Family Dynamics Challenge 2.0

Henlooo, so the family dynamics challenge is originally by Pastellapixels and standingsimmer and all the credit goes to them! However I just changed it here and there because it's been so long since the challenge was updated and there are a few new additions to the game, career and aspiration wise. if you guys have any suggestions, or if you wanna correct me on some stuff please do let me know!

General Rules

Begin with a single sim

No cheats or mods that serve to enhance gameplay over other simmers (MC Command Center is permitted for baby gender/number control and risky woohoo only)

May use “freerealestate on” when starting the first generation ONLY

Custom saves are allowed, and encouraged, to add an infusion of new gameplay opportunities

Each career and aspiration must be completed unless expressly stated otherwise (if a career branch is not specified, then the choice is completely up to you!)

Have fun! Don’t let the rules of this challenge confine you and inhibit your creativity. Unless the rules explicitly direct you, we encourage you to make the gameplay your own

Generation One: “White picket fence”

From the time that you strike out on your own as a young adult, you dream of cultivating loving familial relationships as rich and unique as the dishes you love to create. You marry younger than some of your friends, raise a bundle of children, and enjoy gardening and entertaining in your spare time. Yet, you still devote a portion of your life to your hidden dream of becoming a master chef.

Traits: Outgoing, Foodie, Family-Oriented

Aspiration: Successful Lineage

Career: Culinary (Master Chef branch)*

Rules:

Complete at least five (5) gold-level dinner parties

Master cooking skill and gourmet cooking skill

Marry as a YA and stay happily married until “death do us part”

Have 3-4 children

Maintain a garden and take up canning as a hobby

Simple living should always be on

Complete at least ¾ levels of aspiration

*Upon completing level 5 of the Culinary career, you may also choose to leave the career and open a restaurant instead. (optional because we know that Dine Out suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks)

Generation Two: “Why ever leave?”

You were raised to believe that “home is where the heart is.” And because of this, you rarely venture into the outside world unless given a really good reason to do so. You choose not to leave your parents’ home to pursue your own path at the same time that a lot of others do. Video games and programming became your passion while holed up in your basement bedroom, and thankfully your career of choice doesn’t require a lot of socialization. Leftover pizza, anyone?

Traits: Lazy, Slob, Geek

Aspiration: Computer Whiz

Career: Tech Guru (eSport Gamer branch)

Rules:

Win a GeekCon competition while cosplaying

Master programming and video gaming skills

Play the guitar as a hobby (no skill requirement)

Order a pizza delivery or something on Zoomers every night of the week

Never move out of childhood home until parents have died

Generation Three: “Top of the World”

Being raised by a parent with an affinity for keeping close to home never quelled your sense of adventure and love for the outdoors when growing up. After a trip to Komorebi with a few friends during your highschool you find that there is more to the world other than your hometown and there’s more people to meet along the way. Being made a single parent at a young age only helped to build the desire within you to remain free of the clutches of a conventional job or relationship. And so, you devote your heart to reaching the peak of Komorebi and sharing to the world your process of getting there.

Traits: Cheerful, Unflirty, Adventurous

Aspiration: Extreme Sports Enthusiast

Career: Self-employed (Vlogger, with Get famous use the drone to create videos and upload them through the video station)

Rules:

Have a two-night stay at a rental in Mt. Komorebi as a teen with friends and explore the town

Become a single parent as a young adult

Master rock climbing and snowboarding skills (snowboarding is optional)

Totally optional but you can compete the simmies collection

Reach the peak of Mt. Komorebi

Get the Adrenaline seeker lifestyle

Generation Four: “Work away the pain”

Let’s be honest: you had a pretty good upbringing. Even though there were some rough patches, you know that your parent did the best they could to raise you alone. But, deep down, being alone is the very thing you fear more than anything. So, you cover it up with work. You work 10x harder than anyone else in your family probably. But deep down you still crave stability and so as a desperate attempt to fill the emptiness that drives you, you marry a close friend only to find later that your spouse hasn’t been faithful. Eventually, you break down and take things lightly with the help of your family. They teach you how to have a healthier outlet for your frustrations. Who knew flower arranging was so relaxing?

