ASCENDANT LEGACY CHALLENGE RULES

If you know me, you know how obsessed I am with astrology.

I have studied astrology and chart reading for years and I wanted to create two of my oldest and deepest loves, the sims and astrology. This is a 12 Gen legacy challenge focused on the Ascendant/Rising sign, so I named the challenge the Ascendant Legacy Challenge tag-> #ts4 Ascendant Legacy

The challenge has lots of different aspects and items, so read the entire post. The challenge isn’t base game friendly, but can be adapted

Full Challenge Rules below the cut

(please reblog to share, it would mean a lot since this is my first challenge and it took weeks to write!)

This is probably the most in-depth challenge you have seen (at least that I have seen), but it will be really worth it and completely replayable.

ASCENDANT LEGACY CHALLENGE

This challenge has 5 Steps, so make sure to check each step since each Gen has 2 challenges to complete (Steps 3 & 5).

The Ascendant (Rising sign) is the Zodiac sign that was coming over the Eastern Horizon when the native (the person) was born – it represents the identity of the person, their physical appearance, their self, and journey in life. It sets up the birth chart and aligns the Houses. This will also dictate your sims and their challenges for their lives.

Houses represent the areas of life all people experience. Depending on the placement of ascendant in the birth chart, the houses will be ordered in a particular way. This legacy challenge is based on the Tropical zodiac using Whole Sign Houses. This will be the Gen challenge to complete with your Ascendant/Rising Challenge.

Disclaimer – everyone is unique and will have a different birth chart. As the birth chart is unique and complex, some elements may not resonate with some people due to other placements in the chart, planetary rulership, age, life experiences, etc. This doesn’t mean the information is incorrect, just different.

Step 1: Your Founder

Choose a number between 1-12.

This is the ascendant of your legacy founder (note 1). This challenge is to be played in Zodiacal order, meaning if you choose #8 as your founder, Gen 2 will be #9, Gen 3 will be #10 and so on until you finish Gen 12 with #7.

Step 2: Create your legacy founder

I designed this challenge to be played on either normal or long life-span, but you could also play with aging turned off. If you struggle to complete the challenges in the lifespan, age-slowing methods are allowed – please send me a message (ask/submit) on where the sticking points were and why

Assign the traits/aspiration/career based off the number you chose for your sim, listed in (note 1)

I chose these based on the ascendant descriptors and the houses each sign rules in astrology. I tried to change up the gameplay from other things I’ve seen and leaned more on the house system (more on that later). I stayed away from the stereotypes, so you might not recognize the choices I made, but trust me.

Of course, these traits/descriptions are not intended to hurt anyone’s feelings or generalize any signs, I really want to change up the gameplay and tie back to astrology the best I can. Nothing in astrology is good or evil, it is all through context and a holistic approach.

Your sims will be assigned 2 traits and either an aspiration and/or career. The third trait is up to you based on your sims flavour, storyline, and life, but I provided a suggestion for most. Feel free to add even more traits (through the add traits / mccc menu). Not all people are the same and not all zodiac signs are the same either!

Step 3: Zodiac Challenges

move your founder onto a lot and set funds between $0-1000 depending on your gameplay style. You can choose an empty lot, an apartment, a starter home – the choice is yours based on your gameplay style.

Complete your sims requirements for the Generation – Zodiac and House challenges.

Your founders can be any gender, human/occult, born or adopted – I don’t mind at all, the choice is yours. You must complete the Generations in Zodiacal order based on your founder’s rising/ascendant sign, this is the rule.

Avoid using excessive cheats, it will ruin your gameplay and take the fun out of the gameplay. Feel free to use mods and change things up if you are missing a pack. At the end of the day, it’s your gameplay and the goal is to have fun!

Step 4: Ascendant Zodiac Challenges

(see note 1 for zodiac traits/skills/careers/aspirations).

Each zodiac sign has a challenge to complete that is unique to the sign. I tried to choose challenges that highlighted the good or bad side of each sign and would add to your gameplay.

You can choose in what order or life stage the challenges occur based on your gameplay. Feel free to use mods to help or hinder progress, add extra challenges or influence your gameplay, but don’t just cheat and ignore the challenges.

