The Road Less Traveled Challenge
Originally when I set out to write this, the aim was to write up a few extra generations that could be tacked on to the end of the Not So Berry Challenge (by @lilsimsie and @alwaysimming) to add more of the game’s content to that challenge. I’ve ended up with more than a few and decided to post it as its own challenge while leaving it still set up to follow the Not So Berry Challenge if you like.
Huge thanks to my lovely friends for helping me write this challenge: Briar (@snarky-sims-witch), Hope (@homijoh, @sci-fisims), and Fiona (@spectacled-sims)
If you attempt this challenge, on it’s own or following the Not So Berry challenge, I’d love to see it! Use the hashtag #rltc or tag me @camisimblr!
