“I was feeling epic.”

Welcome to a new legacy based off the television series The Vampire Diaries, featuring both an occult free version for players that prefer realism and an optional occult related track for every generation.

You do not need to have seen the show to play the challenge, however if you want to watch it eventually, there will be spoilers for both The Vampire Diaries and The Originals.

When posting playthroughs, please use the tag #tvduchallenge or #ts4tvduc so others can see your gameplay! This challenge was written by mythsanddragons focusing on the major characters in the series.

GENERAL RULES

It is recommended that while each generation follows each characters’ story, that you don’t try to replicate their story exactly as shown in the show. Even though the goals track their storyline progression through the series, I encourage you to play around, change aspects, and have fun!

The aspirations and skills listed should be completed. You may need to complete other skills for the sims aspiration or career. The skills chosen are more based on personality and hobbies the characters are shown having in the series. When it comes to the aspirations, if there is an ‘and/or’ you may do one or all of the listed aspirations. It’s up to you what you choose for your childhood aspirations. If no teen aspiration is mentioned, you may do what you wish for that character.

The goals are more story oriented than goal oriented, though some correlate directly to accomplishing goals. If you wish to skip certain goals or move them to another category, you’re welcome to. Part one is for teen goals and part two is for YA and above.

Play on whatever lifespan you’d like. I’d recommend a long lifespan or a custom one to be able to accomplish all the storytelling goals without rushing and give you some breathing room, but you’re welcome to try and do everything in a shorter lifespan. You can also change the lifespan for certain generations if they feel like you’re getting through faster than others.

It is suggested that you use mods, especially to accomplish certain goals listed. If you can’t or don’t use mods, you can either do storytelling for that goal or ignore it completely.

You can alter generations to fit your game as this challenge was made with all packs in mind.

Some cheating is allowed, if you like, to reach certain storyline goals or to move things in the needed direction. There are specific areas in certain generations where you might wish to do so to progress the story forward.

In instances where you need to move a lot, you may occasionally cheat for a home if you can’t afford one.

University is listed for most generations, as several of the characters went to college in the series. You’re welcome to pause time during it, shorten it with mods, or not do it at all, if it doesn’t interest you.

You may choose an heir in any way you like. Heirs do not need to be the same in any aspect as the generation’s namesake.

Spin the event wheel whenever you’re told, but if you’re looking for more to do during any generation you may use it to spice things up.

Since the majority of TVD is about grief and learning how to live in the face of it, make sure you celebrate both life and death. For every sim that is important, be sure to have a funeral.

FAQ

Why are there so many traits listed?

Mostly, it's for variety. You can choose the traits you feel best represent the character listed and/or the sim you’re playing. Also, for people who play with the more traits mod, it gives them the opportunity to define their sim more. Some traits can be swapped out at different times during a character’s lifetime to better reflect what they are experiencing. It’s really up to you. If you don’t know what to pick, feel free to roll for it.

Where do the Occult Optional Goals fit in?

Basically, you’d insert the goals into the list of the non-occult goals. You may place them wherever you like, though in some generations I give clues as to where they might fit in the best. You never have to follow those guides if you have an idea you like better for the placement of the occult goals.

Which generation should I play first?

If you have a favorite, you’re welcome to jump to it. However, I did write Stefan’s generation to be last and I tried to place them in an order where the characters that have interlocking plot lines are further apart in most cases to make it less redundant.

Can I skip a generation if I don’t like it/the character?

If you want! Though, if you’re doing it just because you don’t like a character, you might enjoy playing their story more than watching it because you’ll have a chance to make the character more interesting.

Why is character XYZ not a generation?

I tried to stick to the main characters that were in the series. The only main character I skipped, I believe, is Enzo because most of his life was in captivity or he was a ghost. If enough people want a certain character generation done though, I’m happy to try and create one.

Wait, some of these generations require me to play sims running away or other storylines where they are not in the same household as the previous generation. What if I’m not done with the previous generation’s goals when the next generation is a teen?

There’s a few ways you can handle this. You can stop aging until you’re ready to deal with it or you can rotationally play with your two heirs’ households. I’m sure there’s other ways to handle it as well, if you want to. Get creative!

Do I have to stick with the color palette?

