Goodnight

Hello! I’m Simbones! *waves*

I created this challenge as I never play with Vampires anymore and I thought it would be great idea to combine general gameplay with Vampire generations. 

This challenge is based on the same style of the Not So Berry challenge, which I love and I enjoy the general layout so I wanted to create a similar style challenge but with Occults. You don’t have to stick to any colours for this Challenge, I just wanted to keep the format the same. If you haven’t already, you can check out the NSB Challenge here.

You can follow my gameplay over on my blog @simbonez​

Use the hashtag #shadowmoon to share your stories!

RULES:

There are some notes on some Gen rules, I have tried to explain as much as I can, but ultimately how you play this challenge, story wise is up to you.

Gender is not specific to any Generation, apart from Gen 2, where you must birth a son, a ‘male heir’ this will be the first born male. This ‘heir’ however is a false heir and will not be the heir to the next generation, Gen 3.

If a sim specifies that they have a coven, you must make a coven using the GTW group feature. You may put whoever in this coven, the only rule is that they vampires.

If another occult is mentioned in a Gen, e.g A Witch, give them the Vampire occult.

Money cheats can be used, but only to purchase a Gen’s first home, this must be realistic however, especially if they have money tasks in their rules.

If their is no career specified for a gen, you can choose if they have a career or not, such as the vampire aspiration gens.

Explanations:

Bloodline - a direct descendant of your selected sim.

Pureblood - a ‘true’ vampire, a sim that has not been turned, but is a descendant from vampire parents. 

Coven - A group of vampires using GTW Clubs. If a sim specifies that they have a coven, you must make a coven using the GTW Club feature. You may put whoever in this coven, the only rule is that they are vampires.

Let me know if you have any questions! I haven’t yet play-tested, so let me know if you find any conflicts within the story line!

I hope you enjoy!

Welcome to the Sims 4 Neighbourhood Legacy Challenge! This legacy challenge is designed to showcase the best of every neighbourhood within the Sims 4. Each generation will be based within each Sims 4 neighbourhood - so this will require all of the current packs!

This will be the trait selection style for each sim born into the legacy. You may wish to make this harder by randomising a trait within each category as well! ~ Set your lifespan to long or normal - long is recommended ~ At the start of each generation you must move your sim into the neighbourhood and lot required for this level of the legacy.

An Eeveelution (Japanese: ブイズ Vuis) is a term used for the current group of eight Pokémon that evolve from Eevee. It is a portmanteau of the words “Eevee” and “evolution”. Its definition may be extended to include Eevee itself.

★ a 9 generation legacy challenge for ts4 ★ see the ts3 version here!

this “challenge” started off as me just wanting a chill gameplay save. so the rules are really just guidelines in case you might not know what to do, if you think eevee should be a jungle explorer, then make them do that! if you have career mods that fit their types better, use those! it’s all up for interpretation. this is just meant to be a fun little legacy.

by people demand here it is! this is obviously my first time making a challenge up on my own so it might be a little….weird but it’s really about your own interpretation of eeveelutions and having fun. (also shoutout to @tainoodles for helping me with some ideas). if you want to do this tag it as #eevee legacy so i can see it!! i’d love to see other people’s eeveelution sims :)

It’s dangerous to go alone! Take this angry cat with you.
