#taletime

Hello and welcome to the TaleTime Legacy Challenge, an Interactive legacy which is based on literature genres and consists of 10 generations.

Being an interactive legacy means most of the generations have few options to choose from. Options from the same gen have a common theme but different rules and stories that I created "in style" of certain literature genres. Сhoosing a certain option may lead to a storyline that cannot be reached otherwise. So while taking a specific path be aware that some later gens' options might NOT be available for you any more.

The stories prior to every single option are NOT meant to be perceived literally as a description of your character's life. It suppose to give you a setting and vibe that is inherent in this particular storyline. Purely for additional inspiration and fun.

Short disclaimer: English is not my native language so I'm sorry in advance for any grammatical mistakes.

General rules:

You can play on any lifespan (but I suggest playing on Normal one).

You can use any money/real estate cheats (unless generation's rules state otherwise).

You can live wherever you want, with your parents/sibilings or without them (unless it's specified in the generation's rules).

You DON'T have to complete career and aspiration (unless it's said in the generation's rules).

Almost each generation starts when the heir becomes Young Adult.

There are more details about heirs at the end of each gens' description. Make sure you read it BEFORE starting the next generation.

There are main rules for each generation and optional ones. You can choose any of the optional rules to complete or just ignore them.

Many gens have only two necessary traits for your character which means YOU have to choose the other trait or spin the "random wheel". Same goes for career and aspiration if they are not stated.

This legacy was created using content from many packs. If you don't have some of the required sims packs, you can adjust some rules to still be able to play.

Keep in mind that I added a few variations to some of the gens' rules so it contains options from different packs or a base game. You can choose to accomplish all of them or pick the one that is more available and/or preferable to you.

You DON'T have to complete all of the options given for each generation. The goal is to choose ONE heir from the kids and play the specific option that is dedicated for this heir. You DON'T have to play with their sibilings and complete their options as well.

The most important rule:

NO RULES! It's meant to be fun and enjoyable. If you don't wanna do something or wanna do it the other way around, then don't force some rules upon yourself. It's more of a guideline anyway!

Btw: tag of the challenge is #TaleTimeLegacyChallenge. Hope you'll enjoy it!

(I'm curently working on some visual chart for this legacy to make it easier for players to keep track of all the generation's options. Stay tuned!)

Gen 1. The Tale of Hoods and Fairy Creatures

Once upon a time there was a Sim. The Sim was young, friendly and simply the most cheerful human being who was ever seen. the Sim didn't have any parents - for they were just a poor little orphan - but they had a grandparent and a best friend who was always near their side. This friend was the most enchanting talking animal though none of the folk have ever hear them talk. One day the charming Sim took their charming friend to explore what lies beyond the woods and find a good place to start a new exciting life.

Gen 3.1 Remember Sunny the Tragic Clown

Today I decided to practice my new performance at the local park. Perhaps, testing something new for the first time in front of a big crowd wasn't the smartest decision... but anyway, it doesn't matter now. Long story short, I tried to execute some fruit juggling. It was going rather well at first, but then all of a sudden this treacherous banana slipped right out of my hands! And, of course, the next second, in my oversized shoes, I slipped on a banana peel and plopped on the ground. I hit my nose on the sidewalk so hard that tears came out of my eyes. But guess what? Nobody was upset! Instead everyone was laughing and giggling at my awkward drop. They thought it was part of the show! So I decided to rename the entry - now it's called Tears of a Clown!

Whispers spoke of this powerful treasure, an artifact, lost for centuries in the enchanted lands of the kingdom.

Gen 4.2 The Fallen Kingdom

Life of a royal heir is carefree, joyful and extremely simple. At least that's what Sim always hoped for. As a child, their life consisted of endless balls, dinner parties and other pleasant entertainments. A grand castle, adorned with intricate tapestries, has always seemed to be a safe hideaway from the worries of a difficult outside world.

Gen 4.3 One String to Rule Them All

In the twilight of a cozy autumn evening the cobblestone streets shimmered with the glow of torches. Warm light streamed from the tavern window on the corner of the street and laughter, music and dancing could be heard from the inside. On a small stage the bard played a cheerful brisk melody which was complemented by the clatter of heels and the clink of dishes. An instrument in the hands of the young bard was pouring a river of sonorous sounds and the voice, so strong and confident, was sweeter than the birds singing. Yet, despite their melodious charm and nimble fingers, fame and glory always seemed to dance just out of reach.

Your first living expirience made it very clear: being a nice person with a normal job and day-to-day concerns is quiet boring. You don't wanna waste your second life on these nonsense. This one is destined to be great! It's time to become a mastermind, go down in history and maybe even think about world domination...

