I had a sudden flash of inspiration today while viewing the challenge list on the Sims forum. It’s something I’ve never seen before and I think it could be interesting. For some reason I had a flash idea of something along the lines of a Fallout Vault and The City of Ember (book/film) melding together.

I’m going to attempt to create something like this on the biggest lot available, completely underground, the sims will never see the light of day. of course this brings all sort of problems to the mix.

Jobs, food and Schooling.

Lack of a wider gene pool

Sims going nuts

Gardening

I figured that I might be able to use Jynx’s Rabbit hole rugs to fix some of the problems, though I’m not sure how well they will work. I could probably add some Appartments for additional live in sims though I think I will have to empty the entire world of lots and exterior sims to prevent routing issues and confusion.

I think the Mining Drill could be useful in this instance too, I could create a network of holes between different underground “villages”, this could help with sims not “getting Out” enough and also with expanding the gene pool. Gardening I think could be placed on the top level under the foundation so it’s on natural dirt, it could be a source of income and food for the people. Of course a Trash heap for the inventors to scramble through would have to be implemented as well. I figured they should all have the “hates the Outdoors” trait for good measure. I’m going to start out with a very sterile environment, lots of concrete and markings and ducting, over time Creative sims will paint, Photographers will photograph, Inventors will invent and Gardeners will garden.

Of course all of this is purely theoretical, I haven’t yet tried this myself to see if it will even work! Though I think that having a small town contained within a single block of land could be very interesting, don’t you think? I guess if there’s success you’ll be hearing from me about it!
