The Sims 4 Packs Based Legacy Challenge
This is a challenge for those who enjoy goal-based legacies like the Not So Berry and Whimsy Legacy Challenges and looking to explore the stuff, game, and expansion packs in depth. If you are anything like me, you probably have a few expansions that you have purchased but have yet to fully explore. This challenge aims to change that.
I understand that not everyone may own all the packs, in fact, some people may only own base game. For that reason, I have also created The Base Game Legacy Challenge, a base game friendly version of The Packs Based Legacy made to fit interchangeably with one another. Both challenges can be completed individually or used interchangeably to create the perfect challenge that works for you.
Generation 1: Dream Home Decorator
Growing up, you never understood how others just knew what they wanted to be when they were older. How could anyone, in a world of possibilities, just know? Know enough to graduate high school, attend college, and apply for that one specific career they knew would make them happy for the rest of their lives? I mean, you certainly didn’t.
Luckily for you though, as you were debating on whether you would attend college to please your parents or take that year off to try and “find yourself” you receive notice that you inherited a house in Willow Creek by your great-great-aunt. It wasn’t long after high school graduation that you were saying goodbye to your old life and headed off to Willow Creek. Only to discover the house was in less-than-ideal conditions.
Over the next several years, you take up odd jobs as you continue to search for something to entice you. Until one day your friend suggests you become an interior designer after noticing how you light up when discussing the remodeling of your home. And suddenly, everything clicks.
Aspiration(s): Friend of the World – you are starting over and aspire to make many new friends
Traits: Gloomy, Creative, and a trait of your choosing
Goals: Create a young adult sim in CAS and move them into a fixer upper house in Willow Creek (you can build this house or download one from the gallery – use free real estate cheat to afford it, if necessary). Once your sim is moved in, cheat their household funds down to $600. You never had a job in high school because your parents wanted you to focus on your studies. And when you made the decision not to go to college, they cut you off completely leaving you with only the tiny amount of birthday cash you accumulated over your childhood. You must make friends with at least one sim from the welcome wagon as they will become the friend that suggests you become an interior designer in the future. Eventually fall in love with and marry a client. Produce at least one heir.
Take as many odd jobs as needed to fully remodel one room in your new home before joining the interior decorator career (optional).
Complete home decorator career.
Cannot cheat money beside initial move in.
Must fully renovate inherited house over your sims lifetime and never move out.
Generation 2: Paranormal (with an optional add-on layer of Vampires)
You were raised by loving parents in a beautiful home. You saw how much pride your mother (or father) had for the house they turned into a home and wanted to feel that same sense of joy for your own home, so you purchase a fixer upper when you move out. You soon discover your house is haunted. You dedicate your life to connecting with and understanding these spirits. You aspire to help others who find themselves struggling in the same situation.
Aspiration(s): Aspiration of your choosing
Traits: Perfectionist, Clumsy, and a trait of your choosing
Goals: Must purchase a haunted house preferably one that needs a bit of a renovation upon aging into young adulthood. Again, you may cheat to purchase this house (as the house should be a steal due to its haunted nature) OR you can use the Simcity Loans mod and take out a loan for this house as an investment into your future (and a little extra challenge). Once you have completed at least two jobs in each of the three levels of the paranormal career, you may purchase the brave reward trait. Like the previous generation, you raise your child(ren) in the house you have made into a home.
Live in a haunted house your entire life (after moving out of your parents’ home).
Become a paranormal investigator and do at least one active gig a week.
If you feel so inclined, you may summon Bonehilda regularly to clean your home, but you may not hire a traditional maid service or repairman as no one would willingly come to your haunted home.
Limit the number of guests you have over for the same reason.
Become best friends with Guidry and attempt to befriend Temperance.
****Optional Add-on Layer for Generation 2****
Not long after moving into your new home you begin to realize your neighbors are not amongst the living. Some of them are nice while others can be quite scary, all of whom you find fascinating. You grow curious and dedicate your life to understanding these creatures. Over time you become so intrigued you seek to become a vampire yourself only to discover it gets quite lonely watching everyone around you grow old while you stay young, so you seek to create your very own vampire family.
The haunted house you purchase is in Forgotten Hollow and have the Vampire Nexus lot trait.
Aspiration becomes Master Vampire, Good Vampire and Vampire Family which you can work on simultaneously.
Generation 2: Vampires Only
You were raised by loving parents in a beautiful home. You saw how pride your mother (or father) had for the house they turned into a home and wanted to feel that same sense of joy for your own home, so you purchase a fixer upper when you move out (or better yet, a house that was clearly abandoned, though you’re not sure why). You soon realize your new neighbors are not amongst the living. Some of them are nice while others can be quite scary, all of whom you find fascinating. You grow curious and dedicate your life to understanding these creatures. Over time you become so intrigued you seek to become a vampire yourself only to discover it gets quite lonely watching everyone around you grow old while you stay young, so you seek to create your very own vampire family.
Aspiration(s): Master Vampire, Good Vampire, and Vampire Family
Traits: Perfectionist, Clumsy, and a trait of your choosing
Goals: Must purchase a “haunted” or abandoned looking house preferably one that needs a bit of a renovation upon aging into young adulthood. Again, you may cheat to purchase this house (the house should be a steal as it has been on the market for a long time) OR you can use the Simcity Loans mod and take out a loan for this house as an investment into your future (and a little extra challenge). Like the previous generation, you raise your child(ren) in the house you have made into a home.

