Supernatural Legacy Challenge - Small Rules Update 2/23/21!

or Supernatural Creatures Legacy Challenge
https://i.imgur.com/aSuZoV7.png
Put together by @Haids5987 and I


About
This challenge is designed to be story-based, meaning how each Generation comes to fit into their supernatural role will depend entirely on the player. Did the Sim make a pact with a Witch or Demon? Or did their parent’s actions play a role in their fate?

The rules for this will be fairly loose, reflecting the typical Legacy Challenge rules with specific goals for each Generation. Heir Aspirations and Traits will be mostly up to Player choice, though some Gens will have specific options to choose from. There are ten Generations total.

Expansions & Other Packs
Most generations have rules requiring the use of specific expansions or game-packs. Please feel free to overlook or change any rules to suit what packs you own!

General Rules
There really are no general rules. Feel free to incorporate other rules from the main Legacy Challenge or any others you favor.

Notes

  • Even though pretty much all of these “beings” do not yet exist in-game, there is plenty of Custom Content out there to enhance the challenge. Even without CC this can be done with basic EA items; it’s the imagination and story that brings them to life!


  • While you’re welcome to make these creatures immortal, I am going under the assumption that they are not. Vampires are the exception to this.


  • This challenge is more than open for more ideas or adjustments!


Credit
I'd like to give credit to @zathyra who put together the Bewitched Legacy Challenge. The witch alignment concept from that challenge is really clever and we thought it'd suit the Witch generation of this challenge really well! (We can remove this from our challenge if preferred!)

Updates:

9.18.20 - Removed Magical bloodline trait requirements from Gen 2
- Generation 2 has been updated for the Realm of Magic game pack!
2.23.21 - Added goals to Gen 5 (Fairy)
- Added alternative to gen 9 (Amazon): Added Goblin.

    Immortal, powerful, and often terrifying, stories of Vampires have existed for millenia, across countless cultures. Perhaps you were born into a family of old Vampires and now seek to begin your own legacy? Or perhaps you have always been interested in the myths and seek out these dark creatures on your own?


    Founder:

    • May be any gender
    • May start as Human or as Vampire


  • If starting as a Human, the Founder must have a Vampire spouse (or significant other) and must be turned into a Vampire before Gen two is born.
  • If starting as a Vampire, the Founder must have a human spouse (or significant other).


    • Spouse may or may not be turned into a Vampire.

    Aspiration:

    • Any of the Vampire aspirations


  • Vampire Family
  • Master Vampire
  • Good Vampire

    Traits:

    • Player choice - this is the founder, so make them however you like!

    Generation Goals:

    • Complete Aspiration
    • Turn at least two Sims into Vampires - only one can be a family member!
    • Max Vampire Lore skill
    • Earn at least Prime Vampire Rank

    Career:

    • Player choice

    Optional:

    • Have the Vampire founder/parents around for the entire duration of the Legacy, since they are officially immortal.


  • They can be moved to a separate lot.

    You have been raised in the most unconventional of families, so naturally you would have the most unconventional of interests. The occult has always called to you, ever since you were a young child. Perhaps you discovered a grimoire in your parent’s library of Vampiric tomes, or perhaps you actively sought out such a book for yourself? No matter the case, you have chosen to live your life honing your witchcraft - but what sort of witch will you be?


    Heir/Heiress:

    • May be a Vampire or Human
    • May not be an Alien
    • With Realm of Magic Vampires cannot be made into Spellcasters (as far as I'm aware). Therefore if your heir is a Vampire, you may follow the rules below and exclude the RoM specific options.

    Alignment: The Witch or Warlock must have a single alignment which will determine the type of Sim they end up becoming. This choice will determine specific traits and Spell focus. Alignment is player choice.

    • Good: Practical Magic is your focus. May also delve into Mischief spells, so long as they harm no one.
    • Evil: Untamed Magic is your focus. May also delve into Mischief spells.
    • Neutral: All three or a mixture. You prefer to keep a healthy balance.

    Note: A Sim may learn any spell even if it goes against their alignment. They simply should refrain from using those spells.

    Aspiration:

    • Any - if heir is a Vampire.
    • Spellcraft & Sorcery
    • Purveyor of Potions

    Traits:

    Good Alignment

    • Good
    • Family-Oriented
    • Player Choice
    - Evil is not allowed
    - Mean is not allowed


    Evil Alignment

    • Evil
    • Mean
    • Player Choice

    - Good is not allowed


    Neutral Alignment

    • All three are Player Choice

    - Evil is not allowed
    - Mean is not allowed
    - Good is not allowed


    Generation Goals:

    • Complete aspiration - you may take and complete the second RoM Aspiration once the first is completed.
    • Max Herbalism Skill
    • Max Wellness Skill - Only if Good or Neutral aligned
    • Max Mischief Skill - Only if Evil aligned
    • Have at least one pet cat - if RoM is installed, you may replace a pet cat with a Familiar
    • Grow an herbal garden (for herbalism ingredients!)
    • Purchase a wishing well
    • Always travel by broom
    • Must learn the Ultimate Spell from the head Sage of your spell focus - Practical, Mischief, Untamed or all three.

    Career:

    • Culinary
      - Mixologist Branch
    • Gardening
    • Scientist
    • Retail
      - Own an herbalism/charm/potions/magic shop!

    Your parent(s) should have expected that their hand in magic would have some effect on their children. You, for better or for worse, were born under a full moon - and have acquired certain… canine traits over the years. But even though you’re hairier than the rest of your family and sometimes get the urge to mark your territory, you won’t let it get you down! How could you, when you’re such a good wolfy?

    • Cannot be Vampire
    • Cannot be an Alien

    Aspiration:
    Any of these -

    • Family-Oriented

    • Complete Aspiration

    • Have four children (your litter!)

    Growing up your family was close-knit, doing almost everything together. In some ways it was nice, but you never quite felt like you belonged in their pack. After reaching a certain age, you discovered that you have very… different urges than the rest of your family. Perhaps you were simply born an incubus/succubus, or perhaps you’ve met one before and sold your soul to become one as well. All you know is that you hunger, and there’s only one way to sate your appetite…


    Heir/Heiress:

    Max Skills:

    As a child, your household was full of whimsy and wonder, so it’s no surprise that you feel in your heart a sense of magic as well.

    Who has time for singing and swimming? Not you, that’s for sure! You’d rather have your hands in the dirt, digging up fossils or gemstones. You love ancient relics and sparkly coins, and may be a bit greedy with the beautiful jewels you find…

    The only similarity you have to your parents is a love for beautiful things - yourself included. Where they love digging for gemstones, you favor more cultural pursuits, such as the fine arts.

    Grace and elegance perfectly describe your parents and family, but no matter what you could never meet their level of perfection.

    Grace and elegance perfectly describe your parents and family, but no matter what you could never meet their level of perfection. Perhaps you are simply the duckling in a pond of swans, or perhaps there is something more… supernatural to explain your differences.

    • Never marry or keep a relationship.
    • Have one child. Twins/Triplets are an exception, but no more after that.
    • Survive with your own two hands: live off the land, build your own furniture, knit, make things – You never want to go into society, so it’s up to you to acquire everything you need!
    • Study Herbalism and take trips to Granite Falls often (if you have the pack). Make your own mixtures. Can also study and make potions

    Impulsive and mischievous, you have never been what others would describe as peaceful. However, even though you’re surrounded by people who love you, you still find yourself longing for more attention, always wanting to be the center of attention. Is it because you are an extrovert at heart and are destined for popularity...or is it because you are covering your terrible loneliness?
