BLACK WIDOW CHaLLENGE



Welcome to the "BLACK WIDOW CHALLENGE"one of the best Sims 4 challenges out there.

[CREDIT MUST BE GIVEN: ..... A link directly to this challenge ( which should begin with: http://sims4challengesrules.blogspot.com ) must be displayed on any page you post this... even in a Youtube description. (since I have reformatted, tweaked, added Difficulty Levels to this challenge, + changed/added the point system, etc., thereby creating this new version of the Challenge).]

SETTING UP:


(A Quick Note About Gender Preferences For This Challenge: Yes, of course, you can play this challenge as any gender you choose to, and by the same token, you can also marry any gender you choose, so please change anything referring to man, male, he, or him... to woman, female, she, or her (and vice versa) according to your preference of how you want to play this challenge.  The rules should still make perfect sense (for anybody wondering). Good luck with this challenge.




  • Life span must be set to normal.  Start off with one Young Adult Sim. Give her the following 3 traits... materialistic, snob, and romantic.  The aspiration has to be "Love" with a sub-category being The Serial Romantic.  Move her into a lot/house and get her settled. NO Money cheats allowed!!!








  •  Meet a Sim and build your relationship until you can get married (All marriage should have a formal party, it's not a requirement though... it just add to the realism.)








  • Have a Dinner party to show you're the perfect wife. (The Dinner party must at least reach a rating of "silver".)







  • After the party, find a new romantic interest, and...







  • move them in.






  • Then, get caught cheating (ie. make sure your current hubby is very close/near-by, while getting "Romantic" with the new guy.)






  • Kill off the Husband, marry again (to the new guy) + inscribe the tombstone with: {his name} “Died by Black Widow”






  • Repeat this over again until you have 10 graves or more / 10 of  them have died. Simple Right? maybe ....maybe not.






  • Simply do so while following the "Rules" seen below.








    • Hold on, before you start thinking its impossible... It"s not.  I want you to know it's not easy,  it's a Challenge... so it's not supposed to be. Also, I've created different difficulty levels, so you can definitely beat this challenge (on Novice, Normal, Specialist, or Legendary. Just choose a difficulty level at the bottom of page --- or just use the Normal rules (seen just below).
       
      ********************************* BLACK WIDOW CHALLENGE  THE RULES:   *********************************

    1st Option:   You can choose to move into your husbands' houses. Keep all tombstones on the lot. You may even want to build an urn room.

    Remember, a "haunted house", in effect, is formed as you accumulate all the tombstones on your lot.

    OR   

    2nd Option:   Don't move into your husbands' houses. I really don't see why it would matter much to stay in just one house.  NOTE: Please remember to keep track of all the killings, when using the 2nd option, because counting the tombstones at any time wouldn't be possible any more.

    ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
    AFTER CHOOSING AN OPTION, 
    FOLLOW THE LIST OF RULES BELOW
    ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
        • Life-span must be set to normal
        • Stop aging on all households, except yours.
        • No mods or cheats.
        • Absolutely NO Money cheats allowed!!!
        • You may use the resetSim  cheat if your Sim gets "stuck" in an interaction or somewhere around town
        • You can have as many love interests at the same time as you wish
        • Having Kids is your own choice, but you can earn extra points (seen below) by having them
        • The Black Widow may not have a job, all money must be earned by the men she targets.(exception: She is allowed to earn money by selling collectables that she finds... but only before she's married. )
        • Only marry single men.  However, If you want to marry a married man, the only way allowed is to simply click on a household, and delete all other household members except for him. This is because of a glitch that makes it so that money will not transfer with a sim to your house if they previously had a family in their house (If a patch changes this, then you are allowed to ignore this rule).
        • During the killing, don't leave the lot if you're choosing to kill by confining person to room etc. (leaving somehow allows them to escape) maybe a patch will eventually fix this.
        • No repairing items, only the replacements of broken items are allowed
        • Must max out Cooking skill
        • Must max out Charisma skill 


    VERY IMPORTANT: As New Expansion Packs, Updates, Etc. Are Released, These Rules May Make Less Sense Due To The Changes, Additions, Or Subtractions Made To The Game. Due To This Fact, You'll Need To Rely More And More On Common Sense To Help Guide What Should And Shouldn't Be Allowed or Not Allowed In This Challenge In Order To Keep In Line With The General Spirit Of The Challenge.



    *********************************

    FINISHING THE CHALLENGE (Goals):

    The challenge is completed (on "Normal Difficulty Level) when:

    Thanks I was looking for a fun challenge like this

    DecorateCheapskate.com said...

    How do I kill off the husband?

    DecorateCheapskate.com said...

    Hi,

    There are many ways to kill Sims, but it would be boring if everyone used the same one. This challenge was originally created (in Sims 2, by another Simmer), with the idea of getting creative with it. Yes, I know, killing Sims is a little more difficult in Sims 4 compared to Sims 3, but there are still many ways.

    It's really up to the challenge player to figure them out.

    ( Hint - Starving your Sim still works. )

    Good luck with the challenge.

    Just started the challenge and I love it!
    Here's a question...... Can you manage the households to have a easier time finding men?

    DecorateCheapskate.com said...

    Hi,

    I'm not sure of exactly what you mean.

    Please clarify what you mean by "manage the households". For example, do you mean other Sim's households?

    Alexis said...