Only if you want to. They are based primarily on the colors the characters are seen wearing a lot or a color that is associated with the feel of their generation. They aren’t a requirement, but there for fun, as I personally like color associations.

Will this get updated?

If new packs come out that work with the legacy, or if I notice there are goals that aren’t working how I want them too when I play it through, it might!

GENERATION ONE: Elena Gilbert

“When you lose someone, it stays with you, always reminding you of how easy it is to get hurt.”

►Trauma defines you. Without it, you’re not sure who you are. It makes you want to live and it makes you want to die. You’re not sure how to keep going. Somehow, you figure it out and decide that life is worth living to the fullest. You find that you love to help people and find purpose in assisting others, allowing them to find their second chance as well. With that understanding, that becomes your life: weird, messy, complicated, sad, wonderful, amazing, and above all epic.

GENERATION TWO: Caroline Forbes

“When anybody tells me I can’t do something, I prove them wrong.”

►You always feel like you’re playing second fiddle. You’re neurotic, somewhat of a control freak, and know that if you want something done, you have to do it yourself. While you put on a facade of everything being perfect, inside things aren’t so bright and cheery. You often feel as shallow as a kiddie pool, but you’re working on it, and that has to count for something, right? Your life is nothing like what you expected it to be, but you find love and acceptance in unexpected places. You might not always be the first pick, but you’ll always make every moment count.

GENERATION THREE: Jeremy Gilbert

“I wake up everyday and I feel okay. But there's something missing, like a hole. Some people, they fit in life or whatever. I don't.”

►You’ve always felt like you don’t quite belong, like you’re alone in this world. You carry an empty feeling inside of you that makes you feel lost. You hold loss close to your chest and are often overcome with a lack of purpose. You try to act like everything is okay so no one worries about you and try to numb the feelings any way you can. You often know you’re making the wrong choice, but you make it anyway. As you get older, you find new ways to cope and contribute to the world around you. You find a strength you didn’t know you had. Will it be enough at last?

GENERATION FOUR: Damon Salvatore

“Because when people see good, they expect good, and I don’t want to have to live up to anyone’s expectations.”

►You have never been enough. Not for your parents, not for your siblings, not for your lovers. Your life is filled with disappointments — being one yourself and being disappointed by others. You tried to be good, to find love, to be level headed, but everyone turned their backs on you. Instead of living up to expectations, you push everyone away, secretly hoping that one day someone might break through your walls and appreciate you for who you are. Until then, if you’re going to be bad, be bad with a purpose, or else you're not worth forgiving.

“I have come to believe that we are bound forever to those with whom we share blood. And while we may not choose our family... their blood can be our greatest strength, or our deepest regret.”

►You live by a moral code all your own. Sometimes it’s not always what is right, but what is necessary. You refuse to give up on your family, even when it seems like they can’t be saved. After all, the very definition of broken means that there is something that can be fixed, and you will do anything to make it better. You dedicate your life to everyone but yourself, trying to make up for what you believe are past failings. Will you ever learn to value yourself?

GENERATION SIX: Matt Donovan

“You can’t possibly hate me more than I hate myself.”

►Corruption is everywhere you turn. You had a rough upbringing and never quite felt connected to your family. You tried to put them first, to keep them afloat, but everything fell apart before you. Even your friends fall victim to losing themselves. You explore the world and take risks before coming back home. You dedicate yourself to trying to better the world around you, to make a difference where you can. After all, as someone once told you: the first rule of truly living is to do what you fear most.

GENERATION SEVEN: Rebekah Mikaelson

"The first rule of truly living is to do the things you're most afraid of."

►Everything you love turns to ash. You fear being abandoned but it seems like nothing you do can change that. You’re always finding love in the wrong places at the wrong time, desperate to live the fairytale life of true love, growing old together, and having kids. You love through thick and thin, and are more devoted than anyone, yet still it feels like you’re always getting the short end of the stick. You become bitter and resentful, but you keep trying again and again. There is a demon in everyone, and some days it wins, but maybe one day you can control it and finally live the life you dream of.

GENERATION EIGHT: Alaric Saltzman

“I find a way to keep going, because that’s what we do. We find a way to keep going.”

