This really hit home, and there are many types of families in the world. It would be great if more people could realize that. 

[aspecinitiativecenter]

Any person+person/animal combo can be a family; children are not required, especially if they are not in the cards for you. 

I think this is important for aspecs to hear, particularly young ones.

The Sims 4: The Good Place Legacy Challenge (6 Gen)

This is a 6-generation legacy challenge based of NBC’s comedy series called The Good Place. Generations are loosely based off the core six characters of the show. Listed below are the generations first and additional notes second. Please see all additional notes.  

The Generations:

Generation 1: Jason Mendoza (start as a young adult)

Jason must have the following: Aspiration: Chief of Mischief Traits: Dance Machine, Bro, [your choice]

Backstory: Jason is determined to follow in his parents’ footsteps and pursues a career as a criminal living in Willow Creek. He must fall in love with a coworker. Jason must maximize the Mischief skill, achieve level 5 of the Video Gaming skill, and reach the top of the criminal career in the boss branch before Eleanor is a young adult. Jason and his partner must have at least one child (at least one daughter named Eleanor).

Generation 2: Eleanor Shellstrop (begins when Eleanor is a young adult)

Eleanor must have the following: Aspiration: Joke Star Traits: Goofball, Self-Assured, [your choice]

Backstory: Eleanor moves out on her own and relocates to a small San Myshuno apartment. Eleanor was raised by career criminal parents, so she must begin her young adulthood in either branch of the criminal career, reach Charisma level 5 and Programming level 5 while she’s in the criminal career, and perform at least one successful hack before changing her life path. On her way to becoming a career criminal, Eleanor meets a love interest who reshapes her ideas about the world and who she wants to be. Eleanor decides to use her strong personality for good and switches to the comedy career. She needs to reach level 10 of the comedy career before Michael is a young adult. Eleanor and her partner must have at least one child (at least one son named Michael).

Generation 3: Michael (begins when Michael is a young adult)

Michael must have the following: Aspiration: Public Enemy Traits: Evil, Ambitious, [your choice]

Backstory: Michael must reach level 10 of the Mischief and Charisma skills. Michael must marry a partner with the Good trait. Michael and his partner must have at least one child (at least one son named Chidi). Michael must reach the top of the criminal career in the oracle branch before Chidi is a young adult.

Generation 4: Chidi Anagonye (begins when Chidi is a young adult)

Chidi must have the following: Aspiration: Renaissance Sim Traits: Genius, Squeamish, [your choice]

Backstory: Chidi’s parents - one Good, one Evil - both shaped Chidi in how he understands the way the world works and why people do the things they do. As a result, Chidi is rather indecisive about what he wants because of all the possible consequences of his actions. Chidi must reach level 3 in two separate careers out of the following options: gardening (Base Game alternative: painter), business, or politics (Base Game alternative: secret agent). Chidi’s third and final career will be writing - author track. He must maximize the Writing skill and reach level 6 of the writing career before Tahani is a young adult. Chidi must marry a partner with the Hates Children trait. Chidi and his partner must have two daughters, Tahani (first born) and Kamilah (second born). Chidi and his partner’s relationship with Tahani must never increase above Friend status and must reach Acquaintance before moving onto Generation 5. Both Chidi and his partner must have Good Friends status with Kamilah. Kamilah must have the Independent trait as a toddler and the Self-Absorbed (Base Game alternative: Mean) trait later in life.

Generation 5: Tahani Al-Jamil (begins when Tahani is a child)

Tahani must have the following: Traits: Insider (Base Game alternative: Outgoing), Creative, Good Aspiration: Leader of The Pack

Backstory: As a child, Tahani was often overshadowed by her younger sister, Kamilah. With a lot of time on her own, Tahani focused her energy and emotion into the arts - Painting and Violin. Tahani must complete the Artistic Prodigy aspiration while she’s a child. As a teen, Tahani volunteers every Saturday and Sunday by herself since her parents are busy with Kamilah. She spends any extra time working on school projects and her arts. Tahani must reach level 5 of the Violin and Painting skill before reaching young adulthood. During Tahani’s young adulthood, she pursues a career (one of these: Patron of The Arts, Arts Critic [Base Game alternative: Style Influencer], or Charity Organizer) she finds fulfilling. Tahani falls in love with a partner who treats her well and must possess the Good trait. She must have at least one child (one must be a daughter named Janet) and reach the top of her career, maximize the Painting and Violin skills, and complete her aspiration before Janet is a young adult.

Generation 6: Janet (begins when Janet is a toddler

Janet must have the following: Traits: Good, Genius, Cheerful Aspiration: Friend of The World

Backstory: Janet has been shaped and inspired by her parents. She must earn the Top-Notch Toddler trait (Base Game: exempt). She has aimed to make the world a better place for most of her life. During her teenage stage, she must volunteer at least 3 times a week (either with or without family members). Janet is smart and socially conscious, so she dreams of making her own startup company so she can help develop technology for positive uses. She must complete at least two school projects per week that help her develop her Programming and/or Logic skills. Before Janet reaches young adulthood, she must reach level 4 of Logic and Charisma. Janet must also be in range to earn the Empathy, Manners, and Conflict Resolution traits (Base Game: exempt). As a young adult, Janet dives into the tech guru career and reach level 10 of the entrepreneur startup branch. Janet must reach level 10 of Logic and Charisma. She must also marry a partner with the Good trait and adopt at least one child. If the couple decides they want more children, they must adopt all additional children. Janet must also complete her aspiration.

~~~~~~~~~~

Notes:

1. Once Janet and her partner have adopted their first child and completed all skill/career/aspiration related goals, you have won the challenge.

2. Subsequent generations following Generation 1 can change last names (surnames) from the original character’s last name as needed depending on their parents’ last names.

3. Unless specified, each generation may live in whichever neighborhood you’d like.

4. No money cheats.

5. Money shall be inherited from generation to generation - struggling for money might be relevant in the first one or two generations, but this is not intended to be a Rags to Riches kind of challenge.

6. For Generation 1, your starter budget is what the game gives you with your single Sim.

7. Unless specified, events do not need to happen in a certain order (i.e. Janet can get married while at level 1 of her career if you want to do that, but Eleanor may not switch careers until she forms her romantic interest).

8. Aging must be on, but aging on only for the active household is okay.

9. Lifespan must be set to long.

10. Sims events are loosely based on the core six characters from NBC’s The Good Place. Genetics in The Sims will impact the appearances of these characters - they do not need to be clones of the characters they are representing. You’re welcome to go for general style and hair color if you like. Do not change anything given to them biologically that wouldn’t ordinarily be altered: physical build/body type, eye color, facial structure, etc. However, gender spectrum and identity affiliations are up to you and your gameplay style. (i.e. If you want to present Michael as a trans-fem Sim, you may.) In cases of gender transitioning, you may alter in cas.fulleditmode as you see fit. (***Please do not choose a storyline like this if you don’t know anything about the LGBTQ+ and especially transgender communities.***)

11. If you don’t have a relevant pack, there are Base Game alternatives listed in parentheses or brackets within parentheses. Anything labeled “exempt” you can skip because there isn’t really a viable alternative.

I will face God and walk backwards into Hell

“I’ll do whatever you want” “then perish”

I have been through hell and come out singing