    Gonna try the challenge! If you like watching the videos I suggest Koffe.

    DecorateCheapskate.com said...

    Thanks, I really appreciate it. Good luck with the challenge.

    Anonymous said...

    Hi!! This challenge is great so far! My question is, are you allowed to marry the "romantic intrest"??

    DecorateCheapskate.com said...

    Well..., Step #1, under "Setting Up" (at the very top of the page) says "Meet a Sim and build your relationship until you can get married".

    Then Step #4, under "Setting Up" says "Kill off the "Husband" and marry again".


    If I didn't understand your question correctly, please let me know.

    Unknown said...

    Amazing me and my godbrother are doing a double chalenge vid check i tout soon on ACE Gaming!!!

    DecorateCheapskate.com said...

    Thanks, let me know when you do, so I can check it out.

    BookNerdSasa said...

    Hi, I just recently know about these challenges in Sims 4 so I want to try out this one first! They seems to be fun a lot! So, do i need to record the game i played n post it or what? sorry, i am still new to this...

    DecorateCheapskate.com said...

    Hi, I definitely appreciate you trying this challenge first. I honestly think you picked one of the best challenge.

    No, it's not necessary to record your game at all (for example on a video, with images, or even a story following your game play ... not necessary).

    However, it would be a good idea to keep track of your challenge progress (writing it down as you go)...points wise . And when you're done, please place it into a new comment, below, where everyone that visits this page will appreciate it.

    ~~ Important ~~

    If you do decide to post the points, please make sure you also include which difficulty level you achieved (ie. Novice, Normal, Specialist, or Legendary ).

    You can find out exactly how to score points in the last 3 topics of the rules above: "DIFFICULTY LEVELS", "SCORING", and "ADVANCED LEVEL SCORING".

    If you have more questions, please ask.

    Good luck with the challenge.

    Unknown said...

    Are you only allowed to marry male sims or are you allowed to marry sims of the same sex too?

    DecorateCheapskate.com said...

    Hi. Thank you for asking this question (I'll even add the answer in the challenge for clarity to everyone who may be wondering about this also). Of course you can marry whichever sex you prefer. With the rules, simply change (in your mind) anything referring to male, man, or him... to female, woman, or she, according to your preference, and you're all set. The rules should still make sense.

    Good luck with the challenge.

    Porcelain Infinity said...

    I started it. Can we cheat our musical instrument skills?

    DecorateCheapskate.com said...

    Hi,

    Sorry, but the rule to this particular challenge, stating "No mods or cheats allowed" is that way because it really does help this challenge work properly. So I have to recommend that you not cheat the musical instrument skills.

    Thanks for playing,
    Enjoy the rest of the challenge

    Looks fun! :D

    Unknown said...

    Do you have to marry sims who live in the houses around the neighborhood?

    DecorateCheapskate.com said...

    No.

    Unknown said...

    Just one more question, it says you have to move in the next love interest and get caught cheating. Will you still get the next husband's money if he moves in with you? I think this challenge is awesome by the way.

    DecorateCheapskate.com said...

    Yes, their money should transfer to your household when they move in.

    Just remember the following rule (below) and please don't hesitate to ask questions as needed. I really do want people to have fun paying these challenges and I really don't want misunderstanding any part of these challenges to get in the way.

    Thank you for giving this one a try, and please try the rest of my challenges (upper right side) when you're done with this one.

    Rule:

    --> Only marry single men/women. If you want to marry a married man/woman, the only way allowed is to simply click on a household, and delete all other household members except for him/her. This is because of a glitch that makes it so that money will not transfer with a Sim to your house if they previously had a family in their house (If a patch changes this, then you are allowed to ignore this rule).

    Unknown said...

    What is command to stop aging outside of the household? I'm sorry I'm quite new to sims 4. This challenge looks awesome btw :)

    DecorateCheapskate.com said...

    Hi,

    Sorry I took so long to answer. Simply turn "story progression" and "aging" off in the game settings. That should stop it.

    Thanks for playing,
    Enjoy the rest of the challenge

    Can you move into your husbands house and can you add a sims to town to marry?

    DecorateCheapskate.com said...

    Hi,

    A "haunted house", in effect, is formed as you accumulate all the tombstones on your lot, but other than that, I really don't see why it would matter much to stay in just one house.

    A) So yes, you can move into your husbands houses if you want to.

    B) Yes can you add Sims to your town to marry if you want to.


    I think both of these changes may even add to the fun of the challenge.

    Thanks for asking,
    Enjoy the rest of the challenge

    Ps. I adjusted the tombstone rule above to reflect this.

    EmoKitty21 said...

    Is it ok to kill off the Goths if I was married to one of them? I know I had to kill Bella that is who I was married to, but I thought it would make a nice story arc if both of them died together.

    DecorateCheapskate.com said...

    Hi Tyler,

    Sorry to say it, but I really don't see why not.
    That's completely up to you.

    Thanks for asking,
    Enjoy the rest of the challenge

    Jennifer Varela said...

    can i use a potion to be the same age once again ?

    DecorateCheapskate.com said...

    Hi Jennifer,

    Sorry, but the whole "challenge" of this challenge is completing everything before dying or sooner (depending on the difficulty level).

    So not tinkering with your Sims age is very important... or it just doesn't work properly.

    Thanks for asking,
    Enjoy the rest of the challenge
