The Randomizer Mod to add some more unexpected drama to your saves

Your natural talent for baking bread and decorating sweet treats made you think that owning a bakery would be a piece of cake *pun fully intended*. So, with stars in your eyes and every last penny to your name, you poured it all into opening your dream bakery. What you didn’t expect was to fall in love and get pregnant with your partner so quickly. For a while, life felt perfect. Business was picking up, your little family was thriving, and love was sweet. But out of nowhere, someone else walked into your life. And just like that, your heart shifted. You never thought you'd be the heartbreaker, but… the heart wants what the heart wants.

You left your partner for this new love, and soon after, found yourself expecting a child… again. The bakery was booming, your kids were getting along, and your heart felt full. You were madly in love, and for once, everything felt just right. Until they walked in. The moment you saw them, it hit you. Love at first sight, all over again. You couldn’t ignore it. So you broke things off once more, chasing what felt like your true soulmate. You just can’t help that you’re a hopeless romantic.

You and your half-siblings never understood how one of your parents could fall in love so easily. That was… until you grew up. As a young adult, you started working at the local hospital, finally living your childhood dream. You’d always loved playing doctor when looking after your many siblings as a kid, and your dedication paid off when you were accepted into the junior doctors program. That’s where you met them. The one. Or at least, you thought they were.

From flirty exchanges in the break room to steamy makeout sessions in supply closets, your chemistry was undeniable. You weren’t officially together, but in your mind, you were already picking out wedding venues. Everything felt perfect—until the night you hosted a work dinner. That’s when it happened. The moment your world cracked. Your "work husband/wife" showed up… with their actual spouse.

Growing up, it was hard trying to live up to your parents expectations. Especially when they’re both successful doctors. What's even worse is that you got pregnant very young and had to put your life plans on hold to raise the baby. Telling your parents was the scariest part. They were livid. Too scared to stay, you and your partner ran away, leaving everything behind, and had to start from scratch. You gave birth to your baby and showed it so much love, while trying to make ends meet. Once your baby was old enough, you joined the athlete career for some stable income, but eventually realised you want to be more involved in your children's lives, so you decided to open your own gym and yoga studio. Soon enough, you built a life for yourself and a beautiful family. And you did it all by yourself, without the help of your parents.

You grew up in a loving and comfortable home. Your parents worked hard to give you everything you wanted but comfort was never enough. You dreamed of a life of true luxury, where you were financially abundant and free. You knew it wouldn’t be easy, but you had to try. As a young adult, you moved out, determined to make your own way. Using the skills you learned at home, you landed a part-time job at your local spa. But barely scraping by wasn’t the life you envisioned. You needed a way in, to insert yourself into the world of the wealthy. And what better way to do so than to marry into it?

Everyone, except one of their siblings. They seem to have taken a liking to you…

Growing up, you always seemed to gravitate towards music. Your parents were super wealthy so of course they bought you the newest and coolest instruments. As a teen, you even started a band with some friends and often held jam sessions at your house. Once you left home, you decided to pursue music production, making the latest tracks for some of the biggest artists. Romance wasn’t really on your mind. Yeah, you would date around and have casual hookups, but it wasn’t until one day, you had an instant attraction to a sim and just HAD to get to know them. Your relationship was steamy, but shallow, as deep conversations were something neither of you had an interest in. 

You/your partner ended up falling pregnant so you decided to get married because of it. Once in married life, the relationship got toxic. All you could do was fight and have arguments. You even fought on your child's birthday. It was time for a divorce. Your now ex-partner took everything from you, disgracing your public image and forcing you and your child to move into a dingy trailer. How did your life fall apart before your eyes?

Everything just seems to fall into place perfectly for you. From your amazing relationship with Gen 6, to being with your high school sweetheart, the one you’re sure you’ll marry someday. You know what, why wait? Right after graduation, you land a job as a Journalist (Gen 6 always asked for your feedback on their work, so why not get paid for your opinions?) and start planning your dream wedding. You go all out, celebrating with both your family and your fiancé’s. Everything is going perfectly! Until the night before the wedding. At your bach party, things get out of hand. You get totally wasted and end up having a secret hookup with your fiancé’s best friend. The next day, unable to face what you've done, you leave your fiancé at the altar and disappear to an off the grid lot.

You were the perfect child. Respectful to your parents, hardworking in school, active in afterschool activities, and kind to everyone you met. Everything about your life seemed on track… until you met the local teenage delinquent, the one everyone warned you about. Something about them fascinated you. Their recklessness, their confidence, the thrill they carried, it was intoxicating. Against your better judgment, you started dating, and before long, you were hooked. You knew the things they did weren’t right, but you didn’t care. Being with them made you feel alive. That was the beginning of your descent into a life of mischief and crime. You dove headfirst into their world, and together you swore, it was you and them against the world.

Straight after graduating high-school, everything changed. You found out the two of you were expecting a baby. You moved in together, and it wasn’t long before you realized your partner was deeper into the criminal underworld than you’d ever imagined. But you stayed. You were loyal. Years passed in a blur. One child became two, then three. Your home was full, and your nights were spent working in the shadows. It was a given that this life was dangerous, but you never thought it would end so soon… leaving behind children who now must navigate the world alone.

They’re gone. Your parents are gone and they’ve left you to raise your five younger siblings on your own. You knew you had no choice or you’d all end up in the foster care system. So you quit school and devote your life to raising your siblings to the best of your ability, putting your entire life on hold. Luckily, your best friend was there to help you every step of the way! Part time and odd jobs were definitely not enough to put food on the table, but you had to wait until you were a young adult to be able to apply for something consistent. But it seems you weren’t cut out for corporate life. So you took gigs as a freelance sculptor.  You refused to let your siblings struggle like you did, so you do everything you can to put them through school and set them up for success. Once they’ve all moved out, that's when you can start living life!

Growing up, you watched your parent sacrifice everything for their siblings, leaving little time or energy to focus on you. It didn’t help that you were the weird kid. The background blur. The one who never got invited. You spent your childhood in oversized hoodies, headphones in, hiding from the world and you’d often get teased because of it. But when you aged up into a young adult, you made a decision! You weren’t going to stay invisible. You hit the gym, got a new wardrobe, started posting selfies, and suddenly, the world noticed. The “you” they ignored is now the one they all want. The transformation is shocking. You become everything they said you couldn't be.