Optional: Cure yourself of vampirism after completing all other requirements for this generation as you realize your newfound immortality means watching your own child(ren) getting old and dying before you.
Generation 3: Snowy Escape
Being raised in a haunted house (with a parent who was in debt almost their entire life – if you go down that route), was not ideal. You loved your parents, but you could not wait to get away, far, far away. You move to Mt. Komorebi and buy a house you can afford on your own. You take a career as a salaryperson. However, your life isn’t all work, how could it be when you live in such a beautiful world? You take up snowboarding, skiing, or rock climbing as a hobby on your time off and make it a point to go hiking at least once a week. You are also very involved in the town’s festivals.
Aspiration(s): Mt. Komorebi Sightseer and Extreme Sports Enthusiast
Traits: Adventurous, Proper, and Hates Children
Goals: After growing up in a haunted house, you longed for a sense of normalcy. You did not feel that was accomplishable living anywhere near your parents so you moved to Mt. Komorebi where you would fall in love with the culture. You never got over the resentment you had for your parents raising you in a home that terrified you which led to not wanting children of your own. Unfortunately, birth control isn’t 100% accurate. You take a job as a salaryperson because it sounds like the most ordinary job you can do, and you desperately wanted that stability. You spend your free time going on sporting adventures, hiking, and participating in festivals as they provide you with a feeling of community which you never had growing up.
Complete Salaryperson career.
Master skiing, snowboarding, or rock climbing.
Complete both Mt. Komorebi Sightseer and Extreme Sports Enthusiast.

You may hire maids and repairmen if you can afford it.
Only have one child your entire life “by accident” (You may cheat for twins if you want to experience gameplay for both sides in Batuu – this is completely optional and only if you have Batuu).
Generation 4: Star Wars and Nifty Knitting (basemental drugs recommended)
Your parent was a workaholic, and when they weren’t at the office, they were too busy at a festival or off on a sporting adventure to notice you. It wasn’t that your parent didn’t love you, they just weren’t very maternal (or paternal). This left you alone most of the time, often contemplating life itself and why you had a parent that would prefer not to be there for you the way they should have been. Your thoughts become too much and eventually you decide to try pot as you’ve heard it can be quite calming. Eventually you find yourself dabbling into every drug you can get your hands on and live for the escapism. You start to envision an alternate universe where you can be in control, where you’re needed, where you can escape reality… and you like to knit.
** For those that do not use basemental drugs your sim will go down a different but similar route. Instead of dabbling into drugs, you will dabble into mischief and fantasy. As a teenager you begin acting out in an attempt to get your parents attention, unfortunately, your efforts do not succeed. You imagine a world where you are in control, where you are needed, where people never ignore you, where you can escape reality. You travel there often.**
Aspiration(s): Psychonaut (if using Basemental Drugs) otherwise Chief of Mischief
Batuu Aspirations: Hope Vs Order and then depending on the side you choose, you’ll complete the Batuu aspiration that suits you
Traits: Erratic, Glutton and Goofball (Replace goofball with Clubber if using Basemental Drugs)

You do not have to complete the psychonaut or chief of mischief aspirations, but you may for the added challenge. When not in Batuu, you love to knit while listening to metal music in your rocking chair as it helps relax you. You join the criminal career as another attempt to get your parents attention.

Obtain mischief level 5 or higher.

