Perfect Genetics Challenge
My new video series - Perfect Genetics Challenge - is now available for viewing on YouTube. https://youtu.be/iQUhw5SbutM This video is a little over 16 minutes. It is an introduction to my founder, Olivia. We first meet her in Create a Household. We see her first home and job. She meets her man and they start getting to know each other. This challenge ought to be colourful. Not only does Olivia have blue, purple, pink and yellow hair but she has a very pale blue skin and pinkish purple eyes. The challenge requires her to produce an heir, male or female, who has the exact same hair and eye colour. Once the heir is confirmed, the mother will concentrate on living her life until the heir is old enough to take on the challenge. There is no upper limit to the number of babies she might have to produce before the heir arrives. Consequently I've set the age spans to be reasonably long but will use cake to age the family up as required. I plan to stop the mother from having more babies once it is confirmed the heir has been born. The heir will age up from toddler to child when they have done all of their toddler skills. And from Child to Teen after completing all of the child skills and getting onto the honour roll at school. The teen will age up to young adult after they have been to a prom and have learned fishing and cooking skills and read all of the fishing and recipe books. This means they'll need to get to level 7 in fishing and level 10 in cooking before I will let them age up to Young Adult. They may learn other skills along the way and need to be at least A Grade students. If they haven't learned the required skills and done the required reading within 105 days they'll age up automatically. When the heir is about the age up to Young Adult, hopefully the day before the teen is ready to age up to young adult, I'll age the parents up to Adult. The Adult life stage is also quite long just in case the mother automatically ages up to adult before she has produced the heir. The Elder life stage is also long. Babies will need grandparents around for a while. I may reduce the length of the Elder life stage at some point if the elders are accumulating. Moonlit Falls is full of supernaturals and I won't worry about when that population ages up. I'll be using EA Story Progression so if the town population ages up very slowly maybe there will still be sims around town by the time my founder's descendants start moving into the general townie population. All babies born to the founder and her heirs will have randomised traits with the one exception that each heir must have the dislikes children trait. There are no restrictions on how the main household earns their income. They can go out collecting, or gardening or whatever they choose. I will be getting them the no bills ever lifetime reward asap because I have a bad habit of forgetting about the bills and have difficulty working out what the repo man has taken. Due to the lack of restrictions on how they earn/come by their money the game will have many and varied activities in it throughout this challenge. One of the first wishes my founder got is to travel to Egypt to buy a recipe book. I do plan to grant that wish soon. Perhaps she can go there on her honeymoon. She has already met her man. I made him specially for her. She's blue with purple and blue hair, he's green with green hair and eyes. But their skin colouring is subtle. I think that about covers it. I hope you decide to watch. I'm keeping the length of these episodes to around 10 to 15 minutes each. Please consider subscribing if you are going to watch the videos as that way you'll know whenever a new episode is posted.
Creek Tales - A Pack Legacy Challenge (updated 03/30)
When Maxis introduced the option of turning packs off and on in game, I was wildly tempted to create a Pack Legacy Challenge for the game. Of course, someone else already did, but as usual, I'm all about creating my own rules based on my own playing style and play badly when others dictate my game, which of course means I'll make the rules up as I go, still there are a few basics. Basic guidelines I intend follow: I will start with an entirely base game family, the Creek-family (introduced below). They (including the kids) are generation 1 of this challenge. With every new generation at least one new pack (EP, GP, SP or Kit) will be unlocked. That generation then has to truly explore that pack, meaning jobs, looks, decorations, aspirations, traits, skills even deaths should be explored to the fullest by the sims born in that generation. The exception is seasons, which will be unlocked as the oldest child of gen 1, Willow, ages up to a teen. Which pack that will be unlocked will depend on the first trait given to the first child in the next generation (so a family orientated child will unlock parenthood or growing together, depending on which have been unlocked before). Some traits only unlock kits. In that case the second trait given to a child of that generation will unlock a pack. Some kits will also be unlocked with a specific pack if it feels like a good combination, like country kitchen with cottage living or industrial loft with city living. And some rules (yes, even I have a few rules): All traits are to be given randomly, with the exceptions being that a sim of a new generation MUST take traits of a newly unlocked pack if there are any, randomly if there are several. When every trait of the newly unlocked pack is assigned to a sim in game, randomness for all available traits are allowed. When the first child of the next generation receive their first trait, true randomness applies as that will dictate the next pack to unlock. A new pack is unlocked when the oldest child of a generation ages up to teen. No CC is allowed, a part from the occasional ad-on pack (separations of items already in game, matching chairs to a sofa or more window options). Even add-ons should be kept to a minimum. This