About to start this challenge made a few tweaks for it because i am going to be streaming it they are minimal though and mostly for looks and game play

first off instead of cheating away all the money i used it to buy plants and foliage that doesn't effect the environment just makes it look more like my sims is roughing it out doors not just squatting in an empty field where any adult and see and be like.. something isn't quite right here...as for when she goes to build then i planned to remove then money.

second change i added one plant that changes things, the Get Together bush so i don't have to travel for her to pee every 5 mins XD

Good luck. I purposely made my sim have to travel to pee as I love the difficulty this brings but I can totally see how going through a loading screen while doing a Let's Play would be an issue!

I've done this one multiple times and it's a lot of fun. What amuses me immensely is seeing Jacques Villareal in his stained clothing sleeping on park benches.

I do think I want to find a way to make it harder, though.

Glad you had fun! I agree, I love making restrictions for my sims to try to make the game as difficult as possible.

@Playalot

Oops, sorry about hijacking the Cats & Dogs thread. When you mentioned that "over there," I thought to myself, "Wait, what thread IS this?"  Lol.
Personally, I can't wait to see how you change up this challenge for Cats & Dogs!!!
I believe there's a real demand among forum members for shorter challenges where we're not stressing over a score or the Hall of Fame.
Well, I can't pretend to speak for all forum members but I, for one, am a simmer who cannot for the life of me play a "casual for-fun game."
I need some restrictions, some objectives, some structure to my gameplay.

Okay,  I'm going to stop here before this turns into an essay. Please know that I'm really happy to hear that you'll be incorporating pets into this challenge! Yay!

@oshizu  I'm the same, I need restrictions. As soon as I get my hands on the pack I'll be working on the rules here.  :)

Same here. When I try play "sandbox", I end up getting bored within a week! (and that would be a Simweek just FYI lol). Not that I've ever properly completed a challenge before (in fact, I think the Forum Tournament last year was the closest I've come), so I think a short challenge might be what I need to revive me. I keep meaning to give this challenge a shot, and then I get distracted by SimLit and my various save games. I have waaaaaaaaaaaaay too many save games!

I hear you on the save games @Magpie2012   :-\ I'm addicted to new starts.

Two words for you: Drifter Challenge.

It's tailor made for starting over.

I've got to wrap my head around finishing 1 challenge. I'm sort for enjoying the ISBI challenge, but, with pets out today, I think it's going to be a while before I do any non-sandbox playing. I've been waiting for pets forever! It's always one of my top 3 EPs in every iteration of the Sims games.

Ok so I updated this set of rules for Cats and Dogs but I'm not that happy with it so I changed it back.  I think what I will do is write a brand new Teen Runaway-Pets version. I'll start working on this new challenge today.

@Playalot

I never finished the Runaway Teen - Pets version. It must have been running a vet clinic.
However, I am planning to play an off-the-grid version of your wonderful challenge soon within my Build-A-City Challenge.
After buying a tent, my teen might buy some shubbery to make their starting lot look more "wild."
Hope you've been well! :)

Hi @oshizu  Sounds fun for you. Off The Grid adds another element to the game play which is a good thing! Been very well thank you :)
