Lucid Legacy Challenge!

Welcome to my 10 generation Lucid Legacy Challenge!

Creating my very own legacy challenge has been a dream of mine for years. Im so proud of how this challenge came out and, most importantly, I hope you love it just as much!

Sims challenges are not meant to restrict you! Each generation will have goals and descriptions, but everything can and should be customized to your gameplay style!

Check out the video overview of this challenge HERE

If you play this legacy challenge please #LucidLegacyChallenge or tag me so I can check it out! I'm so excited to see what you create. I hope you enjoy and let's get into it:

Gen One

Farmer Family

The simple life is the life for you! Tending to your farm, nightly family dinners, and knowing everyone in your community. You're living the small town dream. You and your partner are best friends! Not only best friends, but almost the same person. You have the same goals in life and help each other achieve them! Working together to grow your garden and take care of your animals is only the beginning. Once you started having children, something you've always dreamed of, your farm only expanded from there! Everyone in the house has their own jobs; whether that be cleaning, gardening, cooking, tending to animals, etc. You make money by selling your own products and over time, you become the biggest family run farm in town! Although you love all your children, as you get older you realize there needs to be someone to pass your land onto. You've worked so hard on it your whole life after all! Out of all of your children, there seems to be a clear choice on who it should be. You live your last days preparing this child to run the farm once you pass, and feel comfort in knowing they will continue your legacy!

Goals:

Have the Family Oriented and Loves Outdoors traits

Complete the Country Caretaker Aspiration

Max the gardening skill

Must live on at least a 50x40 lot

Start on only a portion of your lot, expand throughout your life until the entire lot is farm land

Have a partner with the same aspiration as you (wether you create them in CAS or meet them in game)

Have at least 3 children with your partner

Win at least 2 town fair contests

Have Simple Living lot challenge on home lot

Unlock the People Person lifestyle

Gen Two

Content Creator

Although they would never admit it, you have always been the outcast in your family. Things that came naturally to them were always undesirable to you. You love them and they love you, but that doesn't change the obvious. When they were all getting dirty outdoors, you were in your room in your own little world. Video gaming is your number one passion! After attempting to conform to farm life your whole childhood, your parents ended up getting you a computer as a teen and your world changed from there. Playing games, streaming, watching other gamers, making friends online- you realized for the first time ever just how big the world is beyond your small town! Your teen life was spent staying up as late as possible and gaming until you couldn't keep your eyes open anymore. After becoming a young adult and being immersed in fantasy worlds for years, you decide to move to the city for a fresh start! Talk about culture shock, everything was different here from where you grew up! Luckily for you, you meet your future spouse soon after moving which makes the transition a lot easier. You start your streaming/YouTube career and blow up! Your videos become so popular that you become a B-lister! You're known as a down to earth celebrity to most, probably because of the way you grew up. In fact, most of the money you earn goes straight to your child! Your parents let you be exactly who you were despite it being very different from them, and you want to do the same thing for your child. Even if that means spoiling them rotten!

Goals:

Have the Squeamish trait

Complete 2/4 parts of the Computer Whiz aspiration

Become famous by streaming, posting videos, etc.

Make and sell your own video game

Move to the city as a young adult

Mary someone from the city, who you meet once moving there

Max the Media Production and Video Gaming skills

Unlock the Techie and Coffee Fanatic lifestyles

Have only one child who is very spoiled

Become at least a 3 star celebrity

Gen Three

Disillusioned Dreamer

You can achieve anything you want to- right? Growing up being an only child, you were the apple of your parent's eyes. Okay maybe that's an understatement. You got everything you wanted growing up. You wanted a pet? They got two for you. You wanted to travel? They brought you anywhere in the world. You decided you wanted to be a musician? They bought you the most expensive instruments to choose from. In fact, that's exactly what happened! Your parent was famous for their passion, so why can't it be the same for you? You fell in love with making music and, more importantly, the idea of being famous. One day you will go on a world tour and be the most famous musician in the world!! Fast forward to your adult life: you're living in a place payed for by your parents, you spend a lot of time at bars and parties, and (worst of all) you're not famous for your music. Why are all your dreams not coming true? You spend many nights performing on the street, at cafes, at bars, or anywhere really. The only good thing to come out of these performances was meeting your spouse. After a long defeating night of playing music to strangers who couldn't care less, you meet the one person who took the time to listen and appreciate your music! Someone finally understanding your musical genius? It felt like love at first sight Your parents ended up buying you a music store for you to run once they realized your music career was most likely not taking off (of course they didn't say that part to you). While you loved owning your own business centered around music, you knew it wasn't your life calling Even though your dreams never became reality, you never stopped hoping. You constantly told your kids (and anyone who would listen) that one day you will tour the world as a musician! You'll show them one day...

Goals:

Have the world famous celebrity aspiration, but do not complete it

Have the music lover and Self absorbed traits

Maintain at least 'good friend' level friendship with both of your parents throughout your life

Go all in on different hobbies as a child until you find music

Perform on streets, bars, coffee shops, your music store, etc.

Marry someone you meet while performing

Own music store (retail) bought by your parents (you can use money cheats for this if it's easier)

Max mixology skill

Unlock Junk Food Fiend lifestyle

Have a pregnancy, get someone pregnant, or adopt multiples (Twins, Triplets, etc.)

Gen Four

Bohemian Backpacker

You've always been a 'go with the flow' type of person. Most of your relationship with your parent growing up was them telling you how they will 'travel the world one day'. Of course they were talking about their delusions of being famous, but all you heard was 'travel'. Every once in a while, while hanging out at your parent's music store as a kid, you'd meet someone from a part of the world you've never been to. You always had a million questions and wanted to experience it for yourself, but where should you live as an adult? The answer: everywhere! You decide to pack everything up and see the world! From the beaches of Sulani to the snowy peak of Mt. Komerebi, you want to experience it all! If there was a non-materialistic trait, you would have it. Material possessions only distract people from appreciating Mother Nature anyway! You (and your partner) sell photographs or collectables to get by, but the goal for you is never to make a lot of money. In true free spirit fashion, you never get married. I mean who needs a piece of paper to prove how much you love someone? You still have kid(s) and have a beautiful and healthy relationship. That's all that matters. You spend your life embracing different cultures and appreciating the beauty of the world.

