Not So Berry CC & Mods Masterlist!

I'm almost to generation 5 of my Not So Berry challenge, so I thought I'd make a list of my favorite cc and mods that I use!

CC Creators

This is the most important part, as making your sims colorful is part of the fun of the challenge! There are some generations with colors (ex: peach, plum, mint green) that can be difficult since EA swatches don't really have these colors. Some creators have more swatches that add a bigger variety of colors. Look for specific palettes that have the colorful berry swatches, like Sorbets! Here are some great creators that provide these colors:

IMPORTANT: For recolors, remember that you'll often need the mesh of the original or else you'll get the dreaded broken cc with the question marks!

@simandy (amazing adult hairs that also often come in Puppycrow or Sorbets swatches)

@kissalopa (recolors many hairs with more swatches for all ages)

@dcwnandout (recolors many hairs in the Sorbets swatches)

@sweetberryturtle (recolors many hairs in Sorbets and Candy Shoppe swatches)

@i-heart-pudding (recolors of hairs and clothes)

@simysteric (recolors in the Sorbets swatches)

@noodlessorbets (the creator of the Sorbets palette, also reblogs cc using the swatches!)

Mods

Many of these I use for general reasons and not just for the NSB challenge, but I think they can really enhance your gameplay when following some of the challenge rules!

MC Command Center by deaderpool- I think this mod is a necessity overall but for the Not So Berry challenge one of the most important modules is MC Pregnancy. Some generations have a specific number of children to have, and this mod lets you be more in control of your sims' pregnancy. In the "offspring" tab for your pregnant sim, you can change the number of babies your sim is having (change twins to one baby, etc).

Grannie's Cookbook by @littlbowbub- some of the generations require your sim to master the cooking skill. If you're like me and play this game all the time, you might be getting bored of making the same old recipes. This mod provides a ton of adorable and creative recipes for your sims to enjoy. My personal favorites are the desserts- I haven't made a base game cake in a long time!

Relationship and Pregnancy Overhaul by lumpinou- one of the best mods out there for how much depth it adds to pregnancy, woohoo, and relationships. While playing gen 2 of the NSB challenge, my sim was supposed to have 1 child and "no maternal instincts" (quoted from the challenge rules), so it didn't really make sense for her to be overly happy about her pregnancy. This mod allows you to choose whether or not your sims want children (the game will also pick randomly), and they will react accordingly with moodlets and sentiments. It makes everything feel much more realistic.

Let's Get Fit Workout Equipment by cepzid creation- more options for workout equipment with custom animations. Great for generation 4 aka your athlete sim.

Talents and Weaknesses by lumpinou- allows you to choose your sim's talents and weaknesses in certain skills, which affects the rate of their skill gain. Maybe it's cheating a little, but since many generations require your sims to max certain skills, this can really help.😉Not to mention if you have a sim who is supposed to hate cooking, it doesn't make sense for them to be level 10! You can even block your sim from increasing certain skills.

I'll add more at a later date but I hope this helps some of my fellow NSB players!

Not so Berry 3.0 | Exotic Fruits Version

By: insta/twitter: @bellafranli | Twitch: aaqlah

The Not so Berry 3.0 challenge is based on the original Not so Berry challenge created by @lilsimsie. This challenge features exotic fruits as the names of its generations. It is important to note that NSB 3.0 does not follow all the colors of versions 1.0 and 2.0, nor their stories, and includes a bonus generation, meaning that there will be 11 generations in the legacy for this challenge.

This updated challenge for 2023 aims to cover a different gameplay from previous challenges, using more expansions and game packs for an even more enjoyable legacy. However, this does not mean that it cannot be played by those who do not have the expansion or game packs for the generation, it can be adapted during any generation for the packs you own in the coolest way for you and that fits best in the presented story.

During the challenge, you will notice that we will use items from the new update (Feb/2023), including legacies with hearing-impaired and trans individuals. The intention is not to interfere with gameplay but to create a more inclusive NSB challenge where everyone can feel seen. Therefore, we will follow the same basic rules already known by the simmer community, updated for 2023.

Acknowledgments

I would like to thank @Quel and the quelmunity for supporting me in creating a fun challenge for all of us. Special thanks to Endymnx who organized this tumblr for me. You guys are the most incredible people in the world who welcomed me when I needed it most. Thank you!

I would also like to add that this challenge was originally created in portuguese because I am brazilian. So big thanks to Claramrlx for helping translate this gigantic text to english haha 😂

Not so Berry 3.0 | Exotic Fruits Version

Basic Rules:

Each heir represents the color of the generation (hair, clothing, makeup…), but it is not necessary to apply this to skin color. This is totally optional, but it is a big part of the fun.

