ENHYPEN PLAYS: LETHAL COMPANY

MISSION START ▶️

the five members bow slightly to the camera, “hello ENGENEs! today, we are playing another game.” jungwon starts off.

“since everyone enjoyed us playing the backrooms and there were a lot of positive reactions. we decided to bring in a new game!” jake continues.

“since noona is joining us today, would you like to introduce the game?”

she claps once, “everyone! today we are playing a game called ‘Letal Company’. ooooo, is everyone excited?”

“I’ve never heard of this game before.” sunghoon says. ivy gasps.

“you’ve never heard of the game? it took the whole world by storm. maybe not Korea? I don’t know but I watched a bunch of people play this on YouTube!”

“foreigners?” heeseung tilts his head. ivy hums.

“yup! anyways, usually the game only allows 4 players at a time but! I added a few mods into the game to make it more fun. just teensy tiny ones.”

“oh, I don’t think engenes know this. we’re playing at the dorms instead because noona said that PC cafes don’t have this game. she paid for each game on our own computers.” jake explains.

[IVY proving how rich she is. FLEX💪🏻]

ivy rolls her eyes playfully, “I just want you guys to enjoy the game without any troubles.”

“and we are thankful for that noona.” jungwon smiles. ivy pats the younger male.

“my favourite.”

jake gasps, “you have favourites in enhypen?”

“now, jaeyun-”

[please note that IVY has no favourite in ENHYPEN she loves them all equally]

“okay! everyone in on their computers now?” ivy turns to look at each of the boys on the discord call.

“yup, but how do we join the game?”

“i’ll send you guys invites just click on it.”

“okay.”

the 4 boys wait for ivy patiently. that is until jake storms into ivy’s room and starts to mess with her.

“yah! sim jaeyun, back to your room! just wait.” he starts poking ivy. “wait!”

“jake hyung!” jungwon yells from his room.

“ouh? it’s working, it’s working!” heeseung says as he loads into the game.

jake runs back into his room to attempt to join the game. once everyone loads into the game, ivy clicks the number 1 on her keyboard. her character starts dancing.

“what? how do you do that?” sunghoon says.

“why is the astronaut a better dancer than us??” jungwon adds.

“noona!! teach us.”

“hit 1 on the keyboard.” ivy says and so the 4 boys listened. they all yelled in excitement.

“YOIIIIII.” jungwon yells.

“can we make it do fever?” heeseung asks.

“no, now. the premise of the game since i’ve watched multiple gameplays.” ivy breathes in. “number 1, our main objective is to go on planets and collect scrap. number 2, we have a quota to reach.” her character points to the quota. “we have 3 days to collect enough scrap and then by the 3rd day, we need to sell it to the company.”

“who is the company?” jake asks.

“mmm, let’s say it’s BELIFT. we are selling our resources to BELIFT. then they will give us money and then we can either buy stuff to improve ourselves or challenge and go to bigger places that are harder than the simple ones.”

“ooo great analogy.” heeseung compliments.

“thank you.”

“what if we don’t reach the quota?”

“we get booted off like we’re on I-LAND.” ivy explains brutally. the boys gasp.

“not I-LAND.”

“exactly so we have to meet our quota, boys. you ready?”

“umm, yes?”

“great.” ivy pulls the lever. it loads them into the game. the spaceship flies down onto the planet and they land. the aircraft door opens.

“welcome to the land so far it’s normal so you don’t have to worry about anything yet. however, if the planet is eclipsed, it’s best if you stay quiet or the dogs will be out to murder you.” ivy explains further. none of the boys moved just yet. “come on, follow me. click right click to scan where the entrance of the place is by the way.”

the boys followed her.

“oh, there is a bridge, will it break-” just as jungwon says so, the bridge breaks and falls.

“am i too heavy?” jake says. ivy laughs.

“nah, if there are too many people walking on the bridge then it breaks. it’s old. don’t worry, jake. you’re not heavy. you can try to go by the emergency exit if you’d like.”

“but noona, i’m scared.” jake says.

“okay, then climb up here. you can walk over there and then come over. me, sunghoon and heeseung will wait at the entrance.”

“what about me, noona?” jungwon yells.

“there is a stable bridge to your left! you can walk over there and then come over to us!” ivy yells back. she turns to the other two. “you two, if you’re brave enough you can go in. we don’t have much time since the time is going by now. if you see the clock above us, we have to be back on the ship by midnight.”

“can we leave early?”

“yup, just as long as we get back on the ship by midnight with scrap.”

“this game is complicated.”

“for your first time, yes but if you play it a bunch of times. nah. you two can go in together, i’ll wait for jake and jungwon.”

and so, heeseung and sunghoon head inside first. not even a second later, they came back out just as jungwon and jake finally made it to the entrance.

“hey, umm vivi you didn’t explain to the both of us that it was scary in there.” heeseung says.

“this game is baby compared to the backrooms. you two don’t have to be so scared. come on.” ivy enters the building and the boys followed in. their voices were slightly altered when they entered the building. like they were in an abandoned building (which they were).

“okay, so you guys wanna split up or stay together.”

“won’t we get murdered quicker if we don’t stick together?” jake says.

“not exactly. you get killed either ways.” ivy says. “how about this. jungwon, heeseung and jake can stick together. me and hoon can look around. we’ll meet at the entrance.”

“but noona, you know the game than us.” jake pouts.

“oh don’t worry, jungwon would probably find a way. which by the way, if you find a stop sign or any sign you can use it as a weapon to kill the monsters.” ivy smiles. “good luck! hoon, let’s go.” both ivy and sunghoon went to the right side of the building.

“WHAT? MONSTERS???”

[ENHYPEN’s journey starts now]

ivy and sunghoon went down the stairs.

“i probably should’ve told them that we can’t hear them and they can’t hear us since we are far from each other.” ivy says. sunghoon’s character turns to ivy, he looks at the camera and deadpans.

“are you serious?”

“yeah, unless we have a walkie talkie but we need to buy that.”

they opened the door and spot a rubber ducky on the ground. “hoon, grab that. that’s scrap. how much is it? scan it.”

“the value is 40.”

“woah, that’s an expensive duck.”

“inflation.” sunghoon says simply. ivy snorts.

they heard a yippie from somewhere and sunghoon starts panicking.

“what? what’s that?”

“you met your first monster. it’s a hoarder bug. it normally doesn’t make that sound. i just put that mod to make it less scary.” ivy explains.

“so i can’t take their things?”

“nope. they’ll murder you so it’s best we ignore it and move on. unless you want to risk your life.”

“oh, no thank you.” sunghoon eyes the bug and starts dancing in front of it. “will they trade if i dance for them?”

“you can try.”

“do you speak KoHReAN.” sunghoon says in english while his character continues dancing. ivy laughs.

“i don’t think they do.” the bug continues to say ‘yippie!’. “oh, hoon. i see something huge that could give us big money!”

“what?” ivy points to the item in game.

“that. it’s an engine.”

“engene? we have to get it then. save our engene!”

“yes, save our engene.”

while ivy and hoon are saving engene. let’s see how jake, jungwon and heeseung are handling their experience.

[JAKE moves forward while covering his eyes shut]

“jake hyung, it’s not that scary. don’t worry.” jungwon says.

“mmm! it’s better than the backrooms.”

“okay…you better not be tricking me.” jake uncovers his eyes. just as he does so, they heard stomping.

“i think i might start cursing.” jake says.

heeseung notices something. scrap!

“yah yah, look. there is scrap over there! let’s grab it and then look for more.”

however none of them moved. both jake and heeseung looked over at jungwon expecting him to do it. “okay, fine. i’ll go there.” jungwon walks over and grabs the scrap. “guys, there is more over here! my inventory is full though. i need help.”

heeseung and jake went over to help. they collected the items.

“is that all?” they inspected the rooms and then they spot a monster, thumping and getting closer to them.

“what the hell is that.” jake says.

the monster turns to them and so their eyes widened. they quickly left and ran away. all three of them yelled out loud.

“NOONA!!!” jake yells.

back to ivy and sunghoon, their trip was decently peaceful. their inventories were almost full. then they hear a couple of footsteps. ivy knew which monster it was.

“hoon, let’s get out of here and meet up with the rest.”

“why? what’s wrong, noona?”

they came across a spider web. “that is what’s wrong.”

“spider-man?”

“no! it’s a spider and we don’t have any weapons! let’s go!!” ivy says. the pitter patter gets closer and so both ivy and sunghoon left quickly. they went back to the main entrance. jungwon, jake and heeseung made it to the entrance. their hearts raced quickly. just as they caught their breaths. a shadow dude comes into the space. jake yells and leaves the building. however, heeseung gets his neck snapped. jungwon’s jaw drops.

“HEESEUNG HYUNG!!” he was about to chase after the monster but ivy and sunghoon arrived.

“do not chase after that monster. he’ll kill you too!” ivy says. “grab heeseung’s stuff, we have to leave. where is jake?”

“outside.” they grabbed heeseung’s scrap and left the building. it was decently dark out, the sun was setting.

“we have to get back to the ship now.” ivy says. they made their way back to the ship.

[this felt like a thriller/horror movie]

they heard large stomping sounds.

“get in quickly.” ivy whispers. she enters the ship and drops her items. “everyone in?”

“yeah.” just as sunghoon says so, there was a growl.

“close the door.” ivy instructs. “the dogs are out.”

“DOGS??” jake says. there was a terrifying growl. ivy takes off the ship quickly. just as the dog was about to come in, jungwon shuts the door. “those were not dogs.”

“they are blind dogs so they react to sound. like i said before if we go on an eclipsed planet, the percentage will increase for monsters. that means those ‘dogs’ will have a higher percent to spawn on those planets.” ivy says.

“what was the loud stomping though?” sunghoon asks.

“giants. they’re just mainly blind but they can hear.”

“what about the thumping in the building…” jake nervously say.

“that monster spawned too??” ivy’s jaw drops. “okay, let’s debrief first. heeseung should come back since we’re safe and in the air now.”

[HEESEUNG spawns in]

“okay, tell me how your trip went and what happened to heeseung?”

“so basically, we heard some thumping but still went forward to grab some scrap. once we collected it, we saw what was making the noise.”

“the monster didn’t have any body. just a head and arms for legs. he also looks like a fish.” jake says.

“then we got scared and ran to the main entrance. once we arrived, we heard a weird scary sound like a growl and then a shadow man came up, jake hyung ran out but heeseung hyung got his neck snapped and the guy dragged his body.” jungwon explains.

“that’s the bracken by the way. he actually lurks behind you before attacking you. i think the editors can put up a video of it for ENGENEs while i show it to you guys.”

[IVY showed the video to the boys]

jake cowers in fear, “i don’t want to play anymore!”

“same!”

