1920s BIRTHSTONE LOOKBOOK - PART 2

Welcome back to the glitz and glamour of the 1920s birthstone lookbook! After hair, jewellery is my favourite CC to hunt for so these ensembles were so much fun for me to put together. Want more good time gals and fabulous flappers? You can check out part one here. CC links under the cut.

Ruby is one of the most expensive gemstones and with its rich red colour it isn't hard to see why. Rubies have long been connected with physicality and strength, thought to be intimately connected with the human body.

Hair | Earrings (TSR) | Necklace (TSR) | Dress | Gloves | Bracelets | Ring (TSR) | Shoes (TSR)

Peridot is one of my favourite stones thanks to its gorgeous yellow-green hue. Because of this lively appearance they were often thought to protect their wearer at night.

Sapphire is considered a protective gemstone. They may shield the wearer from physical harm, as well as bad intentions and envy. It was also thought that sapphires had medicinal properties.

Hat | Hair | Earrings | Necklace (TSR) | Coat | Gloves & Stockings (Base Game) | Shoes

Opal is an incredibly unique gemstone with its multi-coloured appearance. Opals are associated with light and magic, with some crediting them with healing properties.

Hair | Earrings | Necklace (TSR) | Feather Trim | Dress Mesh (retired - direct download) | Dress Recolour (retired - direct download) | Gloves | Bracelet (TSR) | Ring (TSR) | Stockings | Shoes

Topaz comes from the Sanskrit word for fire, which is reflected in its vibrant and rich orange-yellow colour. It is believed that topaz worn above the heart assures long life, beauty and intelligence.

Hair | Hairband | Earrings | Choker (TSR) | Coat | Dress | Gloves (Vampires) | Shoes

Blue Topaz actually comes out of the ground colourless or pale blue. A two-step heat and radiation laboratory treatment is then used to turn these stones vivid blue.

The Gemstone Legacy Challenge

It's been a very long time since I last did a challenge, and in the days leading up to my new computer I decided to come up with some ideas for a future legacy challenge to more or less christen this bad boy. This is a 10 generation legacy with a fairly heavy focus on different family dynamics within certain generations.

Tag: 'gemstone legacy challenge' or @ me!

Rules:

✔ There are none! Have fun and follow the generational rules as you see fit!

Generation 1: Rose Quartz

‘You were raised as an only child by a single parent. It was a happy yet lonely life but you always wanted more: you wanted a large, hectic home, a loving spouse, and kids of your own. A surprise inheritance finally gives you that opportunity, and you move from the big city to a small country home, with all the room to grow that you could want!’

Recommended colour: light pink Recommended traits: nurturing, good, family-oriented, natural cook

Move to a small house on a large lot (50x50 or 60x60 is recommended!). This will be your primary legacy home throughout this challenge.

Begin working in the culinary career

Meet the one not long after moving to town. You quickly start dating and soon find yourself expecting your first child.

Get married after you have two children

After you have your third child, you decide to become a stay-at-home parent - you can continue to add to the household funds through various hobbies if you wish!

Have a total of five kids and one must be adopted!

Generation 2: Lapis Lazuli

‘You grew up in a loud, hectic family home. Whilst you didn't hate it, you always preferred the quiet, keeping your head down to focus on schoolwork and eventually your career. As a young adult, you throw yourself into the law enforcement career, but eventually realise that is not your true passion and decide to follow your dreams as your parent did many years ago.’

Recommended colour: dark blue and/or light blue Recommended traits: workaholic, genius, supernatural sceptic, loner

Finish high school with an ‘A’

Be a part of an after-school club in high school

Optional: Graduate as valedictorian

Join the law enforcement career after graduation

Meet your future partner (can be a work colleague)

Optional: Get married

Have at least two children 

After reaching level 5 of your career or becoming an adult, you decide to change your life and quit to become a ghost hunter

Separate or divorce from your partner but remain on good terms

Generation 3: Ruby

‘You came from a rather unusual family. Your grandparents married young and remained devoted all their lives; your parents divorced as adults, dividing your family. Like your grandparents, you want to find your soulmate, but unfortunately despite having a kind and loving heart, it does not come easy to you. After several failed relationships, you question if you will ever find the one, or whether your parents' failed love has doomed you.’

Recommended colour: red Recommended traits: flirty, irresistible, hopeless romantic, friendly, schmoozer

Have at least seven friends

Work a part-time job as a teenager before becoming a nectar maker as a young adult

Travel at least once to Champs Les Sims

Have three failed relationships before finding the one

Have two children

Throw or attend a party at least once a week

Generation 4: Onyx

‘You grew up in a happy, loving family, but you were always a little different. A quiet, shy thing, you preferred your solitude and books, instead of interacting with others or participating in parties like the rest of your family. As you grow older, the differences between you and the rest of your family cause a wedge to form, and you long to find someone who understands you. A chance encounter with an occult opens up a whole new world to you.’

