Not So Berry Extended Challenge

After playing through the Not So Berry Challenge twice, I decided to make my own extended version of the challenge so I could keep playing for ten more generations (although there is an optional endpoint after five gens)!

3/17/2022 Update: I’ve finished my playthrough of this challenge, so the rules that are here are official and final! Check my page for posts about how the challenge went for me. I had a lot of fun with it!

4/16/2022 Update: I will be playing the original Not So Berry Challenge and this extended version of the challenge on YouTube! If you are interested in following along, the link to my YouTube is in my profile!

Enjoy! ♥

Note: This post will also be saved as a page on my profile for ease of reference.

Generation 11: Beige

Growing up in a household with too many children and a sometimes-overbearing parent made you sure of one thing: You never want to have kids. Instead, you’ve chosen to dedicate your life to your career as a salaryperson, spending the majority of your time at work, schmoozing your boss during happy hour, or singing karaoke with your friends. Of course, life doesn’t always go as planned. Eventually, you find yourself raising an unexpected child. To be fair, the nanny does most of the raising, but you’re still a parent. You try to distract yourself from this unfortunate reality by throwing extravagant parties for your friends and family (excluding any children, of course), along with the occasional birthday party for your child (you’re not a monster, after all). At least all the time you spend working means you have the money to ensure your kid never wants for anything…except your affection.

Traits: Outgoing, Hates Children, Ambitious

Aspiration: Party Animal

Career: Salaryperson

Rules:

Have one (unplanned) child

Master the charisma and singing skills

Master the salaryperson career and complete the Party Animal aspiration

As a young adult, start a karaoke club and become close friends with all club members

Earn gold in at least three different types of social events (for example, dinner party, house party, and wedding)

Hire a full-time nanny to raise your child

Generation 12: Rainbow

Spending your formative years in a household where you felt unwanted did not make for the happiest childhood, but you found ways to get through it—mostly by creating art, getting lost in books about fantasy worlds, playing your violin, and telling jokes to your nanny (as well as your imaginary friends). You’ve always loved colorful things, so it makes sense that you grow up to be an artist. Painting is your passion, and you long to share your love of art with someone as creative as you. Of course, your soulmate will have to accept your…eccentricity. But then, what great artist isn’t a little eccentric?

Traits: Art Lover, Bookworm, Erratic

Aspiration: Soulmate

Career: Painter

Rules:

Master the painting, violin, and comedy skills

Master the painter career and complete the Soulmate aspiration

As a child, become best friends with your nanny

Marry an art lover or creative Sim

Live in at least three different worlds

Enter the Sylvan Glade in Willow Springs and paint a picture from reference there

Generation 13: Black

Your parents always encouraged you to be creative and express yourself, even when you chose to do this by wearing only black and being brutally honest at all times. Since you were a child, you’ve had a nasty habit of taking things that don’t belong to you, but you’re smart enough to avoid getting caught…most of the time. As an adult, you can’t seem to help but cause heartbreak and misery wherever you go. You also happen to have a serious addiction to fizzy juice. Still, you manage to become successful in the legal field by putting on a mask at work. It’s your ultimate fantasy to play the puppet master of those around you, and what better way to do that than by sentencing others to their fates and breaking up couples in your spare time? You may be haunted by the ghosts of your past misdeeds on occasion, but you would never change who you are—it’s too much fun being mean!

Traits: Kleptomaniac, Mean, Noncommittal

Aspiration: Villainous Valentine

Career: Law (Judge)

Rules:

Master the mischief and juice fizzing skills

Master the law career and complete the Villainous Valentine aspiration

Become enemies with benefits with at least one Sim during your lifetime (or max the negative friendship bar and positive romance bar, if the game refuses to give you the sentiment…)

Have a Sim die on your lot and keep their urn/grave on the lot for the rest of your life (you are not allowed to release their spirit)

Have at least two children with at least two different partners

Generation 14: Silver

You spent much of your childhood alone in your room, tinkering with things and avoiding hurtful comments about your appearance from your parent. You struggled to make friends as a child and to date as a teen due to your insecurity, but you finally find your place when you achieve your dream of going to university. At Foxbury, surrounded by other lovers of learning, you feel like you belong. Nothing will stop you from putting in the work to graduate at the top of your class, but you also make time to participate in club activities (and party). As an adult, you manage to create the popular club everyone wants to join. Suddenly it seems like you’re successful at everything you do, from making things for work or for fun, to making your club world-renowned. The only thing you’re missing is a best friend and confidante. Maybe the solution is to make one!