“wait guys, drop your things. let’s see how much we made. then maybe we can just land and get a little more than leave quickly. I can show you the company where we sell everything.” ivy says.

“how do we drop things?”

“press G.”

the boys dropped their things. “okay, right click to scan and we should see the total up amount.”

“is 340 enough?”

“more than enough. our first time is only 130. we crushed it.”

“ooo that means we can just play around on the second day.”

“yup!”

which is what the five of them did. ivy types into the computer. “let me see the moons.”

> 41 EXPERIMENTATION - Eclipsed

ivy’s jaw drops. she looks at the camera. “editors can you bleep this when i curse?”

“why? why? what’s wrong?” heeseung asks.

“guys, we are absolutely f-”

[ARTIST PROTECTION]

“oh? why?” jungwon tilts his head.

“it’s eclipsed.” the aircraft lands and they instantly hear growling. the door opens and ivy crouches in game. she shuts the door.

“everyone keep quiet or whisper. i can tell you there is no way we are going to get out of this ship. we are screwed.” the boys too had crouched in game. jungwon looks over to the lever and just holds ‘e’. he pulls the lever and of they went.

“i think it was best.”

“definitely a good choice.” sunghoon says.

“so the company?” jake says.

“okay, one second.” ivy goes on the computer and types ‘71-Gordion’ (the company).

“what do you do in the computer anyways?”

“you can watch people on the monitor and see where we are. disable turrets, know where the monsters are, open and close doors, buy stuff and also see which moon is eclipsed or not or has bad weather.”

“woah, so this computer is like the main thing huh.” jake says.

“yup. anyways, who wants to pull the lever? i already set us to the company.” sunghoon pulls the lever.

they arrived at the company, it was dark and mysterious. ominous too. it sent shivers down jake’s spine.

“i got goosebumps. i don’t like this.”

“well, we are here. grab our stuff. maybe we can save some stuff. just enough for our quota.”

“can we keep the duck?” sunghoon asks.

“sure. just leave it inside the storage closet.” ivy opens the closet and sunghoon places the duck inside. “okay, for this part. everyone please silently walk up to the mysterious door and place the things on the counter.”

“what happens if you make noise?” heeseung asks.

“a monster will snatch you and kill you.”

“so let’s keep quiet.”

each of them placed their items onto the counter. “who wants to press the bell?”

“jake hyung.” jungwon points to jake.

jake sighs and presses the bell. he quickly runs away. the door opens and a hook snatches their items away.

“ewww what was that! why was there a hook taking our things away??” jake says.

“that’s the company.”

the money pops up and it shows that they reached their quota.

“we now have money and a new quota just dropped!” ivy says. she points to the new number.

“301?? oh god.”

“mmm, i think we played this game for at least 3 hours now.”

“yeah, it’s quite fun right? time flies by really fast in this game.” ivy says.

“maybe we can ask sunoo, jay and ni-ki to join us since noona added the mod for more people.” jungwon says.

“i don’t think jay would like this game very much. it’s too scary for him. he didn’t even want to play the backrooms with us.” jake says.

“well, did you enjoy ‘Lethal Company’?” ivy asks.

“we did, it’s quite fun.”

ivy turns to the camera. “well, ENGENEs i hope you enjoyed me, jungwon, jake, sunghoon and heeseung playing the game! be sure to also check out when these four played the backrooms! really fun to watch them play it. i wanna play it too but they only allow 4 players.”

“noona, me, sunghoon and heeseung hyung can play together.” jake smirks.

“oh? it’s a deal then!” ivy smirks. “anyways, ENGENEs thank you for watching this video! oh and comment down below if i should convince jay, sunoo and ni-ki to play along with us. maybe i’ll find a way to convince them.”

all of them waved to the camera and the video ends.

Total Drama Sims: Season 2

That's right, baby! We're back. Is your teenaged sim bored and wanting something epic and awesome to do to spend their summer? Does your teenaged sim want a brush of fame and notoriety? Well, you've come to the right place. Total Drama Sims, the freshest, awesomest reality show on simblr, is back for a 2nd season, and I'm ready for you all to send 14 more teenagers to compete in crazy, wacky challenges (safety/lack of danger not guaranteed) in pursuit of the grand prize!

WHAT'S NEW THIS SEASON?

To keep things fresh, TDS2 will be set in a new location and will have new gameplay mechanics! TDS has claimed an abandoned film lot in Del Sol Valley because this season, our challenges will be based off of movie genres, just like the 2nd season of TDS's inspiration!

As for our new gameplay mechanics, TDS2 will be introducing a double elimination (two people are eliminated rather than one), a team swap elimination (someone is eliminated, but instead of leaving the game, the eliminated person joins the other team), and purge challenges (instead of a vote, the worst-performing contestant of a challenge is automatically eliminated) to mix things up and keep the game interesting!

I am primarily looking for people who did NOT participate last season, or their sim got out early. However, everyone may still participate! I just want as many people as possible to get a chance to have their sim play 💖 A lot of people were interested last time and unfortunately spots filled up so fast that some people weren't able to participate because of it (That being said, to promote transparency, I am now REQUIRING RESERVATIONS! That means if you want to participate, you MUST contact me before submitting your sim. You can do this by DM'ing me or sending an ask).

Read on for a refresher on what this competition is all about and UPDATED submission rules (so if you had a sim compete last season, make sure to read them again!)

THE GIST:

This competition is, obviously, based off of the Total Drama series (a show that’s near and dear to me), but you do not need any background knowledge of this show to participate! The show (and this competition) functions similarly to a Bachelor Challenge, where contestants will be routinely eliminated until there is a sole winner.

This competition will also focus on the contestants building relationships with each other (hence the drama part, which is bound to happen when you put 14 teenagers together!)

SUBMISSION RULES:

Reservations for spots are first-come-first-serve. If for any reason you'd like to give up your reservation, contact me ASAP so I can give that reservation to someone else!

Your sim must be a teen

If you had a sim compete last season, you may not resubmit that same sim. I'm looking for an all-new cast!

No occults; contestants must be human only (to prevent unfair advantages)

Contestants must not have high-level skills (they can have some level of skill but nothing above lvl 5; also to prevent unfair advantages)

Any amount and type of CC is fine, just make sure to include it when you send your sim over to me ^^

Only one outfit per category please

Must be okay with slight changes in sims' appearances (as I may use different mods/presets than you do)

Must be okay with me writing dialogue for your sims (for confessionals (example from last season here). I read all entries down to the word and will try my very best to keep everyone in their intended character)

Must be okay with the possibility of your sim entering romantic relationships with other sims (PLEASE SPECIFY THEIR SEXUALITY/ROMANTIC ORIENTATION. Sims with unspecified sexualities/romantic orientations will be assumed to be pan). Nothing NSFW will be shown or mentioned, as of course I'll be portraying minors, but please let me know if you don't want your sim to enter any romantic relationships!

Please give your sims a backstory. The more detailed the better. Describe what they're like, why they're competing on Total Drama Sims, etc.

Your sim can have any traits/aspirations

HERE IS HOW THE COMPETITION WILL WORK:

The 14 contestants will be split into 2 teams of 7

The 2 teams will compete in challenges in attempt to win invincibility (safety from being voted off). The losing team will have to vote someone off (the winning team will not be part of voting)

This process continues until 7 contestants remain. Afterwards the teams dissolve and everyone competes individually (this is known as merge). This means that only 1 contestant can win invincibility; everyone else will be at risk for elimination

When merge occurs, all eliminated contestants at that point will be eligible to rejoin the game through a special challenge. The winner of that challenge will rejoin the game (bringing the number of contestants back to 8)

This process again continues until 2 contestants remain. In the finale, all eliminated contestants will vote for a winner

Challenges will occur half the time. The other half of the competition will be socialization days, where contestants are free to socialize with each other as they please

The competition will start with a socialization day first to establish relationships before the first challenge

If the numbers between teams get too uneven, then a team swap will occur to one random contestant on the larger team

Voting will be determined by relationship dynamics and how everyone did in the challenge. Contestants who do poorly are more likely to get voted. Contestants who have a negative relationship with each other are also more likely to get voted. Conversely contestants who have a positive relationship with each other are less likely to get voted. The contestant with the most votes at the end is eliminated. All of this will be determined by a spinner (in case of a tie I will use a random number generator to determine who’s out). This will also determine who wins at the end of the competition.

REWARD FOR THE WINNER:

This competition is mostly for the funsies, but whoever wins this competition will personally receive an actual reward from me! You have a choice between the following options:

Discord Nitro for 1 month

A tumblr badge

NO DEADLINE! Submissions will close when all 14 spots are filled/reserved. Please provide your sim's tray files as soon as convenient! (Lmk if you need help with this. I will teach you if you don't know how!)

I will be updating the number of spots reserved periodically and will announce when all 14 spots are taken, but if you're ever unsure, don't be afraid to DM me/send an ask!

That should be it! Please comment, DM me, or send an ask if you have any questions, and feel free to reblog or share this with anyone who might be interested in participating!

“I was feeling epic.”

Welcome to a new legacy based off the television series The Vampire Diaries, featuring both an occult free version for players that prefer realism and an optional occult related track for every generation.

You do not need to have seen the show to play the challenge, however if you want to watch it eventually, there will be spoilers for both The Vampire Diaries and The Originals.

When posting playthroughs, please use the tag #tvduchallenge or #ts4tvduc so others can see your gameplay! This challenge was written by mythsanddragons focusing on the major characters in the series.

Last updated: October 26, 2024

CLICK HERE FOR THE GOOGLE DOC

GENERAL RULES

It is recommended that while each generation follows each characters’ story, that you don’t try to replicate their story exactly as shown in the show. Even though the goals track their storyline progression through the series, I encourage you to play around, change aspects, and have fun!

The aspirations and skills listed should be completed. You may need to complete other skills for the sims aspiration or career. The skills chosen are more based on personality and hobbies the characters are shown having in the series. When it comes to the aspirations, if there is an ‘and/or’ you may do one or all of the listed aspirations. It’s up to you what you choose for your childhood aspirations. If no teen aspiration is mentioned, you may do what you wish for that character.

The goals are more story oriented than goal oriented, though some correlate directly to accomplishing goals. If you wish to skip certain goals or move them to another category, you’re welcome to. Part one is for teen goals and part two is for YA and above.

Play on whatever lifespan you’d like. I’d recommend a long lifespan or a custom one to be able to accomplish all the storytelling goals without rushing and give you some breathing room, but you’re welcome to try and do everything in a shorter lifespan. You can also change the lifespan for certain generations if they feel like you’re getting through faster than others.

It is suggested that you use mods, especially to accomplish certain goals listed. If you can’t or don’t use mods, you can either do storytelling for that goal or ignore it completely.

You can alter generations to fit your game as this challenge was made with all packs in mind.

