Not So Berry Legacy Challenge
Do you like the rainbow? Do you like the idea of playing with berry Sims but hate berry Sims? Do you want to mess around with aspects of the game you’ve never used before? Boy, do I have the challenge for you!
Welcome to the Not So Berry Legacy Challenge, a ten generation legacy with a focus on bright colors and new experiences.
Basic Rules:
Each heir must represent the color of the generation (i.e. hair, makeup, clothing), but brightly colored skin is not necessary (these aren’t actually berry Sims, that’s the joke). Of course, this is optional but a big portion of the fun.
The colors of the spouses don’t matter as they aren’t part of the challenge. Unless otherwise stated you can do whatever you please with them.
Money cheats can be used, but not excessively. Suggestion: use freerealestate for your first home, but no cheats afterward.
You may live wherever you please unless something is specified in the rules of a generation.
Every generation is supposed to complete both the career and aspiration of the heir unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Keep the lifespan on normal.
If you play this challenge and want to share it with us, go ahead and post with #notsoberry on twitter, tumblr, or even the gallery so we can see!

We worked really hard on this challenge and are very excited to finally share it with you. Happy Simming!
I may try this out!! I've only ever done regular legacies before, and since I prefer playing on long, this one will be a quicker pace for me. I think I may go create a founder right now (:
Edit: Here she is! I've just named her Mint, because I made her eccentric and I thought it would fit. I thought I'd make her a bit eccentric since she is a scientist, but displayed in her accessories her love for material items. I generally play "normal" sims, so I thought I would experiment! I also don't have much custom content, so it was a bit difficult finding mint colored clothing and I made do with what I had.
I just created my Founder finally! (Had to wait to get GTW!) I'm excited to give this a try!

I love the scientist career! I haven't played much since I'm switching back and forth depending on who I feel like playing with, but so far also loving it!

I've been doing this challenge for a little while and decided to look up if there was a thread in the forums here. Yay! I found one! Here is my first generation sim. Her name is Everly Berry. She actually just aged to elderly. (I cheated and aged them down in CAS to take screen shots as young adults. Keon is adult with 2 days until elderly. Then I clicked undo to X out of CAS back to the game.) I haven't been taking screenshots of my game play. She ended up having twins. I named them Royce and Roslyn. They are now teenagers, with 7 days until young adult.
Hi there, I've just started doing this legacy and it's so much fun. I don't think my founder will achieve all the expected goals, though. She's not doing so well at work and the Mischief aspiration is taking a bit of a back seat.
I posted some pictures in Tumblr and if anyone is interested, here is the link: http://cillaben.tumblr.com
I hadn't got around to posting my founder, but here she is! Patina Prism! I've played for a little bit, switching on and off with my other Legacy family, but it's been fun! I'm loving the science career! It's fun to go to work with her! And we've found a fair number of elements so far! Gotta start making friends though outside of work. Lol She does have an enemy at work though.

Hey guys!! If you're looking for some Not-So-Berry cuties to put in your game I actually made a few to spice up Beryl's life!!
(Most of these are her co-workers fyi. and if you do want them jsut lemme know~)
Oh that's cool, @princess2109! I was just happy when I found a sim with some color in his hair for my NotSoBerry sim. hahah

Just a little update on Beryl! We are 5 elements away from completion, level 5 in the Science career, but kinda falling behind on the mischeif skill. Never really used that skill before
You had everything you desired as a child but you were always longing for more. As an adult you have a hard time committing to relationships as you’re so focused on your career. If we had a workaholic trait in The Sims 4 you would have it. You have absolutely no maternal instincts whatsoever but you still love your child with all your heart.
Traits: Hot Headed, Snob, Romantic Aspiration: Serial Romantic Career: Politician
Rules:
-Only have one child
-Leave someone at the alter
-Get married as an elder
I am working on Gen two... but how does one leave someone at the alter.. I've never actually done this.

Uh oh... well ... uh.. how though.. is there an option that pops up to not complete the ceremony once it is going? (btw.. both friendship and romance is 100% on the sim I have chosen to play out my storyline with)
I thought this had been play tested by the creators? I have not left someone at the alter either, have made a founder for this challenge, but haven't started as yet, does anyone know how to do this? I'd hate to get to this stage and not be able to do it. Do you have to have a certain trait, like non-committal ? maybe?