Traits: Genius, Maker, Insider

Aspiration: Academic

Career: Engineer

Rules:

Master the fabrication and robotics skills

Master the engineer career and complete the Academic aspiration

Attend Foxbury Institute and join the Bot Savants

Build a Servo and become best friends (or more) with them

Note: You may use mods to speed up university or pause time while your Sim is at university if you dislike this aspect of the gameplay

Generation 15: Gold

Your family is weird. Growing up, every surface in your house was always covered in robotics parts and homemade candles. You long to live a life far from this constant clutter—a life of luxury, surrounded by beautiful things. From a young age, you know you’ll achieve your dream of being a rich and famous influencer/model/DJ, because everyone loves you. How could they not? You’re perfect! In truth, you prefer to be alone most of the time—posting updates about your day from the comfort of your own home—but you also enjoy flaunting your stylish looks and talent for your adoring fans. Everyone wants to know every detail about your life. They want to look like you, dress like you—really, to be you! The only thing that could make your life more perfect is if you could stay young and beautiful forever…if only there were a way.

Traits: Loner, Self-Absorbed, Materialistic

Aspiration: Fabulously Wealthy

Career: Style Influencer (Trend Setter)

Rules:

Master the photography, DJ mixing, and media production skills

Master the style influencer career and complete the Fabulously Wealthy aspiration

Become a Global Superstar (five-star celebrity)

Marry and divorce a celebrity; then, marry one of your fans

Become a Junior Artiste (level four of the Drama Club) as a child/teen

Once you become a young adult, you must live in Del Sol Valley for the rest of your life

Optional: Become a vampire as a young adult (after you have the next heir, if you choose to do so) and live forever (or die in a fiery blaze of glory by burning to death in the sunlight, if you choose to end the challenge here)

Generation 16: Aquamarine

You were born into a life of extravagance, but the money and things never mattered to you. All you ever wanted to do was spend your days at the beach, relaxing on the sand and swimming in the ocean. You care deeply about the environment and aspire to make the world a better and more beautiful place. As soon as you’re old enough, you move to Sulani, leaving behind your family’s wealth (and your strangely youthful parent). Living on the island, you seek to become accepted by the locals by helping to make your new surroundings cleaner and even more peaceful. You will do anything to feel at home by the ocean…or in it.

Traits: Child of the Ocean, Loves Outdoors, Vegetarian

Aspirations: Beach Life, Inner Peace

Career: Conservationist

Rules:

Master the fitness and wellness skills

Master the conservationist career and complete the Beach Life and Inner Peace aspirations

Move to Sulani as a young adult with 10,000 simoleons maximum

Clean up the island (if you haven’t already in your current save)

Eat Mermadic Kelp and become a mermaid

Become enemies with a Fish Poacher, Litterbug, or Anti-Environmentalist (Optional: Use your mermaid’s powers (Siren’s Call, Summon Ocean Threat, etc.) to torment and possibly drown your enemy)

Generation 17: Brown

Like your parent, you’ve always loved the outdoors and cared a lot about the environment, but the beach was never really your scene. As a child, you constantly begged your parent to take you camping in Granite Falls. You love collecting things, especially living things to which you can give a home. You’re actually a lover of all animals, but dogs have always been your favorite. You know you’d be perfectly content living in a shack with your dog and surviving on the food you forage and find in trash cans, and the money you make from selling collectables and doing odd jobs—so that’s exactly what you choose to do! The shack might begin to feel a little cramped once your family starts to grow, but the love you give your kids is enough to make up for their, shall we say…humble…upbringing. Right?

Traits: Dog Lover, Freegan, Green Fiend

Aspiration: The Curator

Career: Odd Jobs

Rules:

Master the fishing and pet training skills

Achieve an odd jobs rating of five stars and complete The Curator aspiration

Once you become a young adult, you must live in a tiny house with the Off-the-Grid lot challenge for the rest of your life (if you don’t have the Tiny Living pack, you must live on a 20x20 lot)

Become best friends with the hermit in Granite Falls

Have at least two children

Complete the Fish, Frogs, or Insects Collection (or all three, if you’re feeling ambitious)

Generation 18: White

You grew up in a home with very little personal space, but it wasn’t all bad. Your family instilled a love of the outdoors in you from a young age, sending you to join the scouts as a child (since they couldn’t afford much else to keep you entertained). You have fond memories of camping trips to Granite Falls with your family, especially during the winter. You’ve always loved the snow, and the cold never bothered you anyway. You dream of becoming a professional snowboarder, making a living and fulfilling your adrenaline-junkie tendencies at the same time…but living in borderline poverty as a child made you a bit too much of a realist for that. Instead, you choose to get your thrills from working as a secret agent…and snowboarding and climbing mountains in your spare time. Your go-go-go attitude makes you a bit impulsive, but what’s life without a little risk? You only live once, after all.