Some cheating is allowed, if you like, to reach certain storyline goals or to move things in the needed direction. There are specific areas in certain generations where you might wish to do so to progress the story forward.

In instances where you need to move a lot, you may occasionally cheat for a home if you can’t afford one.

University is listed for most generations, as several of the characters went to college in the series. You’re welcome to pause time during it, shorten it with mods, or not do it at all, if it doesn’t interest you.

You may choose an heir in any way you like. Heirs do not need to be the same in any aspect as the generation’s namesake.

Spin the event wheel whenever you’re told, but if you’re looking for more to do during any generation you may use it to spice things up.

Since the majority of TVD is about grief and learning how to live in the face of it, make sure you celebrate both life and death. For every sim that is important, be sure to have a funeral.

FAQ

Why are there so many traits listed?

Mostly, it's for variety. You can choose the traits you feel best represent the character listed and/or the sim you’re playing. Also, for people who play with the more traits mod, it gives them the opportunity to define their sim more. Some traits can be swapped out at different times during a character’s lifetime to better reflect what they are experiencing. It’s really up to you. If you don’t know what to pick, feel free to roll for it.

Where do the Occult Optional Goals fit in?

Basically, you’d insert the goals into the list of the non-occult goals. You may place them wherever you like, though in some generations I give clues as to where they might fit in the best. You never have to follow those guides if you have an idea you like better for the placement of the occult goals.

Which generation should I play first?

If you have a favorite, you’re welcome to jump to it. However, I did write Stefan’s generation to be last and I tried to place them in an order where the characters that have interlocking plot lines are further apart in most cases to make it less redundant.

Can I skip a generation if I don’t like it/the character?

If you want! Though, if you’re doing it just because you don’t like a character, you might enjoy playing their story more than watching it because you’ll have a chance to make the character more interesting.

Why is character XYZ not a generation?

I tried to stick to the main characters that were in the series. The only main character I skipped, I believe, is Enzo because most of his life was in captivity or he was a ghost. If enough people want a certain character generation done though, I’m happy to try and create one.

Wait, some of these generations require me to play sims running away or other storylines where they are not in the same household as the previous generation. What if I’m not done with the previous generation’s goals when the next generation is a teen?

There’s a few ways you can handle this. You can stop aging until you’re ready to deal with it or you can rotationally play with your two heirs’ households. I’m sure there’s other ways to handle it as well, if you want to. Get creative!

Do I have to stick with the color palette?

Only if you want to. They are based primarily on the colors the characters are seen wearing a lot or a color that is associated with the feel of their generation. They aren’t a requirement, but there for fun, as I personally like color associations.

Will this get updated?

If new packs come out that work with the legacy, or if I notice there are goals that aren’t working how I want them too when I play it through, it might!

GENERATION ONE: Elena Gilbert

“When you lose someone, it stays with you, always reminding you of how easy it is to get hurt.”

►Trauma defines you. Without it, you’re not sure who you are. It makes you want to live and it makes you want to die. You’re not sure how to keep going. Somehow, you figure it out and decide that life is worth living to the fullest. You find that you love to help people and find purpose in assisting others, allowing them to find their second chance as well. With that understanding, that becomes your life: weird, messy, complicated, sad, wonderful, amazing, and above all epic.

GENERATION TWO: Caroline Forbes

“When anybody tells me I can’t do something, I prove them wrong.”

►You always feel like you’re playing second fiddle. You’re neurotic, somewhat of a control freak, and know that if you want something done, you have to do it yourself. While you put on a facade of everything being perfect, inside things aren’t so bright and cheery. You often feel as shallow as a kiddie pool, but you’re working on it, and that has to count for something, right? Your life is nothing like what you expected it to be, but you find love and acceptance in unexpected places. You might not always be the first pick, but you’ll always make every moment count.

GENERATION THREE: Jeremy Gilbert

“I wake up everyday and I feel okay. But there's something missing, like a hole. Some people, they fit in life or whatever. I don't.”

►You’ve always felt like you don’t quite belong, like you’re alone in this world. You carry an empty feeling inside of you that makes you feel lost. You hold loss close to your chest and are often overcome with a lack of purpose. You try to act like everything is okay so no one worries about you and try to numb the feelings any way you can. You often know you’re making the wrong choice, but you make it anyway. As you get older, you find new ways to cope and contribute to the world around you. You find a strength you didn’t know you had. Will it be enough at last?

GENERATION FOUR: Damon Salvatore

“Because when people see good, they expect good, and I don’t want to have to live up to anyone’s expectations.”

►You have never been enough. Not for your parents, not for your siblings, not for your lovers. Your life is filled with disappointments — being one yourself and being disappointed by others. You tried to be good, to find love, to be level headed, but everyone turned their backs on you. Instead of living up to expectations, you push everyone away, secretly hoping that one day someone might break through your walls and appreciate you for who you are. Until then, if you’re going to be bad, be bad with a purpose, or else you're not worth forgiving.

GENERATION FIVE: Elijah Mikaelson

“I have come to believe that we are bound forever to those with whom we share blood. And while we may not choose our family... their blood can be our greatest strength, or our deepest regret.”

►You live by a moral code all your own. Sometimes it’s not always what is right, but what is necessary. You refuse to give up on your family, even when it seems like they can’t be saved. After all, the very definition of broken means that there is something that can be fixed, and you will do anything to make it better. You dedicate your life to everyone but yourself, trying to make up for what you believe are past failings. Will you ever learn to value yourself?

GENERATION SIX: Matt Donovan

“You can’t possibly hate me more than I hate myself.”

►Corruption is everywhere you turn. You had a rough upbringing and never quite felt connected to your family. You tried to put them first, to keep them afloat, but everything fell apart before you. Even your friends fall victim to losing themselves. You explore the world and take risks before coming back home. You dedicate yourself to trying to better the world around you, to make a difference where you can. After all, as someone once told you: the first rule of truly living is to do what you fear most.

GENERATION SEVEN: Rebekah Mikaelson

"The first rule of truly living is to do the things you're most afraid of."

►Everything you love turns to ash. You fear being abandoned but it seems like nothing you do can change that. You’re always finding love in the wrong places at the wrong time, desperate to live the fairytale life of true love, growing old together, and having kids. You love through thick and thin, and are more devoted than anyone, yet still it feels like you’re always getting the short end of the stick. You become bitter and resentful, but you keep trying again and again. There is a demon in everyone, and some days it wins, but maybe one day you can control it and finally live the life you dream of.

“I find a way to keep going, because that’s what we do. We find a way to keep going.”

However, you learned to keep going and move forward, building your family by picking up loved ones along the way. You try to be everything you can be to the people in your life, but you often feel a dead weight. You struggle to connect with people your entire life, but you hope you’ve always done the best you could for those you love.

GENERATION NINE: Klaus Mikaelson

"What some would call evil, I believe to be an appropriate response to a harsh and unfair world."

►You are pessimistic and paranoid, seeing enemies in everyone around you. As much as you might love, and deeply, your fear of being betrayed controls your life. You want more than anything to surround yourself with those that will see you for who you are and love you regardless, but you are too blinded by your emotions to see clearly those that have stood beside you all along. There is beauty in those that persevere, in those that believe there is good in the world, but so often you allow yourself to drown in the darkness. Will you ever be able to pull yourself out?

If your needs aren’t being met, why shouldn’t you do everything in your power to get your way? You’re all about sharing until one day someone makes you feel worthy of love.

You have strong morals and you try to stick by them no matter what, but if your friends are in danger, you’re not going to stand by and do nothing.

It yearns to run free because you don’t know how to deal with the ways in which life has let you down. You drown, over and over again, unable to deal with your problems and face your emotions.

Sims 2 Default List

There are many default lists out there but most of them haven’t been updated in years. Many new mods have come out and older mods have been lost. With this default mod guide I hope to provide a solid aesthetic for your Sims 2 game while also being optimized. Feel free to pick and choose what you wish and skip around in the sections.

Some house cleaning needs to be done before any default mods can be installed, use this guide by Captain Nikki to get your game up and running and also to install ReShade if you wish to use it.

Something Nikki didn’t mention but is very useful is the userstartup.cheat. PleasantSims has a guide on how to use it and also has her’s available for download. With this you can extend the view distance and a bunch of other very useful things.

Lighting Mod:

Maxist Match Lighting Mod by DeadPirate

Kind of a pain to install as you need to replace the corresponding files for the expansions and stuff packs but it makes the game look so much nicer.

ReShade(see Captain Nikki’s guide for help installing)

ReShade Preset We Fell in Love in October by DeadPirate

This is the main preset that I use, it’s made to go with the Maxist Match Lighting Mod.

Clouds, Sky, and Water:

Lowedeus’ Maxis BaseGame Clouds Made Global by Lazy Duchess/Lowedeus

Be Sure to read the whole post as you need to grab a file from this page, I chose the Dust version.

Pond and Sea Water Overhaul by Voeille

For the ponds to work you need to go into each lot with one and add a small square, if you don’t the pond will just be a black void.

Better Nightlife by Criquette

If you plan on using Criquette’s Rual Charm or any of their neighborhood decorations then you’ll want to grab this mod. It’s being listed here because if you use the Pond and Sea Water Overhaul you’ll need to replace the file for the sea water with this one, the pond file can be left alone.

Blurry Skies by Nopke

One of the best mods in my opinion, it replaces the sky without you having to do anything. I use the version with all of the skies. This mod combined with Lowedus’ Maxis Clouds makes the sky look beautiful. Do not install SkyFix. If you load into the game at this point you’ll notice that it’s not working, it’s because Skyfix isn’t installed but don’t worry as we’ll be using a different version of it that came with Rural Charm.

360 and Seasons Ready Skylines by GreatCheeseCakePersona

A skybox object that’s found in neighborhood decorations that adds a backdrop to the world. Be sure to read the post for placement instructions.

City and Rural Skyline by GreatCheeseCakePersona

An add on for the mod listed above by the same creator. I use these two skylines more than any other.

Pond Bottom Defaults by Simsantonic

Now that the water has been replaced it’s time to make the bottom of the ponds cute. Read the full page as this mod isn’t installed in your downloads. I use the River Rock option.

TS2 Sink and Basin Water Revised by Pineapple Forest

Cleans up the textures of sink and basin water.

Effects and Misc.

Flutterby by Poppet-Sims

A default for the butterflies.

Default Snowflake(s) by Ivy-Sims

Changes the snowflakes to those found in the Sims 3, a small mod but helps a lot to make your lots cute.

Brighter and Less Square Fallen Leaves by Frustrated Yeti

Changes the fallen leaves to be cuter.

Prettier Bubble Bath by Pineapple Forest

Makes the bubble bath textures less blurry.

TS2 Infallibly Good Witch Aura - Smooth Default by Pineapple Forest

Changes the Good Witch Aura, I use the star option.