Generation 4: Strangerville (and Nifty Knitting, if owned)
Your parent was a workaholic, and when they weren’t at the office, they were too busy at a festival or off on a sporting adventure to notice you. It wasn’t that your parent didn’t love you, they just weren’t very maternal (or paternal). This left you alone most of the time, often contemplating life itself and why you had a parent that would prefer not to be there for you the way they should have been. Your thoughts become too much and when you become a teen decide the only way to gain your parents attention is to cause chaos, so they have no choice but to acknowledge you. You dream of an alternate universe where you can be in control, where you’re needed, where you can escape reality… and you like to knit (if you do not own Nifty Knitting, omit that). Right as you are aging into a young adult, you hear of a town called Strangerville and how it needs a hero, you decide you will be that hero and move there.
Aspiration(s): Chief of Mischief
Strangerville Aspiration: Strangerville Mystery
Traits: Erratic, Paranoid, and Goofball

You join the military career as a final attempt to get your parent’s attention, surely, they’d be proud of you defending your country. But when you become an adult, you quit your career and try to make a living selling what you knit on Plopsy as you have outgrown the desire of gaining your parents attention (if you do not own Nifty Knitting, you never quit your career).
Must live in Strangerville.

Generation 5: Eco Lifestyle
Your parent was a little erratic and the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. You are just as ridiculous as the person who raised you, just in a different way. While your parent was focused on making Batuu (or Strangerville) a better place, you aspire to make the real world a better place the best way you know how. Recycling, reusing, and living off the grid. Who needs electricity anyway?
Aspiration(s): Eco Innovator
Traits: Freegan, Green Fiend, and Maker
Goals: When you become a young adult, you move to The Shipping Views in Evergreen Harbor where you have bulldozed the original lot and created a 12 x 4 completely empty container home. Then cheat your household funds to zero (because who doesn’t love a good rags to riches?) The idea is that you were overly certain you didn’t need material positions to bring you joy so you moved out with nothing and found an abandoned shipping container you would seek shelter in.

Generation 6: Tiny Living and Discover University
As a child, you were not a fan of your parent’s lifestyle. Digging in the trash for treasure was not your idea of fun. In fact, it was really embarrassing. And your grandparent off in Batuu (or Strangerville)… You just needed out. You knew at a young age the only way to accomplish this was to work hard and get into a good university. As a teenager you took on a part time job to help save for college, however, once you reached the top of your career, you felt like you were no longer being challenged and switched jobs.
Aspiration(s): Academic and Renaissance Sim
Traits: Ambitious, Good, and Bookworm
Goals: Apply for the computer science, economics, history, language & literature, physics, or psychology degree based off the career path you wish to pursue (Law, Education, or Engineer). Obtaining scholarships are not required but encouraged. After graduation, you realize that while your parent may have been a little overboard with the whole eco living thing, they did have a point.

Generation 7: Realm of Magic and Moschino Stuff
Being raised in a tiny home really helped keep things in perspective for you. You grew up appreciating everything the world had to offer and enjoy taking photos of nature to preserve its beauty forever. You were close with your grandparent and their love of the environment really had an impact on you.
Aspiration(s): Spellcraft and Sorcery and Purveyor of Potions
Traits: Ambitious, Loves the Outdoors, and a trait of your choosing
Goals: You take up photography as a teenager with an interest in wildlife photos. You hear that the waterfall in Glimmerbrook is a sight that cannot be missed and discover a mysterious portal while you are there taking photos. After much debate with yourself, you make the decision to check out this portal and discover a world of magic. Your grandparent had always told you crazy stories about how your great grandparent traveled to a far-off mystical world, and you begin to wonder if this was it. As you explore, you meet a sage and discover witchcraft. You can’t help but feel that finding this portal was your destiny and seek to become a spellcaster. Your parent was of an ambitious nature and always went all in in anything they did, you felt an obligation to do the same when it came to understanding this newfound power.
Master photography skill.
Become a freelance photographer.
Move to Glimmerbrook after becoming a spellcaster to be closer to the portal and beautiful scenery (if you choose to become a spellcaster as a teen, wait until young adulthood to move).

Generation 8: Island Living and Get Together
Your parent loved nature and so did you, only, you weren’t a fan of the woods. You wanted to bask in the sunlight and feel the sand between your toes.

