Off-the-Grid Tycoon

📖 The story

No power lines. No water mains. No safety net. Your Sim is going to get genuinely, mansion-and-all rich — while every drop of water is hauled and every watt is caught from the sun. Comfort here isn't bought; it's engineered.

💝 The goal

Reach **§150,000** on a permanently off-the-grid lot.

🎀 Packs required

Packs recommended

🏡 Setup

🚀 Getting started

• Create one self-reliant Sim. Move onto a lot and apply the **Off-the-Grid** lot trait in build mode:
• In Build Mode → Lot Traits → add **Off-the-Grid**

⌨️ Cheats to type

📋 General rules

• No money cheats after the §1,000 start.
• Income earned by your household only.
• No gifts or transfers.

✨ Specific rules

• The lot stays Off-the-Grid for the entire challenge.
• Power comes only from solar panels, generators you build, or candles; water from wells, dew collectors and rain.
• Wealth may come from any honest source, but all comfort must be self-generated.

✅ What you can do

• Use solar panels, dew collectors, candles, fireplaces and wells for power and water.
• Earn from any self-employment.
• Use `bb.moveobjects`.

⛔ What you can't do

• The Off-the-Grid lot trait stays on for the entire challenge — never remove it.
• No connecting to power, water or city services.
• No money cheats.

🎮 If you don't own the packs

The Off-the-Grid lot trait is free/base-game. Without Eco Lifestyle, Island Living or Cottage Living you rely on base-game candles, fireplaces, fishing and gardening; the pack power-generators are optional comforts.

💡 Strategy tips

• Solar panels and the *Eco Lifestyle* dew collectors pay for themselves fast — prioritise them over décor early.
• Wood-fired stoves and fireplaces cover cooking and warmth without the grid.
• Gardening and a fishing pond make food free, freeing your income entirely for the wealth goal.

💕 Milestones — track your progress

🔥 Want it harder?

• Reach the target without buying a single power-generating object — only found or crafted solutions.
• Combine with Off-the-Grid *and* a §0 start.

🏆 Scoring

Reach the target while keeping your lot's eco-footprint *green* the whole way for a perfect run.

🎭 Variations

Set it on a remote Sulani or Henford lot for a homestead flavour, or run it as an off-grid family. ---
