Currently playing the Random Decades Legacy Challenge.
- (Current Decade: 1950s)
Started December 1, 2021
I’ll be playing by the rules of the Random Decades Challenge as per @twentiethcenturysims.
This game will be a little different than my previous decades challenge as the decades will each be one generation rather than a set length of time in-game (e.g. 20 in-game days), so the historical accuracy won’t be there in terms of timing.

I'm also playing a Medieval Gameplay save!

Disclaimer: I am a white American (Italian, Armenian, and a mixed bag of other European cultures) but am interested in portraying history from diverse perspectives and decided to play a Decades Challenge game with a family from a different culture after my first Decades Challenge, the Lombardos, which follows an Italian-American family. I noticed that the historical Simblr community would benefit from more diversity. I try to do my research for portraying the past from the point of view of Latine characters in a respectful way. I hope my stories can incorporate diverse perspectives.

An early 1950s lookbook for Salim Benali, the husband of 1950s heir Gloria Morales, in his mid-20s. Salim Ahmed Benali was born in Los Angeles to Algerian and Moroccan parents. His father Mustapha is the co-owner of a foreign imports business in LA and hopes that Salim will follow in his footsteps. While currently employed in an assistant position, Salim's dream is to be a novelist, though it's hard for him to stay motivated beyond his own creative endeavors. Salim is the father of twins, Dean and Irene. His style is professional gentleman's attire but when at home he prefers something comfortable that he can relax in. His traits are bookworm, lazy, and creative.

With the finishing of Gloria's new home bar room, house parties became a regular occurrence at the Benali home. Sometimes Salim invited over one of his coworkers, but more frequently, Gloria caught up with her large circle of friends. She loved entertaining and playing the part of the hostess while her guests enjoyed tropical drinks, in the style of the themed bars that were popping up around Los Angeles. It was also a great excuse for her to show off her chic wardrobe.
It was at one such event, however, that Gloria's brother Salvador was approached by his friend and former lover, Anton Pavlenko. Things remained amicable between them though not without an air of tension.
"I talked to your wife, Sal," Anton admitted, driven by liquid courage, "and she knows about our past, and knows you still harbor feelings for me. Don't deny it."
"And? What are you suggesting?"
"What if you didn't have to choose?" Anton asked.
It sounded impossible, yet he knew how understanding Mary had been when he'd admitted his attraction to men. As he found himself drawn closer to Anton, a million questions ran through his head. "I'll talk to Mary."

Before Gloria knew it, it was time for the twins' birthday. Though their personalities continued to diverge, Dean and Irene were still as close as could be.
Salim got a promotion and is now the assistant to the manager! With his increased paycheck, there's more to spend on beautifying our home— and I had the most novel idea!
Since Dean and Irene share a bedroom, there's a spare room in our house. I read an article in Better Lots and Gardens magazine recently about how to make a home bar for entertaining, and quickly got to work on decorating. I went with a tropical theme, and I think Salim liked the result too. We're already planning to host a cocktail party soon!

I've been slumping a little bit with regards to my Decades Challenge, but I still wanted to play around in CAS. As a little side project, I've been doing a thing where I generate a random country and then try to make a Sim from that country in CAS. For Mongolia, I created Altan Ganzorig (the man in the hat), and when I came upon @marsmerizing-sims ' Eastern Nomads collection I knew I had to give him a family!
The first infant lookbook I ever created was for Gloria, the twins' mother, and now it's their turn! Irene Sara Benali and Dean Omar Benali are the fraternal twins of Gloria Morales and Salim Benali (Dean was born a few minutes before his twin sister). Their mother adores dressing them in sweet outfits; pink for Irene and blue for Dean. Irene's trait is Cautious, while Dean's trait is Wiggly.
Thank you for coming over to spend Christmas with me! I'm glad that Salvador and Mary could stop by with their children too, even just for a bit. I know how much Estela and Tommy like seeing their little cousins, and having everyone together reminds me of the several Christmases past we spent in our apartment together. It was a small space but we had lots of love. Salim went all out with decorating the tree, bless him. He's taking to the Christmas traditions quite well.

The twins were growing and getting bigger, and Gloria delighted in choosing the perfect outfits for them; blue for Dean, and pink for Irene. From the start they had a close bond, though their personalities were already starting to diverge. Dean was an active and wiggly baby who began crawling before his twin, whereas Irene was more subdued and cautious but felt secure with her parents and brother.
I'll never admit it to my father or even my wife, but work tires me out and I'm not really that passionate about it. Sure, it helps pay the bills, and Baba assures me that I'll work my way up so I can take after him, but he's got big shoes to fill. Coming home, seeing my wife and my newborn twins, that's the highlight of my day. And Duke too— he's grown on me though I would've preferred a cat.
I've had the idea for a science fiction story about life on Earth in the aftermath of nuclear devastation, and today I showed Gloria my rough draft. "A bit dark, don't you think?" she said. "I mean, it's good though. Have you tried writing romance?" I told her nothing I made up could compare to our real life. God, I love her.
