GENERATION ONE:

The Most Beautiful Thing we Can Experience.. is The Mysterious.

Ever since you we’re a little kid, you’ve always been the competitive type.. Nobody ever wanted to play with you because you’d always make it a big deal if you lost. Let’s be honest, you were a little bit of a sore loser, but after all that you’ve learned to lay back and relax for once..

You’re now a writer with a dream to have a big family.

You never had luck with relationships…

So you often try to avoid them.

You move to a new town. You were ready to give up your dream and live a single life alone in a quiet town, with normal friends and a normal job… Until..

You stumble across someone who catches your eye. They’re perfect. You two end up falling in love. This changed your whole outlook on life. You no longer wanted to spend your life alone, you now wanted this person to live it with you. There’s only one thing..

THEY’RE AN ALIEN!?

After finding out your lover’s secret. It only brought you closer to them. You knew there was something special about them. Even with their secret you find them just as perfect as before. The two of you are unstoppable.

You later find yourself with a large alien-hybrid family. The perfect family. Everything is looking up for you now.

GENERATION TWO:

Fashion and Style.. Makes my Clients Shout and Smile..

Your household as a child was always packed with loud kids, your parent’s conspiracy theories, and your own thoughts.. All at once!

You’d always try and escape to your room right after school to do your homework, play dress up, and decorate houses in ‘simsforever’.

Even though your childhood home was full of chaos, you loved every moment. Out of everyone in your household, you were the one with the best style! You always knew how to match different patterns, fabrics, and colors together..

It felt like it came naturally to you.

When you reached young adulthood you took style to a whole new level!

YOU BECAME A STYLE INFLUENCER.

There’s always new ideas clicking in your head, so you decided that THIS WAS YOUR PASSION! Not some boring school work, where the professors force assignments and tests on you! This way you didn’t need school to make money, you didn’t have to worry about your parents having to pay for your college because you found your calling!

GENERATION THREE:

In Nature.. Nothing is Perfect, but Everything is Perfect

Ever since you can remember, you’ve always been the black sheep of your family.. You were always alone. After school was the only time you socialized.. This was because you were in scouts and loved talking to the other kids about plants, hiking, and running away to live in the forest..

They never believed you’d actually do it..

But you did.

After one big argument with your sibling, you run away! Into the forest, there’s nothing but fresh air and trees surrounding you. You finally had peace and quiet, well… besides those darn crickets! It’s official..

YOU’RE A RUNAWAY TEEN, but this doesn’t scare you..

Being one with nature is your dream so being stranded in the middle of the woods doesn’t seem that bad. You come across a shop down in the little town buy yourself a little tent, and a cooler! You are set for survival.

GENERATION FOUR:

True Love.. Isn’t Always in the Form of Romance..

Growing up you admired your parents. They had something that you longed for, they had true love. Something that you thought you couldn’t find.

It’s not because you’re so boring no one wants to date you.. It’s the exact opposite, you’re a charismatic, video game loving, hopeless romantic.

You could never find someone to make you smile as big as your parents made one another. Maybe you’re being too harsh on them..

Or maybe romance just isn’t in the cards for you. You often spend your time on dating apps looking for the right one to settle down with..

One day while scrolling on Simder, you find someone that strikes your attention. You end up going on a date with them to a bar.. One thing leads to another and you two are now back at your place..

The next morning you wake up and something’s not feeling right.. You feel lightheaded.. You take a few tests…

YOU’RE PREGNANT!

What’re you going to do? Are you going to form a deeper connection with the parent of your child? Become a single parent? Co-Parent?

Will you even tell them that you’re pregnant!? The choice is yours.

Remember, true love isn’t in the form of romance. It can be the love a parent feels for their bundles of joy.

GENERATION FIVE:

If it’s Not Perfect it is Imperfect.. But Imperfect is Good Enough.

From the outside looking in, everyone thought your family was picture perfect. You and your siblings were popular at school and your parents were well known.

Yeah yeah everything looked perfect.. but it wasn’t.

Your house was always messy; with your parent’s tracking  paint through the house, your siblings throwing footballs, plus your pets leaving footprints all over your carpet! It was all so hectic..

Especially since you were the one that cleaned it all up. You didn’t mind though, you enjoy cleaning. You also enjoy cooking and baking.

It makes you the happiest.

Dating hasn’t been the easiest for you. Let’s be honest it hasn’t been the easiest for your whole family. Most of the people you dated in the past hate how neat you are, they loved calling you a neat-freak.

This was until you came across a sim who is your exact opposite.

You Marry a Slob Sim.

