Sul sul! 👋 I'm ViiCii. I’m a fairly new Simmer, but I’m a huge fan of structured gameplay! I’ve been heavily inspired by the amazing creators on YouTube and TikTok, and their videos pushed me to finally document my own legacy rules. This is my first time sharing a project like this, and I can't wait to see how you all play it!
PROJECT: WILLOW CREEK RESTORATION (WCRP)
"The world didn't end with a bang, but with a reset."
After a total regional collapse, the Sim-Government has authorized the Willow Creek Restoration Project. Only four founding households have been selected to rebuild society from the ground up. This is a 10-generation journey through survival, civic duty, and historical preservation.
The Directives:
I’ve spent the last few weeks "auditing" these protocols to create a brand-new legacy challenge experience! This project focuses on:
Rotational Gameplay: Manage 4 distinct pillars of society.
Civic Taxation: Fund the growth of your world manually.
Succession Protocols: Ensure the bloodlines remain "compliant" with their unique traits.

WCRP: PROJECT FIELD GUIDE (FAQs)
Q: What happens if my Sim doesn't age up with the required Pillar Trait?
A: Don’t worry! While the "Hardcore" version of the challenge relies on the random luck of the game, you have total freedom here. You can either pick the trait yourself or move in a "Scholar" (a new Sim) to act as a mentor.
Q: Can I manually choose the trait when my heir ages up?
A: Definitely. This is your story! If you want to keep the vibe, try choosing the trait based on what they did as a kid—like picking Loves Outdoors because they spent time in the garden.
Q: Do I have to complete the founding Pillar's Aspiration too?
A: Only if you want the extra challenge. To keep the bloodline "compliant," you really only need the Pillar Trait. Think of the Aspiration as a "bonus goal".
Q: I’m not using mods. How do I handle the 10% tax?
A: It’s super easy! At the start of your 3-day rotation, calculate 10% of the household funds and use the money cheat to deduct it. Keep a note of how much you’ve collected for your Civic Development Fund.
Q: Is the Mayor's role hereditary like the others?
A: Actually, the Mayor is the only role that isn't passed down to a child. When the current Mayor becomes an Elder, it’s time for an election! The winner is the candidate with the highest average friendship among the other Pillars.
Q: Does the new Mayor really need Charisma Level 5 immediately?
A: That’s the goal, but don’t feel like you have to rush! You can treat it as "on-the-job training" during their first rotation.
Q: Help! I’m worried about losing the Ledger.
A: To keep the history safe, ensure the physical book is in the heir's inventory or a secure archive before the current Historian passes away.
Q: Do I have to play in Willow Creek, or can I use a different world?
A: You can play in whichever world you like! While named after Willow Creek, the Restoration Project can happen anywhere—the core rules will work exactly the same.
"She built a life out of dirt, sunshine, and stubborn optimism... But the system was never something she learned to trust."
While the rest of the world fell into suspended animation, Emmy Meadowes was deep in the wetlands of Granite Falls, learning the resilience of scorched soil. A "Botanical Resurrectionist" by trade, she was hired because she is the only person who can look at a spore-choked wasteland and see a thriving forest. To Emmy, the Sim-demic wasn't an apocalypse; it was a necessary reset.
She operates as a human sunbeam, but her bright exterior masks a fierce, territorial protectiveness over the "Pure" flora she breeds. Emmy trusts nature far more than Alistair’s spreadsheets, and she is a single rare seedling away from committing treason against the very government that sent her.
Can you cultivate a future when you're ready to break all the rules to save it?
If you caught his recent personal log, you already know Silas Thorne handles midnight trysts and broken hearts like an art form. But the Sim-Government didn’t recruit him to the Willow Creek Restoration Project for his studied cynicism. They brought him here because he was becoming a massive political liability.
Born in the eternal shadows of Forgotten Hollow, Silas spent his youth digging through forbidden archives. He became obsessed with the decades-old scandals that predated the Purple Haze, eventually uncovering heavily redacted files regarding the military's initial experiments with Project Mother.
When he threatened to go public with his theories, the authorities stepped in. They couldn't quietly eliminate a scholar of his standing without raising questions, so they chose a more bureaucratic cage: they appointed him the official WCRP Historian to keep their sharpest critic on a golden leash.