The colors of the spouses are not important. Unless otherwise stated, you can do whatever you want with them.

Money cheats can be used, but not excessively. Suggestion: use freerealestate to buy your first house, then continue the game without cheats.

You can live in any world, unless there is a rule about it in a certain generation.

All generations must complete career and aspiration goals, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Keep the normal lifespan.

Infant and toddler traits can be freely chosen by the player.

Child and teen aspirations can be freely chosen by the player, unless specified in the generation.

All heirs must be firstborns, unless explicitly specified in the generation.

Have fun <3

Generation 1: White Strawberry | Color: White

Requires: StrangerVille Game Pack

You have always been extremely curious and had a investigative soul. But above all, helping other sims constantly motivated your heart. And so, when you heard about a mysterious town with sims acting strange, you knew that was your place. Moving to StrangerVille was definitely the best decision of your life. That was your destiny and you would fulfill it.

Traits: Genius, Good, Paranoid Aspiration: StrangerVille Mystery | Location Career: Secret Agent | Branch: Diamond Agent

Complete the StrangerVille Mystery aspiration;

Complete the Logic and Programming skills;

Reach at least level 6 of the Charisma skill;

Marry a sim that you saved from contamination;

Live your entire life in StrangerVille.

Generation 2: Kiwi | Color: Green

Requires:Get Famous Expansion Pack

Growing up with a well-known relative can be tough, especially when that relative is your mother… Despite the constant exposure, you always felt proud to be the daughter of the hero of StrangeVille. It's understandable that other Sims are grateful to someone who saved an entire town from devastation. But growing up with the weight of having to do something even bigger was not easy. Your dream is to one day become even more famous and break the stigmas imposed by society for being hearing-impaired.

Traits: Ambitious, Self-absorbed, Extroverted Aspiration: World-Famous Celebrity | Popularity Career: Any career, as long as you meet the requirement of being a 5-star celebrity at the end. Example of careers that give you fame: Painting, Writing, Entertainment, Music, Acting…

Have a single daughter from a tumultuous relationship.

Generation 3: Yellow Watermelon | Color: Yellow

Requires: Cats & Dogs expansion pack and Cottage Living expansion pack (The latter only due to the Animal Lover trait, which can easily be replaced with Cat or Dog Lover).

You had the best education your parents could afford, with everything top-notch. However, you grew up in a complicated and uncommunicative family. Therefore, your dream was a simpler life away from the spotlight and the chaos of being a celebrity. Just thinking about famous sims made your stomach churn, in fact, just thinking about any sim made you nervous… But, there was one exception: your beloved grandma, who is your rock and best friend. Not being popular was never a problem because you always preferred animals anyway. The affection of kittens and puppies was always the purest and all you needed to have.

Traits: Animal Lover, Loner, Loyal Aspiration: Friend of the Animals | Animal Career: Veterinarian

Rules:

Be best friends with your grandma;

Buy a veterinary clinic;

Complete the Friend of the Animals aspiration;

Your mother is your main reference of an independent sim, she raised you very well on her own, in the best way she could. But being alone was never your thing, you grew up wanting to explore the world. Every moment, the desire to visit new places in different cities, to meet new sims and maybe flirt... a lot. You wanted that very much too, because hook up with only one sim is not your style.

Traits: Romantic, Noncommittal, Lazy Aspiration: Teen: Drama Queen Adult: Serial Romantic | Love Note: If you finish the teenage aspiration early, you can start the adult aspiration in this phase. Career: Critic | Branch: Chosen by you

Rules:

Complete both teenage and adult aspirations;

Have at least 10 romantic relationships in your life;

Get married and divorced twice with different sims (you can take money from your spouses if you wish);

Have 3 children from different relationships (Note: we'll do it differently here, among the 3 children, you can choose who will inherit your legacy. It can be your firstborn or your favorite child… let's agree that every mother/father has one 😂).

Reach at least level 5 in the Critic career. As our generation is lazy, you don't have to complete the career if you don't want to.

Die as an elderly sim while woohooing.

Generation 5: Physalis | Color: Orange

Requires: Snowy Escape Expansion Pack and My First Pet Stuff Pack

Your family was large and chaotic, but despite the differences in preferences and dislikes, you all manage to get along very well. This makes these relationships quite miraculous. Unlike your siblings, your life was all about adventure and the unexpected. The butterflies in your stomach that you felt during these adventures were the best feeling in the world for you and all you wanted was to be an athlete. Despite always putting your career first, you love your children and strive to be a good mother, even though you know you weren't born for it.