Goals:

Complete either The Curator or Outdoor Enthusiast aspiration

Have Loves Outdoors and Cheerful traits

Max Photography and Herbalism Skills

Unlock Frequent Traveler and Outdoorsy lifestyles

Have at least one child and live with your partner, but never get married or engaged

Live in at least 5 sim worlds in your life

Never have a "normal" home. Live in: a treehouse, van/RV life, a cabin, a boathouse, etc.

Never have a job, make money by selling things

Gen Five

Remote Writer

If there was a contest for most introverted person in the world, you wouldn't even enter because that sounds too social for you. The only company you need is your own mind. Besides, when you grow up moving around as much as you did, it's hard to make connections with other people. Luckily, that's just how you like it. Your parent was obsessed with seeing the world, but you're obsessed with creating your own worlds. You've wanted to be a writer for as long as you could remember. You acted like an adult even as a child. Your parent's view of the world was definitely not shared by you. In fact, you wasted no time in moving out on your own. Finally it was time to live life your way- the right way. The only thing you didn't expect or plan was meeting your partner. Most of your relationship was formed online instead of in person, Which is how you preferred it. Once you did meet in person though, you moved in together and eloped as soon as possible! I guess when you know, you know. You spend most of your time writing in your office and having your daily routine that you don't change. Even writing best selling novels and having kids doesn't make you stray from your norm. That is until you have a new idea for your next book... You become obsessed with the paranormal! You even decide to move your family into a secluded haunted house in order to write this book. Which is without a doubt the most spontaneous thing you've ever done in your life, maybe even more than getting married so quickly. You end up leaving behind a legacy of books you wrote and the family you had... but most importantly the books.

Goals:

Complete the Best-selling Author aspiration

Have loner trait

Max writing skill

Unlock Indoorsy lifestyle

Meet someone/form relationship online, get married and have kids fast when meeting

Rarely leave your house

Never has good friend, besides maybe your family

Move into a secluded haunted house as an adult.

Name children after famous authors and/or famous literary characters

Gen Six

Spooky Soulmates

You've always been a believer in fate. Growing up was hard in a family like yours. Never having many social interactions and having been raised by your strange parents, you've always been a little different. Thanks to fate, you meet someone as a child who is just like you! You two always seem to click and there's times when you feel like the same person. After being best friends, you start dating as teenagers because it just felt right. To be honest, you've been in love with them your whole life! When your parent moved your family into a haunted house, fate struck again. You couldn't believe there's this whole other part of the world out there, and at the same time it made complete sense! The only person who believed you though was your partner. Being the only person to confide in about this made your bond that much stronger (if that was even possible). After the initial shock of learning about the paranormal, you realized there's a reason it came into your life. You're a medium. No wonder why you've always felt so different! Your whole life now made sense and you can see how you've been pulled to this destiny. You even hone your skills enough to eventually become a paranormal investigator! Once you and your partner get married, you buy a house of your own that is not haunted. When it comes to your career, while you're very passionate about it, you decide it's best to not bring work home with you if you can help it. As much as your job means to you, your relationship was and always will be the center on your world. You fill your home with beautiful memories and children. Growing old together with your best friend and soulmate, you are endlessly thankful to the universe for bringing you two together.

Goals:

Complete the Soulmate aspiration

Have the Romantic and Loyal traits

Meet someone as a child who becomes your best friend and partner

Max the Medium Skill

Own a cat as an adult

Become a freelance paranormal investigator, work in a part time job until you can join this career

Once married, have a date night with your partner at least once a week

Have at least 4 kids

You and your partner have a gothic aesthetic

Have a vow renewal with your spouse as an adult or elder

Gen Seven

Furry Friends Furever

Animals are so much better than humans. Your family cat growing up was your best friend! You were always a little socially awkward, but animals never judged you. You took your pet to the vet anytime they needed it, and it was there that your animal fixation grew. Adults can spend all day with animals instead of other people? Why wouldn't everyone do that?? You grew up seeing your parents have the most perfect relationship ever and thought that you should have the same thing, so you married your first ever partner just like they did. Only for you, it wasn't meant to be. After having kids with your spouse, you both realize you can't force the relationship anymore. You decide to get a divorce and split custody of the kids. Even when it's the right thing to do, divorce is hard, so you decide to focus on what makes you happy- your business. Your vet office ends up thriving after throwing yourself into your work. No more forcing things that aren't meant to be! You end up never getting remarried or having another long term relationship again. Some people (like your parents) would feel empty without a partner to share their life with, but you spend your life with your animals and children. You wouldn't have it any other way.

Goals:

Complete Friend of the Animals aspiration

Have the Socially Awkward and either Cat Lover, Dog lover, or Animal Enthusiast traits.

Become companions with every pet you have.

Have at least 3 types of animals on home lot at a time: cat, dog, fish, hamster, bees, cow, chicken, llama, etc.

