Planting Plums Legacy Challenge by Plumbie and The Plum Family

Do you enjoy wholesome family gameplay, storytelling and the cosy side of The Sims 4? If so, the Planting Plums Legacy Challenge is for you.

My Inspiration For the Challenge:

My favourite aspect of The Sims is the family gameplay and all the stories that can arise from it. I love using the game as a vessel for telling stories, with that in mind, I thought I would create a legacy challenge built around all my favourite things in the game.

Each generation will have a focus on cosy and wholesome gameplay, primarily focusing on big families, but this doesn’t mean it will shy away from drama. It wouldn’t be realistic if I weren’t to include some sort of tension, so in each generation there will be conflicts but they will be mild and used in order to add depth to the family.

What Makes it Different:

One thing that separates this legacy challenge from the usual one is that I’ll be writing it one generation at a time. I’m doing this because I want to build this legacy with my community (the Plum family) on YouTube so that the Sims and stories will be a joint effort, making it a unique legacy due to the many inputs. It also means the story will grow organically, as it won’t necessarily be planned. This doesn’t mean you can’t take part in this legacy until we’ve reached the final generation because I’ve created the first generation, and we can play alongside as we grow the legacy.

The goal for this legacy challenge is to create a beautiful family that you’ll fall in love with and cherish all the members, even the troublesome ones. If this sounds like something you’d want to be part of, you can always comment, email or DM me your ideas for the legacy, as this is a community effort. So, let’s begin growing the family that will be known as the Plumtrees. 🌱🌸

General Rules & Packs Needed:

There won’t be any rules for this legacy challenge, as I want storytelling to be the focus point of it, but I’d recommend only using cheats if you absolutely need to use them, as sometimes, there is more fun and imagination in the limitations.

As of right now, you’ll need Cottage Living, Seasons and Get to Work. But if you don’t have these packs, feel free to adapt the challenge in your own way so that you can participate. Keep in mind the list of packs needed will grow bigger once the third generation is born.

Generation I: The Plum Seed

Some of your earliest memories were of running around your grandmother’s bakery, helping her bake all sorts of treats. You always said you’d take over her business when you were older, but sadly, when you were a child, she passed away, and your family couldn’t afford to keep the bakery.

As you became older, your passion shifted from baked goods to flowers. You found great comfort in creating all sorts of bouquets and writing down the different varieties of flowers, as they gave you the purpose you lost after your grandmother passed.

Growing up in a city meant nature was scarce; you spent time after school wandering around botanical gardens and finding wildflowers in the concrete, but this wasn’t enough, so the moment you became a young adult, you made the daring decision to move to an old cottage in Henford on Bagley.

Towering buildings and busy streets have been all you’ve ever known, so living in the sticks is going to take some getting used to, but as you stand on the doorstep of a new life, with baskets full of flowers, notebooks, baking ingredients and a dream to open a florist in the heart of the village, you feel that a slip in the mud won’t bother you a single bit.

Make yourself a mug of hot chocolate, and let's have a chat about the current state of my channel, my thoughts on The Sims 4 and the new chapter I will be starting with my videos.

[plumbieyt]

i don’t know if you’ll remember this but when you made the create a sim video for your werewolves lets play i commented that one of the dogs you made shares the same name as my hamster moony. in case you did remember i thought i’d share a picture of her a few days after i got her :)

and if you’re wondering in that photo my hamster did have enough saw dust she just used to have a thing for moving it around 😅 she’s also really fast so i don’t have many clear photos of her, sorry about that!!

She's the cutest thing I've ever seen!! 🥺Thank you for sharing this picture of her. ❤️

It was such good fun creating the Hobbits Miss Goldenrod and Mr Tearoot in my last stream on Twitch. 🍻

Orcs next...? 👀

[plumbieyt]

i’m not sure if you take requests but would you consider doing a name ideas video? i struggle to pick mainly last names for my sims and find a lot of yours lovely :)

This sounds like such a fun video idea! I'm always open to video suggestions.

My main method is naming sims after botanical things and edible things haha. I also love hobbit names and fantasy names, so I take inspiration from that too.

The Honeybrews were actually named after the Honningbrew Meadery in Skyrim. ;)

These are the first couple of screenshots of my Middle Earth Elves collab with @buetiez! 🧝🌕

I adore Middle Earth and the lotr books and films, so I had such a magical time creating Glamorel and Súre.

Big shoutout to the lovely viewers on my stream the other day who helped me find Elven cc along with helping create the Elves. The breathtaking Rivendell build I used to take these screenshots in was created by @thesimscrolls on the gallery.

The wedding didn't go as planned because it started hailing! Despite the weather forecast saying it would be sunny.

Either way, they had a wonderful time!

[plumbieyt]

Preparing herself for the wedding! 👰 They are throwing it in their backyard, mainly for money reasons but also because they love their home and want the special day to be there.
