Begin gameplay with a starter budget

If any of these rules make gameplay less fun, ignore them! I want this challenge to be enjoyable for everyone <3

Generation 1: Red

Even before you achieve fame, you’re the most feared intern in the office. You are confident, sassy, and will do whatever it takes to succeed. You rise through the ranks of the staff at the San Myshuno Times, making enemies and forging alliances along the way. You’re an acquired taste, but your stamp of approval is desired by up-and-coming and professional artists alike.

Generation 2: Orange

Your parents weren’t the nicest people, but you never cared. You had an uncanny ability to make everybody laugh, and it filled you with joy. You love making others happy, but your motivation is often lacking. Your first two romantic relationships fail due to your apathy and lack of effort. You’d much rather tell some jokes or stream yourself playing guitar than go on a date. Your carelessness leads to two unplanned pregnancies, and to no one’s surprise, you’re not the most involved parent. But when you get older, you meet someone who you decide is worth fighting for, and your first successful relationship begins...

Generation 3: Yellow

Your childhood was chaotic; whether it was an insufficient amount of income, a lack of good parenting, or your parent’s new fling that caused the instability. As you got older, you decided that no other child should grow up in such an unstable place. So, you decide to become a politician. Your lack of money growing up also caused a fairly materialistic mindset in you. You desperately want to be wealthy, and save nearly every penny you make.

Generation 4: Green

You were always the kid with dirt on your face and carrot sticks in your lunch instead of chicken nuggets. Therefore, you were always the kid who got teased. But it didn’t matter. You had your plants and your outdoor crafts and your baking, and you were happy. And then you met your spouse, and you were even happier. You got married young, and are fiercely attached to your partner. You’ve never had a person to yourself before, but them? They’re yours. At first, you’re happy together. But then the honeymoon phase ends, and you learn that you are NOT meant for each other. The final straw is when your spouse cheats on you. Your divorce follows quickly after. But it’s okay. You love your plants and your outdoor crafts and your baking, and they love you.

Traits: Vegetarian, Maker, Jealous

Complete the Freelance Botanist aspiration

Max the Gardening, Fabricating, and Baking skills

Marry your high school sweetheart, but divorce them for cheating on you shortly after becoming an adult

Generation 5: Blue

Your parents didn’t have the best relationship; in fact, it was downright awful. You inherited your parent’s love of nature, but your biggest desire is to raise a happy family. As a young adult, you move to the beautiful island of Sulani, the perfect place to raise a family and make a positive change to the environment.

Generation 6: Purple

Your parents always told you your intelligence was a gift, and the sky was the limit. And you took that to heart. You dream of being the first sim to discover aliens, and through your dedicated work in the field of science, you succeed! But then you are abducted, and your love of aliens turns to fear.

Aspiration: Nerd Brain

Career: Scientist

Max the Logic and Rocket Science skills

Max the Scientist career

Marry another scientist

Be abducted by aliens and get pregnant (you may cheat for this, and it is up to you if you keep the baby or return it to its home world)

Generation 7: Pink

Your parents were paranoid beyond belief, and spent more time inventing devices to protect themselves from the “aliens” than they did spending time with you. So, your bestest friend growing up was your dog/cat. Animals are your main focus, things such as romance and friendships falling to the wayside. As an adult, you move out with the desire to open and run your own veterinary clinic. You treat every patient and pet owner with the utmost respect and class, and your clinic quickly reaches 5 stars. You don’t have any plans to fall in love or get married, but when a client catches your eye, you know it’s fate. You only have one child together, and it’s quite late in your life, but you don’t regret it. Well, that’s a lie. You do regret dying while your child is so young. They needed you, but you couldn't be there.

Traits: Unflirty, Proper, Cat Lover/Dog Lover (your choice)

Aspiration: Friend of the Animals

Career: Veterinarian

Goals:

Complete the Friend of the Animals aspiration

Max the Veterinary and Pet Training skills

Generation 8: Black

Your parents died when you were just a teenager, and in order to make ends meet, you began to “borrow” from your neighbors. A friend of yours hooked you up with a bit of a shady job, and it turned out you were pretty great at being a criminal. Your hacking skills are unparalleled, but your cleaning skills? Not so much. You and a fellow coworker have an on-and-off romance, but when you both discover there’s a baby on the way, you decide to make it official. But after your child is born, you know it isn’t working out, and you call it quits. Your kid sees their other parent on the weekends, but mostly live with you in your messy apartment. Suffice to say, you are not a stellar parent, but you try. Your child just seems miserable all the time…

Traits: Kleptomaniac, Geek, Slob

Aspiration: Chief of Mischief

Career: Criminal - Oracle Branch

Have a flirtation with a coworker. Become an official couple when you/they get pregnant, but go back to being friends after your child is born

Only have one child

Generation 9: Gray

You’re not miserable, per say, but you are not a happy sim. Because of your chaotic childhood, you like things neat, tidy, and perfect, but that’s rarely how life works out. In fact, your life is a mess of business deals, horrible bosses, and passive-aggressive coworkers. Working in business is not fun! You dream of finding love, but that’s a bumpy road as well. After two failed relationships, you finally meet the one. But hey, three is the magic number!

