Araminta and Jordan's relationship, like everything else, has been changing. They’ve been struggling with feelings of disconnection, but they’re working to rekindle their affection and having fun experimenting with new things. Meanwhile, Cerise has been accepted to her dream college on an athletic scholarship, though her parents are growing concerned about how quickly she’s maturing. The situation came to a head when they found Lee, Cerise's boyfriend, in her room — in a very compromising position!

Araminta and Jordan spoke to Lee's parents with mixed results, but his grandfather, Geoffrey, was more receptive. Geoffrey often meets Araminta at the chess table to discuss the goings-on of their young progeny. Though Araminta hopes the attraction will fizzle, she can’t deny the potential benefits of a Landgraab connection for her daughter’s future.

► NOT SO BERRY x BERRY PASTEL RAINBOWCY - AN UPDATED VERSION

as some of you might know, I've written updated versions of the not so berry challenge and the berry pastel rainbowcy before. however, I keep wanting to switch between the two challenges or abandoning my one save for the other. so, on a random Monday evening I figured, why not combine the two for the ultimate updated challenge experience? my lovely fellow simmers over at @berrygameplay convinced me to write stuff down and... the NSB x BPR updated rules was born!

credit goes to @lilsimsie and @alwaysimming for the original nsb rules and @berrysweetboutique for the original berry pastel rainbowcy rules!

►WHAT ABOUT THE RULES

as with my two other updated challenges, i've written the rules in a google doc (that you cannot edit! stop asking for permission to edit the file!). if you want to save the rules for yourself, go to file > create a copy and you're able to save the rules wherever you want and edit them. this will not change the original document.

there are disclaimers, a list of packs you need for this challenge (most packs are optional) and an index to move through generations quickly. each gen has their own introductory story (you don't have to adhere to these stories!), required traits - aspirations - careers, the generational rule (bpr), reward traits to buy, and the list of objectives catered to that generation. feel free to edit these objectives to your hearts desire! this challenge is supposed to be fun :)

► NSBxBPR

if you want to play this challenge, please tag your posts with #nsbxbpr so I can follow and share them!

the ocean and the wind. (6)

ੈ✩‧₊˚ synopsis: tonowari is the ocean and ronal is the wind. where does it leave you?

ੈ✩‧₊˚ notes: yooo i'm so sorry for the super late update, school got me tied up again aksldnakjd i speedran writing this so if there's any mistakes i am so sorry!! anyways the next part will be the last part and can i just say holy shit??? totw is finally ending and i gen don't know how to feel about this. anyways ive read so much of your replies and i am so honoured and flattered that many of you love this story! i am kissing your forehead as you read this btw xoxo as usual, pls let me know your thoughts and which parts were your favourite! till next time!!

part 1 ✩ part 2 ✩ part 3 ✩ part 4 ✩ part 5 ✩ part 6 (here!) ✩ part 7 (final part)

Tonowari is at a loss as he watches you ignore him once more. He talked to you before, he asked you where you had been as you seemingly disappeared into thin air for a couple of weeks. He could not see even a glimpse of your hair and the days without you, his head swam in concern and worry. Have you gone sick? Were you okay? Did something happen? 

As the days without any news from gone by, he grew more distracted from his classes and it was the same for Ronal as well. She grew more anxious and distressed as days went by, and without a proper outlet to let it all out, she grew more emotionally unstable. They could only comfort each other but not once has the turbulence in their heart disappear from the thought of you.

When the news of you that you had gotten sick, he felt helpless. He wanted to come into your home and check in on how you were doing, to be by your side and take care of you in any way he and Ronal can, but your mother had not allowed it. He contemplated sneaking inside your pod to at least see you but there he could not disobey the Healer of the clan. So he sighs inside his heart and with a strained smile, he thanks your mother for the news and offered his best wishes for you to get well soon. When he told Ronal of the news, she frowned deeply and huffed. He watched her gather medicinal herbs and nutritious berries before she gripped them hard in her fist and tears welled in her eyes.

“[Name]... I want to see her,” she said in a brittle voice, her face contorted with longing and anguish for you. Tonowari grabbed her face with both of his hands and pushed the hair out of her face.

