Henlooo, so the family dynamics challenge is originally by Pastellapixels and standingsimmer and all the credit goes to them! However I just changed it here and there because it's been so long since the challenge was updated and there are a few new additions to the game, career and aspiration wise. if you guys have any suggestions, or if you wanna correct me on some stuff please do let me know!
General Rules
Begin with a single sim
No cheats or mods that serve to enhance gameplay over other simmers (MC Command Center is permitted for baby gender/number control and risky woohoo only)
May use “freerealestate on” when starting the first generation ONLY
Custom saves are allowed, and encouraged, to add an infusion of new gameplay opportunities
Each career and aspiration must be completed unless expressly stated otherwise (if a career branch is not specified, then the choice is completely up to you!)
Have fun! Don’t let the rules of this challenge confine you and inhibit your creativity. Unless the rules explicitly direct you, we encourage you to make the gameplay your own
Generation One: “White picket fence”
From the time that you strike out on your own as a young adult, you dream of cultivating loving familial relationships as rich and unique as the dishes you love to create. You marry younger than some of your friends, raise a bundle of children, and enjoy gardening and entertaining in your spare time. Yet, you still devote a portion of your life to your hidden dream of becoming a master chef.
Traits: Outgoing, Foodie, Family-Oriented
Aspiration: Successful Lineage
Career: Culinary (Master Chef branch)*
Rules:
Complete at least five (5) gold-level dinner parties
Master cooking skill and gourmet cooking skill
Marry as a YA and stay happily married until “death do us part”

Maintain a garden and take up canning as a hobby
Simple living should always be on
Complete at least ¾ levels of aspiration
*Upon completing level 5 of the Culinary career, you may also choose to leave the career and open a restaurant instead. (optional because we know that Dine Out suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks)
Generation Two: “Why ever leave?”
You were raised to believe that “home is where the heart is.” And because of this, you rarely venture into the outside world unless given a really good reason to do so. You choose not to leave your parents’ home to pursue your own path at the same time that a lot of others do. Video games and programming became your passion while holed up in your basement bedroom, and thankfully your career of choice doesn’t require a lot of socialization. Leftover pizza, anyone?
Traits: Lazy, Slob, Geek
Aspiration: Computer Whiz
Career: Tech Guru (eSport Gamer branch)
Rules:
Win a GeekCon competition while cosplaying
Master programming and video gaming skills
Play the guitar as a hobby (no skill requirement)
Order a pizza delivery or something on Zoomers every night of the week
Never move out of childhood home until parents have died
Generation Three: “Top of the World”
Being raised by a parent with an affinity for keeping close to home never quelled your sense of adventure and love for the outdoors when growing up. After a trip to Komorebi with a few friends during your highschool you find that there is more to the world other than your hometown and there’s more people to meet along the way. Being made a single parent at a young age only helped to build the desire within you to remain free of the clutches of a conventional job or relationship. And so, you devote your heart to reaching the peak of Komorebi and sharing to the world your process of getting there.
Traits: Cheerful, Unflirty, Adventurous
Aspiration: Extreme Sports Enthusiast
Career: Self-employed (Vlogger, with Get famous use the drone to create videos and upload them through the video station)
Rules:
Have a two-night stay at a rental in Mt. Komorebi as a teen with friends and explore the town
Become a single parent as a young adult
Master rock climbing and snowboarding skills (snowboarding is optional)
Totally optional but you can compete the simmies collection
Reach the peak of Mt. Komorebi
Get the Adrenaline seeker lifestyle
Generation Four: “Work away the pain”
Let’s be honest: you had a pretty good upbringing. Even though there were some rough patches, you know that your parent did the best they could to raise you alone. But, deep down, being alone is the very thing you fear more than anything. So, you cover it up with work. You work 10x harder than anyone else in your family probably. But deep down you still crave stability and so as a desperate attempt to fill the emptiness that drives you, you marry a close friend only to find later that your spouse hasn’t been faithful. Eventually, you break down and take things lightly with the help of your family. They teach you how to have a healthier outlet for your frustrations. Who knew flower arranging was so relaxing?
Traits: Insider, Romantic, Perfectionist
Aspiration: Academic
Career: Lawyer (Private Attorney branch)
Rules:
Master Research and Debate Skill and Charisma Skill
Earn a degree of Language and Literature from Britechester University (you can stop aging while in University)

