✧･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)

- 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 4 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.