They balance you out and bring smiles to your face.. You grow old together and raise your children in a comfortably nice suburban style home in your corner of Brindleton Bay.

GENERATION SIX:

One Thing I’ll Say About Stardom.. It Gave Me Everything I Wanted.

You’ve always been inside. You rarely ever leave the house because of your parents! They don’t want you to get hurt or “fall into the wrong crowd”

They think that you’re still a baby. You’re not a kid anymore. You get to make your own decisions and nobody gets to tell you anything!

Little did your parents know you’ve been saving money from your secret babysitting job. One day, you just up and left, you ran away to a beautiful city by the name of Del Sol Valley!

Where all dreams come true!

You were finally free! You love your parents, but being inside that home at all times was torture. You felt so angry looking outside your bedroom window seeing other kids play, other parties go on down the street, and just overall fun!

Even though you couldn’t touch it..

You wanted it! You wanted to be out there, you wanted to be seen!

So now’s your chance! You started out with a few commercials, and singing at karaoke bars for fame. You later started getting gigs from actual performing arts corporations! Later down the line you climbed up to the top.

Love is So Hard.. That’s What Makes it Interesting..

Being the child of a A-lister celebrity is fun yes.. but it’s hard being in your parents shadow. Sometimes your parent would take you out on meet and greets with them and all the kids would hang out with you and tell you how much they loved you and your parents. You loved the attention, but the attention wasn’t for you and it wasn’t love..

It was just greedy fan-girls obsessing over your family but not for the right reasons. You just wanted love.. which is weird because you are the worst at flirting.. sometimes it even makes you frustrated.

When you were a child your parents took you to Sulani, a beautiful place with lots and lots of water. You loved swimming! When your parents use to take you, all you remember is looking out of your window and seeing these beautiful tails pop out of the water..

You believe they were mermaids but everyone else tells you that your delusional. So..

When you hit young adulthood you take a plane with a little bit of your parents fortune and head to Sulani, you want to prove to your family and everyone else who doubted you that these majestic creatures exist!

Even though your main goal is to find love.. Maybe these two can merge together?

GENERATION EIGHT:

I Guess.. Happily Ever Afters.. Do Exist.

Your siblings always mock you, they love to call you Ariel… you get it? Because you’re a mermaid hybrid..

Anyways, they make fun of you because you believe in happy endings and a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

They don’t think it’s realistic, but you know it can happen for you. You spend most of your time in the lab, running tests, and hypothesizing.

You’ve always been the odd one out in your family, you’re parents say your gifted but your siblings just say your lame. Who cares what they say anyway.. Your family has a history of getting caught up in their job, that’s sometimes a good thing..

but most times it’s a bad thing!

That’s not you though, you know how to handle both family and work. You’re actually really good at it! Scientist during the day, surrounded by family during the night! Until…

You suddenly realize that your spouse has been a little distant for the last few months… but why?

Well, you found out why.. Are you happy you found out? Yes and no..

You’re happy you found out that your spouse was cheating on you because, you’re still surrounded by family and you have let go of that dead weight!

Will you ever get married again? Probably not.. But you will always be with your beautiful family..

In the original version of The Little Mermaid, Ariel needed a Prince Eric.. but you don’t.. You have your family. At least some of your family..

GENERATION NINE:

You Only Live Once..

After your siblings death, you felt lost.

What were you supposed to do without them? They were your bestfriend.

Your teen years were nothing but parties, failing grades and multiple relationships. Ever since your sibling died it motivated you to do more with your time that you have.

You prove everyone wrong my maintaining the party life and your career.

You eventually find love, settle down and raise a family….. That was until..

Your spouse died too.

You were left taking care of your children on your own and making it work. Your children could tell you were struggling, but you still put on your best face.

I mean, you are a comedian after all. You started telling jokes once your sibling passed away. It helped you cope with the pain. Now that your spouse is dead.

Raising your children, trying to get to the top of your career and completing all your dreams in life has just become even more difficult.

GENERATION TEN:

Life is Like a Puzzle… and I’m Still Putting Mines Together.

Ever since you can remember you’ve always been able to do anything you put your mind to. You are extremely intelligent.

Even though you’re very smart.. You have no idea what to do in life..

What career path do you want to be on? How many kids do you want? Will you get married. You don’t even know what you enjoy doing most.

You like pretty much everything and it’s hard to make a decision.

So why not do it all?

You develop skills and knowledge for pretty much everything. You love all sorts of activities. One thing you’re still trying to navigate is your love life.

You have a soft spot for children and want to have some of your own someday. You just cannot find someone to give you your dream.

