Rags to Raise them Right Challenge

 Notes: I looked forever and could not find this challenge anymore anywhere until someone finds the original one I'm taking what I can find and trying to make it from scratch. I want to say thank you to some youtubers and a Site that I was able to pull some stuff off of to use and/or piece together in this challenge. I'm guessing it was a short challenge much like the runaway teen

I have all the packs so some of the rules might not go with just the base game. and you must at least have parenthood. but if you don't you can always change it to fit whatever you have.

I Just Want To Say:
You can choose to have more then one kid and to even have a boyfriend/husband. or even more then one.
You can also choose to use any mods you want. I have quite a few that makes my game more realistic and I get child support.
I fully believe this challenge can be played anyway you want and see fit to play it. think of most of these as just guidelines to help with the gameplay and challenge of it. but you can make it as hard or easy as you want. its my first time doing any of this for a challenge so I'm sorry if its not the best format. or the wording/Stages are wierd... i kind of just had to make most of it as I went. if anyone has any input or would change something then let me know and I can adjust as needed. I just wanted to bring this back for ppl to have fun with :)
I tried to take inspiration from the Rags to Riches Challenge, Runaway Teen/BigSister Challenge, and a lil from 100 baby challenge.
Sources:
1. Miss Unfortunate & NashiSims - Was able to get a glimpse of the old rules whenever they showed them. or mentioned them. also got the idea of the 100 baby challenge to be implemented in this from Miss Unfortunate Both Challenges where fun to watch. sorry to any other Youtuber who may have played this. these where the only two I could find.
2. The Creators of Rags to Riches, Runaway Teen/BigSister, 100 baby Challenges for inspiration
3. Sims Community - where I was able to get the Prelude from
**Prelude Notes: If not a young adult or you want to just change this to match your story go ahead. its just what I could find**

Prelude: (Young Adult)
Your sim is new to town, and didn’t really have the money to fund herself. A kindly male sim took her in, and gave her a bed and food. The two started to get close, and things took a turn for the worst. The two “lovebirds” were caught by the supposedly single sims girlfriend, was kicked out with no money, and, to top it all off, recently found out she was pregnant. Now, with only a plot of land to her name, she must work to provide a loving home for her child and “raise them right”.
Start:
**If Young Adult**
- You make a female Young Adult.
- Traits are whatever you want
- Aspiration can be whatever you want. BUT you must at least complete a family one for the challenge. (Ex: Big Happy Family, Successful Lineage, or Super Parent. I recommend super parent if you have the pack for it.)
- You purchase a property doesn't matter the size. (Bigger is more a challenge though)
- You get pregnant.
- Set your money to 0 whether you use a mod or whatever doesn't matter no money for you honey lol
- when it comes to aging up. you can either follow the rules from 100 Baby challenge and max out all the skills before aging up for a harder challenge. Or you can at least get all skills to 3 and wait for the Birthday
- You can choose to do odd jobs, or live off the land, or get a job, depending on what packs you have
**If teen**
(if you've chosen the teen life, you must move out after having the child. If you want to do so earlier due to story, that is ok too. You can Choose to bring 500 or a 1000 in cash with you from either your parents, baby daddy, etc.) I'm allowing this due to the teen having school so it will help a lil. if you want it to be a really hard challenge. then continue without the 500 or 1000

- You can choose to live with parents or whoever until the baby arrives
- Once moved out, purchase a property, can be any size. But a bigger lot would give more of a challenge.
- Set your money to 0 whether you use a mod or whatever doesn't matter no money for you honey lol (If you chose to take the money then add 500
or 1000)
- when it comes to aging up. you can either follow the rules from 100 Baby challenge and max out all the skills before aging up for a harder challenge. Or you can at least get all skills to 3 and wait for the Birthday
- You can choose to do odd jobs, or live off the land, or get a job, depending on what packs you have
**The challenge fully begins....**
**Only way to loose the Challenge is if you or your child dies. the Child gets taken away. or you don't fully complete any of the stages**
You now have a lot of responsibility on your hands.
More then most new mothers do.
You bought/found a space to hopefully make a home. or one you can try and build to call home...
Great job! :)
But sadly its not enough...