However, you learned to keep going and move forward, building your family by picking up loved ones along the way. You try to be everything you can be to the people in your life, but you often feel a dead weight. You struggle to connect with people your entire life, but you hope you’ve always done the best you could for those you love.

GENERATION NINE: Klaus Mikaelson

"What some would call evil, I believe to be an appropriate response to a harsh and unfair world."

►You are pessimistic and paranoid, seeing enemies in everyone around you. As much as you might love, and deeply, your fear of being betrayed controls your life. You want more than anything to surround yourself with those that will see you for who you are and love you regardless, but you are too blinded by your emotions to see clearly those that have stood beside you all along.

If your needs aren’t being met, why shouldn’t you do everything in your power to get your way? You’re all about sharing until one day someone makes you feel worthy of love.

Have you ever been in the position, where it’s lashing rain outside and the wind is howling its ghostly cry? You could wind down to a good film but you just feel like playing The Sims, and are in dire need of a legacy with a more story-driven aspect. That’s the position I found myself in the other evening, so I set out to put together this legacy challenge!

"Seanchas" is the Gaelic word for "Folklore", and so this legacy is very loosely inspired by some famous Irish prose and poems with some elements of Irish mythology thrown in. Please note this legacy contains three supernatural-themed generations. If you are not a fan of supernatural gameplay, you may skip these if you wish. But without further ado, let's get into the rules!

· · ──────── ·𖥸· ──────── · ·· · ──────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·

Basic Rules:

No cheats allowed unless specified in the challenge rules. However if cheating needs and weather with UI Cheats for storytelling purposes is your thing then feel free, I do it myself.

There is no hard or fast rule when it comes to inheritance, however unless otherwise stated in the rules of the generation, anything in the range of §10-20k will do fine to get your sims started. Just make sure you leave enough for your previous heir!

For the best possible immersion, I suggest fleshing out your sims, their family and friends as much as possible with their own stories and personalities.

Have a keepsake item to represent each generation and store it in the Keepsake Box, items may be displayed during each generation before being returned to the box before the beginning of the following generation. (Credits to the amazing @windslar for this idea. It’s a great way of reflecting on your past sims!)

You must live in the prescribed worlds and lots of each generation. If no lot is prescribed you may choose a lot to call your home.

I highly suggest using @simkhira’s custom lifespans with MCC however the regular normal and long lifespans will suffice.

I recommend using custom save files and holidays to further spice up your gameplay. (I personally adore Ratboy and Simlicy’s save files as well as OshinSims’ guide to custom holidays).

Finally, just have a bit of craic, this legacy is story-heavy, however feel free to tweak your sims story to your liking. Go wild! Use as many mods as you’d like. My suggestions are linked below.

If you notice any discrepancies or find this challenge difficult, please let me know. I will be playing through it myself, however I’m open to tweaking it if needs be.

If you decide to play this challenge and post screenshots here please use the #seanchaslegacy. I’d love to see your gameplay!

Generation 1: An tEarrach Thiar

(‘Springtime In the West’ by Máirtín Ó Direáin)

You began your story as a youth who grew up in the bustling city of Ciudad Enamorada. You had an exemplary upbringing, but as vibrant, loving and warm as the townsfolk were, you couldn't help but feel a strong desire to break away from your hometown. To reconnect with nature and dwell on an island just like the poet's you've always read about. As luck would have it, an old abandoned cottage came up for sale one day on an island near the idylic lakeside village of Windenburg. And so, naturally you packed your bags and made off for a new adventure amidst the gentle quiet of the lapping lake waters. On arrival you find your new dwelling wholly inspiring. "If the walls of this cottage could talk," the auctioneer remarked as they handed you over the key. You spent the rest of that evening on your old typewriter, a family heirloom. Scribing your every thought and emotion you felt and turning them into enveloping stories and thought-provoking poems. However, your uncanny ability to see others and immerse yourself in their stories may just prove detrimental for your relationships with friends, family and lovers alike...

Aspiration: Bestselling Author

Career: Freelance Writer or Writer (Author)

Traits: Loner, Loves Outdoors & Bookworm

Goals:

Start out on the 'Mid-NoWhere' lot on the island in Windenburg with §20k simoleons to build or place an old cottage. The more rundown the better and use of live-edit and debug objects is recommended.