Traits: Insider, Romantic, Perfectionist

Aspiration: Academic

Career: Lawyer (Private Attorney branch)

Rules:

Master Research and Debate Skill and Charisma Skill

Earn a degree of Language and Literature from Britechester University (you can stop aging while in University)

Reach level 5 of the flower arranging skill, start when you’re an adult

Marry first GF/BF as a YA

Turn blind eye to spouse’s cheating

Eventually divorce spouse; never remarry

Get the workaholic lifestyle and try to lose it later in life

Generation Five: “Struggling in Los Simgeles”

You come from a broken home. Growing up, you witnessed first-hand the havoc that infidelity can bring on a family. You determine from a young age that you will pour your soul into forging close relationships with your spouse and children. The city draws you, and it is there that you decide to make your home. However, despite your best efforts as an actress later in life, tragedy claims one of your children long before their time. You wear a shroud of sadness from then on, but find that the love of your remaining child(ren) and your ability to immerse yourself into your roles might just pull you through in the end.

Traits: Gloomy, High maintenance, Vegetarian

Aspiration: Super Parent

Career: Actress

Rules:

Master acting skills

Reach level 10 acting career

Live in an apartment from YA

Have twins

Get nominated for your works (I would add winning just as an option here because we know the game is kinda dumb)

Lose one child to death

Visit child’s grave at least once per week; leave their bedroom untouched

Generation Six: “Living with a broken heart”

You lost a sibling at a very young age and witnessed your parents’ grief while still trying to process it yourself. Rather than trying to pick up the pieces, you let the sadness consume you. And at the same time you have this whole 'This bloodline ends with me' thing going on because of what you've went through. At first you have been recruited to become a secret agent, but after finding out how corrupt the system is, you decide to screw it because if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em! Am I right? Theft and criminal activity become appealing to you, and eventually you give yourself over to that lifestyle. Even though you’re more at home in your contemplative solitude, you take comfort with a woohoo buddy who eventually gets you pregnant/or you get pregnant. So now you're wanted criminal caring for a child that you have no idea how to take care of. But there’s a surprising side to you; the raging in your heart is only calmed by the time you spend painting.

Traits: Kleptomaniac, Loner, Genius

Aspiration: Painter Extraordinaire

Career: Secret Agent (Villain)

Rules:

Run away from home as a soon as you become a teen & never speak to parents again

Do not “inherit” any money from parents

Paint as a coping method

Develop mischief and logic skills

Create a club of sims who are kleptomaniac

Pull a heist: Steal at least 10 items over the course of the generation

Have a woohoo buddy that results in pregnancy

Completing your aspiration is not necessary

Generation Seven: “Here to make a difference”

There is only one word to describe your childhood: lonely. You knew from a young age that the parent you lived with took no pleasure in your company, and you’ve always felt that you were the “mistake” that resulted from a careless decision. As a result, you pour effort into building relationships with those who truly care about you, and even attempt to mend relationships with those who don’t. You have a core group of people who mean the world to you, and you spend as much time with them as you can. Becoming a teacher was an obvious choice, as it provides you with the tools you need to reach others. And while you’re a social creature by nature, you never turn down the opportunity to curl up with a good book.

Traits: Good, Geek, Bookworm

Aspiration: Friend of the World

Career: Teacher (Professor branch)

Rules:

Attempt to mend relationships with estranged grandparents and parent

Maintain a club of “besties” from YA onwards

Have a movie night with club once per week

Master the charisma and wellness skills

Marry a club member

Read at least 10 unique books over the course of the generation

Have at least two biological children and adopt at least one child

Volunteer with family at least once a week

Generation Eight: “Archaeology is my passion”

Growing up, you were constantly surrounded by family and close friends who loved you. But you desire more than just the daily interaction with your family. Exploring the jungle is your passion and so is digging up old relics. You eventually create a store where you sell the things you have collected from your journey. Even though starting up your own business means you have to live with your parents longer than most of your friends, you don’t mind because it means you’re close to the people you love. In fact, closeness and similar interests cause you to fall in love with someone who accompanies you during your trips to Selvadorada, and they don’t mind that you can’t yet afford a place of your own. In your “spare time” (hah!), you enjoy photographing places near and far, searching for that perfect shot. Between trying to run a successful shop and your photography hobby, you’re not able to spend as much time with your children as you like. But that’s okay; you’re out there living your dreams.

