Gilbert Baker's Pride Legacy: an LGBT Legacy Challenge

This Sims 4 challenge is based on Gilbert Baker’s original 8 stripe rainbow pride flag. Baker assigned each stripe a meaning connecting to the LGBT community. Each generation embodies one of these stripes and their meanings. 

Every generation heir must complete their aspiration and reach the top level of their careers. Each heir must wear at least one item of their respective stripe colors at all times. Each heir can be any gender, including trans and nonbinary genders, unless specified otherwise.  Each heir can be any sexuality, unless specified otherwise.  The only rule: the main sim cannot be both cisgender and heterosexual/heteromantic.  You are encouraged to hang the pride flag of your sim’s identity, whatever you decide it is.

For rules in written form, see here.

He Painted Me Into This World

I wanted this to feel like a legacy, in the way a best friend or a mother or aunt applies makeup for the first time. Here, a gay man is painting his friend the way he is truly seen, and he's there next to him as they go back into the world.

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH

As every year this is a good date to remember the daily struggle for the rights of the LBGT+ community. It is also a time to learn about the people who made it possible for us to identify ourselves as who we are today without fear of reprisals or being punished by the law. This month I got involved in the history of Argentina and its different movements for the fight for rights through the 20th century. Here I come to share some important figures, some more known than others, but obviously there are a lot that I have left out of this publication.

Sara Facio (1932-2024) & Maria Elena Walsh (1930-2011)

A couple of intellectual artists that would need a separate publication to go deeper into the subject. Sara is one of the greatest Latin American photographers who with her camera contributed to the creation of the most outstanding photographic heritage of the country. Maria Elena is a writer, singer and composer whose children's songs resonate to this day because they are much more profound than they seem and are still relevant today.

Salvadora Medina Onrubia (1894-1972)

She was a writer, militant anarchist, single mother and the first woman to run a newspaper in the country. She was the first Argentinean woman to dare to write about double sinners, lesbians and adulteresses. One of her most valued plays was Las descentradas, premiered in 1929. There, Salvadora honors her own contradictions, narrating women who question monogamous structures, marriage and the traditional family.

Malva Solis (1920-2015)

She was a transvestite writer who lived for 95 years when the life expectancy of this community in the country was under 40 years old. In 1951 founded the first trans organization on record, Maricas Unidas Argentinas. She has the oldest series of trans photographs in the country, dating from 1940 to 1980, when simply having those photographs at home was cause for being arrested. There is a documentary based on the photographs and conversations with her at her home called "Con Nombre de flor".

Jorge Horacio Ballve Piñero (1920-?)

Piñero was a young man from a well-to-do family of the Buenos Aires society at the beginning of the century. Together with his best friend Adolfo and Blanca, he organized gatherings in his apartment in Recoleta, and was a pioneer of male erotic photography. They mixed the privileged social class with workers, dishwashers, gas station workers, sailors and cadets from the Military College. These three characters were involved in a police case involving cadets from the military college, known as the Cadet Scandal. In the police archives remain captive the photographic collection, intended for pleasure and personal aesthetic enjoyment that tragically proved key to incriminate some friends who just wanted to have fun.

Ruth Mary Kelly (1925-1994)

She was a bisexual woman, who worked as a "Wohoo Worker". Founder of Grupo Safo in 1972, the first Argentine lesbian organization, and of the Frente de Liberación Homosexual (Homosexual Liberation Front). In 1972 she wrote Memorial de los Infiernos about her experiences as a "Wohoo" worker and bisexual, persecuted by the psychiatric-prison system.

Manuel Puig (1932-1990)

He was an Argentine writer and LGBT+ activist, author of the novels Boquitas pintadas, El beso de la mujer araña (Considered one of the most recognized LGBT works in Latin America and one of the best works in Spanish of the 20th century) etc. He also fought against authoritarianism and machismo, and was one of the founders of the Homosexual Liberation Front in 1971, one of the first associations for the defense of LGBTQI+ rights.

