Alphabet SuperLegacy Challenge Rules
This is a legacy challenge where each generation represents a different letter, and must explore all of the game play starting with that letter: aspirations, collections, woohoo spots, reward store traits, you name it. I already have athread for this challenge that has been updated through Crystal Creations. Since it was transferred from the old forum, it's very hard to update further. It's past time I added game play from Lovestruck to this challenge, so I'm starting a new thread. Here are the general rules: Ignore any objective related to a pack you don’t own. You can choose to skip a generation if your pack limitations leave it extremely short on content. I've removed three of the letters (Q,U,Y) from the challenge because they don't have much to do, even with all the packs. No cheat codes that help you move through your objectives faster. No rules about aging. No rules governing non-heirs. Just because one generation has something as an objective, doesn’t mean that other generations can’t do it for fun/convenience. If you don’t have at least three traits in the assigned letter, you have to randomize the rest. No self-discovery traits starting with a different letter. Each heir's name, and that of any pets they have, must begin with their letter. Likes and Dislikes: The heir can only have the likes/dislikes assigned to their generation. Color preferences are assigned when they age up to Child. From that point forward, all the heir's outfits will reflect their color preferences. If you decorate a space for them, you must consider their color preferences. Fashion and interior design preferences are assigned when they age up to teen (if you have those packs). From that point forward, all their outfits and decorated spaces will reflect their style preferences. Lot Traits and Challenges: The heir must have all of their assigned lot challenges equipped in all of their designated residences. If the heir has three assigned lot traits or less, they also must be assigned. If the heir has four or more lot traits, they have to change upwhich three are in play. The heir's transitional aspirations (the ones that decide the bonus traits) have to be aspirations from their generation, unless they don't have two aspirations. At the start of the challenge, the Gen 1 "founder" will be very young, so you will need to give them at least one parent.BissenNess2 days agoSeasoned Vanguard40Views0likes1Comment- 64Views3likes3Comments
Random legacy - McIntosh family part 1
I got inspired by videos of other simmers and decided to give random legacy challenge a shot. Oh boy, is it hard! Random really didn't like me this time: permanent barista career (or at least I think that it has to be permanent and no other income allowed? Or maybe I'm just a fool...), no helpers, idle careers (can't help w school or career/job), single with 3 kids. Okay, I don't have 3 kids yet, only 1 because I'll lose it honestly if I have all 3 kids at once 😭😭 Btw, I used a special website designed for this challenge apparently to random things but there are also lists with careers etc on some kinda sims forums. And you know what? There was no barista career in the list I've found... But I guess playing as barista and having no other income other than that is kinda fun. Fun because it's hard and I think I've never been challenged in Sims like that ('cause I never bothered to) The unlucky one is Janet McIntosh (name and surname were randomized as well as her appearance and style). She reminds me of Cassandra Goth, probably because of ponytails lol Janet lives in Oasis Springs and collects stuff every day, as per the random rule I got (but she can't sell her collection as far as I understand. Maybe I'm wrong tho?). She hates her job since she doesn't like any kinds of commitments and she's afraid that she will be stuck with it forever. Janet's not wrong on that one... Poor girl. She's also mean and mischievous, but that's fun. She's almost sworn enemies with Geoffrey Landgraab (I did that on purpose) and I personally cackle because of that. As for her third trait, Janet's romantic. Also welcome father of the family — Quentin what's his surname. Well, he's biological father of our dear heir Robin alright, but he can't live with them or be married to Janet, as per the rules (she has to be a single mom). Shame, because of Janet's encouragement Quentin changed careers and after being a nanny became an entertainer and could have brought us actual money :( Fun fact is that Robin must become an entertainer one day too, because random wished so (which is very interesting coincidence. Kinda like a plot element). And there's our little heir Robin. His present random aspiration is to be creative and he's an art lover (random was very consistent with that). He also was a top notch infant and a happy child, hooray! Despite the fact that their living conditions have always been less than satisfactory (they don't have an actual house, just the needed utilities and beds...). Let's see if I can survive for longer! lol Btw, I've already randomized what second gen rules are gonna be, which include: 2 kids; comedian career (secondary careers: astronaut, culinary); two live-in partners, at least 1 kid with the first one; sims have to get in fights at least once a week; teens in the family have to work AND max their part time jobs before 3rd gen starts, even if they will become young adults That's definitely easier and pretty entertaining, if you ask me! You know, Robin's mother is a meanie and all he ever saw was her getting into fights and badmouthing people. So... I guess it's logical he and his future siblings will get into fights as well. It's just fitting. And like I said, Robin's father works in entertainment too. Maybe we can imagine that our little boy decided to follow in father's footsteps? Even if he was an absent one. Fun fact: Quentin and Robin actually met each other because Quentin came on our lot to celebrate HIS birthday on the same day Robin became a child. Can't say why he chose our lot, I was honestly surprised when that happened after he invited Janet via phone 🤔Let's imagine he actually cares about his son (we all know tho that the reason he's not a top notch dad is purely technical...)DariaBL7 days agoRising Newcomer25Views1like1CommentSIMS IN BLOOM CHALLENGE - CH 1 - GEN 1
