The Originals Legacy Challenge
Hey guys, Iβm a big fan of The Originals and legacy challenges so I thought why not combine both? This legacy challenge has more to do with storytelling, which is one of my favorite things when playing the Sims 4! Thereβs also aspects of the game that you may not usually be used to playing with. Just a disclaimer, this legacy challenge uses a lot of the game pack content of Realm of Magic and Vampires! This is a 12 generation legacy!
This is supposed to be fun so if you want to change anything about this legacy challenge, you can!Β
Each generation is based on each of the main characters of The Originals, besides Hope Mikaelson, just because I would also love to make a Legacies legacy challenge at some point!Β
Iβm currently playing through each of the generations, which I will be posting on my tumblr @happysimmer, there may be some changes to the rules as I play through them!Β
The basic rules are just like the other legacy challenges but Iβll still mention:Β
Money cheats can be used, but not excessively. Suggestion: use freerealestate for your first home, but no cheats afterward; cheats can also be used for storytelling purposes!
You may live wherever you please unless something is specified in the rules of a generation.
Keep the lifespan normal.
Complete all of the goals of each generation to fully complete the gen!Β
For careers, itβs up to you if you would like to max the career!Β
If you decide to play this legacy challenge, use the tag #TOlegacy so I can see your gameplay!Β
I, personally, like to play my game modded. Below, I listed some mods that I would recommend throughout this legacy challenge!Β
Woohoo Wellness Mod by Lumpinou
Wonderful Whims by Turbodriver
MC Command Center byΒ
Shorter University Degrees by PeriΒ
ALL vampire mods by Zero
Iβm currently playing through generation 1 and will be updating my gameplay soon! I will be updating the rules as I play through them to make sure that they are achievable! You can find the full document of legacy rules here!
________________________________________________________________

Your parents had a lot of enemies in their time. Could be because one parent is a powerful spellcaster and the other parent is considered a playboy/girl. Either way, your parents kept you away from the outside world, wanting to protect you. Your sibling(s) immediately took into their power and started training at a young age. You?

You were given away once you were born and raised by your aunt/uncle. You were raised knowing that your parents abandoned you to your adoptive parents. You were thankful for your parents for watching over you and believing in your dreams and aspirations. Youβve always wanted to be an actress; just to be someone else for a little while. You spend your time at the bar to cope with all of your problems in your free time. You donβt find out that your cousins are your siblings and that you were actually raised by your aunt/uncle until your young adulthood. Once you realize the truth, you try to rekindle your relationship with your siblings.

Your parents become the most important people to youβ¦ Even in death. Your parents both pass away in a horrible accident when youβre only a teenager. The loss you felt is indescribable and you vow to do all of the things that your family has always wanted to accomplish. As you start looking back to your familyβs history, you start to learn more about the secrets your parents had hid from you all of this time. You start to learn about your heritage in the sorcerer world. You become passionate about learning more about witchcraft and spend your time protecting spellcasters.

Growing up, you were basically raised by one parent and neglected by the other. Because of this, you spent your young teen years, rebelling, sneaking out and heading to the bar. You have a bad relationship with the parent who stayed, just because in your mind, you believe that they are the reason that your other parent wasnβt there for you. During your young adulthood, thereβs a terrible accident and you pass away. You remember the book that your mother/father gave you and it saves your life. After that traumatic experience, you never want to experience that again. You seek the help of a vampire who gives you eternal life. You leave your old life behind and find a new family, new friends, who are just like you. You become the leader of the vampire tribe and you are trusted and respected by many. You rekindle a relationship that you had forgotten about in this new life. You fall in love and start a family. Your spouse doesnβt want to become a vampire but you canβt imagine going back.

You grew up feeling and being different from your sibling(s). Your sibling(s) were tuned to their vampire abilities immediately growing up, while you struggled more. During your teen years, you arenβt as confident in your abilities and in yourself. You have a hard time figuring out who you are. Once you realize your sexuality, you start to become more confident. Turns out, youβre just a sarcastic queer kid who loves partying and is less worried about being the most powerful vampire, like the rest of your family. You become best friends with a spellcaster, you can both relate to feeling different to everyone else. Youβre a loyal, fun-loving and hilarious best friend that everyone loves and connects with the first moment that you meet them.

