"Strength In Numbers (Bunny Avalanche)"  12 x 12 inches  acrylic gouache on  2023 

 Kozy - We just sent this painting off to be in an exhibition at corey helford gallery in Los Angeles. Bunnies have been a recurring character in our artwork since the very first year of our career working together.  Dan sketched up this illustration in December as the year of the Tiger (2022) was drawing to a close, and the year of the Rabbit (2023) was about to begin so as to commemorate this new lunar year, as well as “celebrate the power of cooperation to overcome daunting odds!” (Those are his words, I think he just wanted to draw more rabbits for all you @kozyndan rabbit fans out there!). 

 This work was made using the same process as the “California Bunnywave” - Dan drew the lines colored it just how he imagined the final art to look in @procreateapp and then printed that illustration for me to trace the basic lines onto a 12 x 12 inch cradled board and then paint with acrylic gouache. I got use my new toy, a little USB chargeable airbrush, again for this painting. This is now my second time using an airbrush and its been fun to explore the new tool as I used it to make the snow in this painting. I tried to stick close to what Dan imagined and just got lost in the process - figuring our how to make the snow, and then all the brush painted lifework afterwards. Its actually a quite meditative process for me - and I find myself listening to a lot of meditative sort of podcasts and music while I do this kind of painting process. It was a lovely way to finish out the year! If you are interested in buying this original painting, please contact the gallery!

Final Notes

I created this challenge as a means to fulfill something I felt I wasn’t seeing in the community. I absolutely want to give credit to The Zodiac Legacy & The Not So Berry Challenge for inspiring this challenge. I wanted something that had a similar feel to both of those challenges, but could be done a little faster as you aren’t waiting for generations to age to jump into each objective. I am also extremely passionate about astrology and wanted to bring that element to the community. I also chose to make each zodiac sign very free form and open because I wanted people to feel like they could adapt their own ways of creating each sim. I may add a few more “extreme” rules as time passes and I play through it myself. 

Only after writing this challenge did I find another legacy that is slightly similar to some of my rules. It’s by Lydia88 & it can be found here you may like it if you want a more lengthy game play.

The Back Story 

🌙  = Normal Rules || ☀️ = Extreme (optional) || 🔮 = foot note

Once upon time the moon fell in love with the sun. The two, star crossed, were never meant to be. One always shadowed by the other, always missing the other, only catching small stolen kisses, and glimpses through time and space. The moon over time grew tired. She longed to be with her love. She asked the great gods and goddesses of the past what she could do to prove herself worthy to leave her post and be with her love.

The old ones, after much counsel, came to an agreement. The moon couldn’t just leave forever. Their home planet, which they all served, needed the moon’s magic light and power to survive. However there was but one other way to fuel the power of the moon. It would take the power of exactly twelve witches. One witch for each constellation that surrounds the earth. The gods of old agreed to hold her post if she would agree to ascend down to earth and birth 12 magical female 🔮 witches. She would birth them and raise them to be powerful. To surrender fractions of their magic to the greater good and to power the moon. If she could achieve this in a timely fashion, she would be free of her post to do as she would. 

The Moon goddess agreed, and was sent down to earth immediately to begin her path.

The Rules

🌙 You must create one female sim (The Moon Goddess), move her onto a bulldozed lot (you will not move from this lot, so choose your size accordingly) & immediately pull up the cheat box in game with ctrl + shift + c and type in testingcheats true, hit enter, and then type money 2000. This is the amount of simoleons you will start with as the gods/goddesses didn’t want to send you down completely empty handed.

🌙 As for your home you may do as you please. Use your 2000 simoleons as you see fit to prepare you for the task ahead.

🌙 The Moon Goddess may not have a job, her purpose is to raise 12 strong female witches. You can sell collectables, paintings, & books to make money. She may also not have any of the at home careers. It will get easier over time as the children are allowed jobs. 

☀️ EXTREME: If you want some extra fun game play, don’t allow the goddess to leave the lot unless she either brings all her children in the home with, or one of her children is of age to watch the others.

