THE SWEETEST BERRY LEGACY

created by clumsy.romantic (previously strawberrysim/strawberrysimyt)

hi, so yes you may have already seen this posted to my account, and you're probably wondering "why is she posting this again?" (unless you already saw the mistake)...

i do in fact have one and a half brain cells and it took a friend to point out the mistake to me to realize i had put the same aspiration for 3 generations... oh boy...

anyhooooo~ here is a new updated version of the sweetest berry legacy challenge! now, if there still any mistakes here, or maybe you cannot see or read these images, you'll probably have a better time reading the google doc i made for it here.

thank you to all who have continued to support me here and on instagram i love you all very much and i appreciate every like, comment and reblog/share! it truly warms my heart every time that you all like my challenge that i worked my butt off on (let's not talk about my other challenges because this is the challenge i created first and is honestly my baby <333)

Sims In Bloom: Generation 2 Pt. 207 (Sulani Baby)

After a long day of travel and months of planning, the Gordons finally arrived in Sulani - with both adventurous dogs in tow! Night would soon fall over the lush islands, but travel fatigue couldn't stop them from checking in with Rafa, Melissa, and the new baby.

They were also ready to unload the baby gear they'd collected through Heather's registry, with much of it coming from her trusted friend, the mermaid Elucea Glynnan (and her Watcher @hashimasims!)

But Heather and Conrad were dismayed to find the forced trio struggling, and promised to help them set everything up once they'd settled into the rental. Happy to catch up, the kids hadn't seen Rafa and Melissa since Lilix's wedding, but everyone was surprised to learn the baby still had no name.

"We don't know what to call her," said Melissa with a frown. "Naming her ourselves doesn't feel like...We can't think of anything we like enough."

Heather frowned. This was a clear sign she wasn't bonding with the newborn they called 'the baby,' and her heart felt heavy for all three of them.

"What about Iris?" suggested Lavender with an innocent smile. "Mommy, you said you liked that name if Roan had been a baby sister but then you said you weren't having any more babies. Maybe this baby can have it!"

Rafa and Melissa nodded and shrugged. "Iris is nice," said Rafa, before Melissa excused herself to the bathroom. She maneuvered around gifted baby gear that filled their tiny beachfront shack, clearly worried about something and Heather noticed - but at least they were out of the shipwreck.

When Melissa emerged again, she looked at Rafa with a nauseated stare. "What is it?" he wondered. "Mel, what's wrong?"

She took a deep breath, showing him the positive pregnancy test through a fog of tears. "Rafa, I'm late. I'm pregnant."

The young officer's smile crumbled at the news. Raising his infant niece was hard enough. Even though they'd finally moved into a real home, they were barely coping with Ximena's daughter, and the thought of stuffing another helpless infant inside their clapboard walls made him feel sick to his stomach. "We were careful."

"We tried to be, but it's been so busy! I didn't mean for-."

"It's okay," said Rafa, but even he didn't seem to believe it. "We'll figure it out and make it work."

"Rafa, we shouldn't have to!" Melissa cried. "She - Iris? - she's not our baby."

"She's family."

Melissa sighed heavily, and Conrad looked between them with sympathy. "Kids are resilient, you guys. You can handle anything, and Heather and I will always be a phone call away."

They spent the evening with Rafa, Melissa, and the baby, enjoying the warm summer night and the sound of crickets through the open windows of their small four-room shack. But Melissa went to bed early in the spare room, and Rafa's head was clearly spinning.

Heather, on the other hand, had no trouble bonding with Iris, cuddling her and falling for her adorable coos until she fell asleep. Before heading back to the rental for the night, she and Conrad took a minute together in the bedroom.

"I really hoped they'd be doing better than they are," Heather said heavily. "And now they're having their own baby while barely coping..."

"You know I've always had faith in Rafa," Conrad said carefully. "But it's too much to ask him to raise Ximena's baby, too. They're too young."

Heather nodded slowly, with a glance to baby Iris sleeping peacefully in her bassinet. "Conrad, I think you might've been right when you said we should raise this baby. Now she's even got the girl's name I wanted thanks to Lavender...But could we really raise her and Ash in the same home? What if Ximena's ghost...?"