Own/run a vet office

Get divorced after having child/kids

Split custody with ex spouse (ie. use manage worlds to move the kids back and forth)

Max veterinarian skill

Drastically change hair after divorce

Never remarry

Gen Eight

Healing Heart

You try to spread peace everywhere you go. Watching your parents go through a divorce when you were a kid really changed you. You didn't understand why they couldn't just get along or why they got together in the first place if they ended up being so different? You hated when people fought and that's all you saw from them growing up. You make it your mission in life to spread light and joy everywhere you go because there's just not enough of it! You work in the self-care industry teaching yoga, giving massages, doing nails, and overall trying to make people feel good. You try to always practice what you preach, living a healthy lifestyle yourself. You tend to stay away from romantic relationships because of what happened with your parents. You love the idea of falling in love and spending your life with someone, but the hurt that could come from that just isn't worth it to you. In a possible lapse of judgment, you have a one night stand with your best friend. It definitely wasn't planned but the result will be permanent because... you end up having a baby together! Despite this, you decide not to start dating. You're too worried it would ruin your friendship or, worse, end in you two breaking up and making your child go through the same thing you did. That's your biggest fear. You remain best friends as you raise your child together, always living right next to each other and being very hands on parents. There's times where you find yourself wanting more, but your inner voice talks you out of it every time. Until... One day, your child already being a teenager at this point, your best friend confesses their love for you! You've both always felt it, but neither of you acted on it until now (and when your child was conceived of course). The thing that you've lived your whole life thinking was your biggest fear, suddenly didn't seem so bad. The unthinkable happened. Your mind set changed in an instant and you didn't want to spend another second not being with your person. You feel a weight being lifted from you when you finally allow yourself to love. You didn't know happily ever after existed until you experienced it yourself, and you live the rest of your life being head over heels in love!

Goals:

Complete Self-care Specialist aspiration

Have the Vegetarian and Cheerful traits

Max Wellness skill

Unlock the Health Food Nut and Energetic lifestyles

Make money by teaching yoga and giving massages and manicures

Have a one night stand with best friend resulting in a child

Do not start dating baby's other parent until they are a teenager

Before getting together, always live right next door to best friend and raise baby together

Help your child raise their first child

Gen Nine

Quirky Creations

You're a thrift store come to life. For as long as you can remember, people have always described you as quirky. You gladly accept this label! You try and make just about everything you can from scratch. Need a new pair of socks? You knit them! Want a candle for your room? You hand dip one! Your room growing up becomes a collection of various nicknacks and your own artistic creations. You start dating someone as a teen who you don't have a lot in common with- a result of teen rebellion maybe? Well, one thing lead to another and you end up having a baby! You tell your partner and they don't end up being as excited as you to say the least. They end your relationship and refuse to be in your child's life. Of course this isn't how you wanted things to go, but they made their decision and you make yours. You're so excited to be a parent and luckily have the help of your own parents. As your baby gets a little older, you realize you'll need to find reliable income and live independently at some point! You always sold your creations on Plopsy, but you're too extroverted to do that forever. You decide to open a little shop where you sell your own creations as well as other vintage goods! This shop is the physical version of your personality- Quirky! From old books, to clothes, to antiques; if you can find or make it, you sell it! As luck would have it, you meet your future spouse at your own store! Your personalities match perfectly and they even embrace your child as their own- and you do the same! Both being single parents is something that bonded you from the beginning. You get married and have even more kids together! Your big blended family ends up being your favorite creation you've ever made.

Goals:

Complete either the Painter Extraordinaire, Master Maker, or Lord/Lady of the Knits aspiration

Have the Creative and Maker traits

Have first baby as a teen or early young adult, other parent not in life

Run an antique/thrift store (retail)

Unlock the People Person lifestyle

Marry as a young adult to someone who is also a single parent

Have more kids once married

Decorate home by making/thrifting everything

You and spouse adopt each other's children as care dependents

Max at least three of these skills: Fabrication, Handiness, Painting, Flower Arranging, Knitting, or Cross Stitch.

Gen Ten

Occult Obsessed

If you could choose to change your identity, what would you pick? You discovered your life purpose the day you found a book on occults as a kid. Your parents shop was always collecting old books that you liked to go through. You loved reading but the subject of the book never stuck with you until now. Are Vampires real? Mermaids? Spell Casters and Werewolves?? At first you loved learning more about this world of fantasy, but then that fantasy became a reality. Being a person of logic, you learn everything you can about each occult, but it wasn't enough. Once you become a young adult you decide to set out to find answers first hand. After traveling to what felt like each corner of the world, you end up meeting someone of each different occult type. You learn from them, even the interactions that aren't as friendly show you so much about their world. Each time you think you should be satisfied with the knowledge you've gathered, you only want to know more. After your travels, you decide there's only one thing to do. Become an occult. You pick the occult that you've grown the most obsessed with and do whatever it takes to become one yourself! Moving forward you completely immerse yourself in this occult and the community you have as a result.

Goals:

Find a book about an occult in your parents store as a kid

Read/research about these occult types: mermaid, spell caster, vampire, and werewolf

✧･ﾟ: * Whimsy Stories Legacy Challenge *:･ﾟ✧

Do you ever feel like stories don’t come to you naturally?

That you find yourself repeating the same old thing over and over?

That you want to be the type of simmer who becomes invested in their sims lives in a borderline unhealthy way? This is the challenge for you!

Find yourself falling in love with complex and beautiful sims in the Whimsy Stories Legacy Challenge! Stories that you, with the help of your pixel people of course, bring to life!

PSA: You can, of course, add any extra story elements/drama/ideas/etc that you think of to your gameplay! This is meant to expand your gameplay, not place you in a box.

Money cheats are ALLOWED (to a degree) unless otherwise stated. Money cheats may be used for things like free real estate and storyline purposes when necessary.

GEN ONE:

Without a Home but not Without Love

Our story begins as most stories do.. with endurance.

You are homeless.

You’ve gone out into the world with nothing but a tent and a dream. As a child you never had your own home. You were bounced from place to place, always dreaming of a suburban home to call your own. With a family of your own.

As you have since you were a young child, you long for a life of normalcy. You are tired of everything around you being turbulent and broken. So you search for joy in the mundane.

Life is lonely at first, but fortunately you find love with another homeless sim. You have nothing but it feels like absolutely everything with your partner by your side.