Traits: Cheerful, Self-Assured, Cat Lover OR Dog Lover (player chooses)

Aspiration: Archaeology Scholar

Career: Self-Employed (runs a store)

Rules:

Live with parents until they die while trying to get retail store off the ground

Have a child as a YA with a Selvadoradian local

Marry the father/mother of their child once parents die

Master archaeology skill, and photography skills

Must take at least one photo in every world

Generation Nine: “Business-minded and musically-inclined”

Your parents worked hard for every penny that they earned, but you were just left feeling like they didn’t care about you as much as the expensive relics in their shop. Your grandparents are your closest friends while they’re still alive. After all, they practically raised you. As a young adult, you desire the family you feel you never had and start a family quickly…only to find out that you’re married to someone you don’t love as much as you should. You have a “responsible” 9-5 interior decorator job, but you also possess real musical talent. Even though you would never consider leaving your job, investing in your music is something you do quite regularly. You eventually remarry after finding real love, and enjoy the rest of your life mediating a mixed family. Will you find true happiness amidst the wealth and your demanding job?

Traits: Creative, Ambitious, Clumsy

Aspiration: Musical Genius

Career: Interior Designer

Rules:

Become good friends with one or both grandparents

Marry and have at least one child; divorce spouse

Later remarry and have at least one child (think “Yours, Mine & Ours”)

Master violin and piano skills

Achieve level 5 of either the singing or guitar skill

Hire and keep a butler

Eat out at a restaurant at least once per week

Generation Ten: “To the stars”

Objectively speaking, your life is great. You never really wanted for anything as a child. The overactive imagination that you possess lends itself perfectly to your love of space. You create a group with people who love the same things as you. The stars fascinates you, but more than anything you desire to find true love. So you find one in your club. You and your significant other would do anything just to discover the worlds unknown to simkind. It was your dream together. But when your significant other suddenly dies while tweaking with the rocket ship when you were young adults, you were devastated. You couldn't finish the rocket ship that you and your loved one had started. As you mourn, drinking becomes your method to quiet a broken heart and provide a false sense of peace. But at a time when your hope begins to lag, your decision to adopt a child despite your own childlessness is the final push you need to persevere. You eventually create the rocket ship and go to Sixam, bringing the love of your life's urn and placing it there as their final resting place. You go back to earth, and live the rest of your life in peace as you have succeeded in creating your own bittersweet ending following a long line of sims with odd stories: some happy, and some not.

Traits: Hot-Headed, Genius, Erratic

Aspiration: Nerd Brain

Career: Astronaut

Rules:

Master rocket science, handiness and logic skill

Find true love at a young age, significant other dies through electrocution

Successfully travel to Sixam and place the urn your beloved there

Adopt a child or children

Retire from the astronaut career and spend the rest of your living days writing 10 stories about you and your ancestors

The Sour Legacy Challenge

Did I make a legacy challenge based on Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour? Yes, I did.

Am I going to be posting my gameplay of it on my blog? Yes I am.

The overall guidelines are pretty loose here. Obviously there’s a lot to accomplish each generation, but I tried to make it so there is plenty of room for freedom too. And if you’re not feeling an aspiration or have a career you’ve been meaning to try - go ahead and switch it up if you think it makes sense! Just try to pick something that isn’t already in the challenge.

Go as wild as you desire with mods and lifespans and the like. Feel free to make this your own (just don’t repost this as your own, yah feel?).

If you decide to play it yourself, tag me & hashtag #sourlegacychallenge, so I can see other people enjoy it too.

And if you have any questions, feedback or wcif’s, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Also hi 👋 I’m new here. Nice to meetcha.

xoxo, dizzywhims

✧･ﾟ: * Whimsy Stories Legacy Challenge *:･ﾟ✧

Do you ever feel like stories don’t come to you naturally?

That you find yourself repeating the same old thing over and over?

That you want to be the type of simmer who becomes invested in their sims lives in a borderline unhealthy way? This is the challenge for you!

Find yourself falling in love with complex and beautiful sims in the Whimsy Stories Legacy Challenge! Stories that you, with the help of your pixel people of course, bring to life!

PSA: You can, of course, add any extra story elements/drama/ideas/etc that you think of to your gameplay! This is meant to expand your gameplay, not place you in a box.

Money cheats are ALLOWED (to a degree) unless otherwise stated. Money cheats may be used for things like free real estate and storyline purposes when necessary.

GEN ONE:

Without a Home but not Without Love

Our story begins as most stories do.. with endurance.

You are homeless.

You’ve gone out into the world with nothing but a tent and a dream. As a child you never had your own home. You were bounced from place to place, always dreaming of a suburban home to call your own. With a family of your own.

As you have since you were a young child, you long for a life of normalcy. You are tired of everything around you being turbulent and broken. So you search for joy in the mundane.

Life is lonely at first, but fortunately you find love with another homeless sim. You have nothing but it feels like absolutely everything with your partner by your side.

You are a care-free, nature loving, and naïve dreamer. Some may call you a hippy, but you just call yourself happy.