“I know,” he leaned his forehead against hers and looks at her straight in the eyes. Her tears slipped and rolled down her cheeks silently and his heart broke apart at the sight of her in pain. Helplessness crept up and weigh his heavy heart down once again. Now, Ronal was hurting and there was nothing he could do. “[Name] is strong. We’ll see them back in no time and they will be healthy when they return.”

“And when they do, they will know of the worry we have for them. The painful agony without them and they will laugh at us, tease us at how much of a baby we two are. They will say how we are just giant children that never really aged with how we cannot handle being without them.” He promised her, promised himself, that everything would be okay and would soon return to normal. Ronal let out a snort and she hid in his embrace.

“They will know of the adoration we have for them,” he whispered against her forehead and kissed the top of her head. Fear comes back and it fills his lungs dark blue. But his passion for you outweighs any of his doubts and suddenly he found himself able to breathe underwater. “We will them of beautiful they are, how they fill us with Atokirina. How much love we carry and drown for her. When [Name] returns, they will finally see how we see them.”

“When [Name] returns.” Ronal murmured against his chest with finality.

Hope swelled in Tonowari’s chest but reality burst it open. When he finally saw you again, relief and joy takes away the heavy weight from his shoulders. When he and Ronal came up to you, they were glad they could finally see you and take the Iknimaya with you. However, they were still worried if you were truly well enough to complete the ritual. But that type of worry soon turned into worry about what have they done wrong for you to avoid them.

You weren’t being the usual you, they noticed. Your happy and cheery aura was nowhere to be seen. Your usual rambles turned into small and curt replies. Your genuine smile turned into one he could not recognize anymore as it did not reach your cheeks. You did not see them anymore. He watched you excuse yourself to your other friends and leave him weak and with so much pain. He watched you the whole time during Iknimaya as you avoided his yearning gazes. He watched you as you continued to hurt him unknowingly, or perhaps you did without giving him and Ronal to ask you why. 

You do not see him anymore.

Now, he looks at you, you who is so alluring as you stand underneath the Cove of Ancestors, adorned with the garments your parents had knitted you that fit you so well and your freshly inked chest that represents your big heart that cared for everyone to which he desperately hopes that he and Ronal are included. The bioluminescent Spirit Tree underwater glows so brightly that it still shines on you. Eywa’s creations swims and streaks of light kisses your skin and he could only think how you leave him breathless of your beauty. He finds himself jealous of the water that you stand in and is closer and touches you the way he wants to be with you.

He recalls how you two promised back then that you two would complete your coming-of-age ceremony together and you two did, just not the way he thought it would. Why do you not see him anymore? Do you hate him? Had he done something wrong? Tonowari wanted to beg you and if he has to be on his knees, he will do so without hesitation as long as you tell him and he will do anything for you to see him once more. But he is the Olo’eyktan’s son, the future chief and has an image to show to everyone, as his father tells him every second. But what use is of his position without you?

Ronal grips his hand and looks at him with worry. He presses his lips into a flat lip, a horrible attempt to send her a smile to ease her concerns for him. She squeezes his hand thrice and his heart throbs at the thought of you.

He remembers how you ignored him before and how everything was just like back then. How you avoided him so and how he thought how you must have despised him. How much pain you gave him in months of you pretending he does not exist. You’re so cruel. So, so cruel. What if this time, you truly despise him now? What if he is nothing to you anymore? Can he take it? Can he truly take it and accept a future without you?

Tonowari’s face is suddenly caressed by Ronal. He looks at her in confusion and she just pushes the hair out of his face.

“When they return, they will know of the adoration we have for them,” she says quietly yet her yearning for you that he also feels is apparent, “We will them of beautiful they are, how they fill us with Atokirina. How much love we carry and drown for her.”

She says what he promised her word for word and he chuckles. He catches her hands and he kisses the knuckles of one of her hands. He squeezes the other hand thrice and finishes his promise to her.

