MySims Legacy Challenge - The Douglas Family
I keep telling @Skeilah I'm gonna start a legacy challenge. So I started a legacy challenge :D
I decided to use @alexis3142's MySims Legacy Challenge. I'm hoping it will have just the right amount of guidance and goals yet also freedom to create my own story that I'll stay motived each generation. I am also using @Skeilah's own version of this challenge as inspiration as well.
Some background info and rambling :smile: :
My Rules:
----
Meet Rose Douglas

Rose is a young adult with the traits associated with the Goth Boy generation - loner, creative, and gloomy. Her aspiration is Painter Extraordinaire, and her career is Freelance Artist. She lives with her wife, two daughters, and pets in Willow Creek on a lot I've named Dogwood Hideaway.
Goth Boy Generation Description:
Meet Rose's family - her wife, Carrie (adult), and her daughters, Beatrix (child) and Isla (toddler). I don't have a good picture of their dog (Maeby) and cat (Juniper) who are based off my real life pets, but they will make an appearance soon I'm sure :)

Here is their home. It was originally a gallery find that I've edited over the years as I've acquired new packs. It's kind of a hot mess of a house, if I'm being honest, but it's homey and eclectic.

Spoiler
I decided to use one of the first sims I ever created, Rose Douglas, as the founder of this legacy. I typically play without aging, so Rose and her family have been relatively unchanged since I created them in 2017, but I've always wanted to see Rose's future generations grow and flourish, so I though it might be nice to use her to motivate myself to play my first real legacy.
I have not decided the ultimate order that I'm doing each MySim generation in, but I am going to start with Goth Boy for Rose, since that generation focuses on painting, which is Rose's favorite hobby. For this challenge, I used MCCC to reset all her aspirations and cheated her painting skill down to zero, so she will be ready to complete her generational goals :)

My Rules:

I borrowed these from @Skeilah though edited them to fit my own personal challenge and gameplay style.
I will work out the order of the generations soon! I also may add more rules or tweak some things as I get in the groove of playing. I'm also not sure how often I'll post or how long my posts will be, but I should figure that out soon, I hope :)
- I'm going to play the whole Challenge (= 20 generations).
- Gameplay with the new generation begins once all generation goals are completed.
- Complete the MySims trophies Collection at the end of Generation 20
- The heir of each generation will be the oldest child born or adopted in the previous generation.
- Lifespan - Long (though I may switch to Normal once I get a better feel for how long generational goals are taking)
- No restarting after bad events.
- No cheating needs for each current heir, though I may cheat needs for family members just because who has time for all that lol
I will work out the order of the generations soon! I also may add more rules or tweak some things as I get in the groove of playing. I'm also not sure how often I'll post or how long my posts will be, but I should figure that out soon, I hope :)
