The single-mother challenge

I've been thinking of a new challenge and I came up with this one.

Your sim is a single-mother. Despite being young and having little money to raise this child alone, she is determined to overcome her condition. The challenge is to make the child the best at everything and get the mother to the top of her career ladder.

1. Make a Female YA sim (if you like, it can also be a male sim).

2. Make her son/daughter (either a baby or child) - if you want, you can use a pregnant sim you already have, but they must be alone.

3. Family funds have to be low. Move them into the cheapest house on the world you choose and then reduce the funds to 5,000§ and use that to FULLY furnish the house. Whatever is left is the money you'll start with.

4. The child has to have an A in school during their childhood and teenagehood. They must master one skill, preferrably one that's related to their aspiration, as they should also complete their aspiration as a child and a teenager. They must complete all homework and extra credit work that comes up. They must not miss school (going on holiday doesn't count as missing school).

5. The mother must get a job and reach the top of her career ladder. The sim must start the career from the bottom. You can achieve her aspiration or not, it's up to you.

6. The goal is to make them successful.

7. Mother and child must have a good relationship.

8. The child must grow up smart and skillful to get a job and reach the top of the career ladder him/herself and form his/her own family. They must marry to escape the single-parent pattern.

9. The mother cannot marry until the child is a young adult. She must raise the child by herself, without financial help. That doesn't mean that they can't date, of course.

The challenge is accomplished when the child marries and reaches the top of the career ladder.

The challenge finishes (game over) if:

  • The child grows up to a teenager or from a teenager to a young adult without having achieved an A in school.
  • The child gets taken away or dies.
  • The mother doesn't achieve the top of the career ladder before the child becomes a young adult.
  • The mother marries before the child is a young adult. 
  • The mother dies before she can achieve the top of her career ladder or before the child gets to young adult.
  • The child never marries and/or gets to the top of their career.
  • Mother and child have a bad relationship and don't fix it before she dies.

Note: After writing this, I remembered that there might be a challenge like this already and I searched and found the Single Father Challenge, but this one is a little different so I decided to post my version either way.

Have fun!
