Zodiac Legacy Challenge

Welcome to the Zodiac Legacy Challenge for The Sims 4. This challenge was created entirely by me, @liisims, with the help of information from the internet and inspiration from the people around me. The challenge is based on the 12 zodiac signs, with each generation representing one zodiac sign.

Rules:

- Play with a normal lifespan.

- While I don’t recommend using money cheats, it’s up to you.

- The heir can be any gender (for simplicity, a female heir is used as an example).

- Complete the aspiration, max out the career, and achieve the max level in all listed skills unless instructed otherwise.

- Utilize the specified traits; their order doesn’t matter.

- The suggested number of children is a guideline, reflecting my vision for each generation. It’s not obligatory; feel free to interpret it as you wish.

- If you share anything related to the challenge (screenshots, gameplay, etc.) on Tumblr, use the hashtag #zodiacliisims , and tag me @liisims.

I recommend reading at least one generation ahead before starting the challenge. For instance, if you’re currently on generation 1, make sure to familiarize yourself with the rules and description for both generation 1 and 2. This is particularly helpful as it often provides insights into how the generations grow up. Ofcourse, how you play is entirely up to you!

My love for challenges started by watching Clare Siobhan play the amazing not so berry challenge from @lilsimsie and @alwaysimming . When I looked more into other challenges I realized I wanted to create my own, and well here I am now! Sharing my first challenge. Before creating this challenge I made sure to look at no other zodiac inspired challenge as I wanted it to be 100% my own. Disclaimer: this is based on some things from the internet and people I know irl. Take it with a grain of salt! Enjoy!

Generation One: Aries

You’re a career driven overachiever. You love fitness, like LOVE. You can barely go a day without some physical activity. Your love life is a mess, you go from partner to partner and rush into things way too quick. People either really like you or they really don’t, it’s probably cause of your strong personality.

Traits: Self-Assured, Outgoing, Active

Aspiration: Super Parent

Career: Law (Branch of your choice)

Skills: Research and Debate, Fitness, Parenting

Children: 3 (Each child with a different partner)

Generation Two: Taurus

You’re a stubborn homebody. You prefer staying in for the night rather than going out. Growing up your mom always took very well care of you. However, you were just really stubborn and did not listen very often. You do really love your friends and family, as keeping good relationships with them is very important to you.

Traits: Loyal, Erratic, Goofball

Aspiration: Neighborhood Confidante

Career: Freelancer (Branch of your choice)

Traits: Outgoing, High Maintenance, Perfectionist

Aspiration: Freelance Botanist

Career: Gardener (Branch of your choice)

Skills: Gardening, Logic or Flower Arranging (This depends on which branch you choose in the career.)

Aspiration: Villainous Valentine

Career: Critic (Branch of your choice)

Skills: Writing, Charisma

Children: 4

Generation Six: Virgo

[kismets-barista]

And he'd clutched the egg tightly, the trolling's bloodshot eyes going wide with panic as he let out a shout riddled with pain.

"NO! No, Grandma. I gotta take care of him. Mama said so. Mama told me to take care of him."

Grandma Rosiepuff reached out for the egg, huffing softly as she couldn't stop JD from shoving it into his own hair. The poor boy shaking from adrenaline that coursed through him like rough waters over a fall.

"John Dory, you need to give him to me, honey. I need to make sure he's okay."

And something snapped inside of John Dory that day. Protection over the unhatched trolling, growing stronger and stronger as if he was a fire splashed with gasoline.

"NO, Grandma. He's mine now. I have to take care of him. No one else."

And that day was the first time JD would know the color grey in his life.

You ever just have emotional playlists. Anyways don't perceive me or this it's for a thing I'm gonna write later perhaps.

But since I'm down here. Massive headcanon of mine is that JD took on the parenting for Branch and his brothers, especially after the passing of his parents. (Unless this is stated canonically elsewhere, in my JD lore they were taken by the Bergens, on a picnic with only JD and the egg. His glove is from his mother, the goggles a gift from his father he grew into.) He began blooming into a perfectionist, trying to give his brothers the best life he could whilst pushing himself aside. Hashtag oldest sibling problems.