From the ground up you create.

Create candles, fabricate your own furniture, and search dumpsters to make it by. Eventually, you have a home of your own, built by your own two hands.

A tiny home.

Not only is this a tiny home, but it is a suburban tiny home! Your dream is finally realized!

You will stay in this comfy small shoe-box size home for the rest of your life. Growing in your garden, raising your children, and selling the things you make for an income at the local markets.

GOALS:

- Find love while homeless

- Name all children after nature

- Must live in a suburban styled tiny home (that you build cheat-free) for their entire life. (Micro home for young adulthood - afterwards you may upgrade)

- Foster a healthy Garden

- Plant Parent (I mean.. This house is FULL of plants. Which surprisingly fit in 32 tiles)

- Have at least 3 tattoos

- Master the Fabrication/Handiness/Wellness skills.

- Have Loves Outdoors/Freegan Traits

- Complete Maker Aspiration

- Be self-employed with the Freelance SIMply Crafted Career

- Rarely wear makeup/Love to dress casually

GEN TWO:

Happiness is not only found in a partner.

You grew up extremely loved and cared for by your parents. They were the perfect couple. After watching what seemed to be the perfect love story unfold since you were a child, you feel as though it can’t be possible for you to have the same thing.

It even begins to feel daunting.

So you choose to stay away from love. You might go on a date here and there but ultimately your fear and anxiety about having a partner keeps you single for nearly your entire life.

Though you never wanted a partner, you love children. You have always wanted to be a parent. The idea of giving a small sim a home and love for the rest of their lives makes your heart swell. You want to be that for someone.

And whoever said you need a partner to have kids?

You say to heck with societal norms and adopt four children throughout your life. You parent them alone. Even though it’s just you, they have all of the love they could ever ask for. They are happy. Your family is picture perfect.

You are a SUPER parent and feel that your life is completely full of love even though you never had a romantic interest.

Until you hit elderhood. Caught by surprise, you meet someone who you instantly connect with. You both have lived your own lives and find yourself completely and fully in love, completely and fully unexpectedly.

You live out the rest of your days with your new-found soulmate and knit adorable creations for your grand-kids.

GOALS:

- Adopt 4 children

- Must not be in a relationship until elderhood

- Marry as an elder

- Complete Super Parent aspiration

- Have Unflirty & Family Oriented Traits

- Complete Parenting/Research & Debate Skills

- Must go ALL OUT for every season and holiday. Like, your house is DECORATED. Your tree is perfect. Your home should be in a magazine. Yeah, that kind of dedication.

- Must complete the Education career.

- Always have at least one animal in the household

- Have a gallery wall full of family photos

GEN THREE:

Sometimes life brings you a little bundle of joy in the shape of an accident

As soon as you age out of teenhood, (which was a wild time of partying and homework being turned in late) you become a mixologist at the local bar.

You are a clumsy sim who fears the sound of commitment but love to have a good time. You enjoy dating new and exciting sims but never commit to anything too serious.

You love your job and you love that you don’t have to show up for anyone.

If you don’t have to show up for anyone, then you can’t disappoint them.

One morning, after a rough night of partying and a whole lot of bubble blowing and juice, you find yourself waking up just not feeling right. You’re tired, you’re feeling ill, and food sounds absolutely revolting.

You take the test and sure enough you’re pregnant!

After the initial wave of fear, you touch your belly and feel warmth at the idea of no longer being alone. While children were never the first thing on your mind, you also can’t say you never considered having a few later in life. Turns out later is right now.

(If your sim is unable to become pregnant a baby will be “dropped off” at your door in three sim days. You don’t know who the parent is. *can use adoption for this*)

BUT. Who is the parent? You realize then that there are three different possibilities and you won’t know until the baby is here.

Will you confront them when you find out, jump in with them and co-parent, or will you go it alone? It’s up to you!

GOALS:

- Complete Serial Romantic aspiration

- Complete Mixologist career

- Have Clumsy/Noncommittal/Outgoing Traits

- Begin life alone in a dingy San Myshuno apartment

- Always have a bright/fun hair color

- Must complete the “try for baby” interaction with three different sims all in the same night.

If you have downloaded MC Command Center, change the chance of conception for Try for Baby to 50%

If your sim is unable to become pregnant, adopt a baby three days later as if they have been dropped off from an unknown partner.

- Name child after an alcoholic beverage (I'm sorry)

- Complete Dancing/Mixology/Juice Fizzing Skills

- Have a hobby making Juice

- Child Support may be added at 500 simoleons once per week with “UI Cheats” OR “testingcheats on” if you choose to parent alone.