Mariela Muñoz (1943-2017)

She was the first transsexual woman to be recognized by the state and given a female ID card on May 2, 1997. At the age of 16 she became independent, and it was then that she began caring for children, teenagers and single mothers. She cared for children who had been abandoned by their mothers, whom she loved and cared for. She raised, during her lifetime, 23 children and 30 grandchildren. In a dispute over the guardianship of 3 children in 1993, Argentina was confronted for the first time with the debate as to whether a transsexual person "could be a mother"

Carlos Jauregui (1957-1996) & Raul Soria

Carlos was a History professor and the founder of the Civil Association Gays for Civil Rights, organizer of the first Pride march in Buenos Aires and an essential figure for Argentine activism. In 1984, he broke with the schemes by appearing in the magazine Siete Días embracing the activist Raul Soria, a homosexual person assumed his sexuality in a public way for the first time. He believed that media visibility is fundamental for LGTB people. Leaving aside the fear and silence that other generations suffered for years. In 1985, Raul would present himself as the first gay candidate for congressman in the country.

Roberto Jauregui (1960-1994)

Brother of Carlos, was a journalist, actor and the first activist for the rights of people with HIV in the country. In 1989 he exposed the inequality in access to treatment at that time due to the price of medication. He played a central role in marches, actions, talks and interviews to demand human rights for people living with the virus. A well-known phrase of his is "Showing one's face is not easy in a society that discriminates, censures and separates".

Cris Miró (1965-1999)

Cris was the first visible trans people that appeared in the media and broke with the "transvestite" paradigm. A dental student, she got involved in the artistic underworld and later studied classical dance, musical comedy and acting. Her career was meteoric: the popularity of revue theater catapulted her to the small screen where she became a sought-after figure in the most popular programs. On June 23rd, a series about his life inspired by his biography was released, available on Prime Video.

Alejandro Vannelli (1948-) y Ernesto Larresse (1950-)

They were the first couple in the province of Buenos Aires to get legally married on July 30, 2010 after the Equal Marriage Law was passed. They met in 1976 because of a triple A bomb in the theater where Larresse was performing with Nacha Guevara, then he joined the cast of Vannelli. At the beginning they did not like each other because of Vanelli's appearance as a wealthy young man and Larresse was the opposite, but opposites attracted and they were a couple for 34 years.

Norma Castillo (1943-) y Ramona "Cachita" Arévalo (1943-2018)

They were the of South America's first gay marriage on April 9, 2010. Norma and Ramona were married to two Colombians, who were cousins to each other. During the dictatorship they both went into exile in Colombia and there they fell in love and lived their romance clandestinely, until Cachita separated and Norma was widowed by her husband. They lived their love freely and even opened an LGBT discotheque in Colombia. In 1998 they returned to Argentina and began to work in sexual diversity organizations.

Feliciano Centurión 1962-1996)

He was a visual artist, a Paraguayan painter professionally trained in Argentina. He grew up in a home dominated by women, where he learned to sew and crochet. Inspired by queer aesthetics and folk art, he used to incorporate household textiles and references to the natural world. She handled kitsch art and languages not considered high art with a great deal of knowledge and sensitivity.

Humberto Tortonese (1964-) , Alejandro Urdapilleta (1954-2013) & Batato Barea (1961-1991)

Batato was an actor and "literary transvestite clown" as he called himself, one of the most important personalities of the underground theater movement of the post-dictatorship years. Together with Alejandro Urdapilleta and Humberto Tortonese, revolutionized the underground scene of the 80's - in places like the Parakultural. They disguised themselves, wore make-up and improvised delirious and strident scenes for the decade.

Sandra Mihanovich & Celeste Carballo

Sandra and Celeste are two singers who were visibly lesbians during the 80s and early 90s. Together they released the albums "Somos mucho mas que dos" and "Mujer contra mujer" which became a symbol of belonging for the whole LGBTQ arc in our country. They managed to be part of the rock scene, an area historically dominated by men. Sandra among all her songs is "Soy lo que soy" released in 1984 composed by Henry Jerman.