Anyways, I appreciate you if you read this far! Ty and if y'all want more of this there is PLENTY. Enjoy your day/afternoon/night! 💜🌟🫧

FRAGMENTS OF FEAR — PROLOGUE

WARNINGS: not really any except for alcohol consumption

NOTES: sooo i’ve decided to rewrite the ao3 fic (fragments of fear) i was working on because i felt like the current draft i was writing could’ve been better and i’m a perfectionist sooo i am trying something different here! let’s see how writing this on tumblr goes. i’ll make a custom hashtag for this work on here that way the chapters are more easily accessible. in the future i’ll make a new work on ao3 and post the rewritten chapters there too. i’ll have to think about it.

while obviously this version is going to be a rewritten version therefore tweaked and all that, i’m still going with the idea of having everything set in the 80s. i already plan on writing a sequel to this shit and i’ll try to make the whole 80s au thing more obvious there. for now, i’ll try to make it work 💀 i just think an 80s abigail au would be interesting, at least for this fic.

SUMMARY: it’s been five years since frank’s last seen sylvie, yet somehow he can’t bring himself to stop thinking about her. how can some random woman he arrested affect him this much?

turns out, he’ll be crossing paths with her again.

WORD COUNT: 1,497 (i have a headache okay)

Tonight was just another night — another night of bad decisions for Adam. There were plenty of seedy dive bars to get wasted in, and of course, he had planned to take full advantage of that. Anything to drown out his thoughts, right?

Unfortunately for him, even the strongest liquors couldn’t keep his brain quiet. With every shot of whiskey he did, he was still thinking about her — that damn fucking brunette. Adam could still picture her big, brown eyes that always stared at him with that look of defiance that was simultaneously infuriating, yet… encouraging. He had loved visiting her jail cell just to tease her and get her all riled up. She never hesitated to snap back at him with that feisty, snarky attitude of hers. It pissed Adam off, dealing with someone with such a stubborn attitude who refused to back down to him. He was a man who thrived on power. He craved having a sense of control over somebody, and that girl refused to give it to him, that sense of control.

As much as it bothered Adam, it also… intrigued him. Plus, he thought she was even more attractive than she already was when she was pissed off. Right from the minute he met her, he knew he was going to be giving her a hard time.

A few months later, she was able to go home, and… strangely enough, Adam felt a tinge of disappointment. The fun was over.

Five years later, he wasn’t a detective anymore, now a criminal. Five years later, he was a deadbeat father who had abandoned his now ex-wife and his son, sitting all alone in his pathetic apartment and drinking. Five years later, he was driving himself insane over some woman he’d most likely never see again.

What was her name again, anyway? Sylvia? Yeah, Sylvia… or, as he liked to call her, “Sylvie.”

After a period of time, Adam managed to return to his apartment, but with an excruciating headache from clearly drinking too much. He felt lightheaded and had a tinge of nausea. It didn’t help that he hadn’t really eaten anything at all today. Alcohol and an empty stomach — a very poor combination, Adam.

He stumbled into his apartment drunkenly grumbling and swearing, and eventually managed to take a seat on the couch. His surroundings were blurry, even despite wearing his glasses.

Adam’s apartment was quiet and lonely. Once upon a time, he had a family. He had a wife, he had a son. Now, he was alone again, and he had brought it upon himself. He had decided that being a family man wasn’t the life he wanted. Another bad decision, Adam.

He could only hear the sound of the clock on the wall ticking, and it only served as another bitter reminder of the fact he was alone, leaving him to struggle with his thoughts by himself. Sylvie ended up in his mind again, and it was only making him increasingly agitated.

“Fuckin’ damn it…” Adam grumbled, massaging his temples in an attempt to try and relieve his headache. He didn’t even really give a fuck about Sylvie, so why was she stuck in his mind? He couldn’t recall the last time somebody had gotten under his skin like this, really under his skin.

There was a knock on the door, causing Adam to flinch. He was tempted to get up and answer it, see what the fuck it was about, but he couldn’t do it in the drunken state he was in. He simply just remained seated until the knocking ceased, and that was when he decided to get up and investigate. Maybe it was mail. That was usually the only reason why he’d get somebody knocking on his door.

Sighing, Adam forced himself to stand and staggered over to the door, desperately trying to keep his balance as he reached for the doorknob, his unsteady hand trembling just a little. Then, he turned it, carefully opening the door.

