finally... its been just over a year since v.1 and just about 2 years since i started crafting this what is the love letter save? the love letter save is... a love letter to my childhood which mainly revolved around the sims *shocker* and various shows/movies etc. this save file embraces the idea that the sims 4 takes place on an alternate timeline... combining and altering the storylines from previous sims installments. i brought a TON of families from all previous sims games with some of their original lore and some twists of my own.
in the save bella goth is still missing... or she was... the beakers have a test subject, except it's claire ursine's love child with jared frio in this timeline. the caliente sisters are still up to no good! and the monty's still hate the capp family! and sooooo much more... i want to give a special thanks to LifeSimmer, who permitted me to use the Fenderson family in this save. i have been playing the sims since i was 9 years old and all these years later that family is just as special to my inner sims child as the goth family.
i made separate posts for pictures of the towns which you can find HERE same for the townies through the series of ten posts pt. 1 | pt.2 | pt.3 | pt.4 | pt.5| pt.6 | pt.7| pt.8| pt.9| pt.10
i highly recommend going into your MCCC settings and TURNING OFF sim culling. what this will do is prevent the game from deleting unplayed sims as you play. which i didn't until after v.1 and was confused why i had to start from scratch around 9 months ago.
what packs are required?
all of them! (sorry)
no cc!
when you load in!!!
all households will be marked as played... simply because i wasn't taking my chances with sim culling
autonomy and aging are off, it is up to you if you would like to turn this back on
finally i am sure that i missed some things or relationships or maybe even forgot a mailbox somewhere... that is bound to happen with every save file. let me know if you would like i plan on only adding as the sims 4 goes on and would to get to near perfection
and with that that... i am sending all love... please enjoy V.2
new sim

Some backstory, Hari's parents Moved from San Myshuno to live the country life wayyy before hair was born. They're divorced but the money keeps them together. Hari's father gets along with Faye well at least!
Sadly not everyone had a happy day... rip Tae Tae and kookie. Hari loved the goats but they grew closer to Faye since they helped her with the garden.

