The goal of this challenge is to make the prince fall in love with you and to become a princess. Will you be a conniving schemer or a kind-hearted do-gooder? The choice is yours and you can win either way. Your decisions will have an impact on your reputation, your traits and your future, however, so choose carefully!
This challenge has a lot of text, and I've used spoiler tags so that this post wouldn't be so messy. You can but don't need to read everything in advance, it's completely up to you. Reading it will make the challenge easier, but it'll be more fun if you don't read it beforehand. The text consists of four main parts: the rules, the daily schedule, the random events and the descriptions of the different destinies that your sim may have.
Setting up
-You live in a castle with five other princess candidates. Create all of the other candidates and your own sim in CAS and move them in. They need to be young adults. Pick their traits randomly. Your own sim's aspiration must be Successful Lineage.
-You may build the castle yourself or use a premade one. There are a lot of nice castles in the gallery! The furniture may be fancy (it's even recommended!). Also make sure that there are enough skilling objects for everybody: a couple of easels, different instruments, chess tables, skill books and so on. You need to use a money cheat to be able to afford everything. You may also freely use money during the challenge. It's recommended not to have other fun-building items than skilling objects and skill books on the lot, because the princess candidates would then probably use them too often.
-Create the royal family in CAS: the king, the queen and the prince, who is their only child. You may choose their looks and traits or randomize them. Pick a lot for them and move them in, it doesn't matter whether there is a house there or not, you won't be visiting them during the challenge.
-Set lifespan to long.
-In the beginning, take your sim to visit the royal family and introduce yourself to them (but don't try to become friends with them etc.). That way you'll know them and be able to invite them to your parties.
Rules and instructions
-The challenge lasts three weeks. You need to consult the schedule at six a.m. every day to know what happens that day.
-You cannot control the other candidates unless it says so in the daily schedule or the random events. Exception: You may occasionally make them clean or repair objects, but you also have to take part in those activities yourself.
-When you're required to roll a random event, use random.org or roll dice. If it's an event you've already rolled during the challenge, roll again until you get one that you haven't had already.
-You may not call the prince, the queen or the king, chat with them or to invite them over unless it says so in the daily schedule or the random events. You are also not allowed to interact with anybody else in the world except your own household.
-Cheats and mods that give you an advantage over a person who doesn't use them are not recommended.
Aspiration points
The number of aspiration points you have at the end of the challenge will determine your sim's fate and whether you've completed the challenge successfully. You will gain and lose aspiration points during the challenge. I recommend using this very helpful mod to quickly add or subtract aspiration points: http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=534747 . If you don't want to use that mod, you can also keep track of your aspiration points manually on a piece of paper. You will probably also gain aspiration points from completing whims, that's ok and even recommended. Your sim's aspiration must be Successful Lineage (so that you can't complete it during the challenge). It is also ok to spend aspiration points if you want to buy rewards. Just remember that the number of aspiration points at the end of the challenge determines whether you've been successful, so be careful not to spend too many of them!
Schemer / Kind-Hearted points
These are the other points you will get during the challenge. Every time you get one, keep count of how many you've already got. You can have both Schemer and Kind-Hearted points at the same time.
Tips
-All skills are useful, but the following are the ones you'll especially need to be successful in the challenge: Cooking, Gardening, Charisma, Violin / Piano / Guitar, Painting, Logic, Mixology.
-It's a good idea to buy expensive furniture. The most expensive bed is helpful, for example, because you won't need to sleep that long every night.