Sure enough, there was a plain white envelope waiting for him in his mailbox. “The fuck…?” He murmured, snatching the envelope. Quickly, he closed the door and headed back inside, placing the envelope on the kitchen counter. Sure enough, it was addressed to an “Adam Barrett” — him. When he saw the address information of the sender, his eyes slightly widened. Lambert?

Adam tore open the envelope, revealing a piece of paper inside. There was no “dear, [NAME]” or any other formalities, just a simple, to-the-point message. He tried to focus his gaze on the letters, trying his best to decipher what had been written.

“Adam — I’ve included a list of five addresses. I need you to deliver a message to each of these addresses by mail. Tell them that they’ve got a bit of a job offer for them — kidnap the daughter of an incredibly wealthy man, and they’ll all be rightfully rewarded. If they accept, I’ll call them individually. — Lambert.”

Adam narrowed his eyes. God, he hated being told what to do, but he knew damn well that Lambert wasn’t a man who was meant to be crossed. He also knew Lambert well enough to know that if he needed something, it was urgent.

“I’ll do this shit tomorrow…” He muttered, and he tossed the piece of paper aside. Right now, he didn’t feel like fucking doing anything. However, as frustrated as he was right now, he’d undeniably do anything with the incentive of money.

“Why didn’t anyone say we were kidnapping a kid?” A dark-haired woman muttered as the group headed inside the mansion in front of them. A taller, more muscular man was carrying the kid in question over his shoulder.

Adam turned around to shoot the woman a sharp, cold glare. “It doesn’t fuckin’ matter. It’s a kid. Fuckin’ deal with it.” He snapped, before turning back around. “Alright, get the fuck inside.”

Once everyone was inside and the doors were closed, they all looked around, gawking at the place. The guy who had been in charge of driving the group to this place seemed especially impressed, a smug smile tugging at his lips. “Damn!”

“Like it, huh?”

Everybody turned around, and sure enough… Lambert was standing there, a smirk on his face.

“Find a room and get the girl situated. Set up a lookout position. Meet back here in five. For those of you who don’t know, I go by Lambert. You all came highly recommended, and so far, those recommendations are paying off.”

Lambert’s eyes surveyed the group, and as they started to disperse, he narrowed his eyes. Something wasn’t… right. He could’ve sworn there was supposed to be another person amongst the group. If he had forgotten to mention her, he remembered now. He’d wait until the group had returned.

Once they did, Lambert continued to speak. He gave the group members new names: Joey, Sammy, Peter, Dean, and Rickles. As for Adam, he was now “Frank.”

“The only one to be allowed in the room with the girl is her,” Lambert gestured to Joey, “so the rest of you… make yourselves comfortable. Any questions?”

“Who’s the girl?” Joey questioned.

“You don’t need to know her name,” Lambert responded.

“I don’t care about her name. Whose kid is she?”

Frank rolled his eyes. “The fuck’s that matter to you?”

“A very wealthy man who’s about to be $50 million poorer,” Lambert answered matter-of-factly. His eyes then darted between Frank and Dean. “Frank, Dean. Come over here.”

Frank rolled his eyes as he followed Dean over to Lambert. “The fuck is it now?” He asked, his eyes narrowing in annoyance.

“We’re missing somebody.”

“What the hell do you mean by that?” Frank questioned, his tone one of confusion. “You gave me five addresses. I brought five people.”

“There’s one address I forgot to write down. 7871 Lantern Drive. You know where that is?”

At the mention of that address, Frank felt as though the wind had been knocked out of his chest. Wait a second… it couldn’t be the same person, right?

“Yes, I do.” He responded, attempting to keep his voice steady.

“Good. Track her down and bring her here. Don’t hesitate to use the tranquilizer if you have to. She’ll be referred to by ‘Ava’ while she’s here.”

Before Frank and Dean could say anything, Lambert turned around and began to head for the doors. He gave the group a final look before speaking one last time.

“There’s clean bedding and lit fires in the rooms. Kitchen’s fully stocked, so is the bar. See you in 24 hours, my lovely pack of rats.”

And just like that, Lambert was gone. Frank exchanged an annoyed glance with Dean.

“Jesus Christ…” He muttered, before leading Dean out the entrance.

“Where are you both going?” Sammy called out.

“Don’t fuckin’ worry about it.” Frank curtly responded. “We should be back in a few. All of you, behave.”

