Gavin: “I have something for you, by the way!��

Antony: “You? No way! It’s a prank!”

Gavin: “Nope.”

Antony: “C’mon!”

Gavin: “Okay, maybe a little. But it’s perfectly safe to open. Don’t want my disciplinary folder overtake Hank’s in size, you know?”

So what should I buy as Gavin to give Antony, I wondered. Fortunately he already had two objects in his inventory: the wooden sculpture he had bought the day before and an Engineer Corps Honor Medal from his job. Perfect, actually!

Antony: “My honor medal from my military days! You found it! And after all this time!”

Gavin: “Hell, no, mate. I found it back when you lost it already, but hung on to it in case I ever needed to bribe you. But now the year’s almost over, so... Merry Christmas!”

Ronnie’s TS4 Medieval challenge

Your family has always been large, and life as the seventh heir in line is not easy. You’ve spent most of your life hidden in the shadows of your older, more skilled and charismatic siblings. As such, you were positively surprised when you heard that your distant uncle had died and, in his will, left you a considerable amount of land. There was only one catch - you have to move and manage it yourself, leaving your family and previous fortune behind! Happy to snatch up the opportunity and make something of your own you accepted the generous offer and sailed off to make your own name in a distant land...

Rules for the challenge are behind the cut, as I am still testing things out and they may be subject to changes and tweaks!

General Rules:

-You must play on a normal time span

- You must pay your bills “taxes”! (If you have Island Living you may use the off the grid lot trait)

-You may not age up your sims before their birthday

-No gameplay cheats (no influencing sims with cheats - build mode cheats such as moveobjects are fine)

- No gameplay-altering CC (custom traits, furniture and clothing is allowed as long as it’s not especially overpowered/cheap in comparison to the unmodified game’s content)

- You are not allowed to woohoo. You must always “try for baby” if the option is available! (if one of them is already pregnant, an elder or your household is full, this doesn’t apply. Full households and elders can woohoo as much as they want.)

- You are not allowed to purchase seeds, medicine or vampire tomes through the computer. You may purchase seeds through a planter pot only when specified.

- You are not allowed to answer your phone to join events or agree to party (though you may allow others to visit you). You must schedule all of your events in advance.

- You are not allowed to take part in San Myshuno events or travel to San Myshuno

- You may not use the club system unless so specified

- Children and Female Teens must have an adult accompanying them if they visit any non-home lots

- You may send children and teens off as “wards” to other families - you must pay a fee of 10 000 simoleons for their upkeep, however. You may return them to the family whenever, but do not get any of the money back and must repay it if you wish to send them again.

- You are allowed to adopt sims as usual, but they cannot be a Heir to the household.

In Buy/Build Mode:

- You are not allowed to use any items that could not feasibly be found in a fantasy/medieval context unless otherwise specified (toddler potty is allowed)

You can't place or use: - Any electronics (unless otherwise specified) - Amy modern-looking build or buy mode items - Any showers

Marriage:

- Every played sim must pay a dowry of 15 000 simoleons before marrying, unless they stay in the played lot. If they stay in the played lot, they must pay 10000 instead.

Sims can only marry once unless: - despite the player’s attempt their marriage isn’t consummated (sims decline to try for baby after marriage, one of them dies, etc) - they are left “unsatisified” during that time and have never tried for baby since (implying consummation was not succesful) - their partner is caught cheating - Their partner dies as an elder but they are still an adult/young adult (in this case their dowry is lowered to 10000/5000 depending on if they stay on the lot or not)

Determining the heir:

If you are playing this challenge just for fun, you can disregard this part. Otherwise, here is how you determine the heir to the household!

The Heir of the family is the oldest legitimate male child of the previous Heir (unless otherwise specified or no male heirs are available). If the Current Heir’s eldest child has been born out of wedlock, they are uneligible to be the heir - unless the parents marry while the child is still a baby and hasn’t been shown to anyone.

Example: The Family has three children: A(male), B(female) and C(male). A was born before their parents wed, making them an illegitimate heir. B is skipped because they are female and there is a male child further down the line. That makes C, the third child, the Heir to the household.