The numbers are based on step 1, not the order of the Generations!

Modality: Mutable Air, Planetary Ruler: Mercury

Gemini is ruled by Mercury and as an air sign, it’s focus is on communication and thought. Gemini Rising’s thirst for knowledge and fine tuning to details makes it the ideal candidate for forging its own path. Your Gemini sim wants to learn and share with others, building the community they live in. Family is who you are born to, and who you choose to be with, Gemini knows this.

Gemini has covert, mysterious energy, leading to the misconception that they are “two faced” when it is that they be perceived as stoic and perceptive, or bubbly and witty.

Cancer can also be perceived as naïve and impressionable, which can lead to them struggling with the indifference of others, caring too much about their opinions and craving their validation. Escapism can lead Cancer down a dark path of being convinced to join nefarious groups or ideologies.

In order to heal, Cancer must look deep within themselves and find solitary experiences, let go of others opinions, and find strength and happiness within themselves.

Leo sims are strong-willed and loyal, much like the lions in the wild. Leo rules the heart and cardiovascular system, and your Leo will be the life-force of the town, which can lead those closest to feel jealous of their perceived luck as lack of hard work. Covertly, Leos can suffer from hidden traumas and the feeling of inadequacy, resulting in extreme perfectionism and being self-critical that their hard work is unnoticed and that others think they are handed everything in life. Leos learn hard lessons from those in their lives, experiencing the highest of highs and lowest of lows. Life will not be boring or insignificant for Leo Rising.

#6 Virgo Rising:

Gloomy, Bookworm

Aspiration: choose

Career: Scientist / (BG: Tech-Guru)

Modality: Mutable Earth, Planetary Ruler: Mercury

Virgos Risings are often misunderstood, perceived as neurotic and perfectionists, they are actually a sign that lives with a purpose to service others and make the world a better place. Doom and gloom can be common for this sign, which can lead to mental and physical illness and financial issues if they focus too much on unsustainable workloads for little reward. Virgo Rising can struggle with completing projects or goals, which can make them harsh on themselves, believing that they aren’t doing enough. overcome this challenge, Virgo needs to work on endurance and balance and finish what they start.

Virgo is a sign that can find great, fairy-tale love. This challenges them to accept the imperfection of life and to see the bigger picture. Having fun and finding what is right for Virgo will be the key to happiness and success.

Master the wellness skill and jog regularly

Reach top of career

Have a garden with 10 excellent plants

Find their soulmate and grow old together

Complete a Location or Nature aspiration

#7 Libra Rising:

Cheerful, Romantic

Aspiration: Serial Romantic or Villainous Valentine, and Super Parent

Career: Law or Detective or Secret Agent

Modality: Cardinal Air, Planetary Ruler: Venus

Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of desire and harmony. They are the social butterfly of the zodiac with a magnetizing energy. Libras are the only sign ruled by an object, the scales which represent balance and justice. As a result, Libras Risings have the ability to adapt and see neutrality and nuance in situations, which makes them a great investigator. Opposites attract is a common theme as the birth chart is the opposite of the natural order. Libras Risings can often struggle with emotions, feeling overly emotional reacting to mundane aspects of life and detached during tragedies or joyful events.

Your Libra is leaning a bit too far to one side of the scales, do you choose good, or do you choose chaos?

Choose the Super Parent aspiration after the aspiration in note 1

Fall for a telemarketing scam / investment scam should it present itself

Perform comedy routines or busking one night of the week

#8 Scorpio Rising:

Paranoid, Genius

Aspiration: Inner Peace

Career: Doctor or Civil Designer

Modality: Fixed Water, Planetary Ruler: Mars (co-ruler Pluto)

Scorpio risings are often misunderstood, as their depth and mystery can make those around them uncomfortable. To trust, Scorpio must be deeply connected to the people in their lives – they are intimidating those around them and are often made the antagonist by those who feel threatened or want power over situations.

Co-ruled by Mars and Pluto Scorpios seek out the truth and aren’t scared of the darkness in life, always transforming and learning. Their inner voice is powerful, and they have a strong sense of ethics at the cost of their success. Scorpios want to have fun, but can easily overdo the physical aspects and need to rest.