Visit Granite Falls at least once a year on a writing retreat and befriend the hermit.

Join the 'Avant Gardes' and schedule a meeting once a week.

Acquire the 'Outdoorsy' lifestyle.

Complete the Frogs collection.

In late young-adulthood, get married just one week after meeting your spouse.

As an adult, a rift begins to form between yourself and your spouse, as you find yourself confiding in your books more often than your partner these days. Perhaps your relationship was a 'kindling flame' rather than a 'roaring fire'. It is up to you whether you file for a divorce or try to make amends with them.

Master the Writing and Herbalism skills.

Master the career of your choice and complete the Bestselling Author aspiration.

Generation 2: An Spailpín Fánach

(‘The Wandering Labourer’ - Unknown Poet)

As much of a grá as you had for your homeland, growing up you always knew you'd have to leave. There was nothing for you on the island. You were never creative like your parents, in fact you were always quite the opposite. Fascinated by animals, particularly horses and by extension, cowboys. In school you picked up a penpal from a small, western town known as Chestnut Ridge. As a land which was renowned worldwide for its mastery in horsemanship, you just couldn't imagine yourself moving anywhere else. And so, one day, you wrote a letter to your penpal begging them to allow you to go and work on their family ranch. They accepted! And now you must graft and learn the ropes to become the town's new champion rider...

Aspiration: Championship Rider

Career: Farm Hand & Odd Job Connoisseur

Traits: Horse Lover, Rancher & Ambitious

Goals:

As a teenager, build up a friendship with your penpal from Chestnut Ridge. They may even travel to Windenburg on a school trip if you wish!

Once you reach young adulthood, move to your penpal's family farm. You will be earning §1,750 per week as a farm hand including your accomodation and food expenses for you and your horse. All other expenditure will come out of your own account. (I highly suggest using the SNB mod or recording your sims funds on a spreadsheet or piece of paper.)

You may use the bulletin board beside the riding centre to earn additional income with odd jobs.

Once per season, you must schedule a Ranch Gathering or Ranch Animal Day.

Buy a horse as soon as you can afford it and have them reach the maximum level in all four skills, (Temperament, Jumping, Agility, and Endurance.)

Complete the postcard collection.

If you wish, you may choose to eventually fall in love or become best friends with your penpal. If you choose to become lovers, your penpal's family will become furious and kick you both out of the household. Otherwise you must have a house of your own by the time you reach adulthood.

Master the Riding skill.

Complete the Championship Rider aspiration.

Generation 3: An Chailleach Bhéara

(‘The Hag of Beara’, Folklore Tale - Various Authors)

Growing up in a small town was never going to be easy. It must be exhausting trying that hard to live in the pockets of others. Either you toed the line and worked the land or you were treated like an outcast. As someone with an intrigue for the art of magic and a flair for flower arranging, you were exiled from society, spat at by some and avoided entirely by others. One day, whilst in high school the local bully decided it was your turn to be picked on. Let's just say they picked on the wrong pissed off lad that day! You stared at the bully in anger and frustration and all of a sudden, the fence they were leaning on snapped, sending them into a pile of horse dung on the far side! Scared witless and confused, all you could do was make haste, for a land that was said to be full of 'strange' individuals like yourself known as Glimmerbrook. You had nearly arrived at your destination when you stumbled upon an overgrown archway in the evergreen woods. The stench of pine was almost insufferable, however it soon became evident that this was no ordinary woods nor ordinary archway, it appeared to be calling your name, and so you put your hand forth into the abyss only to find it was a portal... Mages! Potions! Wands! You have dreamt of this day since you were a child. Now is your chance to prove them all wrong back home and become the great spellcaster you were always destined to be!

Aspiration: Spellcraft and Sorcery or Purveyor of Potions

Career: Gardener (Florist)

Traits: Hot-Headed, Vegetarian & Socially Awkward (Change for Wise as an Elder)

In the latter stages of teenagehood, run away from home and move into an empty lot of your choice in Glimmerbrook.

Enter the portal in the woods and become a spellcaster.

Adopt a black cat as your familiar.

Complete the Magical Artefacts collection.

