Sweet & Sour Legacy Challenge - Sims 3

Created by Simphora & Gabrielle-kl

Hey guys! Surprise, surprise. Me and Gabby did a little something.. we created a Sims 3 challenge! Woot-woot! This is our very first time creating a challenge together. We had such a blast. I’d like say this challenge is fun and unique. We put our FOOT into making this because us Sims 3 simmers are in desperate need of more challenges. Also, feel free to check out Gabby’s amazing challenge called, Not Your Average Legacy Challenge.

The Sweet & Sour Legacy Challenge is a six generation legacy challenge inspired by fruits. These fruits have a sweet and sour aesthetic for each generation. For example, the sweet fruit generations are compassionate and up-beat. Meanwhile, there’s a little twist with the sour fruit generations because it’s more pessimistic and chaotic. All-in-all, if you’re a simmer that is looking for a fruit themed and drama fulfilled legacy challenge, this is a challenge for you!

If you’re interested in doing this challenge, please feel free to tag us: @simphoraa @gabrielle-kl or #sweet&sourlegacy. We would love to see your progress and gameplay!

R U L E S:

You must follow each generation in chronological order.

It is recommend that you use all of the provided traits.

If you do not have a certain Sims 3 expansion pack that is related to the traits, careers, or goals, you can make adjustments.

The aesthetic color/colours for each generation is optional.

Before moving on to the next generation, you must complete all of the required goals.

DO NOT use any money cheat codes (ex: motherload, kaching, or rosebud).

Generation #1 - Watermelon: One in a Melon

You like to see yourself as the main character, and you think that everyone that comes in contact with you thinks so too.

Everyone absolutely loves you! Or do they? As unique as you are, you want to be a famous actor or actress. Soon enough Hollywood would be signing your name on everything! You find yourself chilling with A-list celebrities and even date a few. You have everything you could ever want! No one can ruin this for you, except maybe yourself.

Get started: Live in a small starter house or apartment. Purchase your basic necessities to survive, and progressively buy more necessities once you start earning some simoleons. Good luck!

Starting simoleons - §1,200

Traits - Charismatic, Dramatic, Snob, Star Quality, and Workaholic

Career - Film

Lifetime Wish - Superstar Actor

Aesthetic Color/Colour

Goals:

Become a five-star celebrity

Ruin your reputation 2 times, make your life a little scandalous! (ex: get publicly disgraced)

Master the Charismatic skill

Reach level 10 in the Film Career (choose the actor branch)

Have 2 close friends

Host a meet & greet once a week (ex: sign autographs and take pictures with fans)

Fall in love with one of your fans

Have as many kids as you want

Generation #2 - Lemon: When life gives you lemons.. you have to deal with some sour sh*t!

Sigh! Your childhood was already enough as it was with being a nepotistic child, but now there’s even more shenanigans.

Apart from hiding in your parents’ shadows and not being the main focus when it comes to the paparazzi. You carry a nice and sweet persona on the outside. Those who were fortunate enough to have a conversation with you say your personality is like, “stuffing their mouths with a bunch of sour candy”, but you didn’t hear that from me. Just know, it’s okay to loosen up a bit. You do not always need to leave a bitter taste in one’s mouth.

In the course of time, you finally meet someone and insert yourself into their life. Love makes you do some silly things. You want to help them with their unlawful issues because you think that you can help them figure things out and get their life back on track. Realistically speaking, you would never think of laying your eyes on someone with a completely different personality than yours and a terrible outlook on life. Oh boy! You’re in for a nice treat.

Traits - Bookworm, Grumpy, Hopeless Romantic, No sense of humor, and Perceptive

Career - Journalism or Private Investigator

Lifetime Wish - Star News Anchor or Pervasive Private Eye

Aesthetic Color/Colour

Goals:

Get romantically involved with a criminal

Be disliked by a few sims. Having “friends” isn’t your thing because people disappoint you

Master the Writing or Logic skill

Reach level 5 in the Journalism or Private Investigator Career, and then quit or get fired

Have 1 failed marriage

Have only 1 child

Have a bad relationship with your child

Find a hobby or skill, and make a source of income out of it

Have a rebound relationship with someone

C H O I C E:

This generation has a choice for you to make. These are choices that you could build off of and integrate into your storyline.