Current Gameplay: Rags to Riches

next

Eli Vermeer was eight years old when he told his parents he wanted to be a boy. He didn’t like the dresses they bought him or the pigtails they tied his hair into for school pictures. He liked playing soccer with the boys from his class in the empty lot off Main Street and cutting his curls short so they didn’t get in his way. ‘Tomboy’ was the word he got used to hearing, and he didn’t mind it. It had boy in it, after all…

But when he was 18 and his parents still insisted it was just a phase, he knew he couldn’t stay. He took the little money he had saved and boarded a bus west to Evergreen Harbor. He had nothing but a small duffel bag with a few changes of clothes and a toothbrush, and a dream. Hormone replacement therapy. Top surgery. A life where no one looked at him and wondered what he was.

Rags to riching was far from glamorous. Eli became better acquainted with dumpsters than he ever anticipated, and the allure of a fresh cooked meal had never been so enticing. He was tired, stinky, and completely alone.

Luckily, solitude didn’t last forever. Port Promise was full of interesting sims, and soon Eli was making tentative friendships.

Archer even enticed Eli to get out of Evergreen Harbor for an evening. They attended a festival in the city, and as fireworks burst overhead, Eli, for the first time in weeks, started to feel like he was doing it. He was living his own life. Not his parents, not his sister’s. His.

Slowly pieces came together. Eli had a bed. A shower. A pot that was close enough to a toilet. He had soy plants he hated tending, but at least that meant food. A few rocks and some scavenged wood made a firepit to keep him warm as fall crept in, and when he was lucky enough to catch a fish it meant a nice, cooked meal. And the dumpsters he resented so much yielded treasures. Before too long he walked into a clinic, a few-hundred simoleons in hand, and paid out of pocket to start hormone replacement therapy. The changes were slow, just like every other process in Eli’s life, but it was easier knowing he was becoming the man he was meant to be.

For written rules, keep reading below. For rules in graphic form, see here.

Note: Diversity is a cornerstone of our community. Please be conscious of the sims you use to play this challenge- LGBT people can be all body types, all races, and all religions. Everyone deserves spaces in the community and in your gameplay.

Gen 1: Pink (Sex)

You were raised by extremely uptight parents and were denied every aspect of pleasure as a child.  Now, as a young adult, it’s time to explore! You’ve always enjoyed the finer things in life - that is, sex, food, and art.  You might have a little bit of a hedonistic streak, but what’s wrong with that? So did Dorian Grey! Your goals in life are to have as much sex, eat as much good food, and see as much great art as possible.  

Traits

Lovebug (LS) (alternative: romantic)

Art Lover

Foodie

Open a food stand (HCH)

Have 3 fully-satisfied partners at once (either with Lovestruck romance satisfaction or just by having full relationship bars)

Gen 2: Red (Life)

Your parent/s brought you up in a life of luxury - you always had the best food, the best clothes, and you spent lots of time at art museums.  You want everyone else to be able to experience life’s same pleasures, so you turn to charity.  You like to make everything with your own hands and give them away - it makes you happy to see your work out in the world, making others happy and living in community.  That’s the meaning of life, isn’t it?

Note: this gen has two aspirations, which might feel overwhelming, but the Neighborhood Confidante one is only one level, and the goals overlap with this gen’s goals!

