*knock, knock*
Banri: Come in.
*door opens*
Izumi: Hey there.
Sorry for this all of a sudden. I have to talk to you about something.
Banri: It’s that, isn’t it? The poll for my side-chara, I mean.
Izumi: Woah! How did you know?
Banri: I figured it was ‘bout time for that.
The project where we’re streamin’ spin-off stories of our side characters…
Has my role been decided?
Izumi: The side character you’re going to play this time as chosen by the poll is…
David from Autumn troupe’s 8th performance, “South Hill Prison”.
Banri: Huh, David… I didn’t see that one coming.
Izumi: Actually, all your roles were popular in the poll. This one only won by a slim margin.
That just goes to show how there are fans of all the roles you’ve played.
Banri: …Yeah, guess so.
Izumi: Tsuzuru-kun has started working on the script already, so let him know if you have any requests.
Alright, I’m going to head back to the lounge. Let me know anytime if you have any other questions about the project.
Banri: Sure.
…Requests, eh?
Where is the script for our 8th play…
*flips open*
Banri: …
-pause-
Banri: …
Azami: …
Banri: …
Azami: …Hey. How long are you gonna stay here?
Banri: Mm, I’m getting a change of pace.
Azami: What’re you talkin’ about?
Banri: I wanted to feel the breeze.
Azami: You’re definitely pullin’ my leg.
Banri: Haha. Alright, the truth is I was just thinkin’ about the spin-off for my role that was chosen in the survey.
Azami: It’s your turn already?
Banri: Yep.
Azami: That’s fast…
Banri: You say that, but it’ll be your turn soon.
Azami: A spin-off, huh… is that what’s givin’ you trouble?
Banri: Are you curious?
Azami: I wanna know for reference when it’s my time.
Banri: That’s not exactly it. Tsuzuru’s the one makin’ the script…
So I’m more worried about the direction.
Azami: What’re you, an honour student? That doesn’t help.
*Siiigh*.
Banri: …Say, Azami.
Azami: What?
Banri: Do you think David’s dad is alive?
Azami: …
Banri: …I’ll change my question.
Do you think David can be saved?
Azami: Um…
Banri: …
Azami: …
Banri: My bad. I asked a weird question.
Azami: …Nah, it’s fine.
Both Shaw and Ren were saved emotionally, weren’t they?
The thing is, although you might not call it a happy ending, the story ended on a redeeming note.
Startin’ with Shaw, everyone that appears in the play is a criminal of some sort…
But that sorta redemption is nice, at least in a story.
…In reality, that stuff can’t be undone.
Banri: Hm… that’s true.
*pats head*
Azami: !
Oi, don’t touch my head.
*Banri leaves*
Azami: The hell, pattin’ my head…
He treats me like a little brother.
This is a legacy challenge about the seven deadly sins. As described in Roman Catholic theology, the seven deadly sins are vices that spur other sins and further immoral behaviour. These seven sins are originally derived from the eight cardinal sins as written down by a Christian monk named Evagrius Ponticus in the 4th century. He described these sins as the ‘eight evil thoughts’: gluttony, lust, greed, anger, sloth, sadness, vainglory, and pride. In the 6th century Pope Gregorius I analyzed these eight evil thoughts and changed them into the seven deadly sins: pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth. If someone wishes to overcome these sins, then use must be made of the seven corresponding virtues: humility, charity, chastity, gratitude, temperance, patience, and diligence.
I always loved the idea of a sims 4 legacy challenge based around the seven deadly sins. I like playing with sims that are not ‘perfect’ and have their flaws because it resembles reality. There are already some legacy challenges out there based around the idea of the seven deadly sins, but in these challenges I have seen so far I missed the opportunity for each generation to learn from their sins or to better their life in a way. Since there are only seven sins, this legacy will have seven generations instead of the common ten generations. However, you can expand this legacy to ten generations by combining the idea of the eigth evil thoughts and the seven deadly sins which I will explain later in this post. In the end writing this challenge took me way longer than I expected and the post also turned out to be quite long (sorry for that ;)), but I really like how this challenge turned out and I hope you will enjoy it too.
Basic rules:
No toddler that will be the next heir is allowed to have the angelic trait but siblings of the heir are allowed to have it.
If your last gen is the 7th gen, the baby this gen will have will age up with the angelic trait when becoming a toddler. If you play up to the 10th generation, the baby of gen 9 will get the angelic trait when aging up into a toddler (this way gen 10 will have the angelic trait).
For each gen you can decide for yourself how many children the gen will have unless it is stated in the rules of the gen.
You may live wherever you please unless stated otherwise in the generation.
You are allowed to play this challenge with the lifespan you prefer (the normal or long lifespan is recommended).
Money cheats are allowed for the first gen to buy a lot or a house, try not to cheat any money during the rest of the challenge.
For every generation you must complete the aspiration and get to the top of the career unless stated otherwise.
If there is a career, aspiration or trait you can not assign to your sim because you don’t have certain DLC’s, you can choose another career, aspiration or trait you think is right for the gen that you are currently playing.
If you give this challenge a try please tag me because I would love to see it. In case you have any comments of suggestions about this challenge feel free to send me a message and I will see if I can revise some things about this challenge in the future.
Generation 1: Ira (Wrath)
As a baby you were abandoned in front of an orphanage. Without parents or a good upbringing you had to rely on your own from a very young age. With a lack of adequate regulation and supervision you soon noticed that being aggressive towards others was the best way to defend yourself in the orphanage. If there is one thing you have learned from when you were a child is that the best way to stand up for yourself often requires a literal fight. You are looking for a place to live on your own now that you have reached young adulthood. Because you can’t easily get a regular job you are forced to take a different path. You feel like the entire world is against you so you don’t see a reason to treat the world any different. At this point you are so fed up with your life that you don’t care anymore in which way you will make your money.