“When [Name] returns, they will finally see how we see them.” No. He cannot just accept that you despise him now without telling him any reason why. He cannot just accept that he is nothing to you so easily. He does not want months of avoidance to happen again and perhaps turn into years of pretending he and Ronal does not exist. He will not give in to the voices that cloud his head for he knows you and you could never hate him. You care about him and Ronal too much and he wishes that it is the same care he and her have for you. Even if he did, he will not risk losing the chance of losing you and a future with you because he loves you. Ronal loves you.

“I see you,” he says to Ronal with eyes full of gratefulness that she snapped him out of his spiralling thoughts and love for her.

“I see you,” she replies with the same eyes that make his heart skip a beat. 

He just hopes that you still see both of them and see them the way they see you.

.

.

.

You are cruel. So, so cruel, Ronal thought as she watches you ignore her. When she talked to you after your disappearance, you acted like there was a barrier between the two of you. You placed a vast distance from her and it tore her heart, clawed it open and you left her to bleed so openly when you left and you didn’t even look back once. The pain from the worry and agony for your safety turned into a burning one that fills her lungs with smoke. Why? What did she do for you to despise being in her presence? Has she scared you as well? Have you grown tired of her as well?

She thought this time would be different. That you would be different. That she has finally found love in Tonowari and you and everything will be all and well. That she wouldn’t hurt anyone again, especially you who is one of the most beloved to her. Was everything a lie then? You said that this time would be different. You said that you were here for her. You said you see her. Was it all just a lie?

No, she silently scoffs to herself. She knows you and she sees you. You are kind. You have a big heart. You see everyone. Perhaps you just didn’t see her anymore. Perhaps it was truly her fault that made you turn away from her just like everybody else.

Disgusting. And so, so pathetic. Had she really not learned anything at all? How could she do that to you unknowingly? How could she hurt you, you who is one of the most precious to her? She does not deserve you, you who is so bright and so full of life and love and all she had done is hurt you. Is this Eywa’s punishment for her? For all the sins she had done in the past, all to return and come back to return in the name of [Name]?

“This time will be different, Ronal.” You said, bringing her face in front of yours. You wiped away her tears and assured her. “I’m here for you.”

“I see you.”

Your words ran through Rona’s mind and oh, despite it all, she still wants you. She still believes that you are different. She still believes that you still see her. She would never give up on you just like you had never given up on her when she didn’t want you to see her. She looks at you in your ethereal beauty that knocks the air out of her and she feels herself falling in love again. You stand there like Eywa’s most treasured creation of all time with the way all of life surrounds you. She looks at the three beads you hold in the palm of your hands and wonders if she and Tonowari would be a part of your waytelem. She finds herself envying the wind that ripples through your hair and clothes and is closer and touches you the way he wants to be with you.

And so, she tells Tonowari and tells him how you will know the wind and the ocean that carries their love for you and grips Tonowari’s hand and would not let him give up on you as well.

“Greetings, brother, Ronal,” a friend of Tonowari’s suddenly cut off her thoughts she lets go of Tonowari’s hand. She nods at him while he greeted him back.

“To what do I owe the pleasure of having my brother here before me?” Tonowari chuckles.

“I just wanted to give you my congratulations for completing Iknimaya, our future Olo’eyktan,” his friend grins to him and nods at her, “And of course, our future Tsahìk.”

She frowns at this. What future Tsahìk? She was not aware of this nor the Tsahìk had personally told her of this. She looks at Tonowari with a questioning gaze.

“Future Tsahìk? When did you learn of this?” his eyebrows press into a flat line while his ears twitched.

“Everyone knows this, brother. In fact, we are all surprised [Name] wasn’t chosen,” he told them and realization dawns on Ronal. Do you know of this as well? Is this the reason why you were avoiding them?

Ronal looks at Tonowari with wide eyes. Tonowari grips her hand and looks at her and tells her with his eyes that they both need to talk to you quickly. Perhaps his friend had sensed that there was something wrong as he apologized and asked if he was in the wrong.

“No, no, thank you for telling me this, brother,” Tonowari pats his shoulder and sends him a strained smile, “I’m sorry but Ronal and I need to go now. I will make it up to you soon.”

She and he nods at him before they go to where you were before. You were not there anymore. Panic swells in her chest as the seconds go by she could not see you. She sees a common friend you and her shared and she quickly calls her over.