Traits

Generous (FR) (alternative: Good)

Maker (EL) (alternative: Creative)

Outgoing

Career

Politician (PS), Charity Organizer branch (Alternative: Freelancer, artist or crafter (EL)) (if freelancer, accept all gigs having to do with charitable giving)

Max friendship with at least 10 sims

Give to charity at least once a week after you move out of your parents’ home

Gen 3: Orange (Healing)

Your parent/s loved to give away everything they had.  While that’s an admirable choice, you’re a little different.  You’re all about objects - you like to have as much as possible, in order to provide a good life for your future children.  You fall in love young and immediately start a family, hoping to spend the rest of your life with them.  Unfortunately, you get too wrapped up in your work and your spouse divorces you. You spend the rest of your life trying to help your children and heal yourself. You’re also a very caring person and want to help everyone you can, and you choose a career which allows you to do so.  All you want is to see your kids succeed in life.

Traits

Materialistic

Ambitious

Family Oriented

Career 

Doctor (GTW) (alternative: education, either branch, or athlete (bodybuilder)) 

Aspiration

Marry your high school sweetheart immediately after aging to young adult

Have at least 2 kids with your high school sweetheart

Get divorced as a young adult or adult

Have all of your children have the top-notch infant and top-notch toddler traits, and graduate with A’s in school

Gen 4: Yellow (Sunlight)

Your parent/s were always really set on you being successful, which was annoying. Not that you don’t want to be successful, it’s just that your definition of success is pretty different than theirs. You’ve always felt a little different, a little alien in your own body. When you’re a teenager you realize you’re trans, and begin taking steps to feel more at home with yourself.  As an adult, you’re happier than you’ve ever been, and you’ve even found the love of your life and discovered your love of music - the only thing is, you’ve been so focused on your transition you forgot about… the career, making-money part of life.  You don’t really care.  You find a small house and live there with your partner and children, never working, just enjoying your happiness and creativity.

Sim Characteristics: must be transgender (binary or nonbinary). Can be any sexuality, including straight

Traits

Freegan (EL) (alternative: lazy)

Cheerful

Music Lover

Career

None, but odd jobs are allowed

Customize your gender settings as a teenager, can be any combination as long as not the same as at birth

Never have a job, even part-time

Live on an off-the-grid lot for at least one age category

Gen 5: Green (Nature)

Your parents were the perfect couple, and they never stopped talking about it. They were each other’s first and only loves, and they want the same kind of never-ending love for their children.  The thing is, you’re not sure you’re into that sort of thing. The most important thing, to you, is Mother Earth. You’re dedicated to preserving nature just as it is - and you find a group of friends who have just the same goal.  You live with them your whole life, and eventually you decide to adopt a child together.  You’re excited to pass on your love for the environment to a new generation.

Traits

Green Fiend (EL) (alternative: Loves Outdoors)

Loyal

Insider (GtW) (alternative: outgoing)

Career

Conservationist (IL), Environmental Manager branch (alternative: register as independent gardener, or Civil Designer (EL))

Aspiration

Live in a quasi-commune/community or rental lot (FR) commune with at least 4 other people

Live on a lot with the Reduce and Recycle trait, and transform your neighborhood eco footprint from neutral/industrial to green (EL)

Max the gardening, herbalism (OR), and fishing skills (alternative: gemology (CC) or charisma)

Adopt a dog or a cat (C&D), a horse (HR), a cow, a llama, and at least one wild rabbit (CoL) (alternative: get some frogs & fish)

Make your heir have the bad manners character trait (PH) (alternative: unhappy infant trait)

Gen 6: Turquoise (Magic)

Your group of caregivers taught you to value and care for nature. So you took it to the next level and connected with nature so much that you became a spellcaster. You use your magic to help others, mostly - and summon a few animal friends. Your unusual communal upbringing gave you a few interesting traits- you’re fine eating out of the garbage, and you’re always up for an adventure, no matter how reckless. But you’re fun-loving and magical, and what more could anyone ask for?