When you become a teen you notice that you start developing feelings for some of your classmates which result in some relationships.

You even take doing nothing to the next level by calling someone every time something has to be done. Fire? Call the firefighters. Broken electronics? Call someone to fix it.

You see your parent neglecting everything in life, even raising you! You want to make sure that this does not happen to your children and you decide to help them with everything. Seeing your children doing good at school makes you really proud and you like to let everyone know that your children are doing well. You also like when your personal life is going well and you love getting promoted in your career. You want everyone to know when you get promoted so you throw a house party every time this happens.

Generation 5: Gula (Gluttony)
When you are a child you feel like your parents put too much pressure on getting good grades in school but you don’t care about this at all. All you want is to enjoy life and to party! This results in you skipping school, hanging around with friends and going to parties. You try to be away from home as much as possible and because of that you get a job as a fast food employee as a teenager. When you are at home you can often be found in the kitchen. You really like food! To make it and to eat it. Lots of it. When it is time to finally get out of the house you decide to take a job in the Culinary career.

Generation 6: Avaritia (Greed)
Instead of food you like money. You never understood why your parent spent so much money on food when it could be used for you instead.

On your birthday of becoming an adult, your spouse wants to invite the children and ex-spouse from their previous marriage. You are reluctant but you agree to have them over. When they are at your house you start to realise what negative impact your greediness had on the lives of the other family. You decide that you want to do something back to the world so you start volunteering and donating 1000 simoleons to charity every week for the rest of your life.
Generation 7: Invidia (Envy)
As a child your parent never seems to give you the things that you want. You always get a cheaper alternative. This realisation soon results in you comparing your life with that of others. You don’t like that you have the smallest bedroom in the house or that your sibling just got a new toy because it is their birthday. Later in your life these envious thoughts go even further and result in you being jealous of others having a relationship, more money, or a higher level career than you. The last results in you often switching careers because the grass always seems greener on the other side. The only thing that can silence these thoughts in your head is painting. You always liked being creative as a kid but now you are older you realise that there are a lot of painters out there that are better than you which makes you critical about your only passion.

