Hi! I’m Dunia Loves and this is my first post on Tumblr. I had to start with something close to my heart, my Build a Better World Legacy Challenge for The Sims 4. 🌍✨

This legacy is about raising generations to build the kind of world we all dream of. A world where everyone thrives.

Over 10 generations, your Sims will create homes, communities, and connections that grow from self-sufficiency to global thriving. It’s the perfect challenge for anyone wanting to set up a forever world in The Sims 4, blending gameplay with imagining how we can build a better world together, in-game and in real life. 💚

All the rules and graphics for this challenge are made by me, and I’ll be sharing my gameplay here too. I’m linking a spreadsheet of the rules for those who prefer that format below.

Come dream, build, and play along! 🖤

Part 5: A Helping Hand | Build a Better World Legacy Challenge

The farm’s booming, but it’s starting to wear Dunia down. So she hires someone to help out a few days a week — someone who’s great with animals, easy to talk to, and maybe… a little too charming?

Something’s growing here, and it’s not just the vegetables. 🌱

This is Part 5 of my Build a Better World Legacy Challenge — where I’m dreaming up a thriving Sims world one generation at a time.

🌿 Part 4: Thriving Alone — Build a Better World Legacy

Life on the farm is growing in more ways than one. The avocado trees are blooming, the bees are busy, and my Sim is finally starting to feel what it means to truly thrive.

Solar panels now power her tiny home, but she still loves the soft glow of candles and the sound of her guitar. There’s peace in her solitude… and a quiet question rising in her heart: Who will inherit all of this someday?

She hasn’t met anyone yet — and honestly, she prefers the company of her animals. 🐓🐄🐝

But the world has a way of sending what we need when we least expect it.

Part 3: Hungry, but hopeful. - Build a Better World

She spent everything on her tiny home. Her garden is growing — but slowly. Some nights, she goes to bed hungry.

Thankfully, she found the river. And the fish. Now she’s surviving on whatever she can catch, carve, and create.

This is Part 3 of my Build a Better World Legacy Challenge, a Sims 4 storytelling legacy about growing from surviving to thriving. 💚

Building My Tiny Home | Build a Better World Legacy Challenge

My Sim just built her very first home — a micro tiny house with a cobbled gate, a living roof, and space to grow. 🏡

She planted the first seed that will one day feed her freedom, and met some adorable neighbors along the way.

This is what the beginning of a better world looks like. ✨

I’m playing through the Build a Better World Legacy Challenge, a Sims 4 challenge I created to mix storytelling and world-building with imagining how we can all thrive — in game and in real life.

🖤 Want to play along? The rules and spreadsheet are in my pinned post.

I honestly didn't expect such a cool reaction to my legacy challenge, especially on Reddit. 💚 I’ve been getting a lot of questions about which packs are needed and how to play with just the base game, so I put together this post to help.

📦 Do I need specific packs to play this challenge? Nope! The challenge was designed to be flexible and story-first, so you can adapt any goal based on the packs you own. If you’re missing a required trait, aspiration, or career, just swap in a similar one that fits the theme.

✅ Packs That Are Most Helpful (Optional but Great)

These packs align beautifully with the challenge themes:

Eco Lifestyle – Civil Designer career, Fabrication, Neighborhood Action Plans

Cottage Living – Farming, animals, Simple Living lot trait

Parenthood – Character values and heir development

Discover University – Education career, dorm design

Island Living – Conservationist career, Sulani world

Dine Out – Restaurant goals for farm-to-table generation

Get Together – Clubs for community-building

City Living – Protests, political career

Outdoor Retreat – Herbalism, camping

Jungle Adventure / Snowy Escape – World travel & cultural knowledge

For Rent – Residential rental system for building multi-family housing and managing tenants

🧩 Suggestions for Base Game Players

You can absolutely play this with just the base game! Here’s how to adapt some core ideas:

No Eco Lifestyle? Use Handiness + Gardening instead of Fabrication. Replace Civil Designer with Freelance Maker or Manual Labor.

No Dine Out? Host dinner parties instead of running a restaurant.

No Parenthood? Focus on mentoring skills, school performance, and aspiration milestones for kids.

No Cottage Living? Use gardening + cooking for food sovereignty.

No Clubs from Get Together? Host regular social events instead.

No University? Build a learning center/community lot in place of school goals.

No Island Living? Use Oasis Springs or another neighborhood to simulate nature healing goals.

No For Rent? – Use large homes with roommates or households instead of multi-unit rentals. Use family funds to simulate rent-free or shared housing

A Patch of Land and a Dream | Generation 1 Begins

I stood at the edge of this land with nothing but a dream and the dirt beneath my feet. No house yet. No path forward. Just open sky and the promise of something better.

I used my college savings to buy this place — not because I gave up on my future, but because I wanted to build a different kind of one. One where I live off the land, grow what I need, and learn how to truly thrive.

I don’t need much. A tiny home. A little sunlight. A lot of love for the earth.

I’m a loner, sure — but I love making things. I love green and gold. I love the idea that something small can grow into something powerful.

This is the start of my forever world. This is Generation 1 of the Build a Better World Legacy Challenge. And I’m so ready to begin.
