Swiftacy Gen 1: Debut

Meet The McGraws

Finally doing the Swiftacy legacy by @gillysims! I’ll be posting updates under the #ts4swiftacy tag and all general sims gameplay stuff under #cass sims

Marilyn "Mary" McGraw grew up in the heart of Henford-on-Bagley, fishing with her dad Maxwell and gardening with her late mom Maybelle. When her mom suddenly passed, her dad remarried her step-mom Sarah and they had her younger brother Drew. Poor but kind, she and her expanded family formed new bonds together. Through all this turmoil and change, her childhood best friend was there. They'd spend their days roughhousing and exploring and, upon nightfall, share secrets under the stars. Suffice to say, Maybelle was shocked when Danielle came out as a trans woman. But she was even more shocked when she found herself falling head over heels for her longtime friend...

Gen 1: Mary’s Song.

Meet Mary, a gentle soul who loves her family and animals.

She has moved into the town of Henford-on-Bagley along with her brother Tim.

Mary is a romantic who dreams of true love, she thought she was in love, no! She was sure she was in love! With Charlie, her childhood family friend from back home. She was 15, determined that they were gonna marry. They even shared their first kiss. But Charlie’s family moved away after his job got a job in the city, leaving Mary heartbroken. Charlie said one day, if it was meant to be, they would find their way to each other.

But they were kids. And over the years, Mary would find other boys, however, she was always the one left hurt at the end.

You never know, maybe love can find it’s way back to her in an unexpected way.

Hi! I’m obsessed with your Swiftacy legacy challenge! Was just wondering, for Gen 1 are we supposed to start as a child or a young adult?

Hi! Thanks! 🩷

I intended the challenge to be played starting with a YA sim, with the backstory of the childhood best friends growing up together. However, if you wanted to play out starting with a child sim, you totally could! Up to you and what you think sounds most fun!

Tag me if you post about doing the challenge!!

► NOT SO BERRY x BERRY PASTEL RAINBOWCY - AN UPDATED VERSION

as some of you might know, I've written updated versions of the not so berry challenge and the berry pastel rainbowcy before. however, I keep wanting to switch between the two challenges or abandoning my one save for the other. so, on a random Monday evening I figured, why not combine the two for the ultimate updated challenge experience? my lovely fellow simmers over at @berrygameplay convinced me to write stuff down and... the NSB x BPR updated rules was born!

credit goes to @lilsimsie and @alwaysimming for the original nsb rules and @berrysweetboutique for the original berry pastel rainbowcy rules!

►WHAT ABOUT THE RULES

as with my two other updated challenges, i've written the rules in a google doc (that you cannot edit! stop asking for permission to edit the file!). if you want to save the rules for yourself, go to file > create a copy and you're able to save the rules wherever you want and edit them. this will not change the original document.

there are disclaimers, a list of packs you need for this challenge (most packs are optional) and an index to move through generations quickly. each gen has their own introductory story (you don't have to adhere to these stories!), required traits - aspirations - careers, the generational rule (bpr), reward traits to buy, and the list of objectives catered to that generation. feel free to edit these objectives to your hearts desire! this challenge is supposed to be fun :)

► NSBxBPR

if you want to play this challenge, please tag your posts with #nsbxbpr so I can follow and share them!

so. let's get to it:

The Swiftacy Challenge by @gillysims

So, I’m a MASSIVE Taylor Swift fan (massive is an understatement tbh)

The minute I saw this challenge, I HAD to jump and fall right in…see what I did there ;)

Meet Mary Grace.

Inspired by ‘Mary’s Song,’

Tbh, the song is not one I would usually listen to but this was so cute and fun to create.

She is available to download right here: (x).
