KALEIDOSCOPE: A Sims 4 Legacy Challenge
The basic premise of this legacy challenge I created randomly is that each generation is based off of 10 of the EA hair colors & is loosely inspired by the Not So Berry Challenge that everyone has either played, watched someone played or just heard of. That challenge is very old & The Sims 4 has evolved a lot as a game so this is basically an updated version of it but based on the EA hair colors so that it's easier to play with for simmers who don't use cc or who play on console. Also please note that the colors of the font don't always line up as Tumblr only has a few selected colors I can use & I don't know how to get more lol. I hope you all enjoy this challenge & let me know if any parts of the challenge are not working/broken as I will update it then!
This challenge requires:
EP's: Get to Work, Get Together, City Living, Cats & Dogs, Seasons, Get Famous, Discover University, Eco Lifestyle, Snowy Escape, High School Years, Growing Together, Horse Ranch, Lovestruck + Life & Death
GP's: Vampires, Realm of Magic, Strangerville
SP's: Paranormal
BASIC RULES FOR EVERY GENERATION:
The heir of each generation can be of any gender, sexual orientation, etc. and can date/marry any sim, unless there are specific rules stated regarding this
Unless stated in the rules, where each generation lives, what type of residential lot they live on, what traits the home lot has, how many children an heir has, how many pets an heir has, what other skills they gain/master, whether the heir goes to university or not, etc. are completely up to the player to decide
The traits stated for each generation are the traits the heirs need to have
Cheats are allowed; It is your personal game play so play it how you enjoy!
The recommended lifespan is "Normal" and the next generation shall begin once all requirements of the previous one are completed and the next heir is a Young Adult (the founder must also start as a Young Adult)
Throughout each generation, maintain the ghost of the founder sim (this is important to complete this legacy challenge entirely)
Feel free to change the requirements up if you don't have all required packs or just wanna do something different! I made this based on gameplay mechanics I have and never really use, so that is why there is no For Rent gameplay mechanics as I don't have that pack. But if you do have For Rent & don't have say Lovestruck, you could make Generation Pink based off of For Rent, etc. This is a challenge you can edit & shape to what you have and want to play with!