Traits: Perfectionist, Gloomy, Neat

Aspiration: Soulmate

Career: Business

Goals:

Complete the Soulmate aspiration

Max the Logic and Charisma skills

Max the Business career (either branch)

Meet your spouse after two other failed relationships

Have a minimum of three kids

Generation 10: White

You were the youngest of 3(+) siblings, and the most chaotic of them all. You’re a wild whirlwind, and your parents were worn out before you even learned to walk. As a kid, you get your first violin, and it changes everything. Your pour all your spastic energy into your music, your greatest passion. Your future spouse is just as passionate about their creative hobby, and while you two never have kids, you continue to birth your creative ideas until you die.

Traits: Creative, Music Lover, Erratic

Aspiration: Musical Genius

Career: Entertainer - Musician Branch

Goals:

Complete the Musical Genius aspiration

Max the Violin, Guitar, and Piano skills

Call me Tommy - Tommy Shelby

Pairing: Thomas Shelby x Fem!Reader

Request: No. This is another imagine taken from my Wattpad. I wanted to try something different with this one.

Warnings: There's a little swearing. Rose is the name of Tommy and Reader's daughter, Caroline is the name of Rose's daughter (Tommy's and Reader's granddaughter) and Jennifer is the name of Caroline's Daughter (Tommy and Reader's great-granddaughter), hopefully that all makes sense. Grace and Charlie did happen but Lizzie and Ruby didn't because that would have added more confusion for me. There is also names for Reader's siblings. This isn't meant to be cannon in any way, shape, or form.

DISCLAIMER: The GIFS I use are not mine and I take no credit for them. I just find them on here and on Pinterest.

ITALICS ARE FLASHBACK'S TO 1925

Jennifer walks into her elderly grandmother's room at the rest home. Though the 92 year old doesn't remember much from the last 60 years, Jennifer still loved visiting her Grandma Rose. She enjoys listening to the stories Rose tells her, ever since the young 30 year old woman was a child. Her Grandma Rose told the best stories and in the best way. And Rose never forgot telling them to her. It was one of her memories that refuses to fade.

"Good morning, Grandma Rose," The young woman greets her grandmother with a warm smile and kiss to her cheek.

"Good morning, Jenny," the elderly woman smiles, her eyes lighting up seeing her youngest grandchild, the one she's always been closest too and the only one who name hasn't left her mind. All her other grandchildren were familiar faces that didn't visit her as often as Jenny does.

"How are you feeling today?" Jenny asks taking a seat across from her at the small table in her room.

"About the same," she replies. "How's your mother?"

Jenny's mother, Caroline, is Rose's second child and her first daughter. Her uncle, Rose's oldest and only son, died a few years ago from an illness and her younger daughter died when she was just a baby.

"She's good, she's hoping to come see you next week," she informs her though she knows she won't remember it by time tomorrow comes. "She found something for me to show you," she reaches into her handbag, pulling out an envelope. Opening the envelope, she takes out the three photos that are inside and lays them on the table facing Grandma Rose. "Mum found these in the attic and thought you might like them."

A smile graces Rose's lips as tears build up in her eyes looking at the photos with so much love that it makes Jenny feel emotional.

The first photo was of a young woman who couldn't be much older than Jenny is now. The second photo is the same woman with a handsome man, on what looked to be their wedding day, instead of looking at the camera. They were gazing at each other with so much love and adoration it makes Jenny's heart melt. The third photo was the same couple, a little older, with a baby girl sitting on the woman's knee, and a boy who couldn't be more than 10 standing beside her as the man stood behind her with one hands on her shoulder and the other on the boys shoulder.

"This was my mother, Y/N," Rose tells Jenny as she picks up the photo of the woman. "This was before she met my father. Her first husband died in the war. She was only 23. They weren't married more than 6 months. It took her a long time to want to love again and then my father came along. He was a widow himself, with a son, my half-brother Charlie. Do you remember your Uncle Charlie?"

Jenny smiles fondly remember the elderly man that always snuck her treats as she grew up. He had passed five years ago. "He was a lovely man. You both never spoke much of your parents. How did they meet?"

"My mother always said it was fate," She says, her eyes moving to the photo of the married couple as she picks it up. "They met back in 1925..."