You are a care-free, nature loving, and naïve dreamer. Some may call you a hippy, but you just call yourself happy.

From the ground up you create.

Create candles, fabricate your own furniture, and search dumpsters to make it by. Eventually, you have a home of your own, built by your own two hands.

A tiny home.

Not only is this a tiny home, but it is a suburban tiny home! Your dream is finally realized!

You will stay in this comfy small shoe-box size home for the rest of your life. Growing in your garden, raising your children, and selling the things you make for an income at the local markets.

GOALS:

- Find love while homeless

- Name all children after nature

- Must live in a suburban styled tiny home (that you build cheat-free) for their entire life. (Micro home for young adulthood - afterwards you may upgrade)

- Foster a healthy Garden

- Plant Parent (I mean.. This house is FULL of plants. Which surprisingly fit in 32 tiles)

- Have at least 3 tattoos

- Master the Fabrication/Handiness/Wellness skills.

- Have Loves Outdoors/Freegan Traits

- Complete Maker Aspiration

- Be self-employed with the Freelance SIMply Crafted Career

- Rarely wear makeup/Love to dress casually

GEN TWO:

Happiness is not only found in a partner.

You grew up extremely loved and cared for by your parents. They were the perfect couple. After watching what seemed to be the perfect love story unfold since you were a child, you feel as though it can’t be possible for you to have the same thing.

It even begins to feel daunting.

So you choose to stay away from love. You might go on a date here and there but ultimately your fear and anxiety about having a partner keeps you single for nearly your entire life.

Though you never wanted a partner, you love children. You have always wanted to be a parent. The idea of giving a small sim a home and love for the rest of their lives makes your heart swell. You want to be that for someone.

And whoever said you need a partner to have kids?

You say to heck with societal norms and adopt four children throughout your life. You parent them alone. Even though it’s just you, they have all of the love they could ever ask for. They are happy. Your family is picture perfect.

You are a SUPER parent and feel that your life is completely full of love even though you never had a romantic interest.

Until you hit elderhood. Caught by surprise, you meet someone who you instantly connect with. You both have lived your own lives and find yourself completely and fully in love, completely and fully unexpectedly.

You live out the rest of your days with your new-found soulmate and knit adorable creations for your grand-kids.

GOALS:

- Adopt 4 children

- Must not be in a relationship until elderhood

- Marry as an elder

- Complete Super Parent aspiration

- Have Unflirty & Family Oriented Traits

- Complete Parenting/Research & Debate Skills

- Must go ALL OUT for every season and holiday. Like, your house is DECORATED. Your tree is perfect. Your home should be in a magazine. Yeah, that kind of dedication.

- Must complete the Education career.

- Always have at least one animal in the household

- Have a gallery wall full of family photos

GEN THREE:

Sometimes life brings you a little bundle of joy in the shape of an accident

As soon as you age out of teenhood, (which was a wild time of partying and homework being turned in late) you become a mixologist at the local bar.

You are a clumsy sim who fears the sound of commitment but love to have a good time. You enjoy dating new and exciting sims but never commit to anything too serious.

You love your job and you love that you don’t have to show up for anyone.

If you don’t have to show up for anyone, then you can’t disappoint them.

One morning, after a rough night of partying and a whole lot of bubble blowing and juice, you find yourself waking up just not feeling right. You’re tired, you’re feeling ill, and food sounds absolutely revolting.

You take the test and sure enough you’re pregnant!

After the initial wave of fear, you touch your belly and feel warmth at the idea of no longer being alone. While children were never the first thing on your mind, you also can’t say you never considered having a few later in life. Turns out later is right now.

(If your sim is unable to become pregnant a baby will be “dropped off” at your door in three sim days. You don’t know who the parent is. *can use adoption for this*)

BUT. Who is the parent? You realize then that there are three different possibilities and you won’t know until the baby is here.

Will you confront them when you find out, jump in with them and co-parent, or will you go it alone? It’s up to you!

GOALS:

- Complete Serial Romantic aspiration

- Complete Mixologist career

- Have Clumsy/Noncommittal/Outgoing Traits

- Begin life alone in a dingy San Myshuno apartment

- Always have a bright/fun hair color

- Must complete the “try for baby” interaction with three different sims all in the same night.

If you have downloaded MC Command Center, change the chance of conception for Try for Baby to 50%

If your sim is unable to become pregnant, adopt a baby three days later as if they have been dropped off from an unknown partner.

- Name child after an alcoholic beverage (I'm sorry)

- Complete Dancing/Mixology/Juice Fizzing Skills

- Have a hobby making Juice

- Child Support may be added at 500 simoleons once per week with “UI Cheats” OR “testingcheats on” if you choose to parent alone.

(You MAY have more children/Marry after the first unplanned child)

GEN FOUR:

Bringing beauty out of the broken.

Ever since you can remember, you have loved houses and architecture.

Late nights being driven to your babysitter’s while your parent worked late nights at the bar, you stared out the window watching overgrown homes fade away. You heart ached for what once was.

Not only did you love houses, but you loved the broken-down wayward houses at the end of the street. The ones that no one cared for anymore. The ones you felt must have been loved once a very long time ago.

You could see the potential and the history in every plank of wood and every brick that kept those homes standing.

As a teen, and into young adult-hood, you find yourself having a terrible habit of befriending and dating “fixer upper” sims. Growing up with your chaotic parent and household, it was hard not to feel that way.

You had to learn the hard way that you can’t fix sims, so you’d have to stick to houses.

You set off into the world with a goal to turn what was seen as unfixable into beauty. You flip every house on your street, every old and worn down house is made new. You slowly but surely build up the neighborhood into something brand new.

You work as a freelance artist on the side to sustain yourself and your family. Pinterest is quite literally your best friend.

You also run a very successful simstagram page where you are sure to post new photos of your projects and of your daily life!

