#awesimsauce

[simminnikas]

It's the littlest Borealis' birthday!

SN: No pics to share of Deni with Clem. He was at work most of the time and too tired to interact with her. Also, I don't think I snapped any.

Little Clementine is no longer an object baby.

Sims 4 Awesimsauce

Some of you may remember the Awesimsauce challenge. It originated with the sims 2. I believe @katwhispurrer and @engramplays were some of the origininators. 

The Sims 3 version was adapted by me. So it felt like maybe I should adapt the sims 4 version as well. Huge thanks to Kasia and @gerbits

Here is the working model right now. If you have any suggestions please let me know!

Basic Rules

Standard legacy rules apply. 

Like the original legacy, no cheats are allowed.

Limit of 2 children per generation. No trying to force twins or triplets.

Your heir must have a wedding party.

Sim’s last name must be related to the rainbow/color in some way (it can be as random and obscure as you would like).

Sim’s first name must be somehow related to the color assigned to that generation.

Each generation is based on a different color and the color must be present and obvious in some way (make-up, dress, hair color, house décor, etc.)

Each generation has a specific challenge(s) based on the color of that generation. When playing that generation please make sure you meet all parts of the challenge (when possible)!

Generation Challenges

Generation One

Color: Blue

Challenge: Depth and Stability

What is a building without a good foundation? Generation One is tasked with building a lasting foundation for all future generations. Specifically a house (with or without a foundation).

This generation HAS to have one of the traditional jobs. This can be an active job like doctor or scientist (Get To Work) but can not be Freelancer or Part Time! I’m also going to say no to vlogging. If you want your sim to be a musician they must follow the Entertainer career track.

By the time this generation hits elder they should have a ‘complete’ house. This means at least 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, living room, dining room and kitchen (a large eat in kitchen is also fine).

For an added challenge why not tack on the Renovation Challenge by @simbeeps (might need to modify it slightly because of the job, but still fun!).

Also your founder must have either a family oriented or wealth oriented lifetime goal (to start, once they complete it, go do you).

Generation Two

Color: Orange

Challenge: Creativity

Orange is a bright and happy color. It is full of energy and can even convince the laziest person to get off their butt. It is even known to incite creativeness in even the most “un-creative people”. Thus for the orange generation it is all about creativity.

Money may only be made by novels/painting/music/woodworking or by the freelance career

This time they CAN be a vlogger if you want.

Must be at level 10 for one instrument. DJ can count towards this as well.

If you’re into it this would be a cool generation to open a gallery/restaurant. 

Generation Three

Color: Charcoal

Challenge: Activity

Charcoal is the color of strength! This generation your sim wants to get SWOLE. Let’s hit the mats or something sporty like that.

OPTION 1: (Base Game Compatible)

To make money you have a choice between Athlete, Secret Agent, or Astronaut career path.

Your heir must have level 10 fitness skill. Also a level 10 wellness skill (spa day required).

Your heir must complete the body builder lifetime goal.

OPTION 2: (Strangerville Required.)

If you’re not into the whole athlete thing complete the Strangerville storyline! Saving a city is a def show of strength!

Or if you’re not civically inclined, pursue the Military career (don’t need to live in Strangerville but if you do, you could solve the mystery AND complete the Military career for double the fun!)

Generation 4

Color: Green

Challenge: Money, Money, Money

Green is the color of money, and this generation your sims are all about those sweet simoleons. It’s time to make sure this family has cash in the bank! It is in honor of the founder that we work hard (or hardly work? If you’re making bank, who cares!)

Reach Top of 2 Career Tracks. Business, Criminal or Tech are some really good themed options!

Must have ‘materialistic’ trait. 

Klepto and Snob traits are also fun options.

Must have at least 100k in the bank by the time they reach elder.

For this I’m going to say it’s on top of what you already have. So when they become YA if they’ve got 60k in the bank then they need 160k when they become elder. This is 100k of their own making.

Definitely must complete one of the wealth aspirations now if you didn’t in gen 1.