Y/N was growing frustrated with Adam, her older brother, as she stands in the only suit shop there is in Small Heath, Birmingham. The 34-year-old didn't want to be here in the first place but of course Adam needed a woman's opinion on the suit that was currently being tailored for him. She doesn't understand why he needed a new suit when he has plenty at home. He told her he didn't have a date or that he wasn't going any where fancy, that he just needs one and that should be enough of an explanation.

Leaving Adam to be tailored, she looks around the ready made suits to see if she could find one she likes for him. Nothing in particular catches her eye. They all looked the same to her but she was no expert on fashion. If it hadn't been for their older sister, Edith, growing up, she wouldn't know how to dress herself appropriately, let alone someone else.

"You would have been better off bringing Edith instead of me," she calls to Adam moving the suits along the rack, "Or better yet that girl you fancy. That's why you want the suit, isn't it?"

"You really thought you were my first choice to bring with me?" he teases and winces after the tailor purposely pokes him with a needle. "Edith was busy with her children."

Edith is almost forty and pregnant with her and her husband's 8th child. Y/N is lost on how Edith could do it, popping out babies all the time. Edith's oldest child, a boy who's 17-years-old, the youngest, a daughter, is 2-years-old. She's due to have her 8th baby in two months.

"And the girl I fancy, is out of town for the week," Adam continues. "I know you don't understand this because you haven't put yourself out there in 10 years, but this suit is going to help me finally ask her on a date."

"Is the suit going to ask her for you?" she teases her brother, earning a chuckle from the tailor.

"For your information my dear little sister, suits give a man a certain confidence like a woman with a beautiful dress that was made just for her," he states confidently. "And at least I'm trying to date. You're almost 35, with no husband and no children, you're a spinster." He winces again as the tailor pokes him even harder this time.

"I'm a widow actually. You're the one who's never been married," she growls at him coming to where he's standing. "Why is it okay for you men to sleep with any woman you want and not have to consider marriage or having a family? But when a woman my age isn't married with children, we're spinsters and unlovable?" She ignores the smirk on the tailors face as she directs her glare at her brother. "You know what, you're on your own."

She turns on her heel and goes to storm out the door when she bumps right into another person, almost knocking herself back on her bottom. Lucky for her, the person's hands find her waist stopping her from falling backwards. "I am so so-"

She is cut off when her eyes connect with eyes so vividly blue that she could drown in them.

"Sorry," she finishes barely above a whisper, as though the air in her lungs have gone.

"Don't apologise," he tells her. "Are you all right?"

She nods unable to find her voice. She's never met a man with such beautiful eyes. She feels herself enchanted by them. When he removes his hands from her, a coldness settles over her. It wasn't until then that she noticed how warmth she felt when he was touching her.

Finding her voice, she decides to introduce herself, holding her hand out towards him. "My name is Y/N L/N."

"Thomas Shelby," he introduces himself taking her hand in his, the warm feeling returning to her. "Call me Tommy."

"Mr Shelby!" the tailor calls to the man in front of her. "I won't be a minute."

Tommy nods towards the man, before looking back at Y/N. "It was lovely to meet you, Ms. L/N."

"It was lovely to meet you too, Mr Shelby," she agrees.

He gives her a small polite smile and moves past her to go towards the tailor. She watches him for a moment, taking him all in, from the way he walks to how he stands, to his mannerisms when he speaks and listens. She didn't know him at all but there was something about him that drew her in and it wasn't just his beautiful ocean blue eyes. She finds herself wanting to know him and everything about him. Little did she know that he was feeling the same about her.

It was at this moment, her brother, fully dressed joins her. "I'm sorry for what I said. I'm just worried for you, sister. I don't want you to end up like mother when father died. I don't want you to end up alone."

"You don't need to worry about me," she tells him as Tommy's eyes connect with her own. She feels her heart skip a bit and her breath catch in her lungs but manages to look away from the handsome man, with his high cheek bones, plump lips and beautiful eyes.

Her brother notices what's happening and lets out a small groan as he pulls her out of the suit shop "Of course the first man to take your fancy after 10 years is none other than Thomas Fuckin' Shelby."

"You know him?" her gaze snaps to Adam as they walk towards their shared home.

"How do you not know who he is?" he answers with his own question, looking at her like she's grown three heads. "Everyone from Birmingham knows who he is."

"We're not from Birmingham, are we?" she scoffs. "So who is he?"

"He's the fuckin' King of Birmingham. Leader of the Peaky Blinders."

"Well, that just makes him even more interesting," she mumbles more to herself as she gazes back towards the shop, hoping to see another glimpse of the handsome gangster.

