Not So Berry 2 - Gen 6

I fell in love with Lil Simsie’s Not So Berry -challenge back when it first came out. Years have passed since, and we have tons of new content to delve into. Several people have come up with their own versions of the challenge, but none of them resonated with me like the original did. That is why I took matters into my own hands, and decided to make one just for me - and everyone who feels the same way as I do! I miss the aspect of berry color -coded personality traits, looks, and homes, as well as the option to explore the less known aspects about the game. Parts of Lil Simsie’s challenge changed the way I played my game forever, and I’m hoping to spread the same joy of discovery and challenge as I felt back then!

Basic rules:

The challenges are created with the assumption that the player owns all expansion packs that were released before 17th of November 2020. If you are missing one or two, however, improvisation is perfectly fine. The important thing is to stick to the berry colors, as that is the basis of this challenge. For example, if you are missing a required personality trait in your game, you may replace it with a new one, as long as the color corresponds with the assigned berry! Similarly, if you are missing a feature such as a required location, you can think of something that hits close to home. The game is yours, so what you will do with it is always going to be up to you in the end.

The game must start with a single human Sim. Personality traits and aspiration aside, however you choose to create your Sim is up to you.

The lifespan must be kept on normal, but you may use items from the rewards store.

Moneycheat can be used to build a suitable home for each generation. Once the home is finished, funds must be reduced to 1500 simoleons.

Benefits earned over other DLC’s, such as Parenthood, are allowed.

The challenge will continue for 5 generations, but there will be 10 options to choose from. That is so if you happen to be missing an important pack, you may choose another to replace it. Many people burn out after five generations, but if you choose to play longer and/or own all expansions, you may continue as long as you wish. No one is stopping you! :)

Plum Generation

Color: Purple

Aspiration: Reneissance Sim

Traits:  Paranoid - Genius  - Bookworm

Career: Scientist

Growing up in a green, eco-friendly environment gifted you with an interest in science. It all started with taking a closer look at plants, but as you grew up, your interests grew more and more bizarre. What are the limits of science? What can you achieve? What about travelling to outer space? Suddenly anything earthly turns boring to you, and you begin craving for more exotic experiences. As you find out about life in outer space, you realize what you have always wanted: a spouse and a scientific specimen all at once. You must marry an alien, and find out what happens if you breed with one! 

Goals:

- Marry an alien and have at least one (half-)alien child

- Reach the top of the science career

- Completel reneissance Sim aspiration

- Max rocket science skill

- Max logic skill

Disclaimer: I am currently playing through the challenges myself to play test it. Some might be too tough or too easy to complete, so all feedback is encouraged and appreciated.

Blackberry Generation

Color: Dark blue

Aspiration: Location - Beach life

Traits: Gloomy - Child of the ocean - Loves outdoors

Career: Conservation career

You grew up without feeling the love of one of your parents. Without much supervision, you found solace in wandering about and fishing - indeed, as you made friends with one. The fish in your aquarium was your only friend as a child, the only one you could confide to when your parent was being mean to you.  As you grew up, you heard the call of the ocean, and moved to an island paradise, Sulani, where you could be surrounded by it. Fascinated by the new culture, you were quick to discover that mermen and mermaids were truly real. What a perfect combination for a spouse, half fish, half human! You fall in love, get married, and start a family. However, one child is not your spouse’s. Perhaps it was a one night stand. Perhaps you chose to adopt. You are human after all. You grow to care about Sulani a lot. Conserving the island becomes a life long goal for you, and you will not rest until you can see it in its former glory. 

Goals:

- Clean Sulani of all pollution and trash

- Complete the Beach life -aspiration 

- Reach the top of your career as a marine biologist

- Max fitness skill

- Max dancing skill

- Marry a merman or a mermaid

- Have as many children as you’d wish, but one must be human

- Finish the seashell collection

Orange Generation

Color: Orange

Aspiration: Athletic - Extreme sports enthusiast

Traits: Glutton - Adventurous - Hates children

You grew up surrounded by a big family and a perfectionist parent’s strict guidance. Your adventurous spirit makes it hard for you to continue filling the emptiness inside of you with food, and so you decide to enroll for University to escape from it all. However, studying is not what you have in mind. Your grades can’t compete with the secret society that you find - and in which you find your future spouse and the parent of your child - which you don’t particularly like. After school quiet life is not for you. You decide to make it a goal for you to reach the summit of Mt. Komorebi! However, something has to make up for all the lost calories, and you discover that juice and mixology suits you. Your love for food and juice makes it easy for you to choose culinary as your career, and to be great at it.

- Join the secret society in University

- Complete the Extreme sports enthusiast aspiration

- Max culinary career

Traits: Unflirty, Cat lover, Neat

Career: Any part time job, odd jobs

You are a romantic and a daydreamer, but hopelessly unlucky in love! You simply cannot find it in you to approach others in a romantic manner, so you spend your days daydreaming.

After marriage your dream life seems to be so close, and you and your spouse are blessed with a child! Unfortunately, soon after your spouse divorces you. Is it due to your unflirty nature? Were they having an affair? Have they found a cult to join? You may never know.  However, as years go by, perhaps you will be able to make amends and stay as friends.

- Complete the aspiration

- Date at least two people before the sim you will marry