Marry first GF/BF as a YA
Turn blind eye to spouse’s cheating
Eventually divorce spouse; never remarry
Get the workaholic lifestyle and try to lose it later in life
Generation Five: “Struggling in Los Simgeles”
You come from a broken home. Growing up, you witnessed first-hand the havoc that infidelity can bring on a family. You determine from a young age that you will pour your soul into forging close relationships with your spouse and children. The city draws you, and it is there that you decide to make your home. However, despite your best efforts as an actress later in life, tragedy claims one of your children long before their time. You wear a shroud of sadness from then on, but find that the love of your remaining child(ren) and your ability to immerse yourself into your roles might just pull you through in the end.
Traits: Gloomy, High maintenance, Vegetarian
Aspiration: Super Parent
Career: Actress
Rules:
Master acting skills
Reach level 10 acting career
Live in an apartment from YA
Have twins
Get nominated for your works (I would add winning just as an option here because we know the game is kinda dumb)
Lose one child to death
Visit child’s grave at least once per week; leave their bedroom untouched
Generation Six: “Living with a broken heart”
You lost a sibling at a very young age and witnessed your parents’ grief while still trying to process it yourself. Rather than trying to pick up the pieces, you let the sadness consume you. And at the same time you have this whole 'This bloodline ends with me' thing going on because of what you've went through. At first you have been recruited to become a secret agent, but after finding out how corrupt the system is, you decide to screw it because if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em! Am I right? Theft and criminal activity become appealing to you, and eventually you give yourself over to that lifestyle. Even though you’re more at home in your contemplative solitude, you take comfort with a woohoo buddy who eventually gets you pregnant/or you get pregnant. So now you're wanted criminal caring for a child that you have no idea how to take care of. But there’s a surprising side to you; the raging in your heart is only calmed by the time you spend painting.

Have a woohoo buddy that results in pregnancy
Completing your aspiration is not necessary
Generation Seven: “Here to make a difference”
There is only one word to describe your childhood: lonely. You knew from a young age that the parent you lived with took no pleasure in your company, and you’ve always felt that you were the “mistake” that resulted from a careless decision. As a result, you pour effort into building relationships with those who truly care about you, and even attempt to mend relationships with those who don’t. You have a core group of people who mean the world to you, and you spend as much time with them as you can. Becoming a teacher was an obvious choice, as it provides you with the tools you need to reach others. And while you’re a social creature by nature, you never turn down the opportunity to curl up with a good book.
Traits: Good, Geek, Bookworm
Aspiration: Friend of the World

Have at least two biological children and adopt at least one child
Volunteer with family at least once a week
Generation Eight: “Archaeology is my passion”
Growing up, you were constantly surrounded by family and close friends who loved you. But you desire more than just the daily interaction with your family. Exploring the jungle is your passion and so is digging up old relics. You eventually create a store where you sell the things you have collected from your journey. Even though starting up your own business means you have to live with your parents longer than most of your friends, you don’t mind because it means you’re close to the people you love. In fact, closeness and similar interests cause you to fall in love with someone who accompanies you during your trips to Selvadorada, and they don’t mind that you can’t yet afford a place of your own. In your “spare time” (hah!), you enjoy photographing places near and far, searching for that perfect shot. Between trying to run a successful shop and your photography hobby, you’re not able to spend as much time with your children as you like. But that’s okay; you’re out there living your dreams.
Traits: Cheerful, Self-Assured, Cat Lover OR Dog Lover (player chooses)
Aspiration: Archaeology Scholar

Live with parents until they die while trying to get retail store off the ground
Have a child as a YA with a Selvadoradian local
Marry the father/mother of their child once parents die
Master archaeology skill, and photography skills
Must take at least one photo in every world
Generation Nine: “Business-minded and musically-inclined”
Your parents worked hard for every penny that they earned, but you were just left feeling like they didn’t care about you as much as the expensive relics in their shop. Your grandparents are your closest friends while they’re still alive. After all, they practically raised you. As a young adult, you desire the family you feel you never had and start a family quickly…only to find out that you’re married to someone you don’t love as much as you should. You have a “responsible” 9-5 interior decorator job, but you also possess real musical talent. Even though you would never consider leaving your job, investing in your music is something you do quite regularly. You eventually remarry after finding real love, and enjoy the rest of your life mediating a mixed family. Will you find true happiness amidst the wealth and your demanding job?
Traits: Creative, Ambitious, Clumsy
Aspiration: Musical Genius
Career: Interior Designer

