Welcome to the Days of the Week Challenge! A seven generation challenge where every sim is inspired by a different day of the week. 

Standard Rules:

If you miss something, just keep going! Have fun with it! 

Feel free to tweak this as you see fit (i.e. If there’s a trait or career you don’t have in your game, substitute for what best fits)

If you actually play this challenge, I wanna see your posts so please tag them with #dotwchallenge!