Evil Aura Effect Default + Magical Stars + Cleaning Glint by Pineapple Forest

I use the star option to match with the above mod.

Food:

There’s quite a few defaults for food, I suggest using this spreadsheet to pick and choose what you want. I personally don’t use any defaults for the food items themselves or for the cooking appliances.

Items:

Lighten Up! by NixNivis

Makes the computer screens brighter.

Custom Computer Screens by Eddysims

A default for the computer screens.

Better Bubbles by Eddysims

Replaces the blurry speech bubbles with higher quality ones.

Buyable Potions and Bottle Defaults by Pineapple Forest

Changes the appearance of the potion bottles. On the mod page are a few more options such as being able to buy gypsy potions from the catalog, I just use the defaults. There’s two options for the plantsim cure, I chose vintage.

Date Rewards Roses Default Replacement by Tvickiesims

Changes the appearance of the rose date rewards. There’s two versions, one that’s just a default and the other that puts the date rewards in the catalog. I use just the default.

Vehicles:

School Bus Default Replacement by Poppet-Sims

You’ll have to scroll down the page a little to find it, I use turquoise.

Busy Roads NH Traffic Default Replacement by Criquette

You need to install some packages from their other mod. Some of the cars have more than one option so make you only pick one default. I chose to use only the cars needed, you can find that information at the bottom of the mod page. I also chose not to use any branded cars.

Lot Trees and Plants

Perfect Plants by Simbology

Not a default but useful for keeping your lots pretty. This is a hack that makes it so that plants on lots do not die. This doesn’t affect garden crops or trees.

-House Plants Replaced With Nynaeve Design Plants (+ Custom Versions) by Tvickiesims

Changes some of the existing house plants and adds some extra ones as well.

Flora Default Replacement - Sims 4 Style by Tvickiesims

Replaces the trees, shrubs, flowers, orchard trees, and crops. Look through the files because for the Papaya tree there’s two options, I use version one.

DR Plants by Lordcrumps

Changes the decoration plants to a plant from the Sims 4. Each file is included with a picture so it’s very easy to pick what you want and don’t.

Neighborhood Trees and Deco:

Criquette/Lowedeus’ Linen Trees DFR by Peppermint & Ginger

A more optimized version of this mod. Be sure to read the description and grab the files needed from the original mod. I use the 512x1024px version.

CS: Seasonal Pines by Lowedeus

A replacement for the neighborhood pine trees. Download the Pines Pack.

Sims 2 Neighbourhood Pine Forest Defaults! by TeaAdicctYT

A replacement to match the above mod but for the large groups of pine trees.

Beautiful Birches by SixFootSim

Changes the neighborhood birches.

Seasonal AL Pond by Lowedeus

Makes the pond neighborhood decoration seasonal, I use the Lush-Blue version.

Neighbourhood Trees Default Replacements - Gingko, Walnut, Redbud by PixelDolly

A default to match with the rest of the above trees.

Rock and Sand Peninsula Tree Defaults by KinderGoth

Changes the palm trees that came with BV.

Hi-Res Lot View-Friendly Farm Fields by PixelDolly

In the vanilla game the farm fields can’t be seen from lots, ruining the aesthetic of farmhouses. This mod isn’t a default replacement but it’s basically a new farm field deco object that looks similar to the vanilla games. You need to install this mod to get them to work. I like to go in and delete each vanilla farm field and replace them with these ones.

No Rocks Deco Mod by Chemic’s Simblr

Removes the rocks that show when you place an effect in the neighborhood view.

Working Street Lights Hood Deco Set by Criquette

This isn’t a default replacement, but it’s nice to have. Requires their Better Nightlife mod mentioned before in the Clouds, Sky, and Water section.

Seasonal Fields by GreatCheescakePersona

Not a default but a very pretty neighborhood decoration item that matches well with this set-up.

Terrain and Road:

Rural Charm Terrain & Road Default Replacement by Criquette

Replaces the roads and terrain. I use the files for the Lush (Temperate) Road DR, Neighborhood Road Transparency Fix, Lot Mode Road Overlays, Unified Bridges, Terrain Paints (I use a different mod for the terrain with it’s own terrain paints so I deleted the files for the three grasses as well as the file for the pebble beach), Floor Tiles, Neighborhood Decals Default Replacement, Winter Textures DR for Lush (Temperate) ‘Hood Terrain, Season Lot Skirt Road Fix + SimNopke SkyFix, Neighborhood Winter Beach DR, Neighborhood mode Cliff DR selection (I use the white option), and Maxis Neighborhood Bridge Road Deck DR.

Criquette’s RC roads on CuriousB/Icad’s terrains (DEFAULT) by Charming-Plumbob

Makes Criquette’s Rural Charm Roads work with other terrain. Use all the files except for the lush one.

Terrain Default Replacements by Peppermint & Ginger

Changes all terrain types. Delete the lush file from this mod and see below for the updated version. I like using this terrain over the one with Rural Charm because it’s a set for every terrain type so it keeps the appearance consistent.

Lush Default Replacement V2 by Peppermint & Ginger

Includes an update to the above mod as well as matching terrain paints.

No More Blurriness by Voeille

There’s quite a few files for this mod, the ones we want are for the beach and snow. There is also a matching beach terrain paint if you want it, just be sure to delete the terrain paints for the cliffs. This mod is a default replacement for the lot view of the beach and the lot light snow.

Neighbourhood Snow Default Replacement by xSparrow

Download the HoodSnowSeparate file and delete the one for the grass terrain. Rural Charm already has a fix for the snow for the grass terrain. This mod makes the neighborhood snow look nicer.

4 Maxist Base Game Terrain Paints Default Replacement by iCad

Replaces a few of the base game terrain paints, I use the 512x512 set.

Ceiling and Trim

White Roof Trim Defaults by Phaenoh

Changes the trim around lot roofs.

Replacement Floor Tile Border by Feenwald

Changes the trim around floor tiles, I use the White Wood option (Weisses Holz).

Away you Ugly Thing! by Maranatah

Changes the wall top, I use the white option.

Ceiling Default Replacement by Honeywell

Changes the ceiling texture.

UI:

Clean UI by GreatCheeseCakePersona

The page is very easy to follow for installing so I won’t list too much here, but just be sure to read through everything. Not everything goes into the downloads folder and for some stuff you’ll have to pick only one option.

No Pause Frame by Nopke

Gets rid of the red lines that show up when you pause the game. Very useful for taking screenshots.

Level Numbers Added to Job Titles by Phaenoh

A mod that lets you see what level of a career your sim is at.

Smaller Plumbob Default by Pineapple Forest

Makes the plumbob smaller and less opaque, I use the smaller and softer plumbob option and the neighborhood file. If you'd rather there’s a mod that removes plumbobs here, but I like having them so when it comes to taking screenshots I use the plumbbobtoggle cheat.

Clean TS2 Skill Meters Default by Pineapple Forest

Matches with the above mod, there’s also a version that’s compatible with the remove plumbob mod. I use the SimSkillMeterDefault and the Invisible Leaves files.

Clean OFB “BuyBar” Default by Pineapple Forest

Completes the two mods above. I use the transparent option.

Camera Mod Compilation by Lowedeus

Not a UI mod but I wanted to include it as it makes playing the game so much better. These need to be installed in the camera folders.

This completes my default guide for the environment. All of the screenshots shown are not edited and use the mods listed. With this set-up I haven’t had my game crash or stutter even though I play on a generic laptop not meant necessary for gaming. There isn’t much to say about default for the actual sims themselves as there are so many options for skins, hairs, eyes, etc. I suggest using the default database and picking for yourself. If you rather download a huge folder instead I suggest this post from Peppermint & Ginger, but keep in mind the hairs are high poly and might lag your game. For my game I use this skin default and for the eyes I use these.

Some tips for making your neighborhoods look nicer, delete any trees that were not replaced and instead use ones that are or look for neighborhood deco trees. Same goes for the farm fields, but the trees especially can look bad if they can be seen from your lots. Try to keep a consistent theme and use similar colors.

Use whatever you want from this guide or nothing at all. Lesyasun has a guide here and another list here. On r/Sims2Help there’s this guide.

Leo is playing a version of the Sims, with some mods installed.

The audience has watched him mess around, and try to get the Sim based on himself with the one based on his boyfriend named Moon, and somehow just annoying the Bunny instead.

"This is somehow harder in this game, than in real life. Then again my lovely Moon did threaten to cut me in half when we first met." Leo says this while trying to figure why the 'romance options' are making Sim Usagi annoyed.

"Bit of a fun fact. When I visited Bunny Boys family I got to see some pictures. And let me tell ya. He had a Great something Grandfather that was very handsome, and apparently had a 'best buddy'," Leo stopped to do air quotes, "that showed up in quite a few pictures. Though said Grandpa was also a Samurai, so who knows what their relationship was."

In the middle of him talking the Mikey Sim somehow caught something on fire.

"What? How!? He was Painting? How did it catch fire?!" Leo quickly tries to get the Sims to get to safety, or put out the fire. "I need to pause and ask Dee if something in one of the mods is messing with my game."

Leo didn't switch to a BRB scene, he just muted while talking on the phone.

Meanwhile the game wasn't paused either, and they can only watch as the Donnie Sim messes with a Science Station then have it blow up in their face. The Sim then stomps over to a shower to clean up.

The Raph Sim can be seen just going back and forth between a few exercise equipment.

And the Leo Sim starts a stream on the computer, but because of the angle of the camera where Leo left it, it looks like the Sim is talking to the audience. Which is slightly unnerving for the viewers.

Leo after a few minutes ends his phone call and un mutes.

"Sorry about that guys. I asked Dee, and they mentioned that there may have been a mod that adds hidden attributes to the Sims that you have to learn on your own. So maybe my Moon might not see the romance option as romantic until later, and Mandarin might have a hidden pyromaniac trait." As Leo says this the camera switches to see Mikey cooking something with a Flambe flair.

"Though my own Sim might have a hidden trait that makes him a terrible flirt so that romance options fail. Either way time to by some better fire alarms, and look for a different approach to take with Moon." Leo says while leaning back in his chair with his arms folded.

He just sits back to watch what the Sims were doing for a few minutes, kinda forgetting to turn on double speed, and observed them going about with their lives.

An in game notification mentioned a Sims Splinter, who's a big celebrity, was caught in a scandalous affair.

"I guess this is part of one of the mods. Though what is this affair?" Leo leans forward to click on the notification.

It brings up a in game 'newspaper/magazine' that showed a couple pictures, one of Sim Splinter coming out of a closet with a random male sim, and another of an in game wedding photo of Sim Splinter with Sim Draxum.

"Well this isn't the first time I've seen this kind of article about Dad, but it's the first time that they have a wedding picture. Ya know. Since Pops never married his Ex." Leo says while taking a screenshot and sending it to the group chat. "Though I didn't know his Sim was married to Barrys. I guess that's a personal touch from Dee."

