Default ~ The Selection ~ (Search for the Perfect Princess)
This is a challenge inspired by ( pretty much based on )the book series - The Selection - by Kierra Cass. Obviously, in this challenge things may be a little different. If you're a fan of the novel and really want to recreate the entire story- that's up to you, really. But in case you don't know, it's sort of a high stakes 'the Bachelor'. You have a Prince (and you should totally have a King/Queen on -another- lot you'll see why in a bit.) and he's the head of the household. Maybe he's handsome, charming, romantic, and suave young adult. Maybe he's a mature and confident adult. Maybe he's an old man, still in touch with his youth, and he has enough money to take care of a young wife. Who knows, it's up to you! Anyway, the Prince needs to marry himself a Princess.

Because it's a prince choosing in the book, I've made it a prince with princesses, but if you want to make it a princess with princes that's fine too. Just assume all of the genders are reversed or whatever. :D

It's been the law in the kingdom for like, forever, that everytime a prince wants to find a bride, he has to choose one from his own kingdom. So he'll have several come to live with him, and he'll court each and every single one of them as his princess- looking for his true love and future wife. A true fairytale happily ever after.

Make Your Contestants! You can either make the Prince and his parents and five girls, or you can make the prince and seven girls- then separately make his parents, and use a cheat code to make them related. Either way the King and Queen need to be in the neighborhood. If you choose to make him, his parents, and five girls- in the game you have to move his parents out onto another lot. Then, you need to move in two girls to fill the slots, whether you create two more and merge them, or you choose two from the neighborhood. Ideally, the girls should be attractive, because they're picked based off of good genetics. If you want to change this up and have your 'main character' be a rough and tough tomboy who breaks the mold, that's cool, that's up to you. But a must is that they all dress fashionably, like princesses. So even if you have that one that you made to be average looking punk- once she's a contestant she's dressing like a debutante.

The Castle! Choose a big lot, a large lot, like, a 'legacy challenge' style lot. One of the big 50x50's is ideal, is what I'm getting at here. You have unlimited funds, this is not a money making cheat, make an extravagant palace (or choose from the gallery ;p) The castle must have: Sleeping spots for -all- of the girls, activities for the girls to do individually and with the prince (maybe some chess tables in the yard, painting easels on the balconies, etc. ), a separate and more grand room for the Prince.

Win the Crown - Romance the Prince! Once the girls are in the castle, it's on like Donkey Kong! They are all competing to become the next princess, and the Prince is on the search for his true love in the ones among them. Maybe the girls are catty with each other, maybe a couple form alliances, either way, the ultimate goal is marriage to the Prince. This means that every girl must present the best version of herself, she must try to outdo and overdo herself in everything. Because the Prince needs to see how wonderfully perfect they are. But as time dwindles on, the girls are going to be eliminated, and eventually, only one will be his bride.


RULES

1.) Turn off aging.

2.) If a girl is eliminated she may not be replaced. If she's disqualified or she died, she may be replaced (up to you) but it has to be a different girl. You can't remake the same one.

3.) You may not be bias against any of the girls. You may, in the course of their storyline, have them sabotage each other. (Maybe girl five is mean to girl six and girl six is angry when she talks to the prince.) But you, as the player, can't like...IDK....force them to do things that will hurt their chances, or lock them in a room for two days so they stink when they talk to the prince. The Prince may save a girl from being sabotaged!

4.) No contact with people outside. The Prince may, every once and again, if you really want-- leave the castle. Maybe to do Princely duties, but the girls may not. And the girls may not talk to people from the neighborhood, and they may not invite over or go out with anyone from the neighborhood. They can only be social with each other and with the Prince. The Exception is if the Prince takes one of them out on a date.

5.) The Prince must favor one girl every week. To choose who he favors, have him take her on a date. You're basically giving her the extra privileges for the week. For the rest of the week, he may not take out any others. She then must sleep with him every night and she will be allowed, for the week, to sit in the throne next to his. But after the week is up you may not take her on a date again until you've taken every other girl out. For every single girl, on the date, you have to -try- for a gold medal. Because of rule two you aren't allowed to make the date go poorly.

6.) The Prince is not allowed to have a girlfriend unless they're all his girlfriends, and is not allowed to propose until the last girl is eliminated. The Prince shouldn't be allowed to romance a girl outside the palace, but I won't make that a rule, because if you want to make him a player- who am I to stop you!

