Gen. 1: “Zen in the City”
With the little money you have, you want to start something big. Create your own little perfect community. Maybe there will be a (financial) fiasco every now and then, but just keep your head up (or upside down during your yoga routine). It will all be fine.
This generation is about starting a community based on big dreams and little starter money. Just remember to start small and dream big. Eventually you will have an amazing little community including all the add-ons you can dream off!

Location: Tomarang
Rules
Become a landlord in your own Residential Rental lot. Make sure that there are 5 additional rooms/houses/trailers/etc are available to rent (make one “bad” place that has some hidden mold…)
Someone as Zen as you doesn’t really care about looks. As long as the outfit is nice and comfy. Just pamper yourself with face masks and good manicures. You take more care about the fish in your aquarium than the latest fashion.
Create an outdoor hanging spot in the patio to host neighborly get-togethers, including a pool and places for children to play. And for indoors: have a shared laundry room for all your tenants to use.
Make sure at least 4 rental places are a bit more fancy, a little extra doesn’t hurt anyone.
Get your handiness on: make sure you maximize your handiness skills.
Gen. 2: “#TeamJacob”
You move to this small town called Moonwood Hill by yourself to start over again on your own little farming ground. Here you become acquainted by the locals. While intrigued by their native appearance, you kept your distance. But accidents happen in small corners..
This generation is about farming and werewolf fun. Becoming part of a close knit community and hosting social events make you look like a good next door sim, but perhaps you’re just trying to cover up your renegade actions..

It’s just a phase: Become a werewolf when you’re a young adult, but once you grow into adulthood, you must drink the cure. You should not get bitten, but turn into one by contracting werebies. As a fun “pack” bonus: You’re allowed to have a dog once you turn into a werewolf.
Host at least 4 playdates when your kid(s) turn into toddlers. These playdates should include some water fun in the backyard: (toddler) pools, slides, water fights included!
Include an indoor water activity (example: have an indoor pool) and a Greenhouse to keep farming available through all kinds of weather.
Maximize Gourmet Cooking.
Gen. 3: “MTV Cribs”
From a simple farmer's life, to living among the stars with the goal of becoming the biggest star! You want to give the world a glimpse into your lavish home, your amazing lifestyle and your daily rituals of being an actor married to another actor. But when “lights, camera, action” is over, you seem to be the villain of your own movie with your double life.
This generation is about working hard and climbing to the top of the Actors career. Everything seems to be perfect in your life. But secretly you live a double life. As long as it all looks good on camera and no one will figure out its fake, right?

Time to show off your wealth!
Collect at least 3 crystals and insert them into Celestial Crystal Crowns. Own a Duck Security© SCR009E Super XL Smart Vault and put at least 12.000 simoleons into it as savings. Own The Forest of Dreams Sleeping Pod and sleep inside of it at least once a week. Own a Luminary's Exotic Water Garden and keep Piranha’s in it.
Have a Celebrity Home lot trait (you may not be one yet, but you sure do feel like one!).
You must marry a fellow Actor. Once the perfect proposal has been made by the picture perfect future spouse: host a Family Gathering to announce your upcoming wedding!
And don’t forget to have a rehearsal dinner before you tie the knot: don’t forget The Gravy Fountain Mark IV Stand! Somehow your spouse seems to love that hideous thing.
A family member should be the wedding officiant
As you agreed upon the gravy fountain, your spouse also agreed upon your vibrant ice cream maker. Have a scullery dedicated to become a sweet bar with the ice cream maker included.
You may be(come) rich, but you are all about boho interior and Modern Parisian fashion trends! Include some vibrant and warm colors in your interior and apply some silk and sparkles in your outfits.
Include your own Reader's Retreat in your house: the place where you can read a book and research some of your future roles as an actor.
For some additional drama as we love drama: have a lover and give that sim a residence key.. Also, your kid(s) don’t really look like your partner.. Could it be the “werewolf genes” explanation or will your spouse ever find out..?
Gen. 4: “The 2 sides of the internet”
Sometimes you’re a wizard, sometimes you’re more of a fairy. Both personalities have the same interests and goals, but they both have different styles of achieving those. And boy, they both like their mischief. Sometimes pretty innocent, sometimes a tad more evil.
This generation is all about fighting some battles and getting challenged. There’s a lot to learn when it comes to magic, but also when it comes to making money and finding energy to party hard. Starting a family might not be easy, but hey, maybe adopting or having a science baby will help when there’s no time finding a love interest?