“Greetings, Ronal and Tonowari. Congratulations on your Iknimaya!” she beams at her.

“Greetings. I’m sorry but there is an urgent matter I need to attend to. Have you seen [Name]?” she hastily says and concern quickly washes over her friend’s face.

“Oh, I think she left early. Why, had something happened?”

“Thank you. There is just something we need to talk to her. I’ll see you soon.” She nods at her and calls for Ilus nearby. As they swim towards her and Tonowari, she cannot help but the questions that plague her mind. What if they were too late and you refuse to hear them out? What if you hate them for the betrayal you must have felt? What if—

“Ronal,” Tonowari grabs caresses her face with one hand and squeezes her hand with another. “Deep breaths. Breathe.”

She looks at him, frustration welling up in her eyes and she bites her lip. “[Name] sees you. She sees us.”

“What if she doesn’t anymore?” she asks the question that gives them immense pain to even think about. What if? What then?

Tonowar’s eyes soften and he tries to hide his flinch. He is silent and both of them could only cling desperately to the hope that you still do.

Oh, Eywa, she begs, Please help them see our innermost thoughts and the sincerity we have in our souls.

Please let them know of the wind and the ocean that calls out their name.

Please let them still see us.

[ellenneedscoffee]

Welcome to generation 3!

As I've said in previous posts, Generation 2 ends when Lainey marries as an elder. she also has to have a bad relationship with Felix before the rose gen is complete. It will be a while until then so I figured we should get started with gen 3 while we wait.

The heir for the yellow gen is Felix Berry. He has recently aged up to a teenager and is about to start his first day of high school.

For this challenge, I’m following the updated rules created by @sweetlysimss.

Here’s a link to the updated challenge: XXX

Generation Three: Yellow

Growing up you never really had a close relationship with your parent. their workaholic nature has really put you off. however, dedication is something that runs in the family. you start to focus on your handiness skill and as you do so, you grow closer to your space-crazy family members. before you know it, you’ve found your greatest passion: woodworking! besides woodworking, you start to develop an interest in gathering collectibles as well, as they turn out to be worth quite a fortune! soon you’re able to provide for your family without having an actual job. ha! that will show [insert parent]!

traits: self-assured, art lover, loves outdoors

aspiration: fabulously wealthy

career: unemployed

Rules

master the handiness skill

unlock all woodworking sculptures/furniture

master the rocket science skill and built a rocket ship

complete the fabulously wealthy aspiration

Enter the secret lot in oasis springs (requires level 10 handiness skill)

Never have any real close friends except for one of the family members from generation 1 (e.g. the founder, if they’re still alive. if not, any other family member suffices)

Meet your future spouse while exploring a different neighbourhood for collectibles

There is no set number of children for this generation

Have at least “friend” level with all of your children

Make money by selling your woodworking and excessive collectibles.

Complete the following collections:

Aliens: 10 collectibles (found via the rocket science skill’s adventures in space)

Crystals: 20 collectibles (found while digging up rocks)

Elements: 15 collectibles (found while digging up rocks and then sending them to the Geo Council)

Fossils: 15 collectibles (found while digging up rocks)

Frogs: 25 collectibles (found via searching in logs, water pumps, and caught at ponds → rare frogs can either be found or achieved by breeding)

Geodes: 6 collectibles (found on the planet Sixam)

Mysims trophies: 20 collectibles (found in capsules)

Postcards: 14 collectibles (collected by finding pen pals on the computer)

Space rocks: 4 collectibles (found via the rocket science skill and venturing into space)

The collectables are going to be the death of me... 😫

Snowdrop Blossom | Amaryllis Blossom | Rose Blossom Marigold Blossom | Hibiscus Blossom | Gladiolus Blossom Jasmine Blossom | Morning Glory Blossom | Asteria Blossom Orchid Blossom | Lavender Blossom | Edelweiss Blossom Freesia Blossom | Caladrius Blossom | Plumeria Blossom DOWNLOAD THE BLOSSOM FAMILY HERE *If you're just here for berry sim downloads, don't click the read more. If you want an update on Crystal's future, what I said in the tags in Gen 1's post, and where we're going, read on.