is after all about exploring the packs to their fullest. Mods are allowed, but not those that significantly adds gameplay options (such as career-mods, new aspirations, traits or new gameplay). The purpose here is to explore the options of the packs after all. For me, myself, I intend to start out only with BetterBuildBuy and MCCC and try to keep other mods to a minimum (that lasted less than an hour, there are simply too many things I cannot live with in game, but the aim is the same, keep mods to a minimum and no mods that adds gameplay). As for the rest, well that's up in the air still. I plan on starting with aging on normal, but as that is very new to me, I might change that to long instead as I've never managed to live with normal age span before. Either way, adult lifespan will be about twice the usual length for how else are they going to be able to see their kids grow up and have kids of their own? And with that I think it's time to meet our founding family. As with The Whittaker Saga I will write the post in a blog and post the links here. Link: Meet the Creek Family
Yamamoto & the Orphanage
Fall Year 2008: Introductions Yamamoto family: Masaki 64 years old Masaki was born June 1944, in the villages of Konoha, at the island of Kyushu, Japan. During the horrors of the 2nd world war. She married, and the couple immigrated to the west in the 1970’s. Today she is the unofficial leader of the Yamamoto family. She and her late husband Heizō, used you run a sushi restaurant in a nearby town. After the death of Heizō, she sold the restaurant and moved to Appaloosa. Building what is now the family residence. Most of the family fortune is now gone and she recently started working at a local restaurant, helping support the growing family. Masaki is logically good in a kitchen, after years in the restaurant business, besides that she is quite skilled both at the piano and at the canvas. She is on good terms with everyone in the family, the only one from the town she knows in Hetty Lionheart. Misaki Yamamoto painting in her granddaughter’s room Yamamoto family: Yasuhito 22 years old Yasuhito is quite the late child, born October 1985 when his mother was already 41. He is the only son of Masaki and Heizō. Yasuhito and his wife Hana met in high school, and she got pregnant just 16 years old. Giving birth to their daughter the following year. After they both finished school, they married. Yasuhito has been promoted quite quickly, now the department head in the company where he works.Yasuhito is the type who is not very good at anything but quite good at many things. His is mainly interested in his family and likes to tend the garden. Sometimes he likes to go fishing. Basically, the only interest he has had, outside the home or workplace. He can be a bit flirty if he meets a beautiful woman, luckily his wife is not very jealous. He knows some people from the town but doesn't really know any of them well. Yasuhito with his son Takumi Yamamoto family: Hana 23 years old Hana moved into her mother in laws house in 2004, with her daughter Kiyo. Just married to the father of her child, and blindly in love. Today a mother of three, with the two youngest both boys. 2 years old Takumi and two months old Tetsu. She is currently at maternity leave, but otherwise she makes her income as a member of a classical quartet. She plays most instruments, but not exceptionally well. Hana love to read, is fast and might do better as a writer than a musician. She is not the typical housewife, a bad cook and not too interested in keeping the home clean. Most people find her to be very beautiful. Yamamoto family: Kiyo Kiyo is 6 years old, born September 2002. She is very interested in painting, and she seems to have a mathematical mindset. Her best friends at school is Chantrelle Riffin and Dwight Britton, the latter living in the nearby Orphanage. No bio for the boys yet, they need to grow a bit to start their own “stories”. Ms. Scholler's Orphanage: Miss Scholler Erin Scholler has worked with children for 11 years as a teacher and pedagogue on several schools and institutions. She recently opened her own private orphanage, aimed at abused or orphaned children from all over the country. The budget is tight and the teenagers might be forced to take afterschool jobs to make the institution survive. Erin is a strong reader and good with plants. Sometimes a bit dramatic and emotional, also a little bit clumsy. Miss Scholler and her employe Mr. Butler, usually do not socialize much, besides at work. But they took a trip together to see the Historical Society and went to the movies after. It all ended with a first kiss, something she was not expecting from herself and definitely not with an employed staff member. They got interrupted by one of the children, before it got any further. Erin runs a side business selling vegetables from the garden. She will never admit to this, but right now, her favorite children is Leonard, Quiana and Valensia. Erin is 36 years old. Born Apr 1971. Ms. Scholler's Orphanage: Nicklaus Butler Erin Scholler knows Nicklaus Butler, from an institution where they both worked. He was an assistant janitor. He may not be for favorite choice as caretaker of the orphanage, but she got him for just board and lodging. She knows he runs some illegal activities on the side, but she looks the other way and welcomes the extra money it brings to the household. He sometimes seems to be kind of weird but can also seem quite friendly and nice at times. His favorite child is Dwight Britton. His only acquaintance in town is Hetty Lionheart. He is quite good with tools. Nicklaus Butler is 25 years old, born June 1983. Ms. Scholler's Orphanage: Leonard Sterling Leonard is 17 years old, born in Jun 1991. He is the oldest of the children. There is not limit to how old you can be at the orphanage, as long as you have no family. Only teenage girls can stay with their babies and has to move out when they turn 20 years old.