Meet DAISY BLOOM, our Generation 1 Founder. Challenge rules state that the founder has to have the Cheerful, Clumsy, and Loves outdoors traits, and that she has to max the wellness, fishing and gardening skills, complete the Freelance Botanist Aspiration, and have a job as a gardener. Likes the colors white and yellow. She can marry, but that sim must have the loves outdoors trait. My own additional rules are that Daisy must have a fully functional house with a basic bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living area before she can move her potential spouse in. I also downloaded one of the Maxis pre-made spa builds in Newcrest. ~ ~ ~ Playing Rags to Riches in Spring (30 days). Moved Daisy onto a vacant lot - 2 Olde Mill Road in Henford-on-Bagley. She sold all the trees and rocks on her lot and got $648 simoleons. I then downloaded a 0 simoleon Abandoned Cottage (it's a debug house), and added the debug toilet/shower stall from the Jungle Adventure pack. I also placed a debug contemplative stool (rental) for meditation. (This actually works to increase wellness skill). Lot traits are Simple Living, Penny Pixies, Homey, Wild foxes and Off-the grid. With the funds she had from selling the rocks and trees on her lot, she bought a dumpster (her bed for now - lol), and an Always Has a Snack Bag. She also purchased 2 inground garden patches ($10 each). After this, she had $4 simoleons left. She then got a job in the gardener career. It was now time to make some simoleons to purchase some garden seeds. She found a frog, some upgrade parts, a MySims trophy, and did some fishing at the pond. The welcome wagon came and never placed the food on the ground. So whatever it was, they took it back with them. She then headed to Finchwick and did some fishing...during a thunderstorm...and egads, she was struck by lightning. Deciding that she had enough fishing, she headed to the Gnome's Arms Pub to see if there were any eligible bachelors who also loved the outdoors. She feasted on free chips and water and made several friends, but no-one with this trait. She napped on the couch in the Gnomes Arms Pub and so ended Day 1. ~ ~ ~ Notes: Sims in Bloom Challenge Rules - go HERE. Abandoned Cottage by Quakeers. I had done a preliminary run-through for this challenge and found it difficult to find sims with the loves outdoors trait. So, bearing that in mind, I randomly downloaded some sims from the gallery, and also used some of the pre-made Maxis sims for potential love interests. I moved them into an empty lot in Newcrest, so Daisy will randomly meet them. Here they are. From left to right - Barry Varner (by nengster65), Terence Thayer (by nengster65), Brenton Ferguson (by Gods Treasure), Edmund Leighton (by Rickchikchik), Tristen Palmer (Maxis pre-made), Rémy St. Feu (Maxis pre-made), Kurt Lumberjackson (Maxis pre-made), and Pierce Coombs (Maxis pre-made),117Views2likes15CommentsAsking for Simmers Opinion

Hi! I started playing just a few weeks ago. I'm wondering if it's okay to create a thread for everything? Instead of dividing it into build thread, gameplay and so on. I would love to have it all in one place, sort of a diary/journal for all Sims 4 stuff. Or should I make separate threads? What is your favorite part of playing Sims? Any tips or ideas for getting started? (I was unsure whether to post this in the general or creative section, so I hope this is ok.)LazyLuisa10 days agoRising Novice18Views0likes0CommentsAnimation Pack 113 | The Sims 4 | Mermaid Animation Pack 2

I've put my Sims through a lot, and recently I had the son of a household leave alone in a rented apartment, the smallest of all, with the goal of earning enough to buy the biggest apartment, the one with three floors and a swimming pool. He won't have lived long enough to see it, but his wife will. His children lived there, his grandchildren grew up there, and now his grandson is leaving with nothing. But now, I've given him a bigger goal. Because on the largest lot in the neighborhood in the countryside, I demolished everything and built only a small cabin with the bare minimum. After buying the property, my Sim only has a few Simoleons left. From there, my goal is to have him develop an entire farm, by gradually developing the land. J'en ai fait vivre des choses à mes Sims, et encore récemment j'ai fait partir le fils d'un foyer seul dans un appartement en location, le plus petit de tous, avec pour objectif de gagner assez pour s'acheter le plus grand des appartements, celui sur trois étages avec piscine. Lui n'aura pas vécu assez longtemps pour le voir, mais sa femme si. Ses enfants y ont vécu, ses petits enfants y ont grandi, et voilà que son petit fils part à son tour avec rien. Mais là, je lui ai donné un plus gros objectif. Car sur le plus grand terrain du quartier à la campagne, j'ai tout démoli et construit uniquement une petite cabane avec le strict minimum. Après achat de la propriété, mon Sim n'a plus que quelques simflouz. A partir de là, j'ai pour objectif de lui faire développer une ferme en entier, en aménageant petit à petit le terrain. And some time later, in addition to having started a small family with a wife and two children, this is what my Sim has managed to build thanks to the money earned from his chicken coop, his stables and his vegetable garden. He even built a second house for his son who has just become an adult. Et quelques temps plus tard, en plus d'avoir fondé une petite famille avec une femme et deux enfants, voilà ce que mon Sim a réussi à bâtir grâce à l'argent gagné avec son poulailler, ses étables et son potager. Il a même construit une seconde maison pour son fils tout récemment devenu adulte.Morcar5611 days agoRising Newcomer16Views1like1CommentShare your Lovestruck Builds