Traits: Active, Adventurous, Bro

Aspiration: Extreme Sports Enthusiast

Career: Secret Agent

Rules:

Master the snowboarding and rock climbing skills

Master the secret agent career and complete the Extreme Sports Enthusiast aspiration

Become a Llamacorn (level five) Scout as a child/teen

Marry another Sim within three days of meeting them

Become snow bros with at least three other Sims

Generation 19: Lilac

Your parent always tried to get you into extreme sports as a child, but you were never interested. You preferred more delicate things—like flowers—and activities with a lower likelihood of causing you to injure yourself, or worse…break a nail. You’re the first to admit you’re a bit high maintenance, but you think you’re worth it. You’ve always been a great friend and confidante to others, including your cats. Some people may call you a crazy cat Sim, but you’re not crazy. You just want things to be done a certain way—the proper way. What’s the harm in that? Of course, if someone happens to get in your way…can you really be held responsible for your actions?

Traits: Cat Lover, High Maintenance, Proper

Aspiration: Neighborhood Confidante

Career: Gardener

Rules:

Master the gardening and flower arranging skills

Master the gardener career and complete the Neighborhood Confidante aspiration

Have at least ten good friends (including at least three of your neighbors) and one enemy

Marry one of your friends and gift them with a flower arrangement scented with tulip

Gift your enemy with a flower arrangement scented with death flower (for a less extreme option, gift them with a flower arrangement scented with snapdragon)

As an adult, have at least three cats (preferably strays that you adopt) and become companions with all of them

Generation 20: Burgundy

Your childhood home always smelled like flowers. This wasn’t a bad thing, but you’ve always preferred things that smell good and taste good—namely, food. From a young age, you’ve been obsessed with creating the perfect version of your favorite food—grilled cheese. What could be better? You go so far as to train as a chef in your quest to perfecting this one dish. If you stumble along the way to your goal, you might throw a tantrum or two, but your childish nature also makes you optimistic. At your heart, you’re a good person—in fact, you’re so kind, you would even befriend Death itself—with a simple dream. Once you’ve perfected the grilled cheese, your new aim is to find someone to share your sandwiches with. You struggle to meet the right match, though, so you might end up having to look a little farther to find someone…out of this world.

Traits: Good, Childish, Foodie

Aspiration: Master Chef, Grilled Cheese

Career: Culinary

Rules:

Master the cooking and rocket science skills

Master the culinary career and complete the Master Chef and (secret) Grilled Cheese aspirations

Become friends with the Grim Reaper

Travel to Sixam and find an alien to marry there

Optional: Open a restaurant (preferably one that is grilled-cheese-themed)

TS3 Not So Berry: Totally Professional

Please Read! Thank You <3 

I decided I wanted to make a version of the NSB Challenge, focusing on the different professions in TS3. I was inspired by the TS4/TS3 challenges created by @lilsimsie​ and @alwaysimming​. I have been working on this for the past few weeks, so I hope you enjoy it.  Some basic rules; -Each heir represents the color of the generation (ex: hair, clothes, house/objects, etc.)  -Money cheats not allowed (unless NEEDED) -Live wherever you want :) 

If you ever play this challenge, tag me or use #nsbtotallyprofessional <3

Onto the challenge itself!

Generation 1: Teal

You’re a family-oriented, social butterfly with a love for kids. You’re kind of a kid-whisperer. Your excitement to work and nurture all the kids that come through your daycare is what makes their parents love you (totally not because you’re taking care of their kids all-day). You’ve always dreamt of having a big family of your own. You also have a love for bowling and cooking.  