Her best friend is Dwight followed by Quiana. Paulette can have some mood swings and loose her head from time to time. After schoole she sometimes work at the consignment store. From top to bottom Leonard, Quiana and Paulette The younger kids, 11 years old Tyrone Solis , 8 years old Valensia Brandt, and 6 years old Dwight Britton, will be added later, when the get older. The Hansons The Hansons came to The Hamlet three years ago, after selling their nightclub in Jacksonville. They built a sports bar and a new home in the hamlet, The Family consist of 42 years old Wilhelm Hanson (2009), his 9 years younger wife Camilla, their 14 years old son Charlie and the cat Bowie. Campbell Family: Editorial note: This is a story, about free will simming, made possible with tuning in NRaas Relativity Mod. My sims will be as autonomous as possible, 99% of the time, I wont direct them to anything. Just watch what they do by themselves. Besides making the parent’s bed in the Japanese family (it is a mess when used), it will be mentioned if I did direct something. What I can and will do is build, move stuff around, and tune mods if not working as I would like, pay bills, and sell or buy items. Financially they are also on their own, if the can't pay, they loose stuff. I use NRaas Relativity, this controls the clock, making my in-game day 64% longer, giving the sims more time to solve daily tasks. Also control the skill gain, and the adjusted clock, won’t make skill gain easier. After the Move to the Hamlet my lifespan was reduced to 318 days (4 days/year). I use Consigner, Woohooer, Master Controller (MC cheats) (MC progression), Story Progression (SP Career) (SP Extra) (SP Money) (SP Population) (SP Relationships) (SP Skill), Dexter, Overwatch, Dresser, Fridge, GetDrunk, Homeopner, Onceread, Portrait Panel, Register, Saver, Selector, Shooless, Tagger, Fridge Mod and No Free Work Performance.
Around the World Legacy: Chapter 30
The Bellerose Dynasty Lis Bellerose - The Fall Formal In the aftermath of the Bellerose family splitting from the Espinoza Dynasty, Lis is left scrambling to adapt to the new reality she's been thrust into. Going from being the youngest of the generation to the sole heir of a dynasty is a big adjustment, and school is about to start up in earnest with the Copperdale Fall Formal on Saturday. Things are changing rapidly, and she'll have to adapt or be left behind. https://paxxieplayssims.blogspot.com/2026/03/lis-bellerose-fall-formal-generation-3.html
Alphabet SuperLegacy Challenge Rules
Updated for Royalty & Legacy and the Lost Legacies event. This is a legacy challenge where each generation represents a different letter, and must explore all of the game play starting with that letter: aspirations, collections, woohoo spots, reward store traits, you name it. I already have a thread for this challenge that has been updated through Crystal Creations. Since it was transferred from the old forum, it was very hard to update further. Ignore any objective related to a pack you don’t own. You can choose to skip a generation if your pack limitations leave it extremely short on content. I've removed two of the letters (Q, Y) from the challenge because they don't have much to do, even with all the packs. No cheat codes that help you move through your objectives faster. Advantages from standard game play that might "feel cheaty" subjectively are fine as long as they're not prohibited by one of the following rules. No rules about aging. No rules governing non-heirs. Just because one generation has something as an objective, doesn’t mean that other generations can’t do it for fun/convenience. Personality Traits: If you don’t have at least three traits in the assigned letter, you have to randomize the rest. No self-discovery traits starting with a different letter. Naming: Each heir's name, and that of any pets they have, must begin with their letter. Likes and Dislikes: The heir can only have the likes/dislikes assigned to their generation. Color preferences are assigned when they age up to Child. From that point forward, all the heir's outfits will reflect their color preferences. If you decorate a space for them, you must consider their color preferences. Fashion and interior design preferences are assigned when they age up to teen (if you have those packs). From that point forward, all their outfits and decorated spaces will reflect their style preferences. Lot Traits and Challenges: The heir must have all of their assigned lot challenges equipped in all of their designated residences. If the heir has three assigned lot traits or less, they also must be assigned. If the heir has four or more lot traits, they have to change up which three are in play. Aspiration Rewards: The heir must purchase all of their required rewards from the Reward Store before they can purchase any optional rewards. Consumable rewards (e.g. confident potion) can be purchased earlier, and then used later. Transitional Bonus Trait: The heir's transitional aspiration (the one that decides the bonus trait) has to be an aspiration from their generation, unless they don't one available at that age. Clubs: Some generations have designated clubs they are supposed to join. If the club does not exist in that save during that generation (either it died out or it hasn't been generated yet), ignore that objective. At the start of the challenge, the Gen 1 "founder" will be a toddler, so you will need to give them at least one parent.