Gen 5.1 Dear Diary

Dear Diary, Today has altered my life forever. I've always fantasized about meeting my one and only, shuffled different scenarios from my favourite love stories dreaming of this unforgettable moment. I have imagined this second countless times. And then I saw Them. The most beautiful being, They entered my world ethereally like the morning sunlight making its way through the window. For a few moments my heart stopped beating. In front of me I saw an angel, a divine creature that filled everything and everyone with its light. An eternity flashed before my eyes when I finally was able to comprehend the insignificance of everything that had happened to my life up to this very second. Who would have thought that one fleeting moment could change my entire existence? With love and faith in dreams come true, Sim

Sim stood at the edge of an exquisitly decorated garden and the light breeze was murmuring among the leaves of the trees surrounding it. The afternoon was serene and soothing, yet their heart was racing. Today marked their third wedding. Staring off into the distance with an unwavering gaze full of hope, they were carried away by thoughts of two other days from their past, days so similar to this one. Exchanging vows, promising of eternal love, pledging a fairytale for life... None of these lasted long but maybe this time will be different.

Gen 5.3 Five Things I Hate About You

Sim hated them. A seething, burning feeling has filled the entire body as soon as Sim caught a glimpse of them. Time froze in a heartbeat, and it seems like it's become difficult to breathe when anger flood the whole space around. The heart was beating at a rabid pace and Sim was ready to, quite literally, pounce on them in a rage. Argh, that unbearable feeling of their heavy gaze looking straight into the soul.

Gen 6. Is anybody here?..

There was somebody outside the window, standing in the shade of the trees. The dark figure could barely be seen in the foggy grace of moonlight. The presence of this.. Thing.. filled Sim's insides with cold animal dread. The invisible stare - they sensed it with every inch of their body - was fixed directly on them, frozen in the middle of a grim living room. Hide, run away, crawl in the furthest and darkest corner of this house, vanish. Somewhere in the silence of their house, creaked the old wooden floor.

It seems like your parents cared more about their own drama in life than about you. And it certainly left a mark.. You are not crazy, you are just a little weird. I would even saу.. obsessed. With this idea of having big loving household. And maybe you're trying a little bit too hard.

Gen 7.1 Yo-Ho-Ho and a Bottle of.. Juice? Nectar?

The sky crackled with furious growl and thousands lights covered the boundless canvas of the sea. Black restless waves crashed against the hull of the majestic but shabby ship. On board, where orderly chaos reigned, an experienced crew battled marine force with knowledge of the matter. The Сaptain stood at the helm, gripping the wheel as the wind howled around them. and shouted commands breaking through the nature's cacophony. The next moment the swell crushed upon them, ready to swallow them whole. The Captain's head went under the wave and their throat filled with saltwater as the sea dragged them to its depths. Another flash of lightning cut through the skies and... ...Sim woke up. The head was heavy while thoughts were trying to return from the dream to reality.

Gen 10.1 The Stories Untold

Dark room was flooded with the dim quivering light of a dying candle. On the table lied a pile of scribbled papers. crumpled and stained with ink and candle wax. A person, rolling the quill in their fingers, leaned back in the chair and wearily closed their eyes. The right words still didn't come to mind. One by one failed pages were sent to the trash can, each time taking with them a piece of smoldering hopes. An insistent whisper of doubts poisoned the person's head and spirit. What if they will never win this silent struggle for recognition?

Gen 10.2 Ginger and Snowflakes

The sunlit kitchen was filled with the smell of gingerbread cookies. The children chattered away at the table, surrounded by a fortress of sugar, colorful towels and lots of kitchen appliances. The sleeves of their warm knitted sweaters kept trying to get into the dough. Their little upturned noses were sprinkled with flour. similar to snowflakes that were swirling outside the window. From here, on the backyard, you could see a freshly sculpted snowman near the swings. It was a calm frosty morning. Sim loved those days - days filled with simple joys. laughter and many-many of these tiny memorable magical moments.

You've successfully completed the challenge so now what?

Gwaine: Fair enough. But I would argue that I'm like a beautiful angel of love who has trouble finding love for himself.

Lancelot: ...

