The Feline Legacy Challenge
This is my long-awaited legacy challenge based on certain cat breeds. I had a lot of fun writing this challenge and play-testing it. It is for those of you who enjoy storytelling and want a new let's play to do for YouTube.
The Feline Legacy Challenge is a nine-generation challenge (because cats have nine lives) and focuses on specific cat breeds I personally adore in real life and in the game. This legacy challenge is story based, and you may adjust some requirements if you do not have the packs. Unless specifically stated otherwise, do not change the traits, skills, and aspirations.
General Rules and Required Packs
Each sim must own the cat breed that they represent for each generation. Generation One must have an American Longhair as a pet, etc.
You may use money cheats, I will not lie I used them during play testing and there is a 50/50 chance I will use them if I do a let's play. Do not use them excessively but can use them when moving each Generation into their own homes and as gifts occasionally from parents if it fits the storyline I or you create.
There are no set colors for these generations but feel free to use the colors that I chose for the images of each generation. I encourage you to make your own colors for this legacy as I think it is fun to be able to choose.
High School Years are not required, but it is recommended especially for later generations and the first one.
You may adjust some requirements for each generation if you do not have the packs or just do not enjoy the gameplay that is required. As long as it still fits the main storyline I created or is closely related to it, I do not care about what is changed.
The required Expansions and Game Packs are below, and the only stuff pack required is Nifty Knitting
You must complete all skills, aspirations, and careers for each generation unless otherwise stated in the requirements section. If
If the heir of generation dies before you complete the requirements you fail the challenge, unless, the heir already was married and had at least one child. Then you may move onto the next generation or start over the challenge again.
Unless otherwise stated you can marry your sims but be careful to view the rules before doing so.
Gen One: American Longhair
You have always been a child (at heart) and enjoy playing when you have free time. However, you also have a lazy side and nobody can get you to move from the couch after work. You are a smart person and are set to graduate earlier than your twin sibling who spends more time traveling than attending school. You found a cat that was sick one day and took it to the local vet and fell in love with them immediately. Your sibling is allergic to cats, so you have never been able to keep them in your home. Your parent agreed to let you keep them if they stayed in your bedroom and your bedroom only. The cat seems to be your only friend. In high school, you stayed alone because everyone thought you were a nerd and loser compared to your sibling. Once you graduated early, you and your cat moved to a small home near the water. You never revealed to anyone that your favorite pastime is fishing and that living by the water has always been your dream. You are a genius and go to Foxbury University with a distinguished degree in Computer Science. After graduating, you go into Engineering and meet your future partner at your job. You knew you always wanted to have at least three children and needed to meet someone who loves children and loves family.

You were always the adventurous type growing up as a kid and teen. You loved traveling to Mt.Komorebi with some friends during high school and spent most of your time snowboarding and skiing. You are a very active person and love to go on morning jogs before going to work at the hospital as a doctor. Your parents never thought you would make it through University since you spent more time playing basketball or in Mt. Komorebi with your friends. You pushed through and graduated from University with a degree in Biology. As much as you love having your family around, you never dreamed of having a large family. You want to settle down and would love to call Komorebi your home. Living there will give you the best chance at climbing to the top of Mt. Komorebi with your friends or your partner.

Sure, one of your parents was always sociable and played a lot of sports, and the other barely shared those same qualities. You grew up in Mt. Komorebi but want to see the rest of the world. You want to live in a close-knit community, so you settle down in Willow Creek. Before moving to Willow Creek, you move to the big city of San Myshuno where you find comedy as your calling. Going to University was never on your radar and while your parents expressed their distaste for you not going, they supported your decision. The family was never your main focus in life, yes you love yours dearly, but you never really wanted to start one of your own. You have never understood romance but liked to have fun here and there. The city is full of nightclubs means you could go partying on Fridays and hoke up with some people. During one of these hookups, you get pregnant and wake up. No more drinking and no more hooking up with strangers. Instead of having one baby, you end up having twins both of which you love but barely spend time with because you are too focused on your comedy career. You finish your job by the time that you are an adult and decide to move out of San Myshuno into Willow Creek.