NCT Legacy Challenge [ver 2] | part two

Inspired by lilsimsie and alwaysimming's not-so-berry challenge and sims-himbo's Barbie Legacy Challenge, I give you the K-pop collaboration idea that comes from combining the large numbered group NCT and our beloved Sims 4 Legacy gameplay.

Make sure to use the hashtag #NCTLegacyChallenge, so I can catch a glimpse of what you're making on various social media platforms and in the gallery.

For easier access, here is the link for the Google Docs of the challenge

You can access the FIRST part here

Here are some of the basic rules of the challenge:

Play on a short lifespan this is to make sure that we get through all 25 generations of this let’s play.

But if you want to play on a normal life span please refer to the normal life span rules [to be updated!]

This legacy is patriarchal, meaning only male sims can be the heirs of this let’s play.

The firstborn son would be the recognized heir.

All skills and careers should reach level 7

Unless stated otherwise 

All aspirations must finish the third level

Unless stated otherwise.

All generations should start with 2,500 Simoleons

Unless they are set to inherit the previous sim’s wealth.

Auto aging should be on even for townies.

You may opt to, but are not required to:

Edit your sims to look like the NCT members

Edit their names to be the same as the generation

Live in different lots per generation (if moving is not a requirement)

Follow with a mid-life crisis situation and change paths as long as you've reached level 7 of your career.

ISFP | Taurus

The beach life, mystical parent, and an overly active father– like a cooking pot for the birth of an introvert like him. Growing up in a town that was so close knit it was impossible not to walk through town without getting stopped. Exhausting conversations seem to outweigh the gorgeous scenery that your father has always adored. Now maybe all you want is the silence of your own apartment in a town where people don’t really mind never seeing you–

traits: loner, geek, genius

aspiration: computer whiz

career: tech guru -- start up entrepreneur

skills to lvl 7: video gaming, programming

additional requirements:

Move to San Myshuno as a young adult

Attend all festivals in town

Whoever invites you to the romance festival is your spouse (+ get married on the spot)

Collect 50% of the posters in the area.

ENFP | Gemini

The city life was just as exciting as you can imagine. The festivals and people light up your soul. This was exactly the life you want moving forward. People knew who you were and it was hard to deny your presence in this part of the town. It was as if even before you graduated high school people knew you were bound to represent everyone in the city.

traits: self-assured, squeamish, insider

aspiration: friend of the world

career: politics -- politician branch

skills to lvl 7: charisma, research & debate

additional requirements:

Remain in San Myshuno

Proper trait only comes once you turn in a young adult

Finished the admired icon teen aspiration

ISFJ | Leo

A powerful father seems to have been your personality when you were in school. In a similar manner, but unlike your father, you were a little more– academically excellent. You weren’t naturally smart, more of a hard worker. Whatever it is, it has helped you land that job in the medical field– just a step closer to the surgeon dream you always wanted.

traits: overachiever, perfectionist, erratic

aspiration: friend of the animals

career: doctor

skills to lvl 7: photography, fitness

additional requirements:

Have three cats

Luna

Lucy

Luke

Showcase your cats to simstagram pets once a day

Visit the gym once a week

Spouse must be a gym trainer

Turn them into a professional athlete later

INTJ | Libra

To say that you were spoiled growing up would not be a lie. Your parents were a doctor and professional athletes, it was as if hard work and competitiveness ran through your blood like it was natural. Maybe it was natural. Your desire to work hard and competition seems to have led you to one speedy sport– equestrian! 

traits: loves outdoors, adventurous, horse lover

aspiration: championship rider

career: part-time -- influencer

skills to lvl 7: riding, violin

additional requirements:

Move to Chesnut Ridge as a young adult

Previous generation’s wealth is inherited

Own a horse {either adopt or CAS] and max out the friendship

Own at least 2 small goats, a llama, a cow, and at least 2 chickens

Get gold for the Ranch Animal Day event.

ESTP | Sagittarius

 Your father’s racing career seems to have always been the center of conversations at your dinner table. Somehow, this has escalated to your complete absorption into your father’s competitive spirit. It didn’t really come as a surprise that you wanted to be a professional athlete– and after trying nearly every sport under the sun during high school, you settled down to the one you seemed to like the most– basketball

traits: active, insider, ambitious

aspiration: extreme sports enthusiast

career: athlete -- professional athlete

Previous generation’s wealth is inherited

Must have a complete basketball court in your background

Must have your own home gym

Visit the hospital for every sickness that you are feeling.

