go up. x.x

madsaffs

yeh water balloons are usully a social interaction. the best thing to do is irritate or argue if you can. Other than that I try to make them avoid one another as much as possible and let the relationship go down naturally over time.

How is everyone getting on with the chellenge? I'm up to my 4th elixer by now, I wont let Brioney grow up cz I'm having too much fun. If things carry on like this then the mother will be an elder before my dirtbag makes it to adult. lol

Can you turn aging off?

lizziebee

It would probably be cheating to boolprop the relationship to neutral. :P I might make a new family and start over, I'll find something else for the current ones to do, lol.

madsaffs
27th Jul 2010, 03:08 PM
lizziebee, yes, boolprop is considered cheating.

Alexandra - If you are enjoying playing then you can turn aging off, but not if you are keeping score. the challenge has to end some time!

Your challege sets up a complex and thorough personality for the teen sim. If one wanted, they could use the parent as the pressure forcing this destructive personality. A parent with abusive tendencies or boundary issues (read Lolita) would be an enemy of the teen. Irregular work habits or use of the noodlesoother (my version of sims on drugs) also gets disrespect from the teen. When I play, I will create a good reason why the teen has a disrespect for elders.
That disrespect may turn into a disdain for almost all other sims after the challenge is over.

Sometimes it's hard to make parent/child have a bad relationship, even makeing sure they never interact. One thing that works (somestimes) is haveing the teen TINKER with electronic things, while the parent is in the room. The teen has to not have a lot of machanical skill; the appliance will break and the parent will LECTURE; this creats some negative feelings. I also have fried teens doint this.