However, if C dies before becoming an adult, B becomes the heir. If C dies as an adult, already having children, their child will become the heir.

Adopted children are incapable to be Heirs to the household, as they are not a blood relation. But they can still live in the household and help around where needed.

Step 0  (optional) - Setting up your savegame

It is my recommendation that you remove all lots and premade sims from your save and download new medieval ones for the gallery. This isn’t needed but makes it a lot more fun in my opinion!

Recommendations for medieval CC (not affiliated with me in any way): http://ts4medievalfantasy.tumblr.com/ http://valhallansim.tumblr.com/ https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/browse/category/sims4/search/medieval/

http://sssvitlans.tumblr.com/tagged/s4medieval

I recommend downloading much more sims than you would need and setting a large majority of them to not live in houses - this makes the game able use them in many roles it would otherwise create new random sims for. This makes it so that you’ll see significantly less “modern” sims walking around.

Step 1 - Survival

You survey the land you’ve been given and see that while it is blank, it is very fertile. This would make for good farming land. You’re unaccustomed to manual labor, but are determined to make this work.

You must move into the Von-Windenburg estate lot (if you don’t have Get Together, the largest lot you have available is also okay - Windenburg is just a great fit for a medieval look). The lot must be completely empty when you start.

You must purchase: - A bed - A toilet or a bush - A “washbasin” (sink) - A bath

You must attempt to use any remaining money you have to make this cottage more homey. In an ideal case your sims will not have any money left after it is finished.

In this stage, you can make money by farming, fishing and collecting.

To survive, you must farm and fish. You can only eat what you farm/catch!

Goals: -  Fishing Level 5 -  Gardening Level 5

Step 2 - Homestead

Time passes, and you learn the secrets of farming and how to stay alive on your own. You’ve managed to start your little farm, but something is missing from your life. It’s a lonely job, and you start wanting for company. If you haven’t already, it is time to get to know the locals!

Goals: -  Make 5 friends

-  Complete the Freelance Botanist Aspiration

- Build a Cellar ( to simulate a cold cellar, you are allowed to purchase a fridge. When you own a fridge, you can use it to cook from like normal)

- Acquire 10 000 simoleons

Step 3 - Beginning of the Legacy

Now that you start to be more comfortable with your new home and a feel for the new community you’ve become a part of, you start to yearn for a family of your own. Maybe it’s because of the time spent apart has made your memories of your own family feel better than they actually were, or maybe it’s just the loneliness talking. Either way, you’re ready to move on with your life. First you need to prepare, though...

You may now own a carpentry table and make money by carpentry.

Goals: - Upgrade your house to a proper farmstead to fit a family.

- Pay a dowry (you can use cheats to remove the money)

- Get Married

- Consummate the Marriage (try for baby)

Once your husband/wife has moved in, you may make a family club to keep track of them better.

Step 4 - Family Life

Family life as a farmer may or may not be what you always wanted, but overall you’ve become very happy with your lot in life. Working daily on the farm and spending time with your lovely family at home has become very important to you. You didn’t really plan for this when starting out. Thankfully you got here anyway.

Goals: - Have at least one legitimate Heir

- Handiness level 10

Step 5 - Fort Legacy

As your family and your farm grows, so do also the dangers surrounding you. It’s time to secure your home with a fort, and hire some help for the fields so that you have more time for the family.

Goals:

- Build a tower fort for your sims to live in. You may keep their previous home on the lot and use it for your workers instead.

- Create housing for your workers (if you decide to bulldoze the farm)

- Recruit workers for your fields (create a club with a gardening activity and/or hire a professional gardener)

- Have a family member complete the Leader of the Pack Aspiration

- Host a Wedding

Step 6 - Production

Your fields are doing well - so well, in fact, that even after you have plenty enough to sell. At home things are getting a bit complicated...

Should you so choose, you may buy a store or a restaurant at this point.