Gwaine: Admit that you would see that movie

i utilise this to get out of changing the youtube playlist on the computer and getting food to feed our boredom

          >  i’d like to mention that i absolutely do not, in any way, feel any sort of malice over it. the girl had no idea what was happening and was in the middle of her own panic during the sequence of events that happened and i still love her even if she almost left me to die accidentally<

SO the tale began during the lunch hour of high school in like year 9

          > i think??? idk, im surprised i was even awake to go to school in the first place so ya know, this event happened in there

now the thing you should know about me is that i have very similar cat characteristics. im awkward, require constant attention but only when i want it, people think that im evil, and the sun makes me narcoleptic. the latter is more important here

so, whenever the sun hits me at any point, i will immediately have an intense urge to curl up and sleep. the sun is my kryptonite. because of this, during lunch times, i could easily be found curled up against a wall in a sunny spot, squinting my eyes open only to glare at clouds blocking my warmth and interruptions to my nap

this particular day had been fairly warm, so i’d contentedly curled up against a brick wall and dozed for an hour or so, having people intermittently check my breathing

          > fun fact, i sleep like a dead person, which means *drumroll* i barely make a sound, i barely breath and once im comfy, i do not move

in any case, my nap had been perfect until the rude ass bell awakened me, and i was forced to squint-glare up at some friends who just wanted me to actually be able to enjoy another lunch time in the sun

          > which were actually surprisingly rare thinking about it,i got a lot of detentions because im lazy and forgetful

with only a minimal amount of crying, i got up, and stumbled me way to my locker, whimpering over the impending doom of a double pe period where i wouldn’t be able to bask in the warmth. so a friend, laura, and i decided to skip the period because i was out of it, and tired, and for that moment in time detention did not exist and neither did our demon of a teacher who probably hated me for how i treated cross country

          > a light stroll through the australian bush

so we sat in the locker area, me napping on concrete and her doing...i have no idea, i was asleep

now the thing we didn’t know is that my consecutive days of insomnia had finally caught up to me in a bad way and mixed with dehydration because i am incapable of ingesting water, and i probably should have been woken up. yet neither of us knew this, and she continued to waste time while i flittered in and out of dream land with a bunch of queasy feeling dreams

eventually, she got up and went to the bathroom while i sat and probably slowly died, however, i was saved by the hero we all need, gardener man

         > gardener man is, and will always be, my hero, i dont know where u are or how your doing, but i hope your gardening with the best of them bro

anyway mr gardener is doing his check of the area when he sees two legs poking out from behind a bunch of lockers. probably hoping that’s connected to a person, preferably alive, he finds me, mostly unconscious, lying on concrete

him: uhhhhh me: zzzzzzzzzz him: are...you...okayyyyy???? me: *wakes up* whaaaaaat??? him: do you...need help me: uhm

i then promptly burst into tears because i actually LOST MY FUCKING MEMORY. legit, not kidding, i was sitting on that concrete floor in my summer school dress, bawling because my brain suddenly decided we were an amnesiac. this is fucking hilarious later on because i can only describe mr gardeners face as being an extremely concerned ??????????!!!!!! while i sat there and cried

he then gave me a ride in the gardener buggy while i sat, dazed and teary, as he drove me up to the nurses office while talking to the other gardeners like ‘i just found her there??? im driving her up???what is happening right now this is the weirdest moment of my entire career???’

         > now, flashback to my dear friend laura who’s walked out and i am just GONE, fucking gone, and she’s just like???? and sat down because she was so fucking confused because her half dead friend had just disappeared into nothingness and she didn’t know who to contact because we were technically skipping class and like where did i go???

so i went into the nurses office and everyones looking at me and then the gardener like ‘what the fuck are you doing together, here, what’s happening???’ and the guy explained he’d found me and everyone just EXPLODED into action, and to my dazed brain this was fucking terrifying cause they were moving at the speed of light and i was suddenly terrified that id mixed myself up into some saint xavier shit here

so they bundle me into the side room for the sick kids and sit me down, and im like buzzing here and the pass me some water and it just goes out of the glass and over my lap. anyway, they start asking me question, name, class, what the fuck is going on??

and im sitting there, like a good little amnesiac, and burst back into tears sending 8 of the office woman into a panic cause shit dude, i had the entire office in there with me all trying to figure out who i am and who to call. the only reason our principal wasnt was cause he was delivering a birthday card to some kids cause he was a rad dude like that

so i finally glean a name from my memory and they’re holy shit yes we have something and they call my mum and mum comes to take me to hospital and the nurses are like talking about drug use or spiking and im like ??? hi mum and she’s like ‘the fuck is wrong with you child stop fucking doing this to me just be well for more then a day’

and then i was taken to hospital where the nice doctor hooked me up to an iv and said he didn’t?? really?? have?? any?? idea??? so like, watch me

and then i came back to school like a few weeks later and people had legit thought i’d died and that was actually more common then youd think and laura wwas in near tears because the teachers had ripped into her about leaving me and she couldnt really say anything cause we’d been skipping, but they’d thought my near death was enough punishment for both her and me and so we escaped