Hmm, it looks like you have found love again. Are you genuinely happy this time? You may be a little traumatized from the last relationship. Just remember, everyone isn’t the same. This rebound relationship could be turning into something really serious. There may even be wedding bells in your future. Do you want to give marriage a second chance or stay in the “dating” stage?

Generation #3 - Strawberry: You’re the sweetest pick of the patch!

Everyone loves you, at least this time. Nobody is actually lying. Good job! Everyone finds you to be the sweetest sim in the patch. And, trust me, you will most definitely take full advantage of all this attention. You mainly use it for a good cause. You love power, but not in an evil kind of way. You want to use that power to help those in need.

You attend University in hopes of being the future president of the free world and eventually start raising a happy family that is way better than how your current family dynamic is right now. I don’t really know anything, but deep down you want to be better than your parents because you have a weird feeling that they were doing some shady things before you were born.

Traits - Friendly, Family-Oriented, Good, Irresistible, and Schmoozer

Career - Political

Lifetime Wish - Leader of the Free World

Aesthetic Color/Colour

Goals:

Fix your relationship with your parent

Maintain A’s in school and even aim to become an honor/honour roll student (child-teen)

In high school, join the debate club

Enroll into University and major in Communications

Host a rant/protest once a week

Donate to a charity once in a while

Join a Social Group (Nerd, Rebel, or Jock)

Throw a party every weekend in Sims University

Earn the Communications degree

Reach level 10 in the Political Career

Be a good role model as a parent and a faithful spouse

Have about 2-4 kids

Retire from the Political Career once an elder

Generation #4 - Green Apple: One bad apple doesn’t spoil the whole bunch..

You want to find love just like how your parents have it. You can’t seem to find someone that fits the description of your dream partner. All of your attempts seem to fall flat. Why? You’re not that bad of a person. You’re just exploring a bit. You may be a little picky, but everyone has their own personal preferences within a person. Right? Hmm.. maybe you’re just picking the wrong kind of sims? Do not give up. Keep putting yourself out there until you find the one. Just do not get yourself caught up. They say the world is one tiny place..

Traits - Commitment Issues, Flirty, Over-emotional, Social Butterfly, and Unlucky

Career - Any self-employed career

Lifetime Wish - Heartbreaker

Aesthetic Color/Colour

Goals:

Maintain a good relationship with your parents

Create an Online Dating Profile

Go out on a date every weekend

Have 10 failed relationships (get caught cheating or initiate a break-up)

Have an accidental baby from a hook-up

Avoid/Lose contact with some of your friends. You forgot about them. You’re too “caught up” in love

Start a Personal Blog

Post daily blogs about your life

Reach level 7 in Social Networking skill

Attempt to meet someone through the Sim Finder App

C H O I C E:

This generation has a choice for you to make. These are choices that you could build off of and integrate into your storyline.

Good news! It looks like you may have found the sim of your dreams through your blog. Out of all those fishes in the sea, it only took ten different sims to find them. Do you try to fix your reputation, and finally settle down or continue to be a.. heartbreaker?

Generation #5 - Blueberry: Life is very sweet, and you are naturally sweet

Being generous and compassionate is one thing, but doing it all the time, even to the sims that do not deserve it.. gets draining. You kept it pushing. Hey, even I am surprised you lasted this long. Everyone makes mistakes. Although, some people are just unforgivable. It turns out you’re the type of sim that doesn’t hold others’ mistakes against them forever because holding grudges is immature.

You’ve studied hard to be in a career that has long tiresome hours where you’re barely at home, and if you think you got lucky in some extra lounge time – Oh! There goes your alarm, it’s time to clock in! Unfortunately, since you’re never home, some things just seem to slip under the rug. Only so much can be slipping through the cracks for you to be completely oblivious. Hmm, I wonder how long this has been going on for? I could never trust someone again after that stunt. Could you?

