Sims 3 Centurion Challenge - World Building

The Centurion challenge is a take on the Decades challenge for The Sims 3. The added twist is that you get to choose the path your founder takes and this will impact the remaining nine generations. Beginning in the Early Modern era, will your sims live a life at Court, choose a simpler but less wealthy path, or avoid the status quo altogether? Enjoy all the game has to offer, probably with the use of a vast amount of CC or Store content too, as you move from one era to the next completing challenges and quests as you go.

For more information on setting up please see the Centurion homepage

World Building Edition

If you want an extra challenge, this edition is for you! Start with a completely empty world and earn points by achieving tasks that eventually allow you to populate your world and place lots. The rules are simple, start with no lots except your own legacy lot and don’t add anything to the world until you have the points to afford it.

Points can be earned cumulatively, let’s look at Resurrecting a Sim with Ambrosia as an example:
To cook Ambrosia you need level 10 Cooking skill, you also would need level 10 Fishing skill to catch a Death fish and level 10 Gardening skill to unlock and grow a Life Fruit. Factoring in the points for getting to level 5 first, then level 10 of each skill, if the fish you catch and the plant you grow are perfect, plus the points for resurrecting someone with the completed dish:
(3×10) + (3×20) + 25 + 25 + 75 = 215 points!

How to spend your points

Lots have been split into four categories with varying costs. Special lots refer to venues purchased on The Sims 3 Store as well as specific lots that you can add into the world once you have the allotted amount of points. Make sure to check the homepage of the Centurion challenge for the rules on which lots are permitted in each generation!
