Hello! I’m Simbones! *waves*
I created this challenge as I never play with Vampires anymore and I thought it would be great idea to combine general gameplay with Vampire generations.
This challenge is based on the same style of the Not So Berry challenge, which I love and I enjoy the general layout so I wanted to create a similar style challenge but with Occults. You don’t have to stick to any colours for this Challenge, I just wanted to keep the format the same. If you haven’t already, you can check out the NSB Challenge here.
You can follow my gameplay over on my blog @simbonez

There are some notes on some Gen rules, I have tried to explain as much as I can, but ultimately how you play this challenge, story wise is up to you.
Gender is not specific to any Generation, apart from Gen 2, where you must birth a son, a ‘male heir’ this will be the first born male. This ‘heir’ however is a false heir and will not be the heir to the next generation, Gen 3.
If a sim specifies that they have a coven, you must make a coven using the GTW group feature. You may put whoever in this coven, the only rule is that they vampires.
If another occult is mentioned in a Gen, e.g A Witch, give them the Vampire occult.
Money cheats can be used, but only to purchase a Gen’s first home, this must be realistic however, especially if they have money tasks in their rules.
If their is no career specified for a gen, you can choose if they have a career or not, such as the vampire aspiration gens.
Bloodline - a direct descendant of your selected sim.
Pureblood - a ‘true’ vampire, a sim that has not been turned, but is a descendant from vampire parents.
Coven - A group of vampires using GTW Clubs. If a sim specifies that they have a coven, you must make a coven using the GTW Club feature. You may put whoever in this coven, the only rule is that they are vampires.
Let me know if you have any questions! I haven’t yet play-tested, so let me know if you find any conflicts within the story line!
