The Greek Gods Legacy: A legacy challenge for the Sims 4

This is a 10 generation legacy challenge I thought about randomly one day remembering my childhood hyperfixation on Greek mythology. There are a few legacy challenges based around this concept already out there but I wanted to create my own! Some other versions of this challenge can be found here and here. Please check out these other challenges & find one you enjoy if my rendition isn't for you. Thank you & any helpful feedback would be appreciated!

BASIC RULES:

Cheats are allowed, play how you like to play!

Each generation is given a few colors that you can use as their color scheme, but it is totally optional. The traits, career, aspiration & skills listed under each generation are not optional & must be assigned & completed fully in order to move on to the next generation

The heirs can be of any gender, but I would recommend naming them the exact names of the gods/goddesses they are based after. I have tried to make the rules for each generation as genderless as possible so you can freely pick what gender you prefer to play with

There are 2 generations with 2 heir options: simply pick one of the heirs to play with & only focus on the requirements for the heir you chose, even if the other option is in your active household

Feel free to change any aspect of the challenge that you want to! Don't have a certain pack mentioned in multiple generations? Just skip those rules or substitute them with whatever you want & have fun with it!

MIDWEST PRINCESS LEGACY

A fifteen generation legacy challenge based on the songs from Chappell Roan’s ‘The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess’, including a bonus generation of her hit single ‘Good Luck, Babe!’. Each generation will have a different set of goals and requirements before the new heir takes over. Check out my video where I introduce the challenge in more detail: https://youtu.be/bWn7UVu-upc

Rules:

Aging must be turned on, but you can have it at any length you wish.

Each goal must be met before the new heir takes over.

NO MONEY CHEATS.

If you do this challenge, please credit me (@ginovasims).

Vague guidelines/suggestions:

Heir should be female-presenting. 

Some generations require specific careers. If it is not specified, you can have any career you want. Same goes for worlds to live in.

Each generation offers two colours. You can use both of them, one of them, or neither of them, it is up to you. You can use them as much or as little as you wish as well.

Mods and custom content can be used.

The generations will offer three traits, you do not need the heir to have all three traits, but they MUST have at least TWO of them.

If you cannot add any of the required traits when the heir is a child, you are able to choose another trait and change it to the correct trait when available (either as a teen or YA). You can do this through cheats in CAS. But the same rule applies that you must have at least two of the offered traits by the time the heir is a YA.

If you do not have all of the packs required to complete the requirements for each generation, either find a similar alternative or skip that rule. But where possible, you must complete each generation requirement.

(OPTIONAL) Use the hashtag #MidwestPrincessLegacy on tweets, posts, and videos.

Recommended packs to complete all requirements: Lovestruck, Get Together, For Rent, Cottage Living, Horse Ranch, Snowy Escape, High School Years, Island Living, Get To Work, Discover University, Get Famous, City Living, Vampires, Realm of Magic, Dine Out.

Disclosure: Most of the generations are played from the perspective of the first-person narrative sung by Chappell, however generation 8 and 15 (‘My Kink Is Karma’ and ‘Good Luck, Babe!’) are written from the perspective of the person Chappell is singing about. It offered more story-telling opportunities this way and allowed the player to do more gameplay.

Thank you to Max (@maximumdino) for your help and support with this challenge, especially with the colours! You gave me ideas for generations I struggled with and helped me add depth. I really appreciate everything you did to help me get this challenge how it is now!

——————————————————————————————————

THE GENERATIONS

Generation 1 - Femininomenon Well, what we really need is a femininomenon

You always thought you would find your ‘one true love’ and settle down together, because that’s what you’re supposed to do, right? You try your hand at online dating, but it never seems to work out, and you make friends with women who have similar experiences to you. You decide to band together and give up on guys, who needs them anyway? You vow to help queer sims find love that they truly deserve.

Requirements:

Go on multiple failed online dates

Start a club with close girl friends

Reach level ten of the romance consultant career

Raise a child with one/some of your girl friends

Own a rental with only sapphics for tenants

Generation 2 - Red Wine Supernova Baby, why don’t you come over? Red wine supernova, falling into me

Wow, who is that stunning sim who came into your life like magic? Is it lust, or love? It’s hard to tell, you’ve never felt like this about anyone else before. But there’s something about her that draws you in… You both are a little, let’s say, ‘different’ to everyone else, but that’s what makes things so interesting. The flame burns hot, and you’re not going to let it die out anytime soon.

Live with roommates your whole young adult life

Fall in love with a vampire lady

Collect all ten wands from the magical artefacts collection

Generation 3 - After Midnight ‘Cause everything good happens after midnight

Your mum always warned you that your hot-headed nature might land you in some trouble, and that’s not all that leads you that way! You’re always down for a good time, letting loose on the dancefloor and with romantic partners. Life’s more fun when you live each day as it comes, even if that means facing some inconveniences. You’ll find a way to make things work for you, but you just can’t ever seem to escape the drama.