"Your Great-Grandfather had quite the reputation in Birmingham, even in London. A lot of people would say he was ruthless, cold, demeaning and a lot of other bad words and he was those things but he was also very smart, caring, loyal and he loved my mother completely. She was his Queen and he treated her like one. Everything he did was for us and the rest of his family," Grandma Rose explains after telling the story of how her parents met. "You look him up on that computer thing you have, but don't believe everything you read. The coppers had it out for him and tried to make him out to be the worst human being they had met. But there was also someone out there much worse than him."

"Do you think about them often?" Jenny asks her.

She nods, "All the time, more so now since I'll be joining them and Charlie soon."

"Hopefully not too soon," Jenny smiles sadly. The thought of losing her Grandma Rose breaks her heart.

Rose reaches out to hold her granddaughters hand. "I want you to keep the photos. They would love for you to have them. You look just like her."

"My mother? I know." She gives her hand a gentle squeeze, hearing the words Rose always told her, more so now that she was losing her mind.

"No, not Caroline. My mother, Y/N. You look just like her but you have my father's eyes. Those beautiful blue ones that could drown someone in them," Rose smiles and stands up from her chair. "I love you Jennifer, don't ever forget that."

"I won't," Jenny says as she helps the elderly woman into her bed. "I love you too, Grandma Rose." She places a kiss to her cheek and goes back to the table, looking at the photos once more as she picks them up and puts them back inside the envelope.

Jenny looks back to her grandmother who's already drifted off to sleep and smiles. She goes back over to her and places a kiss on her forehead before leaving the room, closing the door behind her. The first she decides to do as she leaves the rest home is to look up Thomas Shelby, her great-grandfather.

Chapter Two: Some Like It Cold

Hocus Pocus series

Pairing: Steve Harrington x f!reader

Summary: Hocus Pocus AU. You, Steve, and Dustin find out just who you’re up against and make a plan to try and defeat them.

Word count: 6600

Warnings: Swearing, canon-typical death/violence/horror/blood

A/N: This chapter is also my contribution to @sparklingsin’s Spookinktober event! My prompt was Halloween sleepover which I realised fit perfectly into this chapter, so I hope you love it!

Read on AO3

You stared in bewilderment at Steve, then Dustin, then the dashboard in front of you as you tried to process everything they had just finished telling you. You could feel their eyes on you as you tried to compose your reeling mind. The weight of the spell book on your lap did not help to ground you, and you determinedly kept your eyes off of it.

“So basically…” You trailed off, trying to find the right words. “There’s another version of Hawkins in another dimension-”

“The Upside-Down,” Dustin supplied helpfully.

“Right. And there are monsters that come from the Upside-Down, which you guys have been fighting for a few years.”

“Uh-huh.”

“And we just summoned three monsters from that other dimension, which could mean the end of the world.”

“Technically it was Steve that did the summoning, but yes.”

“Not the time, man.” Steve glanced across at you in concern. “Are you okay? It’s a lot to take in.”

At that moment, Dart placed his front paws on the back of your seat and leaned forward to look at Steve with his big green eyes.

“Take a left up here please,” said the cat politely.

Steve gave you an incredulous look as if to say “please tell me I’m not the only one that can hear him” and you let out a shaky breath as he followed the cat’s directions.

“Let’s just…do what the immortal talking cat tells us for now and think about whether or not I’m okay later.”

Not So Berry Legacy Challenge

Do you like the rainbow? Do you like the idea of playing with berry Sims but hate berry Sims? Do you want to mess around with aspects of the game you’ve never used before? Boy, do I have the challenge for you!

Welcome to the Not So Berry Legacy Challenge, a ten generation legacy with a focus on bright colors and new experiences.

Basic Rules:

Each heir must represent the color of the generation (i.e. hair, makeup, clothing), but brightly colored skin is not necessary (these aren’t actually berry Sims, that’s the joke)

The colors of the spouses don’t matter as they aren’t part of the challenge. Unless otherwise stated you can do whatever you please with them.

Money cheats can be used, but not excessively. Suggestion: use freerealestate for your first home, but no cheats afterward.

You may live wherever you please unless something is specified in the rules of a generation.

Every generation is supposed to complete both the career and aspiration of the heir unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Keep the lifespan on normal.

If you play this challenge and want to share it with us, go ahead and post with #notsoberry so we can see!

My good friend @alwaysimming and I kind of created this challenge on accident, but I think it turned out pretty great. We wanted to make something that forced us to play with parts of the game we’ve never explored before. Hopefully you’ll have fun too. You can follow our gameplay on @mintiphresh and @lea-fey (pronounced “minty fresh” and “leafy”)!