Through all of this you find the Chip to your Joanna and marry a sim with a passion for woodworking and handiness! Together you flip the disasters that once were into beautiful dreams for other sims.

You soon find out that you were right, these homes could be loved again.

GOALS:

- Must begin life in Courtyard Lane, Willow Creek. You will flip every house in the neighborhood by the end of your sim’s life through manage worlds (You do NOT have to live in the lot to flip it)

You may instead place your own run-down builds in those lots and renovate those.

If you want an extra challenge - wheel spin for a budget! You can add the leftover funds to your sims household using “testingcheats on” or “UI Cheats”

- Marry a sim in the Manual Labor career with passion for woodworking

- Have Self-assured/Ambitious traits

- Complete Freelancer career (Art)

- Every child’s name shares the same first letter (ex. ingrid, isabel, ivy)

- Complete the Handiness/Painting/Photography skills

- Post to social media once every day

- Live in the final home that you flip

- Be dressed to impress all the time. Growing up in hand-me downs, you felt self conscious. Now you are able to dress as fantastically as your heart desires!

GEN FIVE:

Love always finds a way.

As a child you always had a crush on the neighbor kid next door.

You were each other’s first friend & first crush.

As you grew into teenhood, you eventually tested the waters and started to date! It just made sense. You together just made sense. From first friends to first loves, this was a forever thing from the start. It was rare, but it was happening for the two of you.

That is, until your partner’s family decided to pack up and move to the city.

You tearfully part ways and decide that moving on from each other would be best, as San Myshuno is quite a far reach from your small corner of Willow Creek.

You were always extremely academic and were preparing for Uni from the moment you entered High School.

You work hard on your studies. Homework comes before everything else, and if not that, you can be found in a book. You sometimes feel the ache of missing your first love, but you focus on school to dull the pain.

There are dates here and there with new sims, but nothing ever compared to your past love.

You apply for Uni with straight A’s and a dream to become a supreme court Judge. You know you can make a positive change in the world.

You’re accepted! And on your first day on campus, to your great surprise, you see the person you’ve thought of every day for the past three years.

Your childhood love.

You instantly reconnect and quickly your love story unfolds all over again. This time though, there is nothing to separate you. After graduation, you have a beautiful wedding and stay together until you’re old and wrinkly.

GOALS:

- Complete Logic/Research & Debate/Charisma Skills

- Complete Soulmate Aspiration

- Have the Bookworm & Romantic Traits

- Have A’s in school

- Have twins.. Twice

- Attend Uni and complete the History Degree

- Complete the Law career (Judge branch)

- Have the most wholesome wedding that any sim has ever seen

- Must be best friends with another sim through childhood, date that sim as a teen, and then be separated.

- Must reunite with said childhood love in University and remain together for the rest of your days!

GEN SIX:

I make up my own story as I go. Most often it changes and rides with the flow.

Ever since you can remember, you haven’t been sure of anything.

You aren’t sure if you have a favorite color, a favorite type of music, or even a favorite food!

You seem to change your mind about the same subject ten times a day. It’s exhausting for everyone around you, but this is just your normal.

Your clothing is mismatched. A different style every day and for every outfit. Your home is a tornado of contemporary, traditional, eclectic, and modern.

You live in clutter. It’s.. a lot. But you wouldn’t have it any other way. Somehow, the mess is comforting to you.

You constantly have a new skill you’re interested in, always picking up a new “thing”

And your mismatched mind even goes as far as your relationships (which you bounce in and out of like it’s nobody’s business)

By the time you’re an elder you’ve been married three times and finally settle with someone who is the exact opposite of you. A perfectionist who deals with all of your mess because they truly do love you. They don’t want to change you, and that makes your heart sing. Because for all of your life before them, that has been everyone else’s goal.

You go with the flow, you change your hair, you start woodworking at 12am. Your soul is a chaotic but beautiful mess and that’s just the way you like it.

GOALS:

- Complete the Renaissance Sim aspiration

- Have a different style and/or mismatched colors for every outfit

- Randomize one outfit completely (that little dice button will be your best friend)

- Change hair color every time you age up

- Be married three times (and divorced twice)

- Have and then lose five friends

- Complete level 3 of 3 different jobs

- Change your name at least once

- Find a perfectionist sim to marry in adulthood

- Have Goofball/Slob Traits

GEN SEVEN:

Nature holds us close when others do not

Ah, to live a life of peace and quiet. The only sounds being the water rushing behind your cottage (one with a perfect aesthetic)

No need to dream of it, because this IS your life!

You grow up feeling very passionate about the environment and the world around you. Your parent was a MESS. You had a fun childhood, but their constant hobby jumping was terrible for the environment.

As soon as you become a young adult, you swear off all electricity and plumbing. You want to undo the damage that Sim-kind does to the world in any way possible.

You spend your days repairing windmills and solar panels, showering in rain water, painting to make a living, and attending protests in the city when possible. Even though you hate leaving your isolated home.

You live for being alone, but mostly because you find it hard to talk to people. Creating real connections can be difficult but one day you hope to have another someone in your life who is also content to live in the quiet.

You can often be found hiking, biking, swimming, scuba diving, and even at the base of Mt. Komorebi in your spare time! Nature is your closest friend.

When you aren’t hiking, you’re playing with your pet raccoon. You found him digging in the trash one night and just couldn’t leave him. I mean, look at his beady little eyes!

Until one day on a hike when you find another loner.

Another lover of the quiet and peaceful life.

And you feel a warmth in your chest that you haven’t for years.

Love.

Together, you raise one single child (you still aren’t TOO fond of people, let’s be real) and live the rest of your days in your warm little corner of the world.