Requirements:

Go out clubbing every weekend

Hook up with both guys and girls you meet at the club

Have at least three fights at the club during your young adult years

Generation 4 - Coffee ‘Cause If we do coffee, it’s never just coffee

You’re the opposite of your carefree parent, you must have everything perfect, even if that means losing the one you love the most. Although, you never really seem to be able to let go of them completely. They always find a way back into your life, back into your heart. They’re your one weakness, your only downfall. But how long can you go on living this way, knowing things will never work between you both?

Join the barista career as a teen

Have your first date at the park

Meet your partner’s parents at a fancy restaurant

Generation 5 - Casual Hate that I let this drag on so long, you can go to hell

You’re a hopeless romantic who can’t see red flags when they’re staring you in the face. Maybe you can change them? After all, their family loves you, and you love them. Your friends try to warn you, but you shrug them off, wanting to see the best in everyone. Will things ever change, or are you permanently blinded by love? If love is really what you can call this situationship…

Fall in love with a noncommittal sim but never become official

Go on holiday with their family to Sulani

You know what you want, and you won’t let a fugly man hold you back. You’re done giving these guys chances when they can’t give you what you deserve. You have big dreams and you know who will be there to support you, and who won’t. You plan to leave this planet and explore another world without any men to bring you down. And who knows, maybe there will be a cute alien in your future…

Have an awful first date at a bar (bonus if it’s on a friday night with a guy who hates dancing!)

Generation 7 - HOT TO GO! Baby, do you like this beat? I made it so you’d sleep with me

You’ve always loved to dance and find it’s the best way to communicate. Who needs words when your body can paint a picture even better? And when you meet a sim who leaves you speechless, surely there’s no better way to confess your love to them than through dancing! But you can’t embarrass yourself, that would ruin every-thing, you need to make sure everything is perfect before you shoot your shot.

Requirements:

Become head cheerleader as a teen at high school

Stay single until you meet your perfect sim at a nightclub

Only develop romance with your soulmate after you’ve maxed the dancing skill

Generation 8 - My Kink Is Karma  People say I’m jealous, but my kink is karma

This was never going to last though, you love making sims miserable, even if it means you’re never happy yourself. When your ex becomes more successful than you ever will be, you continue to take it out on everyone around you. How long can you live like this? Will you ever redeem yourself?

Move back in with parents after breakup

Generation 9 - Picture You  Do you picture me like I picture you?

With a parent like yours, you’ve never been able to differentiate between what’s right and what’s wrong, everything is sort of… morally grey. So when you find an attractive sim who is way out of your league, you’re too afraid to approach them. Instead, you decide to take pictures of them… without them knowing. It’s not bad if they never find out, right? You still admire and appreciate all your other lovers though, but they’ll never be that sim.

Requirements:

Max the photography and research and debate skills

Enter the freelance fashion photographer career

Decorate your bedroom walls with photos of an attractive sim who you have no romance with

Paint portraits of all romantic interests and never sell or dispose of them

Meet your partners at the library

Generation 10 - Kaleidoscope  It’s never just a shape alone, love is a kaleidoscope

Finding love with your childhood best friend was the most incredible thing that could happen to you. They’re your muse, your everything. Until things go wrong. The dynamic between you both shifts and things get awkward. You won’t chase them and make them stay if that’s not what they want. Instead, you reminisce over the years you had together, and you never forget them. You can’t bring yourself to get over your one and only love.

Requirements:

Date your childhood best friend

Write and sell love songs

Break up and lose all contact with your ex

Watch your ex build a new life with a new family

Buy a ranch in Chestnut Ridge and remain a single parent

Traits: music lover, loner, lazy Aspiration: musical genius Colours: purple and gold

Generation 11 - Pink Pony Club  I’m gonna keep on dancing at the Pink Pony Club

You and your parent are very different, and this makes things hard for you growing up. You don’t connect with the world you grew up in. You dream of escaping the small town and starting fresh in the city. You can be who you want to be, do what you want to do, and make friends with sims who feel the same way. You never forget where you grew up, but it was never home for you. You make a new life for yourself and are so much better for it.

Requirements:

Have a pink horse growing up

Move from Chestnut Ridge to Del Sol Valley when you become a young adult

Have a difficult relationship with your mother

Reach level ten of the entertainer career

Create a club with drag queens and kings

Traits: horse lover, insider, dance machine Aspiration: leader of the pack Colours: baby pink and silver

Generation 12 - Naked In Manhattan  Touch me, baby, put your lips on mine, could go to hell, but we’ll probably be fine

Everything changes for you when you find yourself crushing on a cute girl after years of bad relationships with sucky guys. What is this feeling? You can’t explain it, but you’ve never felt this way about anyone before. There’s an undeniable connection between the two of you, and you know you can’t go back to your old ways ever again. But will you and this girl ever be more than just friends?