Have 2 relationships that fall apart and never speak to them again. Marry childhood friend (or sim met in first 3 days if Gen 1)

Earn a bad reputation and correct it

Have an accidental pregnancy or adopt multiple children

#9 Sagittarius Rising:

Self-Assured, Non-Committal

Aspiration: Choose

Career: Education (BG: Freelancer)

Modality: Mutable Fire, Planetary Ruler: Jupiter

Ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion and beliefs, Sagittarius rising is bold and loves to explore – new places, ideas, people, the list doesn’t stop. When a Sagittarius puts their mind to something, they can’t be waivered, the difficulty is getting them to commit to something for long enough. They are optimistic, and cheerful, but can be critical of others, not always practicing what they preach.

Contribute your knowledge by writing guidebooks and mentoring other sims

Master the fitness and cooking skill

Visit a new venue and/or host a party/event every week as a young adult/adult. (Get them out of the house!)

If not Gen 1: have a part time job / activity

Live go on vacation 2 times or live in 3 different worlds in their life time

#10 Capricorn Rising:

Materialistic, Neat

Aspiration: Successful Lineage

Career: Engineer / (BG: Business Oracle Branch)

Modality: Cardinal Earth, Planetary Ruler: Saturn

Capricorn risings are hard working and crave stability above all else. This can give them the impression of being a workaholic and stand-offish, but Capricorns don’t want to waste the previous life they have on the simple things. Ruled by Saturn, Capricorn can be lured into the false sense of maintaining aspects that don’t need to be. As a result, Capricorns can be seduced into the idea of settling into comfort, not reaching beyond to new pleasures and smelling the roses.

Complete the Successful Lineage aspiration

Reach level 10 of the career

Retire as an elder

Only become friends with employed (or retired) sims. Students must have part time jobs or activities to be considered “employed”

#11 Aquarius Rising:

Freegan, Unflirty

Aspiration: Choose

Career: Scout, Odd Jobs & Crafting (no careers but can own a store)

Modality: Fixed Air, Planetary Ruler: Saturn (and Uranus)

Aquarius risings are air signs known to be innovative, intellectual free thinkers. The water-bearer, the symbol of Aquarius represents giving and humanitarianism. As a Saturn ruled sign, Aquarians can be resistant to changes imposed on them, preferring to set their own rules.

Your Aquarius sim has had enough with the materialistic world, valuing small things in life rather than the flashy items they grew up around. Forging their own path, they will live off the land and build a community around them of like-minded sims of all walks of life.

Be a scout as a kid/teen (if Gen 1, Pisces (Gen 2) will be a scout)

Form a club of like-minded sims focused on environmental and creative activities

Move to a new world and live on an eco-friendly lot (off the grid, simple living– doesn’t have to be a shack)

Have multiple children

#12 Pisces Rising:

Creative, Clumsy

Aspiration: Country Caretaker / Outdoor Enthusiast

Career: Choose

Modality: mutable water, Planetary Ruler: Jupiter (and Neptune)

Ruled by Jupiter, Pisces risings can have trouble leaving the world inside their head, preferring to explore the endless bounds of their imagination. As the last sign of the zodiac, they are known as being the old soul with intuition and wisdom hidden just beneath the surface, but visible nonetheless.

Your Pisces has always struggled feel comfortable in their childhood home, finding the noise and external environment difficult to find peace in. That was until they discovered their art, finally being able to express how they feel and see the world to aweing audiences.

Be a scout as a kid (if Gen 1, Aquarius (Gen 12) will be a scout) – can skip if already done in Aquarius Gen

Play a musical instrument and paint

Stay out past curfew and / graffiti on murals throughout life

Become best friends with a non-sim character (e.g., servo, patchy, grim, etc.)

Step 4: Transit Challenges

In astrology, transits, simply put, are planetary events that occur that impact everyone. I have added in transit challenges in the House Challenges to impact your sim. Transit challenges are based on Modality in the Rising Signs

These challenges are made to be fun twists in your gameplay and to be less accurate or technical. They are only going to affect some sims, but in real life would affect everyone differently. I tried to make it so at least one of your heirs will be impacted by a transit. Here is a list of cheats you might need.

