Steps to Begin the Challenge:
1: Create your Bachelor/Bachelorette: Get creative, they can be anything you want them to be! Old, Young, Pretty, Ugly, Rich, Poor. The beauty of this challenge is the rules are very relaxed, and you can truly let your creativity go here! Give them any traits you like, BUT The Romantic Trait. IS REQUIRED.
If you are doing this in LP form. Then keep the traits a secret for now!
2: Create your contestants: In The Sims 4, you can have 8 sims per household. So this means you have 7 spaces left! If you are doing this as a personal challenge. Create 7 very diverse sims if you wish. Get creative with your traits and sims personality.
If you are doing this in LP form. This is a great time to let your supporters JOIN IN on the fun, allow them to create 7 singles for your new lp!!