Have a room/outhouse/basement/etc. dedicated as a place to host parties. Include a Starry Eyed Collection Banquet Table for the munchies, a photo booth for the memories. Host a party every 5 simdays. And don’t forget to maximize your Entrepreneur skills!
You will practice the Magic of Mischief. Have a Leafbat as your familiar. And start a wand collection: start with a Marble wand and eventually achieve the Wand of the Forgotten.
Oh no! A Midlife crisis! Once you become an Adult, switch your career to become a Paranormal Investigator. Move to a new Haunted House residential lot and include a seance table with a Crystal Ball. Once you have successfully survived there for a simweek, move back to your old residence and become a freelancer again (I recommend you to start your family after finishing this mini challenge). Once you're back to your old lifestyle: include some spooky aspects for decoration as a “trophy”.
There are two sides of you: The Pretty Prince(ss) and the Growling Grunge. This split personality should show in your outfits. For example: you have 4 daily wears: 2 of them are pastel pop style, and 2 of them are grungy. This also applies to formal, swimwear, etc.
Before you move on to the next heir, you must kill off this character by: Death by Urban Myth.
Gen. 5: “McDreamy, McSteamy and McProteiny”
Everyone stops and stares as soon as you walk in. Is it your dreamy face, your steamy personality or your muscles built on protein shakes? You may not know what it is, but you know how to use it.
This generation's heir is a heartbreaker, but has both beauty and brains. Some may say this sim got cast to become a doctor, and not really studied for it, but everyone trusts the twinkle in your eye. You might be lucky in love, but not as much as settling down and building a family.

Career: Athlete - Bodybuilder,

Rules
Once you’re at the max of the Athlete career, switch and become a Doctor (this makes a lot more sense if you know the cast of Grey's Anatomy). You must join your sim to work at least once a week, and start something romantic with a colleague.
Before you quit your Athlete career, take a vacation and go to Batuu to join the Scoundrels. You must stay there for at least 4 days. You must return with a Droid.
Build your own gym at home and include a climbing wall and dance floor where you can follow work out videos. Make sure your Hamster also has a spot in the gym.
Make sure all “empty” spots in your house are filled with clutter: all the shelves must be stocked, empty spots in the bookcase, tables (keep space for plates and availability to cook, etc, but other than that you can clutter it). It might be cluttered, but the environment is clean of dirt. Have your interior designed in industrial/contemporary style.
Maximize your fitness skill and get yourself a big romantic history:
one ex-wife/husband
two ex-fiance(e)
three ex-girl/boyfriends
four woohoo partners
five one night stands
The order of events does not matter, as long as you have at least 5 biological children and at least one of them has to grow up in this household.
Gen. 6: “Modern Family of Vampires”
You love to cook, you love a clean environment and you love your family. But you absolutely hate the sun. This might explain why you always host slumber parties and feed your guests well.
This generation might take a bit of time, Vampires have a lot of it anyways. First you need to become a vampire, and eventually raise 5 little bat-babies. You need a green thumb for your plasma fruits, but also angler skills for your guests' dishes. Combine this with mixology and handiness skills: it’s a good thing that sleep isn’t mandatory for a vampire.

