Have been working on a little (huge) Fallout Shelter for 16 Founders. They're all bisexual and it has been extremely chaotic even just as I build and use them to playtest!
I am extrmely excited to finish building it, all four levels. It will include basically every hobby/skill/fun thing in game.
Four level barrel green house, Arcade, Laboratory, Bowling Alley, Pottery Studio, 2 Mess Halls, a theater, 16 individual bedroom/bathroom suites, a pond, a school for teens, one for children + many other things!!!!
I'm about halfway through this build!
Uses some CC but I'll probably still upload it to the gallery when I finally finish!
This ended up being only 5 generations long because... there's only so much you can accomplish exclusively underground... but I left it open ended in case anyone has any ideas! If you take on this challenge please use #VaultTecChallenge so I can see!
EDIT: Ok... so a lot of people like this idea! So, I expanded it. Full 10 Gen version here. 👽
Relevant Mods, CC and Downloads below the cut!
-MODS-
You need some kind of homeschool mod. The one I found was:
Better Schools: Online Schooling by KawaiiStacie
A mod that allows your children to attend school via computer.
-BUILDS-
If you don't want to build your own vault, there are some vaults on the gallery that could easily be gently modified for this challenge. I looked up some builds, but I'm sure there are many more out there. If you build a vault and upload it to the gallery, tag it with #VaultTecChallenge so others doing the challenge can find it!
>> Vault 148 by ChillyAcademic - This is by far the most detailed and realistic vault I have found on the gallery thus far.
>> Fallout Shelter 14A by Hero_E92 - A really good-sized vault that probably doesn't need a ton of adjustment.
>> Bunker by Mariedcause - A really great build that could work for this challenge very quickly.
>> User RistoTCT has a set of modular vault rooms built along with a base lot to attach them to. Check their gallery to see them all.
>> Fallout Bunker by erinmeakin - This is a large vault that would likely need some adjustment, but many facilities are already done for you.
-CC-
There is a TON of Fallout cc out there to make your gameplay more true to the source material. I will try to list a lot here just to get you started. 👽

This is a Sims 4 Legacy Challenge inspired by the four main characters of HBO's Sex and the City! Follow four generations full of friendship, drama, love and cosmos. Each gen embodies one of the girls, facing their own unique challenges through their stories!

You can play in any lifespan that you want.

"Sexy is the thing I try to get them to see me as after I win them with my personality."
You don't need love to complete you because your ambition is enough. You're all about climbing the corporate ladder. Friendship keeps you grounded, but romance? That can wait. But when you finally have a family, balancing work and home life is a struggle, but you've always liked a challenge.

"I love you, but I love me more."

Hello! I'm back with another addon. This one is little different from my previous ones since it's a Base Game addon, meaning you don't need to own any packs to use it!
This addon focuses on completing the dining table and sofa collections, increasing the versatility of various wall decorations and adding more flexible shower options. I may make more Base Game addons in the future!
Including various separated artworks, there's just over 100 items included in this addon, making it my largest addon ever!
Unlike previous addons, this one is completely Base Game Compatible. You can easily find the items in buy mode by searching for "Base Game Addon" using the in-game search function.
Merged package and separated zip versions are available. Be sure to download only one option.
Downloads: Patreon (free)
Use my Creator Code: IllogicalSims on the EA App to support me!
I'll earn a 5% commission on purchases #EAPartner
Install
To install, place the .package files into your Mods folder found, by default, in My Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods. Alternatively, you can place the individual .package files from the separated ZIP into it’s own folder within the Mods folder to keep things tidy.
Add 14 new social interactions to the game to make kids’ lives more dynamic and engaging. Children can now talk about funny or deeply important (at least to them) topics — from arguing over nothing and inventing a secret language to telling scary legends or discussing the monster under the bed. They can also ask to get a pet or build a treehouse. These two specific interactions trigger not only a moodlet but also a custom notification that reflects the adult’s reaction — whether they agree or skillfully dodge the topic.
Currently on Generation 45 of my legacy... technically generation 12 of the Iyer Legacy... it's been a while, Tumblr. I play when I can and I love this game! I just haven't been posting. The Iyer legacy lives on for anyone who cares :) Some Suzanna spam.
IYER LEGACY UPDATE:
This family has a different name now and is technically on generation 12 of the Iyer legacy as Aurora married Suzanna's great-grandmother, Priya the generation 41 heir of the legacy I started when i thought I lost the Iyers years ago. I recovered them from a broken computer using a seperate harddrive and monitor, exported the family and moved them into this family's save file. Teddy and the rest of the family lived out their lives in a seperate home and I married Aurora into the family to combine the saves. Now, it's been a bit. Suzanna is the heir to both and my current save, she's married to Taku Akiyama from the Snowy Escape pack. At generation 26 of the (what I call) "Random Legacy" I started the "Alphabet Legacy" so Suzanna is "Gen S" and her kids are "Gen T". She rolled to have 3 pregnancies, had a set of twins at the end and her littlest nooboo, Twyla, will be the next heir. I just let last names change with marriages and constantly randomizing everything about who my sims are and what they do sans hair/clothes/makeup/etc. The last photo in this set is Suzanna walking by the digital photo thingy from the Moschino pack which is my favorite thing in this game for legacies. I have photos (photoshoots every generation) of every heir from the Random legacy, sadly not from the Iyer's until Aurora. Aurora married Priya and in that digital photo frame is Aurora and her wife, Priya. Suzanna's great-grandma's. The legacy lives on.
It's fun, I love this family, it's been fun playing without posting, I miss this community a lot. I miss updating the family tree, maybe one day again I will but for now, here's Suzanna's life so far.
:) <3
I’m very sad to report that Sims 3 and 4 creator CmarNYC passed away in October 2023. For 15 years, Simmers benefited from Cmar’s long-honed computing skills as she created much-loved modders’ and players’ tools, including the Sims 3 and 4 MorphMakers and Skininators, the TS4 SimRipper, the Sims 3 XCAS core mod, and many CAS sliders. She was also a contributor to S4PE, which likely was used by creators you rely on. Without Cmar’s work, the Sims franchise would have had a much less rich array of mods and custom content. She will be greatly missed.
As well as Sims, Cmar loved cats, and donations are suggested to the ASPCA, the TinyKittens Society, or an animal-related charity near you.
Oh... where to start... the Iyer Family was recovered, and I have been playing the game for a couple of months since... so many photos and stories have been had since the legacy was resurfaced--and then combined with the legacy I have been playing for years... lucky I was able to recover the Iyer's as a whole.
At this point in my game, I am over a generation ahead of where I last left this family. I may post more, I definitely don't want their little sim lives to be forgotten and this blog holds their ancestors histories still!
Maybe I'll start posting again from my archives :)
There has been this amazing cc by @sparrowcc which basically adds a bit of sorting to messy categories like Tattoos, skin details and earrings + piercings.
Since the original creator hasn’t been active in a long time and the cc needs an update to support body scars I decided to make my own version of it.
━━━━━━ ・❪ ☾ ❫ ・ ━━━━━━
💜 How does it work?
This CC creates basically an empty CAS item with the whole purpose to mark when a new category starts. This can be useful if you have a lot of skin details for example and don’t know which ones work together as EA has not seperated the parts (e.g. forehead crease, freckles) into separate categories. This CC is not meant to be applied to a Sim and has no texture or model.
