Rules:
- Have fun!
- Change the goals and skills to suit you and your game!
- Go in whatever order you'd like!
- Updated for packs out in March 2024
Snapshot of 8 more gens under the cut ~
*Rules focus on very loose gameplay style and draw inspiration from the princess tales. They are not exact copies and a lot of the movie plot points to do not transfer over to the sims. If you want to play more faithfully to the movie adaptions, please feel free to disregard any rules you do not like/have packs for.
*A lot of gens have similar rules/skills they follow. Feel free to skip around to gens you are more interested in playing
*Check back as rules are constantly being updated as I play through the challenge myself
► NOT SO BERRY x BERRY PASTEL RAINBOWCY - AN UPDATED VERSION
as some of you might know, I've written updated versions of the not so berry challenge and the berry pastel rainbowcy before. however, I keep wanting to switch between the two challenges or abandoning my one save for the other. so, on a random Monday evening I figured, why not combine the two for the ultimate updated challenge experience? my lovely fellow simmers over at @berrygameplay convinced me to write stuff down and... the NSB x BPR updated rules was born!
credit goes to @lilsimsie and @alwaysimming for the original nsb rules and @berrysweetboutique for the original berry pastel rainbowcy rules!
►WHAT ABOUT THE RULES
as with my two other updated challenges, i've written the rules in a google doc (that you cannot edit! stop asking for permission to edit the file!). if you want to save the rules for yourself, go to file > create a copy and you're able to save the rules wherever you want and edit them. this will not change the original document.
there are disclaimers, a list of packs you need for this challenge (most packs are optional) and an index to move through generations quickly. each gen has their own introductory story (you don't have to adhere to these stories!), required traits - aspirations - careers, the generational rule (bpr), reward traits to buy, and the list of objectives catered to that generation. feel free to edit these objectives to your hearts desire! this challenge is supposed to be fun :)

