The Sims 4 Celebrity/Famous Legacy Challenge!

Ok so this is my first post on a blog dedicated to a new legacy challenge that I came up with and will be playing out here, and I figured I would just explain the rules and post it so that people can follow along and can even play themselves if you’d like!

If anyone decides to play tag it with “Celebrity Legacy Challenge” so I can see & so its not mixed up with normal Legacy challenge posts.

Summary: This challenge centers around a family of famous sims, with each generation experiencing different ups and downs depending on how they chose to live their life in the public eye. Will the magic of fame and fortune make up for the tragedy it brings?

This Challenge deals with more dark themes/ tragic/ dramatic stories than challenges usually do. If that’s not your thing you probably won’t like this. But if you do like high drama then buddy you’re in the right place!

Rules: -This challenge requires the Get Famous expansion. 

-CC allowed, cheats only allowed if specified, mods allowed as long as they aren’t there to make the game easier.

-Sims are allowed to move out as Teens if their relationship with their parents turns negative. Otherwise, they may only move out as a Young Adult.

-Every Heir must max their Fame level

-The next generation begins when the next Heir moves out or turns into a Young Adult (whichever happens first).

(Optional) Mods that I use: Subject Homework mod by scarletqueenkat on Mod the Sims

Adult Skills for Children by Peterskywalker! on Mod the Sims

(18+ only) Basemental Drugs/Alcohol mod

(18+ only) Extreme Violence mod by Sacraficial

Starting out: This challenge lasts 7 generations, with one optional generation 0 (if you like playing out the backstory like me). If you want to skip gen 0, go right to Generation 1. Gen 0 centers around the strict farming family that the first famous sim (Heir 1) grows up in. The parents should be Adults. Heir 1 can be created as a Teen, Child, Toddler, or not born yet.

You should chose a lot big enough for the parents to farm. The parents may have any traits you’d like, but I would suggest making them family-oriented but strict sims. Heir 1 can look however you’d like. They should have the self-absorbed trait- all other traits and attributes are up to you. They should have at least 2 siblings. The siblings’ traits are up to you, but remember that they are more similar to their parents than Heir 1 is.

Optional Generation 0: Humble Beginnings

These parents are simple and humble farmers, and they had children hoping those kids would carry on this legacy. However, one of their children is distant, rebellious, and ultimately leaves home to pursue some silly dreams of Hollywood.

Objectives: -Never have a career. Live completely off the land. 

-Have a minimum of 3 children 

-Have a friendship level of 0 with one child (Heir 1)

Optional Objectives: -Have a negative relationship level with Heir 1

 -Max the Gardening skill 

-Complete the Nature aspiration 

-Have Heir 1 move out as a Teen

Generation 1: The Lucky Young Star

You grew up on your family’s farm, but always dreamed of leaving and making it big in Hollywood. You may have ruined your relationship with your own family, but it’s all for fame. You know it’ll be worth it when you achieve your dreams.

Getting started: This sim should have the Self-Absorbed trait. If you don’t play Gen 0, you must start as a Young Adult. You should move into a city (Either Del Sol Valley or San Myshuno). Their other traits and physical attributes are up to you.

Objectives: -Become a Five Star celebrity before aging up to an adult

-Complete the World-Famous Celebrity aspiration

-Get to Level 10 in either the Acting or Musician careers. You may not have any other career.

-(If you had parents) have a friendship level of 0 with your parents 

-If you have a romantic relationship with someone of lower/no fame status, you must break up with them once you become a 3-star celebrity 

-You must marry a 4 or 5-star celebrity (you may design/place this person in the world due to the limited number of celebrity NPCs. You may play them for up to 1 Sim day in order to establish their life. You may use cheats to quickly establish their life, but you may not cheat their relationship with your sims or Heir 1, and you may not have them interact with Heir 1 until you are playing as Heir 1 again.)

-You must have at least one child

Optional Objectives:

-Have an infamous affair

-Have a child with your affair

-Get to Level 10 in both the Actor and Musician career.

-(18+, requires basemental mod) Get addicted to drugs or alcohol

-Have a butler or babysitter do every childcare related thing

Generation 2: The Ruthless Celebrity

You felt like you never got anything from your own parents. The only time they ever spoke to you was to remind you the hard way that nothing in life will come easy. Fine, you’ll show them- you will do anything to get to-and stay at-the top.

Objectives: -Become a 5-star Celebrity before aging up to an adult

-Have a Friendship level of 0 with Heir 1

-Complete either of the Wealth aspirations

-Reach level 10 of the Actor, Musician, or Comedian Career before aging up to an adult

-Any interaction with someone of a lower celebrity status must be rude and dismissive

-Make an enemy of at least one sim in your same career

-Only Marry a sim who has a higher fame level than you (Unless you are already 5-Star, in which case only marry another 5-Star celeb). If they ever drop to under your celebrity level, divorce them.