Leo goes to make an attempt at a different interaction between his Sim and Moon. That's when he found a modded sub category of interaction that involved a sword duel.

"Why not? It's the closest thing to what happened, so it might work."

He and the audience sit and watch as the two sims have a fight that didn't last long, but then once it was done their relationship meter had gone up quite a lot. Then the sims started flirting on their own.

"I swear Dee programmed this just to make fun of how weird my relationship is. Because I feel very called out." Leo says with a bit of a pout.

The chat was still very entertained, and tossing around suggestions of what to do next.

The stream continues thankfully without any of the Sims setting themselves on fire.

-----------------

Masterpost

My mind was hitting me with so many story ideas while I was writing the Convention series. Which kinda tells me that my own mind doesn't like working on one connected story over multiple posts, and rather me have 10+ loosely connected posts.

Hey guys! Thank you so much for all the love you've given to my Sims versions of Merlin and the knights!

Since there's interest in my Merlin save I will be sharing some stories about what's been happening in that world. However, before I do I feel I need to explain the way I play this save since it's not your standard Sims 3 fashion. I typically play rotationally, spending a week with each family before moving on and using nraas story progression mod to keep everyone from aging while I'm not there. My nraas setup also keeps sims from changing their relationship status or progressing in their careers when I'm not playing them but they can meet new sims, make friends, declare enemies, and start up a bit of a flirtation on their own. I like coming back to a household and seeing what dynamics have formed when I leave them to their own devices, though I get the final say on what romantic interests they end up pursuing.

Now that's just my standard setup for most of my games. For my Merlin save I decided to add some interest by using Merlin characters for my own version of The Medieval Charter Challenge! For those unfamiliar The Medieval Charter Challenge is basically a sims 2 build-a-kingdom challenge where you start with a small settlement and slowly build your world up until you have a medieval city. There are a lot of rules including a tax system and class structures that I'm not going to go over but if you're interested you can check out the original rules here For those of you who are familiar with the challenge just know that I've tweaked some of the rules to fit better with the sims 3 and I don't always follow them strictly. I treat them more like guidelines than actual rules, especially since I'm using pre-established characters, some of which have magic which opens up excuses for all sorts of shenanigans. So if you see me doing something that doesn't follow the rules don't worry about it.

Mainly what you need to know is that I started with an empty world, 3 households who are not part of my rotation but are there to help populate the town (druid camp, knights barracks, and the Ladies' manor), 5 peasant families (du Lac, Smith, Hopper, Emrys, and Ealdor), 2 Yeomen families (Macken and De Grance), and the royal Pendragon family. As my save is currently I have 9 community lots, 3 peasant families (Hopper, Ealdor, Oliver), 1 yeoman family (Emrys), 1 Merchant family (du Lac), 1 Gentry family (Macken), 1 Noble family (De Grance), and the royal Pendragon family that have all dramatically changed as they intermarried, had kids, built up their businesses, and rose in the ranks.

My plan is to make a post on each of these families explaining their story. This will take time though as I plan to give you guys family portraits, before and after tours of their homes, any screenshots I happened to have taken while playing, as well as writing out the twists and turns of their tales. So please bear with me while I sort that out.

In the meantime here's some screenshots of some shippy poses I did with my sims that aren't part of the save

Tagging those who expressed interest in knowing more about my save (let me know if you want me to tag you in future posts about this): @tansyuduri @building-camelot @chairwiththreelegs

[Simmerianne93]Action_poses_08_V1

Hello guys!!! How are you today??

I'm back with my normal Patreon posts.

I was supposed to publish this last thursday, but I had a power outage at home all day and I couldn't, and I was too busy on weekend to post anything.

This month I didn't do a "coming soon" post 'cause the poses I'm bringing to you are poses that you have already seeing in my previous "coming soon"posts (I ended up a little oversaturated from simblreen so I need a little break from doing new poses until december. I hope you understand it). I have left a posepack from September (HORSE 01) and two from October (ACTION 08 and FANTASY 18) so my plan is to bring you those posepacks (Although I'm still struggling with the horse poses).

Today's posepack is one of the post I have left pending from October (I guess I wanted to cover more than I could) and that I didn't want to stop bringing to you 'cause I really wanted to do these poses and I spent a lot of time working on them to finish them. Why? Because they are action poses, and action poses always require a little more of work, since I have to pay attention to the strength of the caracters's movements, the movement itself, the trajectory and that everything looks good and without glitches. Furthermore, since there are poses with a wolf involved, it gives even more work, since the wolf rig has had problems since it came out and has to be worked on more than usual.

As I just said, these poses were quite complicated to do and yet I am not entirely satisfied (I feel that I could have done more or something better to convey what I wanted, but I simply did not find a way to do it, to bring you a real fight between a wolf and a vampire, maybe I missed more poses? maybe different positions? I don't know, but for now this is it...) despite that, I hope you like them and can use them to tell your wonderful fantasy stories.

As with all my werewolf packs, this posepack has 2 versions, this first version (V1) works with Natalia Auditore's werewolf costume, and the other version (V2, that you can download here) works with the werewolf rig from the werewolf game pack. Use the version you like the most, all the poses are the same.

Here is the posepack descripcion:

----------

What is on it?

12 Duo poses (Made with 2 human rigs) + 3 All in one.

What do you need?

Andrew's poses player

Teleport any sim by Scumbumbo or Mccc by deaderpool.

Natalia Auditore's werewolf costume

Instructions on the original post.

Honestly, I'm relieved. This game was still looking so rough and I'd feel much more comfortable with a June release than this coming out in 6 weeks.

I was watching a video from SatchoSims* and he talked about how LBY is more just a compilation of gameplay features without any gameplay and he definitely pinpointed my main issue with the game despite my excitement for it. I just don't know what I'm going to DO or what I will want to do because they haven't really done a good job of explaining the rules and structures and goals of the game (aka what the game is about).

I'm still excited for it and will definitely play it in June and am eager to check out the modding tools but yeah, what are we doing?

The Sims was a time management game. You had to figure your shit out and meet your basic needs all while juggling other mini challenges and responsibilities and TRY to become successful which would then unlock cool shit to buy or do that you would have the time to do because the money and rewards and perks you grinded for allowed you to do it.

And then TS2 improved on that by focusing on interpersonal relationships and making that more complex so that Sims felt more unique but also had to focus more on mental health and well-being and the drama that comes with interacting with other people.

Then TS3 took that even farther by basically unleashing chaos all around you with an open world so you have less control over what is going on so while you are grinding away to create a dream house for the Sim you want to marry and grow old with, you head over to the park and see your future spouse making out with some asshole in zebra print pants! And then on top of that, they deepened skills and hobbies so Sims have soooo much to do so that life goals are so much more diverse (though I will admit this came at the expense of interpersonal relationships). People often say that they wish TS3 had TS2's hobby system but in my opinion, it not only does but it's infinitely much better than TS2's. I would argue that TS3 at its core is a game about hobbies and interests.

I love that LBY seems to be wanting to improve on TS3 (because TS4 definitely didn't) and give us a true life simulator but I still don't understand what the game is about. They show off how many traits they have and how we can mod in our own traits but what do the traits means? If a character has a Difficult Childhood trait, how is that going to affect their ability to form relationships, fall in love, be a good parent? They said we could have truly homeless characters to play Rags to Riches challenges. That's awesome! Can we see that? How does the economic system work? Could it be integrated, for example, where household taxes and bills actually go towards community development? Like THIS is gameplay. I don't want to see another treasure trove video or someone doing work tasks. Those are features, not core gameplay and if it is then I'm afraid Rod Humble is making TS4 competitor, not TS3 which would be a shame.

*I don't know if I like him or not, but he has good viewpoints compared to the other high-profile Sims 4 YouTubers who at this point are practically on the Maxis payroll desperately trying to pretend that game is interesting because it literally pays their bills 😭😭

dijon: an EA blonde hair override - now with high school years!

Lemme just put it out there: Morgyn Ember deserves better hair. It took a while, but I went and made a bunch. tl;dr: you can download the recolors here on SFS and see previews/info here.

This was supposed to be a simple mod to pretty up my Rite of Ascension screenshots, but EA’s default blonde looks like it belongs on a sad, soggy sandwich and I decided not to stop there. I came up with something closer to Dijon mustard than yellow - a better color for a fancier sandwich. Also, better hair.

Please keep in mind - this is an override pack. It replaces the default blonde in the game with my recolor, which means that any blonde sims already in the game will have their hair updated. Please let me know if you have any problems!

Download all [SFS]

Base game only [SFS]

Eyebrows only [SFS]

Eyebrows aren't included with the base game package. Make sure you grab both.

Everything is divided up by pack, and needs to be downloaded separately. Only download the ones for the packs you own.

To go back to yellow hair, just remove my packages from your mods folder.

Feel free to tag me! I'd love to see what you do with this.

Don't put my stuff behind a paywall.

If you want to make your own Dijon recolors, you can download a photoshop or affinity template here. Do whatever you'd like as long as you respect cc hair makers' TOUs when it comes to recolors.

**Please note: I do not own every pack. You can check here to see which packs I've finished and which ones I don't own. I will update as I buy more packs, and I can give instructions on how to make your own recolors for anyone interested.

@maxismatchccworld @s4library @public-ccfinds @mmfinds

VENEER TECH+ MOD

So.... I'm sure y'all know by now...

I hit 20 members on Patreon a couple weeks ago, and to celebrate it, I released a content dump. It had really small CC in there, but one of the things included was a career mod I had made. Because that was the thing I spent the most time on, I posted about it on Twitter, and it did a lot better than I thought it would.

Now there's like 230 more of you and it's kind of one of my staple mods. 😭

I seriously want to thank y'all for all the love and support you've given me over these past few weeks. This still feels so surreal and I'm not fully able to articulate how I feel, but I appreciate you all so, so much.

After getting some ideas, I decided to expand the mod even further. Now, along with the career, you get 2 traits, corresponding pie menus, a rabbithole interaction, and a second version of the career with altered wages. Enjoy!

TRAITS

Veneer Tech

Were you the child who gave their parents makeovers they didn't have the heart to tell you were bad? Do you want to feel as important as a doctor but don't want to waste your time on boring topics like gum disease? Are you a sadist? If you fall into any - or all - of these categories, you'll love being a veneer tech. Just because you ain't on some board doesn't mean you can't make board money! All you really need is some glue, gloves, and Invisalign, anyway! Hell, if people cared about taking advantage of people, half the businesses out now would be closed. Shops shut all the way up. You deserve to get your bag too, right? ...maybe your first investment should be a lawyer.

Located in Lifestyle

Young Adult - Adult

Finessed

Description is a surprise since it's new!

