Generation 2 (Chapter 2 learning betrayal)

You were spoiled as a kid,

your parents gave you everything you could ever want

, you wanted a new toy? you got that you wanted a new bedroom? you got that you wanted a friend over? you got that.

But just because you were spoiled didn’t mean that you weren't generous

. You were so thankful for everything you got as a child and heard the stories your parents told you when you were younger. and how they went from nothing to a booming farm and good income, no they wasn’t rich or anything but they had enough that would be considered* “stable”*

You would help in the garden in any way you could, even if it meant you got dirty here and there. Growing up you had a lot of friends, girls and guys! you were especially close to one of your guy friends and always had a crush on him but never had the guts to tell him until you were a teenager... you two were highschool sweethearts you two were inseparable. Everything was great. you had a part-time job as a babysitter but you was still helping out on the farm ofc!

Once you were a young adult your parents were out around town and you wanted to surprise them with

2 animal sheds and 2 chicken coops

to raise animals on, your parents talked about wanting livestock but just never did it... 

When your parents got back they were so thrilled to see what you did, you knew you did a great thing when you saw happy tears roll down their faces.

but, sometimes your generosity was abused by friends around you and unexpectedly your own lover, but you never knew this until 5 sim weeks into your marriage, you was pondering where your husband could have been until you gotten a message from your bestie “Hey “your lovers name” I had a wonderful time last night we should go on that date again, also seriously when are you gonna leave that “your gens 2 name?” you were mortified by what you saw. tears kept falling down your face. previously you gave him 5000$ that took you a long time to get.(cheat out the 5000$)  He used it to go out with your “best friend” . You felt so much anger and sadness you didn’t know what to do. As soon as he came home you argued with your lover and it just sorta got broken off from there, your parents were watching, very shocked. you couldn’t even speak, you were so angry, you decided to sleep it off that night. but then you woke up the next morning. you felt sick and so nauseated, you couldn’t tell if you came down with something or you were just crying too hard last night. You told your parents and your mother encouraged you to take a pregnancy test. you took the test and for sure you were pregnant.  you were so confused on what to do, but you knew with your parent’s that it was gonna be just fine....

Shortly after the birth of the child, you took on a flower arranging hobby to keep your mind off of the past.

Generation 3 (Chapter 3, Failing ambitions.)

You grew up in a loving close-nit home with your grandparents and your single mother, a lot like your mother you were helping on the farm a lot but you always found yourself with the animals more than anything else on the farm.

you weren't much into love cause you always thought that it was cringe and would get in the way of your studies.. you didn’t look like your mom or any of your family, you looked alt-core.. a mix of alt and the cottage core style

then you was a teenager

you only have one friend and teachers were concerned about you due to your lack of friends. but you was okay with this cause this seemed normal to you

while doing your homework one day your grandma died of a cowplant. you were devastated. you were too sad, and for 4 days the farm was not looking so great.. ofc the animals were taken care of but the garden was looking.. strange...

you got over the death of your grandma and surprised your still mourning parent and grandpa by making the farm look.. alive again and getting rid of that cowplant.

The farm was booming once more and it was continuing as if your grandma didn’t die 4 days ago.

you then became a young adult,

you gotten into the education career.

you were happy in your job, then while running back home you ran into a co-worker and they was just jaw dropping. you wanted them in your life. you'd talk to them every day until finally you got the courage to ask them out  after work, with your bad timing and horrible people skills you thought that they weren't gonna say yes, but magically they did! you were over the moon. you came back home and noticed it was only you and your mother, you asked your mother where your grandpa was at and she said “They moved out of the farm while you was at work darling, they said they couldn’t stay here no longer cause everything reminds them of your grandmother” you didn’t say anything, you just felt sorry for that poor old person “you’re running the farm now right?” you asked sorta already knowing the answer. Your mother nodded her head “and you will be too when I am gone” you were okay with this. your partner moved in with you eventually and yall got married.. you stayed a long time without children, you and your partner didn’t care if you had children or not because of work. but a magical thing happened, a pregnancy! with... twins... oh boy! (have two children) you stayed the rest of your days cross-stitching with your lover and your twin children. that is until you couldn’t care the burden that was (Generation 3) took their twin (and siblings if they have any) and left leaving a note on the fridge. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Generation 4 (Chapter 4, learning independence)

Growing up

you were the least favored of the bunch

, so naturally you rebelled because of the lack of love from them, the only one who cared was your grandma.

