Kick The Bucket Legacy Challenge

I wanted to make a challenge based on death types, kinda inspired by the new Life and Death pack. Some acclarations:

Ghosts can't have children, so you can either have your kids when you are alive, or adopting them, or cheat. It doesn't matter

Careers and aspirations doesn't have to be completed always, mostly because some of the aspirations require to be in a career and well... I don't see ghosts working. You can make money through any mean you want, though

It might be fun to make all your heirs have the Chased by Death trait

It also might be fun to have like a big family mansion and stay on the same lot all legacy, but you can also move around or combine the two. I suggest that because maybe Ravenwood is the best world for some of this generations

Some generations have more goals than others. Generation 9 is, well, embarrasing. Feel free to add extra goals if you're over with them

Generation 1. Death by Fire 🔥

So, yeah, you’re dead. You had just decided to prepare your very first meal in your brand new house... Turns out, clumsiness and a stove don’t really get along. But you are not ready to stop living!

About this Blog: 🫒🍉

This blog's purpose is to engage in the conversation around the use of curseforge in the sims modding community and the company's support of Israel and the IDF. This is not a hate-blog, or meant to "cancel" creators. It is an open conversation and call-to-action for popular creators to remove their content from curseforge.

Curseforge, owned by the Israeli company Overwolf, posted a crowdfunding campaign for the IDF at the beginning of the siege on Gaza. They quickly removed it, but there is no reason to believe that they do not continue to support the IDF. The organization they partnered with to raise money for the victims of Oct 8th has Zionism as one of their core values. And in April they hosted the organization, Gvahim, who integrates new settlers into Israel's workforce. An active part of the ongoing colonization of Palestine.

Even besides all of this, the baseline of leaving curseforge is to divest in the Israeli economy while the war on Gaza rages on. An estimated 37,000 Palestinians have been cruelly murdered by Israel. (May, 2024) The number is predicted to be much higher.

Popular creators generate traffic and revenue for the site and contribute a large portion to the nearly 1 billion downloads in the Sims 4 category. Their choices do make a difference.

Providing alternative downloads is a good step, but it is not enough. If you are a modder or custom content creator, I urge you to take part in the mission to leave curseforge as a whole.

Actions: You may tag this blog, link this post, and respectfully request creators remove their content from curseforge on their posts. Don't download from curseforge. Threats, harassment, and antisemitism are not welcome on this blog and with this message. You are not helping by doing so.

Join me and divest from curseforge. PLEASE REBLOG THIS POST. #divest from curseforge

Large creators still on curseforge as of June, 12th, 2024 (incomplete): @lotharihoe @littlemssam @deaderpoolmc @twistedmexi @plumlace @mizoreyukii @pandasamacc @brazenlotus @icemunmun-spicy-scalpel @somik-severinka @andirz-mods @simrealist @northernsiberiawinds @bosseladytv @littlbowbub plus others not on Tumblr: @basemental @kuttoe @lot51 @turbodriver @lumpinou

But Daddy I Love Him!: A Disney Princess Legacy Challenge

I didn't really like any version of the Disney Princess Legacy so I decided to do one myself! I tried not to repeat traits, skills... But sometimes I couldn't figure out, sorry! I also included a color scheme based on the princess. You have to complete the aspiration, career and max the skills, unless stated otherwise. I also included some extra goals!

It's not playtested, so I might make changes as I play. I have an edited lifespan that makes Young Adulthood and Adulthood a little bit longer, but Teenagehood and Childhood shorter. My guess is that you could finish the challenge in normal lifespan, but you also can do it in long or with a custom lifespan, or even turn aging off if you want to! Whatever you want to do!

Also, I had to be quite... Creative in some of the princess descriptions, because their personalities are very similar.

Also, there's not really any general rules. Your heir can be any gender you want (Everyone can be a princess!), if you want to cheat, cheat, if you wanna change something, change it!