(You MAY have more children/Marry after the first unplanned child)

GEN FOUR:

Bringing beauty out of the broken.

Ever since you can remember, you have loved houses and architecture.

Late nights being driven to your babysitter’s while your parent worked late nights at the bar, you stared out the window watching overgrown homes fade away. You heart ached for what once was.

Not only did you love houses, but you loved the broken-down wayward houses at the end of the street. The ones that no one cared for anymore. The ones you felt must have been loved once a very long time ago.

You could see the potential and the history in every plank of wood and every brick that kept those homes standing.

As a teen, and into young adult-hood, you find yourself having a terrible habit of befriending and dating “fixer upper” sims. Growing up with your chaotic parent and household, it was hard not to feel that way.

You had to learn the hard way that you can’t fix sims, so you’d have to stick to houses.

You set off into the world with a goal to turn what was seen as unfixable into beauty. You flip every house on your street, every old and worn down house is made new. You slowly but surely build up the neighborhood into something brand new.

You work as a freelance artist on the side to sustain yourself and your family. Pinterest is quite literally your best friend.

You also run a very successful simstagram page where you are sure to post new photos of your projects and of your daily life!

Through all of this you find the Chip to your Joanna and marry a sim with a passion for woodworking and handiness! Together you flip the disasters that once were into beautiful dreams for other sims.

You soon find out that you were right, these homes could be loved again.

GOALS:

- Must begin life in Courtyard Lane, Willow Creek. You will flip every house in the neighborhood by the end of your sim’s life through manage worlds (You do NOT have to live in the lot to flip it)

You may instead place your own run-down builds in those lots and renovate those.

If you want an extra challenge - wheel spin for a budget! You can add the leftover funds to your sims household using “testingcheats on” or “UI Cheats”

- Marry a sim in the Manual Labor career with passion for woodworking

- Have Self-assured/Ambitious traits

- Complete Freelancer career (Art)

- Every child’s name shares the same first letter (ex. ingrid, isabel, ivy)

- Complete the Handiness/Painting/Photography skills

- Post to social media once every day

- Live in the final home that you flip

- Be dressed to impress all the time. Growing up in hand-me downs, you felt self conscious. Now you are able to dress as fantastically as your heart desires!

GEN FIVE:

Love always finds a way.

As a child you always had a crush on the neighbor kid next door.

You were each other’s first friend & first crush.

As you grew into teenhood, you eventually tested the waters and started to date! It just made sense. You together just made sense. From first friends to first loves, this was a forever thing from the start. It was rare, but it was happening for the two of you.

That is, until your partner’s family decided to pack up and move to the city.

You tearfully part ways and decide that moving on from each other would be best, as San Myshuno is quite a far reach from your small corner of Willow Creek.

You were always extremely academic and were preparing for Uni from the moment you entered High School.

You work hard on your studies. Homework comes before everything else, and if not that, you can be found in a book. You sometimes feel the ache of missing your first love, but you focus on school to dull the pain.

There are dates here and there with new sims, but nothing ever compared to your past love.

You apply for Uni with straight A’s and a dream to become a supreme court Judge. You know you can make a positive change in the world.

You’re accepted! And on your first day on campus, to your great surprise, you see the person you’ve thought of every day for the past three years.

Your childhood love.

You instantly reconnect and quickly your love story unfolds all over again. This time though, there is nothing to separate you. After graduation, you have a beautiful wedding and stay together until you’re old and wrinkly.

GOALS:

- Complete Logic/Research & Debate/Charisma Skills

- Complete Soulmate Aspiration

- Have the Bookworm & Romantic Traits

- Have A’s in school

- Have twins.. Twice

- Attend Uni and complete the History Degree

- Complete the Law career (Judge branch)

- Have the most wholesome wedding that any sim has ever seen

- Must be best friends with another sim through childhood, date that sim as a teen, and then be separated.

- Must reunite with said childhood love in University and remain together for the rest of your days!

GEN SIX:

I make up my own story as I go. Most often it changes and rides with the flow.

Ever since you can remember, you haven’t been sure of anything.

You aren’t sure if you have a favorite color, a favorite type of music, or even a favorite food!

You seem to change your mind about the same subject ten times a day. It’s exhausting for everyone around you, but this is just your normal.

Your clothing is mismatched. A different style every day and for every outfit. Your home is a tornado of contemporary, traditional, eclectic, and modern.

You live in clutter. It’s.. a lot. But you wouldn’t have it any other way. Somehow, the mess is comforting to you.