Generation 6: Grapefruit | Color: Peach

Requires: Base Game

Your mother put her career first, and you grew up feeling neglected. You felt the effort, yet she couldn't meet your expectations, much less your feelings. You carried the hurt in your heart, especially because you always suspected that she loved your brother more than you. And your brother…ugh, you can't even think about him because you hate him so much. Your only weakness is your father and the family hamster. Otherwise, the world is your playground.

Traits: Self-Assured, Evil, Perfectionist Aspiration: Public Enemy | Deviance Career: Criminal | Branch: Chosen by you

As an adult, seek forgiveness from your brother and mother. Become good friends with both.

Generation 7: Dragon Fruit | Color: Pink

Requires: City Living expansion pack and Spa Day game pack

You grew up surrounded by crime. Both of your parents were top-notch criminals and you witnessed everything up close as a child and teenager. Despite all the bad things they did, you knew you were protected by them. You struggled with yourself, but loved them with all your heart and hated yourself for it. It was a true internal conflict, after all, you don't choose your parents. But one thing you can choose: your actions. That's why you were going to make up for all the bad things they did and give twice as much good to the world. You would show everyone that a criminal's daughter could do good and change her own destiny.

The heir to the legacy will be a trans woman.

Generation 8: Figo | Color: Lilac

Requires: Life in the Countryside Expansion and University Life Expansion

Your mother is the best sim in the world to you. How can someone be a well of kindness, philanthropy, and altruism? Well… You don't know the answer, nor the story behind it because your mother never told you, but you know she is much more than just an inspiration, she is a way of life. That's why you chose to follow in her footsteps, but listening to your own heart since your dream was to be an educator and lead a simple and happy life alongside the sims you love.

Traits: Lactose Intolerant, Bookworm, Childish Aspiration: Country Caretaker | Nature Career: Educator | Branch: Your choice

Marry your soulmate, who must have the Family trait and already have children;

Have two children, one of them must be adopted. Add your spouse's children to the family.

Generation 9: Blueberry | Color: Blue

Requires: Get to Work Expansion Pack, University Life Expansion Pack, and High School Life Expansion Pack (this last one due to the "Overachiever" trait, which can be replaced for any other trait if you dont have this expansion pack).

Your mother was a great educator and you grew up inspired by the desire to learn. Going to college became a dream, and it was there that you discovered you wanted to be a detective. But not just any detective, you want to reach the top. As no one is perfect, you have a secret: you are a collector of objects. You can't see something new and beautiful without wanting to buy it, can you? Luckily, you will work hard to buy everything you want, just never let anyone into your basement.

Traits: Materialistic, Neat, Overachiever Aspiration: Academic | Knowledge Career: Detective

Have a basement full of knick-knacks, due to the same trait.

Generation 10: Cassis | Color: Black

Requires: City Living Expansion Pack, Get Together Expansion Pack, and High School Expansion Pack

To say that you're popular is an understatement considering how well-liked you are. You are loved, admired, and everyone wants to be your friend. It's almost as if you exude a hypnotic aura. As a result, you have every sim in the palm of your hand, and you like it that way. If anyone ever dislikes you, it will sound like an insult, and you will do everything to resolve the situation and get all the appreciation you deserve.

Traits: Outgoing, Creative, Hates Children Aspiration: Teen: Admirable Icon

Adult: Friend of the World | Popularity Career: Social Media | Branch: Public Relations Rules:

Generation 11: Guaraná | Two-toned hair + Heterochromia

Requires: Parenthood Game Pack, Dream Home Decorator Stuff Pack

You're a mixture of the mundane and the supernatural. You're not sure who you are, nor even what you like. Nothing you do seems to work out, and indecision is a constant in your life. Additionally, you and your father don't see eye to eye and have a difficult relationship.

Hello 👋 I really love your wordless NSB and I was wondering if you had any tips on making a narrative less story? I hope your having a wonderful day/night.

What an awesome question! I'd love to answer this!

Tips and Tricks for a narrative-less story:

Use gameplay as plot! - This might seem obvious but just play your game. The reason I am continuously so invested in my NSB is because I use it to explore parts of the game I haven't before (IE Uni when it came out and then Batuu and then Get Famous). That kept me interested and I just had my sims do the actions in game to see what was even available. Then I take photos and I make a story around that. A lot of Armie/Ruby's Uni dates are mostly in game animations or centered around the Uni prompted events. And then I just use poses around it to tell a bigger story.

Embrace the weird! - Did your sim sleep with an alien and has a werewolf boyfriend on the side? Sims is wonky! It's funny and that's what makes it fun and the plots a little crazy. Honestly embrace whatever your game gives you. It's free plot.

Have a base storyline! - Have some goals or somewhere to go. Using legacy rules is the best way to do this. Find a legacy you like and sort of mold the basic storyline around it. I promise the game will give you free plot as you play. Don’t be afraid to deviate from the rules if your story idea or your sims go out of the box.