Traits - Ambitious, Eco-Friendly, Friendly, Genius, and Loves the Outdoors

Career - Science

Lifetime Wish - Become a Creature-Robot Cross Breeder or Renaissance Sim

Aesthetic Color/Colour

Goals:

Have your sim live the Eco-friendly lifestyle (ex: own a bicycle, eat organic food, recycle, etc)

Start a garden

Fish once a day

Catch/Collect 5 different uncommon or rare type of fishes

Master the Gardening, Handiness, and Fishing skill

Engineer a baby or create a small farm (ex: raise chickens, cows, horses, etc)

Fall in love with one of your co-workers

Once married, make your Spouse have 2 affairs and you must stay with them

Try repairing your marriage with your spouse, but only if you catch them cheating

Generation #6 - Grapefruit: Don’t be such a sour puss!

Let’s be realistic here. You need to get your life together. I’m sorry. I know this is something you do not want to hear, but ya need to put a pep in your step and do something with yourself. Pronto!

You find it quite unfair how other sims around you get to go on fancy trips, have nice cars, live in mansions or high-rise buildings, and afford expensive meals. You wonder to yourself how one can achieve all these kind of lifestyles. Dangerous choices can lead to serious consequences, but it’ll never stop you. I would say you like to live your life on the edge. So, what if you leave a place with five different things that do not belong to you? Any who — hey, wait a minute… since when did your neighbor/neighbour get such a nice car? Oh my god! Did they seriously leave their keys in the slot like that? Someone could just steal it. It is a really nice car though. I think I might take it for a little spin around the block.. Finders keepers, losers weepers!

Traits - Athletic, Childish, Hot-headed, Kleptomaniac, and Night-owl

Career - Criminal

Lifetime Wish - Possession is Nine Tenths of the Law

Aesthetic Color/Colour

Goals:

Steal 3 items a day

Possess §50,000 worth of stolen items (do not sell anything)

Befriend your ALL of your neighbors/neighbours. No one knows what you do in your free time. You could get some valuable goodies from them, wink wink

Get arrested

Work out 3 times a week at the community Gym

Master the Athletic skill

Live in a house worth over §100,000

Scuffle with someone once a week

Adopt a child

C H O I C E:

This generation has a choice for you to make. These are choices that you could build off of and integrate into your storyline.

Uh-oh, there’s a new addition to the family. Now, you have a lot of responsibility on your hands. This is very important to you. Is this the perfect time to finally get your life together by quitting your job as a Criminal and find a new job? Or, remain a Criminal, but hide it? This has been your lifestyle for a while. Just remember that this could also make you look like a “bad parent” because children can be easily influenced.

If you have made it to the end of this challenge, we want to thank you so much for participating and completing it. Let us know what you think as well!

Prism Legacy Challenge

As a way for me to properly explore each pack of the Sims 2 (something I haven't really done yet), I took the Not So Berry and LEPacy challenges as inspiration, then I came up with what I call the Prism Legacy challenge! A bit more of info on MTS.

This is a 9 generation legacy where each gen represents an EP (BG included), and a color inspired by the separation of light by prism (hence the name); each one providing a somewhat (hopefully) interesting storyline that utilizes some of the EP’s unique features.

Disclaimer: Please take into consideration that I have a surface level knowledge of every EP, and so I created these “rules” mostly with the help of the Sims Wiki. Some generations may have harder requirements than others (?), so I’m open for opinions, suggestions, ideas, critiques…

With nothing left to say, I present:

GENERAL GUIDELINES

Represent the color of your generation in any way, get creative

Play on normal lifespan

You could play on the same lot or move out with each new generation (just save an apartment lot for gen 9)

Secondary aspirations are more of an afterthought, (I know they’re from FT but I thought of adding them to have more variety in wants and such) so you could choose others or none at all (except for gen 8)

Choose any career unless specifically stated

Have fun!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GENERATION ONE: WHITE Being from a small town with small minds and aspirations was always a struggle since you always dreamed as big as space itself. Your fascination for the cosmos didn’t make you think twice to start over in a new place and aim for the stars, quite literally. Though you should have thought about grabbing a bit more simoleons with you… oh well. #EP: Base Game #Aspiration: Knowledge #Secondary Aspiration: Fortune #Requirements:

Start with 2000 simoleons on an empty lot (alt: an empty house with very basic furniture)

Reach level 9 of the Military career

Max the logic skill

Get abducted and have an alien baby, your heir (use a mod for female founders)

