The Joy of Life Challenge | Sims 3 Version.

I hope everyone is well 🤍 In August I started the joy of life challenge by @simelune it was the first challenge in ts4 where I actually enjoyed the storylines, and actually progressed with it. A few weeks ago I finally fixed the sims 3 and have been playing it none stop, but was looking for a fun challenge to play - then decided to rewrite and adjust JOL for the sims 3!

*A huge huge thank you to simelune for writing this amazing challenge, and allowing me to rewrite and post the sims 3 version. All credits of course go to them - they wrote the entire challenge I just simply adjusted and reworked it slightly to fit the sims 3.*

There are currently 17 generations written by me, but I'm still working on adding the rest from the original challenge, I'm just having so much fun playing with the first gen of it!

Finally, if you do decide to play this challenge, I'd LOVE to see your gameplay, so please please tag me!!! 🤍

I hope I have done the original justice, and I hope you enjoy playing. Happy simming 🤍

LIKE NIGHT AND DAY: A TS3 LEGACY CHALLENGE

Hello y’all! I am back with a different sort of legacy challenge compared to my usual nostalgic-ish challenges. This legacy is eight generations, each based upon a specific time of day, from midnight to nighttime. I tried to add both good and bad traits to the sims for some unique and interesting gameplay. I’ve also added sims badges that are entirely optional to complete for each gen (I just like collecting badges myself lol). Each generation has a unique color palette that you can follow if you want. The google doc even has images of the palettes for visualization. I highly recommend checking out the google doc for better formatting on desktop, too. You'll need most EPs (except maybe Into the Future). Store content is referenced, but none of it is necessary. If you have any questions or comments, don’t hesitate to reach out. Hope y’all enjoy this challenge!

LOOK AT MY HOUSE IM SO PROUD OF IT

[bumblebeedinosaur]

Everything slows down as Pepper hits the ground, shoved down and then tackled from behind the moment she's up by Don. It's nauseating that this is what this has come to, Pepper's image of a perfect kindred spirit shattered to pieces just like her trust and blossoming feelings. She picks herself up off the leafy grass, body sore and aching.

Pepper can see the moment Don regrets his anger and the damage its done seconds before she calls him what he is.

Trash.

Don: "Pep--" Pepper: "Don't!" Don: "But I--" Pepper: "No, Don. I'm done. Get out, get off my property, I never want to see you again."

Pepper knows her worth, and she sees Don clearly now. She won't let him get away with this. As he scurries off, Pep pulls out her phone. Pepper: "Yeah, hi, is this the lawyer's office? I'd like to make an appointment please. It's for a consultation. At the police station? Perfect. I need to drop by there anyway."

2010's Billboard Top “Songs” Family Legacy Challenge

1 decade of music hit's + 10 top charting songs + 10 generations = Musical legacy for the Sims 3.

Welcome to my first Legacy challenge rules made for the Sims 3. Even though the game is 15 years old, it still has an active community that loves a good challenge. This legacy challenge was inspired by how I typically play my own generational gameplay and, of course, Music. Since music is a very broad theme, however, I chose a decade to really base the legacy around that I was well familiar with: the 2010's. And thus this legacy challenge was made in a span of a week, with hours of researching billboard charts, listening to songs, interpreting song lyrics and translating it into the Sims 3. So whether you're looking for a new challenge to play, a music lover or just wanna spice up your gameplay, feel free to play this challenge I created.

Generalized Rules:

This is written as a 10 Generation Legacy Challenge. However, don't feel obligated to play it strictly as it was written. I based the generations based off the decade and chronologically ordered by the year. You are welcome to play only 3 generations, 5 generations. Mix and match generations. Play from Gen 1 to 5 or 5 to 10. It's your game, so play the way that make's it the most fun for YOU!

Each generation is tied to a specific song and artist. I decided to pick the song that charted the most weeks on the billboard for every year, as multiple songs charted as hits or made it to #1 spot, and even came close to 2nd as the Hit song for that year. So if you don't like a specific artist or song, feel free to skip said generation.