Requirements:

Have slumber parties every weekend as a teen 

Live in San Myshuno your whole young adult life

Have multiple bad relationships with guys

Get juiced and hook-up with a girl before becoming woohoo partners

Never date guys again after your self-discovery

Traits: romantic, cheerful, materialistic Aspiration: city native (bonus: slumber party animal as a child) Colours: turquoise and white

Generation 13 - California  Thought I’d be cool in California, I’d make you proud

You have always dreamed of making it big, so you move in with your grandparents who live in Del Sol Valley. But things aren’t easy and you struggle making a name for yourself. You won’t give up straight away, but you can’t help but feel like something is wrong. Growing up in two cities your whole life maybe isn’t right for you. Maybe a new dream in the countryside is all you need.

Requirements:

Move to Del Sol Valley and live with grandparents as a teenager and young adult

Never complete your celebrity aspiration

Join the actor or social media career, but never surpass level six

Move to old family ranch in Chestnut Ridge as an adult and quit your job

Live the rest of your days looking after your ranch

Traits: gloomy, family-oriented, rancher Aspiration: world-famous celebrity, swap to championship rider as an adult Colours: brown and orange

Generation 14 - Guilty Pleasure I want this like a cigarette, can we drag it out and never quit?

You’re the perfect daughter, perfect student, perfect ‘good girl’. But when a not-so-perfect sim catches your eye, you can’t turn away. They challenge everything you think you know and push you to do things you never thought you were capable of. They don’t change you though, and you don’t change them. You find the perfect balance in your relationship and continue to help each other grow, keeping each other on your toes at all times.

Requirements:

Achieve A grades throughout school

Have the stereotypical ‘good girl’ image your whole life

Achieve a pristine reputation

Date someone with different traits, appearance, and lifestyle to you

Earn the opposites attract sentiment with your partner

Traits: adventurous, good, geek Aspiration: inner peace (bonus: goal-oriented as a teen) Colours: navy blue and gold

Generation 15 - Good Luck, Babe! You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling

It’s hard when you don’t feel in control of your own feelings. You want to commit to a girl you love, but instead self-sabotage and refuse to admit to how you really feel. When she calls it off, you’re heartbroken. You go back to an old boyfriend who could never love you how she does and hope to find happiness with him. But years down the line, you still can’t get her out of your head. Will you ever be honest with yourself and live your true life?

Requirements:

Date a girl in secret, but never be seen in public together

Kiss lots of guys in bars

Marry a guy who you don’t love

As an adult, divorce your husband and reunite with your secret lover from years ago

Only work on your aspiration after your divorce

Traits: noncommittal, paranoid, cat lover Aspiration: soulmate Colours: baby pink and baby blue

KALEIDOSCOPE: A Sims 4 Legacy Challenge

The basic premise of this legacy challenge I created randomly is that each generation is based off of 10 of the EA hair colors & is loosely inspired by the Not So Berry Challenge that everyone has either played, watched someone played or just heard of. That challenge is very old & The Sims 4 has evolved a lot as a game so this is basically an updated version of it but based on the EA hair colors so that it's easier to play with for simmers who don't use cc or who play on console. Also please note that the colors of the font don't always line up as Tumblr only has a few selected colors I can use & I don't know how to get more lol. I hope you all enjoy this challenge & let me know if any parts of the challenge are not working/broken as I will update it then!

This challenge requires:

EP's: Get to Work, Get Together, City Living, Cats & Dogs, Seasons, Get Famous, Discover University, Eco Lifestyle, Snowy Escape, High School Years, Growing Together, Horse Ranch, Lovestruck + Life & Death

Unless stated in the rules, where each generation lives, what type of residential lot they live on, what traits the home lot has, how many children an heir has, how many pets an heir has, what other skills they gain/master, whether the heir goes to university or not, etc. are completely up to the player to decide

The traits stated for each generation are the traits the heirs need to have

Cheats are allowed; It is your personal game play so play it how you enjoy!

Throughout each generation, maintain the ghost of the founder sim (this is important to complete this legacy challenge entirely)

Feel free to change the requirements up if you don't have all required packs or just wanna do something different! I made this based on gameplay mechanics I have and never really use, so that is why there is no For Rent gameplay mechanics as I don't have that pack.

LEPacy Challenge ♡

Hi everyone, I know that I said I would refresh my Mitski Legacy Challenge but I got inspired to make my own version of the LEPacy Challenge. If you don't know what this is, it is a legacy challenge where every generation is centered around an expansion pack. This was originally created for The Sims 3 by @simpishly and has been converted to The Sims 4 by the original creator and @anneliesembsims. However, I wanted to make a version of the challenge that is strictly Expansion Packs (with some optional inclusions of other packs).

So, I did. Every generation has 2-5 options of gameplay that come with background stories, goals and requirements. So far it only has 10 generations, which consist of the first 10 Expansion Packs (Get to Work through Snowy Escape). I decided to only do these packs as it creates the perfect number 10 and I do not have the two newest EPs and have not played with Cottage Living yet!