Family Dynamics Challenge 2.0

Henlooo, so the family dynamics challenge is originally by Pastellapixels and standingsimmer and all the credit goes to them! However I just changed it here and there because it's been so long since the challenge was updated and there are a few new additions to the game, career and aspiration wise. if you guys have any suggestions, or if you wanna correct me on some stuff please do let me know!

General Rules

Begin with a single sim

No cheats or mods that serve to enhance gameplay over other simmers (MC Command Center is permitted for baby gender/number control and risky woohoo only)

May use “freerealestate on” when starting the first generation ONLY

Custom saves are allowed, and encouraged, to add an infusion of new gameplay opportunities

Each career and aspiration must be completed unless expressly stated otherwise (if a career branch is not specified, then the choice is completely up to you!)

Have fun! Don’t let the rules of this challenge confine you and inhibit your creativity. Unless the rules explicitly direct you, we encourage you to make the gameplay your own

Generation One: “White picket fence”

From the time that you strike out on your own as a young adult, you dream of cultivating loving familial relationships as rich and unique as the dishes you love to create. You marry younger than some of your friends, raise a bundle of children, and enjoy gardening and entertaining in your spare time. Yet, you still devote a portion of your life to your hidden dream of becoming a master chef.

Traits: Outgoing, Foodie, Family-Oriented

Aspiration: Successful Lineage

Career: Culinary (Master Chef branch)*

Rules:

Complete at least five (5) gold-level dinner parties

Master cooking skill and gourmet cooking skill

Marry as a YA and stay happily married until “death do us part”

Have 3-4 children

Maintain a garden and take up canning as a hobby

Simple living should always be on

Complete at least ¾ levels of aspiration

*Upon completing level 5 of the Culinary career, you may also choose to leave the career and open a restaurant instead. (optional because we know that Dine Out suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks)

Generation Two: “Why ever leave?”

You were raised to believe that “home is where the heart is.” And because of this, you rarely venture into the outside world unless given a really good reason to do so. You choose not to leave your parents’ home to pursue your own path at the same time that a lot of others do. Video games and programming became your passion while holed up in your basement bedroom, and thankfully your career of choice doesn’t require a lot of socialization. Leftover pizza, anyone?

Traits: Lazy, Slob, Geek

Aspiration: Computer Whiz

Career: Tech Guru (eSport Gamer branch)

Rules:

Win a GeekCon competition while cosplaying

Master programming and video gaming skills

Play the guitar as a hobby (no skill requirement)

Order a pizza delivery or something on Zoomers every night of the week

Never move out of childhood home until parents have died

Generation Three: “Top of the World”

Being raised by a parent with an affinity for keeping close to home never quelled your sense of adventure and love for the outdoors when growing up. After a trip to Komorebi with a few friends during your highschool you find that there is more to the world other than your hometown and there’s more people to meet along the way. Being made a single parent at a young age only helped to build the desire within you to remain free of the clutches of a conventional job or relationship. And so, you devote your heart to reaching the peak of Komorebi and sharing to the world your process of getting there.

Traits: Cheerful, Unflirty, Adventurous

Aspiration: Extreme Sports Enthusiast

Career: Self-employed (Vlogger, with Get famous use the drone to create videos and upload them through the video station)

Rules:

Have a two-night stay at a rental in Mt. Komorebi as a teen with friends and explore the town

Become a single parent as a young adult

Master rock climbing and snowboarding skills (snowboarding is optional)

Totally optional but you can compete the simmies collection

Reach the peak of Mt. Komorebi

Get the Adrenaline seeker lifestyle

Generation Four: “Work away the pain”

Let’s be honest: you had a pretty good upbringing. Even though there were some rough patches, you know that your parent did the best they could to raise you alone. But, deep down, being alone is the very thing you fear more than anything. So, you cover it up with work. You work 10x harder than anyone else in your family probably. But deep down you still crave stability and so as a desperate attempt to fill the emptiness that drives you, you marry a close friend only to find later that your spouse hasn’t been faithful. Eventually, you break down and take things lightly with the help of your family. They teach you how to have a healthier outlet for your frustrations. Who knew flower arranging was so relaxing?

Traits: Insider, Romantic, Perfectionist

Aspiration: Academic

Career: Lawyer (Private Attorney branch)

Rules:

Master Research and Debate Skill and Charisma Skill

Earn a degree of Language and Literature from Britechester University (you can stop aging while in University)

Reach level 5 of the flower arranging skill, start when you’re an adult

Marry first GF/BF as a YA

Turn blind eye to spouse’s cheating

Eventually divorce spouse; never remarry

Get the workaholic lifestyle and try to lose it later in life

Generation Five: “Struggling in Los Simgeles”

You come from a broken home. Growing up, you witnessed first-hand the havoc that infidelity can bring on a family. You determine from a young age that you will pour your soul into forging close relationships with your spouse and children. The city draws you, and it is there that you decide to make your home. However, despite your best efforts as an actress later in life, tragedy claims one of your children long before their time. You wear a shroud of sadness from then on, but find that the love of your remaining child(ren) and your ability to immerse yourself into your roles might just pull you through in the end.