Must also own another lot. It could be a business from previous gens, or you could just build and buy a park. I don’t care, man, just DIVERSIFY.

Generation Five

Color: Purple

Challenge: Royalty

In many cultures purple represents a position of royalty. In this generation your sims will be treated like royalty and have their needs met as though they were a king or queen. The dark days are over, now it’s time to sit back and enjoy life. 

Good thing the previous gen worked so hard, because this generation can NOT make any money themselves.

Must fulfill at least one whim per day for each sim

Heir must not be forced to do any “chores” (washing, taking out the trash, scrubbing toilets). Those activities are meant for lesser sims. 

If you have Parenthood Stuff, try and get your sim to have some negative personality traits like low self control.

Royal Sim parents only do the fun stuff with their children! I’m going to allow for toddler traits since most are done as play. I’ll leave potty training up to you. No learning boring things like saying please and thank you though!

Purple sims only play with their kids. If you want the next gen to learn to be they’ll have to do it on their own or from some other family members.

Must have a butler and nanny.

Generation Six

Color: Brown

Challenge: Down to Earth

Disgusted with the ways of the previous generation you have decided to return to the earth! This generation is looking for a simpler way of life that doesn’t come with all the opulence and waste of the previous generations.

OPTION 1: BGC

Only make money from harvest/dug up/foraged/fished items. You can sell them from inventory or set up a stall at the market.

If you have seasons you can also make money from Flower Arranging.

Must have full gardening skill as well as herbalism (outdoor retreat required)

Must complete one of the nature aspirations.

Must grow at least 1 of every kind of plant. This includes plants from other worlds depending on the EPs you have.

Gotta have that ‘Loves The Outdoors’ trait!

OPTION 2: Sulani (Island Living required)

Join the conservationist career track.

Still have to have the ‘loves the outdoors’ trait.

Clean up Sulani! That means get the island to level 3.

Generation Seven

Color: Yellow

Challenge: The Pursuit of Hope

Yellow can symbolize hope. What better way to represent that than the hope of setting out learning everything you can in the world. This generation is concentrated on their intellect. 

Pick one of those knowledge based aspirations!

Yellow generation is all about helping others, so make sure they are reading to their kids, helping with homework and school projects.

It could be fun if this was the first generation to attend college, but that’s really up to you!

Must hit level 10 in logic, handiness, programming, and rocket science.

Also Archaeology if you have Jungle Adventure

Parenting if you have Parenthood

If you have Jungle Adventure and your heir fancies themselves as an Indiana Jones type of scholar why not complete the temple.

If you’re going this route make sure to get ALL the relics.

What use is being smart if you can’t show off? Build a seperate room in your home to act as a library. Display items you got from adventuring or just a lot of books. 

Generation Eight

Color: Red

Challenge: Fiery Passion

It is no secret that red is the color of passion, of love and of explosive things. Those who love red are often extremely ambitious, but slightly reckless. This generation is all about living with heat and flying by the seat of your pants!

Must have either the Hot Headed or Jealous trait.

Siblings shouldn’t get along, big personalities often clash.  

Must use either the rude or flirty introductions when meeting new people.

5 Lovers simultaneous lovers (Who don’t know about each other)

Must Woohoo in each kind of public location

At least one enemy! (or ten!)

Any money making path is available for this gen, things like secret agent, criminal, or law could be fun and on theme but aren’t required.

Generation Nine

Color: Pink

Challenge: The Glamour Life!

Only the most glamorous sims can wear pink! This generation is all about living the high life. If you’re the most glamorous sim in town then everyone should know your name.

Top Celebrity Status (Get Famous required)

Reach the top of the Entertainer or Fashion Stylist career (base game)

Acting (Get Famous)

Fashion photographer (Moschino)

Glamorous sims are the height of fashion! The heir will change outfits every other day.

This is generation nine, by now you should be living in the biggest house in town. Make sure you’ve got your mansion going!

