This is a 10 generation legacy challenge inspired by SimsSavs Mystical Motherhood Series. The challenge will follow 10 generations of sims, 2 will be human and 8 will be considered “mystical” sims. A mystical sim involves all occult sims and sims that add gameplay to the Sims 4. Each generation will have a mystical heir that has goals that need to be completed in order for the generation to be considered completed. The mystical heir will also need to get a collectable to pass on to the next gen.
This is a working document, meaning the rules can change as I play. If you want to see me play, I will be playing the series on my channel so I can get live feedback from you all! Here is the link to my channel, if you want to check it out: MaiaTheeSimmer.
****NOTE: You have to add NPCs to the household to have a kid with them. You can do so with cheats. Console players can make sims to represent NPCs if they can not be added to the family.*****
General Rules:
You must start with a Young Adult sim
You can only start with starting funds of 20,000 simoleons. The money generated can be kept over generations, you do not have to reset to 20,000 each generation.
Aging can be set however you prefer, I will be playing with aging on normal.
Your heir succession laws can follow any system you prefer. Common options are only one gender can be heir, eldest born will be heir, alternating gender heirs, and more.
You can use any mods you wish as long as it does not provide an advantage
You can change any generation based on your packs.
You must pass on the mystical collectible to the next mystical heir (more information below).
Optional: You can dress and name your sims reflecting the generation!
You are the first generation and you are completely responsible for the curse placed on future generations. You visited the jungles of Selvadorada when you took a sacred relic that will curse you and your family for generations to come! The curse makes it so every generation must produce a mystical heir. The final generation will have to have all 10 mystical collectables to break the curse. You marry a human and have at least 1 human baby to conceal the curse. You will then have an affair and conceive the mystical heir which will be with a mermaid. No one will know about the affair except for the next mystical heir when they become a teen. You want to make up for your wrongdoing by becoming the best parent, knitting creations for your family, and volunteering together.
Mystical Collectable:

You always had a love for water but never knew why. You thought you had a perfect life until you found out you’re a mermaids kid! You end up resenting generation 1 heir and move to Sulani as a teenager. There you fall in love with the island, and appreciate all things surrounding being a mermaid. You take on the role of cleaning up the island and join the conservationist career. Though you are not perfect, you want to give your mystical heir a wonderful childhood. Your love for nature leads you to meeting Patchy. You never marry but have 3 kids with them.

What to do if your child isn't a mermaid?
This is the only occult generation that being an occult is not required. The mermaid generation just requires a mermaid parent. If you want the heir to be a mermaid you can use in-game or cheats to achieve it. Using cheats to change the sim into a mermaid does not break challenge rules because becoming a mermaid is not a goal for the generation.
You grew up spending most of your time outside. You always loved collecting things you found on the beaches of Sulani growing up. Your parents were never official and it has caused you to be noncommittal. You also pick up a love for the outdoors that your parents shared. You are never satisfied with love except for your love for flowers and gardening. Your love for flowers leads you to having a single baby with a flower bunny. Though you do not commit to the flower bunny or a job, you still love your child and want to teach them about the great outdoors and all that you learned in your time as a scout. Your lack of commitment makes you avoid getting connected to material items and prefer to find things in the dumpster.

Do you know how I feel right now. I am a chronic rarepair fan and I have NEVER had a ship go canon. Now I am, as a humble lifelong medieval history nerd, after SEVEN YEARS of dev silence (and <20 fics on ao3 last time I checked, many written by yours truly), witnessing the altright fandom melt down into nuclear waste in real time. Because their ~antiwoke hero~ studio just dropped a major sequel confirming my ultra rarepair lgbtq+ nothingburger never-gonna-happen ship was endgame all along. They suck face horizontal ON SCREEN. We went in expecting Kingdom Under Heaven: Braveheart II and we got fucking Maurice with Swords. I could bend steel with my pinkies. This is my Roman empire. This is video game Christmas to me. I am unkillable right now do you understand
So I am currently knitting the Magical Flying Husband a tube scarf. I like tube scarves, they are thick and warm and soft and flexible. And this one's coming out fairly prettily, too! But I have never made one before, and I am thinking, well, I made this one pretty wide--a solid eight inches across, because I want him to be able to wrap it across his head if necessary and those four-inch-wide trendy tube scarves can't even cover your ears right. So I think, I will Ask the Internet what their opinion is on the perfect length for a tube scarf, and I will make any necessary adjustments from there in light of the width.
And the first result is a useful forum post, and the second result is a useful-ish Reddit post, and the third response is a little spreadsheet, and the fourth response...
the fourth response is this
I would argue that this is not a scarf
Also I am concerned by the possibility that the smiling human head is there to entice actual mammals closer to the Tube
tiktok dying before tumblr makes both no sense and complete sense at the same time. on one hand how the hell is this website still here, and on the other hand of fucking course this website is still here
Absolutely hilarious to me that the ton is gonna be speculating on why and how Penelope and Colin ended up engaged and there’s definitely gonna be some entrapment/pity rumours going around but the actual truth of it is that Colin chased a carriage down, fell to his knees and went “please please please please please please please”
I have yet to come across it gif-ed anywhere, but right after this Violet walks off with this little smirk on her face, like she knows she just had a mic-drop moment.