You thought that being an arts critic was the right job for you because it combines your passion with you being critical of everything. Seeing others enjoy creating art eventually makes you miss your dream of becoming a painter yourself. Instead of living with the envy you feel towards other artists you decide to start a career as a painter. With every promotion you notice how grateful you are that you had the opportunity to do something you like and you start to appreciate the things in life you have instead of the things you don’t have
You have the option to stop after generation seven because you have played through all of the seven deadly sins or you can play through three more generations to end up with ten generations in total. You can find the rules for the last generations in the rest of this post under the cut:
Welcome to the Disney Fairy Legacy Challenge! This challenge is inspired by the Tinkerbell movie series from Disney where each generation is based on Tinkerbell and her friends. If anyone knows me personally, they know I love Disney, so I decided to create a fun legacy challenge themed around one of my favorite series!
The sims do not have to be fairies (or dressed as them since this is sims 4 and we don’t have fairies…sadly). The legacy is just based on their special talents and personality.
Here are the basic rules:
Each heir of the generation must complete their career, aspiration, and their must-have skill(s) assigned to them (which represents their special talent from the movies such as Tinkerbell is a tinker fairy, so she must have the handiness skill).
You can live in whatever world you want unless there is one specified for a certain generation.
You do not have to name the heir after the fairy, but you can if you would like.
Keep the lifespan on normal lifespan.
Note: I gave each gen some favorite colors based on pictures of the characters. This is not nsb, so they do not have to dress in only those colors or live in a house of only those colors. They are just there to add some likes/dislikes to the personality.
You do not need to do the bonus challenge if a generation has one, but you can if you would like to!
If you stumble across this challenge and decide to try it out, feel free to share all the fun you are having with #Disneyfairylegacy

I hope you enjoyed this fun little challenge! If you did, make sure to share this with others! Thanks for playing!! :)
The premise of this challenge is that each generation is confronted with a “fatal flaw” that they either decide to overcome or revel in. The reason I wrote this challenge was because I realized that the sims I enjoyed playing most were ones with “negative” traits. I had a lot of fun writing this, so I hope at least one other person has fun playing it :)
The only generations that really require an expansion pack are gen 4: squeamish, because that particular trait comes from outdoor retreat and gen 7: lazy, because it requires you to adopt animals.
Google Doc Link
Notes:
This challenge is greatly improved by any mods that make actually traits matter, e.g. personality please, roburky’s meaningful stories.
This challenge is more story-based than game-play based, though there’s elements of both
You don’t need to complete the aspirations! They’re only meant as a guide + are also there for the sake of the aspiration trait.
You don’t need to complete the careers either if you don’t want to, unless its a gen that specifically requires it.
Feel free to go to university any generation if you feel like it suits your sim’s story/you want to.
Generation One: Mean
you didn’t grow up in the happiest or most functional of households. and so you moved out as soon as you could. now it’s just you, your dog, and your shitty job. you’re kind of an asshole, but you can’t help it – it’s a deep-seated defense mechanism from your past. other people can’t hurt you if you hurt them first, right? but as you grow older, you start to realise that, more than anything, you want the loving family you never had. if only you could find someone who could make it past your terrible social skills in order to see the big heart you have hidden underneath.
traits: mean, dog lover (base game: gloomy) + family orientated (YA)
aspiration: big happy family
career: retail + can pick another part time career as an adult on top of that (optional)
rules
start the generation as a teen on an empty lot.
drop out of high school using a mod, or just simply don’t go.
make money from the retail career + dumpster diving, fishing, collectibles, anything, just never get a proper full time job. you never finished high school, after all.
when you age up into young adult, meet and woo a sim of your choice (optional: they have the good trait.)
be mean and rude to everyone come across until you fall in love with your future spouse.
have at least three kids and become at least ‘friends’ level relationship with all of them.
Cats and Dogs: have a dog with the friendly trait, become companions with them.
Parenthood: if you want an extra challenge, age up from teenager to have the insensitive trait from negative empathy.
how a legacy blooms: a flower-based legacy challenge
hi! i make a lot of gardener sims for some reason, so i had the idea to create this legacy challenge based on the ten flowers you can find in the sims 4 base game & their real-life flower meanings. the generations are loosely arranged based on the in-game flower rarities. i wanted to make sure i included gameplay opportunities, traits, and family dynamics that i didn’t really play with a lot, so that i would find new ways to play the game while playing through this myself.
the rules, generations, mod suggestions, and required packs are under the cut because this post is so long. putting it together took me a while so i hope you enjoy reading <3
(Has this been done before? It’s probably been done before. But now I’m doing it.)
so I LOVE storytelling in the sims, and I love legacy challenges because following a single family is SO fun for me and watching townie families evolve as my family goes on is just as exciting. The one thing I’m not a huge fan of is how a lot of legacy challenges set out specific traits and storylines for players to follow, when my favorite part of the sims is figuring out sims’ personalities for themselves. SO.
I wrote my own challenge with a little less structure, just to allow players some more storytelling freedom (but still have some goals to chase). This is a NINE (9) generation challenge, based off of nine gems, all of which are collectable in base game.
Under the cut you can find rules and goals for all nine generations for the #family jewels legacy challenge!
Edited 3/16/22: Added more potential traits to certain generations!