-Through all this, maintain a neutral reputation. Your reputation shouldn’t fall in the red for more than 3 sim days.

-Have at least 1 child

Optional Objectives: -Murder at least one sim in your career (you can use Extreme Violence for this, or just trap them in your house or something)

-Befriend at least one sim in the Criminal career

-On top of only marrying a sim with higher fame, that sim should also have more money than you.

-Have a reputation of at least Good

-Have a negative relationship with your parent

Generation 3: The Notorious Mob boss

The types of people your parents kept around the house weren’t exactly... trustworthy. With a combination of your criminal and Hollywood contacts, you pretty quickly rise to criminal infamy.

Objectives: -Reach level 10 of the Criminal career

-Reach 5-star celebrity status before becoming an Elder

-Have a spouse die of either murder or some sort of “accident” (drowning, fire, electrocution etc)

-Have at least 1 child

Optional Objectives:

-Get killed before becoming an elder or die in an “accident”

-Be friends with at least three 4 or 5 star celebrities

-Have a child with someone who is not your spouse

-Have a negative relationship with your parent

Generation 4: The Lover

You grew up under constant surveillance and attention, but with very little love or warmth from your own family. You will spend your life finding dysfunctional relationship after relationship.

Objectives: -Complete the Serial Romantic aspiration

-Become a 5 star celebrity before becoming an Elder

-Get divorced 3+ times

-Cheat on a partner at least once

-Have at least 3 children, but never two with the same person (except twins of course).

Optional Objectives: -Cheat on every single partner you have

-Never get a job. Most money should be made through your spouses

-Have a negative relationship with your parent

-Get addicted to any substance

Generation 5: The sensitive artist

You grew up in a highly dysfunctional home, but found comfort in your art. You will become a celebrity artist.

Objectives: -Join either the Painter, Writer, or Musician career (not the freelance versions)

-Become a 5-star celebrity before becoming an Adult

-Leave your career once you hit level 10 or become a 5-star celebrity. All of your money must still be made through your craft (writing, painting, music) but now you aren't held down by...the man.

-Max out whatever skill is related to your career (painting, piano, guitar, etc)

-Never get married. You can’t be held down.

-Have at least one child. Turns out you can be held down.

Optional Objectives: -Have a negative relationship with your parent

-(18+) Become addicted to a psychedelic drug

-Max out on an artistic skill unrelated to your main career

-Live in an “off the grid” house for at least a week

Generation 6: The Shia Labeouf

You grew up in... extremely unusual circumstances. You were in the spotlight from a young age. You lived with a parent who projected being a free-spirit, but who you knew to be just as fame-hungry as the rest of your family. They say it’s lonely at the top, and you were born there. There’s no where to go but down. Time to go bonkers. Just really McFucking lose it. You will become the most wild and unpredictable celebrity the world has seen.

Objectives: -Become a 5-Star Celebrity before becoming an Elder

-Reach level 4 in at least 5 careers. You may not stay in any career after reaching level 4. It doesn’t matter what careers you chose.

-Have an equal amount of friends and enemies.

-At least once in your life, bring your reputation level from one extreme side to the other (i.e. reach Pristine reputation, then bring it all the way to Atrocious, or vice versa.)

-Move at least twice

-At least 5 times, cause some sort of extreme public scene/scandal. This could be anything from getting in a fight, having a messy divorce in public, living on a public lot for a long period of time for no reason, starting a fire, anything.

-Have at least 1 child

Optional Objectives: -Have a negative relationship with your parents

-(18+) Get addicted to multiple substances at once

-Bring your reputation level back to the first extreme (Meaning if you had a Pristine reputation then brought it down to Atrocious, now bring it back to Pristine)

Generation 7: The normal one

Everyone in your family as far back as you know has lived in the limelight, and it’s ruined all of their lives. You decide to leave fame behind to live a real simple life.

Objectives: -Either become a farmer and live off the land or get a normal job.

-Never have any level of fame. If you hit any level of fame, leave the spotlight behind

-Have at least one child

-Avoid celebrities at all costs

-Avoid having anything other than a neutral or good reputation

-Have at least 1 child

Optional Objectives: -Reach level 10 in your Career

-Have one spouse and 2-3 children (like a real nuclear family lol)

-Have a negative relationship with your parent

-Have a bad relationship with one of your children

The Challenge ends when the final sim ages into an Adult or Elder (depending on how invested you are in playing the most normal family ever). If you would like, you can begin a cycle again with Generation 7 acting as the second cycle’s Generation 0.

I will update this blog with my own play through of this challenge soon!

