Sims 4 Lepacy Challenge

This is a multigenerational challenge inspired by The Sims 3 Lepacy Challenge with a slight twist of a story line for those non creatives out there. Don't get me wrong, there is plenty of room for your own spins and storytelling if you enjoy that like me. 

You do not have to follow rule by rule, make the game fun for yourself. That’s the point- to explore stuff you haven’t and have fun with the game again. If you want a bigger twist you can play vanilla, well CAS anyway. I don’t think anyone can live without certain mods. 

Since packs are a little complicated to disable, you can play with them all installed, just don’t play with their aspects until it's unlocked through the generations. Objects and CAS items are free grabs though. Unless you want that extra challenge.

As far as Seasons and My Wedding Stories, I’m allowing those as a free for all to have throughout all generations as My Wedding Story doesn’t have much game play you can make an entire generation out of. As far as seasons, I just can’t live without but I wanted to combine its gameplay aspects with Cottage Living. 

Please enjoy this ongoing challenge I am writing as the packs release. Please tag me and let me know if you play this challenge with me.

Not So Berry Challenge 2.0

We’ve all heard of the Not So Berry Challenge created by @lilsimsie and @alwaysimming

Since completing this challenge not once, but TWICE- I’ve decided to create a 2.0 version that uses more of the gameplay that has been introduced in new packs since this challenge was created years ago.

Still ten generations based on different colors. In my own version, the traits, storyline, aspiration, and career for each generation are based on the meanings behind each color rather than the color itself.

Please keep in mind that I did not create this original challenge, but the challenge rules remain the same. The challenge rules have been copied and pasted from the original challenge which I will also post a link for. 

https://lilsimsie.tumblr.com/post/157671494755/not-so-berry-legacy-challenge

Basic Rules:

Each heir must represent the color of the generation (i.e. hair, makeup, clothing), but brightly colored skin is not necessary (these aren’t actually berry Sims, that’s the joke). Of course, this is optional but a big portion of the fun.

The colors of the spouses don’t matter as they aren’t part of the challenge. Unless otherwise stated you can do whatever you please with them.

Money cheats can be used, but not excessively. Suggestion: use freerealestate for your first home, but no cheats afterward.

You may live wherever you please unless something is specified in the rules of a generation.

Every generation is supposed to complete both the career and aspiration of the heir unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Keep the lifespan on normal.

Generation One: Mint

You’re an angler and an engineer that really loves the color mint. You’re career driven but still make time for afternoons spent fishing in the sunshine. You also happen to love luxury which is reflected in your style and home. You only want the best for your family!

Rules:

Master engineer career and complete angling ace aspiration

Master fishing and robotics skill

Complete fish collection

Own a home worth $75,000

You have absolutely no maternal instincts whatsoever but you still love your child with all your heart.
