*note*- the city native aspiration requires you to live in an apartment the first and last level of the aspiration. After you complete each of those specific requirements, move to mobile home immediately. This will make it fun for storyline purposes!
Final words:
By no means do you have to stick to everything included, switch it up, make it your own, and add some spice to the storylines for these Sims! You can collab this with other challenges as well. I have created a playlist of mobile homes to help you complete the challenge! Once I get my laptop I will create my own trailers and Sims for you all to add to your game! Please do not hesitate to tag me in your challenges and if you make an LP let me know #fortheloveofthesims

Sims 4 Expansion Legacy Challenge
This has probably been done before, but in 2021 I came up with what I'm calling the Expansion Legacy challenge. It's kind of like the legacy challenge but you go through each Expansion pack.
So you’ll start with one sim, and that sim’s goal is to complete the first Sims 4 expansion pack, which is Get to Work. That sim’s child will complete the second expansion (Get Together) and that sim’s child will complete the third (City Living) and so on and so forth, until you complete all expansion packs. As of December 2023, a completed family should have 15 generations - but I will update this post as each expansion pack comes out!
The goal is to reach the top of a career that comes with the expansion pack, and finish the pack's Aspiration. If the pack doesn’t have a career, you can choose another one (or none!) but you don’t have to reach the top of it, just focus on the Aspiration. If there’s no Aspiration, focus on the career. If there’s both, you have to reach the top of both.
For each expansion pack, your Sim should:
- wear clothes/hairstyles from their generation’s expansion pack
- live in a house decorated with Build/Buy stuff from their pack
- live in the world that came with the expansion pack
- optional: have traits that came with their expansion pack
Read below the cut for info on each pack!
Generations:
Gen 1: Get to Work
World: Willow Creek, Oasis Springs, or Newcrest

Aspiration: Friend of the Animals
Traits (optional): Cat Lover, Dog Lover
Gen 5: Seasons
World: Seasons doesn’t have a world, so stay in Brindleton Bay
Career: Gardener
Aspiration: Any, but I suggest something like Freelance Botanist
Gen 6: Get Famous
World: Del Sol Valley
Career: Actor/Actress
Aspiration: Master Actor/Actress or World Famous Celebrity
Traits (optional): Self-Absorbed
Gen 7: Island Living
World: Sulani
Career: Conservationist
Aspiration: Beach Life
Traits (optional): Child of the Islands, Child of the Ocean
Optional fun: Become a mermaid!
Gen 8: Discover University
World: Britechester
Career: Law, Engineer, or Education
Aspiration: Academic
Note: The main goal of this pack and its aspiration is to achieve a university Degree. I suggest History or Language & Literature (Law), Computer Science or Physics (Engineer), Psychology or Economics (Education).
Gen 9: Eco Lifestyle

World: Copperdale
Career: Video Game Streamer or Simfluencer
Aspiration: Drama Llama, Goal-Oriented, Live Fast, Admired Icon
Traits (optional): Over-Achiever, Socially Awkward, Party Animal
Note: This pack is centered around teenagers, so you’ll need to do all this while your Sim is a teen.
Gen 13: Growing Together
World: San Sequoia
Career: Any
Aspiration: There isn’t one for this pack, so I suggest a parenting-related one
Gen 14: Horse Ranch
World: Chestnut Ridge

Aspiration: Expert Nectar Maker or Championship Rider
Traits (optional): Horse Lover, Rancher
Gen 15: For Rent

Aspiration: Seeker of Secrets, Five-Star Property Owner, Fount of Tomarani Knowledge, or Discerning Dweller
Traits (optional): Child of the Village, Cringe, Generous, Nosy
There is another expansion pack coming out soon, and I don’t know if there are any careers or Aspirations coming with it, but once I play it I’ll update this post :)
And this challenge does require you move your Sim from town to town, so it’s probably best to have a house prepared a generation ahead. I have some good ones on my blog :) Feel free to ask me any questions you may have!

Animalia Challenge
Originally by NukaW0lf but she can't come to the phone rn. Why? Because she's dead.
Hello, and welcome to the Animalia Legacy Challenge! The rules are simple:
The rules don’t matter! Have fun! This is all just a loose guideline for you to create your own story. It’s not the end of the world if you change which skill is needed or if you cheat money, ect. I really don’t mind.
You’ll need a cemetery to keep your dead legacy sims.
Some of these are easier with mods installed like the all worlds are residential mod, extreme violence mod and wicked whims. Just keep that in mind. If you don’t want to install those go ahead and either skip that portion or change it so it suits you! You don’t like a generation? Skip it! Just adapt your own story so it makes sense.
That being said, please try to complete the aspiration and skills for each generation as well as the goals I’ve outlined.
If you do my challenge please tag it so I can see! I’d love to see what ya’ll do with it! #AnimaliaLegacy

Your first child is challenging and you make the mistake of treating them more like an equal and less like a child. You want them to strive for greatness so you are a little harder on them than the rest of your children. They are your legacy after all.