Scale down! - Natural writers are going to want to make an even bigger story as you get to know your sim and their world. But if the concept is too complicated that you need dialogue, then you gotta scale back. Make it simpler. This is what is keeping me away from finishing Raia's story. I am working on scaling it down to a more easy to understand without words story. If it's too complicated, scrap it. Move on.

Feel free to go out of order! - And by this I mean, let's say something fun happens while you are playing but you didn't get any good shots of it/the game animations weren't what you wanted. Go back and reshoot it using poses. Or if you have a very specific bit in mind, use poses! Feel free to do a mix of gameplay and poses. it keeps it looking a little more natural in game.

Don't overuse speech bubbles! - Honestly the game expressions can oftentimes speak for themselves. Sims make some truly amazing faces. And using speech bubbles with icons can limit what your audience gets from that post. Everyone will interpret it a little differently and that's part of what makes it so accessible to people of all languages.

And of course, have fun with it! Find a sim you really like and then go ham. That's what I did with Armie. I fell in love with her face and here we are now 3 gens in :') And I have some plans for the future of her family and cannot wait to do them!

Thank you for asking this question! I really loved thinking about this! I hope it helps and feel free to ask any more questions.

If you make a story like this, I'd love to see it! Drop it in my ask box so I can read it all!

[dridsimsheart]

Our founder is Menta Coris, she is a very serious girl, not very shy but has no sense of humor. She owns a cat named TifTof. She found the pet while exploring, Menta immediately saw it was different from any other pet. Since then, they are best friends forever. She recently moved to Strangerville, living on a trailer. But soon things will get a little... Strange

(This Alien cat was made by the awesome @gothoffspring, I just changed the color pink to white to fit the aesthetic, hope you don't mind XDD)

I finally got the courage and started a save on sims 4....I was planning on do Not So Berry, but the idea of playing just with the base game features doesn't seem appealing to me. So I will re-invent NSB on my way and my rules <3

[cyazurai]

Hello hello!

I felt it was finally time for me to create a pinned navigation post for my blog.

Deadly Apocalypse Challenge

I have created a challenge based around the Ultimate Decades Challenge, but in a post-apocalyptic setting. If you are interested in it, it is linked above!

Anonymously Autonomous Legacy Challenge

Another challenge I have created, this time as an updated version of the I'm Surrounded by Idiots challenge rules, in a way that will hopefully not seem ableist or insulting to anyone. Click above to be taken to the rules!

My YouTube Channel

Located under the link above is my YouTube channel, sappychan, where I post Let’s Plays. Right now I only have a NSB Let’s Play and one episode of an Ultimate Decades Challenge but I may eventually include some other gameplays, and perhaps even some CAS videos.

My Simself NSB from the beginning

The above link will take you to the very beginning of my casual Not So Berry, where I used my simself as the founder, even though she’s basically nothing like me except genetics.

The Ward Name Game Legacy from the beginning

The above link will take you to the very beginning of my Name Game legacy, which I started all because I wanted a casual legacy to test out the new infant life stage, and what better way than with a Name Game? It’s a legacy that hasn’t had an updated ruleset in a while, but it doesn’t really need it. If you want to read the rules, they are located here: Name Game Legacy.

The De Witte Princess Legacy from the beginning

The above link will take you to the very beginning of my Princess Legacy, which follows the new rules created by samssims. The founder is Eirlys de Witte, Snow White, and it follows her and her descendants as they go through their fairy tale lives. The rules are located here: Samssims’ Princess Legacy.

On Temporary Hiatus

The Huerta Time of Your Life Legacy from the beginning

Going to the above link will take you to the beginning of the legacy that I plan to get back to eventually. It is the only legacy I have played with a storyline in mind, and it is written as diary entries from the founder/heirs. The rules for this legacy were created by the talented aliennooboo, located here: Time of Your Life rules.

Other Things

The Spare Parts Build a City Challenge blog

Going to the link above will take you to my side blog, @sparepartsbacc. I took an extended break from this challenge, but I am back to it because my love for the BACC has been rekindled, and it's just so much more fun when it includes more than just my sims. The rules I follow are located here: BACC ruleset.

My CC

Occasionally, I get the desire to make a recolor of something, or a mod or something. This is where you can find those items.

[natolesims]

I WANT YOUR OPINION

So.