Generation Ten

Color: White

Challenge: A Return to the Basics

It’s been ten generations since you started and now it’s time to return. Return to tradition and building a foundation for the next set of sims. Go back at complete generation 1’s challenges all over. You earned it.

NOTES:

These rules were adapted from the Sims 3 rules written by me which were adapted from the Sims 2 rules.

Credit to Engram and Gerbits

This is your game, if you don’t like some parts of a generation don’t do it. The legacy police aren’t going to come after you.

Want an extra challenge? Why not toss one of these for a sim week to spice things up.

IF you have any questions shoot me an ask and I’ll do my best to answer it

If you decide to do this please tag with awesimsauce so I can see it!

THE AWESOMESAUCE LEGACY CHALLENGE FOR THE SIMS 4

by alfalfalegacy (originally by awesimsauce)

Hi all, and welcome to my first official legacy challenge write up. This isn’t technically my own original idea, and is rather an edited version to better suit the ts4 gameplay, so all credit for the original rules goes to the original creator!

The awesomesauce legacy is a challenge that is carried out over 10 generations. There are rules and challenges per generation, but honestly, you don’t have to stick to them if you don’t want to. Just relax, have fun, and play the game as you want with this challenge!

Rules & generational challenges below

RULES

Basic legacy rules apply.

Like the original legacy, no cheats are allowed. Unless you want to. I’m not going to stop you!

Limit of 2 children per generation. No forcing twins or triplets. Though if it happens, it happens.

Your founder and at least one of your heirs must have a wedding party.

At the end of the legacy, at least one of your sims must have mastered the Selvadoradian culture skill (If you don’t have Jungle Adventure don’t worry!)

(Optional) Sim’s last name can be related to the rainbow/colour in some way (it can be as random and obscure as you would like).

Each generation is based on a different colour and that colour must be present and obvious in some way (make-up, dress, hair colour, house décor, etc.)

Each generation has a specific challenge(s) based on the colour of that generation. When playing that generation please make sure you meet all parts of the challenge (when possible)!

Most importantly have fun!!

GENERATIONAL CHALLENGES

Generation One

Colour: Blue

Challenge: Getting Started

As it is already difficult enough to begin a legacy with no cheating there is no “additional” challenges for this generation. I wonder how long it will be until your founder has wallpaper in all rooms??

Generation Two

Colour: Orange

Challenge: Creativity & Activity

Orange is a bright and happy colour. It is full of energy and can even convince the laziest person to get off their butt. It is even known to incite creativeness in even the most “uncreative people”. Thus for the orange generation, it is all about creativity and physical activity.

Money can only be made by music/painting/writing.

Must write all possible compositions for at least one musical instrument (guitar, piano, or violin).

Must max the Fitness skill. 

If you have Spa Day, try and max out the Wellness skill.

Generation Three

Colour: Black

Challenge: Extreme Failure

Black is dark and moody. Black is the absence of light and thus loneliness. Black is fail, at least for the sake of this challenge. The last generation was all about the bright happy side of life. This generation what they want doesn’t matter…it’s all about their failures. And sibling rivalry and discord???? THE MORE THE BETTER!!!!

Sims may not follow their dream job/aspiration until they have completed the necessary skills or reached the top of an opposite career path or aspiration. Use your judgement with this. 

Sims must have either the Gloomy or Loner trait. Or both!

Black generation sims have a hard time relating to people. Don’t let them have any relationship higher than Acquaintances until they’re a YA.

If you have Pets or My First Pet Stuff, give your heir a pet to keep them company.

The heir must be a black sheep. *

*Black Sheep, for the sake of this challenge, is described is the sim with the lowest relationship with their parents/siblings.

Generation Four

Colour: Purple

Challenge: Royalty

In many cultures, purple represents a position of royalty. In this generation, your sims will be treated like royalty and have their needs met as though they were a king or queen. The dark days are over, now it's time to sit back and enjoy life.

The heir must not be “forced” into doing any chores (cleaning the dishes, taking out the trash, etc). Those jobs are for lesser sims.