Later remarry and have at least one child (think “Yours, Mine & Ours”)
Master violin and piano skills
Achieve level 5 of either the singing or guitar skill
Hire and keep a butler
Eat out at a restaurant at least once per week
Generation Ten: “To the stars”
Objectively speaking, your life is great. You never really wanted for anything as a child. The overactive imagination that you possess lends itself perfectly to your love of space. You create a group with people who love the same things as you. The stars fascinates you, but more than anything you desire to find true love. So you find one in your club. You and your significant other would do anything just to discover the worlds unknown to simkind. It was your dream together. But when your significant other suddenly dies while tweaking with the rocket ship when you were young adults, you were devastated. You couldn't finish the rocket ship that you and your loved one had started. As you mourn, drinking becomes your method to quiet a broken heart and provide a false sense of peace. But at a time when your hope begins to lag, your decision to adopt a child despite your own childlessness is the final push you need to persevere. You eventually create the rocket ship and go to Sixam, bringing the love of your life's urn and placing it there as their final resting place. You go back to earth, and live the rest of your life in peace as you have succeeded in creating your own bittersweet ending following a long line of sims with odd stories: some happy, and some not.
Traits: Hot-Headed, Genius, Erratic
Aspiration: Nerd Brain
Career: Astronaut

Les animaux sont votre passion, et votre plus grand rêve est de devenir vétérinaire et d'ouvrir un jour votre propre clinique. Même si démarrer votre propre entreprise signifie que vous devez vivre avec vos parents plus longtemps que la plupart de vos amis, cela ne vous dérange pas car cela signifie que vous êtes proche des personnes que vous aimez. En fait, la proximité et les intérêts similaires vous font tomber amoureux de quelqu'un qui travaille dans votre clinique vétérinaire, et cela ne les dérange pas que vous ne puissiez pas encore vous offrir un logement à vous. Dans votre "temps libre", vous aimez photographier des endroits proches et lointains, à la recherche de la photo parfaite.

Vos grands-parents sont vos amis les plus proches de leur vivant. Après tout, ils vous ont pratiquement élevé.

Vous avez un 9-17 "responsable" au bureau d'affaires local, mais vous possédez également un réel talent musical. Même si vous n'envisageriez jamais de quitter votre travail au bureau, investir dans votre musique est quelque chose que vous faites assez régulièrement.

L'imagination débordante que vous possédez se prête parfaitement à votre amour de l'écriture. Le surnaturel vous fascine, mais plus que tout, vous désirez trouver le véritable amour. Lorsque votre partenaire meurt subitement prématurément, vous commencez immédiatement à chercher un moyen de le ramener à vous. Au fur et à mesure que vous cherchez, boire devient votre méthode pour calmer un cœur brisé et procurer un faux sentiment de paix. Mais à un moment où votre espoir commence à s'essouffler, votre décision d'adopter un enfant malgré votre propre absence d'enfant est le dernier élan dont vous avez besoin pour persévérer. Vous réussissez à créer votre propre fin heureuse en suivant une longue lignée de sims avec des histoires étranges : certaines heureuses et d'autres non.

Greetings, fellow simmers! Welcome to the landing page for the family dynamics challenge, The Sims 3 Edition! This challenge was originally created for The Sims 4 by @solaria-sims (originally standingsimmer) and @jaanie (originally pastellapixels), but three to four years after its birth, it is FINALLY being converted to The Sims 3 for those who don’t fancy The Sims 4! The goal is to set forth a unique (and fun) set of guidelines for a ten-generation legacy challenge centered around a variety of, you guessed it, family dynamics.
If you choose to play this challenge on any platform, please feel free to use the hashtag #familydynamicschallengets3 or #fdcts3 so we can see and enjoy your gameplay too!