Traits: Nurturing | Family-Oriented | Workaholic | Excitable | Social-Butterfly Lifetime Wish: Surrounded by Family Profession: Daycare Profession

Goals: -Complete Daycare Profession -Complete Lifetime Wish -Master Cooking Skill, and learn 5 recipes (of your choosing) -Marry someone you met through work (a kid’s parent) -Adopt at least one kid  -Go bowling every week with your family -Have great relationships with ALL of your kids

Generation 2: Navy Blue

Being around a huge family made you feel trapped, so you secluded yourself as fast as you can. You love your family, but people can be a bit much for you. This made you draw your attention to the sea, and the creatures in it with how serine and isolated it can be. Anything sea related you wanted to do and learn! So, you took up a job as a Lifeguard. Fishing, scuba-diving, sailing- these are all the things you wanted! Plus, you’ve always wanted your own private aquarium. 

Traits: Loner | Loves The Outdoors | Angler | Loves to Swim | Shy Lifetime Wish: Presenting the Perfect Private Aquarium Profession: Lifeguard 

Goals:  -Complete Lifeguard Profession -Complete Lifetime Wish -Master Fishing Skill -Master Athletic Skill -Only date, never marry  -Have one child as an adult  -Go scuba diving on your free time

Generation 3: Hot Pink

Your eye for design made you realize how good you would be as an architect. You might have a steady work life but in your personal life, you’re the life of the party. You’re basically friends with half the townspeople- almost everywhere you go, you’re recognized! This helps when you update your socials every ten minutes!

Traits: Party Animal | Perfectionist | Born Salesperson | Artistic | Commitment Issues Lifetime Wish: Home Design Hotshot  Profession: Architectural Designer

Goals:  -Complete Architect Profession  -Complete Lifetime Wish -Master Painting Skill -Master Social Networking Skill -Have 5 relationships, before getting married -Have a set of twins (no other kids | cheats allowed)

Generation 4: Lilac 

Ambitious, spontaneous, and crazy is how your parents would describe you. But your friends think you’re the same as your ‘chill’ twin. Being constantly compared to your twin made you wish you were an only child. Obviously you can’t do that, so the next best thing is to become a famous singer! ….I guess. This fame HAD to give you the upper hand! 

Traits: Insane | Ambitious | Natural Born Performer | Virtuoso | Diva Lifetime Wish: Vocal Legend  Profession: Singer 

Goals: -Complete Singer Profession -Complete Lifetime Wish -Master Charisma skill -Master Guitar skill  -Reach level 5 of Writing skill  -Max out fame   -Live with your twin, but have a bad relationship with them (move them out when you have your first child)

Generation 5: Coral

Being around different makeup artists and designers from your parent’s concerts, made you have a deep appreciation for their skills. You admired them so much you wanted to be just like them! Watching your parent in different costumes on stage made you love the art of design. You also love music itself, but what you love doing most is refining your bass skills. Why you chose that instrument, I don’t know. Unlike your parents, you go out of your way to spend more time with your family. You love holding family gatherings and hosting dinner parties.  

Traits: Friendly | Ambitious | Family-Oriented | Artistic | Easily Impressed   Lifetime Wish: Fashion Phenomenon Profession: Stylist 

Goals: -Complete Stylist Profession  -Complete Lifetime Wish -Master Painting Skill -Master Bass skill -Have triplets (cheats allowed), you may have more kids besides the triplets       *One of them will be your heir        *Give one child the ‘brave’ trait, and the other two the ‘coward’ trait -Have a dinner party every other Sunday  -Have a great relationship with ALL your kids 

Generation 6: Maroon 

You’ve always wanted to be a firefighter. You’ve dreamt of being able to help the lives of those around you, but you’re also a nerd in disguise. You love playing video games and reading comics- but that never gets in your way of what you love- your job does get in the way of finding love though. Doesn’t help that you’re unflirty.  

Traits: Brave | Handy | Unflirty | Dog Person | Hot-Headed  Lifetime Wish: Firefighter Super Hero Profession: Firefighter 

Goals: -Complete Firefighter Profession  -Complete Lifetime Wish -Master Handiness Skill -Master Athletic Skill -Have 3 failed relationships before getting married -Have 2 dogs, and be very close with them -Marry and have kids when you’re an adult -Have a comic book collection (3, or more) -Play video games frequently

Generation 7: Tan 

You wanted things to be solved, with a clear-cut explication. You wanted a reason for everything. That’s why you joined the force. But this wasn’t enough for you. You wanted to do the work yourself, so you quit your job and become an Investigator. Why couldn’t they find this guy? Why wasn’t he tried? Did he pay the guy off? YOU WANTED ANSWERS DAMN IT! All these thoughts flowing in and out of your head, night and day, made it hard to sleep at times. Did I mention you write murder mystery books?