Traits

Adventurous (SE) (alternative: goofball)

Loves Outdoors

Glutton

Career

Secret Agent

Aspiration

Spellcraft & Sorcery (RoM) (alternative: Chief of Mischief)

Goals

Max the mischief and rock climbing (SE) skills (alternative: fitness)

Achieve rank 6 spellcaster (RoM), have either a Leafbat or Glowfrog familiar (RoM) (alternative: finish the MySims trophy collection)

Have only one child, make the child have the low self-esteem trait (GWT) (alternative: unhappy infant trait)

Have a partner in crime as a child or teen, pull three successful pranks at school

Gen 7: Blue (Harmony)

Your parent was fun-loving and literally magical- they could summon animals at will and clean the floors with a flick of the wrist. Unfortunately, that kind of lifestyle didn’t bode well for a stable upbringing. You’re going to do everything you can to be the parent you never had- you’re determined to have a large, loving family, living in harmony with the world and each other. You want the most typical, average, perfect suburban life possible. But you have some… erratic traits you inherited from your parent. Plus, society’s idea of a “perfect normal family” doesn’t include a nonbinary, bisexual parent. These things seem like obstacles to your dreams- but eventually you realize it’s not you that’s wrong, it’s just that society’s picture of perfect harmony needs to change to include you.

Sim Characteristics: this sim must like multiple genders and be nonbinary/genderqueer

Traits

Erratic

Perfectionist

Romantically Reserved (LS) (alternative: Family Oriented)

Career

Salaryperson (SE), either branch (alternative: business, either branch)

Aspiration

Big Happy Family

Goals

Have 4 kids

Take your family on vacation at least once in adult life (to any vacation world, or alternatively, to a park every day for a week)

Max the parenting (PH), baking (GtW), and knitting (NK) skills (alternatives: charisma, handiness, cooking)

Have a max relationship with a high school sweetheart, but break up and marry someone else

Live in a typical blue suburban house in Brindleton Bay (C&D), Copperdale (HSY), Willow Creek, or Newcrest

Have two cats or two dogs (C&D) (alternative: have another child)

Gen 8: Violet (Spirit)

You had the perfect suburban life. Your childhood home was filled with laughter and love and many, many siblings. Your parent had a steady job and was the kindest, most loving parent in the world. But you still feel like there’s something missing. As a child you hate being around people and instead find solace in fictional worlds. Finally, you realize you’re missing some excitement, a spark, and a deep community. You decide to reconnect with your ancestors - both your actual family ancestors, and your queer ancestors of the past. They guide you throughout your life and lead you to your happiness, helping you gain confidence, love, and spirit - and help you realize you’re not alone in this world.

Sim Characteristics: if you’re a part of the LGBT community, I encourage you to make this sim reflect your own identity, if possible! If you’re not, I encourage you to make this sim an identity you haven’t encountered thus far in this challenge- go through the flags and see which ones you haven’t used!

Traits

Loner

Self-assured

Bookworm

Career

Freelance Paranormal Investigator (PS) (alternative: freelance writer)

Aspiration

Extreme Sports Enthusiast (SE) (alternative: bodybuilder)

Goals

Max the medium (PS), writing, and skiing (SE) skills (alternatives: comedy, fitness)

Don’t gain the self-assured trait until aging to young adulthood

[antiquatedsimmer]

"You… had me."

Josephine's lip quivered as she spoke, "I don’t have anything, Lucie. I have a husband."

"My family doesn’t even respond to my letters... The only connection I get is through Silas, who helps my father keep tabs on me."

"I was sent away for years and then immediately handed over like livestock to your family."

Lucile gently reached out, her hand lightly touching Josephine's arm. Josephine continued, her eyes brimming with unshed tears.

"You need time to think of the right words? Maybe I would need time to figure out how to live without my best friend!"

Lucile’s heart sank. In her mourning, she had been unknowingly selfish. These past months had been difficult for Josephine too: the wedding, the farming, caring for her parents, living with Silas, complying with his demands, and still finding time to check on her...

"Josie... I’ve been so selfish."

"I had no idea," Lucile whispered, "I wish you had told me. I could have been there for you."

