Sweet & Sour Legacy Challenge - Sims 3

Created by Simphora & Gabrielle-kl

Hey guys! Surprise, surprise. Me and Gabby did a little something.. we created a Sims 3 challenge! Woot-woot! This is our very first time creating a challenge together. We had such a blast. I’d like say this challenge is fun and unique. We put our FOOT into making this because us Sims 3 simmers are in desperate need of more challenges. Also, feel free to check out Gabby’s amazing challenge called, Not Your Average Legacy Challenge.

The Sweet & Sour Legacy Challenge is a six generation legacy challenge inspired by fruits. These fruits have a sweet and sour aesthetic for each generation. For example, the sweet fruit generations are compassionate and up-beat. Meanwhile, there’s a little twist with the sour fruit generations because it’s more pessimistic and chaotic. All-in-all, if you’re a simmer that is looking for a fruit themed and drama fulfilled legacy challenge, this is a challenge for you!

If you’re interested in doing this challenge, please feel free to tag us: @simphoraa @gabrielle-kl or #sweet&sourlegacy. We would love to see your progress and gameplay!

R U L E S:

You must follow each generation in chronological order.

It is recommend that you use all of the provided traits.

If you do not have a certain Sims 3 expansion pack that is related to the traits, careers, or goals, you can make adjustments.

The aesthetic color/colours for each generation is optional.

Before moving on to the next generation, you must complete all of the required goals.

DO NOT use any money cheat codes (ex: motherload, kaching, or rosebud).

Generation #1 - Watermelon: One in a Melon

You like to see yourself as the main character, and you think that everyone that comes in contact with you thinks so too.

Everyone absolutely loves you! Or do they? As unique as you are, you want to be a famous actor or actress. Soon enough Hollywood would be signing your name on everything! You find yourself chilling with A-list celebrities and even date a few. You have everything you could ever want! No one can ruin this for you, except maybe yourself.

Get started: Live in a small starter house or apartment. Purchase your basic necessities to survive, and progressively buy more necessities once you start earning some simoleons. Good luck!

Starting simoleons - §1,200

Traits - Charismatic, Dramatic, Snob, Star Quality, and Workaholic

Career - Film

Lifetime Wish - Superstar Actor

Aesthetic Color/Colour

Goals:

Become a five-star celebrity

Ruin your reputation 2 times, make your life a little scandalous! (ex: get publicly disgraced)

Master the Charismatic skill

Reach level 10 in the Film Career (choose the actor branch)

Have 2 close friends

Host a meet & greet once a week (ex: sign autographs and take pictures with fans)

Fall in love with one of your fans

Have as many kids as you want

Generation #2 - Lemon: When life gives you lemons.. you have to deal with some sour sh*t!

Sigh! Your childhood was already enough as it was with being a nepotistic child, but now there’s even more shenanigans.

Apart from hiding in your parents’ shadows and not being the main focus when it comes to the paparazzi. You carry a nice and sweet persona on the outside. Those who were fortunate enough to have a conversation with you say your personality is like, “stuffing their mouths with a bunch of sour candy”, but you didn’t hear that from me. Just know, it’s okay to loosen up a bit. You do not always need to leave a bitter taste in one’s mouth.

In the course of time, you finally meet someone and insert yourself into their life. Love makes you do some silly things. You want to help them with their unlawful issues because you think that you can help them figure things out and get their life back on track. Realistically speaking, you would never think of laying your eyes on someone with a completely different personality than yours and a terrible outlook on life. Oh boy! You’re in for a nice treat.

Traits - Bookworm, Grumpy, Hopeless Romantic, No sense of humor, and Perceptive

Career - Journalism or Private Investigator

Lifetime Wish - Star News Anchor or Pervasive Private Eye

Aesthetic Color/Colour

Goals:

Get romantically involved with a criminal

Be disliked by a few sims. Having “friends” isn’t your thing because people disappoint you

Master the Writing or Logic skill

Reach level 5 in the Journalism or Private Investigator Career, and then quit or get fired

Have 1 failed marriage

Have only 1 child

Have a bad relationship with your child

Find a hobby or skill, and make a source of income out of it

Have a rebound relationship with someone

C H O I C E:

This generation has a choice for you to make. These are choices that you could build off of and integrate into your storyline.

Hmm, it looks like you have found love again. Are you genuinely happy this time? You may be a little traumatized from the last relationship. Just remember, everyone isn’t the same. This rebound relationship could be turning into something really serious. There may even be wedding bells in your future. Do you want to give marriage a second chance or stay in the “dating” stage?