The onset of winter is creeping ever closer, and for the first time since the third generation were toddlers, the entire Espinoza Dynasty is gathering under one roof for Harvestfest, hosted by the Bellerose family at Holiday Hall. But some tension seems to be brewing between Arabella and Vanessa as of late... will it sour the holiday, or will things go forward as planned? https://paxxieplayssims.blogspot.com/2026/03/lis-bellerose-harvestfest-generation-3.html I had intended to post the whole chapter in full, but unfortunately I kept running into a text error I couldn't fix.

Lis has been invited to join the ranks of the Young Nobles, a club led by Sophia Abrantes which, until now, was exclusively for those born or adopted into noble titles. This could open doors for Lis: a path into the noble court of Ondarion, if she chooses to follow it. Next week, Lis and her parents will celebrate Harvestfest alongside the rest of the Espinoza Dynasty! Full chapters leading up to this point can be found on my blog, PaxxiePlaysSims! The ballroom cafe I built for this chapter can be found on my Gallery under PaxxieLovesDinosaurs or Lilting Waltz Tea Parlor, if anybody wants it for their own noble gameplay! The first day of break, Lis started her morning by doing some chores. Arabella and Peter both had work, and she had the place to herself. May as well get the trash taken out and the house cleaned up before she decided what else to spend the day on. The plants around the cottage were starting to gray and wilt with the coming winter cold, and colorful leaves covered the path. Lis couldn't wait for fall to come to an end, and winter to set in fully. She loved the snow, and she loved the winter holidays. While she was hanging the laundry out to dry, Lis' phone rang. Sophia was calling, and wanted to know if she minded her and Amarachi coming over to hang out. Since she was almost done with chores anyway, Lis cheerfully agreed. "Hello, Lis!" Sophia was very excited to see her when she arrived, and Amarachi wasn't far behind. "Oh, your house is so lovely!" "Thank you." Lis smiled. "It's a good home." "I'll have to have you over sometime. Anyway! Amarachi and I had something to ask you." "What is it?" Lis wondered. "I'm the leader of the Young Nobles Club in Ondarion, and we've started accepting members from other Dynasties and kingdoms. Would you like to join us? You might not have a noble title, but your family holds a lot of influence. I think you already know Channing? He's joined us, representing Willow Creek." Lis blinked, surprised. "Oh! Well... what sorts of things do we do in this club?" "Practice swordsmanship and dancing primarily, but it's also a great way to build alliances. And it's just a fun way to spend time together! Sometimes we do a study group together, and our hangout is a cafe with incredible tea and pastries." "I do like swordsmanship." Lis smiled. "Okay, I'd love to join!" "Perfect! We're having a gathering tonight at the Lilting Waltz Tea Parlor, you can meet us there and we'll hang out!" The Lilting Waltz Tea Parlor was located in Newcrest's Ridgeline Drive neighborhood, and a light snow was starting to fall when the club convened. Lis had to take a moment to just take it in. She loved winter so much! After admiring the snowfall, Lis followed the group inside the cafe. Gentle music was already playing inside the cafe's beautiful ballroom, and Lis couldn't help but be breath-taken by the charming elegance of it all. Was this what Sophia was used to? Lis loved her home in Glimmerbrook, but this was an entirely different type of beauty. "I'll teach you the waltz, if you want." Channing offered, breaking Lis from her reverie. "I'd love that." Lis agreed. "Thank you." After Lis and Channing finished their waltz, Amarachi challenged Lis to a friendly duel. Lis felt a little bit silly, taking out her wooden training sword to combat Amarachi's much more professional one, but Amarachi assured her it was all in good fun. "Maybe we can take you to visit the blacksmith another day." To Amarachi's shock, Lis actually ended up winning the duel! Despite her wooden sword and minimal skill, Lis had managed to best her. It was impressive! But also a little embarrassing. Sophia and Channing applauded from where they'd been watching, and Lis helped Amarachi back to her feet. "Good duel." Amarachi told her. "I'd better not underestimate you next time." After dueling and waltzing, the group headed upstairs to the actual cafe area. Sophia made tea on one of the beautiful china trays, and they sat down and just talked. Amarachi was a big fan of Harvestfest, like Aeris. "It's a time of family unity and thankfulness. I always enjoy the time spent together. How about you, Sophia?" "Oh, Harvestfest is nice. I love all the holidays, though. It just hasn't been quite the same since Thiago got married, now holidays are spent over at the Thebe