"We'd just need to take it one day at a time, but we're better equipped than Rafa and Melissa. We don't have to decide anything tonight, and we'll talk to Ash before anything's final."

They'd come to Sulani to deal with a curse and help a family friend, but now Heather felt sure they might return to the Bay with a new baby. ->

Gen 1 Start | Gen 1 Summary

Shout out to @itmeansiris who gave me permission to name a very important baby after her, without letting me spoil/warn that it was Ximena's baby. Bold! Though your name is too perfect for the In Bloom Challenge themes not to use at some point, I love collaborating with you and following your sim families through all their drama. Even though it's Ximena's baby, I hope you can find love for baby Iris!

Iris is a nature and colour name, which is why Heather had it in her back pocket. Colour, you say? Why yes, it's Greek for rainbow, the most colourful naturally-occurring phenomenon on Earth. And I have to give flowers (irises!) to @purplesimmer455 who took the clue of infant Roan's rainbow shirt foreshadowing future plot and guessed it had to do with a crossover with Iris. She was right about that, but didn't quite guess it would also be a VIP baby name. It was a layered clue!

And this is the room that @hashimasims sent me! I kept everything, including the custom Elucea artwork!!! My sims are so privileged, seriously. Thank you so much!

The Guts Legacy Challenge

Nearly three years to the day since I first posted the Sour Legacy Challenge and Guts is finalllllly ready for you (never thought I'd see the day) 😭🤘✨

Same drill as before: the rules are lax, make this your own, take it slow or fast, use lots of mods and cheats or don't, I don't care—my only hope is that this helps you tell a creative, chaotic story in our favorite little dollhouse game.

Note for gen 1: if you don't have the sticky fingers aspiration in your game, I recommend fabulously wealthy or mansion baron!

So, enjoy! And be sure to tag me and/or hashtag #gutslegacychallenge so I can see what you get up to.

xoxo, dizzywhims

p.s. i’ll try not to make you wait 1.5yrs next time olivia rodrigo blesses us with a new album 💀

Normally, Sebastian would be the first to raise an eyebrow if some kid tried handing flowers to his little princess—but Shiho was different. Seeing that shy smile bloom across Shiho’s face as he held out the small bouquet melted something in Sebastian. Instead of bristling, his heart swelled. It was good to see the boy opening up.

Also, I'm obsessed with his little canines. They're so cute

🔥 The Sims 4 Life & Death Legacy Challenge 🔥

Ready for a wild journey filled with love, death, and adventure? The Life & Death Legacy Challenge is here to push your Sims to their limits! 💀❤️ Each generation has unique challenges and goals that must be completed to carry on the legacy. But beware – this challenge won’t be easy, as it focuses on the thin line between life and death!

Rules:

You must complete each generation’s goals before moving on to the next one.

Your Sims must live in Ravenswood for the first 3 generations, setting the stage for a dark and twisted family history.

Murder and death play a central role in the challenge, but there are no cheats allowed to cause death (like MCCC or Testingcheats True).

A “bucket list” is crucial for some generations, and all tasks on the list must be completed before moving on.

You cannot make your Sims immortal (except for one specific generation that seeks immortality).

Each Sim must experience some form of tragedy or hardship, such as losing loved ones, facing poverty, or dealing with betrayal.

This challenge revolves around dark themes of life, loss, and redemption, creating a dramatic and emotional storyline for your Sims to live through. 😈 Can you guide your family through generations of trials, heartbreak, and perhaps even forbidden love with death itself? Use the #lifeanddeathlegacychallenge So i can see your legacy!

Good luck!

Cannot read the pictures well, try this!

If this challenge is nothing for you try this Legacy Challenge!

(EN) SIMS 4 Monster High Legacy Challenge!!!

Hi guys! First post on tumblr, kinda excited. For a long time I've been struggling with attempting new Sims 4 legacy challenges, as I couldn't find any that also go into newer packs. I've played Not So Berry a bunch of times (never actually finished lol), and it inspired me to go into a rabbithole of legacy challenges. Before we start, this challenge was inspired by a Sims 3 Monster High challenge made by simmingsamantha.tumblr.com.