You constantly have a new skill you’re interested in, always picking up a new “thing”

And your mismatched mind even goes as far as your relationships (which you bounce in and out of like it’s nobody’s business)

By the time you’re an elder you’ve been married three times and finally settle with someone who is the exact opposite of you. A perfectionist who deals with all of your mess because they truly do love you. They don’t want to change you, and that makes your heart sing. Because for all of your life before them, that has been everyone else’s goal.

You go with the flow, you change your hair, you start woodworking at 12am. Your soul is a chaotic but beautiful mess and that’s just the way you like it.

GOALS:

- Complete the Renaissance Sim aspiration

- Have a different style and/or mismatched colors for every outfit

- Randomize one outfit completely (that little dice button will be your best friend)

- Change hair color every time you age up

- Be married three times (and divorced twice)

- Have and then lose five friends

- Complete level 3 of 3 different jobs

- Change your name at least once

- Find a perfectionist sim to marry in adulthood

- Have Goofball/Slob Traits

GEN SEVEN:

Nature holds us close when others do not

Ah, to live a life of peace and quiet. The only sounds being the water rushing behind your cottage (one with a perfect aesthetic)

No need to dream of it, because this IS your life!

You grow up feeling very passionate about the environment and the world around you. Your parent was a MESS. You had a fun childhood, but their constant hobby jumping was terrible for the environment.

As soon as you become a young adult, you swear off all electricity and plumbing. You want to undo the damage that Sim-kind does to the world in any way possible.

You spend your days repairing windmills and solar panels, showering in rain water, painting to make a living, and attending protests in the city when possible. Even though you hate leaving your isolated home.

You live for being alone, but mostly because you find it hard to talk to people. Creating real connections can be difficult but one day you hope to have another someone in your life who is also content to live in the quiet.

You can often be found hiking, biking, swimming, scuba diving, and even at the base of Mt. Komorebi in your spare time! Nature is your closest friend.

When you aren’t hiking, you’re playing with your pet raccoon. You found him digging in the trash one night and just couldn’t leave him. I mean, look at his beady little eyes!

Until one day on a hike when you find another loner.

Another lover of the quiet and peaceful life.

And you feel a warmth in your chest that you haven’t for years.

Love.

Together, you raise one single child (you still aren’t TOO fond of people, let’s be real) and live the rest of your days in your warm little corner of the world.

GOALS:

- Have Gloomy/Loner Traits

- Complete Curator Aspiration

- Live in a small beach home OR woodland cottage

- Live Off the Grid for entire life

- Join a protest whenever possible (or donate to the cause)

- Have a raccoon for a pet

- Complete Painting/Fitness Skills

- Complete Painting Career

- Have only three close friends

- Have only one child

- Must be a Scout as a Child

GEN EIGHT:

Being known by one person who truly sees you is worth more than 1000 eyes watching

It’s always been about you and only you from the moment you opened your star studded eyes. You were an only child who grew up in a small off the grid cottage, but you longed for something more.

As a teen your walls were covered in boy band posters. You were constantly singing and as soon as you were a teen, your heart was set on acting.

You longed to be known, to be wanted, to be seen. By every sim alive.

You’re also a liiiittle full of yourself. But aren’t we all sometimes?

And regardless, beneath all of the self-absorbed layers you have a huge heart. You volunteer once a week, donate to charities whenever possible, and you have a deep love for animals.

You start over from the beginning, building your career off of your own back as a single parent. But you are strong and you persevere.

Throughout all of this, you do find fame. But you also find real and true love with a sim not at all interested in the lime light who also has a child.

GEN NINE:

Sometimes the truth remains only in your heart.

You are the definition of a rainbow.

You are a bright shiny smile on a cloudy day and you LOVE color!

As a creative, you spend your spare time writing and daydreaming about new stories.

But you have a secret interest hidden inside of you.

You are absolutely obsessed with the paranormal. Your main goal in life is to prove the existence of every occult that has been whispered about for years, the stories only found in long forgotten pages of dusty books.

As a child growing up in opera houses, theatres, and movie sets with your parent, your interest was sparked by stories of long forgotten ghosts hiding in the shadows of the old buildings.

You want to prove to the world that these things are real because in your sunshiny heart, you feel that magic must exist.

And so you pack up and move to the town that nearly every sim strays from on long trips.

You move to Forgotten Hollow. But you will not succumb to the neighbors tastes in style. You build the most flamboyant home that there ever was.