Traits: Light-Sleeper | Unstable | Perceptive | Genius | Charismatic Lifetime Wish: Pervasive Private Eye Profession: Law Enforcement | Investigator  

Goals: -Reach level 5 of Law Enforcement Career -Complete Investigator Profession -Complete Lifetime Wish -Master Logic Skill -Master Writing Skill -Reach level 5 of Photography Skill -Write 3 books minimum -Kill bugs with your magnifying glass -Marry someone in the Law Enforcement Career

Generation 8: Indigo

 Listening to your parents talk about the different cases made you stressed out, so you turn to the world of magic to escape. You adored the ‘science’ behind this magical art form, and you’ve always strived to know every trick in the book, and learn the daring stunts, but it never really works out the way you want it because of how clumsy you are- but that never stopped you. 

Traits: Ambitious | Clumsy | Daredevil | Frugal | Easily Impressed  Lifetime Wish: Master Magician  Profession: Magician 

Goals: -Complete Magician Profession  -Complete Lifetime Wish -Reach level 5 of a skill of your choosing -Marry your first love, then get divorced after having a child -Get remarried to a sim with the clumsy trait, and have 2 more kids and have one of those kids be the next heir

Generation 9: White

Having two clumsy parents made you the genetic example of two wrongs equal a right- so you have impeccable balance. You took advantage of this and became an excellent dancer as a kid, up until high school. As time went on you realized that your real genetic fortune came in the form of great flexibility- so you decided on becoming an acrobat! You’re smart and know what you’re doing, but not when it comes to love. Interacting with people in general is one of your greatest weaknesses. 

Traits: Socially Awkward | Genius | Natural Born Performer | Athletic | Unflirty Lifetime Wish: Master Acrobat  Profession: Acrobat 

Goals: -Complete Acrobat Profession  -Complete Lifetime Wish -Master Athletic Skill -Master walking skill as a toddler -Enroll in ballet club as a kid and teen -Try to date as a teen, but fail -Have a kid(s?) by accident  -Never marry 

Generation 10: Black 

You love anything supernatural. The books, the TV shows, the merch, the community, the list goes on! You know that there are spirits and ghosts all around us, maybe even a wolf or two... So you go on the hunt to find them. You do anything and everything to get a glimpse of a ghost. You craft and drink the elixirs, you catch the bugs, and hunt for gems- you even become a ghost hunter! 

Traits: Supernatural Fan | Adventurous | Night Owl | Gatherer | Slob Lifetime Wish: Paranormal Profiteer  Profession: Ghost Hunter 

Goals: -Complete Ghost Hunter Profession  -Complete Lifetime Wish -Master Logic Skill -Master Alchemy Skill -Date a Supernatural Skeptic all through high school, then get engaged the day after you graduate   -Break off your engagement -Marry a supernatural sim (wolf, fairy, genie, etc.) -Live near the cemetery -Collect different bugs and gems -Turn into the Sad Clown at least once

Playing my Not So Berry Extended Challenge (Aquamarine gen)

My aquamarine gen was Beryl (yes, Beryl Berry). She never liked living in Del Sol Valley and was always begging her mom to take her and her brother to Sulani (although it only worked once, since vampires and sunny beaches don’t mix well). Once she became a young adult, Beryl fulfilled her dream of moving to the seaside and joined the conservationist career to help restore the island’s beauty. She spent a lot of time exploring the caves of Sulani and digging for trash and sea shells on the beach. In the process, she eventually found a piece of mermadic kelp and ate it, following the ocean’s call to become a mermaid. She became enemies with a local litterbug and used her newfound powers to torment him by pulling him under the water time and time again (although she was never able to drown him). Beryl eventually started dating a man local to Sulani, but even though he was her boyfriend, he ended up marrying someone else. Beryl thought his new wife was cute, though, so she invited both of them to live with her, and they ended up becoming a throuple. The three of them started a free-love beach commune and raised their children together (Beryl had three children, and her girlfriend had one).