GOALS:

- Have Gloomy/Loner Traits

- Complete Curator Aspiration

- Live in a small beach home OR woodland cottage

- Live Off the Grid for entire life

- Join a protest whenever possible (or donate to the cause)

- Have a raccoon for a pet

- Complete Painting/Fitness Skills

- Complete Painting Career

- Have only three close friends

- Have only one child

- Must be a Scout as a Child

GEN EIGHT:

Being known by one person who truly sees you is worth more than 1000 eyes watching

It’s always been about you and only you from the moment you opened your star studded eyes. You were an only child who grew up in a small off the grid cottage, but you longed for something more.

As a teen your walls were covered in boy band posters. You were constantly singing and as soon as you were a teen, your heart was set on acting.

You longed to be known, to be wanted, to be seen. By every sim alive.

You’re also a liiiittle full of yourself. But aren’t we all sometimes?

And regardless, beneath all of the self-absorbed layers you have a huge heart. You volunteer once a week, donate to charities whenever possible, and you have a deep love for animals.

You age up and instantly move to Del Sol Valley where you join the acting career. You soon meet a sim who is mega famous but their personality does not match up to what the public sees. You fall in love quickly and get married as a young adult.

Soon you have one child with them, but you find out that they are not all that they seem.

You catch them cheating on you with your rival in the industry. You know your worth and instantly end it, taking your child with you.

You start over from the beginning, building your career off of your own back as a single parent. But you are strong and you persevere.

Throughout all of this, you do find fame. But you also find real and true love with a sim not at all interested in the lime light who also has a child.

You live your days in a beautiful penthouse apartment and adore your perfect blended family.

GOALS:

- Have Self-Absorbed/Good traits

- Volunteer once a week

- Donate to charity once a week

- Always have three pets in household

- Get married as Y/A to an Romantic/Mean sim

- Have one child with that spouse

- Must catch your mega famous spouse cheating on you with a sim that is your enemy

- Find love with a non-famous sim who has a child

- End up in penthouse apartment (can cheat for money)

- Master Acting/Charisma Skills

- Complete Acting Career

- Complete Master Actor Aspiration

GEN NINE:

Sometimes the truth remains only in your heart.

You are the definition of a rainbow.

You are a bright shiny smile on a cloudy day and you LOVE color!

As a creative, you spend your spare time writing and daydreaming about new stories.

But you have a secret interest hidden inside of you.

You are absolutely obsessed with the paranormal. Your main goal in life is to prove the existence of every occult that has been whispered about for years, the stories only found in long forgotten pages of dusty books.

As a child growing up in opera houses, theatres, and movie sets with your parent, your interest was sparked by stories of long forgotten ghosts hiding in the shadows of the old buildings.

You want to prove to the world that these things are real because in your sunshiny heart, you feel that magic must exist.

And so you pack up and move to the town that nearly every sim strays from on long trips.

You move to Forgotten Hollow. But you will not succumb to the neighbors tastes in style. You build the most flamboyant home that there ever was.

You are an extremely paranoid sim, but does that mean that you’re wrong? You don’t think so.

You spend your entire life searching for any occult.

The most amazing part? You find every. Single. One.

You write a book of your encounter for each occult and befriend all of them.

You even end up marrying a rather handsome spellcaster!

Even though you have a peace inside of you now that you were always right, that your life was not for waste, the Sim world is not quite ready to believe your stories. They love your books! But assume they were fiction.

You’re okay with that. Because in your heart, you know the truth. And you now have a little piece of magic, too.

GOALS:

- Complete Bestselling Author Aspiration

- Complete Writing/Vampire Lore Skills

- Write a book on each of the following occults:

Vampires | Spellcasters | Mermaids | Ghosts | Aliens

(Must visually see proof of occult OR become good friends with one before writing each book)

- Live in Forgotten Hollow

- Always dress in vibrant colors

- Have a brilliantly bright home

- Marry a spellcaster

- Use voodoo dolls in spare time

- Complete Writing Career

- Have Paranoid/Creative Traits

GEN TEN:

I know that I’m strange. But magical was nothing I’d ever dreamt of.

From the moment you were born there was a certain magic about you. Everyone could feel it.

You felt different too.

But what did different mean? You know that your parents spent their entire life searching for answers to the paranormal. You know that they believe in it with their whole heart. But you’re still skeptical. Until one day when you follow the pages of their book, desperate for answers about yourself.

To your great surprise you happen upon a strange archway. A magical portal to another world. Carefully you step in, disbelief buried deep inside of you but hope overpowering it. Hope for answers.

You discover that your true self is a spellcaster. Not only that, but one of your parents is a spellcaster too. Your world is flipped upside down in an instant.

You begin to try and learn what this means. You study wizardry, you find a wand, a familiar, and a broom. You try your hardest to go back to your average life in the business tract but you can’t focus.

Magic is your entire life now.

But the world isn’t ready for magic. Sims are afraid of the unknown, and so you hide your secret life within the walls of your home.

You fall in love with a mortal and eventually find the courage to confide in them that you are a wizard. They didn’t even blink at this information. They too knew that there was something different about you. But oh so wonderful, too.

Eventually, they make the decision to become a wizard as well.

Together you live a beautiful life full of magic. Not just the kind with spells and potions, but that most special kind of magic. Love. Memories made between the two of you.

And as sappy as it is, you truly live happily ever after.

GOALS:

- Grow up not knowing your parent is a spellcaster. (ignore your sim being weird and magic-y, okay? we need imagination here)

- Always have Five close friends (people love to be near your energy)

- Complete Spell craft and Sorcery Aspiration & Purveyor of Potions Aspiration

- Complete all Spellcaster Perks

- Join the business career and quit after reaching level 5

- Turn a family pet into a Familiar

- Travel to the Magic Realm for the first time as a Young Adult, searching for answers

- Have Cheerful Trait

- Must be a whimsical dresser (You decide what whimsy is to you, that’s what makes it whimsical!)