This was not made with Base Game compatible (Sorry.) When making the challenge, I tried to use traits and make rules that closely resembled the meaning behind the song. So if you don't have a certain pack or feature, it's okay to skip it or find a way to replace it.

I highly encourage the usage of Mods that enhance and optimized gameplay.

Cheat with Moderation. The aim of this challenge is to ultimately have fun and enjoy gameplay. Cheating is permissible if it correlated with the story. Cheating for a house at the start of each generation is fine, or for Twins during a pregnancy is 100% allowed. But avoid excessive money cheating or cheating skills.

Try to use at least 3 of the recommended traits. Completing every Goal isn't required, but mainly there as a guideline for story-telling. And Optional goals are 100% optional and for added challenges or gameplay.

Most importantly: Have fun and take creative freedoms with this challenge. I wrote it to be as open-ended as possible in terms of heirs and lovers. If some generations seem similar in your opinion, feel free to tweak the story to spice it up more or mellow it down.

Feedback is always welcomed. And if you do play this challenge, feel free to "@" me or post it under "2010's Billboard Family Legacy Challenge".

“ You talking money, need a hearing aid. You talking 'bout me, I don't see the shade. Switch up my style, I take any lane. I switch up my cup, I kill any pain.”

Your whole life has been filled with stardom, whether you like it or not. You come from a family with an impactful legacy of being influential or in the spotlight. Your parents themselves were high class, wealthy celebrities, leaving you and your siblings to inherit their spotlight while growing up. But growing up in the spotlight wasn’t as glamorous as your parents made it look. Stardom is filled with people praying for your downfall, fake friends, infidelities, no privacy and greed. It’s enough to make any person turn bitter and spiteful. You tried your hardest to reject it, but inevitably you learned to accept your celebrity status.

And from a young age, you wanted to be the very best, just like your grandparents. You had a competitive drive and always stayed motivated. You never understood how other’s could be so content with the bare minimum, like your twin. Furthermore, you two were complete opposites, but you didn’t let your twin hold you back.

The Monster High Legacy Challenge is an 8 generation legacy challenge based on Mattel’s Monster High doll collection. Each generation is based upon one of the core dolls in the collection, alongside two bonus generations based on my personal favorite dolls lol. For those familiar with Monster High, I have based much of the challenge on Generation 1 with a few nods to Generation 3. Each generation in the challenge is assigned a specific color scheme but you do not have to follow it if you don’t want to! You also do not need to make the sims look like the dolls in question. At the end of the day, this challenge is simply for fun and to play through aspects of the game I personally haven’t before. You will need most, if not all, expansion packs for this challenge. Feedback is always appreciated! Let me know your thoughts on this challenge :)

Tag: #mhlc or “@” me!

Random screenies of my personal legacy that isn't really that personal anymore tbh

[honeyedpixels]

[bumblebeedinosaur]

Pepper: "Don, what is this?" Don: "What's what, babe?"

The anger is simmering inside of her but she tries to keep a level head. Still she's a little rough as she slaps his response letter against his chest.

Don: "Oh. That. Well, that doesn't matter anymore." Pepper: "Oh doesn't it? Why? Because you're my boyfriend now after a few rounds of woohoo? The only thing you even answered my text for after DAYS of radio silence?" Don: "It wasn't radio silence, I'm busy! You know I intern at the hospital!" Pepper: "You sure seem to be able to go out and about on the town, talking to anyone and everyone else despite being 'busy'!" Don: "What so a guy can't have a social life now? You sure as hell didn't seem to have an issue earlier, you're the one who invited me over! So don't act like you didn't want it, too!"

Pepper: "Oh, of course! So now I can't be pissed off about this SHITTY letter you left for me that directly contradicts what you said before? Both today AND on our first night together? I know what I want, Don, but it's kind of sounding like you don't and now that you know I know that, you're acting like a diva! No wonder those girls sent you through a time machine to get rid of you!"

Pepper gasps as Don jabs a finger in her face. "DON'T you talk about the time machine!! And don't call me a diva, Pep. If anyone is being one right now, it's you. This isn't a big deal. So I felt that way then, what's it matter? Obviously I feel different today, else I wouldn't have said yes when you asked me to make things official!"