Playing my Not So Berry Extended Challenge (White gen)

My white gen was Crystal. Although she was raised in a home with a distinct lack of privacy, she loved her family and the camping trips they took to Granite Falls together (especially in the winter). As a young adult, she longed to move to Mt. Komorebi to pursue her dream hobbies of snowboarding and rock climbing, but she also wanted to eventually provide a bigger home (with more personal space) for her future family, so she settled on a more “stable” job as a secret agent in San Myshuno, even though she hated the paperwork aspect of it. She started dating one of her new neighbors and quickly moved in with him, but he ended up cheating on her and impregnating their (vampire) neighbor. Crystal dumped him and begged her boss to let her transfer to Mt. Komorebi. Thankfully, he said yes, and she was able to move into a shared home there with one of her new coworkers.

After making friends with some of the locals, one of Crystal’s snow bros introduced her to his son, and the two of them hit it off. They got married within three days of meeting each other and soon started a family (they ended up having a girl and twin boys). Still, they made time to snowboard and rock climb together, and, with each other's support, they eventually climbed to the top of Mt. Komorebi, where they eloped.

They then proceeded to WooHoo in a cave to celebrate (of course).

Playing my Not So Berry Extended Challenge (Black gen)

Next up is my black gen. I usually hate playing mean Sims, but I loved the chaos in this gen.

From a young age, Raven (pictured above on the right) was rebellious and was always causing trouble (including by constantly stealing things at school). She struggled to make friends naturally since she was mean, but in high school, she was able to intimidate her classmates (and her twin sister Phoebe) into being friends with her. Raven bullied one of her “friends” into being her boyfriend, and they had an on-again-off-again relationship. As a young adult, Raven moved to Forgotten Hollow and joined the law career. She used her smarts to become a lawyer without going to university and eventually rose to the top of her career as a judge. Shortly after moving to Forgotten Hollow, Raven developed a crush on one of her neighbors, but Phoebe married him before Raven could claim him as her own. Raven cut her sister off as a result and ended up marrying the first girlfriend she could find after that in an attempt to prove she was more successful than her sister. Although Raven had strong romantic feelings for her new wife, they ended up getting into a major fight on the night of their wedding, and Raven locked her outside the house to punish her. Of course, it was the middle of winter, so her wife ended up freezing to death and then haunting Raven for the rest of her life. Raven didn’t mourn for long before deciding to steal her sister’s husband, even though Phoebe had a child with him. Raven ended up marrying him and having two children with him, then cheating on him with her high school boyfriend (who became her enemy with benefits) and having a third child from the affair. She also became enemies with benefits with Father Winter since she found him extremely attractive but hated how good he was. None of Raven’s children liked her since she was so mean to them and was often drunk from her juice-fizzing (which only exacerbated her meanness). Still, her husband stayed with her through everything, and Raven and her sister even reconciled and became friends in the end (because Phoebe was far too nice).

Playing my Not So Berry Extended Challenge (Burgundy gen)

The final gen of my Not So Berry Extended Challenge!

From a young age, Merlot was obsessed with food, especially grilled cheese. She always dreamed of making the perfect grilled cheese and even became a chef as an adult to perfect her craft. Once she was old enough, she and her twin sister Syrah moved into a converted warehouse in Newcrest together and focused on their careers (Merlot as chef and her sister as a teacher). They both struggled with their love lives, as Merlot was entirely focused on her mission of perfecting the grilled cheese, and Syrah was unflirty by nature.

As teens, they had both developed crushes on the same boy before realizing they were actually related to him. As young adults, they didn’t fare much better. Merlot eventually discovered a love of rocket science at Geekcon and decided to build her own rocketship. She had heard family stories passed through the generations of an alien planet called Sixam and became determined to travel there. Once she reached it, she fell in love with one of the locals, and the two eloped there.

They moved into Merlot’s home in Newcrest and had a half-alien child together. In the meantime, Syrah had her own alien encounter and became pregnant with alien twins after being abducted. Once her twins were born, Merlot and her husband decided to move into their own place (next door to Syrah, since the sisters never wanted to be too far apart). Merlot focused on her job as a chef (and making grilled cheeses) and eventually reached the top of her career. Having perfected the grilled cheese, she decided to open her own restaurant to share her cooking with the world.