Rules
Host Slumber Parties every week for the whole household: all kids (starting from toddler age) must invite at least one friend to sleep over (make a friendship bracelet to never forget). You also cannot reject anyone who asks you to stayover. A spare bedroom and additional beds or sleeping bags in the kids room is a must! And since your house will become super busy: build a treehouse where your sims can relax and escape the busy house.
Become a Vampire and create vampire children. As this is a friendly vampire family: only live off plasma fruits and have a kind looking dark-form.
Have a fully equipped kitchen and make sure you make great meals for your guests. You can also earn additional simoleons by selling muffins. As for yourself: treat your heirs bedroom with a vanity table: at least you can see yourself while in your human-form.
Make sure your home is absolutely spotless: hiring a butler to achieve this goal is fine as well. You must update your vacuum with a Bottomless Pit. Also include at least 5 plants in each room. Yes, also the bathroom.
Maximize your fishing skills.
Gen. 7: “I am Creator."
You love your family of Vampires. But somehow, you disliked the “extra” to it, like the extra sharp teeth and the extra sun protection. But most of all: you always missed out on those great family meals provided by your parents!
This generation is built on the family love from the previous generation. But now it’s time to enjoy and explore it. This generation might not be the most rich, but there is a lot of creativity in crafting and a lot of love in giving.

Maximize your cooking skills and unlock at least 3 new recipes while dining out at a restaurant.
Maximize your garden skills (with the help of some sprinklers and Patchy the Straw Man): craft flower arrangements and gift them during the holidays. Children and teenagers must receive knitted clothes as a gift. Get your rocking chair ready!
Take your old room furniture with you when you move out of the previous generation's lot. If unused, these items must be stored in the basement as they give you fond memories of your childhood. You may include other basement treasures and store your little camper toys in the basement when it’s off season (rainy/snowy outside). And this might even still be the best place to watch those old Star Wars movies and play some old school games.
Build Newcrest up from the ground: It must contain at least 5 new vacant residential lots; A restaurant; A bar; A national park
Gen. 8: “I am Creator."
You’re a musical genius: the music you create is pure art. The amount of effort and style in your plays and in your appearance inspires the world. Its impact is huge! As is the impact at home on your girls, but not in a positive way..
This generation's heir grew up in a loving, but crowded and busy family. And clearly hated it. The kids, the loud noises, ugh. Thankfully you could escape the family, but the family life couldn’t escape you, as you adopted 4 girls. And you regretted every second of it.

Rules
Have two pets: they can be cats or dogs or a cat with a dog to your liking. These are your only friends, you must avoid non-household contacts unless they are animals. Make your lot a Cat Friendly and Dog Hangout.
Adopt 4 girls, all together in the age of “child”. Kudos if you name one Annie. You must be strict, maybe even mean and Once they all turn to teenagers, you can have a biological child via the science baby function once the girls turn into teenagers. You must only give love to your biological child. Have a bulletin board that contains all the strict curfew rules. The girls may each have a private journal in which they can write and complain about their life.
Live in a one bedroom Tiny Home Residential: the bedroom must include bunk beds for the girls as you can sleep on a Murphy bed. Start with a Tier 1 House - yes it is possible, you have to be a bit creative, but I playtested it - and once you get a biological child you can upgrade to a Tier 2 house. The kids room must not be decorated looking like your average kids room: it must be sad and gloomy.
As you are a musician: your outfits are styleful, creative and modern. But the girls must look a bit trashy, dirty and grungy.
Once you have your own biological child: maximize your parenting skills and once the adopted girls are all kicked out, upgrade to a Tier 3 house and have a play room and everything that your child wishes for.
b]Gen. 9: “The Mediocre Adventures of Average Sim"
Skiing, snowboarding, rock climbing and fighting bears over smores! You could do all this, but you don’t. Instead, you prefer sledding down the Bunny Slope and camping only on bug-free days. You consider yourself a very adventures Sim. But you’re also a very average sim.
This generation is about - some may say “boring”- adventures in the outdoors. Maybe it has to do with the fact you grew up in a Tiny House, but you want to be outdoors. Just beware of the bugs!