🌙 She should be family oriented and if using the zodiac mod 🔮 you can use whatever trait sign you like. I recommend Cancer as it is the most nurturing sign in the zodiac. The last trait is up to you as is the life aspiration.  Appearance is all up to you as well. You can choose to base her after the actual moon or make her as you see fit. This is the same for all children too. If it isn’t specified in the rules you are free to do as you will.

🌙 You must birth 12 female sims, one for each sign of the zodiac, and raise them to the best of her ability. If the moon goddess ages up past child birth years or dies you lose the challenge and must start over. To keep the Goddess youthful you must complete her wants and purchase the potion of youth from the in game rewards panel. Remember the potion only sets you back to the beginning of your current life stage, so get started on this as soon as possible.

🌙  If you should happen to be blessed with female twins, each are a different sign. Example: If you got twins right off the bat the 1st born twin would be Aries the second would be Taurus. Same with Triplets.

🌙 As far as baby daddies go, feel free to use any male sim in any town. The Sun and Moon do not see lust & woohoo the way us humans do. To them it is sacred, but free, and has no bounds or rules.

🌙 As for Children, you must birth 12 female sims. They must be female 🔮 as the moon is based on feminine energy. Also, you may not cheat the sex of the children. This makes the challenge much harder. If you give birth to a male baby, he will be moved out with his father immediately. You may try again with the same male sim until you have a female child.

🌙 You may not have a female child with the same sim, and you may not marry/cohabitate/have a boyfriend or girlfriend as the Sun is your one true love.

🌙 Once you’ve settled in a little, it’s time to find yourself a man and get busy! Remember, your heart is on a mission and the sooner you can birth these 12 divine beings, the sooner you can be with your love The Sun.  However, birthing these 12 magical beings is not without it’s challenges. 

🌙 Once you complete each child’s main objective, and they have aged into a young adult, you may move them out of your home to make room for everyone. You may also mod 🔮 your game to fit every household member. It is entirely up to you.

🌙 The children must be birthed in order starting with Aries and ending with Pisces.  

☀️ EXTREME: RULES FOR SEASONS (If you have the Sims 4 Seasons Expansion) - Birth each child in their corresponding season. There are two different ways you can do this:

One: Birth each child in their Elemental Season

🌸 Spring (wet becoming hot) – Air – Aquarius, Libra, Gemini

🌻 Summer (hot becoming dry) – Fire – Sagittarius, Leo, Aries

🍂 Autumn (dry becoming cold) – Earth – Virgo, Taurus, Capricorn

❄️ Winter (cold becoming wet) – Water – Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Two: Birth each child in their actual birth given season based on birthdays. Some of the zodiac are slightly “off” as the signs overlap the seasons a little. It’s usually just those on the cusp. Feel free to use your best judgment as far as seasons/dates go. Remember it is just a game, and to have fun always! I based these rules off of seasons in the Northern Hemisphere, please feel free to change them based on your seasons where you live.

🌸 Spring : (March 20th -June 20th) – Aries (March 21st – April 19th) , Taurus (April 20th – May 20th) , Gemini (May 21st – June 20th)

🌻 Summer: (June 21st – September 21st) – Cancer (June 21st – July 22nd) , Leo (July 23rd -August 22nd) , Virgo (August 23rd – September 22nd)

🍂 Autumn: (September 22nd – December 20th) – Libra(September 23rd – October 22nd) , Scorpio ( October 23rd – November 21st) , Sagittarius(November 22nd – December 21st)

❄️ Winter: (December 22nd – March 19th) – Capricorn(December 22nd – January 19th) , Aquarius (January 20th – February 18th) , Pisces (February 19th – March 20th)

🚨PLEASE NOTE: You still must go in order from Aries – Pisces no matter which option you go with! This will make your challenge significantly longer & my intention behind writing this series was for it to be a shorter challenge with the ideas of what longer challenges offer.