I was unable to edit and repair some of the pics in my original thread so I'm just starting fresh. 🙂 Plus I wanted to change the order of some of the episodes. Introduction Some of you have probably seen various pics of my sim family in the various Screenshots and What Happened threads. I just wanted to gather all those pics and create a thread to help me keep track of what was happening in my game. I've been playing this family since 2018 and what started as a Super Sim Challenge with Julianna eventually evolved into a Super Sim Family Challenge as I became attached to Julianna's and Edward's children. I usually switch off and focus on different family members depending on which career, aspiration, or pack feature I want to focus on. I move family members in and out of the main household as I play them. Edward and Julianna were both created in CAS as single households. I played Julianna for a while, had her start a relationship with Edward and they married shortly afterward. Shown above is Edward, Julianna, and their three daughters, Juliette, Hannah, and Isabel. Also Juliette's two children, Amelia and Asher, with her fiancée, Sebastian. Amelia and Asher were added to the family in anticipation of High School Years as I didn't have any school age sims in the household when that pack was announced. Juliette and Sebastian's wedding plans are still on hold. In addition to their three daughters, Julianna and Edward also have a young adult son, Theo, who was created in CAS. He was raised by his maternal grandparents. Theo and his wife, Jennifer, have 2 children. Twin toddlers named Grace and Hope. Julianna's parents, her 2 siblings and their children and Edward's parents, his 3 siblings and their children are part of the extended family.271Views5likes49CommentsShare Your Spawning Lovestruck Couples
After playtesting mods about reducing Lovestruck couples but still have not completely disabled it. I start thinking "While I can't avoid it, why don't use it as a chance? Some are interesting!" So, I want to open a place where we can share moments of this "Lovestruck" situation in a positive view. (For discussing the problem of spamming couples, let's discuss it here. ) Posting guide - Mainly focus on spawning couples (NPC, townies) rather than active households that you can control. - It can be anything such as lovely, cute, funny, weird, or chaotic (ex. 4 couples in the same frame). - Spamming is welcome because I might have plenty of them during my gameplay lol. My first turn Rainbow 🌈 and the cloud ☁️ They aren't spawned to be a dating couple by Lovestruck Pack (role_EP16NPC_VenueDate). They are just Henford's barfly at the same time. But the game can randomly make them cloudgazing too. I think they are cute! Note - If anyone is curious why I can keep the cloud icon without opening the UI, I save screenshots of two versions and combine them.coloncocon19 days agoSeasoned Vanguard22Views0likes1CommentBase Game Builds Challenges!
I decided to go and look at the base game builds that I did with my cutesyjenn account, and found that they have gotten more downloads than most of the builds I have made that utilize multiple packs. So it seems that base game builds are in demand. For example my cottage using cottage living got 14 downloads, but when I took that same build and made it purely base game it got 47 downloads. So maybe it's time to take on the challenge of creating for players who can't afford packs! I have found that if you toggle on "base game" only stuff in b&b, it will untoggle itself at some point, so just make sure to keep an eye on that. :) In any case, let's get building! You guys may know that my challenges are pretty loose, and there are no winners or losers, this is for those of us who like to build and just want another challenge! Let's see. First challenge. How about...make a base game occult build, so think any occult in the game or not in the game (I know a lot of us have asked for fairies, for example, and that's probably what I'll be doing!) - I think this will be a fun one! Now I have to get building lol. Remember to add #bgb1 to your build! base game build 1 Here is my fairy house - I added flowers! - the flowers version can be found in my LaunchSneezes account also with the hashtag #bgb1 - slideshow link https://ibb.co/album/23YrBvLaunchSneezes22 days agoSeasoned Hotshot136Views5likes13CommentsA Love Like Ours Legacy

Henry Jonquil and Emma Kelsey are the founders. They are the two teens in the picture at the top. My blog has aChapters List, but I'll keep links to the chapters on this thread, too. Fun fact: A jonquil is a fragrant, bright yellow flower that is in the same genus (Narcissus) as the daffodil. Narcissus is the birth flower of the month of March so starting this thread this month is perfect :) I hope you enjoyA Love Like Ours and thank you for reading!