Playing my Not So Berry Extended Challenge (Lilac gen)

My lilac gen was Helio (named after a color similar to the flower). He was raised in the snowy mountains of Mt. Komorebi with his sister and twin brother, but he always dreamed of moving somewhere warm. He convinced his parents to build a greenhouse for him so he could start a garden as a teen despite the freezing temperatures, since he always loved flowers. As a young adult, he moved to a beautiful house in Brindleton Bay where he could grow a magnificent garden and raise a family (and have many cats). He fell in love with one of his neighbors there (a trans (ftm) Sim named Ezequiel) but discovered he was married to the world famous Regina Berry (my gold gen/gen 15!). Regina soon grew bored of him, though, and Helio helped him process the divorce as a friend. The two ultimately ended up falling in love, however. They got married and had twin girls together shortly thereafter. After Ezequiel’s elderly parents passed, they also ended up helping to raise his teen sister. Despite Ezequiel’s initial heartbreak, he remained on somewhat friendly terms with Regina and had her over to the house occasionally. Helio was never a fan of this relationship, and when he caught Ezequiel flirting with Regina, he was furious. He got into a fight with Regina (despite being proper), and the two became enemies. Helio gifted Ezequiel with a flower arrangement scented with tulip so that his husband would remain faithful to him from then on. He also gifted Regina with a flower arrangement scented with death flower, which forced her to become an adult and thus fulfill her worst nightmare (getting older).

Once this drama was behind them, the two were able to focus on raising their daughters (and many cats) together.

Playing my Not So Berry Extended Challenge (Brown gen)

My brown gen was Clove. She grew up in an unusual situation, but she never minded having a big (and somewhat odd) family. Although she loved being connected to nature from a young age, she was never fond of the beach. She found the sand to be coarse and rough and irritating, and it got everywhere. Instead, she preferred the forest and loved camping in Granite Falls with her mom. As soon as she was old enough, she moved to a tiny home near a waterfall in the woods of Henford-on-Bagley. She loved the serenity she found there, just her and her dog. She didn’t even mind living off the grid, although it was a bit annoying to have to travel into town any time she wanted to have access to the Internet to find an odd job or two. On one of these trips into town, she started chatting with the local pub owner, and the two fell in love. They eventually held their wedding at the same pub and consummated the marriage with a celebratory WooHoo in the dumpster behind the building.

Clove and her husband had three children together, which made things even tighter in their already tiny living space. Still, they were able to live a happy life together with their family (and the many stray dogs that hung out on the lot).

Playing my Not So Berry Extended Challenge (Gold gen)

The next gen in my NSBE challenge was the gold gen. I'm not a huge fan of vampires, but I had a lot of fun with this gen, and I do appreciate that she never had to die (I'm always super sad about losing my heirs).

From a young age, Regina dreamed of being famous and ardently pursued this goal, joining drama club as a child and even leaving her family home as a teenager to move to Del Sol Valley (with her dad’s Servo to help supervise her). As a teen, she started uploading videos to SimTube and Simstagramming/streaming her life for her fans to see. She tried everything to become a celebrity, including creating her own music and DJing on weekends. Once she started to gain fame, she married an actor more famous than her for the clout, but ended up divorcing him when she fell in love with one of her fans (who was also the bartender at her wedding). Regina reached her goal of becoming a celebrity and respected style influencer, but she started to fear aging. In a desperate attempt to stop the aging process, she begged Vlad to turn her into a vampire so she would be able to stay young and beautiful forever. He obliged, and Regina was able to become a top-level style influencer and award-winning, five-star celebrity who would never age. Before becoming a vampire, she had two human children with her fan and lover, but she also ended up cheating on him later in life and having a vampire child with Vlad.

Playing my Not So Berry Extended Challenge (Silver gen)

The next gen in my NSBE Challenge was the Silver gen. I put both of the potential heirs for this gen through university because I couldn't choose between them for the longest time, but I ended up going with my male heir for some variety.

Sterling had a hard childhood living in a home with his mean mother, but he found solace in his sister’s company and in the robots he started building as a teenager. As young adults, he and his older sister both attended Foxbury Institute and joined the Bot Savants (like their yellow-gen ancestor). Sterling had a major glow up and thrived at university, earning straight A’s and even coming far enough out of his shell to start dating a girl from his high school robotics club who he had always had a crush on. While his sister had a baby after an unplanned pregnancy with her boyfriend during her last term of university, Sterling waited a while to marry his girlfriend and start having children. Eventually, he and his wife had two children together, but he also passionately pursued his love of engineering, robotics, and fabrication with the help of his club friends. He even built his own Servo, who served as his live-in housekeeper, nanny, and friend. The Servo eventually ended up falling in love with yellow gen’s Servo (yay for robot love).