🎶✨ Welcome to Mixtape Generations: The Legacy Challenge! ✨🎶

I'm so excited to share this legacy challenge I've been working on! Welcome to the Mixtape Generations. This legacy challenge encompasses all of my favourite gameplay objectives which I wanted to share with the Sims community! They may be ones you love too or ones you don't normally play.

This challenge is based upon Vibes & Fame. Each generation is a Mixtape, a genre with a story and a completely different vibe. The idea is that each generations sim, persona, styles and attitude is in the vibe of the Mixtape Genre.

Each Mixtape Generation has their traits, career, aspiration, relationship, babies and fame requirements. Then come the Rules. There are the Rules and then the Hidden Tracks which are rules that make the game trickier, weirder, wackier or more exciting.

I've created 10 visual graphics of the Mixtape Generations but here is a link for the text post which has more detailed storylines and information.

I'm also going to make Sims for each generation that will be available in the gallery or in a Patreon Collection.

Please tag me and Mixtape Generations if you play!

There’s nothing Short n’ Sweet about this challenge 🤭 Although I did try to make it shorter by pairing two songs together. Most of the songs from the album are sad, which led to some very romantically tragic (but dare I say realistic) generations. If you get bored of the "perfect household", this challenge is for you!

CLICK HERE FOR THE FULL WRITTEN RULES 💋

(I recommend you to read the written rules, as it was a struggle to write the goals in these tiny little rectangles. There's also a base game version available below ⬇️)

Keep Reading for the Base Game Version ⬇️

The written base game rules are in the same link I provided above ⬆️

Let me know if you notice any mistakes in these graphics I made. I kept changing the written rules and I might've forgotten to change something in these. I've checked, but I've honestly been so tired lately that I keep on forgetting things and making mistakes 😩

[tomatosoupcat]

I made a lil graphic version for BTT made by @malixacc ฅ^ >ヮ<^₎ Have fun playing everyone!

[mariapaulaaah]

The horse neighed, it seemed nostalgic and Akemi felt her chest tighten. Even though he was well taken care of, he wasn't happy there.

Akemi: I think I'll end up getting involved in another rescue mission, this time with a horse. Who needs a name [smiles seeing the curious horse] how about… Saoirse? It means freedom.

Saorise: [neighs with a smile, approving] "I like that name"

Akemi: Then it will be that. I have to go home and plan how to get you out of this house, but I promise to do my best.

As soon as Akemi returned to Chestnut, Colten was waiting for her at the door of the house and didn't seem very happy.

Colten: Don't you think it's a little late?

Akemi: Maybe…? I went after Wren and then I found Saorise and…

Colten: Saorise? [shakes head, ignoring this] Akemi, I went to work and when I got home I saw a note on the fridge saying that you dropped the kids off at daycare and went after a horse! I'm not going to stop you from going out and having adventures, but you could have texted me, you know? I wouldn't be upset!

Akemi: I know, I know… I'm sorry. It won't happen again.

Colten: No?

Akemi: Of course not. It wasn't right of me, so what do you say I make up for it by suggesting a trip? After the competition this week, we're going to the top of Mount Komorebi. Just the four of us and lots of snow.

Colten: Okay… that sounds like a good idea.

Akemi: Let's enjoy a family trip.

PREVIOUS 《🐎》 NEXT

Translation below (PT-BR)

O corcel relinchou, parecia saudoso e Akemi sentiu o peito apertar. Mesmo sendo bem cuidado, ele não estava feliz ali.

Akemi: Acho que vou acabar me metendo em outra missão de resgate, dessa vez com um cavalo. Que precisa de um nome [sorri vendo o corcel curioso] que tal… ​Saoirse​? Significa liberdade.

Saorise: [relincha com um sorriso, aprovando] “Eu gostei desse nome”

Akemi: Então será esse. Tenho que ir pra casa e planejar como tirar você dessa casa, mas prometo dar o meu melhor.

Assim que Akemi voltou a Chestnut, Colten a esperava na porta de casa e não parecia muito feliz.

Colten: Não acha que está um pouco tarde?

Akemi: Talvez…? Eu fui atrás do Wren e depois encontrei o Saorise e…

Colten: Saorise? [balança a cabeça ignorando isso] Akemi, eu fui trabalhar e quando cheguei vejo um bilhete na geladeira dizendo que você deixou as crianças na creche e foi atrás de um cavalo! Eu não vou te impedir de sair e se aventurar por aí, mas podia ter mandado uma mensagem, sabia? Eu não ficaria chateado!

