Yet Another Bachelor(ette) Challenge

Here’s my formula for Bachelor Challenge. I tested it for Base Game and used only a few popular mods.

🏆Goal:

Find “the one” in just seven days! Get to know the contestants while living in a luxurious mansion — and if you succeed, the mansion is yours.

🏠 Set-Up:

• Mansion: Contestants sleep in shared bedrooms, while the Bachelor has a private, locked room.
• Pro Tip: If beds aren’t assigned, Sims will take naps instead of going to bed, leading to constant exhaustion.
• Household: A diverse cast makes the challenge more entertaining! The Random Maxis Sim (lightbulb icon at the bottom of the screen) is a great choice.
• Chores: Either buy a buffet table or hire a butler for daily meals. Personally, I find Ravasheen’s buffet works best.
• Social Spots: A gym, pool, and bar are fantastic spaces for Sims to mingle.

📜 Rules:

Send your Bachelor on a date with each contestant daily, except the first onboarding day. The winner is chosen based on the best date (totally subjective!).

⏳ Requirements:

• Each day from 9 AM to 9 PM, you control one contestant. Keep them happy, impress the Bachelor, and plan a fantastic date.
• From 9 PM to 9 AM, you control the Bachelor, making sure they stay healthy and content.
• No forcing social interactions! Let the Bachelor decide how much they engage with contestants.
• Romantic interactions aren’t required — but where’s the fun in that?

🏅 Victory:

Once you have a winner, gather the whole household in an open space and initiate a romantic interaction with a winner in front of everyone. Jealousy will spark hilarious reactions and reset the romance bar for all other contestants.

🎉 Congratulations! Now, move out the losers and live happily ever after with your chosen Sim.

🎭 Tips for a Fun Experience:

• Disable romance-focused mods to keep attraction consistent and prevent contestants from falling out of the competition.
• Make dates personalized! Example:
• An active sim can train the Bachelor at the gym and make them a protein shake afterward.
• An artsy sim can paint a portrait and gift it to the Bachelor.
• An outdoorsy sim can fish and grill the catch later.
• Avoid romantic aura objects — otherwise, sims might randomly flirt, get embarrassed, and end up hiding under blankets or talking to mirrors.
• Keep stereos out of bedrooms! Without the Automatic Stereo Mod, stereos will be on forever. As a result, sims won’t sleep if music is playing.
• Watch whims carefully — contestants might develop feelings for each other or dislike certain date ideas.

🔧 Recommended Mods:

The Sims 4 can get laggy! Use testingcheats on to reset animations (and free Sims trapped in fishing frenzies). For an immersive but not overwhelming experience, download:

• MCCC
• Have Some Personality Please
• Meaningful Stories

And if you don’t own Lovestruck, install Remove Sims from Conversations to prevent nosy Crumplebottom wannabes from ruining your date.

🎮 Happy Simming!