Traits: Gloomy, High maintenance, Vegetarian

Aspiration: Super Parent

Career: Actress

Rules:

Master acting skills

Reach level 10 acting career

Live in an apartment from YA

Have twins

Get nominated for your works (I would add winning just as an option here because we know the game is kinda dumb)

Lose one child to death

Visit child’s grave at least once per week; leave their bedroom untouched

Generation Six: “Living with a broken heart”

You lost a sibling at a very young age and witnessed your parents’ grief while still trying to process it yourself. Rather than trying to pick up the pieces, you let the sadness consume you. And at the same time you have this whole 'This bloodline ends with me' thing going on because of what you've went through. At first you have been recruited to become a secret agent, but after finding out how corrupt the system is, you decide to screw it because if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em! Am I right? Theft and criminal activity become appealing to you, and eventually you give yourself over to that lifestyle. Even though you’re more at home in your contemplative solitude, you take comfort with a woohoo buddy who eventually gets you pregnant/or you get pregnant. So now you're wanted criminal caring for a child that you have no idea how to take care of. But there’s a surprising side to you; the raging in your heart is only calmed by the time you spend painting.

Traits: Kleptomaniac, Loner, Genius

Aspiration: Painter Extraordinaire

Career: Secret Agent (Villain)

Rules:

Run away from home as a soon as you become a teen & never speak to parents again

Do not “inherit” any money from parents

Paint as a coping method

Develop mischief and logic skills

Create a club of sims who are kleptomaniac

Pull a heist: Steal at least 10 items over the course of the generation

Have a woohoo buddy that results in pregnancy

Completing your aspiration is not necessary

Generation Seven: “Here to make a difference”

There is only one word to describe your childhood: lonely. You knew from a young age that the parent you lived with took no pleasure in your company, and you’ve always felt that you were the “mistake” that resulted from a careless decision. As a result, you pour effort into building relationships with those who truly care about you, and even attempt to mend relationships with those who don’t. You have a core group of people who mean the world to you, and you spend as much time with them as you can. Becoming a teacher was an obvious choice, as it provides you with the tools you need to reach others. And while you’re a social creature by nature, you never turn down the opportunity to curl up with a good book.

Traits: Good, Geek, Bookworm

Aspiration: Friend of the World

Career: Teacher (Professor branch)

Rules:

Attempt to mend relationships with estranged grandparents and parent

Maintain a club of “besties” from YA onwards

Have a movie night with club once per week

Master the charisma and wellness skills

Marry a club member

Read at least 10 unique books over the course of the generation

Have at least two biological children and adopt at least one child

Volunteer with family at least once a week

Generation Eight: “Archaeology is my passion”

Growing up, you were constantly surrounded by family and close friends who loved you. But you desire more than just the daily interaction with your family. Exploring the jungle is your passion and so is digging up old relics. You eventually create a store where you sell the things you have collected from your journey. Even though starting up your own business means you have to live with your parents longer than most of your friends, you don’t mind because it means you’re close to the people you love. In fact, closeness and similar interests cause you to fall in love with someone who accompanies you during your trips to Selvadorada, and they don’t mind that you can’t yet afford a place of your own. In your “spare time” (hah!), you enjoy photographing places near and far, searching for that perfect shot. Between trying to run a successful shop and your photography hobby, you’re not able to spend as much time with your children as you like. But that’s okay; you’re out there living your dreams.

Traits: Cheerful, Self-Assured, Cat Lover OR Dog Lover (player chooses)

Aspiration: Archaeology Scholar

Career: Self-Employed (runs a store)

Rules:

Live with parents until they die while trying to get retail store off the ground

Have a child as a YA with a Selvadoradian local

Marry the father/mother of their child once parents die

Master archaeology skill, and photography skills

Must take at least one photo in every world

Generation Nine: “Business-minded and musically-inclined”

Your parents worked hard for every penny that they earned, but you were just left feeling like they didn’t care about you as much as the expensive relics in their shop. Your grandparents are your closest friends while they’re still alive. After all, they practically raised you. As a young adult, you desire the family you feel you never had and start a family quickly…only to find out that you’re married to someone you don’t love as much as you should. You have a “responsible” 9-5 interior decorator job, but you also possess real musical talent. Even though you would never consider leaving your job, investing in your music is something you do quite regularly. You eventually remarry after finding real love, and enjoy the rest of your life mediating a mixed family. Will you find true happiness amidst the wealth and your demanding job?