Akemi: Eu sei, eu sei… desculpa. Não vai acontecer de novo.

Colten: Não?

Akemi: Claro que não. Não foi certo da minha parte, então o que me diz de eu compensar sugerindo uma viagem? Depois da competição desta semana, vamos até o topo do Monte Komorebi. Só nós quatro e muita neve.

Colten: Tudo bem… parece uma boa ideia.

Akemi: Vamos aproveitar uma viagem em família.

Sims In Bloom: Generation 2 Pt. 208 (First Day in Paradise)

Heather was up at dawn on the first full day in Sulani, and she set to work in the rental kitchen making Eggs Benedict as sunrise streamed through the open villa. The recipe was something she'd never made from scratch, but she was feeling ambitious and they weren't in their usual morning rush.

While she focused on the stove, glowing blue forms floated throughout the bamboo walls of the rental. Ash rolled over as sleep left him, groggily ignoring the island spirits. They weren't as human as ghosts and hadn't tried to speak to him, but by their colouring, Ash knew they were friendly and left them to it.

The Gordons were on their land, after all, and the spirits had every right to move freely through the tropical jungle at any pace they wanted, whether modern vacation rentals stood in their path or not.

Heather maxed out gourmet cooking when the Eggs Benny was done (for real instead of in the second save with Reaper Reward bonuses! She can make ambrosia again, but we need the ingredients), and the scent of eggs, bacon, and hollandaise wafted on the tropical breeze.

Soon, everyone was awake, making plans for their first day in paradise while they enjoyed breakfast as a family.

It was a perfect day, with a cloudless blue sky and just enough breeze, so the family decided to go to the public beach at the other end of Ohan'ali Town.

They finished breakfast and headed down the hill with both dogs, posing for a family portrait before the sands were too crowded with people. And they did get crowded when rumour spread down the beach that a real Del Sol Valley celebrity was sunning himself near the surfboards.

But if he wasn't a mermaid, none of the Gordons were all that interested. And Heather's clinic subscribed to enough tabloids (like @deardiaryts4 Inc.'s Simblr magazine!) for the waiting room that she knew he was probably just a human.

Lavender might've jumped for a celeb like Devin Villarreal or her sister, Deanna York, but building sandcastles with Roan took priority. Conrad watched them on shore while Ash and Heather rented snorkel gear to explore the reef inside the lagoon.

(Thorne Bailey was on the beach and so were the paps, but I shot around him cuz the Bailey-Moons probably won't be canon for another generation or two!)

Conrad caught up with Oliana Ngata, the woman who rented out most holiday villas in Sulani. They hadn't spoken since she and her son helped him find Rafa at the shipwreck years earlier and he'd closed the case on the murder of George and June Brindleton.

Oliana caught him up on life in the tropics - much quieter without the Brindletons spending every winter making too many demands, but at the same time, much louder since she and her wife had welcomed a new baby.

But the wife to whom she was wed when Conrad first met her, Leila Illes, wasn't her wife anymore. "Our relationship wasn't built to last," admitted Oliana. "We tried for a while, but eventually she moved out and we realized we were happier."

Her new wife had been born and raised on the mainland, and visited Sulani after university. Oliana called their romance "a whirlwind" and gushed about love. "And Tane really loves his new sister," she said with a proud smile. "Divorce was hard, but finding love and family again made all the pain worth it."

"I'm happy for you," said Conrad. "Sounds like a real happy ever after."

Oliana grinned. "Fairies might be as real as mermaids, after all, but life's not a fairy tale, Mr. Gordon. Ever after implies the story ever really ends, but true love feels eternal. And it always takes hard work."

Conrad liked the way that sounded, glancing toward the water where his wife dove to admire schools of fish in the turquoise sea. They'd had their share of drama over the years, but Heather and Conrad's love had proven time and again it was stronger than any trouble that might try to find them.

Their adoration for one another was undying; steadfast and true. Even now, as they faced an uncertain future with possible adoption and all the challenges innocent Iris might bring, they knew they'd get through it as a team. Just as they always had.