- Fall in love with a mortal who eventually becomes a spellcaster

- Live in a Whimsical/Magical/Cooky Spellcaster Home (think hobbit holes, the burrow, what have you)

Huge credits and love to my wonderful friends Kara, Aubie, Percabeth, Gillian, and Mara who helped me refine and perfect this challenge. Thank you for adding magic and inspiration to my little passion project.

What to expect

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PAGE for the Legacy Stories Challenge made by: MissLollypop — The Storyteller and erinthesimmer — The Elaborator :)

Do you ever find yourself repeating the same steps as me? Create A Sim > Build a house > Have kids > Get bored. Yes? That's why I created this challenge! I have written realistic stories us to play out in the Sims. I also incorporated rules and aspirations that I feel the characters would want to achieve in relation to their story.

This challenge focuses on gameplay goals as well as skill based and career based goals, so a little bit for everyone!

NOTE: I WILL BE MAKING A SECOND VERSION THAT IS UNMODDED ONCE I HAVE 5 GENERATIONS WRITTEN

PSA

Want to change something? Go ahead! I didn't create this challenge in mind to restrict you, if you feel something else would suit a specific generation better, change it! I just hope you enjoy playing and get some ideas from the stories! Bare in mind some of these stories could be triggering for some people with sensitivity around Death, Trauma and Drugs. Everything that could potentially happen IRL, could also occur within these stories as personally I love to play as realistically as possible.

Checklist

Click here to get a link to a checklist, which you can make a copy of for yourself, to keep track of all the goals for each generation.

────────────────────────────────────────────

Rules

No money cheats (unless stated otherwise in the rules for story telling purposes)

No mods that make the game easier, we love a struggle here.

You may do anything outside the rules unless stated otherwise eg. If the generation requires to max a specific skill, you may still max other nonrelated skills.

You must complete the goals in each generation to fully complete it, however, if you would like the move onto the next generation as a toddler and come back to the previous generation after, that is also fine as long as you still complete everything.

Complete the goals in order for the story to make the most sense.

Any other children's traits can be selected, it's only the heir's traits that must be according to the rules.

There is a colour palette for each generation, this will be your sims favourite colours. Try to pick clothes/hair and decorate their home with this colour to correlate with each generation.

────────────────────────────────────────────

The Game Requirements

Many of the generations include multiple packs, therefore, it is recommended that you have all of them installed. If you don't have them you can always tweak the generations rules to change depending on which packs you own.

You must play with lifespan on Normal.

────────────────────────────────────────────

Mod Requirements For All Gens

These are the mods that will be required for ALL of the generations. There are also requirements per generation that you will need (these are shown in the generation breakdown) but aren't required for all generations.

The Generations

Generation 1 - "Criminal has mid-life crisis and becomes a super parent"

Story: Growing up you were unloved and uncared for, consistently abandoned by parents that never gave you a second thought. As a result, you have found yourself with unpredictable emotions and a complete disinterest in maintaining a relationship with your family. When you become a teenager you decide enough is enough and run away without a second thought, comforted to know as an only-child there aren’t any siblings being left behind. With no consistent parental figure in your life instilling the importance and the impact of having a well-rounded education in your later life, you never attend a single lesson again. Having always struggled to fit in and find your crowd in school, there was nobody to miss you and question your complete disappearance. Instead, you spend your time taking advantage of kind strangers who welcome you into their home by stealing their valuable possessions to later sell. Your next meal relies on what’s been thrown into the dumpster that day, and with any luck, what collectables you happen to come across with value to sell.

During this time in your life you happen to meet the local drug dealer that is happy to take you on and train you in the business, thus beginning your criminal career. You begin your young adult life as a new yet reputable dealer with your lack of morals helping you go far in your career. Over time you work your way up in your career, gaining the respect of your peers and your superiors. And yet you’re left feeling unsatisfied. Unhappy. Here you are making a reputable name for yourself, morally or immorally, and it doesn’t feel like enough. You’re now older, wiser… and ready for more for your life. More than the life of crime. As an adult you meet somebody that has you reconsidering everything. They encourage the best version of yourself and lead you to re-evaluate all your choices until this moment. For the first time in your life, you see the joy and love to be found within a family through somebody else’s eyes. Dreaming for the one thing you swore you never needed… a family of your own with the right partner by your side. With the full support of your partner, you walk away from the criminal career and settle into your newfound life. A life filled with the white picket fence and 2 and ½ kids fantasy come true. Parenthood brings forward the anxiety and fear of not being good enough to provide a stable environment for your children. And yet despite your terrible upbringing you dedicate the rest of your days being the best parent and role-model that you can be. Helping your children with their homework, reading them stories, toddler playdates. If they want it, you give it. In the end the life of crime wasn’t your true calling… It was to be an incredible parent. And within that role you have finally found your self-worth.

Generation 2 - E-Sports Geek makes a life changing decision

Story: You grew up a very happy child, your parents loved you and supported you with everything wanted to do. However, you were always a little different to your sibling/siblings, you were the shy and reserved one, you would much rather have spent time reading or doing your homework, than outside and never really had many friends growing up. But when you were a toddler, your parents introduced you to one of your next door neighbours' toddler and you fell in love, well as much as you can do at 3 years old... You continued to spend your childhood growing up with your best friend, keeping your crush on them a secret. You spent a lot of time gaming at home with your crush, who was very much like you, a little nerdy. Your mum/dad had lived a rough life and always warned you of the dangers going on outside when they were a criminal, so you chose to spend your free time, safe at home. However, they would still drag you to the park sometimes to try to encourage you to be 'normal'. Some might call you a little paranoid, but you would rather be paranoid and safe at home, than up to mischief like the rest of your siblings. You found this put a slight bump in your relationship with your parents though, as they were much more outgoing and thought you were a little strange to want to spend all your time inside. When you become a teenager, you finally open up to your crush about your feelings, well great thing is, they feel the same way back! You get your first girlfriend/boyfriend and end up making some friends at your local arcade, that you start up a club with. You finally come out of your shell a little and begin going to the geek convention, which you go to with your friends every time it's on in the City. When you were a little older, you set your goals on University to study Computer Science whilst also becoming an e-sports competitor, luckily your girlfriend/boyfriend is also coming to the same University as you. You go on to work as an e-sports gamer and excel at it. However, you're not very money driven and you do it for the passion. Everything was looking up in your life you get engaged to your girlfriend/boyfriend, when straight after they confess that they cheated on your with your friend. It is your choice from there, where your story goes. Will you stay with your partner and make it work? Or will you call it quits and continue your life without them?

