So this is my first time creating a challenge for the Sims 3 but I wanted to make one with a lot of drama and chaos. While in real life drama sucks it is quite fun in the sims 3.
The rules for this challenge are quite simple. There are no rules! Well basically, play it however you want the goals are there just to help guide each generation. The story is also just there for storytelling purposes. If you want to make it into a full challenge I'd try and complete all the goals. Also you can use whatever traits or lifetime wishes unless specified for the generation.
Some of the generations have choices to make these are completely optional but are there if you wish for your sim to go a different way they were going. All in all I just wanted to create a challenge that had a lot of drama and chaos and in a play style that I don't do. Most of these sims are not great sims and while it can be fun to have perfect sim I think the messiness is where it's at.
Lastly if you do post this on social media please tag me or whatever it's called. I'd love to see your sims and the disasters they cause or just use #ts3disasterdiries #DD. Hope anyone who plays this has fun!
You have never been someone who is fond of commitment. The idea of being with one person at a time seems boring to you.. After all you have a short life, so why not live it to the fullest. Unfortunately a lot of other sims don’t see it this way, to them the lack of commitment is shameful and worrisome. However, that does not bug you in the slightest, even if it means one divorce after the other. In your eyes they just weren't the right fit.
The real problem is the effect it has on your kids (not that you're aware of it.) All being related but having different parents and a single parent who shows love in a different way. I mean you're not getting married again. Just going through more partners. How could an unstable life have such a big impact on the children? Along with the many fights you get in with your ex spouses, and one dead, under mysterious circumstances? Really what's going on here?
Goals:
Get married 3 times and divorced 2 times.
Have a child with each spouse.
Have negative relationships with your ex spouses.
Have one of the spouses die! Maybe you killed them, maybe they just died?
Continue being involved in multiple relationships after your last spouse leaves you
Cheat on your spouses. That's why they decide to divorce you!
Have low relationship levels with all of your children.
Get in fights frequently with your spouses while married and after getting divorced.
Growing up you always saw your parent going through one partner after another. As a child you didn't really understand why. Due to this you just wanted a friend to stay by your side forever, or so you thought. As you got older you started to understand your parent more, why they did what they did. Sims are untruthful and you can't trust them, not even your own best friend!
As a teen you had a hard crush on another sim, like you really liked them a lot! You even told your best friend about them, and what did they go and do? They started dating them! This is when you knew the only person you could rely on is yourself. You would have thought you'd learn this earlier on, since you had a bad relationship with your parent.
Afterwards you decided that you'd do to others what they had done to you, use them! Never get close, just get what you want. Who knows though maybe you will have a change of thought eventually?
Goals:
Have a best friend as a child.
Have your best friend get with your crush as a teen. Afterwards get into a fight and have a bad relationship with them.
Start having fake friendships with other sims.
Use other sims for your own wants and needs. Up to interpretation.
Have 3 different enemies
Only get married once and stay married afterward.
Use your spouse for money and get in arguments often
Choice:
Here lies a choice which could change the outcome of the story and the sim.
You decide to become friends with your old best friend again. Obviously with the intent to hurt them like they hurt you. You can stay true to your own word and get with their partner or you can let the grudge go. Realize that it won't make you feel better in the long run and potentially change your ways. Will you betray them or not?
Your parent always told you to never trust anyone. You took that belief very seriously. Which unfortunately caused some serious trauma. You never had friends from having anxiety that they would betray you. Along with the anxiety came lack of social skills, making it very hard to get a job. This led you to become a criminal, it was simple. Follow the bosses rules and you will be fine. It required very little communication skills.
With this job came even more lack of trust in others, but there was one sim who you admired, well maybe it was more than admiration. The only problem was they had a spouse. You still wanted them for yourself though so you decided to give it a shot. Surprisingly they said yes, so you frequently go on dates with them. Out of sight of course.