6.) Woohooing is illegal. So the prince may only woohoo once a week, with one girl. Whether it's the one he favors or not. Do not Try for a Baby. If you do, and she gets pregnant she's immediately disqualified and she and her baby have to leave the castle. Depending on how challenging you want to make this for yourself, it's up to you whether or not to replace her with another girl. What you do with her in the course of your storyline is up to you, whether you abandon her to her own life or use her for added story drama, but she's no longer eligible for the crown. You may not use try for baby to purposefully disqualify a sim you don't like.


Points!

Each girl will tally up points throughout the week to see which one is eliminated. At the end of the week you must eliminate the one with the lowest points and who doesn't have a lifeline. Each girl every week, by default will be reset to 30 points. She must do positive actions to gain points, and any negative actions will lose points. Keep track of her total points throughout the challenge because of her lifeline(s).
Lifeline: If a girl is going to be eliminated, she may switch her points and make the points she has tallied her total and her total the points she has tallied. So if she has 190 in the bank, and this week she was unlucky enough to only have ten, you may switch it and make it so this week her points are 190 and her total is 10. She may only do this once. (Option: She may only do this if her total points are -more- than what the winner has for the week.)
(Optional)Second lifeline: The prince has grown really attached to that girl and he isn't ready to see her go. According to law the prince is allowed to save her. A girl may only be saved by him -once-, and that will make her points the following week reset to 0 instead of 30.

If week one she ended up with 220, on week two you'd start with 30. You may not add any of that 220 to the 30. If on week two she ended up with another 220, the total would be 440, and she'd still reset with 30. See what I mean?

At the end of this challenge, two girls left, the prince will choose the one with the most total points including the points they won that week. Then he'll propose to that girl, and it's up to you whether the challenge is over or their child gets to go through the same thing. .


Weekly events (points - parenthesis are for favored girl)

A.) A visit from the King and Queen -- the Prince is close to his parents, and his parents are breathing down his neck! They want to make the decision for him make sure their boy has good girls to choose from! When they're here the girls are falling all over themselves trying to please and befriend his parents! Race to make sure they're the one who ends up talking to the Queen in the garden, race to make sure they're the one serving the King some lunch, make sure they're the one the King likes. Go girls, go!
Maybe they sabotage another girl, maybe they're the one being sabotaged! BUT MAKE SURE THEY DON'T NEGLECT THE PRINCE! Try to keep those flirtations subtle, it's doubtful his parents want to see someone so flamboyant in her flirtations!....Well, actually, the King seems to like it!

Points:
Flirt with the King to win his favor [bad girl]: +20 (+25)
Failed flirtation with the King: -25 (-30)

At the end of the visit the King will add 35 points to another girl's *TOTAL*

B.) A Date with the Prince! She's so lucky, the Prince wants to take -her- on a date this week. After being cooped up behind the palace walls for so long, she's so excited to have alone time with the prince, and be outside with him at that! He wants to show heroff! Better be on her best behavior! Or....maybe her not so best behavior

Winning a gold medal: +30 immediately added to her*TOTAL*
Winning a silver medal: +20 immediately added to her *TOTAL*
Winning a bronze medal: +15 immediately added to her *TOTAL*

C.) THE PRINCE WANTS TO HAVE A PARTY! (Generic House or Dinner Party, no one from outside household) Just her and the prince.....oh, and all the others too. Ugh. During this event you choose *one* girl to control (which it's totally fine if that's how you're playing anyway), and for the duration of the party you can only control her. You may not flirt with the prince, only friendly interactions, any flirting has to be him to you. It's time to make this party succeed single handedly. Oh, and maybe make sure the prince notices you.

The Prince flirts with you: +15 to weekly points and +15 to her *TOTAL*

Winning a gold medal: +30 immediately added to her*TOTAL*
Winning a silver medal: +20 immediately added to her *TOTAL*
Winning a bronze medal: +15 immediately added to her *TOTAL*

D.) END OF THE WEEK! Here it is, a week finale! He's going to do something special, and when he does, he'll eliminate one girl, and he'll choose the one he wants to favor next! The King and Queen will be here, too! Crossing her fingers she waits, waits and hopes that he doesn't eliminate her.
(This is totally on you. You can throw a dinner party, you can pretend to have a ball. You can have another house party, whatever! Make it something wowing!)