So. Shop talk time.

Crystal will be my first, last and only full Sims 4 story.

After struggling for...six months or so now with a proper scene by scene outline for Gen 1 (GEN 1! GEN-F'ING ONE!) for Blossom, starting over and over and over and over and--I have 18 drafts for this thing. Not even my million word plus fanfic has gotten that many drafts I don't--I can't even. But I don't say that to flex. I say this to explain that, after yet another failed drafting attempt didn't work, I had a long sit and think about if I even wanted to tell this story and the answer is...no. I don't. To be completely honest, I'm sick of the Sims 4 and how it plays, how unstable it is as more and more updates are released, and I say that as someone who pirated the damn thing and doesn't update until absolutely necessary. So when I say the thought of having to use it for another 6+ years was heavy...well, yeah, it was heavy.

And I do mean 6+ years. I started playing Gen 1 of Crystal in April 2019 (we don't count Gen 0, that was two days and on rails) and it is now August 2024. Five years later and we're not done with Gen 6! 7 is ready to go, sure, but I still have to play > cap > edit > post > write dialogue for Gens 8, 9, and 10*! At its current pace, Crystal has enough material to last into the early part of 2027. Add three more gens to that and we're looking, probably, at 2030 before it's done. That's a long time. 11 years for 11 gens and one AU (which we also don't count that was on rails too--). Blossom would have been 13 gens and a shorter prologue, so 13 years. That is too long. That is too heavy. As much as I adore some of the concepts I created, I can't have this...thing clinging on for that long. I can't. it does not spark joy, so it will be discarded. Crystal will be finished. I am currently retooling Gens 8 through 10 to incorporate my favorite ideas from Blossom into it, but this thing is over half done and I will not abandon it. After it's finished, this blog will be retired.

If anyone wants to take my sims up for download and use them in their own legacies, please please please please please do so freely!!! That's what I uploaded them for, and when Crystal is done they'll go up, too. *Gen 10, Silver? Yes, my friend. Gen 10. A nice round number...and a nice dramatic ending where we began. :3 You'll see.

[youredreamingofroo]

hello to all the soupers out there, I'm Roo, not to be mistaken with my own OC/Persona, Roo.

I'm 18, go by He/They, but you can use any pronouns. I play a lot of games, but the one that I'll be posting about (the most anyways) is the Sims 4! I love a lot of other games tho, like Rain world, Project zomboid, Beyond two Souls, Detroit become human, Far cry 5, Minecraft... the list could go on. i've been playing the sims for as long as I can remember, starting with Sims 1, and working up to, now, the Sims 4, Sims 3 will always be my favorite sims game however, no matter how much I play TS4

In TS4, I primarily make sims, occasionally build, play through legacies and share the story of my sims. I love making stories, I'm not that good at writing, but I only make stories to make characters, and to convey character, not to be a masterclass writer.

I'm also a blender user, while not skilled whatsoever in it, I enjoy making simple scenes with as much emotion and atmosphere that I can convey :)

I will frequently update this as my simblr grows and I do more stuff

This section is all dedicated to my beloved OC Roo, and his family, and in general, story. If you follow me, you will get well acquainted with him, and will probably get attached to him.

[ Roo-seum - If you want to get to know Roo, this goes over pretty much every single year of his life, from age 9, to age 28.

Packsploration Legacy Challenge

by @emilieplayssims 

(Originally created on April 13, 2022)

(Last Updated: October 19, 2023)

GOOGLE DOC WITH UP TO DATE RULES HERE

DISCLAIMER: As of the last update the challenge has only been playtested up to Gen 4 as I’m still working my way through it; as such, the later generations might be unbalanced. If you notice that some requirements are too easy or too hard to achieve, please let me know!

If you’re like me, you tend to collect Sims packs, and sure, you use the CAS and Build items but you go on playing the game like you’re used to, barely even looking at the new gameplay the packs just unlocked.

In this challenge, each of the 16 generations explores 1-3 packs so you can get familiar with gameplay aspects you might have never used.

I know the Not So Berry challenge was built similarly, but a lot of packs came out since its creation, and the packs are spread out across the generations instead of each generation exploring one pack. 

