animal crossing sims challenge!

i've spent years making an animal crossing world in my sims 4 game, and i'm finally ready to play it! so i made a legacy challenge, and thought i'd share it with others! want to check it out in action? i'm streaming it on my twitch channel and vods will be up on youtube after editing!

note: i started this in 2018 so it is based on new leaf and i will cry if you make me update all the buildings for new horizons, i probably wouldn't finish until the next animal crossing game comes out lol

SETUP

evict all townies, and refill homes with villagers and NPCs (need some? i have a bunch on my gallery! EA ID fuchsiarascal)

auto-age/stories OFF for non-played household

single room (plus bathroom) AC-inspired house to start, placed on 20x30 lot

normal lifespans

CAS: generation 1, normal villager (any gender)

museum to house collections (note, at time of writing, i'm still working on my functional museum so it's not on the gallery yet)

optional:

fill worlds (i.e. newcrest) with animal crossing buildings -- check out my gallery!

live-in-business mod (great for brewster running the roost, etc.)

download animal crossing custom content! i use a lot from talia's witchy sims cc (note: my gallery builds are all cc free! but i use these in my sims' personal houses a lot)

RULES

start with a single young adult sim with "normal" traits (see personalities below). move them into the AC starter lot, then zero out money.

each generation has a specific personality with their own aspirations and collections to focus on. each personality has one defining trait that they must have; choose one other from the list, and the third trait can be your choice or randomized. personalities do not have to be tied to gender!

a sim can have multiple children, but only one can be the heir (your choice regarding whom). the others must move out upon becoming young adults. "current generation" progresses when the heir becomes a young adult; parents can either stay and contribute to the household (collections, etc.) or move out -- up to you! if they move out, they can no longer contribute to collections, and they must be played occasionally to age up/die (or do this manually). because of this, you may want to keep them in the household -- good thing you can expand your house!

each personality/generation has a few careers to choose from. some fit multiple personalities, so you can choose -- but only one can have that career (i.e. if your Normal sim in generation 1 is a gardener, your Uchi sim in generation 6 has to be something else).

you can marry placed villagers, and you can bring your spouse's funds into the family (max 20,000 simoleons -- remember, we kicked all the rich townies out!)

house expansions are based on money, not generations. this does not include the lot value, but rather how much money your sim has in spending cash.

you can move lots twice: at the 3rd expansion to a 30x40 lot, and at the final expansion to a 60x60 lot.

COLLECTIONS

each generation has specific collections to complete; see the list below. obviously, only count the collections for DLC that you own. i tried to split them up evenly but also fit with what each personality would be interested in.

items collected in previous generations count as inheritance, but that generation's collections must be completed before they move out or die.

to "donate" something to the museum, edit the museum in build/buy to place the item, and then delete (do not sell!) that item from your sim's inventory. a bit clunky, but unless you want your sim to own the museum as a retail store and pay bills on it, this is the best way.

the goal of this challenge is to experience different personalities and ambitions in the lens of the sims while also completing the many collections the game has to offer. enjoy!

GENERATION 1: NORMAL

you are sweet and well-rounded, but mostly focused on establishing a solid foundation for your family -- friends, career, education, bonding.

career options: gardening, writing, or culinary arts goals: best friends with 8 villagers (excluding family); read 20 books aspiration: family collections: frogs, fossils, decorative eggs, village fair ribbons required trait: cheerful optional traits: creative, art lover, bookworm, foodie, animal enthusiast (or cat/dog lover), neat

GENERATION 2: CRANKY

your parent(s) instilled a strong sense of learning, but growing up with little made you want more. you value success over relationships.

career options: physician, business, scientist, politician goals: no more than 2 best friends (excluding family); reach top of chosen career aspiration: knowledge collections: microscope prints, space prints, aliens, batuu records, moonwood relics required trait: loner optional traits: gloomy, unflirty, genius, socially awkward, paranoid

GENERATION 3: SNOOTY

you learned from your parent(s) to be selective with relationships, but you are more social than them. you enjoy the finer things in life and society.