Generation #3 - Strawberry: You’re the sweetest pick of the patch!

Everyone loves you, at least this time. Nobody is actually lying. Good job! Everyone finds you to be the sweetest sim in the patch. And, trust me, you will most definitely take full advantage of all this attention. You mainly use it for a good cause. You love power, but not in an evil kind of way. You want to use that power to help those in need.

You attend University in hopes of being the future president of the free world and eventually start raising a happy family that is way better than how your current family dynamic is right now. I don’t really know anything, but deep down you want to be better than your parents because you have a weird feeling that they were doing some shady things before you were born.

Traits - Friendly, Family-Oriented, Good, Irresistible, and Schmoozer

Career - Political

Lifetime Wish - Leader of the Free World

Aesthetic Color/Colour

Goals:

Fix your relationship with your parent

Maintain A’s in school and even aim to become an honor/honour roll student (child-teen)

In high school, join the debate club

Enroll into University and major in Communications

Host a rant/protest once a week

Donate to a charity once in a while

Join a Social Group (Nerd, Rebel, or Jock)

Throw a party every weekend in Sims University

Earn the Communications degree

Reach level 10 in the Political Career

Be a good role model as a parent and a faithful spouse

Have about 2-4 kids

Retire from the Political Career once an elder

Generation #4 - Green Apple: One bad apple doesn’t spoil the whole bunch..

You want to find love just like how your parents have it. You can’t seem to find someone that fits the description of your dream partner. All of your attempts seem to fall flat. Why? You’re not that bad of a person. You’re just exploring a bit. You may be a little picky, but everyone has their own personal preferences within a person. Right? Hmm.. maybe you’re just picking the wrong kind of sims? Do not give up. Keep putting yourself out there until you find the one. Just do not get yourself caught up. They say the world is one tiny place..

Traits - Commitment Issues, Flirty, Over-emotional, Social Butterfly, and Unlucky

Career - Any self-employed career

Lifetime Wish - Heartbreaker

Aesthetic Color/Colour

Goals:

Maintain a good relationship with your parents

Create an Online Dating Profile

Go out on a date every weekend

Have 10 failed relationships (get caught cheating or initiate a break-up)

Have an accidental baby from a hook-up

Avoid/Lose contact with some of your friends. You forgot about them. You’re too “caught up” in love

Start a Personal Blog

Post daily blogs about your life

Reach level 7 in Social Networking skill

Attempt to meet someone through the Sim Finder App

C H O I C E:

This generation has a choice for you to make. These are choices that you could build off of and integrate into your storyline.

Good news! It looks like you may have found the sim of your dreams through your blog. Out of all those fishes in the sea, it only took ten different sims to find them. Do you try to fix your reputation, and finally settle down or continue to be a.. heartbreaker?

Generation #5 - Blueberry: Life is very sweet, and you are naturally sweet

Being generous and compassionate is one thing, but doing it all the time, even to the sims that do not deserve it.. gets draining. You kept it pushing. Hey, even I am surprised you lasted this long. Everyone makes mistakes. Although, some people are just unforgivable. It turns out you’re the type of sim that doesn’t hold others’ mistakes against them forever because holding grudges is immature.

You’ve studied hard to be in a career that has long tiresome hours where you’re barely at home, and if you think you got lucky in some extra lounge time – Oh! There goes your alarm, it’s time to clock in! Unfortunately, since you’re never home, some things just seem to slip under the rug. Only so much can be slipping through the cracks for you to be completely oblivious. Hmm, I wonder how long this has been going on for? I could never trust someone again after that stunt. Could you?

Traits - Ambitious, Eco-Friendly, Friendly, Genius, and Loves the Outdoors

Career - Science

Lifetime Wish - Become a Creature-Robot Cross Breeder or Renaissance Sim

Aesthetic Color/Colour

Goals:

Have your sim live the Eco-friendly lifestyle (ex: own a bicycle, eat organic food, recycle, etc)

Start a garden

Fish once a day

Catch/Collect 5 different uncommon or rare type of fishes

Master the Gardening, Handiness, and Fishing skill

Engineer a baby or create a small farm (ex: raise chickens, cows, horses, etc)

Fall in love with one of your co-workers

Once married, make your Spouse have 2 affairs and you must stay with them

Try repairing your marriage with your spouse, but only if you catch them cheating

Generation #6 - Grapefruit: Don’t be such a sour puss!