There are also some general rules to the challenge, which are:

No cheats unless the Goals/Requirements say otherwise! (Can use freerealestate for the first home of the first generation but for no generation after)

You must complete every Goal before the next heir is a Young Adult and/or your current heir dies

Can play on any lifespan (normal is recommended)

If the Goals/Requirements do not mention kids, marriage, traits, aspirations, careers, what world to live in etc., that is all up to you

You do not have to follow my background stories and can create your own

The order in which you do the challenge is optional; you can start with Generation 10 and make your ways to Generation 1, mix and match, etc. The whole point is to complete 1 option of each generation, therefore the order does not matter.

Goals/Requirements with options separated by OR simply mean to choose 1 of the options and any that say OPTIONAL are not required and can be added to create more challenge

Anywaysssss... it is way too long for me to type here so I have the Google Doc that I wrote everything on linked in the title and in a link down below. Please tell me if any of the goals/requirements I have created are impossible, incorrect or just extremely difficult to do! Any feedback would be appreciated and if you do not like my version, please follow the versions created by @simpishly and @anneliesembsims! They include other types of packs, not just EPs! Thank you so much and also check out my Mitski Legacy Challenge!

Enjoy :) -> LEPacy Challenge Rules

Sims 4 Mystical Motherhood: The Occult Baby Challenge

This is a Sims 4 challenge still in the works! I will be adding more rules and conditions as we make our way through the challenge and hopefully by the time it’s over we will have a complete challenge! ;D Thanks for stopping by.

Watch me play this challenge on my YouTube channel! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1ZL0ETjNlc&list=PL6kwWYmMSTRzjoHmEapEXu9reDojskVSw&index=1&t=264s

The point of this challenge for me was to see what the game offers with occults! I wanted to see which children got special traits, how they looked when they were born, the probability of the baby being an occult with a human mother, etc. It was a big experiment and I had so much fun with it. Unfortunately, it is close to impossible to do without mods and cheats. I also used a ton of occult cc to make the kids look like they we’re actually occult sims. How you want to play the challenge is up to you! This is just a guide on how I did it! 

I had no idea what was to come of this challenge when I started it so I ran into a lot of issues along the way. I had to use a lot of cheats and mods to get around some of the limits in the game. I have included below everything I had to do to get around these issues! I hope it helps. 

CHALLENGE OBJECTIVE: Have a baby with each of the occult sims in the game. Keep in mind in order to have certain occult sims you must own the expansion pack for it.

OCCULT SIMS: Vampire, Mermaid, Patchy the Straw Man, Flower Bunny, Alien, Spell Caster, Father Winter, Plant Sim, Island Elemental, Grim Reaper, Tragic Clown, Ghost, Servo Bot, Wishing Well (optional).

RULES: Create a human sim however you want. The only thing that is required is the sim must be able to get pregnant. Move your sim into any house. You may use money cheats if you want. Build a relationship with each occult creature in the game and become pregnant with their child. In order for you to be able to move a child out of the house they must reach level 5 in the skills that are associated with occult.

PACKS NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE ENTIRE CHALLENGE: Vampires, Get to Work (aliens), Island Living (mermaids), Seasons (patchy, flower bunny, father winter), Realm of Magic, University (servo), Romantic Garden (for the wishing well), Knifty Knitting (knitting skill), Outdoor Retreat (herbalism skill) City Living (singing skill), Spa Day (wellness skill).

OPTIONAL MODS NEEDED: 

https://deaderpool-mccc.com/#/

REAPING SKILL: https://neilsimming.wixsite.com/neildevblog/post/the-sims-4-death-angels-modpack

CHEATS NEEDED/HOW TO ACCESS CERTAIN OCCULTS:

Grim Reaper: In order to be able to try for baby with the Grim Reaper you need to first build a relationship with him, add him to your family but SHIFT clicking on Grim and clicking “Add to Family". Then you must remove his reaper trait with the following cheat: traits.clear_traits

After that, you should have no problem trying for baby with Grim! After you become pregnant, you can add his reaper trait back with this cheat: traits.equip_trait GrimReaper

Island Elementals: To access the island elementals, your sim must have the “child of the islands trait”. Once your sim has this trait, you can click on your sim and the option for summoning the island spirits should be available. Click it, and the island elementals will come to your lot. Build relationships with one or all of them. In order to try for baby with the island elementals, they must first be added to your household. There is no way to have a baby while they are still in their ghost form so you must bring them back to life. You can either use the wishing well, ambrosia, or cheat it using mccc. Once they are human again, you can try for baby. The objective here is to have a child that has the ‘Sulani Mana’ trait inherited from the island elementals. 

Plant Sim: There are no plant sims walking around the world in the Sims 4, so in order for you to have a baby with one you will have to make it yourself. Choose a sim you would like to make into a plant sim. 