Gameplay Trait

Child - Adult

30+ buffs for each trait

Custom icons

Base game compatible (BGC)

Finessed trait is sad asl, I'm not even gonna lie 😭

Veneer Tech trait goes along with the veneer tech career, which means certain career buffs reference that specific mod

How to give sims the Finessed trait:

To give sims the 'Finessed' trait, you have to use the Veneer Tech introduction. Once the introduction is used, target sims (the sims you're talking to) will automatically get the trait. That's if it's positive, though...

Veneer Tech sims will get between $250-$500 for each positive introduction!

PIE MENUS

Five interactions for Veneer Techs, four interactions for Finessed sims

Both located in More Choices

Custom Pie Menu icon

Not going to spoil the buffs for these, but I do hope you guys have fun with them. <3

COMPUTER INTERACTIONS

Located in More Choices

Exposing the Veneer Tech and Announcing a Sale are one hour

Updating Terms of Service is two hours

Hosting a Seminar is two to four hours

Veneer techs get $5,000 and a small follower gain from hosting a seminar and $200 simoleons from announcing a sale, while Finessed sims also get a follower gain from exposing scammers.

RABBITHOLE

Get Veneers Removed...

You're in pain. You're in agony. You're in a perpetual purgatory of stank breath. And you want out!

Under Travel, Finessed sims now have the option to get their veneers removed:

They'll scroll for a little bit to check in with an actual dentist before heading out for three to four hours.

Once they come back, the Finessed trait will be removed and they can start a new, scam free life

Celebratory buff and notification

Currently free, though you guys know I love realism... >:)

VENEER TECH CAREER (LOWERED WAGES)

The same career, just with lowered (better) wages.

When I first made the mod, I forgot that the Simoleons per hour were... well, hourly. I don't know why, like if I was tired or something, but that lead to the top level in the career giving sims $60,000 a day, which means $420,000 a WEEK... and since there's usually 4 weeks in an in-game calendar year that means $1,680,000 a YEAR...

I know veneer techs get a lot of money, but at some point this gets absurd. 😭

So I altered the hourly wages a bit. They're still wayyy more than average sims get for their jobs, but not like $21,000,000~ every human year.

Level 1 -> $250 (from $500)

Level 2 -> $500 (from $1,000)

Level 3 -> $1,000 (from $5,000)

Level 4 -> $5,000 (from $20,000)

Celebrity Scammer Branch -> $10,000 / M-F (from $50,000 / M-SN)

Seminar Leader Branch -> $7,500 (from $25,000)

If you still want the higher wages, they're still available with the original mod! <3 This is just for people who want a little more of a challenge. (emphasis on little, lol)

Last but not least, the original mod:

VENEER TECH CAREER (ORIGINAL)

This is a base game rabbithole career with four levels and two branches.

I do hope y'all enjoy!

Levels:

Barbershop Baby

You just got your online certificate from the 6 hour seminar your favorite TikToker hosted and are now ready to service the streets with your dental expertise. The only problem is you don't have no expertise and are not a dentist.

But if that didn't stop your "mentor", why should it stop you? Try and make something shake for a little while. Worst comes to worst, you gotta flee the state... or the country...

...you really should look into that lawyer, friend.

Shade Room Famous

Due to the rampant amount of horror stories you have, your face is now plastered all over The Shade Room, the largest urban gossip blog in all of the US.

But to your surprise and mine tool - it seems like the saying about all attention is true, because people are now lined up your block waiting for the Smilez special.

Guess all you can do now is make sure your career lasts longer than your teeth.

Viral on TikTok

Fame looks nice on you, doesn't it? At least online fame does. After getting some shine on Shade Room, Hollywood Unlocked, The Neighborhood Talk, and even more, you've managed to rack up one million followers on TikTok. You're almost ready to release your own seminar!

Be careful, though, newfound fame brings newfound opposition. And with your multiple medical and ethical violations it won't take much to get unplugged.

The Plug

After all of the hours of hard scamming you put in, you've done it. You've got the fame, the fortune, the mid-tier rapper/influencer connections, and about 21 different YouTube videos about your crimes.

The only thing to do now is sit back, count up, and not get indicted.

And hey, if that doesn't work? At least you're making enough for a one way to Jamaica.

Branches:

Celebrity Scammer

Now, about that mid-tier clientele you had...

They are all big time now. And so are you! You've 'hustled' and 'grinded' your way to the big leagues.

No more barbershops. You're doing Future's teeth in the back of your mansion. Their teeth may decay, but your star certainly isn't!

It doesn't even matter how many people say you scamming. Or how many horror stories have turned into full on nightmares.

You're the Dr. Miami of teeth now. Can't nobody say anything about that!

Seminar Leader

Now, about that seminar you said you were gon start...

You did. In fact, the only two options on your website are to book and to, well, book.

In doing so, not only have you managed to stack up even more, but now you look wise and charitible to 5% of Instagram users. Win win!

It doesn't matter if most people think you still scamming. Or the fact you don't send out all the invites to people who signed up.

You're a business person now. Can't nobody say nothing about that!

*+.~

I definitely want to expand this in the future (keyword: future 😭), but I'm happy where this is, especially for my first major gameplay mod!

Let me know if you have any issues! 💕

Thank you to:

Dessims4 for her Trap House build; you can find their Patreon here

Jasmine Raditz for her Motel build; you can find her Patreon here and YouTube here

SimmerDownDee for the "wobbly/falling teeth" buff; you can find her Tumblr here

@mylittleniesh for "Jaw Makers University"; you can find their Twitter here

SpareKiy for the "veneer breath" buff; you can find her builds here and Instagram here

DanitySimmer for her modding tutorials; you can find her Patreon here and YouTube here

Mirai for their modding tutorial; you can find their Patreon here and Tumblr here

...and a big one to y'all for waiting so long!

Now go wreck havoc for me!!

IMPORTANT!!

IF YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL VENEER TECH MOD FROM THIS POST, YOU DO NOT NEED TO REDOWNLOAD! The files are included here so people won't have to go post-to-post, the mod itself is completely unchanged.

You'll need XML Injector by Scumbumbo for some interactions. I've included the download here, but I'd also recommend going to his page to show support <3

You can find it on my Patreon:

Change it Up Legacy - a new attempt to get me excited about the Sims 4 again

Hello everybody! Today I bring you a new set of legacy rules. A challenge that is mostly a compilation of different challenges I have tried over the years, and the things that the game has given us to make things more challenging or make things easier. Hopefully this will all feel balanced and make for an enjoyable experience! And some of the following rules and goals are inspired by some lovely simmers here in the community, so I challenge you to guess what is related to who, like a little easter egg hunt ;D But of course, please be respectful when you do so. I do not intend to copy anyone, and the only people that own the features used in this challenge are the game devs that came up with the idea and implemented them into the game.

*THIS CHALLENGE IS WRITTEN ASSUMING THAT YOU HAVE MOST OR ALL THE PACKS. THIS IS YOUR OFFICIAL NOTICE OF THAT FACT, SO PLEASE DO NOT BE UPSET THAT I AM USING SO MANY DIFFERENT PACK FEATURES! I AM SORRY!!!*

Now, onto the challenge!

UNIVERSAL RULES:

You may use whatever mods you want, as long as you play fairly and try to avoid cheating as much as possible. I personally use UI Cheats a lot to fix my sims’ needs whenever I do not have the things needed to fix said needs, or I am simply out of patience, so that is perfectly allowed here 👌 it would be hipocritical of me to forbid that here.

If a generation allows you to start with a house you may use money cheats to build that house, if needed. For example, of the items you need for your sims’ survival are expensive due to pack restrictions, you are allowed to cheat money in to have those items if you want. HOWEVER, if the generation specifically mentions that you must start with nothing, then the only money cheat you are allowed to use is one to remove money.

Even if a generation specifies a number of offspring, you may have at least 1 precautionary heir, especially if you have mods that can cause sudden sim death, like healthcare redux with the deadly deseases package.

*NEW* This challenge will also feature building packs restrictions of my own. These restrictions will be written down assuming that the person reading has most or all packs. I know that is not always the case, and if you do not have the packs mentioned then that is okay. Play with what you have, or you can even view the pack restrictions as merely suggestions. Basegame is ALWAYS implied as one of the Restrictions. I’m not going to force you to build without basegame lol

Also regarding the building pack restrictions: decorations, like clutter items, and skill building items from other packs are not restricted. Only the main furniture in a sim’s home falls under the pack restrictions. *IT ALSO DOES NOT APPLY TO CAREER REWARDS*

Gen 1 - The Consumer

(Building pack restrictions: City Living, Get to Work, Dream Home Decorator, High School Years)

Some may call you a shoppaholic, you’d rather call yourself a seasoned consumer! You know the best places to shop for clothes, furniture, decor, even food and ingredients! But you still thought that your own clients had better things than you, and that fact annoyed you greatly...

Aspiration: Mansion Baron or Perfectly Prestine (Bust the Dust)

Suggested Traits (you do not need to use these): Jealous, Kleptomaniac, Materialistic

Skills (reach at least level 5): Photography and Charisma

Career: Dream Home Decorator or Have your own Retail Store

Goals:

Start with an empty lot and no money. You may scavange for collectibles and other things, AND get a job, but you must start with no physical belongings. (If you really want to, you can start with 1 small tent or 1 sleeping bag, that come with Outdoor Retreat and Growing Together respectively.)

Have at least 5000 simolleons before you build your own house. You may upgrade and renovate this later once you have more money, of course.

Use the Retail Stores, Flea Market, and ThriftTea stores to buy clothes and furniture for your home. If you do not have access to these, you may choose to Swipe objects from homes and community lots instead. (If you have Get Together you may for a club with just your sim and have the ‘Swipe Objects’ club activity. This allowed you to swipe when a club gathering is active, even if you do not have the kleptomaniac trait or the skill needed to swipe objects.)

*Specifics for previous point* When Thrifting clothes with HSY you may either choose to put on and take off the outfit you bought every time, or you may recreate that outfit in create a sim, as long as you keep the physical in game inventory object version of the outfit. You may not sell it unless you also remove the outfit from your sim in CAS.

If you go with being a Home Decorator as your career, you must ‘steal’ at least one object from your client’s homes. Using backspace on an object instead of deleting it will put that object in YOUR household inventory, and you may use it to furnish your own house. You cannot sell these items for money.

However, if you choose to have your own Retail Store, you must instead get to know your customers and swipe furniture and items from their homes.

You may buy furniture from the catalog once you have a home that is worth at least 20K AND has the following rooms/things: A designated kitchen, a seperate full bathroom, a seperate proper bedroom with a double bed, a living room with a TV and a standing or wall bookshelf, fully floored and wallpapered interior and exterior. (Once you have all of these things you may replace them with more aesthetic versions of the same items, as long as they are not more expensive than the original.)

