#bloomacy

Hi all, welcome to a new legacy (attempt)!

I'd been in a TS2 dry spell for well over a year until I stumbled across one of @keoni-chan's latest legacies, Sims In Bloom, which keoni adapted for TS2 from the original TS4 challenge created by a-sims-garden. Suddenly, I had the itch to play again. (Thank you for adapting this ruleset, keoni!)

While I'm mostly using keoni's ruleset, I've decided to add a little hardship to my legacy, and have added these along with more optional challenges and LTW fulfillment bonuses that will change with each generation. I have not playtested any of these so they might switch up a little as I go! I'm also playing with Lamare's 50 New LTWs mod and pforestsims' edit of Atomtanned's Trait-Based Chemistry.

Daisy will become downloadable once her generation is finished. Or I give up. Whichever comes first.

My added hardships are:

🏵Failure to complete the required generational challenges before the next heir reaches adulthood will result in a financial penalty for the next heir. The heir will now begin their generation with only 2500 starting simoleons. 🏵Failure to complete generational challenges before the current heir dies will result in a financial penalty of only 500 starting simoleons for the next heir and a hardship from the list below, for which the player must roll to determine:

A Series of Unfortunate Events: For the first season of your heir’s generation, you must play based on fears, not wants. Wants may be achieved autonomously or by chance, but cannot be achieved with Watcher meddling. After a full season, this handicap may be lifted.

A Lesson in Chemistry: your heir must marry a 0 or negative bolter. There are no penalties if attraction develops during the course of the relationship.

Doing It the Hard Way: your heir is not allowed to hire service sims, dig for treasure, or use aspiration rewards until they have passed the torch.

One Way Street: your heir may not use the elixir of life, cowplant milk, or challenge death to save themselves or loved ones. Similarly, loved ones may not challenge death to save the heir.

A Little Dose of Chaos: you may not control your heir’s children or spouse until your heir has completed at least one generational challenge.

Patriarchy or Matriarchy: your heir may only pass the torch to a biological child of the same gender. Adopted children cannot be chosen as heir with this handicap. Generation 2 is not exempt from this penalty should they roll it. To account for this, generation 2’s requirements have been edited.

As for Daisy...

Daisy's generational challenges are:

🏵 Achieve a gold gardening badge before the next heir ages to adult. 🏵 Receive a perfect garden score from the Garden Club 🏵 Grow mouthwatering versions of all fruits and veggies 🏵 Marry a Garden Club member Optional: become a plantsim and have a plant baby Optional: Grow a cowplant

Daisy's hardships are:

🏵 No traditional career allowed! You may make money only by selling produce directly from the menu or through a home business

🏵 Only a child with a genuine interest (5+) in animals may become heir

If Gen 2's chosen heir rolls romance, you're allowed 1 re-roll!