You finally got the courage to ask them to leave their spouse, they said no they would never leave their spouse and claimed that you were only a toy for them to play with. After hearing this you wanted to leave them but you still “loved them”. Resigning to what you heard you stayed with them. That was until someone new joined the organization. They were kind and took care of you, without realizing it you fell in love with them. You decided to leave the sim you were with and get with the kind sim. Maybe they could even help heal your trauma?
Goals:
Only have one friend your whole life
Join the criminal career
Have the kleptomaniac trait and use it to steal from other sims daily
Get with a coworker who is married and stay with them for a while.
Have a new sim join the criminal career and leave your current partner for this new sim.
Have twins
Get married to your new partner
Have you ever been around someone you just don't like?
That's how it's been your entire life! You were born a twin and with that came a life of being compared all the time. Somehow your twin was always better at everything than you. It didn't matter what it was. So that taste of disgust has existed since you were a child and the dislike for your twin.
That wasn't the only thing. it also seemed that your parents only ever cared for your twin, like they wish you were never born. You decided you would be noticed and be better than your twin! In high school you got better grades than them. You even decided to start your own blog!
When you became a young adult you went straight into being an actor. The best way to be better than your sibling would be to get famous wouldn't it? While in the industry you found that there were creatures. Children of the night, that's right vampires! This lead to an even greater desire. You become a vampire, something that is greater than regular sims. You were at the top of the world until you weren't. While being a vampire sounded great it wasn't what you anticipated and while you were famous you kept getting into scandals. Maybe being better than your sibling wasn't the thing you needed to strive for.
Goals:
As a child always get into fights with your twin
Become enemies with your twin
Prank your twin all the time as a teen
Become a famous actor
Become a vampire
Get into 3 different scandals
Start a blog as a teen
Choice:
Here lies a choice that could change the storyline of your sim.
You have it all: fame, immortality, but something feels like it is missing. You have everything but at the same time it feels like you have nothing at all. Maybe comparing yourself to your twin wasn't the answer after all. They have less than you and they are still happy. So maybe you should try to build up a relationship with them or continue on how you are?
You grew up in a household full of hatred, there was never really love there. At a young age you learned that no matter what, you need to do whatever necessary to get what you wanted.
In school you were taught about politicians and these sims seemed to have it all. They had power, money, a fancy car and much more. You knew that this was the path you wanted to follow.
As a teen you made sure to have the best grades. To become someone of power you needed to have help from high places till you are one of those people. When you became a young adult you joined the political career right away and worked your way up by any means possible. You even slept with your boss! Oh well. You would spout lies about other politicians to make them look bad and cause them lots of scandals.
You decided it would be best to get married after all a “upstanding simizen” would have a devoted partner to help make the world a better palace. However you married purely for convenience and while your partner loved you. You didn't love them, actually you didn't love anyone but yourself.
You continue to have an affair with your boss and get more money and a good image. However if someone ever found out about your dirty deeds they would be fired no questions asked.
Goals:
Be friends with someone high in the criminal career
Join Political Career
Try to grow a money tree ( this is not required but may be a fun challenge)
Get married once and stay married until you die but neglect your partner
Complete Leader of The Free World lifetime wish
Have two children and send them both off to boarding school as children
Sleep with your boss to help get up in your career
Own a expensive car
Sims keep finding out about your dirty deeds. Have at least 3 sims fired and become enemies with them. ( cheat this)
Money money money, that is something that has always been on your brain even as a toddler you loved the shine of expensive things. If your parents taught you anything it's that relationships are not about love they are about money and convenience.
Most of your childhood you were in boarding school, finally as a teen your parents let you stay at home. When you were a teen you were in plenty of romantic relationships. They never lasted long usually cause you would steal anything valuable from them and when that was gone you were done.
Most of your classmates called you a player and while it was true doesn't mean you liked hearing it. Usually you would cry to your parents and they would take care of it. Not for you though, if someone was calling their child a player that could ruin their image and they could not have that! You always found it funny that your parents' image was so important to them because you knew they were sleeping with their boss.
