As the heir to a family built on the love for winter and it’s traditions, you’ve always known your role: to continue your ancestors’ mission of preserving the eternal frost. But as the years go on, you’ve begun to question your destiny. You long for warmth, sun, and freedom from the cold. The decision weighs heavily on your heart:

generation one: new in town.

generation two: hopeless romantic.
you always loved love. from watching the prince and princess fall in love at first sight in movies, to crying about random older couples on the street. the only bad part about love is that it doesn't seem to find you… until the one person you hate proposes the idea of being in a “fake relationship,” and you would do anything to be loved… even if it happened to be fake.

generation six: blending in.
you always admired big friend groups and being surrounded by people. you wanted it, you needed it. but because of one simple flaw, you were kept at a distance. being an alien wasn't fun or quirky for you, it was isolating. you studied how to be human as much as you could... picking up several skills, doing weird jobs. finally, when you prepared yourself enough you took a big leap straight into business in hopes to blend into society as perfectly as you can.

I’m gonna do this so new legacy coming soon!!
For TS4 created by @accomplisheddoubt (me)
The official tag for this challenge is… #And so it begins LC
And so, it begins… is a legacy style challenge that will take your family from Base Game to High School Years over several generations. That said, high school years can and will be utilized prior to the final generation just as base game can and will be used after generation one. A few generations will have a sole pack it focuses on, while others may combine two or more packs. This legacy is meant to inspire, provide structure, and most importantly, be fun. If you don’t own a specific pack, or a specific generation doesn’t interest you, change it, make the challenge work for you.
This challenge is designed to utilize every stuff, game, and expansion pack for The Sims 4 with a few exceptions.
Each generation will have specific goals and a base storyline to follow, but the rest is up to you. I suggest having ‘wants’ on and going with the flow of the game.
Aging can be set to normal, long, customized, or even short if you’d prefer the extra challenge.
If a generation doesn’t list all 3 traits (or you use the more traits in CAS mod) you may select traits you’d prefer or randomize them.
No money cheats! Money is easy enough to acquire.
Mods are allowed and encouraged to enhance gameplay.
Unless specifically stated in a generation, the amount of children each heir has is up to you. Though you could make things more interesting by rolling 1-6 to determine the amount. Same goes for who is the selected heir.
Each generation will start with money obtained by their parents, the exact amount is up to you and how much savings the previous generation has accumulated.
Though Cats and Dogs is not fully explored until generation 5, pets are allowed prior.
If you enjoy having an assigned color per generation, you can roll 1-17 for a randomized color or simply assign a color of your choosing per generation. Please note 17 colors are listed in anticipation of add-on generations.
Apricot, Black, Blue, Brown, Green, Grey, Hot Pink, Lavender, Lime, Mint, Navy, Orange, Pink, Purple, Red, White, Yellow
Remember, while this legacy is meant to help explore the game and provide a set of goals to do so, it is also meant to be fun. If something doesn’t fit your style of gameplay, or your particular interests, change it.
Base Game + Outdoor Retreat
You were recruited into the S.I.M.S. just out of high school, odd-right? You’ve been relocated to the quaint town of Willow Creek with instructions to blend in and keep your career a secret. You were planning on taking a year off before finding a career so you could travel. Oh well, you’ll just find time to balance work and travel now. How hard could that be?

Cats and Dogs + My First Pet
As a child you always wanted a pet (cat or dog depending on trait), but your parent claimed it would be too much of a commitment. You resented them for always putting their career and romantic endeavors above you. A pet would never do that. So as soon as you’re of age, you move away from the city and settle down in Brindleton Bay where you open your own vet clinic. And adopt a bunch of pets. You even open your house to strays. Animals are all you need, until you finally find a person who shares your passion and respect for animals that is.

You grew paranoid that no one actually cares for you as an individual but for your family’s celebrity status so you decided to move to an odd little desert town where no one knew who you were.

Welcome to the Just Desserts legacy!!! Meet vera Seymour!
I finally got around to updating my old lifespans in The Sims 4!
With the release of infants, it was time for a refresh! Also, after playing the game for a while, I noticed that the older lifespans were a litttttle toooo lonnngg - so these provide a great balance for your sims to enjoy life and parenthood!
As always, I use MC Command Center to update these settings - I am willing to help anyone who doesn’t know how to find these settings using MCCC. 🤎

The Sims 4 - Avatar Legacy Challenge
Water. Earth. Fire. Air.
Did you either smile in nostalgia or roll your eyes at the cliche of using the show’s intro? Are you looking for a legacy challenge that helps you explore different aspects of gameplay, all the while making fun callbacks to The Last Airbender series? Well, hotman, you’re in the right place!
This Avatar Legacy Challenge is a 4-13 generational challenge with themes surrounding characters, events, and locations from the Avatarverse, with enough wiggle room to make it fit your unique gameplay style.
Basic Rules
The purpose of this challenge is to complete the Avatar cycle by playing with 4 generations of the same family, but you may play up to 12 generations + 1 bonus gen with the current outline!
Each heir should represent their element or location by color scheme/style. You can base this on the show or your personal likes/dislikes.
You can live in any Sims world unless otherwise specified in the rules of a generation.
You can have as many children as you’d like unless otherwise specified in the rules of a generation.
Every generation is required to complete both the career and aspiration of the heir unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Every generation is required to max out at least 4 skills to represent the 4 elements in the cycle.
If you decide to play this challenge, I’d love to see! Use the tag #avatarlegacy in your posts to share!
This challenge was partially inspired by the super fun Not So Berry Challenge! I wanted to play a similar challenge after seeing others play, but I knew my ADHD would leave me bored after 2 days of unintentionally recreating a popular streamer’s gameplay of the challenge. I wanted my own adventure and way to explore the game. Hopefully you can enjoy it, too!
I spent a lot of time developing this challenge and will actually be sharing episodic gameplay once a week on my YouTube channel starting 4/30/22!!

(Also, I’m looking for some extra Sims to add to this gameplay, so if you want to help out and get a shout out in a video(I’m a small channel but want to engage more with others!!), please use the tag “#KimbaSpriteSims” in the Sims gallery. 🖤)
