The Fatal Flaws Legacy Challenge
The premise of this challenge is that each generation is confronted with a āfatal flawā that they either decide to overcome or revel in. The reason I wrote this challenge was because I realized that the sims I enjoyed playing most were ones with ānegativeā traits. I had a lot of fun writing this, so I hope at least one other person has fun playing it :)Ā Google Doc Link
This challenge is greatly improved by any mods that make actually traits matter, e.g. personality please, roburkyās meaningful stories.
This challenge is more story-based than game-play based, though thereās elements of both
You donāt need to complete the aspirations! Theyāre only meant as a guide + are also there for the sake of the aspiration trait.
The only generations that really requireĀ an expansion pack are gen 4: squeamish, because that particular trait comes from outdoor retreat and gen 7: lazy, because it requires you to adopt animals.
Feel free to go to university any generation if you feel like it suits your simās story/you want to.
you didnāt grow up in the happiest or most functional of households. and so you moved out as soon as you could. now itās just you, your dog, and your shitty job. youāre kind of an asshole, but you canāt help it ā itās a deep-seated defense mechanism from your past. other people canāt hurt you if you hurt them first, right? but as you grow older, you start to realise that, more than anything, you want the loving family you never had. if only you could find someone who could make it past your terrible social skills in order to see the big heart you have hidden underneath.
traits: mean, dog lover (base game: gloomy) + family orientated (YA)
aspiration: big happy family
career: retail + can pick another part time career as an adult on top of that (optional)
start the generation as a teen on an empty lot.
drop out of high school using a mod, or just simply donāt go.
make money from the retail career + dumpster diving, fishing, collectibles, anything, just never get a proper full time job.
be mean to everyone you met until you meet you spouse.
when you age up into young adult, meet and woo a sim of your choice (optional: they have the good trait.)
have at least three kids and become at least āfriendsā level relationship Ā Ā with all of them.
Cats and Dogs: have a dog with the friendly trait, become companions with them.
Parenthood: if you want an extra challenge, age up from teenager to have the insensitive trait from negative empathy.
