All rules from 1990s still stand with the following changes:
First world Problems:
At the beginning of this generation, the expected Y2K bug never hits. However, this doesn’t seem to exempt your family from disaster. Roll to see what happens to each household related to your bloodline.
Roll a 1 or 2: A flash flood has taken your sims by surprise. All furniture in the basement level (or first floor if you have no basement) of your home must be deleted and replaced. If you own any crops or plants, all of them must also be deleted and replanted.
Roll a 3 or 4: A major storm hits your family’s neighborhood! A tree flew through the window of one of the bedrooms. Luckily, no sims were harmed, but the window needs to be replaced along with everything else in the room. Put all existing items inside the chosen room into the household inventory, and never take them out again, then rebuy or remodel the room.
Roll a 5 or 6: You’ve been robbed: Looks like someone must have left the door unlocked, and your family comes home to find that all electronics have been removed from the house. The police are of little help, and insurance pays a mere fraction of what they’re worth. Place ALL electronics into the household inventory, never to be taken out, and replace all electronics with your own funds. If you cannot afford this, you must go without.

I am a 47 year old American wife, mother, and gamer. I’ve lived in the Midwest most of my life, and enjoy it for the changing seasons. My favorite movie is Labyrinth, my favorite game is Sims 4, and I have tattoos related to both. My favorite colors are purple, red, and green. When I’m not playing games (which is rare) I also enjoy reading and crafting. I’m also an animal lover, and have had many types of pets over the years. Currently, I have a dog named Cassie who is a Jack Russel / Beagle mix and five young fancy rats (all of whom are rescues). I run this Sims 4 Blog where I post screenshots and stories about the different challenges I play. Also here are the Sims 4 challenges I've written, and a place for me to store all the Sims 4 knowledge I've gotten over the years. I am also a Sims 4/variety streamer on Twitch for my mental health, fun, and to meet new people. I am also in the EA Creator Network and an Ubisoft Partner, which is a dream come true! I look forward to meeting you!