Master the Flower Arranging skill.

Master the Florist career and complete the aspiration of your choice.

Generation 4: Mise Éire

(‘I am Ireland’ by Pádraic Mac Piarais)

You have always had great time for the literary geniuses of our past. Moreover a great appreciation for the various languages and by extension, cultures which define each and every one of us. Your mortal parent always spoke fondly of their hometown, Copperdale, and one day you realised that’s it! That is where I see my future! Learning about my nation's past, its language and songs. Then spreading your knowledge and giving an inspiring education to its youth. And so as a young adult you set off for the historic university town of Britechester, where you hoped to earn a distinguished degree in Language and Literature. Here you meet some of your best friends, worst enemies and ultimately your soulmate. Later on in life as a teacher you naturally hold your spouse, as well as your own children to incredibly high standards, a fatal flaw which could cost you your relationship with them…

Aspiration: Academic

Master the Logic and Research & Debate skills.

Generation 5: Géibheann

(‘Captivity’ by Caitlín Maude)

If you were to sum up your childhood in one word it would be… torturous. With unrealistic expectations, constant criticism and an overall genuine fear of your parents, you nearly left your dreams for dusk. Nearly did, but not quite. Instead of becoming a doctor as your parents always hoped, you decided you’d be better fit to look after four-legged patients instead. And so, you set off to the seaside town of Brindleton Bay, known for its remarkable advances in animal care. Whilst there you will live with your elderly grandmother who for many years has taken care of the town’s lighthouse. She was so chuffed to hear of your coming that she built a wee shed at the back of her home for you to open your first veterinary practice. It’s a real shame that those back home were never this supportive. Escaping was the only way, you keep telling yourself. I suppose the salt air will do you good if nothing else…

Aspiration: Friend of the Animals

Career: Veterinarian

Traits: Animal Lover, Gloomy & Loyal

Goals:

Once you reach young adulthood, move in with your grandmother who resides in Brindleton Bay.

Open your first practice in the back garden before relocating to a new lot once you reach a 3 star rating.

Become best friends with your grandmother and take her out for lunch once a week because she deserves it!

Have the clinic reach 5 stars.

Adopt at least one stray dog and one stray cat.

Have at least one pet master all the tricks that can be learned.

Complete the feathers collection.

Meet your future spouse at the clinic, cliché I know, but their dog was class…

Become good friends with all your children. You don’t want a repeat of the relationship you had with your own parents…

Master the Veterinary and Pet Training skills.

Complete the Friend of the Animals aspiration.

Generation 6: Cú Chulainn

(Folklore Tale - Various Authors)

You always loved helping out in the clinic at home. But you had a particular grá for dogs, especially the wilder ones. Werewolves always peaked your interest, with their ferocious howls and bloodthirsty stares. It was always rumoured that a pack of werewolves roamed around the woods of Moonwood Mill, so naturally you had to go and discover the truth for yourself. Whilst wandering the dark forests, you came across a rather rundown homestead with a sign outside stating ‘BEWARE OF GREG’. But who is Greg? You soon found out and let’s just say it wasn’t pretty. The day after your encounter you can’t help but shake this ravenous feeling, you just can’t keep yourself full, then the intense hair growth started. One night, as the moon rose in the eastern sky, your change was completed… Your legs grew until it was as if you were on stilts and your ears pointed like spears. Was this really happening or is it just a bad dream? I suppose all one can do now is embrace the fury…

Generation 7: Dís

(‘Couple’ by Siobhán Ní Shúilleabháin)

You grew up idolising the wolf pack, despite not being a wolf yourself. Yet when the time came you knew you’d have to leave. Becoming a singer has always been the dream, werewolves make very excellent musicians believe it or not! You spent your teenage days with your best friend, a fellow mortal, writing songs and performing them live at the Grimtooth Bar & Bunker. So on your 18th birthday, you and your best friend made for the big city of San Myshuno to fulfil your dreams of becoming musicians. As the years go by, your fame grows. You meet the love of your life and leave your best friend for dusk. Then the morning of your wedding, you wake to see a closeup of your partner caressing another in a tabloid! Heartbroken, you leave your partner at the altar and make a B-line for your ex-best friend’s apartment in the spice district, but will they be able to find it in their heart to forgive you? I hope so. The baby has to sleep somewhere…