the sims 4 it girls: a nine generation legacy challenge
i decided to create my own themed legacy challenge for the sims 4. this challenge is similar to challenges like nsb, ditft, etc. except this time it’s themed around the music it girls!
if you’re unaware, the music it girls refer to songs which sing about a specific girl by name (ex. jolene, hey there delilah, come on eileen, etc.). this challenge takes inspiration from 9 different it girls and each generation is based on one of them. besides that, the rules don’t differ from any other standard legacy challenge.
please tag me if you do this and use #itgirlslegacy because i’d love to see what you make of it! this is my first time designing a challenge for ts4 and my first post in the community, so feedback if very much appreciated!
rules below the cut
1 | ROSEMARY
“she ain't got no money, her clothes are kinda funny, her hair is kinda wild and free”
you start with humble beginnings. you don’t have much money, you really have no clue what you want to do in life, and most people are put off by your eccentric attitude. but you’ve never been bothered by what other people think. so, you set out into the world with nothing but a paintbrush, some fabric and a dream.
you love all creative outlets. you paint, cross-stich, knit, and might even pick up an instrument from time to time, but your real passion lies in fashion. you’re an out-of-the-box designer and always make sure that your own style reflects that. unfortunately, the world and the industry aren’t too kind to you, but nothing can tarnish your spirit (you’re lowkey a manic pixie dream girl oops)
traits: erratic, creative, lazy
aspiration: lady of the knits
job: fashion influencer
requirements:
start off homeless (or at least in a very inexpensive home) with no more than 1,000 simoleons
master painting, cross-stitching, and knitting skills
play an instrument as a side hobby
have one kid
visit the flea market whenever it comes into town
2 | DELILAH
“hey there delilah, what's it like in new york city? i'm a thousand miles away, but girl tonight you look so pretty.”
you could always respect your parents’ and their humble, quirky ways, but it was never you. ever since you were a kid, you were more reclusive than others, preferring the company of yourself and your big dreams above anyone else. so, you immediately set your goals high. you have your life all planned out by high school. you’ll go to college, graduate with an honors degree, move to the city, get a job as a tech guru, and excel in your field.
you fall in love with a musician in college and dream of spending the rest of your lives together. the issue is you have very different wants out of life. while your partner wants a carefree life, living every day on a whim, you’ve had your life planned out since day one. you have your ambitions high, and your plans set and you aren’t willing to give that up on anything, even the love of your life. so, you break up. you graduate, pack your bags, and head to the city, swearing to never look back.
and for a while, life is everything you planned it would be. you enter a successful career, work your way to a successful life, and balance a very minimal social life on the side. until one day, you see them again. out of the blue, the one person you swore to never think about again, your ex, shows up in right in front of you. they’re different now, more mature, more committed. and all of a sudden, you realize for the first time, that you’re different too. it turns out neither of you ever really moved on, so you give it another shot.
and it’s everything you dreamed. the two of you stay together, have kids, and you’re proud to say you’ve got the best of both worlds.
traits: perfectionist, ambitious, genius
aspiration: city native
occupation: tech guru
requirements:
live in san myshuno
have no more than three kids
master photography and programming skills
have a relationship with a musician in college
get back together later in life & stay with them
3 | ROXANNE
“roxanne, you don't have to wear that dress tonight, walk the streets for money. you don't care if it's wrong or if it's right.”
growing up in the city introduced you to the darker aspects of the world young. you grew up a bit of a cynic with no intentions of changing anytime soon. while you knew your parents loved you, they were often too preoccupied with work to pay you much attention. so, you used your street smarts and found entertainment where you could: the neighbor’s houses–more specifically, their prized possessions.
so, you were a bit of a delinquent, often getting in trouble at school and realistically earning some time in juvenile detention centers if it weren’t for your stealth and superb ability to get yourself out of any situation.
you skipped the whole college deal and got right to what you did best: crime and mischief. you’re content working alone until you meet your polar opposite, a wide-eyed, naive sweetheart who sees the good in you and makes it their mission to change your ways. will they be able to turn you around and set you on the path of good, or are you too stuck in your ways? can you find common ground, or are you simply too different to work out?
traits: self-assured, kleptomaniac, hot-headed
aspiration: criminal mastermind
occupation: criminal (can change later depending on what story you choose)
requirements:
master charisma and handiness
go out at least every three nights
steal something at least once a week
4 | SOFIA
“i think we could do it if we tried if only to say, you're mine. sofia, know that you and i shouldn't feel like a crime.”
