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 that’s what brings you joy.

You can’t 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 don’t 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

I'm back!

Hello! 

For the past month, I’ve been working on a 10-Gen (possibly extended) Generational Challenge (with icons) that’s based on horror movies and spooky game packs (Paranormal, Vampires etc). I’ve completed the backstory and rules on 2 gens, and have a basic outline of what all the generations are themed off. But am struggling on deciding what to call the challenge itself. 

I’ve decided on either “Tales of Terror” or “Terror Tales” and would appreciate some help in making a decision.

(also how many packs is considered too many packs to use in a challenge??)

Maybe you want to try a generational challenge but aren't ready to commit to 10 generations. Or perhaps you're looking for motivation to explore some of the worlds in the Sims 4. If you've considered either or both, this challenge is for you!

The Location, Location, Location! challenge encourages you to explore the worlds of Strangerville, San Myshuno, Mt. Komorebi, and Sulani through four different generations of Sims. Each generation will live in their respective world and have a designated aspiration and career with a set of goals to complete before moving onto the next. Create your Sims however you think best fits their story.

For this challenge, you will need the following packs:

Strangerville

City Living

Snowy Escape

Island Living

Bonus: Get to Work

Ready? Let's get started!

_____________________________________________________________

GENERATION 1

As you advance in your career, you start to notice the town's people acting strange. You suspect it's due to the secret case the military is working on. You will do anything to solve this mystery; including sleep with an informant to get inside information. After solving the mystery, you can't trust anyone, not even your own child.

Never marry

GENERATION 2

Growing up, you watched your parent wither away from paranoia and mistrust. You resent them for never allowing you to go anywhere, resulting in your current awkwardness. As a young adult, you decide to escape into the big city of San Myshuno and leave your past behind. You're determined to make a better life for yourself and break free of your shell, refusing to let history repeat itself.

THE END

hey y’all! I have been working to add generations to the Not So Berry Challenge & I finally have it all done to share. I wanted to be inclusive of all packs as a lot of packs have come out since the original challenge. I will be adding more generations as new packs come out!

HERE is the link to the google doc with the 10 Generations done by @lilsimsie and @alwaysimming​ as well as my additional 10 Generations! 

Generations in the cut! 

It’s been a few weeks since the wedding. The awful step-mother let me stick around for a bit while I figured out where to go. The house is big enough, we don’t have to see each other--honestly that’s best for all in involved.

Charlie and Sophia are due back from their honeymoon tomorrow, so I’ve been trying to pack up the last of my things but I keep having to take breaks to throw up. I’m not sure what I ate, but it’s not settling well. Maybe you’re pregnant. The awful, impossible thought crosses my mind without permission....

Is it impossible?