Thanks to the perfect weather, the family spent most of the day on the beach, until Heather took a tired and cranky Roan back to the rental for an afternoon nap.

Conrad stayed at the beach while Lavender hung out on the swings and Ash lounged on an inflatable. When Conrad waded into the water for a swim, Ash woke from his nap to join him.

"Can I ask a question about baby Iris?"

"Anything," Conrad told him.

"You and mom want to adopt her, don't you? I overheard you talking last night at Rafa and Melissa's place because the windows don't have any glass."

Conrad's stomach dropped, and he paddled faster to keep from sinking with it. He'd hoped Heather would lead this conversation, but he wouldn't lie to his stepson. "We've talked about it, but we haven't decided anything. We weren't going to decide without talking to you guys, first."

"Do you think Ximena's ghost will come for us if you adopt her baby?"

"I hope not. But now that she's dead, if her ghost wants to come for us then she will one way or another, won't she? And I'm still trying to figure out the best way to protect you from ghosts I can't see, but you know I'll do anything to keep you safe. Just like always."

"What if I'm cursed? What if my curse puts her in danger?"

"You're not cursed. I still believe that. Lavender and Roan aren't in danger around you, either. But if you are somehow cursed, you know your mother and I will stop at nothing to break it for you."

"When do we need to decide?"

"There's no deadline, but the sooner we make space for Rafa and Melissa to raise their own baby, it's probably better for everyone."

Ash nodded. "I know Lavender would be happy with a little sister, but can we think about it for a few days?"

"Of course we can. And I want you to know it's okay for you to say no. It's always okay to say no."

Ash paddled to shore with a mischievous smirk for his stepdad before his feet touched the sand.

"I know," he said, already half out of the water. "Last out has to clean up after the dogs the rest of the trip. Pretty sure I saw Captain Whitaker eating a plant that'll make his poop green!" ->

*STAR SIGN LEGACY CHALLENGE (BASE GAME VERSION) ☆ﾟ*･｡*･

The original challenge and rules are from @ginovasims. I only adapted it to base game. You can find the original rules here: https://ginovasims.tumblr.com/starsignchallenge

And big thanks to Hope for helping me edit it <3

I have copied some of the rules below for your convenience.

·  A twelve generation legacy challenge based on the twelve signs of the zodiac. Each generation will have a different set of goals and requirements before the new heir takes over.

Rules:

Aging must be turned on, but you can have it at any length you wish (I recommend long but it is entirely your choice).

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

You cannot give the sims dramatic makeovers or personality adjustments. Slight changes to the appearance are fine but they can’t be made into a whole new sim.

NO MONEY CHEATS.

If you do this challenge, please credit @ginovasims.

Vague guidelines/suggestions:

Heir can be any gender, they don’t have to be female. They can also be any sexuality. 

Children don’t have to be genetic, they can be adopted, BUT they must be adopted as a baby/toddler.

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) I have assigned each generation a colour, you don’t have to follow this at all, or you can only use it as much as you want. You don’t need a whole yellow house with a sim only dressed in yellow, for example. It’s up to you!

(OPTIONAL) I have also given every generation a different theme to name their children. Again, this is all optional and you can ignore this, I just thought it would be fun and add a little extra challenge by coming up with different names you might not always use.

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

———————————————————————————————————

THE GENERATIONS

Generation 1 - Aries

You have always been an independent and confident person. Even since childhood, you knew what you wanted to do and had a plan to get there. You dreamed of becoming- no, you WOULD become a businessman/woman. You wouldn’t let anything get in your way and put all your efforts into climbing to the top in the world of business. You make friends with like-minded people and bump heads with those you don’t get on with as well. Your main issue is that you have never liked it when people tell you what to do. You often get easily frustrated when you think people are saying that you’re unable to do something. You never turn down a challenge and have always been extremely passionate about all of your interests. Anything bold and daring, you’d try it. You live for a life of thrills, always in action. You have always been loyal, sticking by your friends through thick and thin. It’s the same in relationships. In your eyes, love is built on trust and loyalty, and you would never forget this. You will always fight for what you believe is right and support the people you love, no matter what.

