๐Ÿ“– The story

Every child rebels against their parents โ€” but in this dynasty it's the law. Each heir must become the deliberate opposite of the one before: where a parent was a tidy office-working homebody, the child is a messy artist who never sits still. Ten generations of family members who can't stand each other's choices.

๐Ÿ’ The goal

Complete **ten generations** where every heir contradicts their parent in every major way.

๐Ÿ“‹ General rules

  • One heir continues each generation.
  • No money cheats after setup.
  • Each heir is raised in, then rejects, the parent's way of life.

โœจ Specific rules

  • Each heir's **career** must differ from their parent's.
  • Heir **traits** must contrast the parent's wherever possible (neatโ†”slob, socialโ†”loner, and so on).
  • The heir's whole lifestyle flips each generation.

โœ… What you can do

  • Use any traits, careers and aspirations to build each heir's opposite.
  • Use `bb.moveobjects`.

โ›” What you can't do

  • Each heir must oppose their parent in trait, career and aspiration โ€” no overlap at all.
  • The heir must be born in-game.
  • No money cheats.

Fully base-game.

๐Ÿ’ก Strategy tips

  • Note each parent's traits and career before designing the heir, so the contrast is genuine and not accidental overlap.
  • Use teen years to seed the rebellion โ€” let the heir visibly diverge before they age up.
  • Keep a generation log so by Gen 8 you still remember what's already been "used."

๐Ÿ”ฅ Want it harder?

  • Heirs must also reject the parent's home aesthetic โ€” fully redecorate the lot every generation.
  • Contrast must extend to aspiration *and* preferred world/lot type.