You may marry and/or have children with whichever sim you wish, there are no restrictions on that here. However, you must have more than 1 child, not counting with precautionary heirs if you wish to have them. Once you have children you must strive to complete the Voidcritters Collection. Your children want expensive game cards, and who are you to say no to that? (if you have Kids Room Stuff, if not that is okay and you can skip this goal or choose a different collection to complete. And there are mods that let older sims play Voidcritters as well.)

The next heir must be the eldest child. Gender assigned at birth does not matter.

Gen 2 - The Crafter

(Building pack restrictions: Eco Lifestyle, Outdoor Retreat, Werewolves, Jungle Adventure)

You and your siblings’ physical needs were always met. A bed to sleep on, food on the table, toys to play with, etc. Everything was bought, everything was outsourced. But what would happen if it wasn’t? What if you took it uppon yourself to fullfil those same needs with things made by your own two hands? Well, there is only one way to find out!

(This generation can get pretty tiring, specially with the leveling up of skills to make items, so please take breaks whenever you start feeling frustrated as a player!)

Aspiration: Master Maker (Eco Lifestyle) or Lord/Lady or the Knits (Nifty Knitting) or Painter Extraordinaire

Suggested Traits: Maker, Perfectionist, Freegan

Skills: Handiness, Fabrication, and/or Painting

Career: Odd Jobs or Freelancer (any branch)

Goals:

Start this generation with a small, cabin-like house. Perhaps even a shed, for storytelling ideas.

Have a sibling move in with you early on for at least 1 sim year. You may not shorten the calender time to make this go faster.

Woodwork, Fabricate, or Knit most of the decor and furniture items in your home, making at LEAST 1 item per sim day. Any item.

You knew your parent stole many things from others, so instead you want to give back to the community around you. Give handmade gifts to your friends, or even to strangers if you’d like. These gifts can even be just a flower if you have a home garden (though it is not mandatory to have one).

You may renovate/upgrade your home each time you have at least 6k in reserve, though of course it is recommended that you have more so that you don’t become broke after every renovation. (Alternatively, each 6k you have in reserve equals 1 medium room in your house, so if you had 12k you could build 2 rooms.)

You may choose to buy items from the catalog if they are things that you cannot craft yourself, or that you cannot craft YET. However, if it is something you are able to craft at a later date, you must substitute the bought item with the crafted item. The only exception to this is wall decorations, which you cannot buy from the catalogue at all, and must always paint or photograph yourself.

If you have Growing Together, or Wonderful/Wicked Whims, or the Chemistry System Mod, you must at least date a sim you have Bad/Terrible Compatibility with or a sim that you find Very/Extremely Unattractive. You can choose your own reason why this relationship came to be, be it good or bad reasons.

You must either complete the Omiscan Treasure Collection (Jungle Adventure), the Ancient Omiscan Artifacts Collection (Jungle Adventure), or the Simmie Capsule Collection (Snowy Escape, chance of death). Pick only 1 collection to complete and display all the items in your home.

The next heir must be the youngest offspring regardless of gender at birth. If you have twins or triplets as the youngest you must either make a poll or spin a wheel to choose the heir.

Gen 3 - The Baker

(Building Pack Restriction: Cottage Living, Cool Kitchen Stuff, Dine Out, Tiny Living)

You didn’t have many strong opinions on how to live your life, at least not when it came to material goods. Your grandparent was a shopping fiend, your parent practically build your childhood home with their own hands, but you? You just wanted any roof over your head and some good food on the table. That should be enough, right?

Aspiration: Master Chef or City Native (City Living)

Suggested Traits: Lazy, Foodie OR Glutton (they are opposite traits), Squeamish

Skills: Cooking, Gourmet Cooking, and/or Baking

Career: Culinary (one aspiration requires it) and/or Own a Restaurant (Dine Out, can get tiring and annoying) and/or Food Critic (City Living)

Goals:

Start this generation in a tiny home, bonus awesome points if the house looks unfinished until you have enough money to fully renovate it from top to bottom.

You may open your own restaurant, if you wish, and you can try to have your own restaurant while you work in the Culinary career or the Critic career if you want to. It is time consuming and stressful, but it technically can be done.

If you choose the City Native aspiration you must learn all the city recipes. This is technically not an in game collection, but I suggest you treat it as such and keep track of the kinds of food you learn.

Focus on ‘cooking’ baked goods. In the ‘Cook’ and ‘Gourmet Cooking’ sections there are many cakes and other baked goods to choose from, especially with Cottage Living. Anything that is artificially sweet or needs to be baked counts for this goal.

Cook as many emotional recipes as you can. Although I do not know if there is a real list of these, the emotional recipes I know are as follows: Flirty Heart Cookies (flirty), High Energy Protein Platter (energized), Silly Gummy Bear Pancakes (playful), Angry Flaming Spaghetti (angry).

Expand your house only vertically. As in adding floors only above or below the existing house floors. Take note that the game only allows you to go 4 floors up and 4 floors down. You may make the floors above and bellow bigger than the previous floor, but after you are done building it you are not allowed to add new rooms to the same level, and instead must make a new level.

Whichever career you choose you must never choose to Work Hard. You can only choose to either work normally, Slack Off, or choose any other interactions besides Work Hard. Additionally, you may ignore any daily tasks the career gives you and focus only on promotion tasks. This will make getting up in the career a bit harder, so you may choose to change or ignore this goal if it becomes too annoying or time consuming.

Complete the Postcard Collection (possible via Pen Pal interaction on computers) and fall in love with your pen pal. Although, the Pen Pal system doesn’t generate an actual sim to be your pen pal, so you will have to either make your own sim, grab a sim off the gallery, or grab a random townie, to fill that role. And it is love at first sight <3

The next heir is a middle child. If your sim did not have more than two children then your favorite is the next heir.

Gen 4 - The Gardener

(Building Pack Restrictions: My Wedding Stories, Seasons, Romantic Garden Stuff, Laundry Day Stuff)

The mere concept of love makes you feel sick, and pregnancy even more so. You’re happy for others that find love and start families, but you’d rather not have that for yourself. The only life you want to nurture is your plants’ lives, but perhaps fate has some slightly different plans for you.

Aspiration: Renaissance Sim or The Curator

Suggested Traits: Unflirty, Vegetarian, Hates Children OR Loner

Skills: Gardening, Guitar and Mixology

Career: Conservationist (Island Living)

Goals:

Start with nothing except 2 seed packets and the Wishing Well. These seed packets can be seasonal seeds if you have Seasons.

Prioritize your garden over your own needs, having a fully decorated enclosed garden before a fully built house. You may buy tents and ‘pee bushes’ until you have enough money to build a fully functional house.

Pretend that any decorative plants in your home were grown by your sim by making a Flower Arrangement before buying a new plant from the catalog. You may sell the Arrangement after buying the decorative plant, but you must always make the arrangements with flowers you grew yourself.

Make wishes at the Wishing Well at least once a week. You can make a wish every day, and there are many wishes to choose from, so have fun deciding what to wish for and dealing with the results! (There are many outcomes for these wishes, and the most likely outcome is determined by how the face on the wishing well looks in the moment)

Your house must be as beautiful as your garden, no matter the price. You must decorate your home further every time you have the money to do so, even if it leaves back at very few simolleons.

If you have Eco Lifestyle spend as much free time as you can in Community Gardens, a type of Community Space that came with the pack. You are allowed to Shift-Click on the Neighbourhood Projects board to instantly inact the Community Space projects.

Never marry, but one day ‘accidentally’ wish for a child at the Wishing Well. You can choose wether this generation’s sim changes their views on children and becomes a loving parent, or ends up becoming a mostly absent parent with a grudge against the next generation. (The second option is obviously horrible, and neglect is no joke, but it could be an interesting storytelling point.)

Complete the Holiday Cracker Plushie Collection or the Snowglobe Collection, your choice.

No matter what, the next generation is the Wishing Well child, regardless of what child the Well gave you. If you got multiple children from the wishing well, the next heir is the one with either the worst traits or the worst relationship with the parent.

Gen 5 - The Ghost

(Building pack restrictions: Vampires, Realm of Magic, Paranormal Stuff, Strangerville)

You were never really human. Sure, you look it, but you spawned out of a magic wishing well! Or so your parent told you. And you believe it, cause what else would you believe? However, this lead you to feeling a bit lost. If you’re not a human then what’s stopping you from doing things humans won’t do? What’s stopping you from just disappearing, or going to find a fantasy land, or go live in some ooky spooky mansion? That’s right, nothing!

Aspiration: Jungle Explorer (Jungle Adventure)

Suggested Traits: Non-Committal, Self-Assured, Over-Achiever

Skills: Vampire Lore, Selvadoradian Culture, Medium

Career: Write and publish books for royalties. You may also sell collectibles if needed

Goals:

Move into one of the game pack occult worlds. If none are available to you then you can move into any world you wish. You are allowed to have a house to start off with but it must not exceed 20k in value.

Explore the Selvadoradian Temple at least once. It’s an ancient, almost haunted temple, who doesn’t like that??

Be friends with at least 1 sim from each occult type. If these are not available to you, you can pretend using mods and editing sims in the world to look more non-human.

You may have an occult child if you wish. though it is not obligatory.

Have a bookshelf filled with copies of your own books. After you sell the books your sim writes they are lost forever, so you have to create a copy of them before publishing them!

Visit at least 1 secret world. There are 5 mystical secret worlds/lots in the sims 4: Forgotten Grotto (Basegame), Sylvan Glade (Basegame), The Deep Woods (Outdoor Retreat), Planet Sixam (Get to Work), and The Magic Realm (Realm of Magic). Technically the Mt. Komorebi Upper Mountain is also a ‘secret lot’ but that does not count for this goal.

Optional and something I just think would be interesting in game: Date most occult sims you encounter, but then ‘ghost’ them without breaking up with them when you find someone else or you feel like changing things up.

Complete the Alien Collection (Get to Work) or the Crystals Collection (Basegame). Your choice.

The next heir must NOT be an occult, and they can be adopted if needed.

Gen 6 - The 'Physician’

(Building pack restriction: Spa Day, Decor to the Max, Discover University, Movie Hangout Stuff)

The limitations and capabilities of the sim body always fascinated you. Medicine and Science go hand in hand, so why not try your hand at both? Some might call your methods ‘creepy’ or ‘immoral’ or even ‘mad’, but you’re just doing what the others are scared to do! You’re asking the real life questions here, and getting the answers your way!

Aspiration: Body Builder or Inner Peace (Spa Day)

Suggested Traits: Erratic, Genius, Loyal

Skills: Fitness, Logic, Wellness

Career: Scientist or Doctor (though I recommend Scientist for more fun)

Goals:

Have 2 college degrees: Biology and Physics. I HEAVELY suggest you get the shorter college degrees mod to achieve this, or you can play with aging off and finish the degrees as they are in the vanilla game.