But Silas’s deep-seated paranoia doesn’t stop at government terminals. For him, intimacy is the ultimate security risk.
Believing that modern romance is far too messy—and highly susceptible to government surveillance—Silas has weaponized his charm. He plays the part of the detached, transient heartbreaker with practiced ease, settling for fleeting, midnight connections that dissolve before sunrise. To Silas, a guest who stays until breakfast is someone who has time to wiretap his archives. He protects his heart the same way he protects his encrypted files: by keeping it completely redacted.
Beneath the razor-sharp wit and the calculated, fleeting encounters is a deeply frustrated romantic, holding out for a soulmate he’s utterly convinced doesn't exist. After all, how do you open your heart when you suspect everyone might be an agent sent to quiet you?
Silas is typing up sanitized progress reports for the Mayor's spreadsheets by day, but by night, the terminal stays on. They think sending him to the ruins will bury his curiosity. Instead, they just handed the ultimate investigator a graveyard of secrets waiting to be exhumed.
The archives are open. WCRP: Silent Accord, starting now. 📁🔥
They caged him in gold to keep him from speaking the truth.
Silas Thorne knows exactly why the government sent him to the ruins of Willow Creek. They want him cataloging old blueprints instead of digging up their darkest political scandals. Too bad for them, he’s never been good at following protocols.
The setup is over. WCRP: Silent Accord is officially active. 🛠️💻
When the Sim-Government scouted Julianna for the Willow Creek Restoration Project, they weren’t just looking at her culinary credentials—they were capitalizing on the fact that she had just become the most controversial chef in Del Sol Valley.
This was the exact offer that triggered it all.
A wealthy restaurant mogul corporate-suit approached Jules with what looked like a dream contract on paper: massive funding and global fame to franchise her signature recipes into a fast-casual empire.
But corporate suits don’t buy your food; they buy your silence. The fine print demanded full rights to her likeness and a non-compete clause that forced her into early retirement from the kitchen. They wanted her name on the door, but her hands off the apron.
For a chef who cooks for the soul, signing it would have been suicide. So, she walked out.
Rejecting that kind of corporate elite money made her an immediate target, and she was blacklisted from the city's top kitchens within a week. But a blacklisted chef with nothing left to lose is exactly what the WCRP needed.
When the terms of the Silent Accord were presented to her, she didn't see a restricted zone or a crisis—she saw a kitchen where she could finally bake real bread for people who actually need it to survive.
Del Sol Valley thought they benched her. Willow Creek is about to find out she’s just getting started. 🥖✨
"She built a life out of flour, copper pans, and quiet devotion... But her own heart was the one thing she couldn't nourish."
Jules Moore grew up in a chaotic household of twelve, where the kitchen was her only sanctuary and bread was the only way to keep the peace. Once a rising star in Del Sol Valley, she walked away from Michelin-star fame when she realized she was cooking for egos instead of souls. She arrived at the restricted zone with nothing but a trunk of vintage pans and a sourdough starter older than she is.
As the project’s Nutrition and Morale Officer, Jules carries the weight of everyone’s happiness like a heavy tray of cast-iron pots. A family-oriented soul in a world where families are forbidden, she is quietly starving for connection—haunted by the fear that she will spend her life serving people too busy with their "missions" to notice she is breaking.
How long can you feed a community when your own soul is running on empty?
"He built a life out of spreadsheets, protocols, and cold calculations... But he forgot how to live it."
Alistair Sterling arrived in Willow Creek not with a shovel, but with a ledger. Once the youngest urban strategist in San Myshuno, he earned the nickname The Iron Blueprint for fixing failing districts with absolute, ruthless efficiency. To him, the collapse wasn't a tragedy—it was a failure of logistics. Commissioned to restore order, he treats the other founders like high-value assets on a chessboard.
But behind the starched collars and rigid bureaucracy, Alistair is running from a crushing silence. He obsesses over every line of red tape to avoid looking at the empty streets, secretly terrified that if he ever lets his guard down, there’s nothing left inside but a hollow bureaucrat.
How do you govern a city when you’ve forgotten how to be a person?
Sul sul! 👋 I’m ViiCii, and I’m so excited to share the trailer for my first-ever legacy challenge! I’m a fairly new Simmer and this video was a huge learning curve for me, but I wanted to show you the heart of the Willow Creek Restoration Project.
