The Truman Show Challenge
by Hurley Gamer
OBJECTIVE
You must play the Sims 4 as if being the producer of a 24/7/365 reality show named "The Truman Show".
The Truman Show is a movie starring Jim Carey in which he is the center focal point of a reality
show that he thinks is actually reality. Truman has no idea that he is being filmed his entire life
starting at birth. He grows up inside a fake world built to convince him that he is in the real world.
He grows up, goes to school, graduates, gets a job, gets married, has friends, has dreams, and has
ambitions all the time he is completely trapped in a giant movie studio dome built to trick him. This
sounds like The Sims to me!
SETTING UP YOUR GAME
You may have any mods installed before starting EXCEPT any mods that make the game easier.
ie. any mods that make skills level up faster. Also no mods that change the lifespan and aging
of your sims.
Start a new game.
In CAS, make two adults. One male and one female. They will be young adults. They MUST have the family
oriented trait. These two will be Truman's Parents. They can look however you like as long as they have
NO MODERN CLOTHES. Try to keep them looking like they belong in the year 1975. They can have any names
you like but its prefered if they have the same names as they do in the movie.
Next, make a male baby. Give him any trait that might make him adventerous or ambitious later on in the
game.
Dont forget the edit the relationships before exiting CAS.
Next pick a lot to move into. You may use cheats to give your family 50,000 simonlans ONLY. Use this
50,000 to build a 70's style home. NO moddern gadgets like computers n such. When you are satisfied with
the home, you may begin play.
In the game settings, set the lifespan to LONG. Also make the whole world around him age up as he does.
Dont want him getting suspicious now do we?
