Not So Berry Extended

I finished the Not So Berry Challenge but wanted to continue for a few more generations because I adore my family. So I’ve written up my own version of things I want to do and accomplish per generation. Now this is a small extension most likely 3 generations that will be updated as I play. Rules may be subject to change whether that be adding or removing things, bc I am playtesting all of this currently.

If you want to follow and watch my playthrough of my Not So Berry Extended, you can do so HERE. ♥

Hope you enjoy and have fun with it! 

Generation 11: White 

From a young age you grew a fascination with acting, the idea of being able to step away from reality and take on a role of someone else excited you. So with the supportive parents you had, they enrolled you in drama club for the entirety of your school life. You begin to strive for something more, becoming a global superstar actor! With focusing so much on your career, keeping serious romantic relationships is difficult because you always prioritize work over love. You eat, breathe, sleep acting and you were happy keeping it that way. But with a one night stand gone wrong... you find out you are now left with an unplanned child. 

Traits: Self-Absorbed // Music Lover // Non-Committal

Aspiration: Master Actor

Career: Actor

Goals:

enroll in drama club as a child and teen + get promoted to junior artiste (lvl.4)

have at least 1 celebrity best friend

never get married

have a one night stand and “accidentally” get pregnant/impregnate the sim* - this will be your only child

side note: if you don’t have access to custom content feel free to use silver hair in replacement for white and dress them in white if you please

Generation 12: Brown

Growing up in the shadows of your parents spotlight was a little hard on you. Although you knew how much they loved you and tried their best to spend every free moment with you, you still felt...alone. Thankfully being a part of the scouts club gave you a sense of family, which you deeply cherished. Scouts club also made you truly fall in love with the outdoors. Being out in nature didn’t make you feel like you were so alone anymore, which is why camping became something you loved to do. There were tales that in the Deep Woods of Granite Falls a hermit resides away from everyone, so naturally the curious bean you were you had to find out for yourself. Forever alone felt like a motto you started to live by and thought you’d never get married like your parent, but someone finally came along and you were really happy with the way life was heading. Unfortunately down the road things didn’t end up working out. You’ve always secretly had this crazy idea of making a robot best friend since you were a kid. The thought of having a robot who was there for you every waking moment felt like something you needed in your life, so it was time to make a crazy idea… a reality!

Traits:  Loves the Outdoors // Loner // Erratic

Aspiration:  Outdoor Enthusiast

Career:  Gardener

go into the deep woods > meet and befriend the hermit

Generation 13: Black

Ahh books… you love em! You always enjoyed a good read that could take you on a journey in a whole new fantasy world. So naturally starting a book club at school to share your love for reading was the thing to do. Thanks to the club it brought you your best friend, who you later fall in love with and get engaged to. Instead of going off to university like everyone else you got convinced to join the military, but that didn’t last long so you quit and went off to study psychology. Whilst away at uni you discovered the Encyclopedia Vampirica, and got extremely curious about vampires to the point you took a trip over to Forgotten Hollow to find out if they were real. You end up meeting a vampire who you become completely mesmerized with and fall in love so quick as if you were put under a spell. This is where you decide to ask “could I be turned into one?” Without hesitation their teeth sink into your neck and the process of you turning has begun. You decide to drop out of university and call off the engagement because you have fallen for another and want to live out your new vampire life. Becoming a Simlish online teacher was your only option after dropping out of uni, and with working from home you had more time to yourself so you started writing your own books. Unfortunately your job started to feel mundane, so you have the bright idea of running your own business! Not being able to have children has always upset you, but with your new powers creating your own vampire family is only one step away...

Not So Berry Extended Challenge

After playing through the Not So Berry Challenge twice, I decided to make my own extended version of the challenge so I could keep playing for ten more generations (although there is an optional endpoint after five gens)!

3/17/2022 Update: I’ve finished my playthrough of this challenge, so the rules that are here are official and final! Check my page for posts about how the challenge went for me. I had a lot of fun with it!

4/16/2022 Update: I will be playing the original Not So Berry Challenge and this extended version of the challenge on YouTube! If you are interested in following along, the link to my YouTube is in my profile!

Enjoy! ♥

Note: This post will also be saved as a page on my profile for ease of reference.

Generation 11: Beige

Growing up in a household with too many children and a sometimes-overbearing parent made you sure of one thing: You never want to have kids. Instead, you’ve chosen to dedicate your life to your career as a salaryperson, spending the majority of your time at work, schmoozing your boss during happy hour, or singing karaoke with your friends. Of course, life doesn’t always go as planned. Eventually, you find yourself raising an unexpected child. To be fair, the nanny does most of the raising, but you’re still a parent. You try to distract yourself from this unfortunate reality by throwing extravagant parties for your friends and family (excluding any children, of course), along with the occasional birthday party for your child (you’re not a monster, after all). At least all the time you spend working means you have the money to ensure your kid never wants for anything…except your affection.