This challenge uses all expansion packs; all game packs except for StrangerVille, Journey to Batuu, and My Wedding Stories; and the Paranormal and Nifty Knitting Stuff Packs.

My reasoning for this is that StrangerVille and Batuu both have their own storyline to playthrough and so the gameplay exploration is built in, while My Wedding Stories can be used for the various weddings you will have throughout the generations and doesn’t really warrant a dedicated generation. (You can pick Tartosa for the 13th generation’s first house, if you wish to play in it.) As for the Stuff Packs, Nifty Knitting and Paranormal are the ones that offer the most gameplay. 

Since each generation is a different pack, it should be easy for you to skip some if you’re missing a pack — you might just have to rework the generation’s backstory to have it make sense.

I hope this challenge might introduce you (and me!) to new ways to play The Sims 4! Have fun!   

Basic Rules:

Each heir must move to the specified Home World when they become a Young Adult. If the rules don’t specify a world for that generation, you’re free to live wherever you please.

Each generation must have at least one child (natural birth or adopted) to be the next generation. Other than that, all relationships, weddings, kids, and personal life events are completely up to you, unless otherwise specified.

You can use each generation’s aesthetic as a suggestion for CAS or Build Mode but it is not mandatory

Money cheats can be used, but not excessively. Suggestion: use freerealestate for your first home, but no cheats afterward.

Every generation is supposed to complete both the career and aspiration of the heir unless explicitly stated otherwise.

If more than one aspiration is listed for a generation, that heir must complete all of them.

Keep the lifespan on normal.

Occult generations can either be born occult by having the previous generation find an Occult to mate with, or they can become occult during their lifetime by various means — unless otherwise specified

The offspring of an Occult, if born Occult too, can either stay Occult or become Human by various means.

Gen 1 - Discover University

Welcome to Britechester — the perfect place for young minds like yours who love learning. In fact, you love academia so much that you don’t leave the university, even after graduation. You stay in Britechester and enter a career in Education so that you can pass the love of learning onto new students.

Gen 3 - Island Living

If there’s one thing you learned as a kid, it’s reduce, reuse, recycle. So when you hear about the gorgeous island of Sulani, a tropical paradise that needs a little TLC, you know that’s where you belong. And maybe these crystal clear waters will reveal some new things about you… A mermaid tail, perhaps?

Gen 4 - Outdoor Retreat + Jungle Adventure

You spent your childhood playing outside and discovering one of the most beautiful places in the world. Why would you ever leave? The only thing that can get you off this island is your dream of exploring every secret the world has to offer. Dark woods, exotic jungles, cursed relics — the world is your oyster!

Gen 5 - City Living

Your childhood was not exactly the clean, stable life you would have picked if you had a choice. Creepy crawlies, sleeping on the ground, outhouses? No thank you. As soon as you’re of age, you leave the not-so-great outdoors behind and move to the big city. Concrete and steel, noisy neighbors, all that hustle and bustle — that’s more like it.

Home World: San Myshuno

Career: Your pick between Social Media or Critic

Aspiration: City Native

Traits: Unflirty, Squeamish, Self-Assured

Gen 6 - Cottage Living

Gen 7 - Cats & Dogs

As far as childhoods go, yours was pretty great, and there’s not a lot you’d change about it. You just wish you weren’t so far away from everything and everyone, and you’re a bit tired of all the responsibilities that come with a farm (all that feeding and cleaning and gardening gets tiresome). A vet clinic in a cozy neighborhood: that’s more your beat. You’re probably gonna surround yourself with just as many pets as your parent did, just, smaller ones.

Gen 8 - Get To Work + Parenthood

You’ve always been very inquisitive, with good deduction skills. Everyone has always said you would make a good detective, and you intend to be the best there is. You’re not willing to sacrifice your family life for it, though, which is why you aim to reach the top of your career as soon as possible so you can retire young and dedicate yourself to your family.

They nurtured your creative and outdoorsy sides and encouraged you to build a sweet, cozy life for yourself. You hold all your wonderful childhood memories close to your heart, and you love to make them live on by keeping up family traditions on every holiday.

