Going to another planet was your only goal in life. When you become a young adult, the first thing you do is get a job in the scientist career to achieve your goal. Working and working and working, you never thought about love. It never was appealing to you anyway. Suddenly, you meet someone at work and they sweep you off your feet.

As a teen, you brought over new romance interests every once in awhile to see if they would pay attention to that, but it never really worked. You grew angry at them and ran away on your birthday turning into a young adult without telling them. A job opened up at a criminal service, and you decided to take it to the next level. Mischief and bringing new love interests to your apartment was the only thing that kept you happy and keep the thought of your parents away from your head.

You wanted justice… more so, revenge on all those criminals, including you mother, and wanted to be good. Before being able to move out, you had a huge fight with you mother about what she was doing and asking her to realize what she’s done to people. You still didn’t want to lose connection with her like she did with your grandparents, but as soon as you became a young adult, you joined the detective career. As your mother grows older, you help her become a better person since you want to forgive her, but all the other criminals out there need to be arrested. Now.

Cooking was your job in the family ever since you were a child and you loved it. Growing up, you wanted to be an amazing chef and maybe own your own restaurant.

This is a legacy challenge about the seven deadly sins. As described in Roman Catholic theology, the seven deadly sins are vices that spur other sins and further immoral behaviour. These seven sins are originally derived from the eight cardinal sins as written down by a Christian monk named Evagrius Ponticus in the 4th century. He described these sins as the ‘eight evil thoughts’: gluttony, lust, greed, anger, sloth, sadness, vainglory, and pride. In the 6th century Pope Gregorius I analyzed these eight evil thoughts and changed them into the seven deadly sins: pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth. If someone wishes to overcome these sins, then use must be made of the seven corresponding virtues: humility, charity, chastity, gratitude, temperance, patience, and diligence.

I always loved the idea of a sims 4 legacy challenge based around the seven deadly sins. I like playing with sims that are not ‘perfect’ and have their flaws because it resembles reality. There are already some legacy challenges out there based around the idea of the seven deadly sins, but in these challenges I have seen so far I missed the opportunity for each generation to learn from their sins or to better their life in a way. Since there are only seven sins, this legacy will have seven generations instead of the common ten generations. However, you can expand this legacy to ten generations by combining the idea of the eigth evil thoughts and the seven deadly sins which I will explain later in this post. In the end writing this challenge took me way longer than I expected and the post also turned out to be quite long (sorry for that ;)), but I really like how this challenge turned out and I hope you will enjoy it too.

Basic rules:

No toddler that will be the next heir is allowed to have the angelic trait but siblings of the heir are allowed to have it.

If your last gen is the 7th gen, the baby this gen will have will age up with the angelic trait when becoming a toddler. If you play up to the 10th generation, the baby of gen 9 will get the angelic trait when aging up into a toddler (this way gen 10 will have the angelic trait).

For each gen you can decide for yourself how many children the gen will have unless it is stated in the rules of the gen.

You may live wherever you please unless stated otherwise in the generation.

You are allowed to play this challenge with the lifespan you prefer (the normal or long lifespan is recommended).

Money cheats are allowed for the first gen to buy a lot or a house, try not to cheat any money during the rest of the challenge.

For every generation you must complete the aspiration and get to the top of the career unless stated otherwise.

If there is a career, aspiration or trait you can not assign to your sim because you don’t have certain DLC’s, you can choose another career, aspiration or trait you think is right for the gen that you are currently playing.

If you give this challenge a try please tag me because I would love to see it, or use ‘#7sinslegacy’ or ‘#7 sins legacy’ in your tags so I can check your gameplay. In case you have any comments of suggestions about this challenge feel free to send me a message and I will see if I can revise some things about this challenge in the future.

Generation 1: Ira (Wrath)

As a baby you were abandoned in front of an orphanage. Without parents or a good upbringing you had to rely on your own from a very young age. With a lack of adequate regulation and supervision you soon noticed that being aggressive towards others was the best way to defend yourself in the orphanage. If there is one thing you have learned from when you were a child is that the best way to stand up for yourself often requires a literal fight. You are looking for a place to live on your own now that you have reached young adulthood. Because you can’t easily get a regular job you are forced to take a different path. You feel like the entire world is against you so you don’t see a reason to treat the world any different. At this point you are so fed up with your life that you don’t care anymore in which way you will make your money.

Traits: hot-headed, hates children, self-assured

Aspiration: Public Enemy

Career: Criminal (Boss Branch)

Rules:

Master the Criminal Boss career and complete the Public Enemy aspriation

Master the mischief skill

Get in a relationship with someone to carry on the lineage but let them break up with you after you get a baby because you keep being mean and angry to them

When your child is in the toddler lifestage you get angry or mean whenever your toddler does something bad. When the toddler reaches the child lifestage you realise that the only person you care about constantly gets hurt when you act this way and it leads you to the decision to never react angry or mean to your child anymore

Max the friendship bar with your child

Later in your adult life you meet the other parent of your child again. Because they notice that you have changed you start dating again and eventually get married

Generation 2: Luxuria (Lust)

Even though your toddler years were not the most fun, you felt like you grew up in a loving household. Seeing your parent being alone for most of their life makes you realise that you don’t want this for yourself. As a child you easily make friends and you love to hang out with others. When you become a teen you notice that you start developing feelings for some of your classmates which result in some relationships. You always like to get a lot of attention and feel like the entertainer career is the right decision for you. You also really like being in a relationship, but you never feel completely satisfied which leads you to jump from one to another relationship or even have multiple relationships at once.