5. If a career branch is not specified, then the choice is up to you.
6. Must use all of the “Required Traits” for each heir, but the other traits are up to the player.
7. Have fun! Don’t let the rules of this challenge confine your gameplay and inhibit your creativity. Adhere to them as much as possible, but ultimately make the gameplay your own.
Generation One - “white picket fence”
From the time that you strike out on your own as a young adult, you dream of cultivating loving familial relationships as rich and unique as the dishes you love to create. You marry younger than some of your friends, raise a bundle of children, and enjoy entertaining groups of close friends and coworkers. You consider gardening a true passion and love show off your plot to anyone who happens to lend a spare minute. All your many obligations aside, you still devote a portion of your life to your hidden dream: becoming a master chef.
Lifetime Wish: Surrounded By Family OR The Culinary Librarian OR Celebrated Five-Star Chef OR The Perfect Garden

· marry as a young adult and stay happily married until “death do us part”
· have 3-4 children
· maintain a garden with at least ten (10) plants of different varieties (NO money tree)
· optional: have a cowplant
Generation Two - “why ever leave?”
You were raised to believe that “home is where the heart is.” And because of this, you rarely venture into the outside world unless given a good reason to do so. You choose not to leave your parents’ home to pursue your own path quite as early as a lot of your peers. Hacking became your passion while holed up in your basement bedroom, and thankfully your career of choice doesn’t require a lot of social interaction. Leftover pizza, anyone? But with your increased knowledge of technology, you desire to create artificial intelligence… and you do!
Lifetime Wish: The Tinkerer OR More than a Machine OR Monster Maker
Career: Self-Employed Hacker

· optional: marry your plumbot
· play the guitar as a hobby (no skill requirement)
· order pizza for at least one meal per week
· never move out of childhood home
Generation Three - “support my family”
Being raised by a parent with an affinity for keeping close to home only encouraged your sense of adventure and attachment to the great outdoors while growing up. You love finding hidden treasures and collecting “useless” items, hoping to convince others of their value. Being made a single parent at a young age only helped to grow the desire within you to remain free of the clutches of a “normal” job or relationship. And so, while you devote your heart to traveling whenever you can, being the best parent that you can be is your number one priority.
Required Traits: Nurturing, Adventurous, Loves the Outdoors
Lifetime Wish: Private Museum OR Seasoned Traveler
Career: you make your money from collecting and selling relics
Rules:
· become a single parent as a young adult
· master handiness and charisma skills
· optional: master martial arts (could be gen 3 heir or gen 3’s spouse who masters this skill)
· travel to each travel location

· make a bottle of nectar you pass down to the rest of the generations
· optional: master nectar making (could be gen 3 heir or gen 3’s spouse who masters this skill)
Generation Four - “laugh away the pain”
Let’s be honest, you had it pretty good growing up. Even though there were some rough patches, you know that your parent did the very best they could in raising you alone. But, deep down, being alone is the very thing you fear more than anything. So, you cover it up by surrounding yourself with people who can’t get enough of you. You make them laugh; you make them cry. But, it’s not enough. You marry young in a desperate attempt to fill the emptiness that drives you, only to find later that your spouse has chosen another. Eventually, you have to face the fact that your family is enough to hold you up.

Generation Five - “struggling in the city”
You come from a broken home. Growing up, you witnessed first-hand the havoc that infidelity can wreak on a family, and are determined from a young age that you will pour your heart and soul into building close relationships with your own family one day. The city life draws you in, and it is there that you decide to make your home. However, no matter your effort as a parent, tragedy claims one of your children long before their time. You wear a shroud of sadness from then on; all you ever wanted was to protect those you held dear. You later come to find that the love of your remaining child(ren), coupled with the release of your sadness in the form of song, might just pull you through in the end.

· mourn at the child’s grave at least once per week and leave their bedroom untouched
Generation Six - “living with a broken heart”
You lost a sibling at a very young age and witnessed the grief of your parents while still trying to process it yourself. Rather than trying to pick up the pieces, you let the sadness consume you. You give in to your darkest thoughts. Theft and criminal activity become you, and eventually, you give yourself over to that lifestyle wholeheartedly. And even though you’re usually more at home in your contemplative solitude, you take comfort once in a one-night stand. But, there’s a surprising side to you; the raging in your heart is only calmed by the time you spend bringing life up from the soil.

Generation Seven - “here to make a difference”
There is only one word to describe your childhood: lonely. You knew from a young age that the parent you lived with took very little pleasure in your company, and you’ve always felt that you were the “mistake” that resulted from a careless decision. As a result, you pour effort into building relationships with those who really care about you, and even look to mend relationships with those who don’t. You have a core group of people who mean the world to you, and as a result, try to spend as much time with them as you can. Your career choice was a given from the start, as it provides you with the tools to make an impact on the world around you. And, while you’re a social creature by nature, you never turn down the opportunity to curl up with a good book.

