Taylor Swift Eras Legacy Challenge

This challenge is inspired by my love of Taylor Swift. While each generation’s requirements are inspired by themes found in her albums, they are not meant to be a reflection of what I think of Queen Taylor. I have not play-tested, so please let me know if there are any problems! I know I’m not the only one to make a challenge like this, but I’m hoping mine is not too similar to anyone else’s. Any overlap is completely unintentional.

General rules: 

For each generation, complete the required aspiration, career, and skills.

The aesthetic and colors for each generation are not required, but I think they make it more fun!

Each generation can begin with starter funds, or 0 simoleons if you want to make it more challenging. If you have multiple generations living together, you can keep the household funds from each generation in the family.

Play on normal or long lifespan

If you get a self-discovery trait pop-up, you may accept additional traits, but you can't change existing traits.

Legacy challenges are about having fun! If changing any of the requirements will make your gameplay more fun, go right ahead!

If you post your gameplay anywhere, feel free to tag it with #tseraslegacy

As an adult, you are quickly obsessed with the celebrity lifestyle, and become known for your amazing parties. People flock to you, and you have a large group of friends.

You have a strong sense of right and wrong, so you become a judge to bring people to justice (sometimes through mischievous means).

Despite your relationship, you’re more like your parent than you think, and you love to go out and dance any chance you get.
