I am starting a new Build-a-City-Challenge, starting off in Strangerville with a Pueblo architecture aesthetic.
I rolled a 6 for the number of additional sims to start with, so here is the rough plan I came up with for how I would allot my sims into households based on their aspirations.
| HH1 | HH2 | HH3 | HH4 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nerd Brain | Painter Extraordinaire | Freelance Botanist | Bestselling Author |
| Party Animal | Master Chef | Bodybuilder |
Nerd Brain
This sim will be responsible for turning on electricity & water by maximizing their handiness skill. They will also be responsible for enabling contraception by maximizing logic.
Electricity is the top priority, which is why this is first.
They will also be responsible for creating the 5 excellent sculptures needed for the museum.
Later, they will travel to Sixam in order to unlock travel to Batuu.
Painter Extraordinaire
This sim will be responsible for creating the 10 masterpiece paintings needed for the museum. Doing this will inevitably make them very rich, so they are paired with the Party Animal in order to fund their lifestyle.
Later, by completing their aspiration, this sim will unlock spellcasters and Glimmerbrook.
Party Animal
This sim will host 4 of the 5 parties necessary for unlocking townies. The 5th will be a wedding, so as I play I will need to decide who to pair up.
Later, they will enable nightclubs by maximizing DJ and dancing skills.
Freelance Botanist
This sim will be responsible for maximizing gardening skill in order to enable the Park lot type. They will also be responsible for forming a complete collection of plants, mostly just because I am a little obsessed with collecting.
Later, they will open a fine foods grocery with all of the produce they have perfected.
Master Chef
This sim will be responsible for maximizing baking in order to enable the café lot type. They will also need to maximize gourmet cooking in order to enable the chef branch of the culinary career.
They will eventually unlock multiple things with a variety of cooking skills. When the fine foods store opens, they will contribute cooked meals to the variety of products on offer.
Bestselling Author
This sim will need to maximize their writing skill in order to enable libraries. They will become quite wealthy in the process.
Later, they will become a professor in order to enable university study.
Bodybuilder
This sim will need to maximize their fitness skill in order to enable gyms.
Later, they will unlock the spa venue by maximizing their wellness skill.