Create a basketball club and earn 2000 club points

INFP | Aquarius

People around you wonder how your father gave birth to such a shy son. As much as you adored the spotlight that unconsciously came with your father’s fame you seemed to like being all alone with the stars and the sky– wait! This sounds a little too familiar, doesn’t it? But unlike your ancestor, you were a little too scared to actually fly in a rocket.

traits: good, loyal, socially awkward (alt. romantically reserved)

aspiration: the curator

career: scientist

skills to lvl 7: gardening, handiness

additional requirements:

Complete the elements collection

Create a ‘den’ that’s only for your collection and private get away.

Be good friends with at least two of your co-workers

Create weekend hangouts with the two of them

One of them will be your spouse.

INTJ | Taurus

A shy father gives birth to a shy son—not really. Maybe because he had always been so comfortable in silence you were often in charge of leading conversations in the house. This led to you becoming a talented realtor and now the owner of a complex you were renting out. Your social personality and natural leadership traits made you the perfect owner—or that was your goal.

traits: overachiever, loves the outdoors, ambitious

aspiration: five star property owner

career: part-time -- manual labor

Build a complex where at least four other families can live (+ you must live in the same complex)

MUST live in Tomarani

Must ONLY have five TOTAL revolts from tenants

Your spouse must be a tenant.

ISFP | Cancer

People said the way your parents met was the epitome of romance or a rom-com plot. It was hard not to be so filled with love growing up, from your parents to your neighborhood, that proved to you that you indeed need a village to raise a child. Your love is bursting from within and you can’t help but share this love.

traits: lovebug, childish, child of the village

aspiration: serial romantic

career: romance counselor -- matchmaker

skills to lvl 7: romance, piano

additional requirements:

Must live in Ciudad Enamorada

Must meet spouse through Cupid’s Corner.

Must earn three gold dates

Spouse and your relationship should be steamy

Must have at least three children

ESFJ | Aries

You have been a performer since the day you were born. If you could be an idol in this game you would have, but that isn’t the case. Instead, you’re in the entertainment career at the center of the spotlight—where you belong! But there was just something more, you dream of perfect tranquility and balance and maybe the stage isn’t the only place for you to shine.

traits: dance machine, practice makes perfect, loyal

aspiration: zen guru

career: entertainer -- musician branch

skills to lvl 7: dancing, wellness

additional requirements:

Stream yourself playing the guitar until you reach notable newcomer.

Complete the Zen Guru aspiration.

Must meet spouse at the Spa.

Attend a yoga class three times.

ENFP | Cancer

Your kind, gentle, and affectionate nature made kids drawn to you. It just fits perfectly with your historian-obsessed interest and your desire to teach history to young kids. Yet you know well that reading and research aren’t enough to satisfy your curiosity. Thus, most of the small income you get from teaching is spent in researching at Selvorada.

traits: good, vegetarian, lovebug

aspiration: archaeology scholar

career: education -- professor

additional requirements:

Complete the fossil set

Visit the Selvorada and finish exploring the temple.

Visit Selvorada at least thrice.

Optional: Make your house look like Selvorada.

ENTP | Leo

Your extroverted father has always made sure that you were always part of some community. It doesn’t come as a shock to you when you move to a city that has the perfect space for community. Except, it wasn’t really what you’d imagined it to be. You make it your goal to finally create the perfect space for you to finally relax in.

traits: clumsy, recycle disciple, outgoing

aspiration: eco innovator

career: civil technician -- green technician

skills to lvl 7: fabrication, gardening

additional requirements:

Move to Evergreen Harbor.

Turn on eco-footprint.

Must live by the docks and turn the eco-footprint green.

Retire as soon as you become an elder.

ENFP | Scorpio

You finally complete the last of the legacy challenge. Just as your ancestors have always wanted, you pursue something you’re interested in–baking! Your goal was to make everyone in the world discover your baking skills and acknowledge that maybe bread was better than rice (?) 

traits: cheerful, goofball, slob

aspiration: market magnet

career: self-employed -- bakery owner

skills to lvl 7: baking, comedy

additional requirements:

Complete aspiration.

As an adult buy a retail and sell your baked goods there.