Lucile stepped forward, looking down, caressing her hands while Josephine stifled her sniffles to reply. "Perhaps I’m at fault as well. I didn’t want to put any more pressure on you… You were already so wracked with worry."

Josephine lovingly stroked Lucile's fingers. "If we ever see each other again… I hope we can talk more."

The word "if" struck Lucile painfully, a sharp pang in her heart. If was right; this might be the last time she ever saw or heard Josephine. An overwhelming fear gripped her. Should she risk ruining the moment further?

Without hesitation, Lucile reached up, brushing wet strands of hair from Josephine's face.

"Josephine, you are the last person I wanted to leave behind. I dreaded this every day since Mama and Papa's passing."

"You’ve been my first thought every morning. You’ve filled my mind at the most inopportune times, to the point where I could hardly think or work properly."

Her fingers tightened around Josephine’s. "You have been the shining sun in my life, the only thing that’s kept me going."

Josephine caught her breath, her hand suddenly pulling back.

"You make me feel akin to a sunflower," Lucile continued, her eyes softening. "If I were to lose sight of you for too long, my heart would cease to beat, and I would wither away."

"Please forgive me. "

" I was scared of disappointing someone I love so dearly."

Josephine stepped away, her gaze downcast at the soaked grass. A long moment of silence followed, filled only with the sound of the rain and the soft huff from Lady as she shook her head and stomped her hoof.

Thinking any hope of reconciliation was surely gone, Lucile turned to leave, feeling the sting of rejection, Josephine suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"Lucile, wait!"

"In the kitchen’s left cabinet, that’s where we keep the good silver. It’ll fetch a good price."

" I couldn’t- " "Silas would only take his anger out on you for not stopping me."

" Nonsense. "

" We’ll be long gone before he even realizes we’ve left."

LETS GOOOO GODDD Do you have an idea how long I've been itching to have these sims have their first kiss. literally months. The slow burn game play was so worth it tho, I'm excited for what comes next. It's funny how this ended up being able to post in pride month! HAPPY PRIDE :D

⸻

🧬 BACKSTORY:

Your sim grew up surviving the streets after their mother disappeared and father… well, no one talks about him. The only family that ever cared was their great-grandmother, a sassy, strong barmaid who used to say, “There’s healing in a good drink and good company.”

Pride Festival '25 LOT

I wasn't planning to make this a lot for Sims to enjoy because I knew I would use CC to bring my vision to life, and I KNOW some people don't enjoy cc with real wording decorations in their sim games.. This was really supposed to be a picture event only since I came up with this idea so last minute and off the top of my tiny brain, but I was asked about a playable lot a few times. ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

Disclaimer:I did not make this lot entirely. I had to redecorate it for the Pride Festival.I want to give the biggest hugs to "Serveria_Snape" on the gallery for making the "SimRock Festival" lot. There were no musical festival lots I could transform into Pride Festival, and they had the best one EVERRRR!! Huge credit to them.

Packs and CC used are listed on my Patreon

🚨 LOT DETAILS Size: 64x64 placed in Windslar, Windenburg. I deleted that household LOL. Feel free to place it wherever! Venue Type: Nightclub, but you can place it down as anything else. 🚨 Activities on Lot: Listen to music, dance, eat, buy merch, support small businesses, get your picture painted by a professional painter, and even get a tattoo!! (vendors need to be hired lol) 🚨 This lot has been play tested to ensure smooth gameplay. It's a little laggy (for me at least) because there's just so much on this 64x64. I also forgot a light for the personal food selling spot. 🚨 The easel MIGHT disappear because I have Simkatu's painting override. Feel free to add your own easel, doesn't have to be exact!

ʚଓ Have M.O.O activated before placing ʚଓ Please don't claim as your own, reupload, or include in zipped folders! ʚଓ If there are any issues, please let me know. ʚଓ Thank you for downloading! (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

Happy Pride Month! Continue to be the best version of yourself and be kind to others! You belong here just as much as everyone else! (,,>ヮ<,,)!
