THE SIREN’s CURSE (challenge)

 

🧜‍♀️ The Siren’s Curse Challenge – A Sims 4 Legacy of Death and Water

 

 

Created by:  @simzfreakz

Genre: Story-driven supernatural challenge

Style: Generational-lite, fantasy drama

Playable In: Base game + Island Living recommended (for mermaids)

Inspired by: Gothic myths, tragic mermaid folklore, and simmering generational trauma

 

 

 

 

💀 THE LEGEND

 

 

“A mermaid’s love comes with a price. If she brings life into the world, then when that life grows… hers must end.”

 

Centuries ago, a mermaid made a deal with the ocean to protect her child. In exchange, the sea demanded the bloodline. Now, every mermaid born into this cursed legacy must die when their child becomes a teenager.

 

But only if they’re a mermaid.

 

Some children are spared. Some are born human and escape the sea’s grip. But when a mermaid is born again in the bloodline… the curse returns.

 

 

 

 

🧜‍♀️ THE RULES

 

 

This is not a traditional generational challenge. Think of it more like Rags to Riches or the Not So Berry Challenge — a set of gameplay rules to guide your storytelling.

 

 

 

 

🌊 SETUP

 

 

  1. Create your founder: A young adult human Sim named whatever you want.
  2. Move them into Sulani (or a beach lot of your choosing).
  3. Within 7 in-game days, they must become a mermaid using Mermadic Kelp.
  4. They must have at least one biological child after becoming a mermaid.
  5. Build a beach mansion before their death — it will become the family home.

 

 

 

 

 

🔱 THE CURSE

 

 

When a mermaid gives birth, she will die the moment her child becomes a teenager.

 

 

  • The curse only activates if the parent is a mermaid (born or turned by kelp).
  • The death must be natural or planned (drowning, old age, emotional death, etc.).
  • No cheating death — no Ambrosia, no Dedeathify, no resurrection.
  • If the parent is not a mermaid, nothing happens. They live.
  • If no mermaids are born, the curse remains dormant until one is.

🧬 CURSE CHAIN

 

 

  • If your founder dies because of the curse, but their child is not a mermaid → the curse ends.
  • If a mermaid is born again later (ex: a grandchild), the curse reactivates.
  • Only one mermaid per generation is allowed — either naturally born or by kelp. No more.
  • You may choose which child is cursed by giving them mer
