Not So Berry

📖 The story

A rainbow legacy for people who love berry Sims but can't stand actual berry Sims. Ten generations, each built around a single colour and a wildly specific personality — a mischievous mint scientist, a heartless rose politician, a clumsy yellow astronaut — each one forcing you into corners of the game you'd normally never touch.

💝 The goal

Complete **ten generations**, each heir fulfilling their colour's assigned **career, aspiration, traits and special rules**.

🎀 Packs required

📋 General rules

• Play in normal live mode at normal lifespan — no speeding through.
• Each heir expresses their generation's colour (hair / makeup / clothing); spouses are exempt and can look however you like.
• Each generation must complete **both** its assigned career and aspiration unless a generation's rules say otherwise.
• One heir carries the bloodline to the next colour.

✨ Specific rules

• Gen 1 — Mint: Scientist / Chief of Mischief. Traits Vegetarian, Jealous, Materialistic. Master Mischief & Logic; complete the Elements collection. A luxury-loving prankster scientist.
• Gen 2 — Rose: Politician / Serial Romantic. Traits Snob, Hot-Headed, Romantic. Master Charisma. Only **one** child; leave someone at the altar; don't marry until elder.
• Gen 3 — Yellow: Astronaut / Nerd Brain. Traits Clumsy, Ambitious, Loner. Master Rocket Science & Handiness; build a rocket and visit Sixam; find the secret lot in Oasis Springs. No close ties except the Gen-1 grandparent until that grandparent dies.
• Gen 4 — Grey: Athlete / Bodybuilder. Traits Active, Slob, Music Lover. Master Singing, Parenting & Athletic. Endure three failed relationships before settling.
• Gen 5 — Plum: Entertainer (via Fast Food → Doctor → Entertainer) / Renaissance Sim. Traits Genius, Noncommittal, Dance Machine. An indecisive oddball: works as a doctor, then quits to chase dancing.
• Gen 6 — Orange: Criminal / Public Enemy. Traits Evil, Self-Assured, Glutton. Master Baking & Charisma. Live in an apartment with the **Needs TLC** trait the whole young-adult life; have **twins** as the only children (cheating for twins allowed); keep insisting you're a criminal mastermind that nobody believes.
• Gen 7 — Pink: Business → Writer / Best Selling Author. Grew up poor; works the family business job, then finally quits to write romance novels. Hopeless romantic, hopelessly unflirty.
• Gen 8 — Peach: Detective + part-time Comedian / (comedy/detective persona). Splits life between solving cases and chasing laughs.
• Gen 9 — Green: Tech Guru / Computer Whiz. The cheerful family geek; master Programming on the way up.
• Gen 10 — Blue: Critic / Super Parent. Traits Gloomy, Perfectionist, Family-Oriented. Master Photography, Cooking & Parenting; marry a high-school sweetheart and stay together to the end; adopt at least one child; hide a single affair. The bloodline ends here.

✅ What you can do

• Adjust or swap any rule to fit the packs you own — the challenge is explicitly flexible.
• Theme each heir's hair, clothes and home décor to their colour.
• Use money cheats if you like — it's a relaxed, story-first challenge.

⛔ What you can't do

• Don't change a generation's assigned career, aspiration or traits — that's the whole point.
• Don't skip a generation's special rules.
• No ageing heirs up before they've met their required milestones.

🎮 If you don't own the packs

It leans on several packs, but lilsimsie publishes swaps; wherever you lack a pack, substitute a fitting base-game career or aspiration for that generation.

💡 Strategy tips

• Write each heir's colour, career, aspiration and rules into an in-game note so you never lose track mid-generation.
• Lock your ten colour palettes early (which hair/clothing swatches "read" as each colour) so Mint and Green don't blur together by the late generations.
• Time your births: only have the next heir once the current one is well into their career, so you have time to finish their goals.

💕 Milestones — track your progress

🔥 Want it harder?

• Complete every aspiration **without** using satisfaction-point reward traits to shortcut it.
• Run it as true berry Sims — colour the skin too — and add the Legacy Challenge's single-lot rule on top.

🎭 Variations

Many extended "Not So Berry 2.0 / all-packs" versions add generations 11+; you can also remap any pack-locked career to one you own (the challenge openly supports skipping or swapping generations for packs you don't have). ---