You are an extremely paranoid sim, but does that mean that you’re wrong? You don’t think so.

You spend your entire life searching for any occult.

The most amazing part? You find every. Single. One.

You write a book of your encounter for each occult and befriend all of them.

You even end up marrying a rather handsome spellcaster!

Even though you have a peace inside of you now that you were always right, that your life was not for waste, the Sim world is not quite ready to believe your stories. They love your books! But assume they were fiction.

You’re okay with that. Because in your heart, you know the truth. And you now have a little piece of magic, too.

GOALS:

- Complete Bestselling Author Aspiration

- Complete Writing/Vampire Lore Skills

- Write a book on each of the following occults:

Vampires | Spellcasters | Mermaids | Ghosts | Aliens

(Must visually see proof of occult OR become good friends with one before writing each book)

- Live in Forgotten Hollow

- Always dress in vibrant colors

- Have a brilliantly bright home

- Marry a spellcaster

- Use voodoo dolls in spare time

- Complete Writing Career

- Have Paranoid/Creative Traits

GEN TEN:

I know that I’m strange. But magical was nothing I’d ever dreamt of.

From the moment you were born there was a certain magic about you. Everyone could feel it.

You felt different too.

But what did different mean? You know that your parents spent their entire life searching for answers to the paranormal. You know that they believe in it with their whole heart. But you’re still skeptical. Until one day when you follow the pages of their book, desperate for answers about yourself.

To your great surprise you happen upon a strange archway. A magical portal to another world. Carefully you step in, disbelief buried deep inside of you but hope overpowering it. Hope for answers.

You discover that your true self is a spellcaster. Not only that, but one of your parents is a spellcaster too. Your world is flipped upside down in an instant.

You begin to try and learn what this means. You study wizardry, you find a wand, a familiar, and a broom. You try your hardest to go back to your average life in the business tract but you can’t focus.

Magic is your entire life now.

But the world isn’t ready for magic. Sims are afraid of the unknown, and so you hide your secret life within the walls of your home.

You fall in love with a mortal and eventually find the courage to confide in them that you are a wizard. They didn’t even blink at this information. They too knew that there was something different about you. But oh so wonderful, too.

Eventually, they make the decision to become a wizard as well.

Together you live a beautiful life full of magic. Not just the kind with spells and potions, but that most special kind of magic. Love. Memories made between the two of you.

And as sappy as it is, you truly live happily ever after.

GOALS:

- Grow up not knowing your parent is a spellcaster. (ignore your sim being weird and magic-y, okay? we need imagination here)

- Always have Five close friends (people love to be near your energy)

- Complete Spell craft and Sorcery Aspiration & Purveyor of Potions Aspiration

- Complete all Spellcaster Perks

- Join the business career and quit after reaching level 5

- Turn a family pet into a Familiar

- Travel to the Magic Realm for the first time as a Young Adult, searching for answers

- Have Cheerful Trait

- Must be a whimsical dresser (You decide what whimsy is to you, that’s what makes it whimsical!)

- Fall in love with a mortal who eventually becomes a spellcaster

- Live in a Whimsical/Magical/Cooky Spellcaster Home (think hobbit holes, the burrow, what have you)

Huge credits and love to my wonderful friends Kara, Aubie, Percabeth, Gillian, and Mara who helped me refine and perfect this challenge. Thank you for adding magic and inspiration to my little passion project.

You never had luck with relationships…

You move to a new town. You were ready to give up your dream and live a single life alone in a quiet town, with normal friends and a normal job… Until..

You stumble across someone who catches your eye. They’re perfect. You two end up falling in love. This changed your whole outlook on life. You no longer wanted to spend your life alone, you now wanted this person to live it with you. There’s only one thing..

You’d always try and escape to your room right after school to do your homework, play dress up, and decorate houses in ‘simsforever’.

Even though your childhood home was full of chaos, you loved every moment. Out of everyone in your household, you were the one with the best style! You always knew how to match different patterns, fabrics, and colors together..

It felt like it came naturally to you.

When you reached young adulthood you took style to a whole new level!

YOU BECAME A STYLE INFLUENCER.

There’s always new ideas clicking in your head, so you decided that THIS WAS YOUR PASSION! Not some boring school work, where the professors force assignments and tests on you! This way you didn’t need school to make money, you didn’t have to worry about your parents having to pay for your college because you found your calling!

They never believed you’d actually do it..

But you did.

After one big argument with your sibling, you run away! Into the forest, there’s nothing but fresh air and trees surrounding you. You finally had peace and quiet, well… besides those darn crickets! It’s official..