Requirements:

Any partner must be a good friend before you start romancing them

Never cheat on a partner

You must never initiate a breakup or divorce, but your partner can if it fits the story

Master fitness skill 

Have at least two tattoos

Dye your hair a bright color at least twice in your YA life

Reach at least level 7 of the business career

Reach at least level 3 of the Bodybuilder aspiration

Optional Requirements: 

Woohoo in 3 different locations (hot tub, rocket ship, backyard observatory)

Make sure you have enough household funds to give your heir 30k when they move out

Reach level 10 of the business career 

Complete the Bodybuilder aspiration 

Give children winter themed names

Traits: Hot-headed, Loyal, Active 

Aspiration: Bodybuilder

Career: Business (managment branch)

Colour: Navy Blue

Generation 2 - Taurus

You grew up close to your parents and, because of their hot-headed nature, you have quite a short temper as well, and your problems can often seem trivial. The smallest things can offset your balance and get inside your head. But that’s okay, because you’ve found something to help you cope and distract you: food. You love to cook. Whenever you get stressed, you go to the kitchen and let all your frustration out into your cooking. And it pays off, your food is incredible. You spent your teen years cooking and dreaming about a future doing the same. Your dream is to one day become a master chef, but you need to make a name for yourself in the cooking industry first. Starting from the bottom won’t be easy, but you know you have the drive and the talent to make it. Nothing will stop you from achieving your dream. Even though you had a really close relationship with your parents, they did work a lot, meaning you spent a lot of time home alone.

Generation 3 - Gemini

Being a twin, you always feel like you have to try harder to carve your own personality. You and your twin aren’t the same person, just because you look the same. You are unique and will prove that to everyone, in the most dramatic and fun ways you can think of. You’re a bold and confident person who wants to stand out, in every sense. You always worked hard in school, but it came easy to you to get good grades. You’re a natural genius, and aren’t afraid to show off and boast about it. You have a variety of friends and enjoy meeting new people, and you’ve never been afraid to experiment with fun and different styles or hobbies. Because of your parent’s hot-headed attitude and their frequent freaking out at little things, you’ve become a bit unpredictable as well. No one knows what mood you’ll be in, or how you’ll react to things. You enjoy this though, you like that people see you as an enigma. Life would be boring without a bit of spontaneity! It’s the same with your work life, and in romance too. You can’t settle in one job for a long time; you always get bored and want to try something new. You’re no different with relationships. You never really have a serious, long-term partner. It’s not that you aren’t interested in romance, it’s more that the idea of exploring new romances and people excites you more than settling down with one partner forever. You have always been inspired by your grandparent’s love of adventure. You want to explore different cultures, try new things, and be courageous! But can you keep up with this lifestyle forever?

*Generation 4 - Cancer

You’re never able to fully settle as a child due to your parent’s erratic ways and brash decisions. Your life is often uprooted by moving houses so you never feel fully stable or like you fit in anywhere. You feel like you never really had any true friends growing up; you always have to leave them behind when your parent decides it’s time for a change of scenery. You try to stay in touch online, playing games with them and chatting, but it isn’t the same as being with them in person. Your parents always love you and treat you well, but you can’t help but dream of having a ‘normal’ family. With parents who live together and living in a forever home. You have always wanted this life for yourself. But when you get it, you realise that this ‘normal’ family isn’t everything. Things aren’t as easy as they always seemed. Your partner has been keeping secrets from you, and you find out in the worst way possible. Absolutely distraught and heartbroken, you begin to put all your effort and love solely into your children, often forgetting to care for yourself. Your children are innocent in this and you won’t let them suffer because of your partner’s mistakes. It takes you a while to get over the pain they caused you, but, eventually, you are able to pick yourself up and find a new focus in life. Your children will always come first. You decide to join the tech guru career. Over time, you learn that the main thing in life is having people who love and support you, and just because a family isn’t always together, it doesn’t mean it’s broken.