Tending to your farm, nightly family dinners, and knowing everyone in your community. You're living the small town dream.
You and your partner are best friends! Not only best friends, but almost the same person. You have the same goals in life and help each other achieve them! Working together to grow your garden and take care of your animals is only the beginning.
Once you started having children, something you've always dreamed of, your farm only expanded from there! Everyone in the house has their own jobs; whether that be cleaning, gardening, cooking, tending to animals, etc. You make money by selling your own products and over time, you become the biggest family run farm in town!
Although you love all your children, as you get older you realize there needs to be someone to pass your land onto. You've worked so hard on it your whole life after all! Out of all of your children, there seems to be a clear choice on who it should be. You live your last days preparing this child to run the farm once you pass, and feel comfort in knowing they will continue your legacy!

Gen Two
Content Creator
Although they would never admit it, you have always been the outcast in your family.
Things that came naturally to them were always undesirable to you. You love them and they love you, but that doesn't change the obvious. When they were all getting dirty outdoors, you were in your room in your own little world.
Video gaming is your number one passion! After attempting to conform to farm life your whole childhood, your parents ended up getting you a computer as a teen and your world changed from there. Playing games, streaming, watching other gamers, making friends online- you realized for the first time ever just how big the world is beyond your small town!
Your teen life was spent staying up as late as possible and gaming until you couldn't keep your eyes open anymore. After becoming a young adult and being immersed in fantasy worlds for years, you decide to move to the city for a fresh start!
Talk about culture shock, everything was different here from where you grew up! Luckily for you, you meet your future spouse soon after moving which makes the transition a lot easier. You start your streaming/YouTube career and blow up! Your videos become so popular that you become a B-lister!
You're known as a down to earth celebrity to most, probably because of the way you grew up. In fact, most of the money you earn goes straight to your child! Your parents let you be exactly who you were despite it being very different from them, and you want to do the same thing for your child. Even if that means spoiling them rotten!

Have the Squeamish trait

Gen Three
Disillusioned Dreamer
You can achieve anything you want to- right?
Growing up being an only child, you were the apple of your parent's eyes. Okay maybe that's an understatement. You got everything you wanted growing up. You wanted a pet? They got two for you. You wanted to travel? They brought you anywhere in the world. You decided you wanted to be a musician? They bought you the most expensive instruments to choose from. In fact, that's exactly what happened!
Your parent was famous for their passion, so why can't it be the same for you? You fell in love with making music and, more importantly, the idea of being famous. One day you will go on a world tour and be the most famous musician in the world!!
Fast forward to your adult life: you're living in a place payed for by your parents, you spend a lot of time at bars and parties, and (worst of all) you're not famous for your music. Why are all your dreams not coming true? You spend many nights performing on the street, at cafes, at bars, or anywhere really.
The only good thing to come out of these performances was meeting your spouse. After a long defeating night of playing music to strangers who couldn't care less, you meet the one person who took the time to listen and appreciate your music! Someone finally understanding your musical genius? It felt like love at first sight
Your parents ended up buying you a music store for you to run once they realized your music career was most likely not taking off (of course they didn't say that part to you). While you loved owning your own business centered around music, you knew it wasn't your life calling
Even though your dreams never became reality, you never stopped hoping. You constantly told your kids (and anyone who would listen) that one day you will tour the world as a musician! You'll show them one day...