Sims can become Plant Sims by eating a Forbidden Fruit, which is obtained by entering the Mystical Magic Bean Portal Tree. You collect six magical beans (flirty, confident, sad, uncomfortable, tense, playful and angry) from rare seed packets. You then purchase the magical stump from build/buy mode and place the six magical beans on it. They can then water the stump for it to grow into the “Mystical Magic Bean Portal Tree”. You can also skip all of that and purchase the tree from the debug build/buy menu. By entering the tree, Sims can obtain the Forbidden Fruit through answering correctly a short text-based adventure. Once they obtain the fruit, Sims can eat it and become PlantSims or plant it and grow more Forbidden Fruits. Plant Sim lasts for 5 days.

Tragic Clown: Purchase the Tragic Clown painting from build/buy mode. Have your sim view it until the Tragic Clown shows up on your lot. 

Wishing Well: You can wish for a child with the wishing well from Romantic Garden Stuff Pack. Make an offering before wishing for a child or you may get a negative outcome! 

SKILLS/OBJECTIVES FOR THE KIDS:

Patchy: Gardening / Flower Arranging

Alien: Rocket Science / Programming

Mermaid: Fitness / Singing

Vampire: Vampire Lore / Pipe Organ

Flower Bunny: Painting / Knitting

Spell Caster: Learn 5 spells

Father Winter: Wood Working / Baking

Plant Sim: Herbalism / Wellness

Island Elemental: Fishing / Guitar

Grim Reaper: Reach level 5 of the Reaping skill from the Death Angels Mod

Tragic Clown: Comedy / Mischief 

Servo: Robotics / Logic

Ghost: ?

Once your kid(s) have completed their objectives, you may move them out of the house to make room for more kids.

Thank you for taking an interest in this challenge! Good luck 💕

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* Mitski Legacy Challenge *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

do you love mitski? do you love legacy challenges in the sims 4? i have the perfect legacy challenge for you! this is a legacy challenge where each generation is inspired by a mitski song. this is heavily inspired by @draeyad 's Crybaby Whims Legacy Challenge so please check their content out & play their legacy challenge as well! also just a trigger warning; generation 7 discusses the topic of eating disorders & generation 4 somewhat discusses alcoholism (not explicitly but it's implied) so please don't play this challenge if those are triggers of any kind! thank you <3

general rules:

• lifespan should be normal (generation 10 can be long as you're going to college)

• heir can be any gender

• minimal cheats (can use freerealestate for first home, etc.)

• mods that are recommended: Basemental drugs mod (this would be best for generation 4 & maybe generation 2), MCC Command Center (in order to cheat for twins, etc. you need this mod; also good for risky woohoo/unplanned pregnancies), & Wonderful Whims (it's just a nice mod to have as it has an attractiveness system)

• can live anywhere, unless stated in generation's rules & can have as many pets you want

• have fun! this challenge is kind of depressing in some areas but it's ultimately something to have fun with

generation 1 - bag of bones

"just move the stuff up off the bed and do what you came here to do"

after a messy breakup with your high school partner, you have fallen victim to hookup culture. the book you had been planning to write your entire time at high school has been untouched ever since they left. you let people in almost every day, even though you hate it. you're a mess, you don't know what to do or what you want or who you are... but maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel?

aspiration - writer

traits - gloomy, slob & creative

hook up with at least 4 different sims a week

have an accidental pregnancy with one of your hookups (can have multiple)

have an ex that you despise (can try to rekindle the relationship)

write at least 10 books by the the time you're an elder

keep home a mess & rarely clean up

fall in love with a sim that is family-oriented and/or neat & marry them as an adult or elder

master the writing skill

generation 2 - class of 2013

"mom, is it alright if i stay for a year or two?"

adulthood is hard and being a struggling artist doesn't make it any easier. due to a lack of money, you decide to move back in with your parents. what's so wrong with living with your parents? but, your dependence on your parents has made you completely stop performing or working hard enough for a promotion. is this really helping? or is this just making things worse?

aspiration - musical genius

traits - outgoing, music lover & lazy

live with your parents (keep them alive for a while so this is possible)

neglect your skills / career while living there; party, dance & go out instead

be kicked out by your parents (have negative relationship with them after)

perform for tips, join the entertainment career & participate in every karaoke contest

meet another musician, get drunk & have a one-night stand with them (get pregnant with them)

master the singing & guitar skills

get married to a same sex sim as an elder

generation 3 - me and my husband

"me and my husband, we're doing better"

financial struggles as a child instilled the thought that you needed to marry a rich person in order to be successful. money isn't just easily handed out, and in order to not be the poor person you always were, you decided to marry a rich detective. however, no one tells you the truth about who they really are, and your partner is no exception to that.