GOT Tag Game!

thank u @winnifredburkle for the tag <3 (im relatively new to this fandom and my knowledge is limited to the shows so pls forgive any inaccuracies!!) (also spoiler warning!!)

the first character i fell in love with: does it count if i fell for Dany and Arya at the same time

a character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Tyrion!! tbh i didnt like his story arc (and his character in general) at the beginning but he grew on me and and his interactions with Dany and her friends are hilarious and endearing to watch

a character everyone else loves that I don’t: Jorah. idk i just dont trust him LMAO. and Littlefinger but i have a feeling he isnt so liked much either

a character I love that everyone else hates: what did Dany and Ayra do to yall honestly :’‘))

a character I used to love but don’t any longer: none

a character I would kiss: Invalid question bc i can’t just pick between Dany Missandei Margaery Sansa and Arya can i

a character I’d slap: again an Invalid question like theres a good number of characters i wanna slap but. if i had to choose 1 then mayb Joffrey?? 

a character I’d want to be like: i wanna be as cool as Arya Stark tbh

a character who makes me laugh: Tyrion Mcfucking Lannister. i LIVE for his bitterness and sarcasm and his interaction w any other character is iconic. esp that scene where he tells Greyworm and Missandei to make a joke i watched that scene like 8 times ngl

a character i miss: Hodor :”“““)))

a pairing i love: most of my favs r dead but i’d die for Greyworm/Missandei to stay safe and b happy together

a pairing i dont like: i dont see the appeal in Jon/Sa sorry i dont make the rules

(i dont know anyone else who likes asoiaf besides Morgan so if u do feel free to do this!!)

Do you have any art tips?

Uhhhhhh Funk im not The Greatest Artist ™ but I’ll try to bestow some Wisdom on you. Keep in mind Art is Subjective and I’m no expert and all that so take everything with a grain of salt but that being said I’ll try to give u Tips and Tricks

-listen so if you have a boring class at school just draw in it. School is great because you have 1. Access to paper at all times 2. Incredibly boring lectures. If you have a study hall that’s the Drawing JACKPOT. Basically what I’m saying is practice all the time when you have energy but like that’s such boring art advice. It’s important but “practice! uwu” is like what people with Natural Art Talent say when they didn’t have to figure everything out from the ground up so it’s kind of aggravating

-There’s gonna be people better than you. Chances are you have a friend who’s better than you because this is Tumblr we all draw. Try Not To Compare Yourself ™ which idk how to do but it’s bad don’t do it

-unless you find a terrible person with worse art than you in which case FUCK DUDE COMPARE YOURSELF TO THEM! THEYRE HORRIBLE AND THEY CANT DRAW FOR SHIT LOOK WHOS LAUGHING NOW!

-“work until your idols become your rivals” is absolute bullshit because your idols are working at it at the same time you are. You fool. You imbecile. I feel like this works better for writing when your idols can become irrelevant or straight up die between you being an aspiring author 8 year old and a tired 30 year old who just wrote The Great American Novel ™ or just kind of. Leave the fandom if you’re writing fanfic. Anyway

-ok that’s all the preachy shit, time for Real Art Advice ™. Keep in mind I do digital cartoony shit with Strong Lineart and cel shading for the most part and I pretty much only draw people so my knowledge is limited to that. if you wanna be a professional artist maybe do other things and Expand your Abilities ™

-Ok first off if you’re using Gimp or Photoshop please love yourself and download Firealpaca or illegally torrent Paint Tool Sai or something. I swear by Firealpaca it cured my depression but like. Photoshop is Trash for drawing. Get Firealpaca it has Line Correction ™

-Keep Line Correction ™ at like. A 5 when you’re sketching and at a 19 (the maximum) when you’re lining, coloring, shading, highlighting, doing literally anything that isn’t sketching

-Sketching digitally can be hard if you’re used to sketching on paper and I find it easier to do a sketch on paper, take a picture of it on my phone or scan it, and line/color it digitally. You do you and figure out what works best

-speaking of which I refused to use sketchbooks until I was Worthy ™ of not drawing on notebook paper and uhhhhhh that’s dumb just get a sketchbook they cost a little more than a notebook at Target it’s not super expensive. Although if you’re not financially in the position to buy a sketchbook anyway, just hoard notebooks from school that you didn’t use much. Bam, that’s your new sketchbook

-the Head Circle Cross Thing and the Spheres For Shoulder, Elbow, and Wrist Thing are good and important and will save you

-hands are hard so use references but bullshit your way through it. eventually they’ll look good (I haven’t gotten there yet)

