do you mean teens? children can't move out or get jobs even with hacks (or am i wrong?). that aside, is the challenge just to see if you can play through six children and raise them good?

There doesnt seem to be much of a challenge in that, try adding some new elements, or a story to make it interesting :) x

You'll probably get more people to reply if you put a little more effort into your challenge :) . You know, use spell check, write a story like Vickwee said, put more detail in, add more elements.

Ok,my first challenge was a flop.no replies,and 119 views as of august 3rd.
Here is my next challenge
Create a family... <snip>
+25 for each friend.
+29 for each best friend....<snip> When I read your post the only thing that seems different than how I think the majority of people play their game is the points awarded for making friends and best friends. Since making as many friends as possible seems to be the goal of your challenge the next step is to actually make it challenging to do that. Right now there isn't anything in place that does that--you need to create restrictions and obstacles that get in the way of creating friends.

Once you have the rules of the challenge worked out you actually need to play your challenge from start to finish. Was it too hard? Too easy? Make any changes to the rules you think are needed.

Now you have to play your challenge again with your new rules. Was it fun? Did you like playing that way? If it wasn't fun or at any point you lost interest in the challenge chances are no one else is going to want to play it either. You need to come up with another idea and start over. If you did like playing, great! It sounds like you have a challenge worked out that other people might actually want to play too.

The last step is thinking up a story that gives people a reason why they can't use the phone or whatever restrictions you come up with that makes it hard to make friends. As the challenge creator you need to come up with the story that explains the rules and also assign the roles of the sims. If you don't do all of those things it's not really a challenge.

Good luck tweaking this idea or coming up with your next one. I look forward to seeing it. :)

Also... why do you have to dress two of the kids in specific outfits??

[aishah2195]

whats the point of having 1 in a tuxedo and one as a bully? its a really boring challenge to be honest. Sorry, i know thats mean but you have to try and make something more original and fun!

[Nightbusiness]

outfits ar optianal,and sorry about boringness. i`m not very good yet.teens ok.

I find the last comment a little rude ... Constructive criticism is a great way for you to build a great challenge, especially if you're new to challenges :)

Have you played and tested the challenge?

sorry.i was just annoyed that the first 6 replies had been mostly negative.just made the family.

[katalina522]

Aw. While we do understand your enthusiasm and eagerness to jump in and start posting things, there are lots of challenges on here and it helps a lot to test in advance so you know if your own will work and be fun to play. Browse through the challenges here on MTS, too--you will see that the ones people enjoy the most are pretty elaborate, or have an interesting story that ties the gameplay elements together.