Here’s the situation: I might or might not be about to end the gameplay for the NSB series. As this is a 10 gen challenge, the story is a bit on the long side; so the series is gonna be around for a while~ 

Because of that, I want to add variation to the posts I make. As much as I love the Berry family, I have a couple of series on the making, being one Happily Ever After, a story based on the well-known Disney Princess challenge. The other one is on a construction hiatus because I  refuse to open that save until I have a new laptop.  This Disney save is more of a drama and angsty story (I’ll be pinning a mature theme disclaimer soon @ the blog) and not as much gameplay-based as the NSB. Of course I’m playing mainly under the challenge rules, but I tried to add some spice to keep things interesting.

The main reason I’m asking for your opinion is because this gameplay is somewhat “new” (I’m at the middle of gen 3), is up to date with the game feaures, and I think it would be cool to have you guys closer to the storytelling. But I know having two long stories to catch up at the same time can be overwhelming, considering there are a ton more of stories you must be reading right now. 

So, I made a voting poll! Depending on the results, I might be starting this new series on the blog while keeping up with the NSB story. As I’ve been doing so far, there would be a couple posts for each series on a daily basis. So please, if you are interested and have a little time, please click the link below and help me sort this out! Also, retroactive comments are always welcome 😬

Cas Founders Challenge

Rules: Post all of your founders together to compare and contrast them! Share some details to see how similar or different they are. This can be done in CAS, or you can jump in game, or you can share old screenshots!

Nan|Snowdrop|Cucumber|Azure|Emeila|Glitter|Rose|Capri|Danica|Paris|Opal|Aloe

I’m just gonna say that @samssims​ tagged me since she said if anyone wants to do it, say she tagged you so here we are. I realized I had way too many founders. 

I tag @greenfooddog​

Details Under the cut

Nan (NSB) - I originally got Nan from a sim request I had sent to @hula-zombie​ so very long ago and she didn’t always look like she did. I decided I wanted to use her for a new NSB since I lost my old save so I changed up her colors and here we are. I love her so much and still so happy Caitlin made her for me.

Snowdrop (BPR) - Oh my precious Snowdrop. Not many have even seen her unless I have sent you spoiler photos or posted some in the berry server I’m in. But Snowdrop is my founder for my story-based BPR and I haven’t posted any cause I haven’t set everything up for it but wrote sooo much for it and if you want to read any of what I’ve wrote so far for it, you may dm me.

Cucumber (Seven Songs) - Oh Cucumber, my sweet bean. Back to what I said regarding Snow’s story, the thing is my BPR and Seven Songs are connected. Cucumber is the cousin of my future pink spouse in my BPR so again why you probably haven’t seen Cucumber unless I had sent pics to you talking about her. I seriously love her though and it will all come to light at some point, but if you want to read the story so far or just want some spoilery pics, dm me (:

Azure (BOL) - So if you’ve been following for a bit, you would know that I tried to do a Bachelorette Challenge called Berry of Love like Caitlin(hula-zombie) did. People sent me all there sims and you know what ended up happening? Yeah I realized I could not do a bachelorette challenge even though I really wanted to and I am so sorry to the ones that sent me sims. I just didn’t know how to set it up or try to make it even semi-decent. But I did recently give makeovers to the sims sent to me and our bachorette herself, Azure. I still count her as a founder even if that challenge just bombed. And if you want to see the makeovers, you can dm me.

Emeila (DPR) - Emeila is super new, I decided I wanted to do a DPR even though I’ve started so many other challenges. She hasn’t left cas yet so someday she will.

Glitter (Cas BPR) - Everybody in the berry server was doing it and it looks so fun especially do see all the color combos just using cas so I found my old sim, Heather and berrified her and Glitter Frost was born and I love her and all the sims after her looked sooo good. 

Rose (Garden Legacy) - Rose is my first red sim and I love her, she’s super cute and I love playing with her and love how she takes her pets with her everywhere. And her and Almond are gonna have super cute babies I already know.

Capri (100 Berry Babies) - Oh Capri, we are almost to 10 babies and I still love this girl and the babies have been sooo cute. Capri is also now a B-list celeb and mastered the painting skill. I think I’m gonna be sad when I have to pick the next one to have 10 babies.

Danica (Forgotten Realms Legacy) - Danica originally a sim in my household I had when Get Together came out. I hadn’t done anything with her in years since I lost that save and her traits already fit for the first gen of the Forgotten Realms Legacy by @anxiousmoodlet​ so I berrified her and made her a matcha spouse and Danica ended up looking really nice as a purple berry so success.

Paris (Berry Bouquet Legacy) - Paris was made specifically for a challenge I definitely wanted to try and have played a bit of it so far and I had some friends in the berry server even provide me with some sims for it including the future spouse. So thank you to those people and thank you to @sinfulwunderss​ for making that legacy challenge.

