💗 Not So Berry: Base Game Edition – Generation 7 (Pink) 💗

Time to dive into the next chapter of my 100-Gen Legacy! Still playing through Gen 9-10, but I wanted to share my 7th Generation story featuring Selma Villareal!

💗 Pink Generation Rules:

Complete Postcard Collection: This was surprisingly fun! I loved using the pen pal system for the first time. 📨

Master Writing & Gardening Skills: Writing? Easy with Selma’s focused traits! Gardening? A bit more work but worth it for the aesthetic. 🌱

Quit Day Job: Selma left her business career to write full-time—definitely felt like a Sims version of a mid-life crisis! 😂

💗 Traits & Personality: Neat, Loner, Creative — Selma was a perfectionist with a love for solitude. Her passion for writing made her a bestselling author, but her reserved nature often kept her distant from emotional ties.

🌿 Garden Goals & Creative Pursuits: Completing the well-maintained garden rule felt so rewarding this generation! I even decorated the garden with some sculptures, which added so much charm. Writing skill was a breeze since Selma’s aspiration was Best-Selling Author, but balancing gardening took some dedication. 📚🌷

This was also the first time I tried the "Water Plants with Your Tears" interaction—who knew that was even a thing? 😂 It added such a fun (and slightly dramatic) touch to Selma’s gardening sessions, especially during her more emotional moments.

📖 Why Selma? I chose Selma as my next heir over her twin Ctibor because of her fierce independence, creativity, and ambition. Plus, she fit the Pink Gen vibes perfectly—balancing personal growth with complex relationships.

💔 A Story of Love & Distance: Selma’s life was deeply shaped by her relationship with Jarolím Locke. They first connected in their teens after a spontaneous one-night stand, leading to an on-and-off relationship. Though they never married or lived together, they welcomed their daughter Svatoslava.

Years later, Jarolím married Isidora and had two more children. Even then, his connection with Selma remained complicated. After Isidora’s tragic death, Jarolím finally proposed to Selma—but accepting came with a huge cost.

💔 Difficult Decisions: Upon moving into Jarolím's home, the same house he once shared with Isidora, Selma made the heartbreaking choice to leave Svatoslava (Selma's daughter with Jarolím) behind with her mother, Bernadeta. Watching Selma struggle with balancing personal dreams, love, and motherhood added such a bittersweet layer to this generation’s storytelling.

📸 More Screenshots Coming Soon! Have you played through the Pink generation? Let me know how your Sims handled balancing creativity, family, and personal growth! 💗