Generation 5 - Leo

Your life is never the same since one of your parent’s cheated on the other. The previous heir would give you and your siblings extra attention, and you lap it up. You know you were always spoiled as a child, and you never go without something you want. Despite all this, you do truly appreciate everything they do for you to try and give you a happy childhood. They teach you to be selfless and pure, and you keep these values in mind through your whole life. You aren’t a selfish person at all, you just know your worth and won’t let anyone treat you any less than that. Throughout your childhood, you have a passion for the arts. You’re always doing something to creatively express yourself. Anytime you have the opportunity to be the center of attention, you take it. You always knew you wanted to be known in the world, but would never give up on your creative hobbies for the sake of your career. You use your creative mind to post style vlogs. The more you post, the more your following grows, and your fame is quick to follow. Before you know it, you have paparazzi following you around and screaming fans chasing you, and you love every second of it. You adjust well to the celebrity lifestyle, and live a life of luxury with your equally famous partner and children. Who said you couldn’t have it all?

Generation 6 - Virgo

You never really fit into the famous lifestyle you were brought up with, it didn’t feel like you. You didn’t appreciate being in the public eye and couldn’t wait to move out and stop being known as the famous child of the social media celebrity that is your parent. While the rest of your family would rather be outside, followed by fans and paparazzi, you had always much preferred being home, tucked up with a good book. You still had a good relationship with your parents growing up, but felt like they unintentionally put extra pressure on you to be the best. The whole world watched you grow up, so they would know if you put a toe out of line. You always worked hard to avoid this embarrassment, for both yours and your parents’ sake. Having famous and rich parents meant that you had so much handed to you growing up. A lot of people would have loved this, but you hate it. You want to make your own life and create your own path, without your parents’ help or money. You were never interested in romance or love, but you love the idea of being a parent. You heard about how your great-grandparent had your grandparent with a friend, and the two would co-parent to raise them. This inspired you, and you realised you didn’t need a partner to be a parent. And so that is what you do. You and a close friend agree to raise a baby together, in a completely platonic relationship. The child would still grow up in a supported and loving home, and no one said that there had to be romance involved to look after a baby together. You provide them with anything they need, just as your parents had done for you. Except you would create and make everything for them, not just buy it with a celebrity status, and you always make sure it was perfect for your little angel.

*Generation 7 - Libra

Growing up in a home built solely by your parent made you appreciate every detail, you knew that everything you owned was built with love. You never took a possession for granted, and would always relish in new items and objects. Your parent was a perfectionist so you knew that everything in your house would be of excellent quality, and this was what you’d grown to expect, in every walk of life; excellent quality. Since your parent cut themselves off from fame and fortune, you never knew your grandparent as a child. As a teenager, you became curious about your extended family, so your parent introduced you. It was easy to see that you had a lot more in common with your grandparent than your parent. You loved their life of luxury, especially how posh and expensive everything was. You knew you wanted a life like this. You always had a strong sense of right and wrong, and relished in honesty and truth. You decided you would join a business career. Plus, the job paid well so you’d be able to afford your luscious dream home. Your best friend as a child came from a wealthy family, so you bonded over your love of materialistic goods. When you became teens, you saw each other in a whole new light. You started dating and everything seemed perfect for a long time. Until, a matter of days before your birthday, something happens for you to break up with each other. You were both devastated but knew it was for the best. You had a few more serious relationships after your breakup, but none of them felt right. You eventually bumped into your first love again, and rekindled the relationship. This time, the love between you both was stronger than ever and you knew you’d met your soulmate. You live out the rest of your days in a luxurious house, full of materialistic goods, growing old together.

Generation 8 - Scorpio

You always loved hearing about your parents’ love story and dreamed of having one yourself. Two childhood friends who fell in love and always found their way back to each other, what’s more romantic than that? As a teenager, your romantic relationships never worked that well. The other sim never quite lived up to your expectations. You wanted them to be perfect, and they weren’t. What made it worse was that your older sibling seemed to find the perfect partner while you were both at school. How was that fair? Not only that, they had better grades than you, and more friends. Anything you could do, they could do better. You were both given the exact same opportunities as children and raised the same, so it seemed wrong that they were better than you. But the one thing they couldn’t take from you was your music. That was the only thing you knew you were better at than them. Through your teen years, when you weren’t stuck on bad dates, you were in your room playing one of your instruments. When you became a young adult, you and your sibling cut ties and didn’t really interact with each other at all. You were also still on the hunt for a perfect partner. You continue to date around, but are faced with failure. How could it be so hard to find someone to love? You eventually decide to put your dating life on hold and focus on yourself. You have always enjoyed being active and sporty but never really concentrated on it as you were so preoccupied with dating and your music. But since you weren’t dating, you could bring your attention back to fitness. Lo and behold, you bumped into someone at the gym. Someone you never expected to be interested in. Someone so different from you and your family. But this sim captured your interest and really excited you. Could it be the love you were looking for all along? After your engagement and career success, you decided it was about time you made amends with your sibling. You realised that happiness didn’t come from other people and there was no use comparing yourself to them. Happiness comes from within and you strive to become the best version of yourself.