Aspiration(s): Beach Life and Leader of the Pack
Traits: Insider, Dance Machine, and Child of the Ocean
Goals: After moving to Sulani as a young adult, you discover that the island is not as cared for as you feel it should be. Despite your initial desire to live a life of leisure, you decide to take it upon yourself to join the Conservation career and be the difference you want to see. You even make a Conservation club that meets weekly to discuss Sulani and appreciate its beauty. But you don’t give up hope on your life of leisure and create a second club for going out on the town dancing with friends. One day you discover mermaids and seek to become one as to help gain even more understanding of the Island’s magic.
Master the conservation career in the branch of your choosing.
Become a mermaid at some point in your sim’s life (please note that if your heir inherited the spellcaster trait, you must cure them before they can become a mermaid).

Generation 9: Seasons, Laundry Day, Cats & Dogs, Parenthood, My First Pet, Toddlers, Kids Room, Backyard, Movie Hangout, Cool Kitchen, Bowling, and Spooky Stuff Packs
You had a wonderful childhood. Your parents were so caring and so in love that it inspired you. For as long as you could remember, you dreamed of having the perfect wedding, to the perfect person, and raising a large happy family. Only, you didn’t want to do it in Sulani. What fun were holidays, if they couldn’t be celebrated in the appropriate season. You move to Windenburg (or Brindleton Bay) inspired by stories of your parent growing up in Glimmerbrook’s countryside. You aspire to own land big enough to build a beautiful family home for your future children with plenty of outdoor space for them to play without the worries of city traffic nearby.

Complete all three family aspirations, you can do it.

After caving and getting your children pets, you can’t help but fall in love with these new additions to your family and join the vet career to meet even more pets and ensure they live long and healthy lives (may add on the friend of the animal’s aspiration if you feel so obliged).
Generation 10: Get Famous, Spa Day, Fitness, Vintage Glamour, Romantic Garden, Perfect Patio, and Luxury Party
Your parents loved you, that was obvious. But did they love you as an individual or as one of the herd? You had to share everything with your siblings, and watched your parents live modestly with no extra cash to treat themselves. And though, that never seemed to bother them, you could not imagine dedicating your entire life to raising a family. You wanted to be the center of attention for once, you never wanted to be forced to share anything ever again, you wanted to be famous.

Generation 11: Cottage Living
Your parent was famous, like really famous. You grew up living in a life of luxury most people could never even dream of having. But while your classmates raved on about all the time and memories they had with their families, you were being raised by your family’s butler. Your grandparent was all about celebrating holidays and for as long as they lived, they made you feel like family was the most important thing anyone could have in their life. You wanted that. You didn’t want to be recognized everywhere you went just because you were the child of a famous actor/actress. When you become a young adult, you move to the quaint town of Henford-on-Bagley.

A true hopeless romantic just waiting for their great love story to begin. Upon high school graduation you take a huge leap of faith and move to the beautiful and romantic town of Tartosa. Full of excitement you await your grand love story to begin.
Aspiration(s): Soulmate, My Dream Wedding (if not using mods, see aspiration goals below*), and Successful Lineage
Traits: Bookworm, Romantic, and a trait of your choosing

Move to a small close-knit town where everyone knows each other and will welcome you right in, just like in all those Hallmark movies. THAT is where you will find love. Move to Copperdale.
As soon as you move to Copperdale you realize you are pregnant. Now thousands of miles away from your ex, who you don’t really want around anyway. You vow to be the best single parent you can be. You soon discover your greatest love story was never about finding the perfect spouse, it was about becoming a parent and loving your child so deeply.
When your child becomes a child, you finally meet your soulmate and complete the soulmate aspiration. However, it happens naturally. You meet, become friends, good friends, best friends, and then finally date and fall in love (you can even meet them earlier, but cannot realize your true feelings for this person or act on them until your child is in grade school).

Buy a wedding cake after taste testing a few

Move to Moonwood Mill in an abandoned place you purchased with money you stole from your parent.

Generation 14: Growing Together
As a child, you were fascinated by the families you watched on tv. Did happy families really exist? You wanted nothing more than to be a part of a big happy family like the ones you saw on tv. Being raised by a lone wolf provided nothing of the sort. So, when you reached young adulthood you moved to the bustling city of San Sequoia, never looking back.