Somehow

you and your twin were still close,

but you envied your twin so much. they were better in every way you wasn’t in your eyes, but your grandma saw something in you no one else did. you ended up having to teach yourself how to cook, garden and all of that cause no one taught you.

but this meant you played less on the farm and actually worked for what you had so you saw that as a plus.

in school it was no different, you had no one. you were well.. alone.

This fact did not change when you became a teen.

Story during the teenager years:

you woke up one day and noticed your blood family left(The gen 4's mom, dad and twin)  you, aside from your grandma.(Or just you) 

Story during the Youngadult years:

you go to the bar that night and don’t remember what happened next all you remember is that you woke up and that you’re prego..you don’t know how you don’t know when but you are...

-find love after the birth

-Move out generation 3 and gen 4′s sibling/s

-Once you make friends and you have a family, refuse to abandon them the way your generation 3 has done.

-(Gen 4 can have any job)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Generation 5 (Chapter 5 Grace and pose.)

Growing up you always fancied dancing, you would sometimes bust a move while taking care of the crops or doing your homework, you were considered weird by your peers, with your great grandma you learned canning and sold them on the yard sale table outside the tiny old cottage.

you had some close friends that you stuck to for years, and

you don’t know how they stood around your insane self

but you guessed that it was a good thing. When you hit the teenage stage things were sorta the same, except you got into mixing drinks and stuff, and that didn’t change when you got into young adulthood.

you became a critic

on the side of the farm.

you met someone while walking down the street, you fancied them and started talking to them more. you had a child together but it just didn’t work out after a few sim weeks.. so you adopted another child and you felt content with your life.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Generation 5 rules and goals

-Master dancing, juice fizzing, gardening and mixology

-get into mixing drinks as a teenager

-meet a person while walking down the street one day and have a child with them after a few sim weeks, realize that it’s not gonna work and break it off with them

-The great grandma should move out after you adopt a child (if they are still alive lol)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Uh oh! a TW is required here!..

--------------------------------------------------

Generation 6-Learning self love-(TW)

Growing up you were insecure of yourself, jealous and you just upright despised yourself.

Story during child lifespan:

You really never saw a proper reason to love yourself, of course your parent saw this and tried to help in any way they could.. but no matter what, the words never went through to you. This of course broke your siblings and your parent’s hearts but they never verbally communicated that with you of course. you were just a young kid. not even a teen yet.

You’d look in the mirror and try to find things to change from the way you dress, to your hair etc.

and somehow.. you’d manage to find ANY reason to hate yourself

As a child you’d only mainly change the style of your outfit.. one day you’d be a goth, another you’d be feminine and another day masculine. you were never happy with it. and it stayed like this until the teenage stage. 

Story during the teenage lifespan:

People say being a teen was supposed to be a dream but it really never was for you. it was the same day on repeat every single day, you’d get compliments on your jokes in class normally and people would laugh! but again you couldn’t tell if they were laughing at you or with you.

until a person came up to you telling you that you should be a comedian!

With that glimmer of hope you stuck with it.

At home you loved to bake and tell jokes while doing so. even when taking care of the animals or just gardening.

when you became a young adult you spent your time at university away from the farm, of course naturally you were worried about leaving the farm in your grandparent’s hands and your parent’s hands. but unlike the others in your family you wanted to be the first person to go to university in the family. 

