Black Widow Challenge Mini-Series – Introduction

Hello Everyone!

I have been working on the Rosebud Challenge for a while now and I am much farther ahead in the gameplay than this blog is and I have been trying to catch everyone up to speed with my gameplay because lots of exciting things have happened. Because the blog is so behind, I decided to play a different save game so that I don’t get even farther ahead of whats going on. I decided to play a quick Black Widow Challenge while I played catch up and since the Luxury Party Stuff Pack just came out and it seemed like the perfect thing for a black widow. I was originally just playing for fun but this has really been very entertaining to be a part of so I decided to make a mini-series about my Black Widow.

Meet Odette Veuve Noire, her first name means wealth in french and her lastname is also french for black widow, her traits are snob, materialistic and romantic and her aspiration is Serial Romantic according to the challenge rules (below).

Black Widow Challenge Rules

This challenge was created by Sims 4 Challenge Rules and these rules are directly from the website.

SETTING UP: Life span must be set to normal. Start of with one Young Adult Sim. Give her the following 3 traits materialistic, snob, 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)
Have a Dinner party to show you’re the perfect wife. (It must at least be silver.)
After the party find a new romantic interest, move him in and get caught cheating.
Kill off the Husband and marry again + Inscribe the tombstone with: {his name} “Died by Black Widow”
Repeat this over again until you have 10 graves or more.

RULES:

Life-span must be set to normal
Stop aging on all households, except yours.
No mods or cheats allowed.
Absolutely NO Money cheats allowed!!!
Keep all tombstones on lot. (You may want to build a urn room)
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
You can have as many love interests at the same time as you wish
Having Kids is your own choice (but you can score 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. 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 make 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).