much of your childhood was spent sneaking out and escaping from the mainstream. that was one of the few things you and your parent had in common. but while they snuck out to visit night clubs and steal from unsuspecting neighbors, you snuck out to see the one person who made an otherwise lonely adolescence worth it: your best friend, who you adore more than anyone else in the world, who understands you like nobody else, and who you’ve wanted to spend every waking minute with since the day you met as kids.
okay… so you might be in love with your best friend. but days spent giving longing looks across the classroom, nights spent slow dancing in your room, and mornings spent waking up from sleepovers a little too close are totally normal friend activities. there’s no way they’d feel the same about you and if you ever dared to confess, you’d probably just trhow away the one person you were ever close with. you can just repress it. after all, that’s all you’ve ever known.
once you graduate, you and your best friend move as far away from home as possible. you move in together and start the next chapter of your lives. all you want to do is explore the world with your just friend. that is until one day, you fess up the inconceivable courage to confess up your love to them (whether this be a spur of the moment, drunken confession or a long, though-out declaration of love is up to you). and to your relief and utter surprise, they feel the same way! and it turns out they have for a long time. so, the two of you begin your relationship together and the rest of your life is everything you dreamed it’d be as a kid.
traits: adventurous, gloomy, bookworm
aspiration: soulmate
career: author
requirements:
master writing skill
master skiing, rock climbing, OR snowboarding skill
end up with childhood best friend
yes, you have to be sapphic in this one idc (you can’t be the embodiment of a clairo song and then be straight ffs)
have a rocky relationship with your family
have a family member reject you when you come out to them/reveal your relationship (this doesn’t have to be your former heir if you like them too much, it can be a sibling or the other parent or something) (feel free to skip this one if it’s too triggering!)
living in mt. komorebi as an adult is recommended for the adventurous trait, but not mandatory
go an at least one vacation with your family
5 | EILEEN
“these people round here wear beatdown eyes sunk in smoke dried face, so resigned to what their fate is, but not us, no not us, we are far too young and clever”
when you first found out about your parents’ young adventurous spirits, you were shocked. to them, this town you’d grown up in was full of wonders and excitement. to you? it was drab and predictable, full of drab and predictable people. you gagged at the thought of slaving away at a 9-5 job every time and coming home to a simple suburban family. you knew that you were capable of so much more. you simply had something that other people didn’t.
you were born to be a star. or at least that’s what you told yourself. maybe you were a bit in over your head, and maybe you were a bit self-obsessed, but you really did have talent and just maybe, you could make it. you studied acting, singing, and music ever since you were a child and idolized the hell out of celebrities, wanting nothing more than to become one someday.
so as soon as you could, you ditched that barren town and headed off to del sol valley to chase your dreams. you took acting gigs wherever you could find them, did street performances for extra money, and did everything you could to become a star.
believe it or not, it worked! the world was enthralled with your overwhelming presence and oozing passion. you married a fellow celebrity, climbed the social ladder, and it was great. but it was hollow. it wasn’t what you wanted. you wanted to make a change, do something bold and dramatic, but here you were living out a story which has been told a million times. you realized your life wasn’t all that different from the 9-5 suburban nightmare you witnessed as a child. the only difference was, you were followed around by paparazzi 24/7 and excessively coated yourself in luxury. you weren’t special.
having had this sudden realization, you spiraled into a state of mental anguish. and following the traditional story of a celebrity gone bad, the cameras caught it all. your reputation was destroyed, and this chapter of your life was buried with it.
but it wasn’t all bad. eventually you turned yourself around again. you did some reflecting and discovered where you true passions lied–not in the fame, but in the art and the message. life was fulfilling again. from now own, you only worked on small, indie, projects which you were truly passionate about and enjoyed a simpler, more freeing life, one which you realized you had desired all along.
traits: music lover, ambitious, self-absorbed
aspiration: world famous celebrity
career: actor
requirements:
master singing, acting, and the instrument of your choice’s skill
marry a fellow celebrity
reach at least level 3 fame status
have a positive reputation and then turn it into a negative one once you reach peak fame
only take one small gig per week once your reputation drops
6 | OPHELIA
“oh, ophelia, heaven help a fool who falls in love.”
you’re the child of lonely musicians. always in the limelight and always aware of what goes on in hollywood, you have a sour distaste for the environment. so, you leave to the countryside as soon as you can. you try as hard as you can to distance yourself from your former life, fully embracing the countryside lifestyle. take care of your farm, raise animals, make your own food, and help out your community.