Opal (BPR Gameplay) - So while in the berry server, we started talking about doing bpr gameplays that don’t have a story so we can just have fun but still do a bpr but without a story. So Opal was born and she was my second sim to make with no pupils but with stars in her eyes hense her name Opal Moonstone. I also made her mother, Pearl Moonstone who is harsh and mean but they get along alright. I’ve played quite a bit of this save so far and it’s so fun and I used Tulip from my cas bpr but with full pink skin instead of white and white and pink two-toned eyes and the lovely @dcwnandout​ provided my purple spouse, Thistle. And more people from the berry server are providing more sims for it. They are really great there, if you like berry sims or banilla, you should definitely join. Just shoot @sweetlysimss​ or @berryconfetti​ a message.

Aloe (Seven Songs Gameplay) - Along with my gameplay BPR, I also decided to do a Seven Songs gameplay. And Aloe is definitely a treasure and I love her pet fox, Cotton Candy and her cat, Clover. I have played a bit of this save so far and I quite like and thanks to @fridays-sims​ I already have the future teal spouse and they are getting along quite nicely. And once again I have people providing sims for the future gens and I still have room on there for bpr and seven songs so you can do that here if you want to provide a sim.

Hi :) Do you have any tips for telling a story through your gameplays? Or even starting a legacy challenge?

When I was in the middle of writing this, I realized it’s all over the place and not everything probably answers your question, but they’re all things I’ve learned in my three years of being a simblr and trying to tell stories through this game. I hope at least some of it will be useful 😊 There are currently 2 different ways I approach storytelling. My Rose Legacy is mainly planned in advance with breaks for regular gameplay (but I focus on the story, therefore less completely random stuff happens). Golden Days, aka the gen 4 story I keep talking about but haven’t shown much of, is planned in advance completely (I write it first, then I go in the game to take pictures) and has no true gameplay parts. And then there are NSB and BPR, which are mainly about me having fun with the game. A lot of random stuff may and will occur. I do some planning too, but nothing too heavy usually.

But onto those legacy tips now. Some apply more to Roses, some to my other two legacies. Just get inspired by what you think could work for you!

It’s under the cut!

1. Come in with no big expectations

This might be just a coincidence, but it’s something I’ve noticed happened with all my big legacies. The only intention I had when I started them was to have a good time playing the game that I love. Don’t immediately think “I’m going to make the best founder ever” or “this is it, I’ll never create a better legacy”. Don’t stress yourself too much about it, just have fun. Don’t force yourself to be head over heels about your founder from the beginning, you will form a natural “bond” with them and their family as you play and get to know them better. They don’t have to be the best sim in the legacy, you might like their children more. It happened in all my legacies: I like Ezra more than Amelia, Isaac more than Elizabeth, Roxanne more than Gwyneth and (even though it wasn’t like that from the beginning) Ross more than December.

2. Have a basic idea of what you want to do

I found that I like setting requirements for myself because if I don’t do that, I’ll do what I’m always doing in the game, and well, then it all gets boring so quickly. When you’re playing a challenge-based legacy, you already have these requirements you have to complete somehow. If it seems too easy, just add your own! I’ll be doing that in my grey generation because I’ve already finished a lot of the requirements during the yellow generation, and this one would be too short and easy.

3. Try things you’ve never done before

Step out of your comfort zone! Think about what you’ve never done or explored in the game before: complete some aspirations, master some skills, have a certain number of relationships your heir will have to have in their life, make a rule about how many children your sim will have…have these basic guidelines, but don’t forget to give yourself some freedom too. Which brings me to the next point.

4. Whatever comes your way, roll with it

This is something I’ve been doing a lot in my NSB and it’s so much fun. Your house is on fire? It sucks, but don’t quit. This sim keeps showing up and wants to talk to your sim? Maybe they could be friends…or maybe enemies. Or maybe enemies to lovers! Was your spellcaster cursed? Nice, don’t you dare to exit without saving, challenge yourself and break the curse. Do you get an impulsive need to abduct your sim? Turn them into a vampire? GO FOR IT! Go crazy. Do bizarre things. Act on a whim. Let your sims suffer from time to time. Get inspired by the awful things the game throws at you. You could also make a list of things to do in the game, assign them numbers and then use google to roll the dice. Actually, I think I’ve seen someone make something like this already, but I might be making that up right now.

Basically: have goals, but leave some free space for unexpected twists. It’s like life, isn’t it? You focus on something, but sometimes, you can’t get straight to it. Obstacles happen.

5. And what about story-heavy parts?

If you want to add a part of a story that is less about gameplay, go for it! It can be refreshing. I always plan these parts in advance. Also, if I’m in the middle of a storyline, I usually break the previous rule, meaning that yes, I pretend some things didn’t happen, and yes, I quit without saving when something doesn’t go right. 

