🌑 Legacy Graveyard – Honoring My Sims 🌑

Hi, Simmers! 🖤 As part of my journey to reach 100 generations, I wanted a special way to honor all the Sims who’ve been part of my legacy. I found the perfect base game graveyard on the Gallery, created by the talented Goodlilmousey, and turned it into a resting place for every Sim I’ve lost along the way. 🪦✨

I’ve placed all my Sims’ tombstones here, from my founder to the most recent generations. The lot originally had some debug tombstones, but I carefully replaced them with my own Sims' graves, making it feel even more personal. Now, walking through the graveyard brings back so many memories of their stories, triumphs, and even a bit of chaos. Some of the ghost colors make the whole place feel extra magical (and a little spooky 👻).

Swipe through for some photos! 📸 Do you keep a graveyard for your legacy families, or have other ways to remember your Sims? I’d love to hear how you honor your past generations! 🖤

💗 Not So Berry: Base Game Edition – Generation 7 (Pink) 💗

Time to dive into the next chapter of my 100-Gen Legacy! Still playing through Gen 9-10, but I wanted to share my 7th Generation story featuring Selma Villareal!

💗 Pink Generation Rules:

Complete Postcard Collection: This was surprisingly fun! I loved using the pen pal system for the first time. 📨

Master Writing & Gardening Skills: Writing? Easy with Selma’s focused traits! Gardening? A bit more work but worth it for the aesthetic. 🌱

Quit Day Job: Selma left her business career to write full-time—definitely felt like a Sims version of a mid-life crisis! 😂

💗 Traits & Personality: Neat, Loner, Creative — Selma was a perfectionist with a love for solitude. Her passion for writing made her a bestselling author, but her reserved nature often kept her distant from emotional ties.

🌿 Garden Goals & Creative Pursuits: Completing the well-maintained garden rule felt so rewarding this generation! I even decorated the garden with some sculptures, which added so much charm. Writing skill was a breeze since Selma’s aspiration was Best-Selling Author, but balancing gardening took some dedication. 📚🌷

This was also the first time I tried the "Water Plants with Your Tears" interaction—who knew that was even a thing? 😂 It added such a fun (and slightly dramatic) touch to Selma’s gardening sessions, especially during her more emotional moments.

📖 Why Selma? I chose Selma as my next heir over her twin Ctibor because of her fierce independence, creativity, and ambition. Plus, she fit the Pink Gen vibes perfectly—balancing personal growth with complex relationships.

💔 A Story of Love & Distance: Selma’s life was deeply shaped by her relationship with Jarolím Locke. They first connected in their teens after a spontaneous one-night stand, leading to an on-and-off relationship. Though they never married or lived together, they welcomed their daughter Svatoslava.

Years later, Jarolím married Isidora and had two more children. Even then, his connection with Selma remained complicated. After Isidora’s tragic death, Jarolím finally proposed to Selma—but accepting came with a huge cost.

💔 Difficult Decisions: Upon moving into Jarolím's home, the same house he once shared with Isidora, Selma made the heartbreaking choice to leave Svatoslava (Selma's daughter with Jarolím) behind with her mother, Bernadeta. Watching Selma struggle with balancing personal dreams, love, and motherhood added such a bittersweet layer to this generation’s storytelling.
