The Sims 4 - Rags to Riches Challenge: Day 5

All my hard work foraging, fishing, gardening and painting has paid off. I was able to build a house.


I played for longer today so I played for more sim days than I normally do which meant I was able to earn a lot more money to be able to buy more things.

I used the computer at the library to order myself 2 of each seed pack and planted them in by back garden then sold the leftover flowers and put the fruit and vegetables in my fridge to make cooking certain items cheaper.

With my sim being able to sleep, shower, use a toilet and cook proper meals she was maxed needs most of the time and because her gardening skill increased she spent time talking to her plants so that her social skill went up.

I bought her a flower Arranging table before I logged off so that she could use her flowers to make arrangements and then sell them at her yard sales or just sell them if I needed the money to pay bills.

My house has a 3x3 size bathroom with a shower, toilet and sink, then she has a 4x3 size bed room with the second best bed, then the whole front on the house is a kitchen living room in one where there's her cooker, fridge, counter, easel and a cheap sofa.

The bathroom and bedroom walls have been decorated and the out side of the house has been decorated, I debated on wallpapering the inside of buying windows so I didn't have to buy lights and I went with the windows.

I'm going to take some time away from this challenge and do something else for a few days but I do intend to continue the challenge and get her a mansion.

The Sims 4 - Rags to Riches Challenge: Day 4

Day 4 was pretty much like day 3 she foraged, gardened, painted and did 3 yard sales.

I had my first lot of bills which were $40 which wasn't too bad and meant that I could build a 3x3 room attached to my lot so I could put in the shower and toilet.

From my foraging and painting I was also able to buy the cheapest fridge, counter and cooker and sell my fire pit and chair.

I'm not gonna lie but now she is happy most of the time I am getting a little bored and I am probably going to play something else for a few days.

The Sims 4 - Rags to Riches Challenge: Day 3

Whooo I have 4 walls

Today has been a good day I did the usual foraging route once she woke up and then I gardened and did a yard sale where she sold almost everything and I had enough money after selling all the flowers, fruit and vegetables and fish in my inventory, the bush and a couple of paintings to build a 4x5 size room with a door and put in the cheapest bed, shower and toilet.

After I built the house and gave her a shower she mainly fished and painted, she is happy most of the time but her fun and social needs are often low.

The Sims 4 - Rags to Riches Challenge: Day 2

Today has been a slight improvement but still hard, she did her daily lap of the neighbourhood foraging and got a few items to sell on the stall but I had trouble with keeping her fun and social up.

She was able to eat the fish she fished up and the mushrooms and strawberries in her inventory to keep her hunger up and she used the bush for the toilet but she crashed and burned a few times from exhaustion until I took her to the park so she could sleep on the bench.

With the money I made from the yard sales and selling the flowers I bought her an easel, I know I should have bought her a bed first but I thought an easel would be better seeing as she can make money painting which she seems to enjoy due to her being a creative sim.

The Sims 4 - Rags to Riches Challenge: Day 1

This is Kaley Gruber (I randomised the name), she has CC hair and clothes.

Her aspiration is: Mansion Baron (Was Big Happy Family to start with)
Her Traits are: Foodie, Outgoing and Creative.

I moved her into Willow Creek onto the Daisy Hovel lot and bulldozed the house and then took away all her money and changed her aspiration.

Playing with zero money and no house has been a challenge to say the least, she spent most of her time at the park so she could use the toilets, nap on the bench, eat hot dogs made by a random sim and rummage through the bins.

I managed to harvest some Bluebells, Snapdragons and Roses as well as Strawberries and Mushrooms and when I took her home I planted two rose buses and one of the others and sold the rest of the flowers so that I could buy the bush for her to sleep in and use as a toilet.

The next morning I foraged around the neighbourhood and got more food to eat and flowers to sell as well as some frogs, fossils and time capsules. I breed the frogs and then sold the one I had made as it was a duplicate and I sold the fossils and the MySims Trophies from the time capsules and got enough money to buy a "Come and Get it Street Store" which I then used to sell more items over the next few sim days so I could get a fire pit and chair and put my fishing skill to use.