Traits: Outgoing, Hates Children, Ambitious

Aspiration: Party Animal

Career: Salaryperson

Rules:

Have one (unplanned) child

Master the charisma and singing skills

Master the salaryperson career and complete the Party Animal aspiration

As a young adult, start a karaoke club and become close friends with all club members

Earn gold in at least three different types of social events (for example, dinner party, house party, and wedding)

Hire a full-time nanny to raise your child

Generation 12: Rainbow

Spending your formative years in a household where you felt unwanted did not make for the happiest childhood, but you found ways to get through it—mostly by creating art, getting lost in books about fantasy worlds, playing your violin, and telling jokes to your nanny (as well as your imaginary friends). You’ve always loved colorful things, so it makes sense that you grow up to be an artist. Painting is your passion, and you long to share your love of art with someone as creative as you. Of course, your soulmate will have to accept your…eccentricity. But then, what great artist isn’t a little eccentric?

Traits: Art Lover, Bookworm, Erratic

Aspiration: Soulmate

Career: Painter

Rules:

Master the painting, violin, and comedy skills

Master the painter career and complete the Soulmate aspiration

As a child, become best friends with your nanny

Marry an art lover or creative Sim

Live in at least three different worlds

Enter the Sylvan Glade in Willow Springs and paint a picture from reference there

Generation 13: Black

Your parents always encouraged you to be creative and express yourself, even when you chose to do this by wearing only black and being brutally honest at all times. Since you were a child, you’ve had a nasty habit of taking things that don’t belong to you, but you’re smart enough to avoid getting caught…most of the time. As an adult, you can’t seem to help but cause heartbreak and misery wherever you go. You also happen to have a serious addiction to fizzy juice. Still, you manage to become successful in the legal field by putting on a mask at work. It’s your ultimate fantasy to play the puppet master of those around you, and what better way to do that than by sentencing others to their fates and breaking up couples in your spare time? You may be haunted by the ghosts of your past misdeeds on occasion, but you would never change who you are—it’s too much fun being mean!

Traits: Kleptomaniac, Mean, Noncommittal

Aspiration: Villainous Valentine

Career: Law (Judge)

Rules:

Master the mischief and juice fizzing skills

Master the law career and complete the Villainous Valentine aspiration

Become enemies with benefits with at least one Sim during your lifetime (or max the negative friendship bar and positive romance bar, if the game refuses to give you the sentiment…)

Have a Sim die on your lot and keep their urn/grave on the lot for the rest of your life (you are not allowed to release their spirit)

Have at least two children with at least two different partners

Generation 14: Silver

You spent much of your childhood alone in your room, tinkering with things and avoiding hurtful comments about your appearance from your parent. You struggled to make friends as a child and to date as a teen due to your insecurity, but you finally find your place when you achieve your dream of going to university. At Foxbury, surrounded by other lovers of learning, you feel like you belong. Nothing will stop you from putting in the work to graduate at the top of your class, but you also make time to participate in club activities (and party). As an adult, you manage to create the popular club everyone wants to join. Suddenly it seems like you’re successful at everything you do, from making things for work or for fun, to making your club world-renowned. The only thing you’re missing is a best friend and confidante. Maybe the solution is to make one!

Traits: Genius, Maker, Insider

Aspiration: Academic

Career: Engineer

Rules:

Master the fabrication and robotics skills

Master the engineer career and complete the Academic aspiration

Attend Foxbury Institute and join the Bot Savants

Build a Servo and become best friends (or more) with them

Note: You may use mods to speed up university or pause time while your Sim is at university if you dislike this aspect of the gameplay

Generation 15: Gold

Your family is weird. Growing up, every surface in your house was always covered in robotics parts and homemade candles. You long to live a life far from this constant clutter—a life of luxury, surrounded by beautiful things. From a young age, you know you’ll achieve your dream of being a rich and famous influencer/model/DJ, because everyone loves you. How could they not? You’re perfect! In truth, you prefer to be alone most of the time—posting updates about your day from the comfort of your own home—but you also enjoy flaunting your stylish looks and talent for your adoring fans. Everyone wants to know every detail about your life. They want to look like you, dress like you—really, to be you! The only thing that could make your life more perfect is if you could stay young and beautiful forever…if only there were a way.