Story during the young adult/adult stage:

and this is where you meet your roommate(s)

they made you feel like you could love yourself, you started loving the way you looked to the point there was nothing you wanted to change anymore so you stayed with the last aesthetic you chose. After university you stayed in touch with them while you pursued a career as a comedian on the side.

 things were looking up!

until you and your co-worker were fired from your dream job for hooking up with a co-worker in the back stage. you were devastated, but it was well deserved so you made peace with it. you later find out you were prego with their child. you didn’t know how your family was gonna react.. or how THEY was gonna react.

but you sucked it  up and told them anyway. your mother didn’t support you. but your grandparents did. and as for your co-worker? they was with you and decided to move in. yall wasn’t romantically involved or anything but they knew they also played a role in this as well. life continued on without a hitch <3

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GENERATION 6 RULES AND GOALS

-Change your look every day (this includes hair color, makeup etc (If you forget this it is completely ok! maybe change this to whatever makes you more comfy)

-Master-Baking, charisma and comedy skills. 

-Go to university and be bestfriends with your roommates

-woohoo with a coworker (At carrier level 5)

-get fired from your job when you reach level 5 in it

-Get into the entertainment career

-Get married to the co-worker when you are an elder.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GENERATION 7-Learning music and balance..

Growing up you loved the sound of music, people called you “snow white” as a nickname since you always sang to the birds and the other animals on the farm. Your dream was to be a musician! (You must go to the entertainer career and when you get to level 5 you must pick the musician branch)

General story:

Your grandma didn’t like you too well.. You never knew why and didn’t understand. She would try to make you feel down about your musical abilities and tell you to focus on farm work and not the “gross music” because she believed it wouldn’t get you anywhere in this thing called life. 

You of course ignored her since you let music guide you in life, music is what strives you to do better on the farm and in school.

Story during the teen lifespan:

When you became a teenager you really started working on your career, you played the guitar and the violin, whilst upgrading on the broken things on the farm. 

you wasn’t the popular kid so you didn’t have many friends which was not any different when you was a young adult, 

Story during the Youngadult lifespan:

Which all of that came to a sudden and abrupt and sudden halt when one night a house fire happened in the late hours of the night. 

Which caused the death of your parents (Gen six and whoever they are with)

 your grandma was hurt about this. 

The house fire ruined everything your grandparent from MANYYY generations ago worked so hard on. 

You were devastated. Your grandmother blamed you for the house fire  and told you to fend for yourself. You were there, alone looking at the burning home, you didn’t really have anyone else besides yourself. You watched as it burned to the ground.

You didn’t have anything to sleep in so you rested on the ground till the fire stopped (wooo passing out this is fun) You knew life wasn’t gonna be the same from now on..You took on a part time job as babysitter while taking care of the garden and the animals that didn’t get touched by the fire.

Once money started coming in you started rebuilding for once was. While building on the final touches of the house you notice a person walking past you, you want to talk to them. Anyone aside from yourself, plants and co-workers. They noticed the situation that you were in a couple of days ago and wanted to offer help but were afraid to, they also were wondering if they could stick around your place to see how things go and to help you out. You hesitated at first but accepted anyway, this was great in your favor. They helped fix the issues around the newly built cottage and decided to move in. yall became best friends and eventually… lovers. 

You couldn’t ever achieve your dream of being a musician.. But you thought that it was better this way…

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GENERATION 8-Learning to believe-

You grown up in a household that was tense

Your parent would always force you and your siblings to ONLY do farm work, your siblings was ok with this.

Story when you’re at the child lifespan:

 but you found this time consuming, 

you couldn’t have hobbies or a  life outside of your family other than their farm, 

you heard the stories of the farm’s history and how it began and how it became to what it is today. Which was interesting but you couldn’t manage to find yourself to believe any single bit of it. Like how can one come from nothing but a tent and a planter with only 14 dollars in their pocket to now?!?!?!?! 

And this stayed the same till you were a teen.

Story when you are in the teen lifespan:

You mainly focused on research and debate gardening and handiness 

You always laughed at your parent’s and your siblings for believing such foolery. How could (your gens 1 name) do that? How special were they, and why were they even that important to the family?

