๐Ÿ“– The story

The world is full of dabblers. Your Sim is not one of them. They pick a single skill โ€” just one โ€” and build their entire life, income and identity around being the best in the world at it. Depth, not breadth.

๐Ÿ’ The goal

Pick **one skill** and build an entire life and income around only it.

๐Ÿ“‹ General rules

  • Only the chosen skill is deliberately developed.
  • Income derives from that skill alone.
  • Other skills may rise only incidentally, never as a focus.

โœจ Specific rules

  • Max the chosen skill.
  • Build the Sim's career/income entirely on it.
  • The whole life is themed around the one skill.

โœ… What you can do

  • Build your whole life and income around a single chosen skill; use `bb.moveobjects`.

โ›” What you can't do

  • Income and identity come from that one skill only โ€” don't lean on others for money.
  • No skill cheats.

๐Ÿ’ก Strategy tips

  • Pick a skill with a clear income path (painting, writing, music, fishing) so "live off it" is viable.
  • Lean into the identity โ€” dรฉcor, wardrobe, social life all orbiting the one craft.
  • Push past mastery into *mastery-plus*: the highest-value outputs the skill can produce.