Traits: Loner, Self-Absorbed, Materialistic

Aspiration: Fabulously Wealthy

Career: Style Influencer (Trend Setter)

Rules:

Master the photography, DJ mixing, and media production skills

Master the style influencer career and complete the Fabulously Wealthy aspiration

Become a Global Superstar (five-star celebrity)

Marry and divorce a celebrity; then, marry one of your fans

Become a Junior Artiste (level four of the Drama Club) as a child/teen

Once you become a young adult, you must live in Del Sol Valley for the rest of your life

Optional: Become a vampire as a young adult (after you have the next heir, if you choose to do so) and live forever (or die in a fiery blaze of glory by burning to death in the sunlight, if you choose to end the challenge here)

Generation 16: Aquamarine

You were born into a life of extravagance, but the money and things never mattered to you. All you ever wanted to do was spend your days at the beach, relaxing on the sand and swimming in the ocean. You care deeply about the environment and aspire to make the world a better and more beautiful place. As soon as you’re old enough, you move to Sulani, leaving behind your family’s wealth (and your strangely youthful parent). Living on the island, you seek to become accepted by the locals by helping to make your new surroundings cleaner and even more peaceful. You will do anything to feel at home by the ocean…or in it.

Traits: Child of the Ocean, Loves Outdoors, Vegetarian

Aspirations: Beach Life, Inner Peace

Career: Conservationist

Rules:

Master the fitness and wellness skills

Master the conservationist career and complete the Beach Life and Inner Peace aspirations

Move to Sulani as a young adult with 10,000 simoleons maximum

Clean up the island (if you haven’t already in your current save)

Eat Mermadic Kelp and become a mermaid

Become enemies with a Fish Poacher, Litterbug, or Anti-Environmentalist (Optional: Use your mermaid’s powers (Siren’s Call, Summon Ocean Threat, etc.) to torment and possibly drown your enemy)

Generation 17: Brown

Like your parent, you’ve always loved the outdoors and cared a lot about the environment, but the beach was never really your scene. As a child, you constantly begged your parent to take you camping in Granite Falls. You love collecting things, especially living things to which you can give a home. You’re actually a lover of all animals, but dogs have always been your favorite. You know you’d be perfectly content living in a shack with your dog and surviving on the food you forage and find in trash cans, and the money you make from selling collectables and doing odd jobs—so that’s exactly what you choose to do! The shack might begin to feel a little cramped once your family starts to grow, but the love you give your kids is enough to make up for their, shall we say…humble…upbringing. Right?

Traits: Dog Lover, Freegan, Green Fiend

Aspiration: The Curator

Career: Odd Jobs

Rules:

Master the fishing and pet training skills

Achieve an odd jobs rating of five stars and complete The Curator aspiration

Once you become a young adult, you must live in a tiny house with the Off-the-Grid lot challenge for the rest of your life (if you don’t have the Tiny Living pack, you must live on a 20x20 lot)

Become best friends with the hermit in Granite Falls

Have at least two children

Complete the Fish, Frogs, or Insects Collection (or all three, if you’re feeling ambitious)

Generation 18: White

You grew up in a home with very little personal space, but it wasn’t all bad. Your family instilled a love of the outdoors in you from a young age, sending you to join the scouts as a child (since they couldn’t afford much else to keep you entertained). You have fond memories of camping trips to Granite Falls with your family, especially during the winter. You’ve always loved the snow, and the cold never bothered you anyway. You dream of becoming a professional snowboarder, making a living and fulfilling your adrenaline-junkie tendencies at the same time…but living in borderline poverty as a child made you a bit too much of a realist for that. Instead, you choose to get your thrills from working as a secret agent…and snowboarding and climbing mountains in your spare time. Your go-go-go attitude makes you a bit impulsive, but what’s life without a little risk? You only live once, after all.

Traits: Active, Adventurous, Bro

Aspiration: Extreme Sports Enthusiast

Career: Secret Agent

Rules:

Master the snowboarding and rock climbing skills

Master the secret agent career and complete the Extreme Sports Enthusiast aspiration

Become a Llamacorn (level five) Scout as a child/teen

Marry another Sim within three days of meeting them

Become snow bros with at least three other Sims

Generation 19: Lilac

Your parent always tried to get you into extreme sports as a child, but you were never interested. You preferred more delicate things—like flowers—and activities with a lower likelihood of causing you to injure yourself, or worse…break a nail. You’re the first to admit you’re a bit high maintenance, but you think you’re worth it. You’ve always been a great friend and confidante to others, including your cats. Some people may call you a crazy cat Sim, but you’re not crazy. You just want things to be done a certain way—the proper way. What’s the harm in that? Of course, if someone happens to get in your way…can you really be held responsible for your actions?

