The Seven Heroes Challenge
We have a new dynasty challenge over at Carl's Guide & Forum: https://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/forum/index.php?topic=31830.msg506716#msg506716
Goal: Superheroes have superpowers, but your seven heroes are just ordinary Sims, doing everyday things -- growing plants, mentoring students, catching criminals. As first responders and essential workers, they’re just trying to do something good for their society. Your teenaged Founder will set up a household where each member will strive for change they want to see in the world. The challenge will end when each member of the household has completed at least one unique project.
Here are the rest of the rules:
Setting up Your File + General Rules
Always play with the most current EA patch.
The Parenthood game pack is required.
Create your Teen founder in CAS. No Vampires or Spellcasters. No evil, mean, or hates children traits.
No Deviance, Galactic Privateer, or Serial Romantic aspirations.
Game Options: Length—Normal; Aging—On; Freewill—High; Season Length & Weather—Player’s Choice. You’re allowed one created holiday per two weeks. All pop-up holidays are okay.
Players can place any community lots they want, and your Sims can move to another world when needed.
In general, all cheats and mods are banned. If you have a stuck Sim and need to reset him/her, go ahead and use the cheat. Building cheats and ones used for screenshots are fine, too. Anything that does not give you an advantage should be okay. If in doubt — ask. Exiting without saving to avoid an unfortunate event is cheating.
Becoming a Hero
Your Founder and heirs must age up with at least 3 positive character traits. If not, it's an automatic fail. Teens may age up as soon as they have the 3 positive character traits.
Your Founder and future Heroes have to complete 7 of the following requirements:
Earn 7 scouting badges
Complete 7 volunteer activities
Find 7 collectibles
Grow 7 plants of different species
Catch 7 fish of different species
Complete 7 emotional whims
Make 7 good friends
Make 7 objects
Complete 7 college credits
Complete 7 odd jobs
Reach level 7 of an adult skill
Finish reading 7 non-skill books
Throw 7 parties
Upon completing the 7 requirements, your Hero can:
1. Begin work on a Project (see below).
2. Add a future hero to the household.
3. Take an immortal potion or serum as needed.
Adding to the Household
You may add to the household through either adoption or birth (including alien abduction). The alien baby will occupy the next available space for a hero. Otherwise, wait until the Founder or previous heir has completed the seven requirements. Adoptees can be any age (baby, toddler, or child).
Only teens may be aged up early, upon receiving three positive character traits.
Projects
Projects are the the core of this Dynasty challenge. Your heroes must do all the work on their project themselves. Each project, including extra projects, must be different. Things that your heroes did as part of their hero requirements may be used, e.g., items found, college credits earned, etc. An * indicates projects that require only the base game.

No prize for being on top, just bragging rights.
Here is a very helpful spreadsheet to keep you organized.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nk_6UhDgvX8Nken6r_OOmT5wtmOOvV02So5WCSFz-Hk/edit#gid=1055734146
Good luck, everyone. And a huge thank you to everyone who pitched in ideas and helped in any way to get this Dynasty polished.

Sims 4 constantly changes with patches and expansions. As a result, all Dynasty rules are subject to change. The team will note any changes in this thread’s 2nd post, including the change date. Dynasty players must keep up with these changes on their own as part of playing the challenge. If there is a rule clarification and you break that rule, there is no guarantee the Challenge Board team will give a second chance.