You wanted to find that out for yourself when you became a young adult.

Story when you’re a youngadult:

You told your parents and your siblings how you were gonna prove to them that no one can build from the ground up. They all rolled their eyes and laughed at you “dear,ain’t this farm enough evidence?” you chuckled and said “no.” so you set off to find some flat land to take over to prove to those crazy people that no one can build from the ground up.

You went out in the world with nothing but a tent, a planter and 14 dollars. Just like how your family claimed that (your gen 1’s name) did. You found a place and started setting things up.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You did exactly how (gen 1) did it. You went fishing, planted veggies and built them from the ground up, and tried to find a lover from where you would fish. Things were as you expected it. Difficult, how could anyone live like this?!?!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You were about to head back to the original cottage when a handsome PERSON came up to you and said hi, they was.. Breathtaking… you didn’t know what came over you but you stumbled all over your words. 

Which they laughed at that.

 you felt embarrassed. But apparently they wasn’t laughing at AT AT you they just thought your stuttering was cute, they talked about how they was also homeless and was trying to build from the ground up and then you noticed (hey! I am doing that too!) so you said

 “wait, you’re building from the ground up as well?” his eyes lit up and yall started bonding, he wanted to look at what you are dealing with and you nodded and had him come over (move in)

He was so shocked with what you have done and said “Wow.. you are doing so great!!” this man was so gentle and kind to you your heart was going crazy. He offered to help out with the cottage and live with you to the end, which you happily said yes to! You needed all the help you could get...

you spent your days together baking sweet treats and cross stitching and growing your ever-growing garden! And taking care of your only child and your adopted child.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RULES AND GOALS OF THIS GENERATION

-move out and do the exact THING you did in gen 1

-Have a PERSON walk up and talk to you

-Max out -Research and debate, gardening, handiness and cross stitching 

-Have one child and then adopt the other child

-bake with your lover or kids at least once a week or more

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Generation 9-(PARTY and decisions)

You hated the idea of love, always. Though you liked the idea of family and closeness 

You loved doing family events and having friends and having a farm you always hoped to take over when you get older.\

You were pretty popular growing up, the whole town literally LOVED you. You were known as “gentle and kind” exactly like your father. You were  the social butterfly that everyone literally wanted to be.

When you became a young adult as expected you took over the farm. 

You would still bake and cross stitch and sell those goods while taking care of the farm, you were sorta a party animal though, so you would occasionally host house parties and family reunions. Which was a HIT. in your 10th time of hosting a house party a friend of yours wanted to invite someone to the party and introduce them to you, you said that well “yes” they can come over.  Your friend introduced you to them and theyyy.. Was the complete opposite from you.

They was edgy and “hardcore” while you was “innocent looking” and “sweet” you was annoyed immediately. Whilest partying you had one too many drinks and eventually passed out. You woke up in a bed next to the edgy guy “Hey you’re awake” you said “oh.. Hi?” you wanted to get to know them since they were an interesting character.

As you kept to yourself you avoided many conversations with him and made it a point to keep him in the friend zone. (At this point you can decide if they get with him or if she doesn’t and continue life as it is.)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rules and goals of this gen

-Meet a edgy guy at a party

-be friends with almost the whole town

-be a party animal

-Have at least one kid (the story is up to you on how and why they had a kid)

-Max the cooking, baking and the charisma skill

-host a party or a family reunion once a week or 5 sim weeks

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------GENERATION 10-Greed and trust------------

Your parents were quite the party animals when they were younger, but when they had you things sorta died down. You had a dream to be rich. Even if it meant to do some dirty work to do so. you surrounded yourself with the wrong crowd. You did horrible in school and never took care of yourself. You also never took care of the garden or animals on the farm. You and your parents have never seen eye to eye. You felt alone and different from them and the rest  of your family…

You decided to take matters into your own hands and run away

(now the rest of the story is up to you)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

GEN 10 RULES AND GOALS

-Surround yourself with the “wrong crowd”

-don’t do well in school

-have a negative relationship with the parents
