The Guts Legacy Challenge

I wanted to try to create a sims legacy challenge. Turns out, it's a bit more difficult than I expected...

Insect Legacy Challenge

Do you like learning about insects or just making sims in pretty colours? Maybe some other challenges seem stale or just not right?

Well take a look at the Insect Legacy Challenge, a ten generation legacy with a focus on colourful insects and their famous traits.

Some rules and suggestions:

Each heir should represent the insect (of course you don't have to do that but it's a fun aspect that could give you ideas)

The heirs' or their spouses' gender doesn't matter (unless stated otherwise)

Cheats can be used just not excessively (personally it makes it too easy)

You can live anywhere you'd like (unless stated otherwise)

Each generation must complete everything written in the bottom left corner. Only then can you move on to the next heir

I recommend keeping the lifespan at normal

If anyone actually tries this and wants to share their journey, you can use the #theinsectlegacy (I think no one is using that hashtag for other things)

"what could go wrong?" legacy challenge

do you like creating complex stories with complex characters? inspired by the Not So Berry legacy challenge , we’ve created this challenge to explore new stories and experiences in our games. welcome to our ten generation legacy challenge, “what could go wrong?” created by @curioustraits and @maadsimming

follow our WCGW stories @curious.whims and @maad.whims over on instagram!

challenge rules:

each generation has a suggested color for you to follow; this of course is optional but it makes it a bit more fun!

the colors of the spouses don’t matter. unless specifically stated in the rules, you can do whatever you please with them.

some generations will have relationship rules, however if none are stated, the relationships between all sims will be up to your interpretation!

unless said otherwise, money cheats can be used, but not excessively. suggestion: use freerealestate  for your first home, but no cheats afterward.

your sims may live wherever you please unless the world is specified in the rules of a generation.

every heir should complete the rules, aspiration, and career(s) of the generation unless explicitly stated otherwise.

if you do not have the packs required for certain traits, use the suggested traits options (or if the suggested traits simply just fit your ideas better, feel free!)

if you play this challenge and want to share it with us, make sure to post with #wcgwlegacy so we can see! feel free to tag us as well: @curious.whims & @maad.whims (on instagram)

generation one: new in town.

generation two: hopeless romantic.

you always loved love. from watching the prince and princess fall in love at first sight in movies, to crying about random older couples on the street. the only bad part about love is that it doesn't seem to find you… until the one person you hate proposes the idea of being in a “fake relationship,” and you would do anything to be loved… even if it happened to be fake.

you grew up with a selfish parent who taught you to act a certain way to get what you want. all you wanted was a parent, and you thought acting out was the way to get one. once you realized that's something more unrealistic than an ufo sighting you decided to run away. running away ended up being a worse choice than living with your parent, when someone took you in and got you into a messy situation...

generation six: blending in.

you always admired big friend groups and being surrounded by people. you wanted it, you needed it. but because of one simple flaw, you were kept at a distance. being an alien wasn't fun or quirky for you, it was isolating. you studied how to be human as much as you could... picking up several skills, doing weird jobs. finally, when you prepared yourself enough you took a big leap straight into business in hopes to blend into society as perfectly as you can.

HARRY'S HOUSE LEGACY CHALLENGE ( inspired by @dizzywhims )

I’m gonna do this so new legacy coming soon!!

And so, it begins... a legacy style challenge

​And so, it begins… a legacy style challenge

For TS4 created by @accomplisheddoubt (me)

The official tag for this challenge is… #And so it begins LC

And so, it begins… is a legacy style challenge that will take your family from Base Game to High School Years over several generations. That said, high school years can and will be utilized prior to the final generation just as base game can and will be used after generation one. A few generations will have a sole pack it focuses on, while others may combine two or more packs. This legacy is meant to inspire, provide structure, and most importantly, be fun. If you don’t own a specific pack, or a specific generation doesn’t interest you, change it, make the challenge work for you.

Rules & General Information

This challenge is designed to utilize every stuff, game, and expansion pack for The Sims 4 with a few exceptions.