Let’s be realistic here. You need to get your life together. I’m sorry. I know this is something you do not want to hear, but ya need to put a pep in your step and do something with yourself. Pronto!

You find it quite unfair how other sims around you get to go on fancy trips, have nice cars, live in mansions or high-rise buildings, and afford expensive meals. You wonder to yourself how one can achieve all these kind of lifestyles. Dangerous choices can lead to serious consequences, but it’ll never stop you. I would say you like to live your life on the edge. So, what if you leave a place with five different things that do not belong to you? Any who — hey, wait a minute… since when did your neighbor/neighbour get such a nice car? Oh my god! Did they seriously leave their keys in the slot like that? Someone could just steal it. It is a really nice car though. I think I might take it for a little spin around the block.. Finders keepers, losers weepers!

Traits - Athletic, Childish, Hot-headed, Kleptomaniac, and Night-owl

Career - Criminal

Lifetime Wish - Possession is Nine Tenths of the Law

Aesthetic Color/Colour

Goals:

Steal 3 items a day

Possess §50,000 worth of stolen items (do not sell anything)

Befriend your ALL of your neighbors/neighbours. No one knows what you do in your free time. You could get some valuable goodies from them, wink wink

Get arrested

Work out 3 times a week at the community Gym

Master the Athletic skill

Live in a house worth over §100,000

Scuffle with someone once a week

Adopt a child

C H O I C E:

This generation has a choice for you to make. These are choices that you could build off of and integrate into your storyline.

Uh-oh, there’s a new addition to the family. Now, you have a lot of responsibility on your hands. This is very important to you. Is this the perfect time to finally get your life together by quitting your job as a Criminal and find a new job? Or, remain a Criminal, but hide it? This has been your lifestyle for a while. Just remember that this could also make you look like a “bad parent” because children can be easily influenced.

If you have made it to the end of this challenge, we want to thank you so much for participating and completing it. Let us know what you think as well!

[Dead Site Repository] - Looking for archives!

Hey everyone!

A semi-promotional post, on a feature not many knows about, but meant to be really useful—the Dead Site Repository!

💀What is the Dead Site Repository?

A simpler way to give old content a second chance at life!

Whether the original website is gone, the download links are broken, or the creator has retired and having many broken items, this is a place where those lost treasures can finally rest in peace—or be rediscovered. 😉

Why Simblr.cc's Repository?

I designed this with easier navigation in mind. While we’re all undoubtedly grateful for resources like SFS archives or Archive.org for preserving content, it can sometimes be a challenge to figure out what those items originally looked like.

And let’s not forget how tricky it can be to contribute your own content, especially if you happen to have that missing piece of a set!

One of the features I’m most proud of is that it’s fully collaborative! Meaning that you can add Files and Images to a site yourself too, even if someone else already made said collection.

[Dead Site Repository] - Looking For Archives!

Now with that out of the way...

🆘Help wanted!

Particularly, TS1, TS2, TS3, TS4, and TSM.

Whether it be sharing the page with other simmers, or your own contribution, any help will do! The mission of course being: Getting as many dead sites a "Rest in peace" they deserve, while also *technically* reviving them again.😉

📓What to do:

Creating a "Dead Site" Repository:

(If the site isn't in the 'dead sites' list yet) - Let me know via commenting on this post, or on the simblr discord the SITE NAME and, if possible, the URL. Optional, but If the site had a banner, or you made one for it, feel free to share that too!

Start a Collection. ... or update an existing collection! 😉

Each repository/dead site can have multiple games! However, make sure to tick the correct game when making a collection...

A Collection is sort of like a "set" or the "folder" of that content. Make sure of the following: If it's a Set, you use the set's name. If it is one item, you can title it that one content (i.e 'Ophelia hair'). If there's too much content to make a collection for, feel free to use “categories” instead. For example, if you have a bunch of hairs, just call them “Hairs” (EXAMPLE REPOSITORY).

However, please do at least attempt to sort them if possible! This will make it easier for people updating that collection! In the end, it's a community effort. 😉

🔍What sites are we looking for:

Sites in this case is a really broad term! But when I say 'Sites' I mean mostly:

Tumblr blogs

Blogspots/Blogs

Livejournals/dreamwidth/etc.

Original websites (Creator's original website)

Forum posts where the post/download is now missing.

...and when in doubt, feel free to ask!