Have the world famous celebrity aspiration, but do not complete it

Max mixology skill

Gen Four
Bohemian Backpacker
You've always been a 'go with the flow' type of person.
Most of your relationship with your parent growing up was them telling you how they will 'travel the world one day'. Of course they were talking about their delusions of being famous, but all you heard was 'travel'.
Every once in a while, while hanging out at your parent's music store as a kid, you'd meet someone from a part of the world you've never been to. You always had a million questions and wanted to experience it for yourself, but where should you live as an adult? The answer: everywhere!
You decide to pack everything up and see the world! From the beaches of Sulani to the snowy peak of Mt. Komerebi, you want to experience it all!
If there was a non-materialistic trait, you would have it. Material possessions only distract people from appreciating Mother Nature anyway! You (and your partner) sell photographs or collectables to get by, but the goal for you is never to make a lot of money.
In true free spirit fashion, you never get married. I mean who needs a piece of paper to prove how much you love someone? You still have kid(s) and have a beautiful and healthy relationship. That's all that matters.
You spend your life embracing different cultures and appreciating the beauty of the world.

Gen Five
Remote Writer
If there was a contest for most introverted person in the world, you wouldn't even enter because that sounds too social for you.
The only company you need is your own mind. Besides, when you grow up moving around as much as you did, it's hard to make connections with other people. Luckily, that's just how you like it. Your parent was obsessed with seeing the world, but you're obsessed with creating your own worlds. You've wanted to be a writer for as long as you could remember.
You acted like an adult even as a child. Your parent's view of the world was definitely not shared by you. In fact, you wasted no time in moving out on your own. Finally it was time to live life your way- the right way.
The only thing you didn't expect or plan was meeting your partner. Most of your relationship was formed online instead of in person, Which is how you preferred it. Once you did meet in person though, you moved in together and eloped as soon as possible! I guess when you know, you know.
You spend most of your time writing in your office and having your daily routine that you don't change. Even writing best selling novels and having kids doesn't make you stray from your norm. That is until you have a new idea for your next book...
You become obsessed with the paranormal! You even decide to move your family into a secluded haunted house in order to write this book. Which is without a doubt the most spontaneous thing you've ever done in your life, maybe even more than getting married so quickly.
You end up leaving behind a legacy of books you wrote and the family you had... but most importantly the books.

Gen Six
Spooky Soulmates
You've always been a believer in fate.
Growing up was hard in a family like yours. Never having many social interactions and having been raised by your strange parents, you've always been a little different. Thanks to fate, you meet someone as a child who is just like you! You two always seem to click and there's times when you feel like the same person. After being best friends, you start dating as teenagers because it just felt right. To be honest, you've been in love with them your whole life!
When your parent moved your family into a haunted house, fate struck again. You couldn't believe there's this whole other part of the world out there, and at the same time it made complete sense! The only person who believed you though was your partner. Being the only person to confide in about this made your bond that much stronger (if that was even possible).
After the initial shock of learning about the paranormal, you realized there's a reason it came into your life. You're a medium.
No wonder why you've always felt so different! Your whole life now made sense and you can see how you've been pulled to this destiny. You even hone your skills enough to eventually become a paranormal investigator!
Once you and your partner get married, you buy a house of your own that is not haunted. When it comes to your career, while you're very passionate about it, you decide it's best to not bring work home with you if you can help it.
As much as your job means to you, your relationship was and always will be the center on your world. You fill your home with beautiful memories and children. Growing old together with your best friend and soulmate, you are endlessly thankful to the universe for bringing you two together.

Gen Seven
Furry Friends Furever
Animals are so much better than humans.
Your family cat growing up was your best friend! You were always a little socially awkward, but animals never judged you. You took your pet to the vet anytime they needed it, and it was there that your animal fixation grew. Adults can spend all day with animals instead of other people? Why wouldn't everyone do that??
You grew up seeing your parents have the most perfect relationship ever and thought that you should have the same thing, so you married your first ever partner just like they did. Only for you, it wasn't meant to be. After having kids with your spouse, you both realize you can't force the relationship anymore. You decide to get a divorce and split custody of the kids.
Even when it's the right thing to do, divorce is hard, so you decide to focus on what makes you happy- your business. Your vet office ends up thriving after throwing yourself into your work. No more forcing things that aren't meant to be! You end up never getting remarried or having another long term relationship again. Some people (like your parents) would feel empty without a partner to share their life with, but you spend your life with your animals and children. You wouldn't have it any other way.
Goals:
Complete Friend of the Animals aspiration

