"what could go wrong?" legacy challenge
do you like creating complex stories with complex characters? inspired by the Not So Berry legacy challenge , weโve created this challenge to explore new stories and experiences in our games.ย welcome to our ten generation legacy challenge, โwhat could go wrong?โย created by @curioustraits and @maadsimming
follow our WCGW stories @curious.whims and @maad.whims over on instagram!
each generation has a suggested color for you to follow; this of course is optional but it makes it a bit more fun!
the colors of the spouses donโt matter. unless specifically stated in the rules, you can do whatever you please with them.
some generations will have relationship rules, however if none are stated, the relationships between all sims will be up to your interpretation!
unless said otherwise, money cheats can be used, but not excessively. suggestion: use freerealestateย for your first home, but no cheats afterward.
your sims may live wherever you please unless the world is specified in the rules of a generation.
every heir should complete the rules, aspiration, and career(s) of the generation unless explicitly stated otherwise.
if you do not have the packs required for certain traits, use the suggested traits options (or if the suggested traits simply just fit your ideas better, feel free!)
if you play this challenge and want to share it with us, make sure to post with #wcgwlegacy so we can see! feel free to tag us as well: @curious.whims & @maad.whims (on instagram)

generation four: two sides of a coin.
you grew up with a selfish parent who taught you to act a certain way to get what you want. all you wanted was a parent, and you thought acting out was the way to get one. once you realized that's something more unrealistic than an ufo sighting you decided to run away. running away ended up being a worse choice than living with your parent, when someone took you in and got you into a messy situation...

you always admired big friend groups and being surrounded by people. you wanted it, you needed it. but because of one simple flaw, you were kept at a distance. being an alien wasn't fun or quirky for you, it was isolating. you studied how to be human as much as you could... picking up several skills, doing weird jobs. finally, when you prepared yourself enough you took a big leap straight into business in hopes to blend into society as perfectly as you can.
