The Strawberry Shortcake Legacy Challenge!

This is a ten generation legacy challenge based off of the Strawberry Shortcake franchise. I tried to pick the most notable and iconic characters for you to play through. Each generation has traits, goals, and more based around one character. This is a light hearted legacy with a lot of style and color. I hope you enjoy and hashtag #sslegacy to share your sims!

If you prefer a google doc version of the rules you can click here for the full document.

General Rules:

No money cheats! For me personally the game is more fun with less money. Your founder should start out with either the starting funds or 0 simoleons. When the next heir moves out try to give them only money from the household fund or start them out with the normal starting fund. 

You must complete all goals in each generation. If you do not have the specific pack required feel free to swap it out with something else! Each generation may have any spouse, have as many kids, and any pets unless there is a required minimum. 

Keep the lifespan on normal 

You may live anywhere you want unless there is a specification. 

There will be colors associated with each generation, but they are not required. They can be used as a guideline for vanilla sims or used for berry sim players. Appearance is completely up to you!

Most importantly, have fun! If you want to share your gameplay or sims you can use the hashtag #sslegacy

Pokemon a day challenge 2020

Steven and I have decided we're going to draw a pokemon a day to fill up a pokedex. This is our progress so far, and I'll update this image from time to time. I primarily made this account to show our drawings.

We started with a random starter each and we are using a random generator to pick our pokemon each day. I'm recording our progress in an app on Android called "data dex".

"Rules" so far:

- Start with a starter.

- Use a random generator to select pokemon.

- If you generate an evolution, you have to draw the first stage instead if you haven't already.

- If the pokemon has regional forms (Alolan, Galar), you have to draw them all.

Feel free to join in, with our "rules" or your own! Let us know if you do so we can follow and see your progress.

~Steven's Mom

Rags to Widower Combo

Despite having a knack for accidentally killing my sims- I’ve only killed Sims on purpose twice and they were both vampires who were bugging my families. I was watching a Deligracy video this morning where she basically serial kills a bunch of sims and it was pretty funny and I decided to give Sim killing a try. 

My favorite gameplay is usually some variation of Rags to Riches and I thought it might help me break into killing Sims on purpose. This challenge is a combination of  Black Widow Challenge/ Rags to Riches. It doesn’t have to be widower- in this case main character is a dude & I play queerly pretty much always but sometimes my Sims are hey I like this person/cat whatever back off- so I do. I always use full autonomy and Sims, like fictional characters, will sometimes go a different way. 

This challenge is adapted from watching Lets Plays- I looked for challenges to credit and there are too many so thanks to all of the creators and I do not attribute because I am not abiding by the regular rules. 

Rules: 

Sim- any adult age any gender pick your traits/aspirations however you like.

Must start on empty lot anywhere you choose except the city- you can move to the city when you’ve built a legit house (no matter how small but all the things) and have 10,000 in reserve. OR- make 5,000 dollars and move into the cheapest needs TLC apartment you can find. 

Use money cheat to set your money to zero. 

Fish, collect, paint etc. to raise money. Can sell in inventory- you are gonna be busy. 

NO Yard Sales. (Way too easy money-wise) 

You can use public bathrooms. No gym showers. Hint: washing hands in sinks helps with hygiene. 

You can use grills after you have 1,000 simoleans if you have to. Better to eat random food you can find- cooked or not. Don’t take stuff from people’s houses UNLESS you are a klepto with the skill to swipe things. 

Make friends/be social unless you are a loner Sim (I tend to hermit in IRL & the Sims) 

Set lifespan to long (my compromise- short lifespan stresses me out)

NO NO NO money cheats except to lose money/settle on children/zero out. 

No free real estate cheats except you can pick any empty lot to be your first as long as it’s not in the city. 

Cheats if you want em: 

reset 

needs- if three or more are red & you can’t do anything in game to fix you can cheat needs but you must keep track. Aim for no more than five times in total. (Can you tell I am a big ole cheater) 

Teleport- 

Don’t overuse- for example- Sim is exhausted and has no home and needs to fish/collect far away from a bench to sleep on...

Rewards in game: 

Beguile is helpful but I consider it a cheat in challenges like this but I’m all for it. 

Marrying- 

Must *Marry & Cheat/Kill 10 times. Must keep/connect with ghosts if possible. Can live in houses and sell as much as you want or keep a house whatever. Once you get married the first time the primary way (80 percent) of money is through marriage. 

Oh yeah the dinner party thing- have a party. But you decide if you want to rank it or not. Life is stressful enough friends. 

Pick a thing and get good at it. 

Suggested: Charisma- max- helps with challenge. Mischief helps too. 

Cooking- all the kinds in case you want to bring a ghost back to life. (why not?) 

Gardening- same. 

Pick a creative thing to do and do it doesn’t matter what. 

If you fall in love or don’t want to kill anymore you can quit the killing but MUST zero out your money again BEFORE you marry the one true love and build or buy the house you will live in yourself. Zero out their funds. If you are already married you must leave your spouse/start over and then you can re-marry.

*Marriage is weird in our world where not everyone gets to or sometimes people have to and this is supposed to be fun so if you want to have a serious move in relationship and figure out how to make that work go ahead who cares? 

Lastly- if you are having fun and the thought of it ending makes you really sad-  just turn aging off. It should be fun first. Especially in 2018. Whatever it takes.