You and your sibling were never close to the parent you primarily lived with, but you enjoyed spending your time with the other one. You moved in with them while you went to University and your other sibling decided to stay behind. Growing up you always loved being around people and had many friends compared to your twin sibling. You love people so much that you decided you want to teach them and go to the University of Britechester to pursue an education degree. You want to educate the generation of tomorrow and hold your future kids to almost unrealistic education standards. You marry shortly after you graduate from University to a person you meet in one of your classes at University. You have always wanted a close-knit family like your parents originally wanted, and have four kids of your own. You live in a townhome in Britechester after not wanting to leave the college town. You always let your children see their grandparents. You have one child who is a child prodigy in either acting, sports, or the arts, and you never let them do what their siblings get to do. You focus all of your attention on them, and it causes some strain and eventually ends in a divorce and your partner taking the other three kids with them. You make sure the one kid who stayed with you (most likely out of here of failing you because of your ridiculous standards) gets at the top of their class and graduates early.

Your parents got a divorce and your other parent and siblings moved out leaving you behind with the viper your parent is. You grew up resenting school but knew if your grades slip, your parent would punish you for it. You focused all of your time on escaping into the worlds of gaming and writing. When you were not doing your school work and your extracurriculars, you wrote or played video games to escape your almost hellish life. Once your graduated and got into University you quickly dropped out and moved far away from your parent in Windenburg. You attempt to make friends by visiting local cafés and spending most of your day writing books. One day you decide to call your older sibling and ask if they want to catch up since you finally escaped your parent's clutches. They agree, and you finally start to get close to them. They help you out by getting you a part-time job as their babysitter (join the babysitting career and pretend you are watching their children). You do that and continue writing books until you get a stable enough income. You eventually meet someone at the café shop and your love of writing and books pulls off.

You are living the true granny lifestyle until you find a way to get the needed materials to turn into the creature you desire. Until then, you do decide to try to meet people in the parks or through old friends in school. You have never been the dating type but would love to have family and settle down with someone even if it just platonically. You find the needed materials to transform into your desired occult and go through the transformation or the trials to become one.

As a young adult, you decide to move to Strangerville and join the Criminal Career. You do not feel like you need to complete in the career because you plan on marrying the boss and using their money for your slightly lavish lifestyle. You have four kids and spoiled them greatly. At night, you decide to find the mother plant in Strangerville and defeat it thinking you will get money out of it.

You were forgotten as the middle child by everyone in your family. Yes, your parents gave you everything you ever wanted but ignored you when you were not begging them for stuff or money. They never paid attention to your fascination with acting, never came to your plays and did not even know you graduated early. You go to University for a degree in Drama with the hopes of becoming a star and living your best life in Del Sol Valley, away from your family. However, that does not work well once your parent finds out you live their and forces you to let them live with you. You reluctantly agree but tell them they have to leave when you meet someone to live the rest of your life with. They agree to leave after you do, and they do not realize how difficult they are making your love life. Once you reveal that your parent lives with you, most of the people you meet decide to not have a second date. You eventually find love on one of the sets of what you are filming. You parent leaves once your love interest moves in with you and you never hear from her again. You decide to distance yourself and focus on your relationship and career.

You decide to move to Evergreen Harbor and notice how much the area has been polluted. You make it your goal to heal your neighborhood from the pollution before you decide to start a family. You have on and off again relationships which led to you (or the person that you were with) getting pregnant. You spend a lot of time gardening, keeping bees and other bugs, living the simple life, and going off the grid. You believe you can make your family sustainable without having to rely on the town's power and water. You live your best life helping the planet, caring for your kid, and dumpster diving. You love crafting your own furniture and finding someone who also shares the same love. You believe marriage is a money making scheme and never get married and your partner accepts that. Most of the main furniture in your home is crafted by you or your partner. You make your own drinks and sell your stuff every Saturday in front of your home.