You’ve always felt a strong connection with nature. You believe there is no better remedy for stress or sickness than the good old fashion outdoors. You just wish nature didn’t include creepy crawlies.
Aspiration(s): Outdoor Enthusiast
Traits: Loves the Outdoors, Squeamish, and Glutton
Goals: You do not believe in traditional medicine. If it does not come from nature, it is not going in your body. You don’t mind eating rotten food though, as throwing out food just because its slightly passed its expiration date is just wasteful.
Spend most of your time camping in Granite Falls exploring the great outdoors.
As an adult, you may begin renting a cabin. This will be your cabin; you have now invested in a second home in Granite Falls.
Complete the Outdoor Enthusiast aspiration.
Bring any future children camping with you one weekend every month until they are teenagers and can make their own decisions.
Add-On Generation: Get to Work - - Active Career Path
You have always been that person that just knew what they wanted to do with their life. Ever since you played with the chemistry station (scientist), doctor set (doctor), or read your first mystery novel (detective) as a child, you just knew that’s what you wanted to be when you grew up.
Aspiration(s): Aspiration of your choosing
Traits: Ambitious, Genius, and a trait of your choosing
Goals: Since you were young, you have worked hard at accomplishing your dream of reaching the top of the scientist, doctor, or detective career.
Depending on your selected career path, must spend a great deal of your childhood playing with the chemistry station, doctor set, or reading mystery novels.
Reach the top of a part-time job as a teen, you are eager to get as much experience as you can to prepare you for your future career.
Reach the top of the scientist, doctor, or detective career.
As someone who needed all their ducks in a row, you do not get married or have children until you reach adulthood and are at least halfway through your career path.
Add-On Generation: Get to Work - - Owning a Business
For some, knowing what career path to take is easy for them. For others, like yourself, it’s a bit more challenging. You have many interests and have tried out various careers according to those interests, but nothing feels right. And how can anyone enjoy working at a job where they know more than their own boss? Those jobs were the worst! Somewhere along the way of self-discovery, you realize you were not meant to simply have a career, you were meant to own a business.
Aspiration(s): Renaissance Sim and Fabulously Wealthy
Traits: Noncommittal, Clumsy, and a trait of your choosing
Goals: Part of your constant struggle to find which career path suits you is simply how indecisive you can be. Making decisions has never been easy for you and that did not change as you got older. Still, you find the strength to persevere and laugh at your own failures. Life may try to knock you down, but you always find the strength get back up. You aspire to be fabulously wealthy as a true sign you’ve finally made it, you’ve finally made something of yourself.

Go on at least 5 dates with 3 different sims as a young adult before you eventually marry your high school sweetheart.
Add-On Generation: Dine Out
Your parents suggested you get a part time job when you became a teenager as it would help build character, so you took up a job in retail. You hated it. Sure, you loved the people aspect of it, but dealing with rude customers all day, no thank you. You opt for a career change and switch to fast food as you’ve always enjoyed baking, maybe you’ll actually like this job. Turns out, baking for large groups of people in a fast-paced environment, isn’t your cup of tea either. But you do enjoy the working environment, your co-workers are like a second family. And you think to yourself, what if I owned the restaurant?
Aspiration(s): Aspiration of your choosing
Traits: Foodie and two traits of your choosing
Goals: When you become a young adult, you go for your dream of owning a restaurant. To afford this, you may take out a loan from the Simcity Loans mod, take money from your parents (they want to help you accomplish your dreams), or simply cheat (I find it more fun not to cheat, but you do you).
As a teenager join the retail career and later switch to fast food.
Purchase an existing restaurant or build one from the ground up (recommended) as a young adult.
Spend your life working towards and then maintaining a 5-star rating.
You may purchase any perk points you want once you can afford them.
At the beginning, you may live at your restaurant. However, once you reach a 4-star rating you must own a separate home.
Add-On Generation: City Living
Shows like How I Met Your Mother, Friends, Sex and the City, Seinfeld, and various others left you dreaming of the day you too could live in the city. These shows were all about having great friends, plenty of fun nights out, and living such a romanticized version of a life, how could you not aspire to have that. You’ve always felt out of place in the world of dating, you just never felt a spark with anyone. City Living was your ticket to happiness.
Aspiration(s): City Native
Traits: Unflirty, Outgoing, and Foodie (for food critic), Art Lover (for art critic), Ambitious (for politician), or Geek (for social media).
Goals: As a young adult you move to San Myshuno with big dreams of exploring the city. Only to discover city living is expensive! You find a two-bedroom spacious apartment that you think is a steal and snatch it up (19 Culpepper House). Soon you find yourself living with roaches, rats, bad electrical and horrible plumbing issues. Determined to prove to your parents you can make it on your own, you work all that much harder at climbing the career ladder and saving up for a better apartment. Somewhere along the way you find yourself.
Must live in 19 Culpepper House from the start of young adulthood until you’re halfway to being an adult (for an extra challenge, you may move out of your parent’s house as a teenager).
19 Culpepper House must have the Needs TLC and Lively Neighbors lot traits.
Halfway through young adulthood move to a better apartment.
If you can afford it as an adult, purchase a Penthouse.