Send your child/children to private school

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GENERATION TWO: RED Growing up, you always felt different from the rest of your family; most likely because you are. And despite that, people tend to dismiss you, overlooked in favor of your parent’s shadow. So you decide to make a name for yourself, enroll to uni, and prove your worth! #EP: University #Aspiration: Popularity #Secondary Aspiration: Knowledge #Requirements:

Earn more than one scholarship

Study what’s necessary to pursuit any of these careers: Artist, Natural Science, Paranormal, Show Business

Join a Greek House and the Secret Society

Throw a graduation party

Reach the top level of your chosen uni career

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GENERATION THREE: ORANGE Your parents keep a neat reputation in the neighborhood, and everyone expects you to follow their scholarly steps and be part of their alma mater. But you want none of that! You only care about the good life, and that’s a life of party and hot dates! #EP: Nightlife #Aspiration: Pleasure #Secondary Aspiration: Romance #Requirements:

Have 5 dream dates

Have at least 2 simultaneous partners

Join the Slacker career

Have an outing at least once a week

Become a single parent of one child only

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GENERATION FOUR: YELLOW Even though your parent gave you love and a fun carefree childhood, you knew from the start you wanted more. So much more. So you wasted no time into making those simoleons rain and commit to a prosperous future for you and your big family. #EP: Open For Business #Aspiration: Fortune #Secondary Aspiration: Family #Requirements:

Sell lemonade during your childhood

Have a job as a teen

Own a business and reach at least level 5

Have at least three kids (the heir would be the youngest)

Earn 2 gold talent badges

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GENERATION FIVE: GREEN You had everything you needed at home, or so you were told. There were many commodities, yes; and food at the table, most importantly. But your parents were so busy providing everything for you that they somehow neglected you; and your relationship with your siblings wasn’t that good either. Good thing you found solace in the companion of your fluffy friends. #EP: Pets #Aspiration: Popularity #Secondary Aspiration: Fortune #Requirements:

Be acquaintance/enemy of one of your siblings

Befriend and adopt a stray

Own at least 1 of each type of pet (dog, cat, wombat, parrot)

Be best friends with all your pets

Teach at least 5 commands/tricks to a pet

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GENERATION SIX: BLUE Nature has been such a big part of your life. But while growing up surrounded by fur and fleas was chaotic fun, you always felt a stronger connection with the outdoors. And though running into the woods and live in the wild is always tempting, you know a neat sustainable garden in the suburbs would do just fine. #EP: Seasons #Aspiration: Family #Secondary Aspiration: Pleasure #Requirements:

Own at least 5 gardening pots and 3 orchard trees

Build a greenhouse

Join the garden club

Earn a gold gardening or fishing badge

Make a wish in the wishing well

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GENERATION SEVEN: INDIGO All you ever wanted to do in your childhood was whisk away from your beautiful and confined backyard. So many places to visit, so many people to meet… The world is big and you are going to see it! And everyone will know about it through you! #EP: Bon Voyage #Aspiration: Popularity #Secondary Aspiration: Knowledge #Requirements:

Visit all vacation sub-hoods for at least 3 days each

Collect at least 10 mementos

Romance a local

Learn Tai-Chi, Fire Dance or Slap Dance

Interact with either the Wise Old Man, Witch Doctor or Bigfoot

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GENERATION EIGHT: VIOLET Knowing your parent fulfilled their dreams inspired you to fulfill yours. And those are dreams of leisure! Sure, you may not know what sparks your interest, but you will try everything in order to figure it out. And you mean everything! And- wait… what is that delicious cheesy smell? #EP: Free Time #Aspiration: Knowledge #Secondary Aspiration: Grilled Cheese #Requirements:

Gain at least 3 point of enthusiasm for each hobby

Max out your predestined hobby

Enter and win a competition

Visit a hobby lot

Have 3 bffs (family or pets not included)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GENERATION NINE: BLACK Life in the subs was all fine and dandy. Too fine and too dandy, actually. Deep down you craved something more chaotic, so to speak. So at the first opportunity you packed your bags and moved into a lovely cramped apartment to enjoy your bachelor life. Rent seems expensive though. #EP: Apartment Life #Aspiration: Romance #Secondary Aspiration: Popularity #Requirements:

Live in an apartment

Find a roommate

Become enemies with a neighbor

Throw a building party

Reach max level reputation (either good or bad)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And that's it! Have fun and happy simming!