A perfect example is when Miracle burned to death while I was setting up another scene. If it happened in a gameplay, I’d be heartbroken, but I’d keep it (and maybe I would get a new, different storyline out of it). But in this case, I was in the middle of the story and I couldn’t just let her die, it would affect everything and I wasn’t in the mood for that monstrous rewriting. (it was in the middle of quads’ storylines and really, I don’t think they’d be in the mood for going on dates right after their mother died, but that’s off topic)

6. If you need to, take a break

This sounds simple, but I’m always surprised how often people force themselves to open their saves just to crank out content for their simblr. Why? You’ll just end up being bored and bitter and very often, you can tell when someone isn’t having fun with their game (or simblr in general). It took me four months to feel like opening the Rose save again. It would be pointless to make myself load it up when I actually don’t want to play it. Remember what I said in that first point: you want to have a good time. If you’re not having it, just leave. Take that break. You don’t owe anything to anyone, and if anyone tries to tell you otherwise, well…they’re the asshole here, not you. You can get burned out or uninspired from time to time, it happens, it’s natural, don’t feel bad about it. Get some rest and then come back - next week or next month, doesn’t matter.

7. Small generations are the best

I learned this the hard way and yet I still find myself breaking this rule so often. Gen 5/6 of Rose Legacy were exhausting because there were just so many sims and so many stories I wanted to tell. I still ended up scrapping a lot of them and I’m not satisfied with it. My tip would be have less children per generation, but write down your story ideas and just use them in later generations. Be patient. In fact, as the time goes, you can develop these stories and get rid of the flaws, so in the end they’ll be better than if you have used them all in one generation!

8. Writing prompts, tags and ask games are amazing

If I develop a character more, I find it easier to get attached to them - and then I’m less likely to quit the save too. I’ve had many pretty sims, but I let them go in the end because they had no depth. You can always develop your sims on your own. No one is stopping you from sitting down and writing all the headcanons you have for them. 

However, what I find more fun are ask games with questions about your OC. Not only you’re challenged to think about something new (these questions can be about awfully specific things, I love when that happens), but you also learn which characters people are interested in or what they want to know about them, and then you can work with that too. However, don’t get discouraged if no one asks anything. It happens a lot and it’s hard to then not feel down, but you’re not the only one. It’s not even that big of a deal when you think about it! (I’m still learning this, by the way, I’m always discouraged when no one asks haha.) I’d suggest that you interact with others. One thing I always try to do is leaving an ask for the person I’m reblogging from - of course, sometimes I just can’t think of anything, but if it’s something as simple as dropping some question numbers, then why wouldn’t I leave them there and just pick a character I like?

9. Get inspired, but don’t become a copycat

This one…inspiration is great, but make sure you’re not taking it too far. I don’t want to draw a line where inspiration ends and imitation/copying begins, as I know that everyone sees it differently and what I’d consider copying someone else would still call inspiration, so basically, I’d just say follow your heart and be nice. Taking someone else’s storyline and just playing it step by step with your own characters is not okay. Also speaking of imitation - imitating a person’s writing style or sense of humor can sometimes be tricky. It comes natural to them, but you’re just trying to be like them and it might show and it won’t feel right. Allow outer sources to inspire you and shape you into a better writer, but stay yourself at all times and you’ll be just fine. 💕 

10. Play for yourself, not for other people

This probably should’ve been the first tip. Do the things you want to do, not the things that are currently trendy in the community. I mean, if you want to do the trendy thing, that’s fine! But if you’re only doing it because everyone else is doing it, well, you’re not going to enjoy it. Same with…let’s say you have a sim and she has to pick between two guys. A typical love triangle. You want her to end up with guy A, you have good reasons why you want her to end up with him, but your followers want her to end up with guy B. Maybe listen to their reasons and consider them, but in the end, you’re the one who’s making the decision. And if you still feel like she should end up with guy A, then just let her. Don’t completely give up everything to please your readers.

I can’t really think of anything anymore, but I think I’ve said enough. I hope it made sense. I wrote most of this on the train so yeah 😅 Also, sorry it took me so long.

style swap challenge

rules: choose your favourite sim (could be yours or could be someone else’s) and take three pics of them: 1 maxis match, 1 alpha and 1 with no cc/base game.

sooooooo i was tagged in this a little while ago by the lovely @calisimgirl! ofc i chose peppa from my nsb challenge, but tbh i kinda made it more difficult by doing so, due to her weird ass hair and its colour - especially with the alpha one (i couldn’t find any hairs that were close to hers as well as any coloured eyebrows lmao) so i did kinda cheat and use a little photoshop for the headband and brows. even the no cc one was really hard, and tbh reinforced the fact that even thou my laptop is shit at running the sims i will never be able to clean out my cc cos she looks SO BAD MOCSOMDWQNXP

anyway, i tag @littlemissnellie, @surreysimmer, @tiredtoothache, @clovervalley and @dustysunflowers! feel free as always to ignore if you’ve already done it ♡

Hello, are the rules for your not so berry the lilsimsie ones or different? (sorry, this is a dumb question)

Hello! I love this question!

