Sims 12 Generation Zodiac Challenge
The Zodiac 12 Generation Challenge is a Sims 4 challenge designed around the archetypes associated with the Western zodiac. As typical for generation challenges, begin with a single sim representing the first generation, then choose 1 of their children to be the representative of the next generation.
Challenges are, at their core, a way to bring fun and breathe new life into The Sims. As such, you are always welcome to interpret or alter anything in this challenge to make it more fun for yourself. You can cheat to make things easier or harder for yourself, if thatâs what brings you joy.
You canât lose the challenge, but the fun is meant to come from trying to achieve everything. However, if a sim dies 3 days into their young adulthood, you donât lose the challenge. Just do your best to keep going and make it part of the story!
This challenge uses Sims 4 traits, aspirations, and careers available from packs/kits through 2021/2022. If you are missing required content just adjust the challenge to fit what you have available as closely as you can