you do have one fatal flaw, though: relationships. perhaps it’s due to growing up in the spotlight that you prefer to distance yourself from others. you have this enchanting, mysterious vibe that draws people in, but you never fully open up. you make people fall in love with you but never commit.
traits: loves outdoors, non-committal, gloomy
aspiration: country caretaker
career: gardener
other requirements:
master gardening, flower arranging, and herbalism skills
have simple living trait on your lot
live on a farm
never marry
have at least 3 relationships in your lifetime (it’s your choice who you want to have kids with)
7 | JOLENE
“your beauty is beyond compare with flamin' locks of auburn hair, with ivory skin and eyes of emerald green”
you’re the perfect golden child, a sweet country girl blessed with mesmerizing, good looks, adored by everyone around you. and you know you have to live up to their expectations and create the perfect life.
everyone falls for you and you have no problem leading them on and breaking their hearts. so long as you uphold your pristine image.
one day, you meet your ideal partner. they’re rich, have a nice job, look gorgeous next to you, and did i mention rich? but there’s one problem: they’re married. their spouse is no match for you, though. there’s nobody who hasn’t fallen for your charm, and you’ll get your perfect life, even if you have to destroy a marriage for it.
traits: romantic, materialistic, proper
aspiration: serial romantic (do not have to complete the whole aspiration, but you can if you want to add more of a challenge)
career: none (stay-at-home parent)
requirements:
master singing and cooking skill
break up a marriage by convincing someone to leave their spouse and marrying them
have 2 kids and only have a strong relationship with one of them (not the next heir)
8 | MICHELLE
“michelle, michelle, you are a monster from hell”
growing up in such a superficial household may have molded you into the manipulative, sadistic person you are today. how can they blame you? you saw your parents’ twisted relationship as love, you saw you and your sibling’s constant competing as normal, and you saw your mother’s distaste for you as justified. it’s really no surprise you turned out this way.
so, you take pleasure in putting people down at your job and ruining relationships in your free time. which is why you’re so appalled to find that you love the little bundle of joy who results from a one-night-stand. initially, having a child seemed like a burden to you and you expected to put them up for adoption as soon as they were born. but you find yourself unexpectedly attached and wanting to shelter them from the cruelness of the world–which you ironically contributed to. if only they didn’t push you away.
traits: romantic, evil, snob
aspiration: villainous valentine
career: critic
requirements:
master mischief skill
never marry (have a kid via hookup)
surprisingly love your kid nontheless
have a poor relationship with your mother
have an especially poor relationship with your sibling
9 | RHIANNON
“she is like a cat in the dark and then she is to darkness”
you’re whole family was full of drama. from your grandparents, to your mother, and your aunts/uncles. honestly, you can’t stand it and try to distance yourself from them as much as possible–not that it’s very difficult with your negligent mother who you’re pretty sure never meant for you to be born in the first place.
in your time alone, you read up on and become infatuated with the paranormal. you decide it’s what you’ll dedicate your life too, even if the rest of your family thinks you’re a bit crazy for it.
you don’t have very many friends, you don’t want a big family, you don’t even plan to have a relationship at all. that is until one day you meet a likeminded person who you just can’t shake off. you let them into your life and open yourself up to them and the two of you live a reclusive, and fulfilling (if slightly odd) life together.
it’s then that you’re faced with reality and realize how difficult it must’ve been for your parent to raise you all alone. you reach out to rekindle your relationship and welcome them back into your life.
oh, and also you really like cats.
traits: loner, bookworm, paranoid
aspiration: renaissance sim
career: freelance paranormal investigator
requirements:
master logic, wellness, and medium skills
must have at least one cat at all times
have only one kid
mend your relationship with your parent in adulthood
Have you ever wanted to live a life (and lives) like a celebrity? Then this challenge in made for you! In this one, I decided to play a little more with the Get Famous expansion pack, while giving some twists and turns to create a fun little narrative to follow along. I’m aware that some of the careers mentioned don’t provide any fame, but I decided to add it anyway for the sake of the plot. So, if you think it’s necessary, the Road To Fame Mod can help in some of these.
This is my first ever legacy challenge, and I haven’t seen any other like this, but if you feel like there are similarities with another, please let me know!
Obs.: Everything the mentioned below can be modified to your liking if you want to!
Packs Needed: Get Famous, Get to Work, Discover University, Parenthood (optional)
Rules:
- Start with less than $2000
- Cheats that don’t give any extra advantage over other players are allowed
- You must complete every goal before moving on to the heir
- There are no specific rules regarding who should be the heir, but if you want to, you can follow some of the rules from the original Legacy Challenge.
- Please give credits if you play this (@thewizardscore)