Generation Eight - “working with animals is what I love”
Growing up, you were always surrounded by family and close friends who loved you. But, you desired more than just human interaction. Working with animals is your passion. Riding horses is all you can see yourself doing, but it costs some of your human interacting in the process. Furthermore, making money while riding is hard to come by, so you never venture out to buy a place of your own. But whilst riding around town, you find love in someone who has interests similar to your own. In your incredibly limited spare time, you enjoy photographing places near and far, just looking for that perfect frame. Between riding your horses and your photography, you’re not really able to spend as much time with your children. But that’s okay; you’re out there living your dreams.

· take at least ten (10) photos
· take a picture of each of your pets
· optional: have the Hates Children trait
Generation Nine - “business-minded and musically-inclined”
Your parents worked hard for every single penny that they earned, but you were just left feeling like they didn’t really care about you as much as the animals they tended. Your grandparents are your closest friends while they’re still alive. After all, they practically raised you. As a young adult, you desire the family you feel you never had, and start a family quickly…only to find out that you’ve married someone whom you don’t really love as much as you should. Being successful in your career of choice classes you as a responsible, functioning member of society. However, you also possess the real musical talent and, even though you would never really consider leaving your current job, you invest in your music quite regularly. You eventually remarry after finding true love and enjoy the rest of your life playing mediator between members of a mixed family. Will you find real happiness amidst the wealth and a high-powered career?

· eat out at a restaurant at least once per week
· optional: host a sim at a venue
Generation Ten - “I will make our happy ending”
Objectively speaking, your life is great. You never really wanted for anything as a child. The overactive imagination that you possess lends itself perfectly to your love of writing. The supernatural fascinates you, but more than anything you wish to find true love. When your significant other dies unexpectedly, you immediately begin to seek out a way to bring them back to you. As you search, drinking becomes your method of coping; it quiets your breaking heart and provides the sense of peace you need, even if it’s false. But, at a time when your hope begins to dwindle, your decision to open your home to an adopted child is the final push you need to persevere. You succeed in creating your own happy ending following a long line of sims with odd stories; some happy, and some not. All you know is, a family is a family, doesn’t matter its dynamic.

· optional (for generation 11): have the child be a fairy, witch, or vampire (you’d have to cheat it)
Optional Generation 11- “our story isn’t quite over yet”
You had a strange household. When you were adopted, it was just you and your parent. But then their lost love came back into the picture… as a ghost of all things! As you grew up in your odd home, you realized you weren’t so normal yourself. Whether it was your toys vanishing before your eyes, your unnatural thirst for sim blood, your strange feeling at the twinkling of the full moon, or the glowing wings that sprouted from your back, your parents knew you weren’t like the rest, and they loved you despite and because of it. You grew from this love into a caring supernatural who only wanted to help others with your strange gifts. You always held a soft spot in your heart for humans… you even fell in love with one!
“This generation is broken up differently than the other ten. There are four (4) optional paths you can take. The one you pursue depends on which supernatural your generation eleven (11) heir is.”
Generation 11- “fairy”
Gardening has been in your family for generations. Though you’re adopted, the love of the outdoors still flows through your magical veins like it did with your great ancestors so many generations ago. And with your gifts, you can make your ancestors proud with the most beautiful garden of all.

You love the speed and agility of being a vampire, but you hate the lifestyle. But will you hate the lifestyle when your kid is a part of it?

But one night you discover you're not just drawn to the night, you're one with it. You turn into a werewolf and crave the moonlight even more. It fascinates you and you decide to seek out more people like you. But despite your love of your species, the humans will always hold a soft spot in your heart.

(THIS GENERATION WAS NOT OFFERED WITH THE SIMS 4 EDITION AND IS A GIFT TO ALL SIMS 3 PLAYERS WHO WAITED 2 WHOLE YEARS TO RECEIVE THIS VERSION OF THE CHALLENGE!)
If you choose not to continue, we hope you enjoyed generations one (1) through ten (10). If you did choose to continue on through generation eleven (11), go you!
Greetings, fellow simmers! Welcome to the landing page for our Family Dynamics Challenge, specifically created for The Sims 4. This challenge was created by @jaanie, originally pastellapixels (hence this pages name) and @solaria-plays, originally known as standingsimmer, with the goal to set forth a unique (and fun!) set of guidelines for a ten-generation legacy challenge centered around a variety of family dynamics.
So the original post for this challenge was deleted so I took it upon myself as the part-owner to post it since not very many people know of this challenge. I also plan on updating this challenge for future packs (and all of the packs that have come out since this challenge’s original release).
If you choose to play this challenge on any platform, please feel free to use the hashtag #familydynamicschallenge or #fdc so we can enjoy your gameplay too!
Translations: Korean by @moraeplays... and more coming soon!
Last Update: Island Living Expansion
Other Editions: Sims 3