Finally you were an adult which meant more of your own money but not from working a job, you would never stoop so low. It was simple enough to find a rich sim and marry them then steal their things and sell them. It also helps that until you got married your parents gave you a weekly allowance of 500 simoleons a week. It was enough to live on for a short while.
You found a rich sim to marry. They had money and adored you so you would steal some of their things and sell them. It was always important to have extra simoleons than the ones your spouse provided. However your spouse suddenly died from an accident. It was then you realized the best way to get the money you wanted.
Goals:
Get married 4 different times to someone rich
Have each spouse die under “mysterious circumstances”
Have one kid with each spouse
Never have a good relationship with your children and always have a nanny to look after them.
Have Dislikes Children trait
Have gold digger lifetime wish and try to complete it
By the time your children are teens have them hate you
Steal things from your partner's house as a teen and then your spouse as an adult. Sell them for extra money.
this is a revamp of asphodel moon's occult legacy challenge to be more compatiable for the sims 3. credits to asphodel moon for the inspiration and majority of the introductory writing.
After leaving home for the first time, you find yourself living on the outskirts of a desert town. You’re not there for very long before you start to notice strange things flying through the skies and the locals seem to act as if nothing is out of the ordinary especially the odd green ones. You apply for a job at the local lab as these irregularities inspire you to question; what’s out there?

Your parents were always honest when they said you were different from all the other children in class. Throughout your life, you strive to get back to your roots and find your true, authentic self. You're always finding yourself feeling jealous of those who fit in oh so easily and know who their true authentic selves are. This pushes you to become super interested in space and are determined to visit and meet more people like you.
✧ lifetime wish; renaissance sim or the tinkerer. ✧ required traits; bot fan, workaholic, over-emotional . ✧ career; astronaut (military). ✧ spouse; marriage allowed, must be human. ✧ location; lucky palms. ✧ children; must be human. ✧ limit on children; no, but the heir must be human. ✧ max skills; science, bot-building/inventing. ✧ other; build a simbot/plumbot.
After growing up in a super hot, super sandy enviroment, you want nothing more than to live somewhere cooler, more green and closer to nature. You find yourself moving to a place that's somewhat of your expectations even though the congestion of the city slightly irriatates you.
✧ lifetime wish; the perfect garden. ✧ required traits; green-thumb, loves the outdoors, eco-friendly. ✧ career; gardener profession. ✧ spouse; marriage allowed, must be a like-minded sim. ✧ location; twinbrook or riverview. ✧ children; must be human. ✧ limit on children; only one allowed. ✧ max skills; gardening. ✧ other; grow a forbidden fruit, become a plant sim.

Your parents felt a connection over their oddities and similarities to the undead which resulted in you, a fanged bundle of joy. Born a creature of the night you struggled to maintain relationships with non-occults which lead to a dislike to anyone who wasn't like you. You end up finding yourself in a city that never sleeps with a thirst for something other than plasma.

(?); snob and materialistic are bascially the same thing in ts3 so i decided to put supernatural fan so that the sim may be less inclined to talk to non-occults.
After growing up in the big city, surrounded by odd looks and flashing lights; you want nothing more than a bit of peace and quiet. Oh, and some normality. You move to a hidden town in the mountains, away from all the hustle and bustle where you start your own life and maybe a family.

After living in a town with such deep magical roots and pecularities all around, you feel like you blend in a little too much which drove you a little crazy - you dream of a life in the spotlight which provokes your move to a dazzling city that's all about stardom.
✧ lifetime wish; vocal legend or master acrobat. ✧ required traits; social butterfly, insane/unstable, diva. ✧ career; players-choice/based on lifetime wish. ✧ spouse; yes, two marriages; first with a human and last with a genie. ✧ location; starlight shores. ✧ children; any. ✧ limit on children; four, but the heir must be a female genie.** ✧ max skills; guitar, charisma. ✧ other; obtain the genie lamp through anyway other than the rewards store (exploring the catacombs, dimensional gate, etc), free the genie. ** this is so your next generation's mermaid will be born into the household.