Since the beginning you promised to never follow into your parent’s footsteps, so the moment you found out you were going to have a kid, you promised to protect them fully, what also meant stepping off the spotlight.

During all your childhood, your parents’ job took up all their life. In your free time you unleashed your artistic self since the beginning, which was deeply condemned by your parents, who believed that art could never bring any type of success.

Without resentments, you decided to relax and open a business, always having your children’s well-being in mind. The success of the business provided a good and stable income and a bigger investment in your kids’ talents, which made you a perfect parent who was determined to give their kids everything they needed and more.

Looking back in the family legacy, you discover an unknown past which was hidden for years, deep inside the roots of Del Sol Valley. Investing all your time in theater classes, getting a drama degree and climbing all your way to the top, you tried everything possible to become famous like your ancestors and finally be the last one of their legacy.

"i'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror...it must be exhausting, always rooting for the anti-hero."
your family is a big, blended mess of people who aren't exactly the best, but they tried. and now it's your turn. you always wanted to be better than your siblings, but your parents always preached that all of you meant the same to them. can you prove your worth as the best to them and yourself?

Generation One: Pearl

You had been saving your money for as long as you can remember and could finally afford your first apartment!

You grew up in the city and you cannot wait to leave, you won't miss it! (well, except for the food) You move out to your own little slice of nature. You want to be able to make the best food with the finest ingredients. They say you don’t know where your food comes from, but you do... Your garden! You still can’t help but be worried about ‘Big Brother’ and the powers that are controlling the food market and manipulating the ‘Sheeple’. It’s okay though, you can dance your worries away!

You move to Sulani to join the conservation effort and live your dream life. You try to spread positivity and optimism about our planet to everyone you meet (Even though sometimes you find it hard to keep a smile on your face). You always wanted children but the sim-world is already so overpopulated that you only have one.

Colour: Green
Your parent shunned technology and limited power usage for the whole house, but you could not be more different. You love technology and can’t wait to see what advancements you can make. You can’t get enough, revelling in technology in all its forms. You never liked the ocean, the way the seaweed would cling to your feet YUCK! You hop on a flight to Britechester and you can tell you’re taking your first steps down the right path for you: a path paved in money and circuit boards.

Your handmade goods are super eco-friendly and simply the best around (if you do say so yourself).

Generation Six: Amber
Colour: Orange
Your parent was always having to pander to other people: begging for votes and listening to what other people wanted.. No thank you! You want to answer to no one, you should be your own boss (as well as everyone else's!). You join the business career because you know you can get your way to the tippy-top! In your free time you always listen to your mantra: Work hard, play harder. You’re famous for your legendary parties and everyone knows that when you show up (with your guitar, obviously) it’s going to be a BELTER! Who has time for a family on top of that?! Anyway, here’s Wonderwall...

Generation Seven: Garnet
Colour: Red
You did not see much of your parent growing up, it was almost as if they didn’t even like you..? You want to give your children a loving home, where there is no doubt how much you love them. Your twin sibling is your best friend in the whole world and you somehow still always manage a regular date-night with your spouse. You made an interesting choice for your career: parent by day and super spy by night! You overheard all about the kind of shady business dealings that happen behind closed doors as a child and now seek to use espionage for good! Being able to protect priceless art is also a bonus. Both sides of you require a level of calm and patience which is why you practice yoga to help keep you centered.

Generation Eight: Onyx
Colour: Black
You were raised to believe that you could do anything, and you were absolutely doted on by your parent. Which may have meant that you grew up not taking much responsibility for your actions... (or your messes, oops!). You want every sim to know your name: you want billboards and millions of followers and everything else! You move to Del Sol Valley and work hard to become one of the best-known actors in the world. You also make sure you upload regular videos updating your fans on your favourite fanfics, ships and theories.

Generation Nine: Rose Quartz
Colour: Pink
You grew up in your parent’s shadow, the spotlight always on them. You needed to get away from the press and the fans that followed your family. The only companionship you could rely on was that of your pets (and snacks of course). You love every animal you ever meet, they just get you. You never feel like you can connect with people as easily as you can with your patients. You open your own vet clinic to help as many animals as you can!

Info by AngelOfFallen, Sweet Tsuyu and Legacy Challenge but I readapted some aspects.
💛 LEGACY EVANS 💛
Rules:
No cheats.
No restarting after bad events.
Paint a portrait of the heir from every generation.
Choose the heir by any means you want unless Heir Law (Clumsy trait).
Laws:
Gender Law:
Equality. Both boys and girls are eligible for the title of heir.
Bloodline Law:
Traditional. Children who are naturally born from the previous generation are eligible to be named heir. Adopted children are ineligible to be named heir unless there are no naturally born children, at which point they become eligible for that generation.
Heir Law:
Exemplar. At the beginning of the challenge, name a single trait (Clumsy). This trait must be one of your founder’s three traits.. Any eligible heir that has this trait will gain the title of heir. If a single generation has no children with this trait follow the First Born rule. If more than one child has the Exemplar trait then the oldest child WITH the trait will be the heir.
Species Law:
Tolerant. The species of the child has no impact on their eligibility for heir status.
Family Tree
Gen 1 | Gen 2 | Gen 3 | Gen 4 | Gen 5 | Gen 6 | Gen 7: soon!
The following are the specific rules that apply to the planetary legacy and each consecutive generation. All of these were inspired by other legacy challenges and posted here so that others can have their own planetary legacy. I play on a long life span and start a new generation when the heir reaches the teen life stage. Each season is a chapter and of course, nothing is ever set in stone.
