I New It

Reclaimed Roots, A Legacy Challenge.

One fateful day, as you flip the pages in the local newspaper, your eyes fall upon an advertisement for an affordable farm on the outskirts of town. This farm had fallen into disrepair, abandoned and forgotten by its previous owners, who had inherited the farm but chose to not take care of it. Despite its rundown state, a flicker of hope ignited within your heart. Your dream of owning a small farm to raise your future family may become a reality! 

You call the owner’s of the property and they start asking for more money. This went from being an affordable farm to a pricey one! You decide to take a leap of faith and go for it. Packing your belongings immediately and setting out for the neglected farms of your dream. When you arrive, you see just how neglected the farm truly is. You find a weathered farmhouse, its paint peeling and windows cracked, surrounded by overgrown fields and rotten fences. But you see beauty hidden underneath it all. 

You see a vision of what this farm could be. A fresh coat of paint, rescued animals, beautiful old oak trees flourishing, children riding their bikes and fishing in the pound. This is where you want your new life you begin.

Required Packs: For Gameplay: Cottage Living, Cats and Dogs, and a pack that allows yard sales. House is made with a bunch of packs but is mostly just all clutter! Main items are from the gameplay packs.

Rules: Aspiration must be country caretaker Start with $500 Place @simsyworld’s lot from the gallery called "Abandoned Farm" hashtag #reclaimedroots or #reclaimedrootslegacy Each generation must live on the family farm. This may call for an extension of the house, a second floor, or a basement. If your sim has more than one kid, they can move out. But the sim you decide to cary on the legacy must live on the farm.

Tallulah called him Sleeping Beauty

Ok so I know I’m probably crazy but…I SWEAR TO THE FIRST SPINJISTU MASTER IN SEASON 11 THE POLICE CHEFF SAID SHIT, I KNOW ITS PROBABLY NOT WHAT HE SAID BUT I WATCHED THE SCEEN OVER LIKE 15 TIMES AND IT SERIOUSLY SOUND LIKE HE SAID SHIT…

Ok so anyways,

Do y’all remember Hometown Glory AU. Well I’m renaming it to Find Your Way Home and everyone is getting a makeover redesign yaaaay

Basically- What if the pilots and Season 1-3 never happened, and they all met later at the Tournament of Elements instead?

The autism won. Here’s a (rough) pattern for the plushies! Go ham!

Here’s a link to another post I made about fabric types and colors to use!

Keep in mind these have no measurements. You will have to figure that bit out.

(Sorry bout that! I didn’t have materials with me to do measurements. But on the bright side that means you can scale it however you want. If you want a point of reference, the official plushies are, in TOTAL, 6 inches tall.)

Closeups:

Have fun! If you ever decide to use this please feel free to ping and show me :)

I know this is going to make me sound pretensions but I have to get it off my chest. I feel an unimaginable rage when someone posts a photo and is like "this picture looks like a renaissance painting lol" when the photo clearly has the lighting, colors and composition of a baroque or romantic painting. There are differences in these styles and those differences are important and labeling every "classical" looking painting as renaissance is annoying and upsetting to me. And anytime I come across one of those posts I have to put down my phone and go take a walk because they make me so mad

(Has this been done before? It’s probably been done before. But now I’m doing it.)

so I LOVE storytelling in the sims, and I love legacy challenges because following a single family is SO fun for me and watching townie families evolve as my family goes on is just as exciting. The one thing I’m not a huge fan of is how a lot of legacy challenges set out specific traits and storylines for players to follow, when my favorite part of the sims is figuring out sims’ personalities for themselves. SO.

I wrote my own challenge with a little less structure, just to allow players some more storytelling freedom (but still have some goals to chase). This is a NINE (9) generation challenge, based off of nine gems, all of which are collectable in base game.

Under the cut you can find rules and goals for all nine generations for the #family jewels legacy challenge!

Edited 3/16/22: Added more potential traits to certain generations! Edited 9/13/22: Added more potential traits and goals mostly related to the Werewolves GP and High School Years EP. Edited 9/14/22: Added new extra goals to Sapphire and Turquoise generations. Edited 11/4/23: Added more potential traits and goals related to the Growing Together EP and the Horse Ranch EP.