Your heir can only do fun things with their children. Leave the child-rearing aspect to someone else!

Generation 5

Colour: Brown

Challenge: Down to Earth

Brown represents the earth and those who are down to earth aren’t concerned with day to day boring jobs. Furthermore, they won’t spend their days cooped up in a house watching reruns of Criminal Minds. Rather, they will be out getting their hand's dirty digging in the earth. And that is just what this generation’s challenge is.

Money can only be made from harvested/dug up/fished items.

Must max the Gardening skill.

Must complete the Gardening collection.

Must complete the Herbalism collection. (Outdoor Retreat)

Generation 6

Colour: Green

Challenge: Money, Money, Money

Green is the colour of money, and this generation your sims are all about money. The more money they make the better!

Reach the top of two career paths! (Due to how hard it can be to complete one, this can be spread out between the heir and their partner).

Must make 100,000.

Must own or make your own business by the end of the generation.

Generation 7

Colour: Yellow

Challenge: The Pursuit of Happiness

Yellow can symbolize hope. What better way to represent that than the hope of setting out and making your own way in the world. These sims are not dependent on the ‘man’ for their nine to five! Instead, they set their own hours and make some friends along the way.

The heir must reach level 10 in one of the active or semi-active careers.

Must max the Charisma and Comedy skills.

Must have 5 good friends.

Generation 8

Colour: Red

Challenge: Fiery Passion

It is no secret that red is the colour of passion, of love and of explosive things. Those who love red are often extremely ambitious, but slightly reckless. Therefore, the challenge for this generation is achieving what you have always dreamed of and having passionate relationships.

Must have either the Hot-Headed or Self-Assured trait.

Must have 5 lovers.

Must have 5 enemies.

The heir must have a child with two different parents.

Generation 9

Colour: Pink

Challenge: The Glamour Life

Only the most glamourous sims can wear pink! This generation is all about living the high life. If you’re the most glamorous sim in town then everyone should know your name.

The heir must reach the top of the Acting or Musician career. (Acting is only possible if you have Get Famous). An alternative career to these is the Social Media career from City Living.

Must have at least 5 friends.

Glamorous sims are at the height of fashion. Change their everyday outfit every other day. Or at least once per week.

Generation 10

Colour: White

Challenge: Back to Basics

White represents simplicity, purity and innocence. After ten generations of ups and downs, it is time to return to a more simple life. Yes, you have likely amassed a great deal of wealth, but in an effort to return to the “humble beginnings” that money will have no use. We have come full circle and this generation is all about starting over and living a more simple life.

No boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse/live-in-partner.

The heir must move to a simple one-two bedroom house.

No TV or computers in the house. Phones are fine though.

(Optional) Any children in this generation must be adopted.

Please tag me or use the #awesomesauce challenge for me to see your attempts at this challenge!

Spin Off of my Awesimsauce legacy

[asimmingpun]

oh my god!!! okay, way back in TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN, which is SEVEN YEARS AGO (!), when i was FOURTEEN, i posted over on livejournal and i was playing a sims 3 awesimsauce challenge. this sim right here, sun young, was the spouse for generation 2!!!!!!!!! this is giving me such nostalgia. click that link to see very, very, very bad, old and incomplete sims thing, lmao. i am now going to spend the rest of my day rereading it and cringing.

also sun young is still beautiful and i would totally marry her in again tbh

[simmogen]

cheeto had his birthday! he's now eccentric, grumpy and clumsy.

[simbinit]

I decided that I'm gonna try a mix between the Awesimsauce challenge and an ISBI challenge. Sooooo Riley got "berrified" which basically means a new name, new traits, and bluer clothes. Everybody meet Sully who is basically Riley, because I loved her face and everything too much. ;u;

[simminnikas]

Prom has come around, and we got a Gold Medal event!

Simmón voted for Davon as Prom King which he won, and it seems as though someone voted her Prom Jester!

