Black Widow Challenge Rules:

Gameplay Options:

Option 1: With this option, you can choose to move into your spouses’ houses. You will have to keep all of the tombstones on the lot. However, keep in mind that this will cause the house to become “haunted”.

Option 2: You can live on your own lot. But, you will have to manually keep track of all of your killings.

Here is a guideline on how to start the challenge:

• Set your sims’ lifespan to normal. Then, create a sim that is a Young Adult. Give them the three following traits: Romantic, Snob, and Materialistic.
• Your sim’s aspiration has to be “Love”. The aspiration’s sub-category has to be “The Serial Romantic”.
• Move your sim into a lot or house.
• Meet a sim and get married!
• Then, have a dinner party to show everyone that you’re the perfect couple. Be careful, because the dinner party has to have a silver rating minimum.
• After the party, find yourself a new romantic interest.
• Then, get caught cheating and enter a fight with your husband.
• Kill off your husband and marry the new guy! Inscribe the tombstone with “(Name) – Died by Black Widow”
• Repeat the process until you have at least 10 tombstones.