Reach the top of the Critic, Politician, or Social Media career.
Have at least good 5 friends and 1 enemy (that noisy neighbor of yours, maybe).

Master singing skill and gourmet cooking (food critic), painting (art critic), charisma (politician), or video gaming (social media).
Add-On Generation: Cats & Dogs
You’ve always felt a strong connection with animals, people, not so much. Since childhood, you’ve dreamed of owning your own vet clinic. Having a job that allowed you to spend all day with your animal friends, you couldn’t dream of anything better.
Aspiration(s): Friend of the Animals
Traits: Loner, Cat Lover, and Dog Lover
Goals: As a young adult you move to Brindleton Bay and purchase a small vet clinic. You dream is to turn this small clinic into a flourishing, well-established vet clinic with its very own pet supply store where you sell only the best supplies for your furry friends.
If you have City Living, replace either cat or dog lover with unflirty.
Purchase a small vet clinic with only the bare necessities (you may cheat to afford this, but do not cheat for any additional money).
Complete the Friend of the Animals aspiration.
Establish a 5-star rating for your vet clinic.
Mid-adulthood, you adopt a baby, toddler, or a child (for those who prefer playing with blood genetics, you may instead have a one-night stand with a married sim that results in a pregnancy -hence the reason the other parent will not be in the picture.)
Over the course of your lifetime, must own at least 5 pets.
Add-On Generation: Jungle Adventure
Ever since you were a child you loved finding treasure while playing pirate and that was something you never grew out of. Anything of value, you wanted, and you found a way to get it. By the time you were a young adult, you were ready for more of a challenge than just stealing petty things from your neighbors. You aspired to find real treasure and the thrilling adventures you’d have trying to obtain it.
Aspiration(s): Archaeology Scholar and Jungle Explorer
Traits: Loves the Outdoors, Self-Assured, and Kleptomaniac
Goals: After countless internet searches, you conclude that Selvadorado is the place you have been longing for. Exploring potentially dangerous jungles and tombs to find treasures left abandoned, nothing sounded better. To prevent suspicion of your less than ethical reasoning for exploring, you learn the culture and claim to be an honorable archeologist just in it for the sake of learning.
Master mischief, archaeology and Selvadoradian culture skills.

Unlock and explore all jungle areas.
Have all major life moments happen in Selvadorado (get engaged, get married, try for baby, etc.)
Make money by selling artifacts and/or a career of your choosing (using a custom archeology career this generation would be perfect).
Add-On Generation: Strangerville
You were always an overactive sim. As a teenager, you learned to channel that energy into something positive, working out. One day, a guest lecturer comes and speaks with your class about the military and how they are in need of new recruits who will be stationed in a town called Strangerville. While the idea of the military scares most of your classmates, your overzealous nature is eager to take on the challenge and prove you are the best of the best.
Aspiration(s): Strangerville Mystery and Bodybuilder
Traits: Active, Bro, and Paranoid
Goals: After graduating high school you move to Strangerville eager to start your new career in the military. You know you have what it takes to climb the ranks. However, you soon notice something is a little “off” with your new neighbors. At first, you look past it, but curiosity soon gets the better of you. After asking around town, you hear a rumor that the odd shaped plants are the cause. But after talking with your boss at work, you deem these rumors false and take it upon yourself to prove it. Only, the rumors are in fact true and now you are one of them, the infected. You soon become overwhelmed by paranoia, where do you go all the hours you cannot account for in the night? Will your coworkers catch on that there is something “off” about you now too? What if they discover how deeply you are investigating the mystery that is Strangerville?
Must live in Strangerville.
Must get infected while on level 1 of the Strangerville aspiration.
Reach the top of the Military career- officer branch.
Complete both the Strangerville Mystery and Bodybuilder aspirations.
Add-On Generation: Bust the Dust
Your twin and you are total opposites from one another. And while this may lead to an argument here and there, you also couldn’t dream of not being in each other’s life’s. Your twin is your best friend, your other half. You decide at a young age that you will get a house together when you’re older and raise your families all under one roof.
Aspiration(s): Fabulously Filthy (Twin A) and Perfectly Pristine (Twin B)

**You probably noticed there are a few aspirations and trait slots left up to the player’s choosing. This is because the specific packs used in that generation do not provide them and I feel the player should have their own creative freedom there.