Recommended colour: black and/or dark grey Recommended traits: bookworm, shy, grumpy, supernatural fan

Be close with your family as a child but start to grow apart as a teenager

Become enemies with your sibling

Become a writer

Meet your future partner at a park

After two dates, allow yourself to be turned or become a witch

Move into an old, mysterious mansion (up to you as to how this looks!)

Have children

Generation 5: Bloodstone

‘You were born as an occult. Regardless of your opinion on the matter, you were raised to be the best vampire or witch you could be, not to be ashamed of who you were, nor to hide from others. Will you follow what's in your blood or fight to change your destiny?’

Recommended colour: dark green and red Recommended traits: genius, charismatic, virtuoso

Note: This generation can be played in two ways!

Get married (partner must be a witch or vampire like yourself)

Have one child

Make or purchase the cure for your condition, but do not use it on yourself 

Generation 6: Pearl

‘Your parent may or may not have been able to cure themselves, but you will not fail. You hear of a cure being advertised at the local laboratory. It seems too good to be true but you take a chance and are rewarded for your efforts. Congratulations, you are now a human. A new life reveals itself in front of you and you can live as you see fit. You've always been a compassionate soul and decide to join the medical career to help and heal others.’

Have your first and only child as an adult

Move the other parent of your child into the family (up to you whether you live as a couple or not)

Generation 7: Citrine

‘You have a rather unconventional family and an upbringing that's different from most. You love your parents but find their lives too neat and too clinical. With or without their approval, you decide to become a performer, it's less stable than their careers but it brings you joy, and perhaps you can bring others joy along the way too!'

Get married 

Become a celebrity 

Generation 8: Moss Agate

‘As a child, you loved living the high life thanks to your famous parent. However, as you grew older, you began to resent that lifestyle, hating the paparazzi and the lack of privacy.

The Gemstone Legacy Challenge

Enjoy drama filled game play? Ready to help your Sim through generational trauma? Enjoy The Not So Berry Challenge? Well then welcome to The Gemstone Legacy Challenge!

Think of it as the Not So Berry Challenge, but with less packs required to complete it. Before we start with the requirements of each generation, we should probably go over some of the rules first!

Much like The Not So Berry Challenge, each heir/heiress must represent the color of each gemstone. You do not have to make the skin match if you choose not to, but you must do it in another way (ex: hair, clothes, makeup, etc.)

Spouses' colors aren't a big deal. If you want to make them match, more power to you, but it's not required.

You can use the freerealestate cheat when getting a home, but it can only be used once for each generation. You may also use a money cheat, but only if it's going towards something that is part of the challenge (ex:buying a required item)

Unless it's required of the generation rule, you can choose where to live.

Lifespan has to be on normal settings, otherwise it's not really a challenge.

There's no specific gender you have to start with, but the first generation has to be able to reproduce.

Each name must match the gemstone the generation is signed to (you can name them that particular gemstone as well if you so desire)

Every aspiration must be completed before you can start playing as the next generation. Careers only get fully completed if it's stated in the generation's rules.

Generation One: Amber- Orange

You're new in town, which means you're pretty lonely. But that's all to change once you start going out and meeting new people! You just want to take life one step at a time, not feeling any kind of rush. You go at your own pace and march to the beat of your own drum.

Career: Freelancer (any of your choosing)

Traits: Self-Assured, Cheerful, Lazy

Aspiration: Friend Of The World

Rules:

Must have at least one child as an Adult (though the child can be born while you're a Young Adult)

Collect all 24 Gemstones

Master the Charisma skill

Throw birthday parties each life stage for self and child(ren)

Generation Two: Amethyst- Purple

You grew up with a parent who was well known, but was never well off due to laziness. You feel like you missed out on having the finer things in life, but certainly don't plan on continuing to do so. You may be a parent, but your child(ren) are an afterthought sometimes.

Career: Style Infulencer

Traits: Creative, Materialistic, Self-Absorbed

Aspiration: Fabulously Wealthy

Rules:

Must marry into money (ex: one of the Landgraabs or Goths)

Transfer all the money from the spouse's original household when moving them in to yours

Master the photography skill

Master The Style Influencer career

Start having child(ren) as an Adult

Have at least one affair after you're married (could be a short one or years long one, you choose)

Generation Three: Beryl- Teal

Growing up, you weren't noticed much, making you resent children (even though it's your parent(s) you should probably be mad at). You were practically raised on computers and gaming and have made them your whole life. Even though you have no desire for children, your spouse does and because you love them so much, you agree to have one, though you'll ignore them anyways by throwing yourself into your work.

Career: Tech Guru

Aspiration: Computer Whiz

Rules:

Marry a Family Oriented Sim

Only have one child

Master the Tech Guru career

Have a low relationship with your child (you may use cheats if need be)

Master the Logic skill

Be Best Friends with your spouse

Generation Four: Diamond- Gray

You've worked so hard to earn your parent's love, but they avoided you like the plague. To make up for it, you worked your way to the top to become a beloved actor/actress, which is how you met your spouse. As soon as you hit it big, you only associate with others like yourself, forgetting all your childhood friends and even your parent who's love you wanted the most. Perhaps you're better off without them?