aspiration - mansion baron

traits - materialistic, good, family-oriented

as a young adult, marry a rich sim whose career is the detective career (sim should have hot-headed and/or mean trait)

have as many children as possible

argue / fight with partner multiple times a week (have negative relationship with them)

meet another sim (who is also good like you) and emotionally cheat on your partner with them

be a stay-at-home mom/dad (can do freelancer careers or odd jobs)

end up leaving your partner for the good sim & take a good amount of their money with you

master parenting skill

generation 4 - townie

"i want a love that falls as fast as a body from the balcony"

seeing your family be torn apart as a child made you crave the intimacy your parents never had. what was it like to be loved? to be held? to be cherished? you want to know, but before you do know you go through similar things; drinking, messiness, heartbreak. you fill the void with party-filled nights just to go home and feel even more empty than before. you're missing something... but you just don't know what it is quite yet.

aspiration - party animal then change to big happy family as an adult

traits - clumsy, glutton, self-assured

party often as a teenager/young adult

have multiple friends with benefits relationships

have a friend group (club) that is for partying

as you reach the adult age, start figuring out a sim you would want to marry

have 2 part time jobs (you can decide which ones)

as an adult, enter the politician career

get married as an adult and have at least 2 children

master the dancing & charisma skills

generation 5 - i bet on losing dogs

"I know they're losing and I'll pay for my place by the ring where I'll be looking in their eyes when they're down"

because your parents were older when they had you, you didn't really have a connection with them. but you did have a connection with the dog you begged to get for your birthday. dogs became a huge part of your life, you even wanted to own a veterinary clinic so you could be surrounded by them for forever. so, that's exactly what you'll do.

aspiration - friend of the animals

traits - dog lover, genius, cheerful

own a dog as a child

own a vet clinic

have at least 2 dogs of your own

train dogs with every command possible

successfully run the obstacle course for dogs

marry a sim that also has the dog lover trait

have at least 3 children

master the vet & pet training skills

generation 6 - working for the knife

"i start the day high and it ends so low cause i'm working for the knife"

inspired by your parents' abilities to raise children, take care of dogs and run a whole business, you decided you wanted to be just like them. but, that isn't always the case. although you want to be a fashion designer, your parents forced you into the world of business. but, you're not happy. you want to design, to paint, to create, and your boring business job isn't doing it for you. but you can't quit! or.. can you?

aspiration - painter extraordinaire or lord/lady of the knits

traits - creative, art lover, & ambitious

paint and/or knit whenever you can (list on plopsy instead of selling directly)

get promotions slowly (don't get promoted right away)

be in the business or salary person career

in hopes of getting a promotion, romance your "boss" (while there isn't a determined boss in any job, have a sim that is level 10 of the career you're in and pretend they're the boss) and accidentally get pregnant with twins (cheat this!)

master the painting & knitting skills

fall in love with a sim in the painting career, and have them help you get the courage to leave your job

once you quit your job, stay unemployed (pretend that you have to apply to jobs and you're having issues getting any offers) until finally you get your dream job as a style influencer

get married as an adult & have one more child with partner

generation 7 - brand new city

Warning: Mention/Implication of Eating Disorders!

"if i gave up on being pretty i wouldn't know how to be alive"

growing up with social media, you always felt this pressure to be beautiful. you wanted to be skinny like the models you saw in magazines, flawless like the actors in your favorite movies. you're not that, but you want to be, you HAVE to be. you become obsessive, exercising constantly, eating only healthy foods, posting to social media constantly. you're exhausted, but beauty is pain right?

aspiration - world-famous celebrity

traits - vegetarian, active & self-absorbed

eat only healthy foods (nothing baked, no cakes, nothing sweet or sugary)

exercise constantly (at least 10 times a week)

master fitness & media production skills

go to the spa a lot (get pedicures/manicures)

wear a face mask at least 5 times a week

live in san myshuno (move around apartments a lot)

make videos with the media production set & become at least a 2 star celebrity

post to simstagram story constantly

be in the social media career

adopt 2 children & never marry; you're too focused on being pretty for that

generation 8 - goodbye, my danish sweetheart

"i don't blame you if you want to bury me in your memory, i'm not the girl i ought to be"

raised by a single parent who was too obsessed with themself to take care of you and your sibling, you aren't who you want to be. of course, you didn't know this for a while, but one day when your high school sweetheart broke up with you, you realized you were the issue. you yearn for them, you miss them, but you know if you want them back you have to be a better person.

aspiration - inner peace (then freelance botanist if completed early)

traits - mean, loner, gloomy

have an ex-partner that you don't talk to often

have a negative relationship with multiple sims (mend these relationships as you begin to heal)

start to meditate regularly, go to therapy (go to the spa for this) & learn to take care of yourself

develop a love for gardening & have a beautiful garden/greenhouse full of plants of all kinds

through time, change sim's traits (mean turns into good, loner turns into loves outdoors, gloomy turns into cheerful)

as an adult, get back with your ex & have at least 2 children with them

join the gardening career

master the gardening & wellness skills

generation 9 - i will

"all i want is always you, it's always you"

your parents love story was romantic and sweet, and always kept you daydreaming. you want that kind of love; you want that kind of passion. you want to have someone you love and cherish with you always. but sometimes we don't always get what we want, and you can attest to that.

aspiration - soulmate

traits - romantic, family-oriented, loner

complete postcard collection & chat online often

generation 10 - remember my name

"i need something bigger than the sky, hold it in my arms and know it's mine"

looking for an escape from the hell your childhood was, you became immersed in the world of Sixam. Sixam comic books, pictures of Sixam, viewing Sixam through the telescope, you wanted to be there. in hopes of one day being the first astronaut to land on Sixam, you go to college and work hard. you build a rocket in your backyard, you communicate with aliens, hell you've even been abducted before! and finally, all of this hard work... it's going to have a reward.

