🥖 Gen One — Buttered Toast

Young Adult

Your legacy begins with Buttered Toast, a warm, mellow soul whose life motto is simple: “soft music, soft lighting, soft living.” Their wardrobe is all browns and soft yellows, like they were dipped in sunshine and café woodgrain.

They move into a small wooden home—nothing fancy, just something that smells like pine and safety.

Buttered Toast believes that the world’s beauty is meant to be shared, so busking becomes their art, their career, and their joy. On sidewalks and in small plazas, they sing, strum, or tap rhythms into the hearts of passersby.

Rules:

Have hints of brown/yellow in your appearance

House must have wood + yellow accents

Make all money from busking (singing, guitar, drums, etc.)

Ambition: Creative Expression

Desired Life: Simplicity of Life

Master Singing and Guitar

Optional: Dine out at a café twice a week (They love their warm drinks + open mic corners)

Story Hook: Their life is soft, calm, and cozy—but little do they know that their love of warmth and comfort will inspire the ambition (and the drama) of every generation that follows.

🍊 Gen Two — Marmalade

Teenager → Young Adult

Marmalade grows up admiring their parent’s peaceful life—but they want more. More excitement, more certainty, more success, more… everything. While they’re sweet at heart, their life has tanginess—just like their name.

As a teen, they fall into their first love. It feels perfect. Predestined. But when adulthood hits, the relationship spoils. They break up as soon as they become a young adult, leaving Marmalade determined to never rely on anyone again.

They throw themselves into social events, group gatherings, and juggling multiple love interests, searching for a spark strong enough to match their drive. Somewhere along the way, they gain one enemy—because you simply can’t have a life this dramatic without someone who hates your success.

Marmalade is brilliant, methodical, and organized. They sharpen their critical thinking, housework, and cooking skills before pushing themselves through college, earning a degree, and climbing the Business Career ladder.

But life twists unexpectedly: Marmalade becomes a single parent of two children. They willingly skip work to care for them because they refuse to let their childhood be as simple—or as directionless—as Buttered Toast’s was.

Rules:

Teen → YA heartbreak with high school sweetheart

Attend lots of social gatherings; have 2 love interests

Must have 1 enemy

Focus: Critical Thinking, Housework, Cooking

Must attend college & graduate

Enter and excel in the Business Career

Skip at least 2 work days to care for your kids

Must become a Single Parent

Must have 2 ChildrenStory Hook: Marmalade swears their children will have structure, ambition, and opportunity… But destiny has other plans: those two kids will become inseparable 

🥜🍓 Gen Three — Peanut Butter & Strawberry Jam (Dual Heirs)

Young Adult Focused

These siblings are born during Marmalade’s busiest, most stressful era—but they grow up clinging to each other like the two halves of the perfect sandwich.

Despite being wildly opposite, they vow to never separate, living together until the very end.

🥜 Sibling One — Peanut Butter

The grounded one. Structured. Ambitious. They idolize Marmalade’s determination and want to follow in those business-flavored footsteps.

Peanut Butter’s life is defined by routine—early mornings, exercise, steaming cups of coffee, career goals pinned to every wall. They master:

Rhetoric

Responsibility

Exercise

They settle into a more traditional life: one partner, one child, everything stable.

🍓 Sibling Two — Strawberry Jam

The charmer. Impulsive. Romantic chaos personified. Where Peanut Butter is smooth and controlled, Jam is sticky, sweet, and irresistible.

They explore romance freely—dating multiple partners, going on three dates a week, and mastering Charisma like they’re collecting hearts.

They have at least 2 children, and every day is a new whimsical adventure.

Shared Rules:

They live together until death

They must have opposing likes/dislikes + ambitions

Sibling One masters: Rhetoric, Responsibility, Exercise

Sibling One: 1 partner & 1 child

Drink coffee every day

Sibling Two masters: Charisma

Sibling Two: multiple partners, 2+ children

Must attend 3 Dates a Week (be flexible)

Choose the next heir from one of their children

Story Hook: The next generation will inherit the blended chaos of this household—structure and spontaneity, routine and romance. Which child will represent the next flavor of the family legacy?

🍦 Gen Four — Yogurt

Young Adult

Yogurt grows up in a loud, mixed household—but while everyone else chased drama, careers, and romance, Yogurt found peace in the kitchen. Cooking becomes their passion, their purpose, and eventually their entire identity.

They dedicate themselves to healthy living, balancing time between exercising, tending their garden, and mastering recipes made with their own fresh ingredients. Their garden becomes legendary—an ever-growing collection of rare plants and produce that fuels their dream of becoming a true Master Chef.

Where other generations made their mark through music or business, Yogurt’s legacy is flavor, nourishment, and a home that always smells like something good is on the stove.

Rules:

Career: Sell collectibles or part-time position somewhere!

Must master Cooking, Gardening, and Exercise skills.

Cook primarily using garden-grown ingredients

Complete the full Gardening Collectible Catalog

Must Have at least 1 child.

🍁 Gen Five — Maple Swirl

Middle School → Adult

Born in a home filled with fresh meals and thriving plants, Maple Swirl grows up surrounded by warmth, comfort, and love. But unlike their peaceful parent, Maple feels a pull toward the world beyond the garden. They crave creativity, movement, and a chance to carve a legacy that blends both sweetness and edge.

Maple Swirl becomes obsessed with aesthetic living—designing, decorating, capturing beauty, and finding magic in everyday routines. They want a life that looks and feels intentional, artistic, and flavorful… just like their name.

They explore style, interior design, photography, fashion, and crafting until they find their calling: creating spaces and visuals that inspire others. Maple becomes the trendy, artsy soul of the family—part influencer, part designer, part wanderer.

But beneath all the style lies a deeper mission: to honor the family’s generational warmth while building a future that’s uniquely their own.

Rules:

Focus Career: Freelance Photography

Home must become the most aesthetic, well-decorated house of the legacy

Master: Photography and Coffee Art

Are you wanting to explore the jungle? Become the next world renowned explorer? Do you want to explore every aspect Selvadorada has to offer? If yes, this is the challenge for you!

This is the road to Selvadorada Legacy challenge, a Five generation legacy which focuses on The Sims 4 Jungle Adventure game pack.

Basic Rules:

Try to explore all of Selvadorada or as much as possible.

Keep the lifespan on normal. (long lifespan is optional)

Money cheats can be used, but only once. I suggest using freerealestate for your first home or raising your household funds slightly ($2500) to go to the jungle for the first time, but no cheats afterwards.

You cannot use any relics during the first & Third generations. You may keep the parts if excavated but they can not be assembled and used.

I personally adore Berry Sweet challenges, which is why I came up with the “Sweet or Sour Berry Legacy Challenge”! This challenge is all about choices. It is a 5 generations, EP oriented berry sweet legacy with a twist, adapting different berry sweet legacy rules, such as from the berry pastel rainbowcy challenge and the pastel patisserie challenge, but adding my own twist to it!

The first generation is most important. It’s where you either choose to continue on the challenge as a “Sweet” sim, following more botanical and artistic rules, or that of a “Sour” sim, following more experimental and challenging rules. There are no color restrictions on either choice, just traits/aspirations. Each generation has one main objective that needs to be completed before moving on to the next generation. All other rules are obligatory but do add a challenge to the generations.

Disclaimer: Obviously you’re allowed to alter the challenge however you want! This is supposed to be a free and fun challenge and I’d love to see how different people take on the rules :)