After you commit to your eight relationship you decide to never have romantic interactions with anyone else than your partner

In case your partner dies before you, you are not allowed to date or marry anyone else

Generation 3: Acedia (Sloth)

Seeing your parent having a hectic life with different romances and a demanding career you decide to take it easy in life. You love going on vacations and just do nothing. You even take doing nothing to the next level by calling someone every time something has to be done. Fire? Call the firefighters. Broken electronics? Call someone to fix it. Need to go somewhere but your children are at home? Call a nanny. Is something dirty? Call a maid. The only things in your life you put a little effort in is fishing and gaming.

When you become an adult you realise that you paid little attention to your child(ren) for most of their childhood and you want to make up for it by adopting a child and becoming more active in raising all of your children).

Generation 4: Superbia (Pride)

You see your parent neglecting everything in life, even raising you! You want to make sure that this does not happen to your children and you decide to help them with everything. Seeing your children doing good at school makes you really proud and you like to let everyone know that your children are doing well. You also like when your personal life is going well and you love getting promoted in your career. You want everyone to know when you get promoted so you throw a party every time this happens.

Traits: perfectionist, neat, self-absorbed (if you have Get Famous) or proper (if you have Snowy Escape)

Aspiration: World-famous Celebrity or Super Parent

Career: Acting or Style Influencer (either Branch)

Rules:

Master the chosen aspiration and complete the chosen career

Master the parenting skill

When you notice that one of your children is not doing well in school you start acting disappointed in this child and give it consequences for not doing well like giving extra chores, set a curfew or grounding your child.

After a lot of arguments you notice that your child really enjoys making food. You finally decide to help make their dreams come true even when they do not fit in your ‘perfect’ world.

Generation 5: Gula (Gluttony)

When you are a child you feel like your parents put too much pressure on getting good grades in school but you don’t care about this at all. All you want is to enjoy life and to party! This results in you skipping school, hanging around with friends and going to parties. You try to be away from home as much as possible and because of that you get a job as a fast food employee as a teenager. When you are at home you can often be found in the kitchen. You really like food! To make it and to eat it. Lots of it. When it is time to finally get out of the house you decide to take a job in the Culinary career.

After years of excessive eating and drinking you start to worry about your health. You decide to start incorporating workouts in your life. When you reach adulthood you include going for a run on every wednesday and sunday.

Generation 6: Avaritia (Greed)

Instead of food you like money. You never understood why your parent spent so much money on food when it could be used for you instead. It is your dream to live in a luxurious house and to have everything your heart desires, even when this means that you have to steal sometimes. You often go to extremes to get what you want which can result in you ruining the life of others.

Have at least one child to carry on the lineage

On your birthday of becoming an adult, your spouse wants to invite the children and ex-spouse from their previous marriage. You are reluctant but you agree to have them over. When they are at your house you start to realise what negative impact your greediness had on the lives of the other family. You decide that you want to do something back to the world so you start volunteering and donating 1000 simoleons to charity every week for the rest of your life.

Generation 7: Invidia (Envy)

As a child your parent never seem to give you the things that you want. You always get a cheaper alternative. This realization soon results in you comparing your life with that of others. You don’t like that you have the smallest bedroom in the house or that your sibling just got a new toy because it is their birthday. Later in your life these envious thoughts go even further and result in you being jealous of others having a relationship, more money, or a higher level career than you. The last results in you often switching careers because the grass always seems greener on the other side. The only thing that can silence these thoughts in your head is painting. You always liked being creative as a kid but now you are older you realise that there are a lot of painters out there that are better than you which makes you critical about your only passion.

Traits: jealous, ambitious, art lover

Aspiration: Renaissance Sim

Career: Barista, Arts Critic, Painter

master the painting skill

Find a partner to to have at least one child with or to carry on the lineage (if you want to play up to generation 10)

You thought that being an arts critic was the right job for you because it combines your passion with you being critical of everything. Seeing others enjoy creating art eventually makes you miss your dream of becoming a painter yourself. Instead of living with the envy you feel towards other artists you decide to start a career as a painter. With every promotion you notice how grateful you are that you had the opportunity to do something you like and you start to appreciate the things in life you have instead of the things you don’t have

You have the option to stop after generation seven because you have played through all of the seven deadly sins or you can play through three more generations to end up with ten generations in total. You can find the rules for the last generations in the rest of this post under the cut:
