[british-literature-legacy]

The Sims 4: Survey of British Literature Legacy Challenge

Generation 1: Beowulf

Bodybuilder Aspiration

Military Career – Officer Branch

Traits: Active, Bro, Loves the Outdoors

You are Beowulf, hero and future king of the Geats. You pride yourself in your strength and valor in combat. Your fellow Bro friends regularly call upon you to join them at the gym – and often at the karaoke bar, where the sounds of your merrymaking anger your nemesis, Grendel.

Neighborhood brawl is your favorite holiday. You always participate in it and must fight people until you win at least one brawl.

You answer when your friends come calling. Any time someone asks you to join them (at a bar, gym, festival, etc.), you must say yes unless you are at work or about to go to work. When you’re at the bar with others, you always order a round of Barley Bales for your group.

Max the singing skill. While singing karaoke, make an enemy. If/when that enemy dies, you must make one of their family members your new enemy.

In your youth/young adult days, you gained a lot of your athletic skill from swimming. So, you must always have a pool of at least 1x1 tiles on your lot, no matter how little money you have.

As you progress through the military career, prominently display your military medals in your home.

Generation 2: The Nun’s Priest’s Tale from Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales

Country Caretaker Aspiration

Self-Employed as a Farmer

Traits: Self-absorbed, Animal Enthusiast, Slob

Lot trait: Simple Living

You are Chaunticleer the rooster. (Well, kind of.) A large portion of this generation is a legacy challenge with your chickens—see below. They are your primary source of income. You may also build/make/sell things for extra money, but no one in your household may have a traditional a career.

You must begin this generation with one rooster named Chaunticleer and one hen named Pertelote. Think of this requirement as a legacy challenge of the chickens’ descendants. Your goal is to always have at least one “heir” chicken that descended from the original pair.

>> If chicken incest bothers you, you may manage your coop so that you replace elder chickens with a new unrelated mate for your heir-chicken, as needed.

>> If chicken incest doesn’t upset you, you may complete this requirement simply by having your chickens maintain their numbers without ever purchasing new chickens.

Win at least one chicken and/or egg contest at the Finchwick Fair.

Befriend any foxes that frequent your lot. Rabbits are cool, but what does the fox say?

Flirt with potential suitors constantly. You must have at least six significant others before you marry or settle down with your life partner.

Generation 3: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

Motivations: Mansion Baron Aspiration

Athletic Career – Either Track

Traits: Ambitious, Self-Assured, Unflirty

You are Sir Gawain, the youngest and most honorable of King Arthur’s knights. You live your life in search of the Green Chapel, the glorious mansion where your fate awaits you. Married sims find you extremely attractive, but you steadfastly reject their advances.

Become BFFs with someone who is married. That sim’s spouse is romantically interested in you (you can cheat for this, or just flirt with them a bit initially), but whenever they ask you out or come on to you, you refuse.

Surround yourself with situations that run the risk of death. For example, keep a cow plant, piranha pond, exploding toilet, fireplace with furniture next to it, etc., on your lot.

Cheat death at least once (i.e., die and be saved). You may want to give yourself a spouse or household member with high charisma skill so that they can successfully plead; otherwise, you may choose to have a household member resurrect you, and/or add your ghost back into the household.

Green is your favorite color, and you will always live in a green-colored house. (Yes, I know the knight is the one who is *actually* green, but I thought this would be a fun addition.) Ultimately, your green house will complete the mansion baron aspiration.

If you have Realm of Magic, befriend one of the three sages to represent Morgan Le Fay.

Generation 4: Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet

Motivations: Soulmate Aspiration

Critic Career – Food Critic Branch

Traits: High-maintenance, Jealous, Romantic

You are Romeo/Juliet. In this interpretation of the story, you meet someone in high school who will change your life forever. At first, you dislike this sim, but the relationship quickly turns into passionate love instead. Luckily, a little birdie from the future warned you not to drink any poison, which inspires you to join the Food Critic career. (Because the legacy couldn’t continue if you died at age 13.)

Meet your future spouse in high school. At first you dislike each other (you do not have to go all the way to enemies; the dislike can be minor), but then almost immediately turn that dislike into love. You must get married the day that you age up from teen to young adult.

For some inexplicable reason, you are enamored with the theatre. At home, in secret, you max the acting skill even though you never actually participate in acting/drama/etc.

Because you fear accidentally ingesting poison, you feel the need to make your own beverages. One of your hobbies is making fizzy juice in your backyard. For added challenge, make the juice from plants you grow yourself. (If you don’t have Eco Lifestyle, you may choose a different food or drink related hobby.)

You and your spouse are madly in love. Throughout the course of your marriage, your goal is to woohoo in every available woohoo spot that you have installed in your game.

>> Locations include: Observatory, sauna, hot tub, bed, tent, shower, waterfall, closet, pile of leaves, sleeping pod (Get Famous), coffin, party bush, Brindleton Bay Lighthouse, rocket ship, money vault (Get Famous), dumpster, hot spring, ice cave (Snowy Escape).

Generation 5: Milton’s Paradise Lost

Leader of the Pack Aspiration

Secret Agent Career – Villain Branch

Traits: Evil, Outgoing, Insider

You are Lucifer-turned-Satan. Everyone sees you as evil, but in reality, you’re just slightly mischievous and very misunderstood. As a teen, you fall out of favor with your parents and are left alone in the world. In response, you find yourself constantly seeking belonging as leader of a notorious club.

Style yourself (clothing, house/décor, etc.), however you’d like to interpret Satan and/or Lucifer. Interpretations include Goth and/or punk, extremely beautiful, angelic, and/or sexy, or a good old-fashioned lots-of-the-color-red and/or hair/hat styles that resemble horns.

Move out of your family’s home as a teen. You may take money from your parents to build your own house, but after the house is set up, you must earn money to pay the bills yourself.

Create your own club and earn the “notorious club” trait. Club activities may be whatever you wish, but your goal is to recruit as many people as you can to join this club. Try to recruit friends of your parents into your club (just to make them mad).

Win a voodoo doll from the humor & hijinks festival, and use it at least once a week.

Any time you are socializing and scroll past the option to “dare someone to streak,” you must do it. For added challenge, you may add other mischief interactions to this list.

Generation 6: Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels

Archaeology Scholar Aspiration

Political Career – Politician Branch

Traits: Child of the Ocean, Kleptomaniac, Snob

You are Lemuel Gulliver, an adventurer and accidental diplomat who just won’t stop going on adventures (no matter how poorly they end). You build your life learning about other cultures and sharing your own, but deep down, part of your heart will always belong to the sea.

Live in Sulani, where you participate in island living activities: swimming, boating, playing with dolphins and/or mermaids, sun-tanning, drinking kava, etc.

Your primary goal is to complete the Archaeology Scholar aspiration. Use the Politician career to make money, but don’t prioritize reaching the top of that career.

To represent your voyage to Lilliput, you must have triplet toddlers at some point in your life. (You can cheat for this, adopt, or just add them to your household in CAS.) To escape from Lilliput scot-free, all three of the toddlers must reach level 3 in all of their skills.

To represent your voyage to Brobdingnag, you must adopt a very large dog at some point in your life. The dog must have at least two negative/difficult traits.

After accomplishing the archaeology scholar aspiration, you become a recluse. Retire and/or quit your job, and change your lot trait to “private dwelling.”

Generation 7: Lord Byron’s Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage

Writer Career – Author Branch

Serial Romantic Aspiration

Traits: Romantic, Noncommittal, Vegetarian

You are Lord Byron—mad, bad, and dangerous to know. Although the rest of our generations are inspired by fictional plots, you live life according to Byron’s semi-autobiographical poem. You are a creative visionary, but also an unapologetic disaster bisexual who gets into trouble a bit too often.

Reach the top of the writer career, with a preference of working from home. As a writer, attain and maintain at least 3 stars of fame if you have Get Famous.

>> Earn enough reward points to purchase the Creative Visionary trait

You are a vegetarian who takes their health very seriously. Eat primarily garden salads and harvestables in order to attain the “health nut” lifestyle as soon as possible.

Live in a home that is inspired by nineteenth-century décor. If you have the Vampires pack or Décor to the Max kit, try to use those items, especially ones you don’t normally put in your builds.

Have at least 3 children with 3 different sims. All of your partners adore you—and yet, you have no interest in a serious commitment to any of them.

Either never get married, or if you do, continue cheating with many partners of many genders. Earning the player trait through your aspiration will help with this.

Generation 8: Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein

Motivations: Nerd Brain Aspiration

Engineering Career – Mechanical Branch

Traits: Genius, Paranoid, Loner

Lot trait: Science Lair

You are Victor Frankenstein, the scientist in Mary Shelley’s novel. Many people think you’re a doctor, but you didn’t even make it through undergrad. You are so obsessed with discovering the secrets of “life itself” that all you can think about is building your Servo… until things go horribly wrong.

Meet your sole romantic partner in childhood, and remain close friends with them throughout your life. You may never live with your partner (see below), though you may have children and raise them in your own household.

Excel in high school and earn multiple scholarships to start college (attempting a robotics degree) but drop out after completing your first semester in order to build your own Servo at home.

Get engaged only to have your spouse tragically die during or immediately after your wedding—you may use a cheat for this. You will want to have children/potential new heirs before the wedding in order to make this work.

After your spouse’s tragic death, you must decide (or flip a coin): Does your Servo join your household and become your only friend, or will you blame them for your partner’s death and scorn your own creation? (Or, I mean, I guess you could freeze to death and move on to the next generation if you prefer.)

Generation 9: Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre

Master Mixologist Aspiration

Unemployed/Mixologist Career

Traits: Child of the Islands, Family Oriented, Erratic

You are Bertha Mason. (You thought I was going to say Jane Eyre, didn’t you?) You thought your spouse was great when they swept you off your feet, but it turns out this person only married you for your money. Now, you find yourself locked in the attic, plotting your escape.

Begin your young adult life in Sulani, working as a successful mixologist. You are happy on the islands where you feel at home, though you may not get married or have children at this time. Instead, you must move on to the next step before reaching the Adult life stage.

When a mysterious stranger comes around, AND/OR if the game gives you the “married for money” prompt, you get married in a rushed, whirlwind romance.

You must move away from Sulani and quit your job in order to live with your spouse, which makes you sad. In response to your sadness, your spouse locks you in their attic.

You may not leave the attic (use door locks to do this), though your spouse is allowed to come in and out. You may put appliances, a bar, etc., in the attic, but your room is not allowed to exceed a 5x5 square for living space, plus an attached 2x3 bathroom. Whenever your spouse enters your room, be mean to them and/or fight with them.

>> You have two options to escape the attic: 1) If your spouse dies on their own without cheats; 2) If at least one full room of the house catches on fire. You may build fire hazards into the home in order to accomplish this. If your home catches fire but a sim puts out the fire before it grows very big, you have not yet accomplished your task.

>> You may live your life however you wish after your escape, including a divorce if your spouse has not yet died. (Let’s give her a happy ending, OK?)

10. Virginia Woolf’s Orlando

Renaissance Sim Aspiration

3 different careers culminating in Style Influencer

Traits: Gloomy, Foodie, Art Lover

You are Orlando, the titular character of literature’s queerest time travel story. You have aristocratic tastes and enjoy relaxation, fine food and the arts, and being pampered. Each new week of your life is more and more different from the one before.

Every Sunday, start the new week by changing your clothing. (At least change whichever outfit you will wear the most that week. This is usually the “everyday” category.) Swap between masculine, feminine, and/or combinations of both freely. Gender is a social construct.

When you swap your outfits, also change at least one “like” from each of the like/dislike categories. Then, change your décor and hobbies for that week accordingly.

In this challenge, you are happily polyamorous; you can cheat to add the Player trait if you like. When you choose to settle down, both your spouse and your significant other live with you.

When you get to set trends as a Style Influencer, select historical/period pieces. The costumes from Get Famous are especially encouraged.

Frequent the spa if you have Spa Day; and/or dine at experimental restaurants and/or the hottest spot in town; and/or take at least one expensive vacation per life stage.

The Different Usages Of -는데

USAGES:

> presenting background circumstances (middle of the sentence)

> presenting background circumstances (end of the sentence)

> requesting information

> requesting agreement or compliance

> expressing disagreement, corrections or discontent

> expressing counter-expectation or exclamation

MOST COMMON USAGE :

presenting background circumstances (middle of the sentence)

when it is used in the middle of a sentence to connect 2 clauses, -는데 provides some background information for the message to be delivered in the next clause/sentence.

[ Clause A ]는데 [ Clause B ]

[ Background ]는데 [ Message ]

Example:

오늘은 바쁜데 내일 만나도 괜찮을까?

I’m busy today, can we meet tomorrow?

In the first clause, the speaker says that they are busy today and this provides the background for the message (that they would like to meet tomorrow instead). There are many reasons why speakers need to provide background information. In the example above, it explains why meeting today would be inconvenient.

presenting background circumstances (end of the sentence)

when using -는데(요) at the end of a sentence, It's also used to introduce the background for a new topic for the listener. In this case, the second clause/sentence is left out. It's used often in news reports.

More examples:

모니터 캐이블 사러 왔는데요.

I’ve come here to buy a monitor cable.

부탁 하나 있는데요.

I have a favour to ask.

requesting information

는데(요) is often used to request more information from the listener. In this instance, the speaker is saying they need to know the situation and are trying to elicit elaboration, clarification or confirmation from the listener.

Example:

일본 언제 가는데?

When are you leaving for Japan?

Here the speaker is requesting more details about the background circumstances than what was provided. -는데 signals the listener to elaborate more on the situation.

This instance of 는데 is sometimes used sarcastically or to ‘play cool’.

Example:

뭔데?

What’s that?

Here the speaker shows disinterest and requests the listener to provide a suitable answer. It can sometimes be like saying ‘Tell me why I should care’.

requesting agreement or compliance

는데(요) is sometimes used to request agreement from the listener. In this instance, the speaker is prompting the listener to see their situation.

Example:

날씨가 추운데.

The weather's pretty cold, isn’t it?

Here the speaker is making an observational statement about the weather conditions. 는데 signals the listener to see the speaker’s situation and be in agreement about it.

Similar to how requesting agreements prompts the listener to see another person's situation, 는데(요) can be used to request compliance.

Examples:

나 지금 공부하고 있는데.

I’m studying right now.

Here the speaker is making an indirect request from the listener. By asking them to read between the lines, the listener can infer which action to take. For example, if someone else is playing loud music, the person who's studying may say the sentence above.

expressing disagreement, corrections or discontent

는데(요) is sometimes used to express disagreement with the listener. In this instance, the speaker is saying that’s not the situation and are expressing their views on the matter. This ending makes the sentence a bit softer, when expressing "negative" feelings or simply correcting what someone else said.

Example:

사투리가 아닌데요.

It’s not a dialect.

Here the speaker is expressing disagreement over some information. 는데 expresses the state of affairs as being different from the listener’s perspective. This prompts the listener to take whatever corrective measures necessary.

Note that speakers are sometimes confrontational or show their discontent when saying that’s not the situation.

Examples:

철수 is confronting 영희

A: Do you have anything to apologise for?

B: 없는데.

B: No (and why would I).

나도 쿠키 좋아하는데.

I too like cookies (how come I didn’t get one?)!

expressing counter-expectation or exclamation

는데(요) is sometimes used to express surprise or exclamation. In this instance, the speaker is saying that’s not the situation I was expecting and is expressing their sudden realisation.

Example:

와, 우리 딸 노래 잘한데.

Wow, our daughter really sings well.

Here the speaker states their surprise realisation over the discovery. -는데 expresses the state of affairs as being different from what they were expecting.

More Random Examples Below:

USAGE 1: (more examples)

한국사람인데 중국에서 살고 있어요.

I’m Korean and living in China (if you can’t tell, I’m Korean).

구두를 사려고 하는데 추천 좀 해주세요.

I’d like to buy shoes, so please recommend some.

8시가 됐는데 학교 빨리 가.

It’s 8 o’clock. Get to school.

더운데 에어콘 켜볼까?

It’s hot; should we turn on the aircon?

USAGE 2:

제가 좋은 식당을 아는데요. 같이 갈래요?

I know a good restaurant. How about going together?

USAGE 3: (extra notes)

This instance of 는데 is sometimes used sarcastically or to ‘play cool’.

Example:

뭔데?

What’s that?

Here the speaker shows disinterest and requests the listener to provide a suitable answer. It can sometimes be like saying ‘Tell me why I should care’.

USAGE 5:

오늘 날씨가 별로 안 추워요.

(It's not really cold today)

- 그래요. 저는 추운데요.

(Well, I feel cold.)

여자 친구가 정말 예쁜데요.

Your girlfriend is really pretty!

⚠️I used this website to help me make this post: ultimatekorean. Also this may not be "all" usages but these are the ones I could find and are used frequently.

[honeyhangukeo]

language things ive noticed since coming to korea:

you don’t need to say ‘thank you’ as much as in english. this is probably because im british, so im used to saying ‘thanks’ several times when being served in a shop or restaurant. in korean the language is very reciprocity/exchange-based. if you say 감사합니다 when someone hasnt really done something for you, its quite redundant to say it. e.g. just use it when a server has given you everything, not after they hand you each dish. you dont need to say it when you are handing over your payment because they are not doing something for you, if that makes sense. use it sparingly, when you’re actually receiving an item or gesture towards yourself.

use 주세요 when done ordering things, not after every item. i knew this already, but i did it by accident when ordering drinks and the waitress started to walk away after i ordered the first drink because i said 주세요. you should list everything you want using conjunctions like -랑 or 그리고 between items, then finish off with 주세요 to complete the request.

using the right honorific is not only polite, but pretty necessary for understanding. im a teacher and my students will deadass not understand me if i use an overly polite conjugation to them, then when i change my sentence they suddenly respond. i dont even say 네 to them, i just use 응 and 마자. apart from greeting them with 안녕하세요 and sometimes asking them nicely to sit down/be quiet, its always informal.

the correct way of using yes and no is hard to get your brain around sometimes. in english someone will say ‘do you mind it i sit here?’ and we can say ‘yeah sure go ahead.’ even though ‘yeah’ is incorrect, and we should be saying ‘no i dont mind’! in korean you cannot use yes and no like this. it has to be the correct one in response to the question.

there is a way of bowing that differs between men and women. women place left hand over right, men vice versa. its not super strict and ive only bowed briefly when meeting coworkers for the first time, but it is a thing.

if someone says your good at korean, humbly deny it, say no i need to study more etc.

it is actually fun and feels great to converse in korean. I can always throw in an english word with a korean accent/gesture and be understood if im not sure what the word is. ive only been working here a few weeks and i already find that my brain no longer translates every word and i can come up with sentences and understand people much better then before, ive picked up plenty of vocab, and yet i have done 0 actual study since arriving.

GLOSS - Global Language Online Support System

This online resource has tons of resources for lots of different languages, and it is totally free!

There are lots of lessons catered to different levels which tailor vocab practice as well as listening and reading comprehension. I would say that the vocabulary and scenarios are generally more geared up towards security/defence and diplomacy, so if you are studying international relations or something geared towards the international sphere, this may be particularly interesting!

Then you can select different types of activities, which you can download onto your computer as MP3s and PDFs. The activities are categorised based on what skill they train. There are reading and vocab activities that help build up knowledge. Although the topics are pretty specific, they are really useful for getting vocab practice in areas that you are not so familiar with!

The activities are diverse and varied, with explanations for answers that were not correct!

There is also a glossary for all the new words, which has an audio file to listen to the pronunciation by a native speaker. This is particularly useful for self study, especially when contact with native speakers is less frequent.

All in all I really rate the website, the resources are a really great compliment to language studies, and although they are kind of ‘old school’ in their approach, they seem really effective!

Create A Town Challenge

This is inspired by the Sims 2 Build a City Challenge.

Getting Started:

Starting in Newcrest or any world that has been emptied, you will roll to see how many households you start with between 1 and 5. These households may contain more than one sim but must have only YA through elder sims; that means no babies, toddlers, children or teens.

The first sim you make will be your ‘Mayor’ and they will need to be in the Political career under the Politician branch. Other households may have whatever job you want, see 'Unlocking with Jobs’ for more info.

You may not use the freerealestate cheat to move sims in. Build them a home with whatever money they come with. Rotate between households however often you want so you can play as many careers as you can.

NEW Masterlist

안녕하세요 여러분! Hi everyone! I reorganized my masterlist so that it’s a little easier to navigate my lessons! The only change I made is that instead of organizing my lessons by numbered levels, I’m organizing them into levels based on how advanced they are. The numbered levels contained a smaller number of lessons in them, which was nice since it looked less overwhelming, but I think this new list organizes the lessons less arbitrarily. Also, I think it would be good if you’re new to my blog are unsure of where to start!

Also, don’t worry so much about the order of the lessons within each level. If any grammar structure has “prerequisites,” I’ll probably mention what you need to know in that given lesson if that makes sense. Just browse the list and see what you’re curious about!

All of the lessons that I have already posted will keep the level numbers in their titles (it would take me a while to change every single one of them!), but you can just ignore those. My future lessons, however, will be labeled with the proper difficulty level. I hope this new list is a more helpful way of navigating my blog! 

As always, feel free to message me with any messages you may have about any of these lessons!! Happy studying! 화이팅!

[a-pop-of-korean]

Hi sometimes I see verbs end with 고 but from the subtitles, I don't see they have any relation to "and" so what does this 고 mean?

Hi! Ending a sentence with -고(요) can mean a few different things...

1. "And"

As you mentioned, adding -고(요) to the end of a sentence can give it the nuance of "and." For example:

오늘은 공부를 할 거예요. 책도 읽고요. = I'm going to study today. And read a book. / I'm going to study today, and also read a book.

2. Expressing Intention: -(으)려고(요)

-(으)려고(요) comes is a shortened form of -(으)려고 하다, which is used to express your intention to do something. You will often just hear the sentence ended with -(으)려고(요), so that's another instance where -고 might end up at the end of a sentence. For example:

A: 왜 요리하고 있어요? = Why are you cooking?

B: 밥 먹으려고 해요. / 밥 먹으려고요. = In order to eat. / I intend to eat.

3. Quoting: -(이)라고(요) / -(ㄴ/는)다고(요)

Sometimes, you might hear a sentence ending in -고(요) because someone is being quoted. -(이)라고 / -(ㄴ/는)다고 can also end in 하다, but are sometimes shortened. For example:

A: 뭐라고 했어요? / 뭐라고요? = What did you say?

B: 자고 싶다고 했어요. / 자고 싶다고요. = I said I want to sleep.

4. -더라고(요)

-더라고(요) is a sentence ending used to communicate something about your past experience. It usually communicates a sense of surprise as a result of what you experienced as well. For example:

캘리포니아에 가 봤는데 날씨가 엄청나게 좋더라고요. = I went to California, and the weather was really nice.

BTS 콘서트 티켓을 찾았는데 되게 비싸더라고요. = I was looking for BTS tickets, and I saw that they were really expensive. / I was looking for BTS tickets, and I realized that they’re really expensive. 

So those are some ways in which -고(요) can be used to end a sentence! This was just a brief overview of a few different sentence endings, so check out my full-length lessons on all of these below! Thanks for the great question! 화이팅!