Welcome home, Baby Daphne!! New Home, Family time, and a new family member. Needless to say, the Boba family is doing very well. Hari has been entering her horse Milkshake in competitions and Faye is still working on her nectar making which has also helped the household a ton! Noe they're working on paying off the loan and raising the little one until the next 3 mini boba's come to play, my luck isn't the best as you probably noticed... But I'm very proud of them both!
First - Previous - Challenge
It's been a very long time since I last did a challenge, and in the days leading up to my new computer I decided to come up with some ideas for a future legacy challenge to more or less christen this bad boy. This is a 10 generation legacy with a fairly heavy focus on different family dynamics within certain generations.
Tag: 'gemstone legacy challenge' or @ me!
Rules:
✔ There are none! Have fun and follow the generational rules as you see fit!
Generation 1: Rose Quartz
‘You were raised as an only child by a single parent. It was a happy yet lonely life but you always wanted more: you wanted a large, hectic home, a loving spouse, and kids of your own. A surprise inheritance finally gives you that opportunity, and you move from the big city to a small country home, with all the room to grow that you could want!’
Recommended colour: light pink Recommended traits: nurturing, good, family-oriented, natural cook
Move to a small house on a large lot (50x50 or 60x60 is recommended!). This will be your primary legacy home throughout this challenge.
Begin working in the culinary career
Meet the one not long after moving to town. You quickly start dating and soon find yourself expecting your first child.
Get married after you have two children
After you have your third child, you decide to become a stay-at-home parent - you can continue to add to the household funds through various hobbies if you wish!
Have a total of five kids and one must be adopted!
Generation 2: Lapis Lazuli
‘You grew up in a loud, hectic family home. Whilst you didn't hate it, you always preferred the quiet, keeping your head down to focus on schoolwork and eventually your career. As a young adult, you throw yourself into the law enforcement career, but eventually realise that is not your true passion and decide to follow your dreams as your parent did many years ago.’
Recommended colour: dark blue and/or light blue Recommended traits: workaholic, genius, supernatural sceptic, loner
Finish high school with an ‘A’
Be a part of an after-school club in high school
Optional: Graduate as valedictorian
Join the law enforcement career after graduation
Meet your future partner (can be a work colleague)
Optional: Get married
Have at least two children
After reaching level 5 of your career or becoming an adult, you decide to change your life and quit to become a ghost hunter
Separate or divorce from your partner but remain on good terms
Generation 3: Ruby
‘You came from a rather unusual family. Your grandparents married young and remained devoted all their lives; your parents divorced as adults, dividing your family. Like your grandparents, you want to find your soulmate, but unfortunately despite having a kind and loving heart, it does not come easy to you. After several failed relationships, you question if you will ever find the one, or whether your parents' failed love has doomed you.’
Recommended colour: red Recommended traits: flirty, irresistible, hopeless romantic, friendly, schmoozer
Have at least seven friends
Work a part-time job as a teenager before becoming a nectar maker as a young adult
Travel at least once to Champs Les Sims
Have three failed relationships before finding the one
Have two children
Throw or attend a party at least once a week
Generation 4: Onyx
‘You grew up in a happy, loving family, but you were always a little different. A quiet, shy thing, you preferred your solitude and books, instead of interacting with others or participating in parties like the rest of your family. As you grow older, the differences between you and the rest of your family cause a wedge to form, and you long to find someone who understands you. A chance encounter with an occult opens up a whole new world to you.’
Recommended colour: black and/or dark grey Recommended traits: bookworm, shy, grumpy, supernatural fan
Be close with your family as a child but start to grow apart as a teenager
Become enemies with your sibling
Become a writer
Meet your future partner at a park
They must be either a vampire or a witch
After two dates, allow yourself to be turned or become a witch
Move into an old, mysterious mansion (up to you as to how this looks!)
Have children
Generation 5: Bloodstone
‘You were born as an occult. Regardless of your opinion on the matter, you were raised to be the best vampire or witch you could be, not to be ashamed of who you were, nor to hide from others. Will you follow what's in your blood or fight to change your destiny?’
Recommended colour: dark green and red Recommended traits: genius, charismatic, virtuoso
Note: This generation can be played in two ways!
Vers. 1
Do not cure yourself and do not buy a cure
If a witch, you will become an alchemist and try to become a zombie master
If a vampire, you will become a fortune teller (scam branch) and will try to turn the town
Get married (partner must be a witch or vampire like yourself)
Have one child
Vers. 2
Do not cure yourself but try to find the cure or make it yourself
If a witch, follow the alchemy artisan LTW
If a vampire, join the music career (symphonic branch)
If playing as a witch, you can only use positive spells/charms and potions
If playing as a vampire, you cannot drink from anyone (save for your partner, if you wish) and must feed yourself by plasmafruit
Get married (partner must be a witch or vampire like yourself)
Have one child
Make or purchase the cure for your condition, but do not use it on yourself
Generation 6: Pearl
‘Your parent may or may not have been able to cure themselves, but you will not fail. You hear of a cure being advertised at the local laboratory. It seems too good to be true but you take a chance and are rewarded for your efforts. Congratulations, you are now a human. A new life reveals itself in front of you and you can live as you see fit. You've always been a compassionate soul and decide to join the medical career to help and heal others.’
Recommended colour: white or pale grey Recommended traits: socially awkward, genius, workaholic, heavy sleeper, nurturing
Become human (use either the cure from your parent, or go to the science lab)

Master the logic skill
Move back to the old legacy home
Never get married, you may date and have a partner, but you cannot marry them
Have your first and only child as an adult
Move the other parent of your child into the family (up to you whether you live as a couple or not)
Generation 7: Citrine
‘You have a rather unconventional family and an upbringing that's different from most. You love your parents but find their lives too neat and too clinical. With or without their approval, you decide to become a performer, it's less stable than their careers but it brings you joy, and perhaps you can bring others joy along the way too!'
Recommended colour: pale orange, yellow, and/or white Recommended traits: charismatic, natural born performer, friendly
Join one of the ‘performer’ careers as a YA (in this case it is counting as singer, magician, or acrobat)
Master at least one instrument
Have ten friends
Have children with at least two different sims
Get married
Become a celebrity
Generation 8: Moss Agate
‘As a child, you loved living the high life thanks to your famous parent. However, as you grew older, you began to resent that lifestyle, hating the paparazzi and the lack of privacy. People always speculated you might follow in their footsteps, but as a teenager you discover your green thumb, before taking a leap and deciding to live as a farmer as an adult.’

Optional: raise said pet from their youngest lifestage

Generation 9: Aquamarine
‘Born on a farm, you understood and appreciated the value of hard work from a young age. Despite your love for your home, you have other dreams, and from a young age have a passion for swimming. As an adult, you decide to become a lifeguard, spending time by the water, and saving lives at the same time.’
Recommended colour: pale turquoise Recommended traits: loves to swim, angler, athletic, disciplined
Join the lifeguard career as a YA
Master the athletic and fishing skills
Meet a mermaid

Recommended colour: pastel colours and white Recommended traits: eccentric, good, childish, artistic
Become a painter or a sculptor as a YA
