Death Note Challenge
Hey everyone! This challenge is based off of the anime series Death Note. If you haven't watched it, I highly suggest you do, it's my favorite. :D
Before you begin, download the following!!
Desecrate's amazing
Death Note mod. Special thanks to Desecrate by the way! Without him this challenge wouldn't be possible
Setting up
After you install the mod above, enter the game. Start a new game in a populated town. Edit the "Options" so children and teens live significantly longer. Enter CAS, and make a child sim. Appearance is up to you, but they MUST have one of the following traits, and ONLY one (if for example, if s/he has the Good trait, they cannot have the Genius trait): Good, Evil, Genius. This will be the human who holds the Death Note. Then make a family for your sim - the bigger the family, the bigger the challenge. For now I suggest two parents and possibly a sibling or two. The family can have whatever appearance and traits.
Optional: Create one odd-looking sim, preferably a vampire or something that lives a long time. This is your sim's Shinigami, they must stay with the Death Note user at all times, and cannot interact with anyone other than the Death Note user. Basically they are invisible to everyone except the child.
Objective
The objective of the challenge is to grow up and continue on with life while hiding the fact that you own (and use) the Death Note. The way you use the Death Note is based on the sim's trait that you picked:
Good: Your sim becomes the next Kira and aims to kill all evildoers. You must go around befriending sims and see if they're in the Criminal career track, have the Evil trait, or do something such as rob your household (kill the burglar). If you do, you must write their name in the Death Note. (Note: If you choose this path, you may want to add more sims to the town that have the Evil trait, or are in the Criminal career, or download a mod to make burglars more frequent.)
Evil: Your sim wants to rain misery on the world. They want to rip up relationships, tear apart families, and get rid of good in the world. You must go around and find out which sims are close to each other, and kill their lover/family. You must also find out which sims are Good, and kill them as well. You also kill one other person every few days (and only one), just because you feel like it. (Like above, you may want to add more families with relations to the town, or add more Good sims)
Genius: Your sim is bored with life, and wants to use the Death Note to their own wants and desires. They mold the world to their own desires. If you make enemies with someone (which should happen often), they must die. Someone steal your food? Kill them. Your boss makes you mad? They must die! Your romantic interest already has someone? Kill their boy/girlfriend. Change the world to the way YOU want it!
The challenge ends when your sim reaches the Young Adult stage and can no longer use the Death Note, or you get caught.
Gameplay
When you first enter the game, shortly after opening a new game, the Death Note will be randomly placed in the world on a community lot. You must find it. You have 4 sim days to find the Death Note, which should be more than enough time. If you added a shinigami to your household, your sim cannot interact with them until you pick it up. If you really don't want to find it, wait 4 sim days and then buy it with buydebug.
Once you find it, your sim can start their goal and do whatever they wish with the Death Note (according to their trait). However, NOBODY can see you with the Death Note except for your shinigami. If they do, they must die - even if they're your own friends or family (except for babies and toddlers). If 3 sims die by seeing you write in the Death Note, the police get suspicious and you are caught, and it's game over. In addition to writing names in the Death Note, you must also the following for each life stage:
Child
Get an A+ in school
Reach at least level 3 in 2 different skills
Become at least Friends with someone
Write at least 7 names total in the Death Note
Optional: If you added a shinigami, become at least Friends with the shinigami
Teen
Get an A+ in school
Reach level 7 of one skill and level 6 of another
Become Best Friends with someone
Write at least 20 names total in the Death Note (the ones from your childhood count)
Optional: Get a part time job
Optional: Find a boy/girlfriend
Optional: If you added a shinigami, become at least Good or Best Friends with the shinigami
Rules
• You cannot cheat except to build your house - your parents must get jobs and earn money and such (basically play as you normally would, except with the changes of the Challenge)
• Regarding the shinigami, nobody can interact with it except for the Death Note user AFTER s/he picks up the Death Note. They cannot get a job, MUST follow the DN user around everywhere (on rabbit hole lots they must go with them or wait outside the lot), and you can use testingcheats to constantly raise their needs (only if you want to).
• No supernatural creatures (except the shinigami, if you add one) are allowed in the household.
• No life fruit, ambrosia, age freeze potion, or anything else that changes age are allowed to be consumed by ANY member of the family (except for the shinigami, since they are supposed to be immortal).
• For every sim you kill, you must keep their gravestone in your inventory (even your family).
• When your sim becomes a Young Adult, your shinigami must write your sim's name in their Death Note after 5 sim days, as is the contract when a human picks up a shinigami's Death Note. (Since shinigamis can't actually "use" the Death Note, you can just kill the sim). Since your sim neither goes to Heaven or Hell because they used the Death Note, they are doomed to haunt the home lot as a ghost forever. If your sim has had a child in those 5 sim days and they have one of the traits (Good, Evil, Genius), they can be cared for by the previous Death Note user's family and continue on the legacy with their Death Note. (However, if they do this, they too will need to die after reaching the Young Adult stage)
Well that was it! Hope you liked my challenge. I'm starting it now
Suggestions, feedback and pictures are always welcome! Happy killings!!
