At Firefly Hollow, spring is in full swing.

Daisy's first order of business? Buying the seeds needed to start the garden of a lifetime!

(thanks to Daisy, we're finally testing out the planting overhaul mod!)

🏵 Sims in Bloom Generation 1: Daisy 🏵

Daisy Greenbriar's got a lot to prove. Not just to Firefly Hollow, but to herself, too...

Daisy's always had a passion for gardening. There's even a little plantsim on her dad's side! Having grown up in San Myshuno with a healthy love of nature thanks to her parents introducing her to the wonders of greenhouses, arboretums, and the joy of collecting plants on the windowsill, Daisy can't remember a time where she didn't have potting soil under her nails. There's no happy place quite like meditating under the shade of fruit trees you planted yourself, and working a plot of land into her own self-sustaining garden has been Daisy's dream for as long as she can remember. Armed with nothing but sunscreen, some gardening know-how, and a small nest egg from her parents, Daisy Greenbriar set off from San Myshuno to pursue her childhood dream in Firefly Hollow's farming community. Will her future in Firefly Hollow bloom just as beautifully as her garden?

🏵 Daisy's legacy rules (along with credit for those rules) can be found below!

Hi all, welcome to a new legacy (attempt)!

I'd been in a TS2 dry spell for well over a year until I stumbled across one of @keoni-chan's latest legacies, Sims In Bloom, which keoni adapted for TS2 from the original TS4 challenge created by a-sims-garden. Suddenly, I had the itch to play again. (Thank you for adapting this ruleset, keoni!)

While I'm mostly using keoni's ruleset, I've decided to add a little hardship to my legacy, and have added these along with more optional challenges and LTW fulfillment bonuses that will change with each generation. I have not playtested any of these so they might switch up a little as I go! I'm also playing with Lamare's 50 New LTWs mod and pforestsims' edit of Atomtanned's Trait-Based Chemistry.

Daisy will become downloadable once her generation is finished. Or I give up. Whichever comes first.

My added hardships are:

🏵Failure to complete the required generational challenges before the next heir reaches adulthood will result in a financial penalty for the next heir. The heir will now begin their generation with only 2500 starting simoleons. 🏵Failure to complete generational challenges before the current heir dies will result in a financial penalty of only 500 starting simoleons for the next heir and a hardship from the list below, for which the player must roll to determine:

A Series of Unfortunate Events: For the first season of your heir’s generation, you must play based on fears, not wants. Wants may be achieved autonomously or by chance, but cannot be achieved with Watcher meddling. After a full season, this handicap may be lifted.

A Lesson in Chemistry: your heir must marry a 0 or negative bolter. There are no penalties if attraction develops during the course of the relationship.

Doing It the Hard Way: your heir is not allowed to hire service sims, dig for treasure, or use aspiration rewards until they have passed the torch.

One Way Street: your heir may not use the elixir of life, cowplant milk, or challenge death to save themselves or loved ones. Similarly, loved ones may not challenge death to save the heir.

A Little Dose of Chaos: you may not control your heir’s children or spouse until your heir has completed at least one generational challenge.

Patriarchy or Matriarchy: your heir may only pass the torch to a biological child of the same gender. Adopted children cannot be chosen as heir with this handicap. Generation 2 is not exempt from this penalty should they roll it. To account for this, generation 2’s requirements have been edited.

As for Daisy...

Daisy's generational challenges are:

🏵 Achieve a gold gardening badge before the next heir ages to adult. 🏵 Receive a perfect garden score from the Garden Club 🏵 Grow mouthwatering versions of all fruits and veggies 🏵 Marry a Garden Club member Optional: become a plantsim and have a plant baby Optional: Grow a cowplant

Daisy's hardships are:

🏵 No traditional career allowed! You may make money only by selling produce directly from the menu or through a home business

🏵 Only a child with a genuine interest (5+) in animals may become heir

If Gen 2's chosen heir rolls romance, you're allowed 1 re-roll!

LTW Bonus: If you are able to fulfill your founder’s LTW before passing the torch, your founder gifts their heir with an additional 2k simoleons and one of the following for their new home based on the player’s choice: a car, a computer, a television

On the outskirts of the small town of Firefly Hollow, rumors of a newcomer are circulating fast. Only a true green thumb could ever hope to breathe a little life back into the old Bloom place. The running bet is a season, maybe two, before Firefly Hollow's newest stranger is only a rumor again, hightailing it back to San Myshuno.

The end of spring brings with it Daisy's worst day in Firefly Hollow yet

Sometimes all a sim needs to feel truly at home in a new neighborhood, is a friend.