So you take matters into your own hands.

You look into an adoption agency. You end up adopting three children.

Not all at once of course..

You stumble across someone while you’re at one of your toddlers daycare.

This person already has a child, but that doesn’t bother you. You two end up blending your families and even another little addition.

Your dream has finally come true..

✿ The Home Sweet Home Legacy Challenge ✿

Info ✿

Use the tag #HSHLegacy so I can see your posts!!

If there are any rules that you don’t vibe with, just skip over them!

Some of the rules are centered around gameplay and some are more story-based!

You don’t have to complete aspirations or max out careers if you don’t want to, unless it’s otherwise specified in the generation’s rules!

Play with any lifespan you prefer.

Read one generation ahead to get all of the information you need!

Mods are allowed and encouraged; especially ones that make the game more realistic. I’ve linked a couple mods in some generations that can add to the gameplay! 

If you have the more traits in cas mod, pick whatever extra traits you think would fit your sim!

Rules for the generations under the cut ✿

GENERATION ONE ✿

You were raised in the city by strict parents who pushed you to be the best student in school. Despite your ambitious nature you hated the fact that you had no autonomy or free time. When you became a young adult you packed up your belongings, your pet and your limited funds and you moved to the countryside. Your cottage is rundown and outdated…it’s going to take a lot of work (and money) to make it a home. You quickly realize you might not actually be cut out for this life, but you are too stubborn and proud to give up and move back in with your parents.

Traits: Squeamish, Ambitious, High Maintenance

Aspiration: Country Caretaker OR Freelance Botanist

Career: Start with a part time job and/or odd jobs until your sim ages up into an adult, then settle into a full time job of your choice. To make additional money, you can also sell harvestables from your garden or your farm animals (if you want to go down that route!)

Starting Out: Start in Henford-on-Bagley with your pet in a small, rundown cottage with 2-3 bedrooms. You can use money cheats at this point, but remember: small rundown cottage…don’t use those extra funds for nice appliances!! When your house is done, set your funds to 450.

Rules: 

Your lot must have the ‘simple living’ lot trait

Reach level 5 in: Handiness, Cooking and Gardening

Meet and fall in love with an outdoorsy sim with a large tight knit family

Have 2 kids

Take a vacation for every sim’s birthday (if you can’t afford it, throw a birthday party on a public lot instead)

Renovate the cottage over time (get new appliances, wallpaper/flooring, etc.)

Optional Rules:

Play with the ‘off the grid’ lot trait

Max out Handiness, Cooking and/or Gardening

Make the sim’s parents and make them have a negative relationship 

GENERATION TWO ✿

You grew up in a small, quiet town. After hearing about your parent’s childhood in the city, you were inspired to give it a try. You say goodbye to your loving family and set out for San Myshuno. You find an apartment and a part time job, then you get a few roommates to help with the bills. When you are faced with an accidental pregnancy, your roommates rally in support.

Traits: Loyal, Creative, Slob

Aspiration: City Native OR Painter Extraordinaire

Career: Max out the Retail part time job before quitting and selling paintings full time

Have an accidental pregnancy after a one night stand (if your sim can’t become pregnant and the other sim can, move the baby into your household when they’re born!)

Raise your kid as a single parent (with the help of your roomies)

Once your child becomes a teen, move out into your own place (it could be in San Myshuno or another world)

Marry as an elder

Optional Rules: 

As an elder, marry the sim you had a one night stand with (that ultimately resulted in the birth of your child)

Become famous (because of your paintings)

GENERATION THREE ✿

Just as the expression goes, it took a village to raise you. You were a wild, rebellious child with a love for athletics. Even though you were surrounded by love as a kid (not just from your biological family, but from your parent’s roommates) you always wanted to have siblings. You end up marrying one of your childhood best friends and you settle down in a quiet neighborhood.

Career: Athletic 

Starting Out: Move into a house in a world of your choice with your partner.

Go through rough patches with your spouse due to your anger issues

Eventually decide to get a divorce after trying to make it work (or if you have RPO, you can opt for separation instead)

You and your ex-spouse must live on the same lot and continue to raise your kids together

Sleep in your workout shed in the backyard

Optional Rules:

Remarry your ex-spouse

Reach level 5 of the handiness skill

GENERATION FOUR ✿

Although you and your siblings were loved by your parents, the living situation after their divorce was not ideal. Because of that, you vowed to never get married. You head off to university immediately after graduation and start on your path toward success.