Gen 10 - Snowy Escape

Ever since you attended the Festival of Youth in Mount Komorebi, you’ve been really interested in the local culture and you knew you wanted to move there some day. You were an excellent student, and you landed a serious, stable job, all to fulfill your dreams. It’s a lot of pressure, though, so you need an outlet. That’s how you discover extreme sports — the thrill of rushing down a mountain with the wind in your hair is the best antidote to the strict routine of your everyday life.

Gen 11 - Get Together + Dream Home Decorator

You’ve always liked being surrounded by people. As a kid you had a ton of friends, and as an adult, you like to go out and party with your pals. You even start a club so you can meet more people who share your love of music, dancing and the nightlife. During the day, however, you use your impeccable sense of style to work as an Interior Decorator. Your personal touch is sought-after all over town.    

Home World: Windenburg

Career: Interior Decorator

Aspiration: Leader of the Pack

Traits: Dance Machine, Insider; Music Lover

Aesthetic: Edgy meets Midcentury

Rules:

Master Dancing and DJ Mixing skills

Earn an Excellent Reputation as Interior Decorator (Not to be mistaken for the “Public Image” Reputation that came with the Get Famous Pack)

Gen 12 - Get Famous

You were raised around your parent’s big crew of friends, and you thrived under their attention — even as a toddler you were an absolute charmer. Growing up, you know you have the it factor and you will do anything it takes to see your name in shining lights.

Be good friends with at least 5 Celebrities and throw a Gold Medal dinner party for them

Gen 13 - Spa Day + Paranormal + Realm of Magic

Being the child of a global superstar is exhausting to say the least. Red carpets, paparazzi, hordes of fans — all while you’re trying to do your homework? You need a break. You find some long-awaited peace and quiet in the world of mindfulness — yoga, massages, inner peace. Unfortunately, the peaceful nest of zen you’ve built for yourself turns out to be haunted. You take it in stride and discover you have quite a knack for paranormal investigation. Before long, ghosts, ghouls and spirits have no secret for you. Nothing can stop your curiosity about the supernatural — when you hear of a mysterious world where you can learn to become a Spellcaster, you know that’s where fate wants you to be.

As an Adult, move to Glimmerbrook and ask a Sage to train you to become a Spellcaster 

Must reach Virtuoso level of Spellcasting

Gen 14 - Dine Out + Vampires 

Your parent was a Spellcaster. You’re a vampire. It’s like something out of a YA novel. Unfortunately, the life of a YA hero, with all its drama, is not for you. You’re a sweet goofball who just wants a normal life. Chill with your friends. Work at your diner. Hope nobody’s weird about going to a vampire’s restaurant. Yeah, people will talk, but you’re happy and that’s all that matters.

Home World: Forgotten Hollow, then Copperdale when you have kids

Can only have kids by adoption, to make sure they aren’t occult

Must move to Copperdale when you have kids to give them a normal life

Gen 15 - High School Years + Werewolves

Your parent was a Vampire. To ensure you’d have a normal life and not the life of an occult like them, they adopted you and raised you as normally as possible. They didn’t expect you to get bitten and become a werewolf on your Teenage birthday. You make the most of it: you’re a real-life Werewolf on Campus and you get super popular for it! It’s a fun way to be, so you keep it up into adulthood: Simfluencer-slash-streamer by day, climbing the ranks of the Moonwood Collective by night! Who says you can’t have it all?

Work both Simfluencer and Videogame part-time jobs as an adult

Must become Rank 5 of Werewolf ability (Apex)

Gen 16 - Growing Together + Horse Ranch

Being raised in a werewolf pack makes for a strange childhood. Maybe that’s why you became a horse girl (gender neutral), as a way to escape. Either way, as soon as you can, you move to Chestnut Ridge to become a Championship rider. You mellow out a bit when you get older and you decide to move closer to civilization and try your hand at nectar-making. Through it all, nothing is more important to you than family, and you give your kids a stable life like you never really had.  

Home World: Chestnut Ridge, then San Sequoia

Career: n/a

Aspiration: Championship Rider; Expert Nectar-maker