Family Dynamics Challenge 2.0

Henlooo, so the family dynamics challenge is originally by Pastellapixels and standingsimmer and all the credit goes to them! However I just changed it here and there because it's been so long since the challenge was updated and there are a few new additions to the game, career and aspiration wise. if you guys have any suggestions, or if you wanna correct me on some stuff please do let me know!

General Rules

Begin with a single sim

No cheats or mods that serve to enhance gameplay over other simmers (MC Command Center is permitted for baby gender/number control and risky woohoo only)

Have fun! Don’t let the rules of this challenge confine you and inhibit your creativity. Unless the rules explicitly direct you, we encourage you to make the gameplay your own

Generation One: “White picket fence”

From the time that you strike out on your own as a young adult, you dream of cultivating loving familial relationships as rich and unique as the dishes you love to create. You marry younger than some of your friends, raise a bundle of children, and enjoy gardening and entertaining in your spare time. Yet, you still devote a portion of your life to your hidden dream of becoming a master chef.

*Upon completing level 5 of the Culinary career, you may also choose to leave the career and open a restaurant instead. (optional because we know that Dine Out suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks)

Generation Two: “Why ever leave?”

You were raised to believe that “home is where the heart is.” And because of this, you rarely venture into the outside world unless given a really good reason to do so. You choose not to leave your parents’ home to pursue your own path at the same time that a lot of others do. Video games and programming became your passion while holed up in your basement bedroom, and thankfully your career of choice doesn’t require a lot of socialization. Leftover pizza, anyone?

Aspiration: Computer Whiz

Career: Tech Guru (eSport Gamer branch)

Rules:

Win a GeekCon competition while cosplaying

Master programming and video gaming skills

Play the guitar as a hobby (no skill requirement)

Order a pizza delivery or something on Zoomers every night of the week

Never move out of childhood home until parents have died

Generation Three: “Top of the World”

Being raised by a parent with an affinity for keeping close to home never quelled your sense of adventure and love for the outdoors when growing up. After a trip to Komorebi with a few friends during your highschool you find that there is more to the world other than your hometown and there’s more people to meet along the way. Being made a single parent at a young age only helped to build the desire within you to remain free of the clutches of a conventional job or relationship. And so, you devote your heart to reaching the peak of Komorebi and sharing to the world your process of getting there.

Traits: Cheerful, Unflirty, Adventurous

Aspiration: Extreme Sports Enthusiast

Master rock climbing and snowboarding skills (snowboarding is optional)

Totally optional but you can compete the simmies collection

Reach the peak of Mt. Komorebi

Get the Adrenaline seeker lifestyle

Generation Four: “Work away the pain”

Let’s be honest: you had a pretty good upbringing. Even though there were some rough patches, you know that your parent did the best they could to raise you alone. But, deep down, being alone is the very thing you fear more than anything. So, you cover it up with work. You work 10x harder than anyone else in your family probably. But deep down you still crave stability and so as a desperate attempt to fill the emptiness that drives you, you marry a close friend only to find later that your spouse hasn’t been faithful. Eventually, you break down and take things lightly with the help of your family. They teach you how to have a healthier outlet for your frustrations. Who knew flower arranging was so relaxing?

Traits: Insider, Romantic, Perfectionist

Aspiration: Academic

Career: Lawyer (Private Attorney branch)

Rules:

Master Research and Debate Skill and Charisma Skill

Earn a degree of Language and Literature from Britechester University (you can stop aging while in University)

Marry first GF/BF as a YA

Turn blind eye to spouse’s cheating

Eventually divorce spouse; never remarry

Get the workaholic lifestyle and try to lose it later in life

Generation Five: “Struggling in Los Simgeles”

You come from a broken home. Growing up, you witnessed first-hand the havoc that infidelity can bring on a family. You determine from a young age that you will pour your soul into forging close relationships with your spouse and children. The city draws you, and it is there that you decide to make your home. However, despite your best efforts as an actress later in life, tragedy claims one of your children long before their time. You wear a shroud of sadness from then on, but find that the love of your remaining child(ren) and your ability to immerse yourself into your roles might just pull you through in the end.

