The Fatal Flaws Legacy Challenge

The premise of this challenge is that each generation is confronted with a “fatal flaw” that they either decide to overcome or revel in. The reason I wrote this challenge was because I realized that the sims I enjoyed playing most were ones with “negative” traits. I had a lot of fun writing this, so I hope at least one other person has fun playing it :) 

The only generations that really require an expansion pack are gen 4: squeamish, because that particular trait comes from outdoor retreat and gen 7: lazy, because it requires you to adopt animals.

Notes:

This challenge is greatly improved by any mods that make actually traits matter, e.g. personality please, roburky’s meaningful stories.

This challenge is more story-based than game-play based, though there’s elements of both

You don’t need to complete the aspirations! They’re only meant as a guide + are also there for the sake of the aspiration trait.

You don’t need to complete the careers either, unless its a gen that specifically requires it.   

Feel free to go to university any generation if you feel like it suits your sim’s story/you want to.

Generation One: Mean

you didn’t grow up in the happiest or most functional of households. and so you moved out as soon as you could. now it’s just you, your dog, and your shitty job. you’re kind of an asshole, but you can’t help it – it’s a deep-seated defense mechanism from your past. other people can’t hurt you if you hurt them first, right? but as you grow older, you start to realise that, more than anything, you want the loving family you never had. if only you could find someone who could make it past your terrible social skills in order to see the big heart you have hidden underneath.

traits: mean, dog lover (base game: loyal) + family orientated (YA)

aspiration: big happy family

career: retail + can pick another part time career as an adult on top of that (optional)

rules

start the generation as a teen on an empty lot.

drop out of high school using a mod, or just simply don’t go.

make money from the retail career + dumpster diving, fishing, collectibles, anything, just never get a proper full time job. you never finished high school, after all.

when you age up into young adult, meet and woo a sim of your choice (optional: they have the good trait.)

be mean and rude to everyone come across until you fall in love with your future spouse. 

have at least three kids and become at least ‘friends’ level relationship with all of them.

Cats and Dogs: have a dog with the friendly trait, become companions with them.

Parenthood: if you want an extra challenge, age up from teenager to have the insensitive trait from negative empathy.

A Honey, I Shrunk the Kids themed #outgoing for @yeeseulwrites This took so long because I was stuck trying to find ways to decorate it. I watched all three films for research on how to plan this letter. I’m happy I had old Disney World maps that had the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids Movie Set Adventure and Honey, I Shrunk the Audience that added to the letter. Hopefully no die-hard Disney Park fans hate me for that. #stalinskilabs #outgoingmail #outgoinghappymail #outgoingsnailmail #outgoingletter #outgoingmail📮 #outgoingmailart #outgoingpost #outgoingpenpal #outgoingpocketletter #outgoingtoday #outgoingpenpalmail https://www.instagram.com/p/CosHXg5LhXr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Out here doing great work and finding appreciation in the whole of the franchise through the eyes of children.

Literally my favorite part of my job is getting to talk about books and pop culture with kids,and thus I get a lot of Star Wars obsessed little gremlins that come in that I get to talk shop with. Yesterday I had this little boy come up to the register,decked out in Star Wars gear,Grogu baseball cap,Mandalorian shirt,Grogu tennis shoes,and a big ol’ stack of Star Wars DK reference books. He was absolutely feral and I got to do my favorite thing in the world which is excitedly go “you don’t like Star Wars do you?” And this lil dude,with his two missing front teeth and unparalleled feral energy,talked my ear off about the Mandalorian until his mom almost physically had to drag him out the door.

Today I had another little boy come in with this massive stack of Star Wars books,I did my same spiel I always do,he unhingedly chattered on about how much he loves the Clone Wars and Ahsoka most of all.

I don’t know I just wish a lot of fans who get snide about different Star Wars media,liking one thing and absolutely dragging other stuff,could see it how I do through kids’ eyes,and how much they love and connect with different parts and different characters. It’s always so apparent to me with my job,like this isn’t for crybaby adult fans,this is for these little kids with fire in their eyes.

Fruit Study week 2! This week’s fruit is joy. Josh and I appointed oranges as the joyful fruit and enjoyed them two ways while reading and reflecting. Oranges grow in sunshine, and here in Michigan sunny days are usually immediate joy producers. https://www.instagram.com/p/CnndWKQvE-i/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

oh btw just in case nobody ever told you. just because your life looks different than you thought it would doesn't mean that your life is bad or wrong or disappointing or less than. sometimes things aren't good or bad. sometimes they're just different

“hey it could be worse” well i would like it not to be. how about that

I think this happens way too often. God hides Himself from us when He is present with us. It is only when our eyes are opened that we see His presence. Sometimes our eyes aren’t opened until after the event takes place. But we also have to ask if our eyes were closed because of our lack of faith. #MakeSOAPAwesome https://www.instagram.com/p/CmuUVNcP5yv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My thoughts were always that I WASN’T important enough to help someone. But the apostle Paul tells us differently. We’re only unimportant when we think we’re too great to help others. In short, as long as you have godly influence, you’re important. And that is why you SHOULD help others. #MakeSOAPAwesome https://www.instagram.com/p/CmXEUkzP7m8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

There were two peoples that reacted to Jesus’ healing powers. There were those that wanted nothing to do with Jesus and there were those who were waiting for His arrival. #MakeSOAPAwesome https://www.instagram.com/p/CmFQSpaPnSL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Finally had the date at @ravencafe_ph that Josh has been talking about since we started dating. No cheesecake though, so we’ll have to come back. And our table was lovingly supported by a dinosaur book (Thank you, dinosaur book). We enjoyed reminiscing over the Edgar Allan Poe unit we had all the way back in eighth grade and what our favorite of his stories were (mine is The Pit and the Pendulum, by the way). https://www.instagram.com/p/ClsGBl1LbIy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