Step 5: House challenges

House Challenges: I keep talking about houses, and this is where they tie in. Each generation will have a special challenge based on the Whole Sign House system in astrology. All Gen 1 founders will have the same challenge, regardless of their zodiac sign, all Gen 9 heirs will have the same challenge.. you get the point. This will make the challenge harder or easier depending on the sign trying to complete it.

Your sim will need to complete their house challenge, mastering the house the area of life their zodiac sign rules in their chart. The challenges are based on the simplified, core concepts of each house.

Gen 1 – 1st house: House of Identity

The 1st house is the house of self, it represents the native (aka the person) – their personality and physical body, their interests and view on life, etc. The 1st house focuses on the individual, unlike many other areas of the birth chart. The Ascendant is always in the first house and their positioning sets up the rest of the chart – much like your founder sets up your legacy family. Explore, grow and create a legacy of your own. The goal of this Gen is to find your sims’ identity.

Gen 1 heir:

Complete the Renaissance Sim Aspiration

Play with 3 difficult lot challenges at all times

(recommended: filthy, grody, gremlins, simple living without deliveries). The lot traits should be challenging based off where your sim lives (Earthquake is not allowed since it doesn’t make any meaningful impact on your game).

Transit Challenge: Mercury Retrograde in the 1st house: Fire or Mutable Signs only – lack of focus and clarity with communication and knowledge. Add the argumentative trait as an adult.

Note: this aspiration will override the zodiac rising sign, but once complete, attempt the zodiac one. Story-based aspirations can be done simultaneously - here is a post on the steps for the Renaissance Sim aspiration (thanks Carl)

Gen 2 – 2nd house: House of Resources

The 2nd house is the resources of the native and focuses on what the person has and values. It occurs directly after the 1st house and holds the foundation of the identity through the native’s resources. As a second Gen heir, your focus is on what they own.

Play with the cursed lot trait from Gen 2’s birth (regardless if Gen 2 heir is first born), your Gen 1 sim accidently built their house on sacred land and the ancient spirits are angry… rightfully. (Note 3)

Complete one collection of your choice

Make 3 wishes in the wishing well, without bribes and live with the consequences (do this after Gen 3 is born / or if a solo household shift+click another sim into your household to prevent potential game over). Alternative: Make all your decisions using the future cube.

Gen 3 – 3rd house: House of Communication

The 3rd house represents schedules, local communities, short-distance travel, and siblings. It is often named the house of communication as it represents aspects of life in our daily lives and spaces. You’re a community leader after all!

Move to a new lot and/or world as a young adult (or teen, your storyline). Bulldoze the Gen 2 lot, move all remaining sims out into new and restore remaining funds to the amount before this action, minus $1,000 (example, if you had 23,400 before, cheat to combine family funds of 22,400).

Host a weekly event for sims in the community – bbq, pool party, book club, you name it!

Pack specific: Eco Lifestyle: successfully influence 3 neighbourhood action plans.

Invite in every sim that comes to your door when your household is home

Gen 4 – 4th house: House of Ancestry

The 4th house represents the family and ancestry, it is the roots and origins within the native. Sims with a strong 4th house will feel a connection to home. Make sure to take lots of pictures of your family to remember your sims by. Your sim isn’t perfect and can be a bit overbearing at times.

Only control descendants through your heir’s / spouse’s actions by influencing their children (Gen 5). You can do this until your Gen 4 completes their zodiacal ascendant challenge, or your Gen 5 heir ages into a teen. No limit on how many children, partners, or household dynamic you choose to have. (You can control the children in order to get them after-school activities/jobs, check their needs).

Have a 9pm curfew and discipline your Gen 5 sims with ��Strict” interactions,

Transit Challenge: Mars Conjoins Pluto. Cardinal signs (3rd trait) or Water signs only (2nd trait) – a transformation and shift of power and conflict. Change specified trait to Mean 4 in Adult Lifestage.