Never retire

Move at least three times

GENERATION FIVE ✿

Growing up, your parent was pretty distant and you never had a great relationship with them. They were always working, talking about work, or spending time with their significant others. One of your favorite memories of your childhood was your trip to Sulani. You and your sibling decide to move out together and live there permanently. It’s rough living in a new place with limited funds, but the two of you have some creative solutions.

Traits: Loyal, Bro, Kleptomaniac

Aspiration: Party Animal

Career: Criminal

Starting Out: Move into a small house in Sulani with your sibling.

Your sibling eventually moves out…and your partner moves in!

Have one child

Have a super tacky over the top wedding

Optional Rules:

 Max the mischief skill

(If you have this mod, you can pickpocket when your sim is younger! If you have Basemental you can also become a dealer to make money. If you have this mod, I recommend using the enemies to lovers interactions!)

And that’s all for now! I’m breaking this up into two parts, so the next five generations will be coming sometime (fairly) soon!

And so, it begins... a legacy style challenge

​And so, it begins… a legacy style challenge

For TS4 created by @accomplisheddoubt (me)

The official tag for this challenge is… #And so it begins LC

And so, it begins… is a legacy style challenge that will take your family from Base Game to High School Years over several generations. That said, high school years can and will be utilized prior to the final generation just as base game can and will be used after generation one. A few generations will have a sole pack it focuses on, while others may combine two or more packs. This legacy is meant to inspire, provide structure, and most importantly, be fun. If you don’t own a specific pack, or a specific generation doesn’t interest you, change it, make the challenge work for you.

Rules & General Information

This challenge is designed to utilize every stuff, game, and expansion pack for The Sims 4 with a few exceptions.

Each generation will have specific goals and a base storyline to follow, but the rest is up to you. I suggest having ‘wants’ on and going with the flow of the game. 

Aging can be set to normal, long, customized, or even short if you’d prefer the extra challenge.

If a generation doesn’t list all 3 traits (or you use the more traits in CAS mod) you may select traits you’d prefer or randomize them.

No money cheats! Money is easy enough to acquire.

Mods are allowed and encouraged to enhance gameplay.

Unless specifically stated in a generation, the amount of children each heir has is up to you. Though you could make things more interesting by rolling 1-6 to determine the amount. Same goes for who is the selected heir. 

Each generation will start with money obtained by their parents, the exact amount is up to you and how much savings the previous generation has accumulated.

Though Cats and Dogs is not fully explored until generation 5, pets are allowed prior.

If you enjoy having an assigned color per generation, you can roll 1-17 for a randomized color or simply assign a color of your choosing per generation. Please note 17 colors are listed in anticipation of add-on generations. 

Apricot, Black, Blue, Brown, Green, Grey, Hot Pink, Lavender, Lime, Mint, Navy, Orange, Pink, Purple, Red, White, Yellow

Remember, while this legacy is meant to help explore the game and provide a set of goals to do so, it is also meant to be fun. If something doesn’t fit your style of gameplay, or your particular interests, change it.

Generation 1

       Base Game + Outdoor Retreat

You were recruited into the S.I.M.S.  just out of high school, odd-right? You’ve been relocated to the quaint town of Willow Creek with instructions to blend in and keep your career a secret.  You were planning on taking a year off before finding a career so you could travel. Oh well, you’ll just find time to balance work and travel now. How hard could that be?

Your parents kept a collection of insects in the house, how gross! And family camping trips, ew. You would never do that to your children.

As a child you always wanted a pet (cat or dog depending on trait), but your parent claimed it would be too much of a commitment. You resented them for always putting their career and romantic endeavors above you. A pet would never do that. So as soon as you’re of age, you move away from the city and settle down in Brindleton Bay where you open your own vet clinic. And adopt a bunch of pets. You even open your house to strays. Animals are all you need, until you finally find a person who shares your passion and respect for animals that is.

Days of the Week Challenge

Feeling uninspired with your sims and looking for some strategic gameplay? Well I came up with this idea in the shower a few nights ago because being a daycare teacher has poisoned my mind with various songs to remember the days of the week! And now I present to you my first ever attempt at creating a sims challenge! (Go easy on me)

Welcome to the Days of the Week Challenge! A seven generation challenge where every sim is inspired by a different day of the week. 

Standard Rules: 

Absolutely no money cheats, build your sims from the ground up! 

Keep the lifespan on Normal. 

You must complete each heir’s aspiration, careers aren’t necessary unless stated otherwise.

If you miss something, just keep going! Have fun with it! 

Feel free to tweak this as you see fit (i.e. If there’s a trait or career you don’t have in your game, substitute for what best fits)

If you actually play this challenge, I wanna see your posts so please tag them with #dotwchallenge!
