Rags to Riches Challenge (Revised) - Sims 3

Created by HedvigsUnicorn & Revised by Simphora

Hey guys! A while ago, I told myself that I wouldnโ€™t attempt to do another challenge until I completed the Sweet & Sour Legacy Challenge, but I lied. As of lately, I have been in the mood to do the Sims 3 Rags to Riches Challenge, but I noticed that it was a lilโ€™ outdated. Sooo, I decided to add and change some of the rules to the Rags to Riches Challenge because I wanted to enhance and toughen the gameplay.

Disclaimer: I did not create the Rags to Riches Challenge. It was created by HedvigsUnicorn. I only revised it.

If youโ€™re interested in doing this challenge, please feel free to tag me: @simphoraa or #ragstorichesrevised. I would love to see your progress and gameplay!

S T O R Y L I N E:

Youโ€™ll start with a blank slateโ€”a single Sim with zero Simoleons. Your Sim has been dealt a rough hand in life and is now starting from the absolute bottom of society. They have nothing, but a will to survive and succeed. Will your Sim rise to the challenge? Or, will the weight of their past keep them from reaching the heights they dream of?

The choice is yoursโ€”but one thing is certain: success will come at a cost.

T H E U L T I M A T E G O A L:

In this challenge, you struggle your way from homelessness to a rich life! The goal of this challenge is to earn ยง100,000 in household funds, and fulfill your Sims Lifetime Wish.

R U L E S:
  • Create a Sim or select a Sim from a household. The Sim can be female or male, but they must be a Young Adult. 
  • Style your Sim in a worn-out look to reflect a more rugged, carefree style.
  • Give your Sim the traits of your own choice, but you need to give them the โ€˜Living in the Lap of Luxuryโ€™ Lifetime Wish.
  • Have your Sim move into an EMPTY LOT of any size, and then build/upgrade your Sims house as you progress in earning Simoleons (Remember: your Sim has to live on the same lot the entire time, they cannot move until their Lifetime Wish is completed).
  • Change the household funds to ยง0. (Open the cheat window (CTRL, Shift, C), and type in "familyfunds ________ 0". Replace the lines with the last name of your Sim). 
  • Visit friends houses or community lots for your Sims needs, if needed.
  • Relationships and marriages are allowed, but your Sims partner or spouse must be unemployed. And if they move in, deduct ALL of the Simoleons that your partner or spouse brings in.
  • Lifetime points can be used, but you cannot use inheritance or the Dusty Old Lamp.
  • No public transportation (ex: taxis and subways).
  • No engaging in real estate or growing money trees.
  • No purchasing any lottery tickets or traveling to the future to cheat the lottery.
  • Once your Sim has earned at least ยง10,000 in household funds, they are allowed to travel to other worlds.
  • Do NOT get a part-time/full-time job or profession. It will defeat the purpose of the challenge.
  • Do NOT use any money cheat codes (ex: motherload, kaching, or rosebud).
U S E F U L W A Y S O N E A R N I N G S I M O L E O N S:
  • Collecting (ex: flowers, gemstones, rocks, seeds, insects, etc)
  • Crafting
  • Creating potions
  • Dumpster diving
  • Fishing
  • Gambling
  • Gardening
  • Inventing
  • Moonlighting
  • Martial Arts
  • Photography
  • Playing an instrument for tips
  • Sculpting
  • Social Networking
  • Stealing
  • Training a pet to hunt
  • Treasure hunting
  • Writing

If you have made it to the end of this challenge, I would like to thank you for participating. And, let me know what you think!

Heyyy, I love your aesthetic and pretty much got all your cc, I saw your post about hiding patters and I most sims 3 patters so that's nice, but I wonder where to find some "essencial" ones since I dont want too many lol, any ideas?

Thank you <3

I'm not sure whether you mean cc patterns, or identifying EA patterns.

If the former my favorite pattern maker is @simlicious!

If you mean the latter, part of why I made it the way I did is I didn't feel like trying to figure out which was what so I just hid everything aside from the solid pattern. ๐Ÿ˜† @sweetdevil-sims has a tutorial on how to hide patterns here, and how to identify which pattern is which here.

TS4 Life & Death to TS3 Part 1

I have converted part 1 of TS4 Life & Death including 92 items. I have added 1 poster & 3 rugs that were converted by @bioniczombie here & here to my collection file so they should show up in there if you grab those. I took full advantage of the beloved CAST tool (Create A Style) on most objects which you can view some of the channels above. Some items like the Ravenwood's Pride Tarot Prints have overlays so I recommend using CAST to look through objects! I kept the pricing from TS4. Please advise me of any issues. Thank you and enjoy. ๐Ÿ˜‡
  • Compressed. Merged or Unmerged packages to pick & choose from. Note: This is a BIG pack.
  • Collection file included. Drop in: Documents\Electronic Arts\ The Sims 3\Collections.
  • Ravenwood Nights Bar (Professional Bar) & The Tell-Tale Bar by Tell-Tale Arts (Professional Bar) require Late Night and you need granthes - Multiple Wick Candle Script mod for the Tessellated Candles to function otherwise it's just deco.
  • I recommend using Lazy Duchess's Catalog Search Mod using "Life & Death" and Omedapixel Sims Decorator Tools.
  • Download: Mega

Objects & details included below:

Question: Are my conversions too light or tiling too small? I've been looking at others in my game and they don't match because mine is too light and then I also check EA made objects with the same color and they're way more darker than my conversions. I'm starting to get the urge to purge all of what I've done and starting over but at the same time I don't have the patience to start over...

I am reblogging as what I want to share is kinda long. I hope that's okay ๐Ÿ˜…

While I can't speak on whether or not they are (I haven't had as much time to play as I'd like) maybe these could help?

I believe @deniisu-sims taught me this on the creators discord @ts3creatorscave. How I have started to make sure multipliers are the "right" shade in photoshop (gimp or other programs might have something similar but I don't use them) is I copy part of the texture and paste it into a new tab. If you go to filter>blur>average then use the eyedropper tool, you can see how close it is to RGB 128/128/128. With EA swatches that are "unrecolorable", I make the pattern solid grey 128/128/128.

You also don't need to recreate objects to edit them. Aside from using s3pe, you can also use TSRW and pull objects in to quickly edit them. I made a tutorial here. It doesn't seem to work with cas, and maybe not build items (I haven't tested all types).

BEAUTIFUL PERSON AWARD! Once you are given this award you're supposed to paste it in the asks of 8 people who deserve it. If you break the chain nothing happens, but it's sweet to know someone thinks you're beautiful inside and out ๐Ÿ’œ