*Generation 9 - Sagittarius 

Being an only child meant you always had your parents’ attention, and you loved it. You weren’t a difficult child but you were very playful and never took things too seriously. At school, you were known as the class clown and never put too much effort into your studies. You loved parties.  Drinking, partying, exploring yourself. Getting juiced at clubs and spending your nights with strangers, anything to have a bit of fun. You made money by doing some part time jobs. Things went on like this for a while, until one night, something changed. You were expecting a baby with a random stranger. And they didn’t want the baby. Even though it wasn’t anything you’d anticipated ever wanting, the idea of having a child of your own felt… nice. You agreed that you would take the baby in and raise them by yourself, without the other parent. You saw it as a sign that it was time for you to grow up and mature. You had to support this new little person who only had you to rely on, and you refused to let them down. You stopped partying as frequently and spoke to your parent about a job in the entertainer industry. They made it big playing music, and you had always loved all the songs you’d heard at the clubs through the years. You wanted to produce your own tracks, and it meant you could still spend some evenings out doing your standup routines. You might never be the picture-perfect and most organised parent, but you’d do everything in your power to provide for your child.

Requirements:

Never achieve more than a B grade at school 

Go out to a nightclub or host a party every night in your early YA life

Generation 10 - Capricorn

You never really understood why your parent chose to live their life the way they did. No order, no plans, just doing whatever they felt like in the moment. You loved them, but you had very different belief systems and the pair of you often had arguments about these disagreements. They did what they could to provide for you, but you couldn’t help but question if it was enough. They never got a real job or fully settled down, and you felt a bit embarrassed that you were brought up in your grandparent’s house since they never bought their own home. You decided early on that you would strive to be better than the legacy they left behind. You would work towards big achievements, in both your professional and personal life. You decided that when you have children, you would always do whatever you could to help them achieve and set them up for success. You started by thinking about where your parent went wrong, and worked hard to do better. You’d get As in school. The idea of getting juiced and woohooing with strangers was something you decided you’d never do. Everything you would do, you wanted to do it properly and like a real adult. Your children would learn to be responsible and have a parent they can fully rely on. You always had an appreciation for the finer things in life, and would often be seen turning your nose up at whatever seemed below you. You didn’t have the most friends because of this, partly because you never saw them being as good as you, and partly because no one liked your attitude. You didn’t mind though, you wouldn’t want to be seen with anyone or anything lower than your worth. Why settle for anything less?

*Generation 11 - Aquarius

You grew up in the city and never felt like you truly belonged there. It felt too chaotic and crowded, full of fake people pretending to be happy. At least, that’s what it seemed like to you, because you were never happy there. You felt drawn to the place with warm climate. So with your childhood best friend, your only friend, you decided to move to the Oasis Spring at the first chance you could. You always had a passion for plants, always making sure that your garden looks healthy. So you started selling things that you grown. In the loud hustle and bustle of the night life, you could escape by focusing solely on your paintings. Watching the brush swirl on canvas. Whenever you were stressed or tense, you would go back to painting. You met someone who you’d never seen in the small town before.

*Generation 12 - Pisces 

Growing up you were always connected with natural world. You grow up playing in your parent’s garden and watching the pother parent paint. So you developed love for both those things. Any way you could express yourself creatively, you would try it. You were a free spirited child,used to the expensive outdoors, so you tend to be really clumsy. As a teenager, after trying many different hobbies, you found that your true calling and passion was for art. You loved to paint and craft things. It was never your plan to sell your art or become famous, you just wanted to create. And create you did. Your home was covered in your artwork. Your parent couldn’t be more proud of the caring and artistic person you’d become. So you began to think, why care what others think? What’s the point in over-thinking and becoming paranoid about people judging you? You would always have your family and animals there for you, no matter what, and that was all you needed.
