Hi everyone! I thought it would be fun to recreate some families of my favourite sims 3 contest. I had so much fun with that contest. The original contest can be found here.
The sims 4 is different than the sims 3 so I had to adjust it a bit. Here I'll write down the rules, and later on I'll post pictures of my familes.
This is NOT a contest, this is just for fun (for me, but feel free to use it for a challenge)

Rules
1. Sims in each family are to be created with required traits and aspirations
2. Missing traits for children as they grow are to be a roll of the die if you are given the opportunity to choose them
3. All adult traits a were created like so to make it much easier to complete lifetime wishes in this time-frame with having to build, create and play. I will leave it up to creators/players to swap out just one trait each on adults for a roll of the die only, no choosing yourselves.
4. Each family will have a required lot size that must be adhered to. (or required lot/placement).
5. All family names are up to you as are your lot names
6. Now you can have more children (besides the required ones above) ingame if you wish to add to your gameplay and family story, but remember that all above family requirements must be your main focus to complete this contest.

Family 2: Cops vs Robbers
Mom dreams of becoming an Double Diamond Agent (Secret Agent - Diamond Agent career lever 10)...traits are Genius, Self-assured, Family-Oriented. Aspiration is up to you.
Dad wishes to Become The Boss or The Orical: (Criminal Career).....traits are Genius, Kleptomaniac and for the 3rd trait you can choose between either Mean, Evil or Insane. Aspiration is Deviance (you can choose between Public Enemy and Chie of Misschief).
set of 8 year old triplet daughters, 1 with insane trait & Motor Aspiration, 1 with Geek trait and Mental Aspiration, 1 with Gloomy Trait and Creativity Aspiration. The gloomy daughter hates being outdoors.
House requirements: You are to use xxx lot size 40x30 and transform this into a whole new build. You must keep the skull of the ground floor (meaning all exterior walls are to be left as is on the ground floor). You have the freedom to change all interior walls and even raise it up onto a foundation as long as it is exact to grid as now. You can go up, up to 2 more stories. and yes the floor plan can be different on upper floors, so no need to follow first floor wall grid. You can redo the upper floors as you like including knocking them totally down and starting from scratch if that is what you wish.
This lot needs to be at least a 2 bedroom, but preferably 3 to 4 is best (I mean with a klepto in the house, things can accumulate rather quick :P ) You must add a basement (again with or without a foundation and any size), a playroom for the triplets (remember one of these tykes hates the outdoors) ,you could get creative by building a several story atrium type playroom which could allow for the treehouse, sandbox and such indoors but completely enclosed. A skylight would work fine as long as it passes for indoors.
You have the freedom to change all windows, doors, garage doors, stairs (including moving them all to new locations to suit) and roof (type & pattern) as well as all decking, pool and whatever as far as the yard goes. I want to see some off the charts varied inspiration going on here so there are no 2 houses alike in the end. You are also allowed to leave the build as is and redecorate it inside and out to suit the family, your choice, but it must not be recognizable as the old lot when redone. Just remember to have fun and focus on matching things to the family as that is what this contest is most about.

Mom wishes to be a Business Tycoon or Angel Investor (level 10 Business career)....traits: Ambitious, Materialistic, Outgoing. She has got a Social Aspiration.
Dad wants to be surrounded by family. This must be accomplised in 2 to 3 pregnancies....ie...2 sets of twins and a single or 1 set each of triplets and twins.....Traits: Family-Oriented, Childish and Cheerful. Aspiration is Big Happy Family (aspiration must be fullfilled).
Holiday themed (Thanksgiving (I know many don't celebrate this in their country so make it a fall meal of thanks where your family comes together for a turkey feast), christmas, kwanza/hannukah) portrayed how you celebrate with your own
family, as well as new years. This will go from spring season into winter (longer if you continue, your choice) This time I want the lot built in New Crest on either a 20x30, or 30x30 or 40x30 (no smaller, no bigger).
House requirements: House must be at least a 4 bedroom (or 3bdrm with M-I-L apartment attached), 2 or more bathrooms and all other normal rooms, a daycare center (and be creative here), with girl/boy bathrooms ,an office and a kitchenette as well as a closed in playground. You must fill empty spaces (no I don't mean crowd or make things unroutable) rather to not build bigger than you
need so that it looks like a real home that is lived in.
You all seriously need to dig deep into your creative thoughts and come up with something totally new in style. Break out of your typical comfort zones and go where you never dreamed possible. Again you can use any type of sim. I originally wanted a fantasy feel to this but decided magical covers a wider arena, so if you wanted say, a prince and princess in a castle, I say go for it. pull out all the stops, get imaginative....even a treehouse full of fairies falls into magical as well as a steampunk home with simbots, as long as everything fits together, the sky is the limit as we want this to be magical not dark.
Your home must fit your choice of family in all facets (ie....type of sim, career), as well as their traits. Everything ,all your choices must fit together with the traits; family, home, signs, colors, careers, & LTW's.
