#simplysimulated

Brand new challenge inspired by The Sims 4 Lovestruck! Another commission from the lovely @simplyrockie 💜 There's so much fun stuff in this one, I hope you all enjoy it!

This collab with the incredible @simplyrockie now has graphics! The graphics were made by a truly talented creator @sulsulmelli ! Please go show both of them support!! I love collaborating with other amazing creators and this one was so fun!! I hope you enjoy the challenge!🤗🤍

Welcome to the Brew and Bloom Legacy Challenge! A 10-generation storytelling adventure where every heir is inspired by a different coffee drink (inspired by Malixa's Boba Tea Tales!) From bold beginnings to sweet romances, political scandals, seasonal coziness, and even real-estate chaos, each generation brings its own flavor of drama and growth.

This is a challenge about blooming through every season of life — starting with nothing, building an empire, falling in love, falling apart, and finding yourself again. Whether you’re a storyteller, builder, challenge lover, or chaotic simmer… there’s a cup in this café with your name on it.

Sip slowly, stir the drama, and let your legacy begin. ☕✨ Tag your posts with #BrewAndBloomLegacy so I can see your gameplay!

Note: This is a live document and is subjected to change

I had a blast working with @simplyrockie to create these infographics for her Legacy Chronicles Challenge! She wanted each one to look like pages in a diary or journal, which I had a lot of fun with.

Welcome to the Icons Legacy Challenge! Created by @Storytellerwhims and @simplyrockie. A unique, story-driven 10-generation Sims 4 legacy challenge blending personality, purpose, and pack diversity.
