Rules for the generations under the cut āæ
GENERATION ONE āæ
You were raised in the city by strict parents who pushed you to be the best student in school. Despite your ambitious nature you hated the fact that you had no autonomy or free time. When you became a young adult you packed up your belongings, your pet and your limited funds and you moved to the countryside. Your cottage is rundown and outdatedā¦itās going to take a lot of work (and money) to make it a home. You quickly realize you might not actually be cut out for this life, but you are too stubborn and proud to give up and move back in with your parents.
Traits: Squeamish, Ambitious, High Maintenance
Aspiration: Country Caretaker OR Freelance Botanist
Career: Start with a part time job and/or odd jobs until your sim ages up into an adult, then settle into a full time job of your choice. To make additional money, you can also sell harvestables from your garden or your farm animals (if you want to go down that route!)
Starting Out: Start in Henford-on-Bagley with your pet in a small, rundown cottage with 2-3 bedrooms. You can use money cheats at this point, but remember: small rundown cottageā¦donāt use those extra funds for nice appliances!! When your house is done, set your funds to 450.

GENERATION TWO āæ
You grew up in a small, quiet town. After hearing about your parentās childhood in the city, you were inspired to give it a try. You say goodbye to your loving family and set out for San Myshuno.

Aspiration: City Native OR Painter Extraordinaire

Once your child becomes a teen, move out into your own place (it could be in San Myshuno or another world)

Optional Rules:Ā
As an elder, marry the sim you had a one night stand with (that ultimately resulted in the birth of your child)
Become famous (because of your paintings)
GENERATION THREE āæ
Just as the expression goes, it took a village to raise you. You were a wild, rebellious child with a love for athletics. Even though you were surrounded by love as a kid (not just from your biological family, but from your parentās roommates) you always wanted to have siblings. You end up marrying one of your childhood best friends and you settle down in a quiet neighborhood.

Itās rough living in a new place with limited funds, but the two of you have some creative solutions.