career options: home decorator, critic, style influencer goals: join 3 clubs; travel on 5 luxury vacations aspiration: fortune collections: metals, crystals, elements, snow globes required trait: snob optional traits: high maintenance, romantic, art lover, ambitious, materialistic, proper, animal enthusiast (or cat/dog lover)

GENERATION 4: PEPPY

growing up surrounded by your parent(s)' club friends, you want to be popular! your parents involved you in lots of activities-- and you want to do it all!

career options: pop star, actor, child star, spell caster goals: achieve "global superstar"; own a hot tub aspiration: popularity collections: postcards, feathers, seashells, magical artifacts required trait: outgoing optional traits: cheerful, romantic, music lover, dance machine, squeamish, insider

GENERATION 5: SMUG

your famous parents leave you with a sense of superiority -- it's up to you whether you earn it, or just ride on your parents' coattails. you like to flirt, but finding someone to settle down with will be a challenge.

career options: detective, secret agent goals: 10 romantic relationships, no marriage (but can hire a nanny) aspiration: love collections: fish, sugar skulls, city posters, message in a bottle required trait: self-absorbed optional traits: romantic, self-assured, art lover, ambitious, eratic, snob, insider, jealous, non-committal

GENERATION 6: UCHI

after watching your parent play with hearts your whole life, you're very protective and caring. you have close friends that you'd die for, but you keep your circle small. you tend towards physical activities to get your negativity out.

career options: gardening, crafter, astronaut goals: start a "club" of close friends; make lot eco-friendly aspiration: location collections: gardening, space rocks, magic beans, geodes, village fair ribbons required trait: loves outdoors optional traits: neat, family oriented, creative, cheerful, active, maker, freegan, hot headed

GENERATION 7: JOCK

your parent(s) showed you the mental importance of endorphins, and you took that and ran (literally). you work everything out through physical activity, and you love it!

career options: athletic career, lifeguard, adventurer goals: 5 "adventure" trips (jungle, ski resort, etc.); university -- party school! aspiration: athletic collections: holiday cracker plushies, artifacts, buried treasure, lightsaber parts required trait: active optional traits: adventurous, loves outdoors, bro, party animal

GENERATION 8: LAZY

your parent(s) forced you to do sports as a kid, and you hated it. you'd rather sit around playing video games and reading comics! you've inherited a lot of wealth and a big house; why work hard when you could enjoy it?

career options: tech guru, barista, culinary arts goals: have a butler/maid; taste all city/festival foods aspiration: foodie collections: mysims, insects, experimental food photos, voidcritters, simmies required trait: lazy optional traits: goofball, foodie, geek, animal enthusiast (or cat/dog lover), childish, clumsy, glutton, slob

HOUSE EXPANSIONS

editor note: i'm still working the numbers out; i pretty much build, not play, in the sims, so i have no idea what's realistic lol. feel free to adjust to what you think is reasonable if these are way off! (and feel free to leave me comments about this, i'm all ears!)

50k -- separate bedroom 100k -- 2 additional rooms 250k -- +1 bathroom, 1 addition (porch, greenhouse, shed, etc.); can move to bigger lot (30x40) 500k -- attic room 750k -- +2 rooms in attic 1mil -- basement, +1 bathroom 1.2mil -- +2 rooms in basement 1.5mil -- 1 addition; can move to 60x60 lot

hello hello!

it is i, fuchsia, formerly known as @girlsguidetopowertools���. the old url has been saved to house all my animal crossing guides, which i plan on writing a LOT of for new horizons! so you can still go to that URL and find me/information on the ac series. as for this blog, it will remain as it is, continuing to be focused on animal crossing and my other video game/stream content (but mostly animal crossing).

as a lot of you know, i stream on twitch, upload to youtube, and post content on twitter, all under the name fuchsiarascal. while i love my url from an obscure animal crossing reference, i wanted something that’s more easily seen as me. branding is important when it comes to content creation, and i never thought, when i started my blog almost six years ago, that i’d be doing what i do now and need to think about branding, but here we are.

that being said, i’m looking for more animal crossing blogs to follow! i’m still on tumblr daily, and i still play animal crossing all the freaking time, but my dash is kinda dead aside from like three people. i know things will pick up with new horizons’ release, but i’d like to see lots of content before then too! even if i already follow you, feel free to recommend other active ac blogs that you enjoy!