Youβve always been different from your fun-loving, vampire-loving family; and youβve resented them for it. Youβve kept to yourself and loved a calm and almost a βgrayβ life, if you will. You hate everything about your vampire side and you hate your siblings for willingly wanting to be a vampire. Youβve watched the rest of your family have this special bond with each other and youβve always been left behind. You have a bad relationship with all of your family members. One day, you end up meeting another vampire, who changes the way you think about that side of you. They help you realize that a lot of good can be done and itβs not just all evil.

β"If by Hell you mean somewhere you are betrayed by those you hold most dear, then it's from Hell I've just come."
Youβve always been intrigued by your vampire side, unlike your sibling(s), although it was resented by your parents. While they told you to live a normal life, you spent your time reading about vampire lore and aspiring to be the most powerful being in all of the sims worlds. Once your parents find out about your nights out, hunting humans, they immediately turn you away and kick you out of the house. You resent them for treating you that way, family is supposed to be for forever. Once you start looking back on your family history, you find out that you have a different parent than your sibling(s). You feel betrayed and hurt by the people who are supposed to be your family. You become a chaotic spirit and go out to meet new people, feed from new people, just because you have a lowkey fear of being alone. You meet a human, who is the purest and kindest being. They are there for you through all of your havoc. After a crazy night out, you hook up with this sim and a child is born. Everyone around you doubted that you would be a good parent but you love this little being more than anything and your partner believes in you just as much. Once your child is born, you become less reckless and selfish; you will do anything to protect your family.Β

βThe road to redemption is long and winding, but worthy.β
You were loved and cared for deeply by your parents. You were always taught to be whoever you are and never be ashamed of it. Youβve always taken from your human side of the family, always being honorable, compassionate and empathetic but you still have taken some traits from your vampire side, unpredictable, overprotective, and stubborn. You hear from your other vampires the legacy that has been left from your vampire parent. You donβt want the actions of your parents before they had you to affect your familyβs legacy. You want to show everyone that you can be a vampire and be kind as well. You aspire to be a good vampire.

Generation Ten: Hayley MarshallΒ
βThe truth is that my husband died because he loved me, and loving any of us is a death sentence, isnβt it?β
You were raised in a broken home with amazing and powerful parents, who did everything they could do to give you a good life. Though this is true, the legacy that your ancestors have created for you have affected even you, in present time. Youβve still got generations of enemies that only want to ruin your family before your family can ruin them. During your teen years, you fall in love with your soulmate. You marry in early young adulthood and you canβt believe how happy you are. As soon as your child is born, your husband is killed by one of your grandfather/motherβs enemies. Youβve never felt this much pain before. You become ruthless and cold. Your husbandβs sibling starts becoming more present in your life and in your childβs life; helping you raise them. Youβre thankful for them but want to erase your familyβs legacy and all of the pain that it has given you. You find your own pack among your peers and they become your family.

Growing up, youβve always been a hopeless romantic. How can you not be when your parents have told you all of the stories of them falling in love? After the loss of one of your parents, you become extremely dependent on your old sibling. You fear being alone and you long to have a normal teenage life. But how could you? When the legacy created before you has altered everything about your life? All youβve ever wished for is finding your soulmate and having the most perfect family. In your young adulthood, your sibling passes away, leaving behind a child. You feel this loss more than anything and become impulsive in your nature; not trusting anyone or anything anymore. You take in their child, seeing yourself in them; feeling their loss and pain. You find the love of your life, in your late young adulthood and you finally feel trust and love. You wish to grow old with your partner, so you take the cure to raise your family in the βnormalβ way youβve always wanted.Β

βYou know, sometimes I ask myself why I let people like Klaus into my life. I have this destructive pattern. Iβm always drawn to the bad boys. Maybe deep down, I feel like thatβs what I deserve.β
You had a great relationship with your parents. They loved you unconditionally and always supported everything you are. They never shone away from the stories of the legacy behind you. Although there was a lot of darkness, you always found the good in the stories, the redemption stories of each of your ancestors. Itβs something that you bring with you as you get older and meet new people. You find yourself falling in love with the wrong people, always trying to fix them. You never lose your shine but it hurts, every time they let you down. You focus your time on your career, you love children and become an educator. You spend your free time writing the βMikaelsonβ novels, based on each of your ancestors. Thereβs something to learn in each of the stories and you want to show everyone these lessons.
