Sims 4 Community Lockdown Challenge

-

🌆 Community Lockdown Challenge — Master Ruleset

Premise

Everything starts locked: no jobs, no services, no community lots. You rebuild society by maxing skills, paying fees, and opening venues.

Setup

  • Start with any number of households in any world.

  • Starting funds: §20,000 per household.

  • No money cheats.

  • You can build wherever/whatever you want after you’ve unlocked it.

  • Every lot must have simple living and off the grid

Careers

  • To unlock a career: max the required skill(s) → build the venue → pay the fee.

  • When a career unlocks, only 1 Sim may join it.

  • Each Level 10 (topped) Sim in that career opens 1 additional slot in that same career.

  • One skill max = one career choice. If a skill unlock lists multiple careers, the Sim who maxed it chooses one to unlock.

Expansion

  • Every 5 topped careers = unlock 1 new world.

Population

  • Population = Playable Sims × Settlement Multiplier (SM).

  • SM starts at 1 and +1 for every unlock (career, service, major system).

  • Topping careers does not increase SM.

University

  • Library built + Research & Debate 10 → §25,000 → University unlocked (available to all).

Registration

  • City Hall (Charisma 10) unlocks Politician/Business/Law.

  • After Business is unlocked at City Hall, Freelancers & Odd Jobs are globally allowed/registered there.

Since Boolprop birthday is coming up, the boolprop team made a challenge called the Baby Boomer challenge. I decided to try it out because I want some points for my team.    It is a cute challenge. Basically I have to have 24 children, 12 girls and 12 boys.  I set down a plot of land, I don't remember how big, but I made them a huge house and all they could afford was a bed, bathroom and a kitchen.  Barbie and Ken don't seem to mind though because they have each other. Did I really name them Barbie and Ken? Yes I did. Also I am so surprised they are so cute because they only have 1 bolt of chemistry.  Since one of the sims can have a job I make the non baby having one, aka the male, get a job. He got one in law enforcement. Ken goes on a jog while the welcome wagon makes its appearance. I put them in Strangetown because it is my favorite town.  Ken gets back from his jog only to be attacked in his own.. 'home', if that's what ...
