i saw a post saying boom was good bc it feels like it could be done with any doctor/companion duo and honestly that was one of the things i felt was wrong with it
#in a show with a title character that could be Literally Anyone and a companion sharing the lead that could be Literally Anyone#i value the little moments that set this duo apart from the rest. ESPECIALLY when it comes to returning writers like rtd/moff#fifteen and ruby felt a little too eleven/twelve and clara adjacent in boom. in both their dialogue and characterization#space babies also landed a little weird at first bc it lifted a bit from end of the world BUT the scenes that fifteen and ruby#had to themselves. like ruby getting covered in snot and fifteen laughing. or fifteen and ruby looking after the Space Babies#or fifteen going out of his way to save the monster bc that monster is the only one of its kind Just Like Him Fr#that stuff is so good and its also something we haven't seen from another nuwho doctor. the vulnerable bleeding-heart empathy#and a dynamic w a companion that is basically 'two troublemakers that just deeply love fun and adventure and getting into trouble together'#oh yeah and also the devil's chord was peak fiction because it touches on fifteen's renewed connection and love for humanity#and marries it to ruby being a musician and how music like any art is the expression of the human soul etc etc#WHAT MAKES A DOCTOR WHO STORY GOOD TO ME IS PARTLY HOW THE PREMISE TIES INTO THE DOCTOR AND COMPANION'S CHARACTERS#IT HAS TO FEEL LIKE IT WAS TAILOR MADE TO THEM. ELSE IT WONT LAND RIGHT TO ME#i hate the take that they should've saved wild blue yonder for a fifteen episode bc#the tension is hinged on how well the doctor/companion know each other. u have a level of it that u can ONLY get#with fourteen and donna who are two halves of a whole soul but have also spent much more time missing the other than knowing them#im not rewatching fifteen's eps rn until a week later when i can watch it w my qpp but#rn i still feel a stronger sense of fifteen and ruby's characters from all the rtd-written eps rather moffat#which like. i get that a lot of that is my personal dislike of moffat's writing style but still#dr who#15 era#dw spoilers

Devin’s “Try It All” Legacy Challenge for The Sims 4
Hi there! This is a legacy challenge I created to do/see/complete everything The Sims 4 has to offer at least once. It incorporates all traits at least once, most aspirations and careers, and all skills and collections. I apologize if the transitions aren’t all that (I randomized the generations and strung them together the best that I could), but I think this is a really neat idea and wanted to share it. However, please don’t post this elsewhere without giving credit. I spent many hours putting this together. I hope you enjoy! I’d love any feedback you have! If you’d like to post about your journey, you can use the #Try It All Legacy Challenge
Rules:
Don’t cheat. It’s no fun if you cheat your way to victory. The aim of the game is to do and complete everything the game offers at least once. If you cheat, you can’t boast about completing such a feat.
Traits, Aspirations, and Careers are chosen for you. Unless specifically stated, you can decide which branch of the career you’d like to do.
All Aspirations, Skills, and Collections listed must be completed before you move on to the next generation. Failure to complete one of the listed requirements (unless due to some game mechanic or something outside of your control) results in the loss of the challenge.
Obviously each generation needs to have at least once child (If you don’t then the legacy can’t continue!). It’s up to you whether you adopt or birth the heirs, and how the heir is chosen unless specifically stated (i.e., the heir can be whoever you want, unless as in Gen 21 when the heir needs to be a vampire).
Berry Sims aren’t a required part of the challenge, but I’ve added in colors that I think pertain to each generation nicely if you’d like to incorporate that as well.
Since there are so many generations, you can also make it an Alphabetacy!
What to Do:
Create your founder with the given Aspiration, and Traits (and Berry color if you’d like to incorporate that into the game).
DON’T CREATE ANY CHILDREN OR SPOUSES.
Choose a large lot to grow your family on. There aren’t any restrictions on staying on the same lot, but I personally think it’s neat to see the lot change over the course of the challenge.
Play through the challenge!
The Generations:
1. Super Parent (Light Blue)

