Pumpkin Patch Legacy - Sims 4

 

Pumpkin Patch Legacy

by friendlyArtist

Basic Rules

• Start off on the largest lot available and build an empty, small, shack with a fenced in garden. The garden will have 6 spots for crops. Set money to 0. If you start with a pet, you may give them a food bowl and set your money to 5 simoleons instead.

• Use cheats if necessary, but not to control pregnancy or money, unless you have to take away money.

• Challenge is 5 generations long, each a different pumpkin color. You can base your sim around this color.

• Mods used: MCCommand, UI Cheats, etc. You WILL need the Functional Mill mod, the Honey Collection mods, Carl's Dine Out Reloaded, and the Live in Business mod for at least the first three generations.

Generation 1 : Orange Pumpkin

You leave home on your 18^th birthday, given one present from your distant parents: A large plot of land. What you do with this plot is up to you. And you want to turn it into a Meadery. You're grandparents owned one, so why not you? It's in your honey sweet soul. So you settle down and make your honey dreams come true.

• Max out the Nectar Making, Mead Making, and Mixology skills.

• Fill your garden up to the brim with bee hives, both wild and not.

• Complete the Expert Nectar Maker aspiration.

• Have 3-5 kids to help you make your personal store boom.

Generation 2: Yellow Pumpkin

You grew up around lots of family and became quite the social butterfly. From a young age, you showed skill in running the family store. You take over one day when your parents are too old to run the store, and buy a second store as well. You want to sell all kinds of pastries in it, not just the family mead and wines. Eventually you want to be able to make it run itself.

• Inherit the family business when your parents become Elders. Until then, sell your goods in a tiny corner of the shop or by using a Food Stall.

• Max out the Baking skill and level up Cooking enough to bake Honey Cakes for the store.

• Buy a retail store or a restaurant and sell nothing but sweets, nectar, soda, and juices. If you can make it, they will sell it.

• Have two children. You're too busy for more than that.

Generation 3: Green Pumpkin

Owning a store is nice and all, but its not your thing. You would rather grow the crops that supply the stores. You grew up with a green thumb and a garden when you were a child. You decided to go to Uni fresh out of high school and get a degree in Biology to become a Botanist!

• Max out the Gardening skill and the Research and Debate skill.

• Turn the family business into a side hustle, managed by your oldest sibling who lives with you.

• Have each of these types of plants at one time in their life: Fruit, Flower, Vegetable, Cowplant,Tree, and Herb.

Generation 4: Blue Pumpkin

Business just made your head spin. You wanted to be done with it and just paint your way to fame. That is, if luck was on your side. You sold your art from the youngest age you could to try and become famous, but things don't always go as planned for someone as clumsy and gloomy as you.

• Max out the Acting skill and the Painting Skill.

• Go through a few promotions as an actor, then find your calling as a freelance artist.

• Have a few relationships and give up after your third.

• Complete the Painter Extraordinaire aspiration as far as you can. But not before you pursue your dream career.

• Get at least 2 star in fame. (Fame is a little finicky sometimes in my save file so that's why the goal bar is so low.)

Generation 5: White Pumpkin

As a kid of this successful legacy, it has left you feeling anxious. You aren't sure what you want to do until the day you move to Brindleton Bay. Then you aspire to be a Vet that can take care of all the strays and precious pets of the sim world.

• Max out the Vet Skill and the Pet Training Skill.

• Own more than three pets, at least one cat and one dog.

• Sell the family business, with permission, to buy your own veterinary building.

• Your lot must be a dog hangout or cat hangout. Or both if you are feeling up to it.

• Have a fling with a friend, and have a child with them, but stay friends.

Amarantha Legacy Challenge (Sims 4)

 

Amarantha Legacy Challenge

A five generation challenge based on the legacy of one of my original characters I have had for ages. Each generation is named after the meaning of each character's name.

Project Eternia: Darklight!

     I have finally come up with a name for the newly revamped story: Darklight! It's full folder name is actually Project Eternia: Darklight, but the title itself is just "Darklight".

    As such, I will be posting doodles and current concept art here still but the actual story will be moved over to another blog:  Darklight

    Hopefully you all will enjoy my story there and continue to support the growth of Darklight and its story. Thank you all for your patience!

 

 

Project Etheria: Legend of the Four Seasons Project Status

    So as you may have noticed, I removed all the chapters of my story Legend of the Four Seasons. It is going through a revamp. I am adding characters and removing characters. I am also debating on merging the two halves of the full story into one, large story. If I do that, it will change names to a better, more suitable name for the full thing.

    One thing that hasn't changed is the character Elyes. I fell in love with his most recent design and decided it was finalized. His story may change a little depending on where we go with it, but the design and personality are set in stone.

 

 

    One thing that will change a lot depending on the story's path, is Kenna's design. She has gone through many reworks, and I have yet to find a design that I am satisfied with. This is her most recent design:

    Another change that is going to happen, is that this story originated as a bit of a Minecraft Roleplay I was working on in the past. I haven't done anything with the old map I was designing since I lost it. So I am scrapping the minecraft aspects and just going with my own original content.

Current status on Sims Challenges

    The Sims challenges will probably halt for a while until my sims game gets fixed and I have the newest pack so I can make the best version of the challenge I can. Currently I don't even have the Sims 4 or Sims 3 installed because of bugs and space issues which will hopefully be resolved soon.
