The Sims Build Challenge Generator is a fun desktop tool developed to help sims player to come up with new challenges ideas. The software takes multiple parameters and settings into accounts and generate a new challenge randomly. It includes for example :
- A random numbers of sims with randoms ages
- A random number of rooms and floors in your house
- A random challenge challengeColour picked in a list of funny colours names
And many mores !
You can simply download this tool as an executable .jar file. You can download the latest release here.
In order to launch this tool, you will need java 1.8 or a more recent version installed on your computer.
You can check your java version by typing java --version and pressing enter in your operating system command prompt.
Simply open the .jar tool by double clicking on it. If this doesn't work, you can also use the command prompt of your system and type
java -jar <path-of-the-jar-file>.
(Don't forget to include the ".jar" at the end of the file name.
You can also naviguate to the directory where you saved the .jar tool and type
java -jar simgen.jar.
For example if you saved it in Documents, enter those prompts :
cd Documentsjava -jar simgen.jar
Assuming that you didn't rename the .jar tool. If so, simply use the name you gave it.
Each time the tool open, you should obtain a random set of parameters for your sims challenge.
Here are some functionalities that I would like to add in the future:
- Settings adjustment before generating
- Ability to re-generate without closing and reopening the tool
- Ability to save the challenge as an image or a text file for example
- Ability to share the challenge