Gen 5 – 5th house: House of Pleasure

The 5th house is the house of pleasure and creativity. It represents the desires and fun parts of life, parties, creative projects, woohoos…

As the Gen 5 heir, your sim will entertain to their hearts desire. Your complicated (negative) relationship with your “parental figure” and chose to rebel from their rules, you decide to never be sheltered against.

Gen 5 heir:

Complete the Party Animal Aspiration.

Max a creativity skill and share their knowledge with the world by writing a guidebook.

You must accept every invitation

Adopt a child

Gen 6 – 6th House: House of Work

The 6th house is the house of work. It represents the mundane tasks and relationships we maintain to do the work that needs to be done. Health and visible injuries are associated with this house. It is also associated with maintenance, coworkers, and dependents (including pets).

As the Gen 6 heir, your sim is of the mindset, “if you want something done right, do it yourself”.

Young adult/Adult stages - Your sim will have to maintain their household – you cannot hire any services to assist you, including yourself… sim god – keeping the house clean and all items fixed. You can hire employees for your business and have clubs. You cannot drag dirty items from your sims’ inventory and must have them clean up after themselves. Use the Reduce/Recycle and Simple Living trait or Filthy for extra challenge.

Master the handiness skill by fixing every broken object in your house (can replace if burnt by a fire).

Lastly, marry a co-worker or club member/teammate (has to be an interest-based club)

Gen 7 – 7th House: House of the Other (Relationships)

The 7th house represents one-on-one relationships of all kinds, but it mostly associated with romantic relationships and other close important relationships. Compatibility with the 7th house is an important concept and can be discovered through a technique called Synastry, where one looks at two birth charts to see compatibility, especially between 1st and 7th house placements. A bad placement in the 7th house of the partner can be seen as future tension between the two parties.

Gen 7 heir must explore close relationships with others, searching for their soulmate. This isn’t an easy task and there are bumps along the way.

Your sim must be in a relationship with a sim with the opposing zodiac’s traits, which will fail and end in divorce. (you heir’s zodiac # from step 1 will be the basis of their partner’s traits)

Lessons learned the hard way, your sim doesn’t give up on love and must then find their soulmate, choosing a sim with another trait in the opposing zodiac trait list. (Example: an Aries sim must find two sims with Libra traits, the 1st fails and the 2nd lasts).

As intimate partnership is not the only meaningful relationship found in the 7th house…

become best friends with a professional sim (either in the career: lawyer, doctor, civil designer, professor, businessperson). This is because the 7th house also holds professional relationships with those who aid in contractual/business relationships.

Declare 2 public enemies since the 7th house is has known enemies

Transit Challenge: Venus in the 7th House Trines Jupiter: Earth or Mutable Signs only – A harmonious aspect between the two planets. Child & Teen heir, earn/cheat empathy Compassionate (good) Character Value trait.

Gen 8 – 8th House: House of Death

The 8th house is associated with death and shared finances as two things are guaranteed in life – death and taxes. It also rules contracts and share finances with partners found in the 7th house. Strong 8th house placements often find themselves in careers involving death or contracts, such as morticians, nurses, mediums, and accountants – as an accountant myself, I can tell you that accounting does feel like death sometimes.

There is something not right with the Gen 8thhouse, perhaps spirits can be found in the home to disturb the peace.

You must play in a Haunted House or with the Spooky lot trait as a young adult, how you handle this is up to you – but you cannot cheat death… or can you… After tragedy strikes, your sim is convinced there is a way to get their loved one back.

Your Gen 8 sim must revive a dead family member or friend sim (not from pleading to Grim).

Gen 9 – 9th house: House of Higher Knowledge

The 9th house is known as the house of philosophy and long-distance travel. It opposes the 9th house of schedules, primary-age knowledge, and short distance travel. This house is about exploration and finding the meaning of the world we live in. Prominent 9th house placements are often in careers such as professors, leaders in their fields, and inventors.

Your Gen 9 sim always was looking for more in this world after tragedies in their childhood. Curious, they long for a life of knowledge and adventure.

Pack specific: Gen 9 will attend university with a passion to learn they follow their purpose in life! Join one of the school clubs and rank up to level 3, attending all of the club events.