10. Public Enemy (Scarlet)
Your parent was too caught up in their partying to raise you well, so you raised yourself (quite unsuccessfully, you might add). You never truly learned to share, or not to take what isn’t yours. If we’re being honest, you’re the kind of Sim that just wants to watch the world burn. And if it does, then you’d probably just laugh! (*insert evil laugh here*)
Traits: Evil, Kleptomaniac, Insane
Job: Criminal
Have 5 enemies
Have a collection of stolen items
11. Computer Whiz (White)

Job: Pro Athlete
Master Fitness Skill
Master Wellness Skill
Adopt a cat or dog as part of a self-help kick
13. Friend of the Animals (Purple)
One of the best decisions your mother/father ever made (next to having you of course) was getting your 4-legged friend. The two of you were best friends since the day you were born, and because of the special bond you had, you’ve decided to open a vet clinic.
Traits: Cat or Dog Lover (Based on your choice in the last generation), Good, Bookworm
Job: Running a Vet Clinic
Master Pet Training Skill
Master Veterinarian Skill

Traits: Snob, Art Lover, Unflirty
Job: Art Critic
Complete Crystals, Elements, Fossils, Metals, and Microscope Prints collections
15. Painter Extraordinaire (Sky Blue)
Spending time in your museum of a house wasn’t very entertaining, but you made it work. All you had to do was break out a canvas and some paints and you were set for hours! Of course, not all of it was a waste. You did learn some very handy photography techniques to help you as an adult.
Traits: Creative, Art Lover, Snob
Job: Painter
Master Painting Skill
Master Photography Skill
Host Black and White Bash to showcase your art

Traits: Foodie, Genius, Vegetarian
Job: Master Chef
Master Cooking Skill
Master Baking Skill
Master Gourmet Cooking Skill
Throw a dinner party
18. Chief of Mischief (Crimson)
Instead of helping your parent in the kitchen or licking the spoon, you preferred to break it. Your parent gave up on changing your ways rather quickly, so you became the mean-spirited Sim you are now. Rather than being a silly chef, you want to change the world in a bad way: by being the best super villain!
Traits: Mean, Lazy, Childish
Job: Villain
Master Mischief Skill
Win 5 fights
19. Renaissance Sim (Orange)
Your parent’s evil ways have rubbed off on you, at least somewhat. Instead of being an evildoer, though, you just want to be a mad scientist! You use frogs as your test subjects (but not for things that would hurt them! You’re not that bad), and occasionally enjoy a game of bowling.
Traits: Squeamish, Geek, Materialistic
Job: Scientist
Master Bowling Skill
Master Logic Skill
Complete Frog Collection
Complete Space Prints Collection
Reach at least level 5 of 2 other skills, but never commit enough to master them
20. Serial Romantic (Hot Pink)
You’ve never been one for committing, a trait taught to you by your mother/father. However, instead of not committing to a career or hobby, you can’t seem to commit to a single Sim! You spend much of your life bouncing from one Sim to another to sometimes several at once!! It doesn’t even matter if they’re fully human or not, either! At least you’re successful in your career...
Traits: Noncommittal, Romantic, Hates Children
Job: Doctor
Have 3 significant others at once
Never marry
Have only 1 child (must be with a vampire!!!)
21. Master Vampire (Blood Red)
Your parent was always too busy fooling around to spend time with you, so you’re quite the loner. It doesn’t help that you’re a vampire and they also didn’t know how to raise you. You figured the whole “drinking blood instead of food” thing out on your own, though. Of course, being immortal is depressing, so you don’t talk to many people, and you’re sad pretty often.
Traits: Loner, Gloomy, Snob
Job: Management
Master Vampire Lore Skill
Become a Master Vampire
Marry a human
22. Joke Star (Navy Blue)
When you were younger, you were very much the goofball in school, and you quickly decided you wanted to make it your life’s goal to make every Sim laugh. You are determined to be the most famous comedian in the world!
Traits: Goofball, Outgoing, Cheerful
Job: Comedian
Master Comedy Skill
Master Charisma Skill
23. Bestselling Author (Sepia)
As a class assignment one day, you researched your family tree and discovered all of your wacky ancestors and their antics. Using this as your inspiration, you’ve decided to be an author and write an entire book series about your family.
Traits: Creative, Bookworm, Self-Assured
Job: Author
Write 23 books (one for each heir), and a final autobiography.
