Written by Malixa and the Boba Buddies!
We decided to create our own legacy one day as a community effort and so the Boba Tea Tales Legacy was born. This legacy is meant to give you new ideas for storylines and introduce you to new gameplay that you never really thought about doing yourself.
Remember that this challenge isn’t meant to restrict you entirely. You are allowed to make some changes to the rules to fit your gameplay. It’s all about having fun!
BASE GAME VERSION
Each generation will represent 1-3 colors. You must dress up your sim and decorate their houses in their color theme. OPTIONAL: match their hair color and eye color to the theme colors.
Complete each given skill, career, and aspiration unless the goals state otherwise.
Starting budget: 1k-20k simoleons (you decide your amount!)
Play on whatever lifespan YOU feel comfortable playing on.
No money cheats unless stated otherwise!
If you roll a topping that gives you twins or triplets, you ARE allowed to cheat for them so your sim is guaranteed to have twins or triplets.
If you decide to play this challenge, please tag me on any of my social medias (https://beacons.ai/malixa) or tag #btt or #bobateatales! I’d love to see what your sims are up to. :)
You must roll a topping each generation for your 3rd trait and minimum kid requirements.
To see the toppings list and toppings wheel spin, please check out the google doc here!

Sul sul!
After searching for character sheets to use in my sims legacy, most of the templates I found either cost money, weren't quite what I was looking for, or were no longer available; so I decided to whip up my own in Canva!
I've implemented places for Home & Aspiration, Traits, Career, and two additional options: Loves and Highlights. There are image placeholders for each section so that all you have to do is drag in your images.
These templates are 100% free & editable to your needs! Feel free to remove the watermark within the template and credit is optional—I only ask that you don't claim these as your own.
More info & resources under the cut!
I took some inspiration from CosmiCamos's character sheet, but sadly the link is no longer available.
Deathbypufferfish's Build-a-Sim Icon Pack for icons (traits, aspirations, etc)
Luniversims's Icon Packs for individual expansion/game/stuff packs
Sims Wiki page for world icons (click on a world within the list and a circular icon for the world is at the beginning of the article)
This Sims font to use within in the template like I did
And that's it! Enjoy, and happy simming! 😊
(P.S if you use these, I'd love to see your sims! Tag me @stormistargazer)
Learning how to make cc is so complicated >.< if anyone who knows how to use blender and gimp can you give me some links? thanks! ♡

Hi everyone! I have some minor updates for the latest patch available now:
Improved Bikes v1.3
Improved Infants v1.5
Life's Moments v1.4
ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ
download on patreon (early access) (public release - 01/25/25)
this mod replaces the animations for phone calls, adding four new poses, with different ones for each gender.
age groups: teenagers to elders.
sitting on dining or desk chairs
sitting on sofas or living chairs
animations on all other surfaces will remain as they are.
all transitions are smooth! you might notice slight clipping at the start or end of the animations, but it shouldn't affect gameplay.
also you should know:
if your sim is pregnant, the animation might not look good with the belly. unfortunately, i don’t know how to fix it in this mod, but i hope it won’t bother you too much.
i did not modify the animation for "video calls".
if you have the "cupid's heart" expansion pack, the "flirt" action on the phone will also use the new poses.
p.s. i made this override as an addition to my previous mod, "extended phone calls", after my sims started calling everyone 24/7, i thought they should do it in a cuter way! :)
please let me know if you encounter any issues. your feedback is incredibly valuable for improving and fine-tuning mods ❤️
Mod management after an update is no joke
The ACTIVE Fashion Designer Mod is officially out on Patreon (FREE). In this mod, you'll be able to follow your Sim to work or/and have a Home Styling Business, Host a Fashion Show with your own Models with Custom Animations PLUS MORE
I wanted to add Zodicas since I track my family trees hence why they're there lol
Meet Bryson and JoAnna, my two founding sims for the sims in bloom challenge! Married and living in the cottage Henford-on-Bagely, they both share a love for the outdoors, gardening, and animals! I did speed things up a tinyyyy bit by giving him a wife, i felt it would've made things slower.
Gardening has always been your passion. Owning a large, healthy garden is all you’ve ever wanted in life, even if your nails constantly have soil under them and you have so many broken pots you’ve lost count. Your happy place is meditating in the shade of the fruit trees that you grew yourself from tiny saplings. You sit and wonder what your family will grow to do, and hope that they will flourish just as beautifully as your garden has. This is the start of your family legacy!
Traits: Clumsy, Cheerful, Loves the outdoors Aspiration: Freelance Botanist Career: Gardening Skills: Gardening, fishing, wellness

For each generation complete the designated aspiration, career, and skills.
Asterisk * marked points are optional, you can choose to complete these to make the challenge more difficult.
There are two colours associated with every generation. Use these for genetics (berry/banilla), or just clothes and house decor if you wish.
Start each new generation with a small house/apartment and 1000 simoloeons. If you want to make the challenge harder, you can start each generation on an empty lot with 0 simoleons (rags to riches style!)
Play on any lifespan you wish (short is not recommended).
If you decide to play this challenge @ me or use the tag #sib or #SimsInBloom if you want me to see!

Meet Raven. As perfect as a rose but as sharp as a thorn that can cut like a knife. Obsession can lead you to do strange things when it comes to love. Unfortunately, not everyone can handle a killer love story. Her death was a murder, or was it? No one knows the truth however death won't stop her from finding the man her heart belongs to. the living can only stay alive for so long after all...
Showing off a sim that's not for a legacy feels weird haha but here she is!! I'm still learning how to edit photos and take better shots with gshade >.< also Tumblr might've ruined the quality on mobile so tap to see it better! ♡
Summer Is Coming - Part 2: The Early Bird Gets The Japchae
Calvin set the alarm 20 minutes early, as he had things to do, and things on his mind. One of them was holding a quick Programming Club meeting to determine his successor as club Captain. He didn't hold the position long, but there were competent juniors to take over.
Then there was the fun task of cleaning out that locker that also once belonged to his cousin Cali. She was way more orderly in that regard, while Calvin's was the typical mess, like his bros. It should have been a gradual cleaning over the last week or so, looking at the mementos of the high school life he was leaving behind. But now it was going to look like a free-for-all flurry of discarded memories into that trash can, while his buddies would try to block every shot attempt, maybe trying to delay their inevitable exits for a little while longer.
Just how did the school manage to maintain palm trees in this Copperdale climate? Hmm...maybe an 8th mystery has emerged! Nope. Time to move on with this.
One more round of exams with this reshuffled class of his, with his other senior friends across that entry hall. Then it was blowoff classes, Senior Awards Day assembly, graduation ceremonies, and those kickass memorable grad parties all over the county. He heard Johnny was planning something big, but he kept his lips shut, behind that trademark grin.
This was all coming too fast, but as his one Phys Ed teacher always lectured them: "Time waits for no man."
Since he had a little extra time in the morning, Calvin had a craving for Japchae. He remembered stopping by a small diner up in Mt. Komorebi, after tackling that first mystery: The Facts of Death.
This was just one of the little cozy comforts he needed, to reward himself for making it this far. Final exams were on the home stretch. He felt confident he had the answers for those.
Once those were out of the way, he needed answers from Cali.
