Surviving the Holidays: Friends or Foes?
The scenario debuts with two Sims that hold grudges again each other. To make things worse, they are stuck living together and have to share the same house. This means they’ll need to interact with each other quite frequently.
The two Sims share a common intricate backstory involving gnomes and real estate scams. That’s how they got stuck together. Unfortunately, they’re both too stubborn to move out and are force to find a way to mend their differences. Because of Christmas, they should at least try to get along a bit better.
To complete the challenge, you need to turn the enemies into friends. At the end of the day, the two should not have any negative feeling towards each other.