My answer is basically rules schmules! I am truly just living my best life with this family under the guise of an NSB.

I did base it off of the lilsimsie rules but now there are so many NSB iterations that I am just pulling from everywhere and more importantly having fun in my game. So I am using every generation to explore parts of the game I never have before and want to:

Gen One: Mint - University/Robotics/Vampires Gen Two: Rose - Uni/Get Famous/BC Challenge! Gen Three: Yellow - Batuu (Space!) Gen Four and onward: ???

So I don't have it planned out, I am just having fun with it.

Some rules I have looked over and pulled ideas from:

NSB by lilsimsie

NSB 2 by simmer-emsie

NSB 2.0 by simqueen8

Random Story Facts

I was tagged by @sparkiemonkey to do this. Thank you very much! Honestly, tags like this one kind of feel like a blessing because I can just ramble about anything shamelessly :D Also, sorry I’m not really around these days and all you get is a queue. I’d love to be here but I’m busy.

Created by @fataleromeo

Please use the hashtag [ #randomsf tag ] so I can check yours out!

We all have them. Little bits of our stories that exist only in our heads. Things we know but never seem to find a way to share for whatever reason. Or maybe you’ve mentioned it in passing but haven’t gotten a chance to explain. Either way, here’s your opportunity to spill!

Rules: Copy and paste this into a new post and then tell us five (5!) little bits of trivia about your story. It can be about the characters, plot, you name it. Then tag a few storytelling friends and keep the game going!

I very often get my characters’ names or surnames from books, movies, TV shows and stories I like - it’s not always direct inspiration, sometimes I don’t even realize I already know a character with that name, but often I can track it back to someone. We all know about Tyler, but he’s not the only one - though definitely the most obvious. To be fair, he’ll have a competition soon-ish. As soon as Lydia and Myra have a baby, but you didn’t hear that from me. (spoiler: it’ll be a reference to a certain Netflix show I like and am currently watching and every episode fucks me up more and therefore I am not able to binge watch it 😂) Some other examples of characters being indirectly named after characters from books I’ve read/TV shows I’ve watched/etc are definitely Bianca, Caleb, Ezra, Juliet, Dorian, Regan’s girlfriend (not Nerine)...also, fun fact, Marie and Scarlett were coincidentally named after an old Winx OC I had a long time ago - Letty, fairy of Literature. Her full name was Scarlett Marie of...idk what. And she was a princess.

Out of all my legacies, I only consider Roses to be story-based. Sure, not even my BPR and NSB are pure gameplay, but with Roses, I plan way more in advance and in detail (and, if I ever shared a sim from the Rose Legacy with you, you might notice that their in-game traits sometimes don’t even match the way I write them). With the other two legacies, it’s more like “okay, I could do this at some point”, and when I feel like, I do it.

I’ve been meaning to create playlists for my characters for ages. But the problem is, I never know what songs to put there (and when I do, I’m weirdly worried someone will demand explanation - idk man, that song just feels right for the character, let it go). I’m only inspired for Tyler and Sharon, but I don’t think I can justify having half a playlist consisting of just Bon Jovi songs 😂😅 (I’ve talked about that before I think - I don’t know how it happened that I associate these two with that music, but I’m actually not complaining.)

Though it might not seem like that, I have never dropped Golden Days (better known as the high school story but I’m learning to call it by its right name). I’m still working on it, I’m polishing it...I’m trying to convince myself to create poses and take the screenshots...that’s the hardest part. I love writing about these characters, I love imagining the story in my head, but somehow I can’t get myself to make it come true. But I’m writing it and I’m proud of some of the dialogues and exchanges between characters, they’re so fun.

Where I currently am in all my saves: Roses have already moved to the new town, but that’s pretty much the only thing I did (okay, well, I had to build a new house and that took me a while). Sunset and Dawn just got married and it was a mess because I didn’t realize that a wedding in the afternoon is not a good idea when some of the family members are vampires. And last but not least, BPR. My gen 2 heir got back from Champs Les Sims and now I’m waiting for her siblings to grow up and move out before I let her have kids with her spouse...this household is starting to be too much for me to handle and so I can’t do it just yet.

I’ll tag @vintageplumbobs, @dandylion240, @desira-sims, @cloudberry-sims and any other storyteller out there who wants to do this!
