Sink Your Teeth into the New Year!

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Goal
(Think of the Count from Sesame Street) "Helloooooooo, Simmers. I have your necks challenge. Ah ha ha ha haaaaaa. Vampires! Like me, of course. You will need to get your vampire to Grand Master level. Whew...that's a lot of counting. And speaking of counting, my lucky number is 13. You will also vaaant to create 13 vampires, spar with 13 vampires, and cure 13 vampires. Let's count together...one vampire...two vampires...Fangs for participating!"

General Challenge Rules
The General Challenge Rules always apply. If applicable, exceptions will be noted below.

Specific Challenge Rules

• Create one YA vampire in CAS.
• You must choose the Private Dwelling lot trait and the debug cheat to purchase a satellite to prevent abductions.
• Your Sim is not allowed to move.
• You may not add to the household.
• Your Sim may not own a pet.
• Clubs are banned.
• This challenge ends when your vampire has become a Grand Master, created 13 different vampires, sparred with 13 different vampires, and cured 13 different vampires.

Scoring
Time. This is your total time (in minutes) it takes for your vampire to become a Grand Master, create 13 vampires (your vampires must complete the transformation), spar with 13 vampires (winning is not required, but you must let the animation play out and not cancel early), and cure 13 vampires. Make sure to plug in all necessary information into Lena's spreadsheet. Keep in mind that with a vampire you won't have x number of days until the Sim becomes an adult to work with. Just make note of how many times you pass the 8 a.m. on Sunday mark for weeks, and then keep track of days and the time.

Ch-Ch-Changes
The team does not want to edit and make changes to the ruleset once this event goes live, but we may have to. If an exploit is brought to our attention or we discover something else we reserve the right to ask affected players to redo their effort.

Have Questions?
Please think hard before you ask in the challenge thread because it may be strategy. What you may consider an innocent question could cause another player to go — “Oh, I did not think of doing that.” It’s always safer to PM everyone on the team (Metro, LenaLJ, sdhoey, and MarianT) for clarifications. Thanks.

And the Winner is...
After this event has closed everyone is encouraged to discuss how they approached the event, but the winner especially is expected to do so in detail.

Can't wait for Jan 1st. I love vampires. 

[Metropolis Man]

Can't wait for Jan 1st. I love vampires. 

Me too. And great job by the way in the Finale this year. Good luck next season.

I clarified the sparring requirement since we had a question this morning...

Time. This is your total time (in minutes) it takes for your vampire to become a Grand Master, create 13 vampires, spar with 13 vampires (winning is not required, but you must let the animation play out and not cancel early), and cure 13 vampires. Make sure to plug in all necessary information into [Lena's spreadsheet]. Keep in mind that with a vampire you won't have x number of days until the Sim becomes an adult to work with. Just make note of how many times you pass the 8 a.m. on Sunday mark for weeks, and then keep track of days and the time.

[MarianT]

I clarified the 'create 13 vampires" requirement:

create 13 vampires (your vampires must complete the transformation)

[Metropolis Man]

Woot! A great screenshot courtesy of Lena to set the tone. Nice job!

[MarianT]

Ooo, love the picture, Lena!

[sdhoey]

Nice pic Lena.

[Deklitch]

Ooh, I love that picture as well, Lena

[TheWaybad]

How exciting. Wasn't expecting the challenge to have been posted already! Great work.

[KennyraeWolf]

How do you cure vampires without moving them into your household?

[Deklitch]

Not a team member, but @KennyraeWolf , I think that is a question you should perhaps PM the team with. From the opening post of this thread

You might also like to see if there is anything in the Sims 4 guides about Vampires and how to do that, there might be an answer there.
By the way, I don't know the answer myself to your question.

[Metropolis Man]

Thank you, @Deklitch, for covering for us. Yes, "how do you x?" types of questions should basically never be asked before a challenge begins. So, check out Carl's Guides, etc. And thank you for joining the forum, @KennyraeWolf.

[Metropolis Man]

Lena's spreadsheet is now done and linked (thank you, as always, Lena).

[oshizu]

I had a good laugh at the intro to this challenge!  So many silly vampiric puns! They were fangtastic!
Love the screenshot as well!

Thank you to the Challenges Team for another year of fun challenges!