Career: Actor/Actress

Traits: Ambitious, Outgoing, Snob

Aspiration: Aspiring Star

Rules:

Marry another Actor/Actress

Master the Acting Career and skill

Master the guitar skill

Have triplets (you can use cheat for this)

Stop contact with generation 3 at career rank 3

Move to Del Sol Valley as a Young Adult

Generation Five: Jade- Green

Being in a set of triplets and having famous parents, not only were you never bored, but you were also never alone and now all you want is peace and quiet as you practice your secret love of baking. You leave your old town and move to Oasis Springs because SimsGod knows nobody wants to go there.

Rules:

Master the Astronaut Career

Have a failed marriage to a Sim with the Slob Trait and 2 failed relationships before that

Master the Baking skill

Have woohoo with an alien resulting in a pregnancy

Generation Six: Onyx- Black

If the dictionary had pictures, yours would be in there next to “Black Sheep”. You never really fit in with the rest of your family. Maybe because you're half alien, or maybe because unlike your parents, you want nothing to do with space. You like Earth and everything it has to offer and don't understand why your parent wants an escape so badly.

Career: Politician

Have one of each pet (varies on the packs you own)

Master the gardening and pet training skills

For that, you value family and love and all around togetherness, which inspired you to want to protect and serve the local families like yours, but sometimes your passion can make you a little hot under the collar.

Traits: Active, Childish, Hot-Headed

Aspiration: City Native

Rules:

Move to San Myshuno

Master the Detective career

Master the Fitness and Logic skills

Marry a neighbor in your apartment complex

Conceive a child in a closet or observatory

Generation Eight: Ruby- Red

Your parents were never shy about showing each other affection as you grew up, but something about that made you uncomfortable in flirty situations, making it hard for you to find love despite wanting to find someone to spend your life with so you fill the void with food.

Aspiration: Master Chef

Rules:

Master The Culinary career (Chef branch only)

Have one science baby with your best friend

Never get married until your child is a Young Adult

Generation Nine: Sapphire- Blue

Being raised by a single parent made you tougher than what people expected. Unlike your parent, you have no problems in the romance department and thrive in any romantic setting. You're not sure who your child's parent is, but all you know is you love them unconditionally and would do anything for them.

Career: Secret Agent

Traits: Romantic, Erratic, Noncommittal

Aspiration: Villainous Valentine

Get married 3 times before you're an elder that isn't from where you grew up

Master the Singing skill

Have an affair during each marriage that results in a pregnancy

Generation Ten: Topaz- Pink

1920s BIRTHSTONE LOOKBOOK - PART 1

To coincide with the recent release of the Crystal Creations pack I wanted to put together a couple of fun lookbooks inspired by birthstones. My mind first went to whimsigoth, but since I've already done one of those recently I instead went with the decade that oozed glittery glamour - the 1920s. Want more good time gals and fabulous flappers? You can check out part two here. CC links under the cut.

Garnet was believed to be a protective stone, which made it popular amongst warriors and royalty. Red variety garnets are also associated with vitality, love and light.

Tiara | Hair | Earrings (TSR) | Capelet (TSR) | Dress (retired - direct download) | Brooch | Gloves | Bracelet (TSR) | Ring (TSR) | Stockings (Base Game) | Shoes

Amethyst was favoured by the ruling class thanks to its purple colour, which has long been a hue connected to royalty. Over time it has also come to be associated with spirituality, mental clarity and healing.

Hair | Hairband | Earrings (TSR) | Necklace (TSR) | Coat | Gloves | Ring (TSR) | Stockings (Base Game) | Shoes

Aquamarine comes from the Latin word for seawater and as such, was thought to protect seafarers. The stone can also be associated with martial happiness and superior intellect.

Hairband | Hair | Earrings | Necklace (TSR) | Dress | Cuffs | Ring | Shoes

Diamond is probably the most well known of the precious gems. Because of their association with strength and eternal love, they're a popular choice for engagement and wedding rings.

Hat | Hair (retired - direct downloand) | Earrings (TSR) | Necklace & Armbands | Dress | Gloves | Stockings (Spooky Stuff) | Shoes

Emerald has a legend that says wearing it will imbue the wearer with heightened intelligence and objectivity. Others use the stone to promote healing, while some even believe it allows the wearer to predict the future.

Hair | Hairband | Earrings (TSR) | Necklace | Dress | Gloves (Vampires) | Bracelet (TSR) | Ring | Shoes (TSR)

Pearl is often valued for its unblemished surface and colouring, so naturally it is most commonly connected to qualities like honesty, purity and wisdom.

Finally here is my citrine inspired fairy! 💛🧡 She is the queen and a very powerful solar sorceress. She is bright and creative and an amazing ruler. Her favourite fruits are oranges and her favourite flower is a sunflower.🍊🌻 Citrine is obviously inspired by bees but the first design I had in mind was evil queen inspired by wasps. I opted for the queen bee because I think she fits better with the rest of the fairy designs, but now I kinda want to do the other one as well xd. Also I think Peridot would mybe be one of the knights in her guard🧐