Male non-heirs to the family may now work in the following careers: Business

Goals:

- Have a family member complete the Big Happy Family Aspiration

(Bonus: - Have an Illegitimate Heir)

- Have a family member complete the Soulmate Aspiration

- Have a toddler in the family

- Reach generation 3

Step 7 - Ruling Class

Your family has become very influential in the area, and people have grown to respect you, seeking your advice on many matters big and small. 

Male n on-heirs to the family may now work in the following careers: Business , Painter, Entertainer, Criminal. Working at a job makes them uneligible to ever become the heir unless no other heirs remain.

You may now make money by painting.

You may now hire any services.

Goals:

- Extend the tower fort you previously built to make a castle

- Recruit servants (create a club with a cleaning/fixing activities or/and hire a butler or a maid)

- Have a family member complete the Mansion Baron Aspiration

- Have a family member complete the Friend of the World Aspiration

Step 8 - Legacy Kingdom

Your family has been here for longer than most, and people know it. People often come from elsewhere to visit you. You are now responsible of the well being of a great number of people. Hopefully you won’t squander it.

Goals: - Crown your family head as a King/Queen and have a party in their Honor.

- Recruit Knights and have quarters for them (create a club with a fitness activities)

- Allow Nobility into the Castle (create a club with art/ socializing activities)

- Have a family member complete the Fabulously Wealthy Aspiration

- Have a family member complete the Chief of Mischief Aspiration

- Build a Collections Vault

Step 9 - Happy Kingdom

Time goes on and so does life. New things are brewing in the kingdom. The Kingdom is blooming, and the court is full of life.

You can now purchase seeds through the planter. Or “from the local shoppe”

- Have a picnic - Host a Ball

- Have a family member complete the Serial Romantic Aspiration

- Have a family member complete the Party Animal Aspiration

- Have a sim die as an Elder

Step 10 - Enlightement

There are more things to life than fun and games - and your family is an especially keen supporter of the arts.  It feels like change is in the air, but no one can quite put their finger on it.

Goals: - Visit an Art Gallery

- Visit a Museum

- Have a social gathering at a Museum

- Visit a cafe

- Have a family member complete the Painter Extraordinare Aspiration

- Have a family member complete the Bestselling Author Aspiration

- Have a family member complete the Musical Genius Aspiration

- Find and harvest a Plasma tree

- Meet a Vampire

Step 11 - Neverending Kingdom

You have seen them, and they are powerful. The only way to protect your family and Kingdom is to fight fire with fire... or Vampires with Vampires. You cannot risk allowing this plague to spread its devious roots in the general population. This must be dealt with. And yours is the only family with the power and the means to do so.

Goals: - Have a family member complete the Vampire Family Aspiration

- Have a family member complete the Master Vampire Aspiration

- Slay or Cure a total of 5 vampires

- Reach generation 10

Sims 4 /fonv gameplay

(we have Rex, everybody loves him)

[enkisstories]

Gavin was about to pass by Officer Mack and System Administrator Miller, when the duo stopped him.

"How?” the officers prodded, “Pray tell, how can you tell Chika apart from Rika? They look identical! They ARE identical in all respects!”

Gavin: “You’d like to know that, huh, Alakay?”

Alakay, the lion who danced when should have fought! That was Gavin’s derogatory for Alexander Mack, and the nickname normally served to humiliate the man utterly. Today it gave the officer hope to maybe get an answer out of his co-worker. If Gavin alakay’ed Alex, chances were he’d follow up with a show of his own greatness.

However...

Gavin: “See, that’s why you are a beat cop, but I’m the detective. - Toodles!”

Alexander: “Danggit! Not even other androids can tell our receptionist twins apart! And neither can Antony, despite being our resident android overseer. So what’s this man’s secret?!”

Susan: “Maybe he just hit an insanely long streak of getting a 50% chance right? But, no, scratch that. Gavin isn’t guessing. I noticed him look at Chika intently before saying its name.”

[enkisstories]

Eww...

It’s probably just ashes from a Mischief festival, but in conjunction with the pigeons it looks like guano.

And so Antony Deckart spent the second day of Christmas cleaning the square of pigeon poop.