If you don’t have Discover University, reach level 6 in 4 skills, which is about how much you would in university

Have your sim live 3 different worlds, going on at least 2 vacations in their lifetime.

Become good friends / mentor / teach Gen 10 or 11 on a skill so the next Gen reaches level 5.

Gen 10 – 10th House: House of Career

The 10th house is known as the house of career and legacy as it opposes the 4th house of family and ancestry. Congratulations, you made it to the 10th Generation! Your time is not over yet, you must continue what you started.

Your Gen 10 is hard-working, dedicating their life to their career at the expense of the family, but what their kids don’t realize – all those hard hours dedicated to Gen 10’s craft, they are for the Family!

Finish the Fabulously Wealthy aspiration.

Max their career.

Gen 11 – 11th house: House of Networks

The 11th house is known as the house of social networks and is also associated with charity and humanitarian work. Strong 11th house placements are often well-connected in society and are known for their networks.

As with many prominent 11th house placements, your Gen 11 is no different. Determined to make a name for themselves after the prolific career path and success of their parent, your sim wants to contribute to the greater good.

Your sim much max the Politician career (either branch) – this overrides your Ascendant Zodiac challenge, dropping any ascendant career challenge to level 4.

If you don’t have City Living, max the heir’s career + charisma and logic and max the friend of the world aspiration.

Transit challenge: Saturn Retrograde indicating struggle to implement self-control. Cardinal or Fire signs only – Cheat/Earn Irresponsible character value trait and change/add Kleptomaniac trait.

Gen 12 – 12th House: House of Subconscious

The 12th house is known as the house of hidden or subconscious things, also known as the house of occult (which means that is hidden/unknown). Strong 12th house placements or difficult planetary transits can indicate struggles with mental health, hidden ailments, and hidden enemies.

Gen 12 is your last heir in the challenge, you have made it through the Ascendant Legacy! As your final heir, Gen 12 concludes the challenge – you must find what has been hidden. You may choose a path on how you finish the final chapter. Depending on your gameplay style,

Solve a mystery (choose between): Strangerville, become an occult of your choosing, complete the Jungle Explorer aspiration, or complete the Grilled Cheese aspiration as and astronaut – the choice is yours!

Own cowplants for your sim’s entire adult life-stage – try not to k-word them or be k-worded.

YOU ARE DONE THE ASCENDANT LEGACY CHALLENGE AND GOOD THINGS WILL COME TO YOU MY FRIEND!

Spacesuitsims (me) note to you – I hope you enjoyed this challenge and send me a message and screenshot of your gameplay, letting me know you found it. I would love to hear your feedback and learn about your sims. I’m not looking for astrology feedback, but I want to hear about your play-through experience.

Thank you so much for playing and share on the #ts4 Ascendant Legacy I will be relogging and liking from the tagged posts!

Note 1: Summary cheat sheet of traits

Unless specified, you don’t need to max all the suggested skills or career, but it is highly recommended that you do. Must achieve at least level 6 in all listed careers and level 4/5 of the way through each skill.

When you see “/” it means a choice between various options (often, because of pack limitations). Nothing or “ – “ written means your choice.

I’ve used Freelancer as a Base game (BG) option, but I suggest choosing the type relevant to the sign or skills.

Note 2: I will be making more posts to break down each step and summaries. I will also be making a mod list and gameplay tips all on the #ts4 Ascendant Legacy tag. Stay tuned.

Note 3: Special Note: Gen 2 and 3 has a special attention to the fact that, as a Canadian simmer, I live on the unseated land of the Indigenous people – First Nation, Inuit and Metis. I am posting this challenge during June, National Indigenous History Month in solidarity. Some links -> here, here, here

I wanted to add some Sims flare to this message and highlight the struggles for the preservation of land rights, access to basic resources such as clean water and healthcare, and need for safety of the women and girls who face exponential levels of danger.

I highly suggest researching the inequities and injustices of Indigenous people in your home country or abroad so that we can work to reconcile with the First Peoples of the lands we call home. This challenge is my way of spreading awareness of this issue to the sims community.

Note 4: If you want to search your own birth chart or find out more about astrology, here are some resources I used to write this challenge and in my own practice to get you started.