(SN: I feel Meg or Merick would have been more deserving of the title of Prom Jester, lol)

[simnels]

Not much to do on a snowy afternoon

[simminnikas]

Even though Simmón's introduction to Clem started traumatically, she's a good big sister.

Loving..

And attentive...

She even tries to share Clem's first moments in the simworld with Tang, but he's not really appreciative of them.

Persimmon: Here, look, Tang, these are Clem's first pics.

Tangelo: Eww, no! I don't want to see that!

Persimmon: Relax bro, no below the waste pics. Mum did tell you I fainted in the delivery room, right?

[simminnikas]

Spindles is quite the attentive parent for someone against having a baby.

Spindle: There you go, a fresh diaper, now please stop crying.

Even opting to breastfeed instead of bottlefeed.

After breastfeeding Clem, especially given that she's not feeling so 'full', Spindle decides she has put on too much baby weight and does a treadmill workout. (Autonomously, I might add)

SN: I would think she'd start off with a walk, not a run. I mean, c'mon Spindle! All that jiggling just has to be uncomfortable.

[simminnikas]

I've got to say, this surprised me. I mean MCCC Risky Woohoo is set to 0. See:

I had Denim and Spindle fulfill a want for woohoo. Spindle was acting funny afterwards, but I thought she was coming down with a cold. I suspected, but nothing was confirmed until she popped.

Turns out, she's brewing a nooboo. And she's not happy about it! (The game gave her the 'does not want a child' trait.) Not to mention, she's also going through a midlife crisis.

Poor Spindle, lol.

SIMMER'S NOTE/SN: *sheepishly says* My unofficial rules were two kids per generation. (I know there's 4 kids in the house to choose from already, but I've abandoned the plot with the Beans. Don't yell at me, lol)

[simminnikas]

Whether she wants it or not, the baby is coming. Poor Denim had to go in to work while all this was going down, so Spindle asked Persimmon to be her person.

She may not want a baby, but Spindle is going to make sure the baby is healthy and asks for an epidural while she's at it.

After some time, Spin asks Simmón to call the OB. It's time!

Persimmon: You're doing great Mum! *looks down and gets more of a picture than she's comfortable with* Oh. My. Watcher! Why did I agree to this! *passes out*

Clementine Borealis, born in the Borelais save the 3rd day of the sim new year. A spring babe.

Welcome to the sim world baby Clem!

I'm sorry I couldn't get your Mummy to change her mind.

[simminnikas]

New Year's Eve fell on the same night as Prom

The kids called it a night and decided to ring in the New Year at home.

Which was successful for everyone, not just for Spindle.

(SN: I had them come home so they could watch the countdown and celebrate. It was either that or I would have had to deal with multiple sims' sad moodlets)

[simminnikas]

Despite Spindle's feelings to the contrary, Persimmon, Tangelo, Nutmeg, Tumerick & Denim have been nothing but supportive.

Simmón offers her Mum the comfort of her presence while doing homework.

Tang gets touchy feely with her belly (even though his Mum is still on the fence) while Merick tries awkwardly singing to the nooboo. (From the wrong end mind you)

Meg & Merick are just excited to be a part of a growing family.

And after some encouragement to get an ultrasound, Deni shares a sweet moment with Spindle.

(SN: the cuddle from behind animation is too cute with the pregnant belly)

[simminnikas]

SIMMER'S NOTE/SN: I've been playing with Lumpinou's RPO MOD and I'm not quite sure if this is from that, but for 90 simoleons, Spindle had the option to go to counseling for the unwanted child. And I had her do just that.

Spindle thought he was a quack.

Denim: *takes in Spindle's belly and worried demeanor* Spin Honey, what are you doing out here so late?

Spindle: I just came from a Counselor and wanted to meet you after your shift. *wipes at tears* Deni I'm pregnant. This is all too much, I don't want a baby! I'm halfway through to elderhood!

Denim: Oh Hun *caresses Spindle's cheek* I'm alright with having another rugrat around. Besides, you've never looked more beautiful.

Spindle: *hugs Denim tight and tries not to have a complete meltdown*