Each generation will have specific goals and a base storyline to follow, but the rest is up to you. I suggest having ‘wants’ on and going with the flow of the game. 

Aging can be set to normal, long, customized, or even short if you’d prefer the extra challenge.

If a generation doesn’t list all 3 traits (or you use the more traits in CAS mod) you may select traits you’d prefer or randomize them.

No money cheats! Money is easy enough to acquire.

Mods are allowed and encouraged to enhance gameplay.

Unless specifically stated in a generation, the amount of children each heir has is up to you. Though you could make things more interesting by rolling 1-6 to determine the amount. Same goes for who is the selected heir. 

Each generation will start with money obtained by their parents, the exact amount is up to you and how much savings the previous generation has accumulated.

Though Cats and Dogs is not fully explored until generation 5, pets are allowed prior.

If you enjoy having an assigned color per generation, you can roll 1-17 for a randomized color or simply assign a color of your choosing per generation. Please note 17 colors are listed in anticipation of add-on generations. 

Apricot, Black, Blue, Brown, Green, Grey, Hot Pink, Lavender, Lime, Mint, Navy, Orange, Pink, Purple, Red, White, Yellow

Remember, while this legacy is meant to help explore the game and provide a set of goals to do so, it is also meant to be fun. If something doesn’t fit your style of gameplay, or your particular interests, change it.

Generation 1

       Base Game + Outdoor Retreat

You were recruited into the S.I.M.S.  just out of high school, odd-right? You’ve been relocated to the quaint town of Willow Creek with instructions to blend in and keep your career a secret.  You were planning on taking a year off before finding a career so you could travel. Oh well, you’ll just find time to balance work and travel now. How hard could that be?

Your parents kept a collection of insects in the house, how gross! And family camping trips, ew. You would never do that to your children. But there was one thing you agreed on with your parents, taking care of yourself naturally. But instead of concocting herbalism potions, you’d prefer a more mindful and financially appeasing approach.

You admired your parent’s love for the night life, but you wanted more than Windenburg had to offer. Though they definitely skewed your perception of what love is supposed to look like. The city is full of potential partners and you aim to explore all your options. Your philosophy is to get out the second things begin to get too serious. You saw how often marriage fails, and you’ve got dreams to fulfill, who has time for that unnecessary heartbreak.

[if my first pet stuff is owned, use it to decorate generation 5’s room]

Generation 5

       Cats and Dogs + My First Pet

As a child you always wanted a pet (cat or dog depending on trait), but your parent claimed it would be too much of a commitment. You resented them for always putting their career and romantic endeavors above you. A pet would never do that. So as soon as you’re of age, you move away from the city and settle down in Brindleton Bay where you open your own vet clinic. And adopt a bunch of pets. You even open your house to strays. Animals are all you need, until you finally find a person who shares your passion and respect for animals that is.

And unlike your parent, you envied the stability of a peaceful routine life. You took up gardening as a teenager and discovered it to be your passion. And while you harbor no resentment for your parents’ way of raising you, or lack thereof, you aspire to be a super parent to your future children.

Being raised in the spotlight took a toll on your sanity. As a teenager you began searching for penpals as a way to connect with someone who doesn’t know your family and the fame that follows you. You grew paranoid that no one actually cares for you as an individual but for your family’s celebrity status so you decided to move to an odd little desert town where no one knew who you were. And after the strangest welcome wagon one could imagine, you begin to discover something is not quite right in this seemingly ‘perfect’ town.

But as the years go on, you’ve begun to question your destiny. You long for warmth, sun, and freedom from the cold. The decision weighs heavily on your heart:

Will you stay loyal to your family and uphold their wintery legacy? Or will you break away and forge a new path, leaving snow behind for the warmth of tropical shores?

Path 1: Frozen Protector Backstory: For generations, your family has served as stewards of winter—a lineage entrusted with keeping the delicate balance between the icy season’s beauty and its unforgiving harshness.