Traits: Gloomy, High maintenance, Vegetarian

Aspiration: Super Parent

Career: Actress

Rules:

Master acting skills

Reach level 10 acting career

Live in an apartment from YA

Have twins

Get nominated for your works (I would add winning just as an option here because we know the game is kinda dumb)

Lose one child to death

Visit child’s grave at least once per week; leave their bedroom untouched

Generation Six: “Living with a broken heart”

You lost a sibling at a very young age and witnessed your parents’ grief while still trying to process it yourself. Rather than trying to pick up the pieces, you let the sadness consume you. And at the same time you have this whole 'This bloodline ends with me' thing going on because of what you've went through. At first you have been recruited to become a secret agent, but after finding out how corrupt the system is, you decide to screw it because if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em! Am I right? Theft and criminal activity become appealing to you, and eventually you give yourself over to that lifestyle. Even though you’re more at home in your contemplative solitude, you take comfort with a woohoo buddy who eventually gets you pregnant/or you get pregnant. So now you're wanted criminal caring for a child that you have no idea how to take care of. But there’s a surprising side to you; the raging in your heart is only calmed by the time you spend painting.

Completing your aspiration is not necessary

Generation Seven: “Here to make a difference”

There is only one word to describe your childhood: lonely. You knew from a young age that the parent you lived with took no pleasure in your company, and you’ve always felt that you were the “mistake” that resulted from a careless decision. As a result, you pour effort into building relationships with those who truly care about you, and even attempt to mend relationships with those who don’t. You have a core group of people who mean the world to you, and you spend as much time with them as you can. Becoming a teacher was an obvious choice, as it provides you with the tools you need to reach others. And while you’re a social creature by nature, you never turn down the opportunity to curl up with a good book.

Volunteer with family at least once a week

Generation Eight: “Archaeology is my passion”

Growing up, you were constantly surrounded by family and close friends who loved you. But you desire more than just the daily interaction with your family. Exploring the jungle is your passion and so is digging up old relics. You eventually create a store where you sell the things you have collected from your journey. Even though starting up your own business means you have to live with your parents longer than most of your friends, you don’t mind because it means you’re close to the people you love. In fact, closeness and similar interests cause you to fall in love with someone who accompanies you during your trips to Selvadorada, and they don’t mind that you can’t yet afford a place of your own. In your “spare time” (hah!), you enjoy photographing places near and far, searching for that perfect shot. Between trying to run a successful shop and your photography hobby, you’re not able to spend as much time with your children as you like. But that’s okay; you’re out there living your dreams.

Generation Nine: “Business-minded and musically-inclined”

Your parents worked hard for every penny that they earned, but you were just left feeling like they didn’t care about you as much as the expensive relics in their shop. Your grandparents are your closest friends while they’re still alive. After all, they practically raised you. As a young adult, you desire the family you feel you never had and start a family quickly…only to find out that you’re married to someone you don’t love as much as you should. You have a “responsible” 9-5 interior decorator job, but you also possess real musical talent. Even though you would never consider leaving your job, investing in your music is something you do quite regularly. You eventually remarry after finding real love, and enjoy the rest of your life mediating a mixed family. Will you find true happiness amidst the wealth and your demanding job?

Traits: Creative, Ambitious, Clumsy

Aspiration: Musical Genius

Hire and keep a butler

Eat out at a restaurant at least once per week

Generation Ten: “To the stars”

Objectively speaking, your life is great. You never really wanted for anything as a child. The overactive imagination that you possess lends itself perfectly to your love of space. You create a group with people who love the same things as you. The stars fascinates you, but more than anything you desire to find true love. So you find one in your club. You and your significant other would do anything just to discover the worlds unknown to simkind. It was your dream together. But when your significant other suddenly dies while tweaking with the rocket ship when you were young adults, you were devastated. You couldn't finish the rocket ship that you and your loved one had started. As you mourn, drinking becomes your method to quiet a broken heart and provide a false sense of peace. But at a time when your hope begins to lag, your decision to adopt a child despite your own childlessness is the final push you need to persevere. You eventually create the rocket ship and go to Sixam, bringing the love of your life's urn and placing it there as their final resting place. You go back to earth, and live the rest of your life in peace as you have succeeded in creating your own bittersweet ending following a long line of sims with odd stories: some happy, and some not.

is your game lacking some drama && cuteness? do you struggle coming up with your own storylines? don’t worry, i’ve got you. this challenge is perfect for those of you that take pleasure in the good, the bad and the downright ugly.

be prepared, you’re in for it. the drama doesn’t stop in this one. 

heavily inspired by melanie martinez songs coupled with some of my favorite colors, this is kind of like a berry challenge. but like melanie, we are wielding dual colors. each gen has two colors that will bleed into the next. you can utilize dual colors in multitudes of ways. you can create berry sims or normal sims, color coordinate their clothes and makeup, change up their hair colors. doesn’t matter as long as you use the two colors given to signal each generation.

tw; this challenge may cover topics that some are sensitive to. specifically cheating, death, gangs, neglected childhood, kidnapping, implied body dysmorphia.