castle. It's still nice, but it's... different." As much fun as they were having, it was getting late, and they all had to get home. Lis bid her noble friends goodbye, and Amarachi promised to have her over to the Darong estate sometime soon. "I can tell we're going to be great friends, Lis. Take care!" And with that, the group all headed home. Lis got home at the same time as Arabella, and happily welcomed her home from work. "Thank you for all the work you did around the house, Lis. It looks great in here." Arabella told her. "It's no problem, not like I had anything else going on!" When they sat down for dinner, Arabella had some other news for her. "We're going to be celebrating Harvestfest with the rest of the family, this year. Our family will be hosting, but we're going to meet at a venue to share dinner and celebrate." "Oh! Is everybody coming?" Lis wondered. "Just about." Arabella confirmed. "So there'll be a lot of cooking to do the day of. I hope you'll help me with that?" "Of course, I'm glad to help." Lis agreed. "Good. I'll do some prep work tomorrow, and Peter will help too day of. So you'd better get some sleep, it'll be a busy couple days!" Lis spent the early hours of the next morning practicing her swordsmanship again, to be ready for the next club gathering. Her practice was interrupted, though, by a call from Aeris. "Hop a train and come hang out with me! I'm at Camp Gibbi Gibbi today, we can do an archery contest and go swimming, it's still warm-ish here!" "Sounds great, I'll be over soon!" Lis agreed. Lis was excited to tell Aeris about the Young Nobles Club, but to her surprise, Aeris was less than enthused. "Those royal types are all the same, Lis. Rich and snobby and out for themselves. You're better off not falling into that crowd." "Channing is noble." Lis argued. "He's not like that at all." "Channing is adopted, remember? He actually knows what it's like to live normally. Not the same thing." "Sophia and Amarachi seem really lovely, I really don't think that's the case." "Well, don't say I didn't warn you. Let's go shoot some arrows, the targets are finally open." Lis hadn't expected Aeris to be so hostile to the idea of her hanging out with the noble kids, but she brushed it off for now. Maybe she'd had a bad experience with someone else? Regardless, Lis was certain she'd come around eventually. Instead, Lis poured her attention into archery. She was getting quite good now, but so was Aeris, and their competition was quite close. Ultimately, Aeris ended up winning this time. "Good match!" Aeris grinned. "Go again?" "No thanks." Lis laughed. "My elbow is screaming. Let's go for a swim instead, it's way too cold in Glimmerbrook." The water surrounding Camp Gibbi Gibbi was chilly but still pleasant to swim in, and the clouds offered a much needed shield from the sun. Lis and Aeris spent a couple of hours playing and chatting in the water, enjoying the last bit of warm weather in Gibbi Point before winter set in. "I'm sorry I got so worked up over the nobles club thing." Aeris told Lis as they were leaving the lake. "That Duke Capp from Bellacorde came to talk to Dad a couple days ago. He wanted to buy the camp." "Whatever for?" Lis asked. "Some sort of vacation house. Dad said no, obviously, but it's insulting. He waved some vague threat over us as he was leaving. But you're right, Channing isn't like that, and it sounds like those other two girls are nice. Shouldn't have tarred them all with the same brush." "It's alright, Aeris." Lis answered. "I'm sure everything will be fine. Should we go catch some butterflies before I leave?" "Let's!" After some time searching around the lake, Lis found a flock of owl butterflies! Though most of them flew away, she just managed to catch one. She wanted to have a whole butterfly habitat eventually, but she had nice little individual terrariums for them in the meantime. After that, it was starting to get late, so Lis said goodbye to Aeris and headed back home to Glimmerbrook. Lis got home just in time for dinner, and Arabella was already talking to Peter about the plan for tomorrow. They would arrive at the venue in the morning and spend the whole day cooking, then the family would all come over in the evening. The list of dishes Arabella was firing off made Lis's head spin. How were they going to cook all that in twelve hours? But her mother seemed confident, so she would be too. She'd better head to bed early, though. It was going to be a busy Harvestfest.Around the World Legacy, Chapter 27
Lis Bellerose is entering the next phase of life: her teen years! Drama, exploration, and more await her as she takes her first steps into the world of Copperdale High School. She'll make new friends and see old ones, and maybe come across old enemies... but first, a birthday party, of course! https://paxxieplayssims.blogspot.com/2026/03/lis-bellerose-high-school-beginnings.html