Gen Eight
Healing Heart
You try to spread peace everywhere you go.
Watching your parents go through a divorce when you were a kid really changed you. You didn't understand why they couldn't just get along or why they got together in the first place if they ended up being so different? You hated when people fought and that's all you saw from them growing up. You make it your mission in life to spread light and joy everywhere you go because there's just not enough of it!
You work in the self-care industry teaching yoga, giving massages, doing nails, and overall trying to make people feel good. You try to always practice what you preach, living a healthy lifestyle yourself.
You tend to stay away from romantic relationships because of what happened with your parents. You love the idea of falling in love and spending your life with someone, but the hurt that could come from that just isn't worth it to you.
In a possible lapse of judgment, you have a one night stand with your best friend. It definitely wasn't planned but the result will be permanent because... you end up having a baby together! Despite this, you decide not to start dating. You're too worried it would ruin your friendship or, worse, end in you two breaking up and making your child go through the same thing you did. That's your biggest fear.
You remain best friends as you raise your child together, always living right next to each other and being very hands on parents. There's times where you find yourself wanting more, but your inner voice talks you out of it every time. Until...
One day, your child already being a teenager at this point, your best friend confesses their love for you! You've both always felt it, but neither of you acted on it until now (and when your child was conceived of course). The thing that you've lived your whole life thinking was your biggest fear, suddenly didn't seem so bad. The unthinkable happened. Your mind set changed in an instant and you didn't want to spend another second not being with your person. You feel a weight being lifted from you when you finally allow yourself to love. You didn't know happily ever after existed until you experienced it yourself, and you live the rest of your life being head over heels in love!

Gen Nine
Quirky Creations
You're a thrift store come to life.
For as long as you can remember, people have always described you as quirky. You gladly accept this label! You try and make just about everything you can from scratch. Need a new pair of socks? You knit them! Want a candle for your room? You hand dip one! Your room growing up becomes a collection of various nicknacks and your own artistic creations.
You start dating someone as a teen who you don't have a lot in common with- a result of teen rebellion maybe? Well, one thing lead to another and you end up having a baby! You tell your partner and they don't end up being as excited as you to say the least. They end your relationship and refuse to be in your child's life. Of course this isn't how you wanted things to go, but they made their decision and you make yours. You're so excited to be a parent and luckily have the help of your own parents.
As your baby gets a little older, you realize you'll need to find reliable income and live independently at some point! You always sold your creations on Plopsy, but you're too extroverted to do that forever. You decide to open a little shop where you sell your own creations as well as other vintage goods! This shop is the physical version of your personality- Quirky! From old books, to clothes, to antiques; if you can find or make it, you sell it!
As luck would have it, you meet your future spouse at your own store! Your personalities match perfectly and they even embrace your child as their own- and you do the same! Both being single parents is something that bonded you from the beginning. You get married and have even more kids together! Your big blended family ends up being your favorite creation you've ever made.

Gen Ten
Occult Obsessed
If you could choose to change your identity, what would you pick?
You discovered your life purpose the day you found a book on occults as a kid. Your parents shop was always collecting old books that you liked to go through. You loved reading but the subject of the book never stuck with you until now. Are Vampires real? Mermaids? Spell Casters and Werewolves?? At first you loved learning more about this world of fantasy, but then that fantasy became a reality.
Being a person of logic, you learn everything you can about each occult, but it wasn't enough. Once you become a young adult you decide to set out to find answers first hand. After traveling to what felt like each corner of the world, you end up meeting someone of each different occult type. You learn from them, even the interactions that aren't as friendly show you so much about their world. Each time you think you should be satisfied with the knowledge you've gathered, you only want to know more.
After your travels, you decide there's only one thing to do. Become an occult.
You pick the occult that you've grown the most obsessed with and do whatever it takes to become one yourself! Moving forward you completely immerse yourself in this occult and the community you have as a result.
