We’ve all heard of the Not So Berry Challenge created by @lilsimsie and @alwaysimming

Since completing this challenge not once, but TWICE- I’ve decided to create a 2.0 version that uses more of the gameplay that has been introduced in new packs since this challenge was created years ago.

Still ten generations based on different colors. In my own version, the traits, storyline, aspiration, and career for each generation are based on the meanings behind each color rather than the color itself.

Please keep in mind that I did not create this original challenge, but the challenge rules remain the same. The challenge rules have been copied and pasted from the original challenge which I will also post a link for. 

https://lilsimsie.tumblr.com/post/157671494755/not-so-berry-legacy-challenge

Basic Rules:

Each heir must represent the color of the generation (i.e. hair, makeup, clothing), but brightly colored skin is not necessary (these aren’t actually berry Sims, that’s the joke). Of course, this is optional but a big portion of the fun.

The colors of the spouses don’t matter as they aren’t part of the challenge. Unless otherwise stated you can do whatever you please with them.

Money cheats can be used, but not excessively. Suggestion: use freerealestate for your first home, but no cheats afterward.

You may live wherever you please unless something is specified in the rules of a generation.

Every generation is supposed to complete both the career and aspiration of the heir unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Keep the lifespan on normal.

Hindus in Bangladesh are being harassed. Their centuries old indigenous practices are being put to a stop by illegal occupation of their lands.

The attacks on Hindu deities have been happening since September but the mobs have taken a violent stance on Maha Ashtami i.e the 8th day of Navaratri.

Islamists are harassing Hindu women who attempt to go to the temples by ripping their clothes.

Hindus are requesting military help as their last resort. Local muslim mobs all over Bangladesh have mobilised to destroy Hindu temples, vandalize deities, and violently kill Hindus who dare protect their places of worship or celebrate Navaratri.

The local Islamic militants justify the attacks on Hindus saying that Hindus worshipping the Devi is against their religion as they believe God cannot be worshipped as a female!

Hindus are indigenous to Bangladesh but they are predicted to go extinct by 2050 due to the ongoing persecution from the last 1000 years.

As much as it is easy and tempting to pass it of as normal in Bangladesh, this has been happening for decades now.

It is absolutely not okay to accept it as normal. No human deserves such violations of human rights. You are complicit in normalizing this if you don't speak up.

We cannot imagine the horrors the Bengali Hindus are going through right now. But the least we can do is raise awareness about this.

The attacks have not ceased yet. The government has tried but failed to stop the attacks and protect the Hindus.

The international media and international human rights organisations are playing a silent role.

The police and the government are enabling this violence. The ruling government is silently supporting anti-Hindu mob violence through their grassroot politicians. The police are not helping Hindus and they refuse to answer the media for their inaction.

They haven’t done the bare minimum to protect Hindus. Tweeting cute words doesn’t stop the violence against Hindus. Our lives are in danger. END THE VIOLENCE NOW.

Fascism doesn't begin at the end of the indigenous; It begins while the settler-colonists persecutes the indigenous.

The Bangladesh government must answer for these atrocities against Hindus.

Do not stop advocating for Hindus in Bangladesh. Amplify their voices. Silence is violence when fascism is at play. Resist. ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

As the world gears up for protests, India remains silent and incapable of voicing for Bangladeshi Hindus to the international community.

Do the "1 Billion" Hindus do not care for their brothers and sisters next door?

How many out of the "1 billion" have protested in India so far?

HINDUS IN INDIA, CHECK YOUR PRIVILEGE!

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A HINDU TO SUPPORT BANGLADESHI HINDUS. YOU JUST HAVE TO BE A HUMAN.