Focus on experimenting on sims. This is more easily achievable in the Scientist career of course, where you can give serums to sims, use the FreezeRay and upgraded FreezeRay features on sims, eventually Clone Sims, etc. In the Doctor career you can gather dnd samples and run series of tests on your patients; although running tests on sims that don’t need them may cause you to be demoted, but it’s all in the name of sim science!

Play pranks on your friends and roommates (if you have any while in university). Interactions like ‘Trick with hand buzzer’, ‘Slap em Silly’, ‘Scare’, ‘Claim to be Criminal Mastermind’, ‘Flash Crazy Eyes’, are all applicable for this goal. You may also choose to play with other sims’ emotions by treating them completely different every time you meet up with them; be friendly one time, then suddently start yelling and arguing with them, flirt with them next time, etc. Even socializing can be full of experiments :)

You may date whoever you want in this generation, even marry someone if you’d like, but you can never truly break up or divorce anyone. They must disappear under mysterious circumstances (And maybe, by coincidence, you acquire a new frog at the same time... just saying...hehehe)

Have multiple enemies and a Bad or Horrible Reputation (comes with Get Famous). People don’t agree with your methods, but you don’t really care. Your creative visions make sense to you, and that is all that matters.

Try to visit Spas and Gyms in your free time. You don’t need your body to be the pinacle of perfection, but it’s always nice to get a little pampered or blow off some steam!

Complete the Microscope Prints Collection or the Frogs Collection. Breeding frogs can be a part of your science too!

If you go into the Scientist Career the next heir is a clone of your sim (you may age down the clone and raise them as your child, i believe this is possible with cas.fulleditmode. But if not, then only make the clone once you’ve finished the rest of the goals). If you chose the Doctor career the next heir is a ‘Science Baby’, an option that was added to basegame in a free update alongside the infants. (You can pretend your sim stole a dna sample from one of their patients to create this baby, if you’d like.)

Gen 7 - The Socializer

(Building Pack Restrictions: Get Together, Backyard Stuff, Perfect Patio Stuff, Fitness Stuff)

Your parent was... Questionable at best. Their ideals always rubbed you the wrong way, but you just tried to ignore it and focus on your own path. But you ended up with some curious interests yourself, though they are definitely not as disturbing as your parent’s!

Aspiration: Friend of the World, Neighbourhood Confidant, or Angling Ace

Suggested Traits: Loves The Outdoors, Outgoing, Slob

Skills: Dancing, Singing, Fishing

Career: Politician (City Living) or Law (Discover University)

Goals:

You are allowed to start anywhere, but you can only take half of your parent’s money with you when you move out.

Don’t go into a career just yet. Instead, spend at least half of your Young Adulthood focusing on your skills and building a social group. You can make clubs where the club activities are the skills you need to level up if it helps.

Have a secret room in your home where you put up Mounted Fish you catch. This room must be locked to everyone but your sim and you must have at least 2 of the same fish before mounting one of them.

Once you actually go into a career, work super hard and do as much as you can to get promoted fast. Things that help with promotions include finishing daily tasks, going to work in a good mood, and being friends with your coworkers. So have fun!

Have a fling with your Boss, unless you are at the top of your career at this moment or there is no one at a higher level than you. If that happens you can have a fling with any coworker you want. It does not have to turn into anything serious, but it can if you want it to.

Have a fun backyard decked out for parties and friend gatherings, and also lots of space for your future children to play in. A nice place to come sit and relax after stressful days at work!

Go fishing at least once in every single world that has water. You do not need to fish in every fishing spot, that would be a bit too much, but you can if you want to!

Complete the Fish Collection. Some packs added more and more fish to this, but you only need to finish the basegame fish one. You may try to complete the whole thing if you wish, but only the basegame ones are strictly mandatory.

The next heir must have an opposite trait to this generation’s sim. Birth order or gender at birth does not matter.

Gen 8 - The Imposter

(Building Pack Restrictions: Cats and Dogs, Vintage Glamour Stuff, Bowling Night Stuff, Growing Together)

Fighting for what’s right and helping those who can’t fight for themselves, that’s the morals you grew up with. But what if you didn’t? What if you didn’t want to do that? What if you wanted to watch the world burn? The flames would be so beautiful, don’t you think? But nobody can suspect this. We must keep up the appearance of good morality, or else...

Aspiration: Chief of Mischief or Villainous Valentine

Suggested Traits: Evil, and whatever traits are opposite to their parent’s traits

Skills: Mischief, Acting, Research and Debate

Career: Detective (Get to Work, Special Agent Branch)

Goals:

In the Detective Career you must purposefully befriend the criminals you encounter, both at the station and the ones you arrest yourself. You are a croocked cop after all, this is the best place to network with petty criminals.

Fall in love and have a child with one of the inmates early on in your career. This child will not be the heir, but once they reach childhood they must have the Kleptomaniac trait and perform small robberies for you. (You may once again use the club activity ‘cheat’ to swipe objects regardless of skill level). You can either sell the items they steal or have them on display in your home.

Constantly debate your friends and coworkers. I am unsure if you can do this without the debate podium, but if you can’t then you can cheat to place one in the police station using the bb.enablefreebuild cheat. You may also have one at your home if you’d like.

Use other sims for your advantage, being friends with people you can steal from, ask for loans from, marry to take their money and possessions, etc.

Always play ‘Bad Cop’ when interrogating a sim you’ve arrested. In the Interrogation mini game there are three categories you can choose from: Good Cop, Bad Cop, Evidence. You cannot use Good Cop interactions and may only use Evidence actions if the Bad Cop ones are getting you nowhere.

If you have mods that allow your sim to commit crimes, go ahead and commit some small ones while you’re not at work. However, this is obviously not necessary.

Eventually fall in love with another detective and marry them, but they can never know of your horrible actions and connections. And if they do, well, I’ll let you decide how to deal with that... [ominous]

Complete the Feathers Collection (Cats and Dogs, pet needed I believe) or the Minerals Collection.

The next heir is the child of the detective you fall in love with.

Gen 9 - The Big Cheese

(Building Pack Restrictions: Parenthood, Spooky Stuff, Toddler Stuff, Kids Room Stuff)

People always took life so seriously around you, why not just relax and do what makes you happy? Life is both short and long, so there is no reason why you should spend it doing something you hate. Just live your dreams! Dress like 13 year old you wanted to dress! Go after your dream job even if other think it’s silly! Go for it!!

Aspiration: Grilled Cheese (secret aspiration unlocked by eating 3 grilled cheeses consecutively)

Suggested traits: Geek, Goofball, Childish

Skills: Rocket Science, Bowling, Juice Fizzing

Career: Part Time Jobs and selling crafted or found items

Goals:

You may start wherever you want, but I’d recommend having an ‘RV’ as your home. You must live in at least 5 different worlds during this generation, and having a home that looks like an RV can help with the immersion that your sim travels to these locations instead of constantly buying new houses.

Have a different part time job every time you move, and you can even be Self-Employed if you wish.

Never have your partners move in with you, or you move in with your partners, and you may only marry someone if they have a real home. So sims that are ‘Not In World’ do not count as marriage candidates unless they later move in somewhere with Neighbourhood Stories.

You are not allowed to make your RV bigger unless you completely build a new one that looks different from the original. However, you are allowed to have a front/back yard as big or small as you’d like.

I suggest spending most of your time on community lots that have the skillbuilding items you need instead of having them at your home lot, like Maker Spaces for juice fizzing or Geekcon for rocket science, but you may have those items on your lot anyway if you wish.

You may move in and have children with a partner once you’ve married them (see point 3). You may choose between living in your RV all together or moving into your partner’s house. You can keep your part time job/self employment, but now you are allowed to also be a stay at home parent/partner or get a full time job, your choice.

Have the most loving relationship with your children and spouse, always performing positive interactions with them. You are happy here, and your goal of living your life to the fullest on your own terms has been fulfilled.

Complete the Magic Beans Collection and become a plant sim. There are mods that make this change permanent but they are not needed unless you want that outcome.

The next heir must be part of a set of triplets or more. (Having more than 3 babies at once can be done with mods)

Gen 10 - The Engineer

(Building Pack Restrictions: Moschino Stuff, Snowy Escape, Get Famous, Kits)

Digging around in some old family files you discovered letters and notebooks written by your Great Great Grandparent: A doctor-scientist that performed unethical experiments on other people to test the limits of sim bodies. That revelation was... enlightening. And it had the oposite effect on you than what most people would expect. You rejected the weakness and limitations of sim bodies, so you dedicated yourself to machines, your one true love.

Aspiration: Bestselling Author

Suggested Traits: Ambitious, Creative, Geek

Skills: Robotics, Programming, Video Games

Career: Engineer (Discover University) or Tech Guru

Goals:

Live with your siblings during the Young Adult life stage. You may move them out once they all age up, or have the heir move out on their own instead.

Have a basement where all your Robotics and Programming equipment is stored. It doesn’t have to be creepy or anything, but it can be if you wish.

You may look for romantic love if you wish, but it is not mandatory for this generation. Robots and mechanisms are more important to you after all.

Write books dedicated to your inventions and engineering discoveries, using these for added royalties each day.

Have very little real friends and always go out partying by yourself whenever you feel lonely/the social need is too low.

Give Robotics, Programming, and Video Gaming classes at the Universities. You are able to do this once you have a higher skill level, travelling to one of the universities, and clicking on the buildings until you find the ‘Give guest lecture’ interaction. This will also give you some money.

Make multiple robots and at least 1 Servo in your lifetime, though you may create more if you wish. (I will allow you to Shift+Click on the Robotics Station to ‘Spawn Crafting Supplies’, as they are a PAIN to make by hand. You may only do this for Servos)

Complete the My Sims Trophies Collection and have them on display in your home, color coordenated in rainbow order.

By going into cas.fulleditmode you can change a Servo’s family relationship with the other sims in the household. Your servos are your children, and although this is the last generation if you wish to play it again with the same family or merge this challenge with another one you may start with one of the Servos. I believe there are cheats and mods to either humanize the Servo or give them more depth, but I will leave that decision up to you.

And that concludes the Change it Up Legacy Challenge!

Damn, even just writting this was a challenge and a half, I’m exhausted... I ran out of steam in the last few generations, so I hope they are not too disappointing. Hopefully I will have the time and energy to play this soon, but I am currently somewhat looking for jobs at the moment so I might be taking a bit of a longer hiatus. Still!! I wanted to give you all this to try out and have fun with. You can stop at any time, you don’t need to finish it all in one sitting, and the most important thing is to have fun!

Happy Simming!!!

#change it up legacy #bobapplesimslegacy #new legacy challenge rules!!!#enjoy!! i cant believe this took me so fucking long to finish #i am dead. reduced to atoms