Traits: Cat Lover, High Maintenance, Proper

Aspiration: Neighborhood Confidante

Career: Gardener

Rules:

Master the gardening and flower arranging skills

Master the gardener career and complete the Neighborhood Confidante aspiration

Have at least ten good friends (including at least three of your neighbors) and one enemy

Marry one of your friends and gift them with a flower arrangement scented with tulip

Gift your enemy with a flower arrangement scented with death flower (for a less extreme option, gift them with a flower arrangement scented with snapdragon)

As an adult, have at least three cats (preferably strays that you adopt) and become companions with all of them

Generation 20: Burgundy

Your childhood home always smelled like flowers. This wasn’t a bad thing, but you’ve always preferred things that smell good and taste good—namely, food. From a young age, you’ve been obsessed with creating the perfect version of your favorite food—grilled cheese. What could be better? You go so far as to train as a chef in your quest to perfecting this one dish. If you stumble along the way to your goal, you might throw a tantrum or two, but your childish nature also makes you optimistic. At your heart, you’re a good person—in fact, you’re so kind, you would even befriend Death itself—with a simple dream. Once you’ve perfected the grilled cheese, your new aim is to find someone to share your sandwiches with. You struggle to meet the right match, though, so you might end up having to look a little farther to find someone…out of this world.

Traits: Good, Childish, Foodie

Aspiration: Master Chef, Grilled Cheese

Career: Culinary

Rules:

Master the cooking and rocket science skills

Master the culinary career and complete the Master Chef and (secret) Grilled Cheese aspirations

Become friends with the Grim Reaper

Travel to Sixam and find an alien to marry there

Optional: Open a restaurant (preferably one that is grilled-cheese-themed)

Not So Berry Extended (TS3)

Read First! [Thank you <3]

To start off, I didn’t make the original challenge. The original NSB challenge was made by @lilsimsie and @alwaysimming. The extended version was made by @neecxle, and I’m going to be using Neecxle’s extended version to ‘convert’ it to TS3. The original NSB challenge has already been ‘converted’ for TS3 by lilsimsie herself, so I thought why not do the extended version for TS3 too! 

Please keep in mind that some rules aren’t going to be exact, and I might reduce the challenge rules when it comes to something like skills depending on what TS3 has to offer. For example, in TS4 the singing skill that came with city living is an actual skill itself, and not a hidden skill like in the TS3. So technically in TS3, you’re not ‘leveling it up’ but instead just getting good at singing. Some skills for TS3 are store bought content like the dancing skill, unlike TS4 when the dancing skill came with Get Together. Another thing to add, some traits for these gens might not have the corresponding colors, unlike previous generations.  

Here are links to the original version(s) of the challenge:

Not So Berry (TS4): NSBTS4 

Not So Berry (TS3): NSBTS3

Not So Berry Extended (TS4): NSBETS4

Anyways, Onto The Challenge Rules!

So with the supportive parents you had, they enrolled you in drama club for the entirety of your high school life. You begin to strive for something more, becoming a global superstar actor! With focusing so much on your career, keeping serious romantic relationships is difficult because you always prioritize work over love. You eat, breathe, sleep acting and you were happy keeping it that way. But with a one night stand gone wrong… you find out you are now left with an unplanned child.

Although you knew how much they loved you and tried their best to spend every free moment with you, you still felt…alone. Thankfully being a part of the scouts club gave you a sense of family, which you deeply cherished. Scouts club also made you truly fall in love with the outdoors. Being out in nature didn’t make you feel like you were so alone anymore, which is why camping/traveling became something you loved to do. There were tales that there were hidden temples and tombs all over the world, so naturally the curious bean you were you had to find out for yourself. Forever alone felt like a motto you started to live by and thought you’d never get married like your parent, but someone finally came along and you were really happy with the way life was heading. Unfortunately down the road things didn’t end up working out. You’ve always secretly had this crazy idea of making a robot best friend since you were a kid.

Thanks to the library it brought you your best friend, who you later fall in love with and get engaged to. Instead of going off to university like everyone else you got convinced to join the military, but that didn’t last long so you quit and went off to study communications.

Not So Berry Extended

I was inspired to write out a few more generations for the Not So Berry Challenge! I’m currently playing it in my spare time as a Vampire Not so Berry (cause why not?) and i’m having a lot of fun playing it and watching others play through the challenge! If you’d like to see more of these or maybe another version of Not So Berry Extended but with more of the careers then please let me know!

NOTE: This hasn’t been play-tested! If whatever’s listed below is impossible to complete please let me know and i’ll make the needed changes!

