๐Ÿ“– The story

Be honest โ€” there are features in your library you've literally never touched. This challenge fixes that. Every session, you must use a mechanic from a pack you've never actually played, until your whole collection has finally been used at least once.

๐Ÿ’ The goal

Make **every session use a mechanic you've never actually touched**, until your whole library has been used.

๐ŸŽ€ Packs required

โœ“ Base game only

Packs recommended

None

๐Ÿก Setup

LotAny household
FundsWhatever you have
AgingOn, normal
SimsAny Sim or household

๐Ÿš€ Getting started

  • List the features you've never used, and commit to trying one each session.

๐Ÿ“‹ General rules

  • Each session features at least one never-before-used mechanic.
  • The mechanic must be genuinely engaged with, not glanced at.
  • Continue until your unused-features list is empty.

โœจ Specific rules

  • Make a list of mechanics you've never tried.
  • Cross one off per session by actually using it.
  • No repeating until the list is exhausted.

โœ… What you can do

  • Each session must use a mechanic you've never actually touched; keep a checklist; use `bb.moveobjects`.

โ›” What you can't do

  • No repeating a mechanic until every one has been used.
  • Genuinely engage each mechanic โ€” no token use.

๐ŸŽฏ Objectives โ€” complete the checklist

๐ŸŽฎ If you don't own the packs

Works with base-game systems too โ€” start with the skills, careers and collections you've always ignored.

๐Ÿ’ก Strategy tips

  • Audit your packs honestly โ€” most players are surprised how many features they've ignored.
  • Build a Sim whose life can plausibly touch many systems, so new mechanics fit naturally.
  • Keep the list visible; ticking it off is half the satisfaction.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Want it harder?

  • Use a new mechanic *every in-game day*, not just every session.
  • Build a whole Sim's life story out of the features you'd avoided.
