This challenge focuses on the lesser used gameplay mechanics in the Sims 3. It is meant to make the typical player explore aspects of the game they usually wouldn’t play. Obviously because I don’t know how everyone plays, these all may be features you have already used. For the most part I tried to include obscure or unconventional game mechanics like hidden skills, real estate, the collection system, lesser played occults etc. I named each generation after a crayon color because it represents coloring outside of the lines and I thought it would be fun.

All Expansion Packs are required. Some store content is heavily recommended but not required.

General Rules-

• You must complete the Ultimate Goals section to move on to the next generation
• Mods are allowed
• Money cheats are not allowed, but all other cheats are
• Feel free to live in whatever world you want. (Custom worlds may not be ideal for generations revolving around collecting)

• Short lifespan is not recommended for this challenge
• The given Career is required but once you complete all of your ultimate goals your sim can do what they want
• Have fun!

Gen 6- Maroon: A Bitter Wish

Growing up as a Genie had its perks, but your parent's constant obsession with your magic was enough to drive you crazy. All you ever really wanted to do was create art. Instead, you were pushed into a career of being a magician by your parents. You’re bitter and angry and want to lash out at the sims of the world, specifically by stealing their lawn flamingos. Maybe one day YOUR wish will come true, until then you must grant everyone else’s.

Gen 7- Chestnut: Ode to a Bookworm

Having a grumpy parent has taught you to avoid most other sims. You just simply don’t know how to interact in the real world. Instead, you find yourself lost in books and literature. And if you’re not lost in a book, you’re glued to your phone trying to have some form of a social life.

Gen 9- Silver: I, Simbot

You dream of having the perfect family, and preferably not one made up of furry critters. You tried the old-fashioned way and it didn’t live up to your expectations.

All of the previous generations before you have somehow negatively affected your DNA. Maybe if your parent had brought you up right you would have stood a chance.

I've been looking for a legacy challenge where every generations seem fun to play, and I think I found it! ♥ Well, I'm already in the middle of another legacy challenge right now, but I'll probably start this one right after I finish the other.
I'll admit, at first I wasn't too sure about the last gen, but honestly? When am I ever going to play this type of sims if not with your challenge? So in the end, I really like it!


Can't wait to test it!
