Floral Sims Legacy Challenge
Welcome to my sims legacy challenge! I know a few challenges have been made around floriograhphy but hey, I wanted to give it a go too! All the sims are based around an aspect of nature within the sims - some more obvious than others. The most important thing is enjoying this challenge - don’t worry if things go awry and you don’t complete it all! A flower can lose a petal and still flourish, as can you with this challenge!
Some general rules here, no big deal if you bend them a little
Cheats can be used, just not excessively
If you have an extra traits mod, spouses can have more traits but please keep to just 3 with the heirs!
The heir can be any gender unless stated otherwise
With each gen, start with 20,000 - spend as much as you want building/furnishing a house or move into a premade starter and save your simoleons
Please use the lot traits if specified however if none are you can use any! If there are traits specified feel free to use any more around it, but give priority slots to specified ones!
There is a little hint for each generation