There are a few criteria for the site to be considered 'dead'. I've already briefly mentioned, but for ease will mention here:

Sites of which the site is still online, but the creator is retired and now has broken CC links.

Sites that are no longer online/can't be reached (make sure this has been the case for a minimum of 1-3 months!)

Download/Blog Posts that have been deleted off of a person's blog. (Think: Someone retired as a CC creator and deleted all their CC).

.... And as always, feel free to ask when in doubt!

💬Questions:

❓ "I'm a creator who has already archived my old CC on SFS, but I'm still actively creating. Can I upload my older content here too?"

Of course! If you find the layout much more helpful for your old content, you can always use it too! Just make sure to reach out to me (@greenplumbboblover or message this blog) and I will create the repository for you! 😉

❓ "I don’t have the original images for that content/set. Can I take new screenshots in-game and use those instead?"

Yep! In the end, we only want to know what an item looks like, so any visual idea (as long as it's not a Paint drawing lol) will do! Do note though: Images *are* Optional. So you don't have to upload them with it. Sometimes someone might still have them laying around!

❓ "Am I allowed to cross-post from, let's say, TheSimsGraveyard to here?"

Sure! As long as the original place is totally cool with it, I don't see why not. 😉

❓ "Is NSFW stuff allowed?

It is, but it will have to adhere to the guidelines of the site: https://simblr.cc/tou/

❓ "I have a feature request!"

I always love to hear more about how to improve the website, so if you have any bugs, features, feedback, etc. Totally share it! In fact, I really appreciate it if you have any! ❤️

... and if you have any more questions, feel free to ask them! There are just some from the top of my head.

And if you don't have any of the content, or anything to help: Reblog! Share the post, etc. That way we can really set off this project together!

Thank you all for reading! Especially if you made it till here (hello, cool person!👋🏻)

I was going to make this post last week after an incident that pissed me off, and now there's more nonsense occurring, so here's my rage turned into something productive: some free posemakers whose work I really rate!

That's just off the top of my head, and I hope they all tag because Tumblr hates me... otherwise I'll be going back and adding links.

Edit: reader, they did not all tag. 😌

After Edith Bought Oliver Some New Clothes And A Much-needed Haircut They Went Off To Geekcon. Who Knew

After Edith bought Oliver some new clothes and a much-needed haircut they went off to geekcon. Who knew nerds bonding would be the thing to set the tone? They officially became a couple and decided to take a much need break from the world around them.

I forgot to snap the proposal oopsies BUT their wedding was beautiful! They honeymooned in Mt.Komorebi and had the time of their lives! Needless to say, i doubt He'll be thinking about that ex again any time soon.

I'm still trying to figure out what way is best for me to post so i apologize if everything is all over the place ( >_< '')

Oliver managed to land a job as a dishwasher, getting a promotion sooner than he expected due to his cooking skills! He enjoys cooking for Edith to grow his skills and help around the house. All was well until a night out at the lounge took a turn for the worse.

Spicy warning in one photo

Relya slides her way into Oliver's life again, pooy guy doesn't know she'll never change.

Edith: Promise me you'll distance yourself from her.

Oliver: I will, I promise.

Edith: You're better than this. let's not look back.

Oliver: *sniffles* Yeah... you're right, let's keep moving forward.

A few extra notes from their back story.

The scar on Oliver's arm was from a fight when he was homeless.

Relya currently lives comfortably in San Myshuno. She not only stole Oliver's money but also cheated on him with another man who she also stole money from. However, she still does have feelings for Oliver.

Meet Bryson And JoAnna, My Two Founding Sims For The Sims In Bloom Challenge! Married And Living In The

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.

Gen 1 - Daisy (white, yellow)

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

Live on a lot with the lot challenge ‘Simple living’

Grow a cowplant and keep it alive for as long as you live (if it dies, immediately plant a new one)

Grow 5 perfect plants

Marry a sim who also has the ‘loves outdoors’ trait

*Gain the Outdoorsy lifestyle

*Grow a death flower

-Since the last two are optional I may or may not do them!

General rules

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).

This challenge requires:

Expansion packs - City Living, Get Together, Get to Work, Cats and Dogs, Seasons, Get Famous, Island Living, Eco Lifestyle, Discover University, Snowy Escape, Cottage Living

Game packs - Spa Day, Dine Out, Vampires, Outdoor Retreat, Parenthood, Realm of Magic

Stuff pack - Nifty Knitting