He still had it better than Gavin Reed. The detective had to disband a political protest for no other reason than it being spontaneous. Freeze ray’ing the protesters hurt them, pained the detective and might also sadden the mayor when she’d hear about the incident later.

So why were they doing this, the duo wondered. Because it was the law? And because if they did nothing today, tomorrow a nefarious group might take advantage of their inaction and cite today as a precedence?

Some days that sounded so hollow...

[enkisstories]

Another tradition of Boxing Day was to literally box gifts to show your gratitude to your servants. The DPD’s patrol androids counted as such, but Antony had never considered giving them presents. Something had changed, though...

Antony decided to gift the patrol bots money. If the androids were stable, nothing more than sophisticated mobile cameras, they’d spend the money in accordance with their programming: protecting the citizens of Detroit. Antony thus wouldn’t have squandered the money on “dolls”, but done a good deed.

But if the androids were persons for real, then deciding what to do with the money might help them get even deeper into their personhood. What might at first be painful for the young person in question, but ultimately would constitute an even better deed.

PJ700-303 (sending): <<<It’s a trick. Mister Deckart wants to check if any of us are deviants and then dismantle the affected units. Don’t fall for it, friend!>>>

PC200-250: <<<Maybe you’re right. But this could be a once-in-a-lifetime chance...>>>

PC200-250: “I don’t want your money, Officer! I wanna get transferred to the motorbike patrol squad!!!”

(He was the only one to agitatedly talk to Antony after receiving his present.)

Meanwhile the other PC200 sat in the reception hall, admiring the tree for hours.

Surviving the Holiday, Prologue 2: Gavin

The next morning, at the Detroit Police Department Central Station, the officers of the morning shift trickled in one by one.

One of those was Gavin Reed, a detective of the homicide section. The man had applied for transfer to the more prestigious paranormal investigations section, (especially since that one was still lacking a Lieutenant, and Gavin felt more than qualified to fill that slot), but every time Captain Fowler had rejected the appliccation. Only the dead, the Captain claimed, were patient enough to endure Gavin’s inappropriate jokes.

Gavin: “‘morning, Chika!”

Chika: “Good morning, detective.”

That was a new tune the detective was playing! A human supremacist to his very core, Gavin would never have greeted an android first. But as of this fall the man did so regularly. Strangely enough there had been no change in his treatment of androids in other regards.

So there had to be an ulterior motive here. But what was it, the receptionist android wondered?

[enkisstories]

Claudia: “Okay, I can make a break. - Feel like punching something?”

At this point David wrestled control from me and proceeded to the “Mean” menu:

David: “Matter of fact, yes! My younger self! What were we thinking, making those brats of ours!”

Claudia: “Ey...?”

David: “It was all fun and games when they were in the crib, and started to toddle. But now they’ve grown into monsters that think they can command us around like we were androids! And it’ll be another twelve years ‘till they are out of the house...”

[enkisstories]

It was Christmas morning and although the holiday shift officers had to spend the day at the police station, that didn’t stop them from running to the tree in their PJs.

“In my family we exchange gifts at Christmas Eve already”, Gavin chatted away. “Here, look, Tina sent a video of Jin playing with the mermaid playset I bought for him!”

Antony: ”Phew. For a moment I was afraid it would be another cat video... But that’s not a toddler you two have there, but an anthropomorphic water rat.”

Gavin: “Yeah, yeah, I know. He got the water part from his mom and the rat part from me. Now open your package! - Ew, no, not the robot building kit. The other one!”

Gavin: “What did you get? Oh, crap, a lousy postcard...”

Antony: “A postcard from Littlehaven, signed by a certain someone by hand. That is proof they are safe and that in turn is worth more than anything.”

Not their best haul. Antony got that postcard, and Gavin got nothing at all (not even a notification).

[enkisstories]

EEEEEP!

The next morning the officers of the holiday shift still could not return home. First the police station had to get dusted and de-bunnied.

[enkisstories]

Antony: “Who’s that bloke outside? The one scanning our doorplate?”

Gavin: “An eco inspector. He got alerted that our energy production might not be green enough.”

Antony: “We... don’t produce energy, though? I mean, we’re the police department!”