General Rules:
Begin with a single sim
No cheats or mods that serve to enhance gameplay over other simmers (MC Command Center is permitted for baby gender/number control and risky woohoo only)

Each career and aspiration must be completed unless expressly stated otherwise (if a career branch is not specified, then the choice is completely up to you!)
Have fun! Don’t let the rules of this challenge confine you and inhibit your creativity. Unless the rules explicitly direct you, we encourage you to make the gameplay your own
Rest of the rules below the cut!
Generation One: “White picket fence”
From the time that you strike out on your own as a young adult, you dream of cultivating loving familial relationships as rich and unique as the dishes you love to create. You marry younger than some of your friends, raise a bundle of children, and enjoy gardening and entertaining in your spare time. Yet, you still devote a portion of your life to your hidden dream of becoming a master chef.
Traits: Outgoing, Foodie, Family-Oriented

Generation Two: “Why ever leave?”
You were raised to believe that “home is where the heart is.” And because of this, you rarely venture into the outside world unless given a really good reason to do so. You choose not to leave your parents’ home to pursue your own path at the same time that a lot of others do. Video games and programming became your passion while holed up in your basement bedroom, and thankfully your career of choice doesn’t require a lot of socialization. Leftover pizza, anyone?

Generation Three: “Support my family”
Being raised by a parent with an affinity for keeping close to home never quelled your sense of adventure and love for the outdoors when growing up. You love finding hidden treasures and collecting “useless” items, hoping to convince others of their value. Being made a single parent at a young age only helped to build the desire within you to remain free of the clutches of a “normal” job or relationship. And so, you devote your heart to running your own business and being the best parent that you can.
Traits: Cheerful, Unflirty, Loves the Outdoors
Aspiration: The Curator

Generation Four: “Laugh away the pain”
Let’s be honest: you had a pretty good upbringing. Even though there were some rough patches, you know that your parent did the best they could to raise you alone. But, deep down, being alone is the very thing you fear more than anything. So, you cover it up with laughter,…both the laughter which bubbles from inside you and that which you try to create in others. You marry young in a desperate attempt to fill the emptiness that drives you, only to find later that your spouse has chosen another. Eventually, you have to face the fact that your family and the laughter are enough to hold you up. Oh, and did we mention you mix some crazy DJ tapes in your free time?

You determine from a young age that you will pour your soul into forging close relationships with your spouse and children. The city draws you, and it is there that you decide to make your home. However, despite your best efforts as a doctor later in life, tragedy claims one of your children long before their time.

You give into your darkest thoughts. Theft and criminal activity appeal to you, and eventually you give yourself over to that lifestyle. Even though you’re more at home in your contemplative solitude, you take comfort once in a one-night-stand. But there’s a surprising side to you; the raging in your heart is only calmed by the time you spend cultivating life in the soil.

As a result, you pour effort into building relationships with those who truly care about you, and even attempt to mend relationships with those who don’t. You have a core group of people who mean the world to you, and you spend as much time with them as you can. Becoming a politician was an obvious choice, as it provides you with the tools you need to reach others. And while you’re a social creature by nature, you never turn down the opportunity to curl up with a good book.

Animals are your passion, and your biggest dream is becoming a vet and opening your own clinic someday. Even though starting up your own business means you have to live with your parents longer than most of your friends, you don’t mind because it means you’re close the people you love. In fact, closeness and similar interests cause you to fall in love with someone who works at your vet clinic, and they don’t mind that you can’t yet afford a place of your own. In your “spare time” (hah!), you enjoy photographing places near and far, searching for that perfect shot. Between trying to run a successful clinic and your photography hobby, you’re not able to spend as much time with your children as you like. But that’s okay; you’re out there living your dreams.

As a young adult, you desire the family you feel you never had and start a family quickly…only to find out that you’re married to someone you don’t love as much as you should. You have a “responsible” 9-5 at the local business office, but you also possess real musical talent. Even though you would never consider leaving your job at the office, investing in your music is something you do quite regularly.