Generation 4 - "Gay is the way"

Story: You grew up feeling very lonely with the family butler as your primary carer, with a workaholic parent who prioritized their career over everything and not knowing your other parent. However, after your acceptance into a prestigious private school you find yourself meeting like-minded individuals that you bond with and form a close-knit friend group. One night you find yourself sharing an unexpected kiss with a friend of the same-sex. That one kiss ruins a friendship that you truly valued, leading you to believe that it had all been a mistake.

You graduate high school and move onto university to study Biology in the hopes of getting away from your parent and becoming a marine biologist. As a young child the family butler would always read you bedtime stories about the sea and the animals that lived within. This ignited your love and passion for marine life.

After graduating you move to Sulani to pursue your life-long dream. One day at work, you unexpectedly meet a perfect stranger, also a conservationist, and bond over your love for the ocean. You fall in love with this perfect stranger, get married and have children. A family. This should be the dream… right? Except it isn’t. Something seems to be missing, a part of yourself long buried. Eventually you are hit with the realization that whilst you love your partner… you aren’t in love with them. Fear and guilt over what could be ruined but no longer willing to deny yourself the chance of true happiness, you come out to your spouse as gay. As terrifying as it is you cannot force yourself to stay in a marriage, happy or not. You and your spouse deserve more. You file for divorce.

Is the divorce mutual with understanding and love? Will you remain friends committed to your family unit?

No matter the outcome you go on and fall in love once more, for the first time in your life being completely honest with yourself in what you seek with a partner. You and your same-sex partner go on to adopt a child into your family and finally… your family is complete.

Generation 5 - "Parting is such sweet sorrow."

Story: From the very beginning of your life, you valued the importance of having a family. You believe that biological and found family are one and the same. You’re a true romantic at heart and an all-round cheerful person, it’s no surprise that you are often found curled up enjoying the latest romance novel that you could get your hands on. The romantic interests in the novels set the tone for what you expect from your own romantic prospects. No gesture is too great, and you often spend your time daydreaming about what romance high school could bring. The time comes for you to attend high school, it is within those very school walls you happen upon your person that you wish to spend the rest of your life with. The books had it right. The sappy, passionate and emotional turmoil that is teenage relationships. You fully invest yourself into that person and the relationship, and they in turn return the sentiment. Despite the warnings from your parents to not set your hopes up too high, you know that this is your soulmate.

With the end of high school comes adult life, and not wanting to waste any time your partner gets down on one knee and asks you to marry them. With a delighted “yes!” you know the rest of your life is about to begin. Not long after moving into your new home you and your partner discover that you are expecting a baby. What should’ve been the happiest and most joyful experience of your life turns into your worst nightmare. Just before the arrival of the baby, your partner unexpectedly dies. The fairy tales in your favourite romance novels never covered this soul-destroying experience. Feeling utterly alone and heartbroken with an infant to care for. Your dream family has been shattered. With a child utterly dependent on you for survival, you decide to pursue writing to support your family. Becoming a freelance author is all you could have ever dreamed of, and yet you find yourself struggling to put words onto paper without your partner by your side. How will you adapt to being a single parent and overcome the struggles that come with it? Will your novels become best sellers or utter failures? Will you ever move on from your lost love and marry again?

Generation 6 - "It’s a beautiful day to save lives."

Story: “Where there is love there is life.” All you have ever been told is that the very root of life is love itself. Without love, life will never hold any fulfilment or joy or peace. Being raised by a romance author should have you believing in these very desires. And yet the biggest lesson you have learned is that where there is love there is great sorrow. The loss of your independent sense of self. Love should be the greatest challenge that brings the greatest rewards and yet when you think of love, you picture your single parent. Their anguish over their lost love. To never again feel entirely whole. You couldn’t think of a worse fate than to fall in love. Growing up in the shadow of a deceased parent you never truly knew haunts your every step. To feel the absence of a person who never got to help you with your homework or give you dating advice, and to feel like you must step up for your parent and replace that empty space in their heart. You vow to yourself that you will never find yourself in that position. You will never fall in love. Having known just how short life can be, you intend to live your life in fulfilment of everything except love. After graduating university, you go on to become a successful doctor. Your career is very important to you, and you enjoy being able to care for the most vulnerable. However, a time consuming and high-ranking career cannot dampen your adventurous streak. One of your lifelong goals is to climb the highest mountain in Mt. Komorebi. As a non-committal sim you like to date around without exclusivity, generally with multiple sims at one time. One night you are attending yet another party and find yourself having unprotected woohoo with three different sims in one night, two of which are co-workers and another whom you met outside of your working environment.

Outside of work you’ve never truly cared about responsibilities and expectations, and the consequence of this lifestyle eventually catches up with you when you find yourself pregnant, with no knowledge to which of those three sims is the other parent to your child. You suddenly find yourself with a greater responsibility than you could have ever anticipated. After doing a paternity test to determine the parent to your child, you both must proceed on how to go forward. Does the other parent even want to become a parent themselves? Do they wish to be a part of their child’s life? And if so, what is the best route to take? Do you co-parent separately, or do you decide to give this family unit a chance and raise the child together? Is it worth it for your child to take a chance on love, despite having first-hand knowledge of what sadness it could bring? Or is the non-committal life what’s right for you through to the end?