-HAVE FUN WITH NOSES OH MY GOD. Noses are super fun and cool because there’s, like, infinite variety with them, they can be as long or short, thin or thick, rounded or pointy as you want, you can make them be, like, triangles or circles or more squareish or diamond-shaped, the base of the nose can be about as high or as low on the face as you want, you can make the nostrils prominent or not really there at all, they can add another Layer to a character’s design, oh my goodness noses are so fun. They’re like, severely underrated and oh my god I could gush about how fucking fun noses are

-same with facial expressions. Where you put the pupils and how big they are, how much of the eye is covered by eyelids, the way the eyebrows are, the mouth, tons of other shit. There’s loads of variety and so much you can do and honestly having fun with the facial expression is The Best Part. There’s tons of Face Art Chart Memes floating around, you know the ones, save it to your phone/computer and practice those on your own time it’s fun

-if you don’t know how to do something, avoiding it won’t help you. Just kind of draw around with it in your sketchbook or in a “I’m not posting this” file until you feel confident enough to do it in your Real Projects ™.

-Ok for lining did you know..… it isn’t illegal to erase parts of the lineart to clean it up.… just be careful and draw it back in to the best of your abilities if you erase too far and use a smaller eraser brush/lining brush for this… I know it’s tedious nobody likes lining it’s okay you can do this put on some good music

-use mcfucking references

-eyedrop character’s official colors but adjust said colors based on the color of your background to make them look less funky is my general rule for clothing, I usually pick the hair/skin by myself or from something I’ve already drawn though

-for flats, make sure your lineart is all closed off and there aren’t any “holes” cuz that’ll mess up your coloring

-so how I do flats is I use the magic wand tool to select whatever I want to color, expand selection 3 pixels (in firealpaca you can set it to do this automatically), pick the color I need, turn up the brush to as big as possible, and color it in. It saves the time you’d spend with cleaning up where the color gets outside the lines

-you can do the flats on one layer, but I personally like to do every Object on a different layer so when I do shading, I know what goes on top of what

-if a color is darker than the lineart it looks ugly so pick your line color with caution (or just use black! Unlike shading black lineart tends to go with pretty much everything)

-SHADE YOUR GODDAMN ART. Like, what makes people go “wow holy shit that’s good!” is the shading + highlights, don’t be lazy ya fuck.

-I’d take a break before shading to Refresh Your Eyes ™ but also I constantly forget this is a good idea

-don’t shade with black oh my god. Unless you’re doing Strong Punchy Dramatic Stuff or monochrome black and white stuff, don’t shade with black, and if you’re doing that it’ll probably be drawn into the lineart. Don’t shade with black please we can tell you’re doing it and it looks bad

-highlighting with white isn’t too bad though, especially with the eyes, but it might look too strong in some places

-As a general rule, shading is darker and more saturated, highlighting is lighter and less saturated. Whether it gets warmer or cooler depends a lot on what color or thing you’re shading or what you want the feel of the picture to be and I’m not 100% sure how to do it myself so uh. Trust your gut and change the color if it looks wrong I guess.

-where exactly the shadows or highlights fall depends on lots of things, just kind of. Look at how things work irl maybe? This is the kind of thing that you just have to practice, and it’ll look like shit until suddenly it doesn’t sorry I’m not sure what to say

-One Medium Sized White Dot on a layer above the lineart where the pupil borders the Iris (or the whites of the eyes if you’re like me and you make the pupil and Iris one thing) works for a glint in the eye that makes a person look less dead and more cute. How big you’re gonna make it depends on how adorable you want the person to be

-SMOOTH BORDERS FOR THE SHADING ARE REALLY IMPORTANT IF YOURE DOING CEL SHADING which is why firealpaca is my best friend thanks line smoothing. If you’re doing like. Soft shading or painterly shit or other kinds of shading it’s less Super Important but like. Still be sort of neat. Unless being really messy and sketchy is what you’re going for but even then you still need to be sort of careful

-for simple backgrounds, it’s like. Easy to make it interesting. Add polka dots to the background or a big old square or a gradient or a cloud filter or something the possibilities are endless. Another option is to straight up make it transparent and write a secret message in white on the side. But uhh never do a blank white background at the very least fill it with a solid color

-ok style is kind of hard because I never had to struggle to find my style? I just “drew in my handwriting” so to speak and then if along the way I realized something looked shitty I just changed how I drew it slightly? I guess a thing you could do if you’re in tune enough is look at the styles of things you do like and things you don’t and figure out why you do and don’t like it. “I like how *2010s cartoon* does Eyes!” great take that general concept. “I hate how this shitty yaoi has enormous hands!” great then don’t do that. It’s all Personal Preference my dude style is Your Own Thing

-notes aren’t everything but fuck do they feel nice. Self reblogs are fine but don’t overdo it, I’d say reblog it Twice to account for time zones and tag it as self reblog so as to not be a dick

This got long whoops. That’s all I can think of but I hope this helps it’s All I Know