Traits: Creative, Ambitious, Clumsy

Aspiration: Musical Genius

Career: Interior Designer

Rules:

Become good friends with one or both grandparents

Marry and have at least one child; divorce spouse

Later remarry and have at least one child (think “Yours, Mine & Ours”)

Master violin and piano skills

Achieve level 5 of either the singing or guitar skill

Hire and keep a butler

Eat out at a restaurant at least once per week

Generation Ten: “To the stars”

Objectively speaking, your life is great. You never really wanted for anything as a child. The overactive imagination that you possess lends itself perfectly to your love of space. You create a group with people who love the same things as you. The stars fascinates you, but more than anything you desire to find true love. So you find one in your club. You and your significant other would do anything just to discover the worlds unknown to simkind. It was your dream together. But when your significant other suddenly dies while tweaking with the rocket ship when you were young adults, you were devastated. You couldn't finish the rocket ship that you and your loved one had started. As you mourn, drinking becomes your method to quiet a broken heart and provide a false sense of peace. But at a time when your hope begins to lag, your decision to adopt a child despite your own childlessness is the final push you need to persevere. You eventually create the rocket ship and go to Sixam, bringing the love of your life's urn and placing it there as their final resting place. You go back to earth, and live the rest of your life in peace as you have succeeded in creating your own bittersweet ending following a long line of sims with odd stories: some happy, and some not.

Traits: Hot-Headed, Genius, Erratic

Aspiration: Nerd Brain

Career: Astronaut

Rules:

Master rocket science, handiness and logic skill

Find true love at a young age, significant other dies through electrocution

Successfully travel to Sixam and place the urn your beloved there

Adopt a child or children

Retire from the astronaut career and spend the rest of your living days writing 10 stories about you and your ancestors

Family Dynamics Challenge

Greetings, fellow simmers! Welcome to the landing page for our Family Dynamics Challenge, specifically created for the Sims 4. This challenge was created by Pastella Pixels and standingsimmer with the goal to set forth a unique (and fun!) set of guidelines for a ten-generation legacy challenge centered around a variety of family dynamics.

If you choose to play this challenge on any platform, please feel free to use the hashtag #familydynamicschallenge so we can enjoy your gameplay too!

General Rules

Begin with a single sim

No cheats or mods that serve to enhance gameplay over other simmers (MC Command Center is permitted for baby gender/number control and risky woohoo only)

May use “freerealestate on” when starting the first generation ONLY

Custom saves are allowed, and encouraged, to add an infusion of new gameplay opportunities

Each career and aspiration must be completed unless expressly stated otherwise (if a career branch is not specified, then the choice is completely up to you!)

Have fun! Don’t let the rules of this challenge confine you and inhibit your creativity. Unless the rules explicitly direct you, we encourage you to make the gameplay your own

Generation One: “White picket fence”

Traits: Outgoing, Foodie, Family-Oriented

Aspiration: Successful Lineage

Career: Culinary (Master Chef branch)*

Rules:

Complete at least five (5) gold-level dinner parties

Master cooking and baking skills

Marry as a YA and stay happily married until “death do us part”

Have 3-4 children

Maintain a garden with at least 10 unique plants, including a cowplant

Complete at least ¾ levels of aspiration

*Upon completing level 5 of the Culinary career, you may also choose to leave the career and open a restaurant instead

Generation Two: “Why ever leave?”

Traits: Lazy, Slob, Geek

Aspiration: Computer Whiz

Career: Tech Guru (eSport Gamer branch)

Rules:

Win a GeekCon competition while cosplaying

Meet spouse at GeekCon

Master programming and video gaming skills

Play the guitar as a hobby (no skill requirement)

Order pizza for dinner at least one night per week

Never move out of childhood home until parents have died

Generation Three: “Support my family”

Being raised by a parent with an affinity for keeping close to home never quelled your sense of adventure and love for the outdoors when growing up. You love finding hidden treasures and collecting “useless” items, hoping to convince others of their value. Being made a single parent at a young age only helped to build the desire within you to remain free of the clutches of a “normal” job or relationship. And so, you devote your heart to running your own business and being the best parent that you can.

