    Oh my god I just had twins! I do not have fertility, all I did was watch kids TV and take care of her! The mom is a vegetarian, so the kids may or may not be. (You know, random traits) The boy is Blaze and the girl is Kailey. I randomized the names. Well, got one boy and one girl, so double score. I think that Kailey will be the successor. I chose first born to be heir, so I am going to let Kailey be the heir because girls get pregnant, not guys. The lucky father and mother is Victor Feng and Jana Weigand.(Thanks to the community for ~ Cute Girl Jana ~) Alright, gonna age them up right away because I am lazy today. :D >:) o:) B) :p ;) <3 :# I wish I could share the picture.

    Ok, so I randomized the traits and Kailey is inquisitive and Blaze is an inquirer. I, of course (because I am lazy) aged them up right away. I will keep posting information.

    Ok, my mistake. Blaze is independent.

    Ok I randomized the traits for the aged up child. Ok, I don't get why this is random, but it is whiz kid and genius for Blaze. Also, somehow the twins are not having the same birthday?

    For my other child, Kailey, I got lucky and got a music lover. She is a rambunctious scamp.

    Alright, so Blaze aged up. He is (randomized still, duh) a Friend of the Animals, and Materialistic. (Like father, like son. Am I right, or am I right?)

    This sounds really fun, I'm excited to see where the challenge goes! I just started my first generation and I've already managed to burn the kitchen, have three relationships, and spend all my simoleons... This is going to be an interesting route.

    Funny story!

    I am playing this challenge right now, just started it last night and am on Generation One. My sim is in the city for the flea market and met a woman who she instantly connected with, was instantly flirty and their romance bar filled up about 1/2 within a minute!! I have NEVER had a Sim be so obviously lesbian or bi-sexual so quickly! I guess my storyline is going to take a quick twist towards adoption for this one! LOL!

    I've decided to take on this challenge because I've become bored with my sims recently. Here goes nothing!!

    Haha, the funny thing is. When I started the challenge I got my first gen sim (female) and made her marry Joaquin Le Chien. They later had twins. A boy and a girl. haha. I think it was meant to be. So far I think I’m going to give all my sims French names. I picked the heir is the first born and since the boy popped out first I guess he will be my heir. Their names were Jacque and Suzanne.

    Sims 4 Generations Challenge


    Updates
    • 6/30/2015-Added GTW rules and rules on influencing gender



    This challenge is to make you think of the game differently. The Generation Challenge is similar to The Legacy Challenge, but completely different at the same time. The goal is to make it through 10 generations with completely different personalities for each generation and a new challenge to complete with each set of children.

    Gameplay Setup
    When starting the Generations Challenge it is best to start out by making a new world, if you put your Founder in a town with other pre made sims you can’t play the other sims in that world. You do this by clicking the + at the top of the startup screen in the Sims 4.

    Your journey begins in Create a Sim (CAS). Here you begin making your sim. Do whatever you want, the only restrictions are it has to be a young adult and the only sim in the household. Feel free to pick any traits you want, but remember genetics aren't the only thing passed down from generation from generation.

    Once you finish up in CAS then you move on to the next part, moving in. Start by picking an empty 30x20 lot. This is not your forever home, you will be assigned to move later in the game (optional). It should cost your sim 2,000 simoleons.

    Now after all that is decided you must pick your Heir Factors. The Heir Factors decides who will be the one to continue the family into the next generation. Once you pick these you can’t go back. These are based off of the Legacy Challenges Succession Laws.

    Gender
    • Female Only- Females can only be heirs, unless there are no living female children.
    • Male Only- Males can only be heirs, unless there are no living male children.
    • Alternating- Going male, female, till the end of the game.
    • Equality- Heirs can be either male or female.

    Blood
    • Blood Relation- Direct descendant of the parents, unless there are no living blood relation children.
    • Foster Only- Only adopted children can be heirs, unless there are no living adopted children.
    • Equality- Adopted or blood related sims can be heirs.

    Heir
    • First Born- The first born child is the heir.
    • Youngest- The youngest child is the heir.
    • Friendship- The highest friendship with the parent is the heir.
    • Pool- All eligible children are randomly drawn to be the heir.

    Rules
    1. No restarting after a bad event. Quitting after a bad event also gets rid of all the good ones. See how you can fix the mistakes!
    2. No cheats/mods that make give you an unfair advantage. It ruins the fun and also makes it not as a challenge as it should be.
    3. No bringing the dead back, you CAN plead the with the reaper though and have ghosts, but nothing else.
    4. Anti-aging potion can only be used once per generation.
    5. You can only have one played household in the world. You can add households in the world for friends, but not spouses.
    6. You can’t move out the heir CHILD once they are elders you can do whatever you would like with them, but you can move out the spares (kids who aren't heirs).

    Spouse
    When getting married Sims can bring in money, but not so much that it would be like using cheats. If your spouse has a child when you marry them in, then that child MUST move in with your spouse. If that child moves in as anything younger than a teen, it CAN become an heir as long as it fits along the guidelines.

    After awhile the dating pool starts to deplete and you CAN bring in some households from the gallery or make them in CAS. Use a random trait generator for the traits. The only rule on doing that is it can have no more than 4 sims in the household. If you would like to help out with the households upload them with the hashtag #MakeAGeneration.


    Children
    Children no matter if they are the heir or not, can be introduced into the family through pregnancy or adoption. If a child is adopted they must be an infant. If you are adopting a child their last name must be the same as the family who adopted them. When picking the child's trait and aspiration it must have one similar trait to the mother or father, ex: good trait to charismatic or evil to mean, the two other traits are completely up to you. The aspiration can be anything you believe fit to the child's personality. You MAY NOT influence gender. Any Sim that is abducted by aliens and becomes pregnant has a choice of keeping the child, the child counts as adopted and with whatever your heir rules are may or may not become an heir.

    Generations and Generation Challenges
    Generation challenges are the mini-challenges that you have to complete before you finish the generation. You have to complete at least 4 of the 5 before the original parent of the generation dies AND the heir grows into a young adult. If your heir is the first born you have less time to complete the challenges ahead.

    Each generation is a little bit different, from the challenges, to the entire personality of the children in it. The challenges may grow harder, or may grow easier. You DO NOT have to do the challenges in order. With each expansion pack or game pack there will be a replacement generation where you can carry out the challenge with that generation instead of the one originally listed. If you pick to use the replacement generation and still complete the original generation you will only score with the first 10 generations of children.
