"what Could Go Wrong?" Legacy Challenge

"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.

after hearing the story of your parents "romcom romance" you made up your mind to never fall in love or have a family. besides the strong dislike for affection, you did love attention. you had many trophies and medals lining up your shelves in your bedroom from every theater performance you had as a child. you always needed to have the center of the spotlight… you even knew how to keep your spotlight bright, while diming your coworkers’ who ended up getting you pregnant.

generation four: two sides of a coin.

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.

you lived in the city all your life and lived off of your parent(s) affection and attention; some would say you were spoiled, but if spoiled means loved, you’re grateful. because of all the opportunities you had, it was easy to join the entertainer career and play every instrument you wanted (and even sing).