Traits: Cheerful, Unflirty, Loves the Outdoors

Aspiration: The Curator

Career: Self-employed (owns a retail store and sells collectibles/woodworking creations)

Rules:

Become a single parent as a young adult

Master handiness and charisma skills

May sell items at Flea Market whenever possible

Visit the secret lot in Oasis Springs

Travel to a vacation world at least 3 times

Generation Four: “Laugh away the pain”

Let’s be honest: you had a pretty good upbringing. Even though there were some rough patches, you know that your parent did the best they could to raise you alone. But, deep down, being alone is the very thing you fear more than anything. So, you cover it up with laughter,…both the laughter which bubbles from inside you and that which you try to create in others. You marry young in a desperate attempt to fill the emptiness that drives you, only to find later that your spouse has chosen another. Eventually, you have to face the fact that your family and the laughter are enough to hold you up. Oh, and did we mention you mix some crazy DJ tapes in your free time?

Traits: Goofball, Romantic, Active

Aspiration: Joke Star

Career: Entertainer (Comedian branch)

Rules:

Master DJ and comedy skills

Reach level 5 of the fitness skill (jogging only)

DJ at a club at least once per week

Marry first GF/BFas a YA

Turn blind eye to spouse’s cheating

Eventually divorce spouse; never remarry

Generation Five: “Struggling in the city”

You come from a broken home. Growing up, you witnessed first-hand the havoc that infidelity can bring on a family. You determine from a young age that you will pour your soul into forging close relationships with your spouse and children. The city draws you, and it is there that you decide to make your home. However, despite your best efforts as a doctor later in life, tragedy claims one of your children long before their time. You wear a shroud of sadness from then on, but find that the love of your remaining child(ren) and your ability to express yourself through song might just pull you through in the end.

Traits: Gloomy, Genius, Music Lover

Aspiration: Super Parent

Career: Doctor

Rules:

Master singing and parenting skills

Reach level 5 of the logic skill

Live in an apartment from YA onwards

Have more than one child

Win at karaoke night at least once

Lose one child to death

Visit child’s grave at least once per week; leave their bedroom untouched

Generation Six: “Living with a broken heart”

You lost a sibling at a very young age and witnessed your parents’ grief while still trying to process it yourself. Rather than trying to pick up the pieces, you let the sadness consume you. You give into your darkest thoughts. Theft and criminal activity appeal to you, and eventually you give yourself over to that lifestyle. Even though you’re more at home in your contemplative solitude, you take comfort once in a one-night-stand. But there’s a surprising side to you; the raging in your heart is only calmed by the time you spend cultivating life in the soil.

Traits: Kleptomaniac, Loner, Vegetarian

Aspiration: Public Enemy

Career: Criminal

Rules:

Run away from home as a teen & never speak to parents again

Do not “inherit” any money from parents

Garden as a coping method

Master mischief and gardening skills

Steal at least 10 items over the course of generation

Have a one-night-stand with a coworker that results in pregnancy

Generation Seven: “Here to make a difference”

There is only one word to describe your childhood: lonely. You knew from a young age that the parent you lived with took no pleasure in your company, and you’ve always felt that you were the “mistake” that resulted from a careless decision. As a result, you pour effort into building relationships with those who truly care about you, and even attempt to mend relationships with those who don’t. You have a core group of people who mean the world to you, and you spend as much time with them as you can. Becoming a politician was an obvious choice, as it provides you with the tools you need to reach others. And while you’re a social creature by nature, you never turn down the opportunity to curl up with a good book.

Have at least two biological children and adopt at least one child

Volunteer with family at least twice

Generation Eight: “Working with animals is my passion”

Growing up, you were constantly surrounded by family and close friends who loved you. But you desired more than just human interaction. Animals are your passion, and your biggest dream is becoming a vet and opening your own clinic someday. Even though starting up your own business means you have to live with your parents longer than most of your friends, you don’t mind because it means you’re close the people you love. In fact, closeness and similar interests cause you to fall in love with someone who works at your vet clinic, and they don’t mind that you can’t yet afford a place of your own. In your “spare time” (hah!), you enjoy photographing places near and far, searching for that perfect shot. Between trying to run a successful clinic and your photography hobby, you’re not able to spend as much time with your children as you like. But that’s okay; you’re out there living your dreams.

Your grandparents are your closest friends while they’re still alive. After all, they practically raised you. As a young adult, you desire the family you feel you never had and start a family quickly…only to find out that you’re married to someone you don’t love as much as you should. You have a “responsible” 9-5 at the local business office, but you also possess real musical talent. Even though you would never consider leaving your job at the office, investing in your music is something you do quite regularly.

The supernatural fascinates you, but more than anything you desire to find true love. When your significant other suddenly dies prematurely, you immediately begin to seek out a way to bring them back to you. As you search, drinking becomes your method to quiet a broken heart and provide a false sense of peace. But at a time when your hope begins to lag, your decision to adopt a child despite your own childlessness is the final push you need to persevere. You succeed in creating your own happy ending following a long line of sims with odd stories: some happy, and some not.
