🪞 The Founder: What You Are When You Are Nothing

He isn’t made to survive. He’s made to dominate.

This isn’t Create-A-Sim. This is configuration. You’re not picking a name. You’re pulling a weapon from the dark.

Before the descent begins, your Founder must be engineered, trait by trait, flaw by flaw, for seduction, scarcity, and absolute control. This page outlines how to build him right… or how to watch him break.

🧬 Sim Identity Requirements

Gender:

The Founder must be male to align with mod-based systems, client mechanics, and the Big Dick trait from KMI.

Life Stage & Settings:

Must be a Young Adult

Aging must be enabled

Lifespan must be set to Long

🎭 Required Traits (CAS)

The Founder begins with the following five traits: These are not optional. They define his starting edge.

✦ Manipulator (Artemissy) -> Strategic, emotionally intelligent, always calculating

✦ Seducer (Kiara) -> Natural charm; eases client conversion

✦ Talented (Kiara) -> Cross-discipline edge

✦ Heartbreaker (Chingyu) -> Emotional fallout; narrative volatility

✦ Woohoo Lover (Kiara) -> Sexual drive and mood sensitivity

📌 Mod links available on the Required Mods page. These traits create tension: the Founder is seductive, emotionally volatile, deeply manipulative, and compulsive. You are not building for survival. You are building for control.

🎯 CAS Aspiration (Must Assign in CAS)

StrangerVille Mystery This is required and must be selected at the start. Do not switch it out. This aspiration’s structure is necessary for the challenge’s deeper narrative mechanics and hidden unlock paths.

💰 Starting Funds

No cheats or household income allowed

All objects and income must be earned through the systems outlined in the challenge

🪞 Visual & Environmental Setup

You’re not just building a Sim. You’re setting a tone.

Suggested CAS Aesthetic:

Minimalist or industrial clothing

Avoid friendly, vibrant color schemes

You are not building a boyfriend. You are building a controlled burn.

Concrete textures

Utility-focused furniture

🕯️ Your Founder Is Now Ready.

The shell has been shaped. Now you fill it, with pain, pleasure, and control. Once your Sim has been completed, continue to:

🔗 Lot Setup - Your descent shell 🔗 Terms of Survival - Your first rules 🔗 Phases & Progression - The descent itself

[basementlineage]

🕯️ The Descent Begins

“Every descent begins with a choice.” You do not start with a Sim. You start with surrender. This page is your first offering, your first rule broken just by reading.

The Basement Lineage is not about comfort. It’s about control. Your founder begins with nothing. You will take from him until something emerges.

🕳️ Start here to understand what must be built, broken, and buried before you begin.

The Basement is watching. Make this choice count.

🪞 What This Is

The Basement Lineage is a ritual-driven Sims 4 challenge built around isolation, sacrifice, and survival. It is not fast. It is not kind. It is not fair. But it is structured.

Your Sim will begin with nothing but the basement. They will earn every object, every room, every touch of freedom. They will suffer for every bit of control they claim, and give something of themselves in return.

This is not just a challenge. It is a story you shape through denial, devotion, and descent.

📍 Your First Steps

Before the game begins, you must complete your ritual preparation. Each of the following pages is required before you descend:

🔗 Sim Setup - Who your founder is, and what he must carry.

🔗 Lot Setup - The shell you begin in, and what the Basement allows.

🔗 Terms of Survival - The rules. The limits. The pain. (Don’t skip this.)

Once setup is complete, the real descent begins.

🕳️ Then the Descent

Progression happens through carefully structured Phases. Each unlocks new mechanics, skills, spaces, and consequences.

Start here to track your Founder’s evolution:

🔗 Phases & Progression - The descent is slow. It must be earned.

⚠️ Before You Begin

This challenge is intended for mature players. It contains adult content, including themes of isolation, power dynamics, sexual interaction, and emotional instability.

You must be 18+ to play or engage with this challenge in any form. This is your only warning.

🕯️ If You’re Ready…

Descend.

Phases & Progression [Index]

You don’t unlock the next level. You survive your way into it.

The Basement Lineage isn’t a flat challenge. It’s vertical. Every phase adds pressure. Every phase demands more sacrifice, more control, more proof that you deserve a life above ground.

This index is your ladder. But don’t mistake it for hope. Climbing is possible. Freedom? Never guaranteed.

🕳 Phase 1: The Box

You start in a single tile. No comfort. No contact. Just grind, exposure, and isolation.

🔒 Phase 2: Submission

A little space, but no freedom. You earn what you’re allowed to survive with.

📸 Phase 3: Performance

What they want from you now is polish. Your body, your charm, marketed under pressure.

🛏 Phase 4: Threshold

The door opens, but only for clients. Connection is monetized. Privacy is performance.

🍽 Phase 5: Ritual

Routine replaces restraint. Clients gather weekly. Your body becomes their Sunday gospel.

🌿 Phase 6: Reaping

You cultivate what sustains others, not yourself. Growth becomes a transaction.

🧠 Phase 7: Echochamber

Work, write, hack, repeat. Your mind is no longer yours, it’s a monetized algorithm.

📚 Phase 8: Rewrite

You tell love stories for people who pay you. None of them are yours.

🪞 Phase 9: Reflection

You decorate your prison. You look good doing it. But you’re still counting clients.

🏛 Phase 10: Ascension

You build your palace, but you may not enter until you’ve proven your worth in every way.

🩶 Phase 11: The After (Optional Final Phase)

The founder fades. The daughter rises. The legacy either heals or inherits the wound.

🧷 Each phase will be posted individually. This index will update as they unlock. Selfies are required at the end of every phase. If your Sim can’t look themselves in the eye, they can’t move forward.
