This challenge involves building a small working crop farm and living off of the profits.
Start with 1 or 2 Sims. Choose the Freelance Botanist Aspiration. Loves Outdoors would be a good trait but you don't have to choose this. Make them look like farmers, and maybe even head over to MTS for this straw hat.
Move into a 15x20 lot and build/download a small farmhouse/ barn conversion to live in. You may not use any cheats to gain you money or skills. You can only build with what you have in the kitty.
Fence in your farm, and have an apple Orchard, or a banana farm, whatever you choose. You can have a flower farm, vegetable & fruit or herb garden. You can mix and match but make it look realistic rather than one of everything. Cowplants to be grown at your own risk!
You may not get a job or earn money in any way other than your farm. You cannot harvest from outside your lot. You can have decorative animals for show of course, until EA make our Farming dreams come true with an EP. Here are some lovely ones by Severinka. The website is in Russian, but if you’re using Chrome it will translate for you. You can find some great decor for your farm here. The farm itself is too big, but you could edit the lot as it's pretty awesome.
FAQ
Q. Can I use cheats?
A. You can cheat to remove your cash, Reset Sim etc. Nothing to add skills or money.
Q. What's the point of this Challenge?
A. To 'live off the land', as I love those type of challenges.
Extra side challenge:
No electricity on your Lot. This means no Refrigerator, Stove, Computer etc. You may have a barbeque or fire pit for cooking. Plumbing is fine; just go for a bath instead of an electric power shower!