YOU’RE A RUNAWAY TEEN, but this doesn’t scare you..

True Love.. Isn’t Always in the Form of Romance..

Growing up you admired your parents. They had something that you longed for, they had true love. Something that you thought you couldn’t find.

It’s not because you’re so boring no one wants to date you.. It’s the exact opposite, you’re a charismatic, video game loving, hopeless romantic.

You could never find someone to make you smile as big as your parents made one another. Maybe you’re being too harsh on them..

Or maybe romance just isn’t in the cards for you. You often spend your time on dating apps looking for the right one to settle down with..

One day while scrolling on Simder, you find someone that strikes your attention. You end up going on a date with them to a bar.. One thing leads to another and you two are now back at your place..

The next morning you wake up and something’s not feeling right.. You feel lightheaded.. You take a few tests…

YOU’RE PREGNANT!

What’re you going to do? Are you going to form a deeper connection with the parent of your child? Become a single parent? Co-Parent?

Will you even tell them that you’re pregnant!? The choice is yours.

Yeah yeah everything looked perfect.. but it wasn’t.

Your house was always messy; with your parent’s tracking paint through the house, your siblings throwing footballs, plus your pets leaving footprints all over your carpet! It was all so hectic..

Especially since you were the one that cleaned it all up. You didn’t mind though, you enjoy cleaning. You also enjoy cooking and baking.

It makes you the happiest.

Dating hasn’t been the easiest for you. Let’s be honest it hasn’t been the easiest for your whole family. Most of the people you dated in the past hate how neat you are, they loved calling you a neat-freak.

This was until you came across a sim who is your exact opposite.

They think that you’re still a baby. You’re not a kid anymore. You get to make your own decisions and nobody gets to tell you anything!

Little did your parents know you’ve been saving money from your secret babysitting job. One day, you just up and left, you ran away to a beautiful city by the name of Del Sol Valley!

Where all dreams come true!

You were finally free! You love your parents, but being inside that home at all times was torture. You felt so angry looking outside your bedroom window seeing other kids play, other parties go on down the street, and just overall fun!

Even though you couldn’t touch it..

You wanted it! You wanted to be out there, you wanted to be seen!

Sometimes your parent would take you out on meet and greets with them and all the kids would hang out with you and tell you how much they loved you and your parents. You loved the attention, but the attention wasn’t for you and it wasn’t love..

It was just greedy fan-girls obsessing over your family but not for the right reasons. You just wanted love.. which is weird because you are the worst at flirting.. sometimes it even makes you frustrated.

When you were a child your parents took you to Sulani, a beautiful place with lots and lots of water. You loved swimming! When your parents use to take you, all you remember is looking out of your window and seeing these beautiful tails pop out of the water..

You believe they were mermaids but everyone else tells you that your delusional. So..

When you hit young adulthood you take a plane with a little bit of your parents fortune and head to Sulani, you want to prove to your family and everyone else who doubted you that these majestic creatures exist!

Anyways, they make fun of you because you believe in happy endings and a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

They don’t think it’s realistic, but you know it can happen for you. You spend most of your time in the lab, running tests, and hypothesizing.

You’ve always been the odd one out in your family, you’re parents say your gifted but your siblings just say your lame. Who cares what they say anyway.. Your family has a history of getting caught up in their job, that’s sometimes a good thing..

but most times it’s a bad thing!

That’s not you though, you know how to handle both family and work. You’re actually really good at it! Scientist during the day, surrounded by family during the night! Until…

You suddenly realize that your spouse has been a little distant for the last few months… but why?

Well, you found out why.. Are you happy you found out? Yes and no..

You’re happy you found out that your spouse was cheating on you because, you’re still surrounded by family and you have let go of that dead weight!

You eventually find love, settle down and raise a family….. That was until..

Your spouse died too.

You were left taking care of your children on your own and making it work. Your children could tell you were struggling, but you still put on your best face.

I mean, you are a comedian after all. You started telling jokes once your sibling passed away. It helped you cope with the pain. Now that your spouse is dead.

What career path do you want to be on? How many kids do you want? Will you get married. You don’t even know what you enjoy doing most.

You like pretty much everything and it’s hard to make a decision.

So why not do it all?

You develop skills and knowledge for pretty much everything. You love all sorts of activities. One thing you’re still trying to navigate is your love life.

You have a soft spot for children and want to have some of your own someday. You just cannot find someone to give you your dream.

So you take matters into your own hands.

You look into an adoption agency. You end up adopting three children.

Not all at once of course..