[girlsguidetopowertools]

so, i’ve been struggling with the identity of this blog. this blog has always been 100% animal crossing focused, minus the random personal post. i’ve always done the sideblog thing for the other games i was into. but recently, i’ve been posting more non-animal crossing stuff here. especially with my current ACNL project in the sims and focusing on my stream. my stream was supposed to be animal crossing focused (and is! just in... odd ways), so i didn’t mind updating people about stream stuff here, but now it’s definitely more non-ac updates than not.

so. i have a lot of followers here, almost all of whom followed for my animal crossing content, and i don’t want to annoy/piss off the majority of you. i know the people who interact with my current posts don’t care, but i don’t want to lose the lurkers or hibernators. would you mind if this became a “general” gaming/streaming blog? (general meaning the few games i play; i don’t play many anyway, and they’re mostly along the same lines of animal crossing. mostly the sims.) keep in mind that i will be playing and posting more animal crossing content when the new game comes out, and it will undoubtedly be the majority of my content here and on twitch (and youtube??) as well. i’m mostly talking about the interim, and keeping that content (although probably at a much lower ratio) after AC switch is released.

i used to do sideblogs but honestly, they’re a lot to keep track of (and to direct people to), and this would just be easier for me as a content creator. but if there’s severe opposition to the idea, i’ll try to be more strict about my posts.

you can reply here, or vote here if you want to be anonymous.

I FORGOT AN OPTION! if you want it all animal crossing only, but including my ACNL Sims content, please let me know that as well! please follow the link now to vote in the new poll!

today in stream, i “painted” along to a bob ross episode, and a bunch of community members joined alongside me. it was a TON of fun, and i love seeing the variety of everyone’s pieces. we’re definitely going to do it again! i didn’t figure out the “technique” until like 3/4 of the way through so it’ll be interesting to see how we improve as we make this a regular thing.

hi, i’m fuchsia, and i’m a content creator who loves creativity, cats, and caffeine. i’m most known for and prolific with animal crossing, as i’ve been streaming it regularly for a few years on twitch and started this (mostly animal crossing focused) blog back in 2014, but i also love to make content about other chill and cozy video games. i also keep a blog about witchcraft and all my content is inspired by positivity, inclusivity, and mental health. my pronouns are she/her.

this month, i’m fundraising for two causes! with my stream team, we’re raising money for the trevor project, which helps LGBTQ+ youth in crisis. they operate suicide hotlines and have a ton of other mental health resources specifically tailored to LGBTQ+ youth, who face significantly more mental health crises than their straight peers.

in addition, we’re also raising money for black lives matter! all of my bit revenue at the end of the month will be going to this very important cause. keep in mind that you have to cheer in my stream chat for this one. the top bit donor at the end of the month will receive a rare amiibo card binder and over 80 amiibo cards inside it!

unlocked terraforming today, and went hard on making a runway for tomorrow’s fashion show during stream. even made a cute little dressing room behind it (some people like to change their hair for their fashion show outfits)!

fashion show theme is beach outfits to celebrate the summer update, and will be hosted on my twitch channel tomorrow! twitch.tv/fuchsiarascal

i will again be fundraising for pride month this year! join us in june as we raise money for the trevor project all month long. the trevor project is a suicide prevention and crisis hotline that provides help and resources to LGBTQ+ youth in need. let's celebrate pride and help those who need it!

i have a few things planned, but to kick things off: we'll be holding a bit war all month, and ALL my bit revenue will be going to the trevor project black lives matter at the end of the month. (twitch will have special pride emotes unlocked through cheering, proceeds of which go to the trevor project too! so it’s wins all around for the cause.)