Gen 11: Black

(Requires Snowy Escape, Get Famous, Parenthood)

Growing up, you always thought you had the perfect life: You had the dream house, the dream family. Until one day you found out that your mother/father/parent had a secret affair. This completely broke you and in order to cope with the news, you decided to become a rebel. I mean, don’t we all go through a rebellious phase in our lives? Your whole perspective on life went 360: you changed your sense of style, your personality, etc. all at once. At least you had the great outdoors giving you comfort during your “everlasting phase”! Your favorite season was Winter because you could ski/snowboard all day, everyday. And what about those dreams you had of becoming a famous skier/snowboarder? Well we can do that too!

Traits: Hot-Headed (give as a teenager), Active, Self-Assured

Aspiration: Extreme Sports Enthusiast

Career: Manuel Laborer, Ski/Snowboarding YouTuber (once you reach Level 10 of Ski/Snowboarding)

Rules:

Must enter “rebellious phase” either at the end of childhood or beginning of being a teenager (you don’t need PH for this, it’s just apart of storytelling) (this is when the black color of this gen. should occur)

Must get the Argumentative, Insensitive and Uncontrolled Emotions Character Value traits (PH)

Must max either the Skiing or Snowboarding skill (SE)

Must enter the Manuel Laborer job as a teenager and stay in that job

Once your able to create Snowboarding videos, you must make your money off of your videos only

Reach at least Rising Star of Celebrity level (GF)

B-Lister is preferred but since getting fame with Get Famous is hard as it is Rising Star is ok

Must move to Mt. Komorebi (SE)

Gen 12: Dark Academia

(requires Get to Work, Nifty Knitting) Your mother/father/parent was one of the most famous skier/snowboarders in Mt. Komorebi. She/He/They always encouraged you to spend your time outdoors and take in the fresh air. Yet, you preferred to spend your time indoors, curled up in bed with your tea and book in hand. You craved to enter the fictional worlds you’ve read in your books from a young age. When you entered high school, you found your love for the arts and decided that you’d become an artist. At least then you could bring the worlds you’ve read to life on a canvas! And why not have a little snack while we’re at it? You can just learn some new foods you can make through cooking books after all!

Traits: Bookworm, Creative, Art Lover

Aspiration: Painter Extraordinaire

Career: Stay-at-Home Painter, Painter career (⚠️Only if you get offered the job⚠️)

Rules:

Must complete the Painter Extraordinaire aspiration

Must max out Painting skill, Cooking or Gourmet Cooking skill and Photography skill (GTW)

Must make your money through your paintings only

if you get a call about joining the Painter career, you must accept

Must move into a “rundown” lot/apartment with only a kitchen, bathroom, and a bed (and maybe your books if you want but you can’t sell these for money)

your funds when you move out after moving into your house must be $60

(this will be enough for your painting and some extra money to spend elsewhere)

Must have a library in your house

Must have 3 kids (biological or adopted)

spouse must be employed as a Salaryperson and/or Business career (recommended if it’s game generated but you can give them either job yourself)

can only marry partner towards the end of adulthood

Must purchase Knitting Skill Book 1 from bookshelf (NK)

Gen 13: Pastel

(requires Nifty Knitting, Get To Work, Get Together) Your family was pretty stable for the most part. Sure, you may have had trouble paying the bills here and there but what mattered most is that your family was together. Even though you enjoyed your mother/father/parent’s love for Forrest Green, Rosy Brown and overall Earthy tones you felt like you needed a bit more color in your life. And by color, you mean bright and colorful. One day while going through your mother/father/parent’s library you discovered a book on knitting. Figuring your mother/father/parent spent all of their time cooking and painting anyways you decided to take the book and learn how to knit. Yet, knitting cute decor and beanies isn’t going to put food on the table and a roof over your head. Guess running your own business is going to have to wait. Oh yeah, you also have a weird obsession with the letter B...

Traits: Perfectionist, Cheerful, Childish

Aspiration: Lady/Lord of the Knits

I went to school for engineering to only end up in a creative field. Granted I didn’t look like the conventional civil student so there’s that. Maybe it was always embedded in me.

[blackhypothesis]

In 1971 at Purdue University, engineering student Anthony Harris noticed an alarming number of Black engineering freshmen and sophomores dropping out of school. In order to address this problem, he along with 5 other classmates created a Black student group called Society of Black Engineers (SBE) with the mission to recruit and retain students. The “Chicago Six” expanded these efforts nationally and SBE would later be known as the National Society of Black Engineers (#NSBE). This organization has been monumental in supporting Black engineering students during their studies and ensuring they excel professionally.