Generation 8: Hurlamaboc

(‘Commotion’ by Éilís Ní Dhuibhne’)

Your upbringing was about as far from normal as you could get. Let’s just say the limelight of your parents shone a bit too brightly for your liking. On top of that they fought constantly and were always spiteful of each other. They never told you why. Instead you found out by means of someone plastering that cheating picture all over your school locker! Yikes… And so you sought to give your family a perfectly ordinary upbringing. In the perfect suburban town of San Sequoia, with a childhood full of love, hugs and who could forget the packed lunches? Certainly not you! Especially with your new pizza and waffle makers! However as time passes you find that helicopter parenting is perhaps not always a good thing. With a partner (your high-school sweetheart) that is so laid back that they’re only short of falling over half the time, can you put manners on your spoiled children before it’s too late or will parenthood get all too much for you…

Generation 9: An Gnáthrud

(‘The Usual Thing by Cathal Ó Searcaigh’)

You got the perfect upbringing. Your creativity was allowed to shine and your parents loved every inch of you. You always had great plans of going to Britechester and studying Art History, that was until news came out of your uncle’s mysterious disappearance. He left his farm in Henford-On-Bagley to your parents, however the pain of his passing was all too much for them to bear. You didn’t want to go, but your uncle was always so good to you as a kid that you felt you must go and investigate his sudden death instead. On arrival all the villagers seem friendly. The Watson’s do seem a bit suspicious though, and why are the Crumplebottoms looking at me like that? It is up to you to restore your uncle’s farm and uncover the truth about his disappearance…

Aspiration: Painter Extraordinaire (Switch for Country Caretaker once you move.)

Career: Farmer and Freelance Artist

Traits: Art Lover, Paranoid & Squeamish (All Parenthood Reward Traits also.)

Option 1 - The Watson’s poisoned your uncle as he refused to sell them his farm. You find out through a bundle of old solicitors letters from the Watsons threatening legal action if your uncle refused to sell up. You bring your evidence to the police and upon further investigation the head of the family is found guilty of your uncle’s murder and is jailed for life.

Option 2 - Your uncle was eaten by the cowplant in the garden (a classic I know). You find out one day when you forget to feed your cowplant and be dies revealing your uncle’s remains!

Master the Painting and Gardening skills.

Once you find out the truth about your uncle you may choose to sell the farm, move into a small tigín with your family and resume the Painter Extraordinaire aspiration or stay on the farm and complete the Country Caretaker aspiration.

In either case you must complete the second level of both aspirations and complete at least one.

Generation 10: Tír na nÓg

(‘The Land of Youth’, Folklore Tale - Various Authors)

Growing up in a well-to-do, tight knit village, people were often nasty and spewed uncensored opinions when it came to keeping up appearances. As a teenager this took a serious toll on you. Beauty and skincare became a ritual. You got up at 6am most mornings to go for a run out of fear that people may call you ‘unfit’ or ‘undesirable’. One morning, whilst out on your morning run, you meet two dark figures. They greet you with kind waves and one of the figures asks you why you’re jogging at such an ungodly hour. Without thinking you tell them your every insecurity. The pair laugh and offer to take you to a place which was said to offer eternal youth and beauty to its inhabitants. A land known as Forgotten Hollow. You jump at the opportunity and follow the pair back to their homestead. A large haunting estate greets you on arrival and before you know it, you feel a pair of sharp, dagger-like objects sinking into the side of your neck. Teeth!! Before you know it, you drift into a deep slumber. On awakening you rub your eyes to see the same two figures you saw in the woods, except this time, one of the figures appears to be holding a pouch filled with a red substance. Blood? Your lips begin to tremble as they approach. So… thirsty... For the first time you look around and find that you’re sitting in a coffin! “Caleb”, one of the figures remarks as he hands you the pouch. You shake his hand. “And this is my sister, Lillith”, she gazes at you, and to your shock horror two large fangs emerge from her dazzling smile. “It’s so lovely to have company” she spits out. And so began your journey as a vampire, whether you can escape the grasp of the twins or decide to stay and marvel in your newfound beauty and power is entirely up to you…
