Hi! I've started a new combined challenge since my save for the last one is causing too many problems (Elizabeth won't age up!). It involves five Elemental characters: Earth (plantsim), Air (fairy), Fire (witch), Water (merman), and Spirit (genie). Each one has a particular colour: earth -green/brown, air - white, fire - red/orange, water - blue, spirit - pink, and that's the colours of their skin/eyes/hair. No technology is allowed except for a stove - no tv, radio or computer.
It's a semi-ISBI because I'm only allowed to control the sims between 9am and 4pm (except for Fire because she has to cook). Jealousy is turned off so that they can have children with whoever they like, to get a range of genetics. Each element has one thing they're allowed to make money from (earth - gardening, water - fishing, air - painting, fire - potions, spirit - sculpting). Can't control toddlers or children, but can control teens regarding money making activities.
The heir to each element is the first one born of each element that has the correct skin colour (ie. water must be blue and a mer person). So far, I have an earth heir and an air heir, but spirit has just had twins, both of whom are genies with pink skin, so I've got to work out whether to go first born or the one who first rolls savvy sculptor or proper (which are the spirit traits).
Hello everyone
With Seasons on the near horizon {22June2018} I am considering updating some of my challenges. Specifically the beginning stages when starting without shelter. Hopefully I can get a copy of #TS4Seasons and test the impact of weather on each challenge.
Stay tuned for more information and as always thank you for supporting my creations and challenges.
Time for me to begin again. Old save was deleted. I have several challenges I'm doing right now but I've just printed out the Mash-up rules and am eager to begin again. Not sure which challenges I'll mash up but Room Challenge will be the beginning.

I think a good mash-up idea is to combine the Generation heir legacy (1st generation specifically) with the asylum challenge (have the gen 1 heir start out as a kid locked in a mental institution).

That is an excellent idea It would be interesting to see how that plays out.
I'm *finally* starting the Challenge Mashup today. It's been on my back burner for a while but finally got to the front! I'm starting with the "room" then "rosebud" then on to " #Devin21 #TryItAll Legacy Challenge. I'll see how it goes...lol

Ooo I need to look at that
#TryItAll Legacy Challenge. This looks like a great Challenge Mashup
I did a great mash-up last year: it combined the Hotel Challenge with the Perfect Genetics and a semi-ISBI. The Hotel part is where your founder, and any heirs, need to run a hotel for a number of guests (who can't be controlled all that much, hence the semi-ISBI part). Each heir had to have the blue eyes of the founder and the hair colour (different each generation) of the other parent, and if there were multiple heirs, the first one to get one of the chosen traits (natural cook, neat, brave) or whichever one I liked the most, won. Amber, my founder with orange hair and blue eyes (from my first family man challenge) had an heir on the first try, with triplets!
Gen 1: needed black hair, blue eyes (Sunlit Tides, married Marc Brandt from Twinbrook)
1. Ebony (hair), Raven (hair), Sable (hair and eyes -heir) - all female
2. Jet (none) - male
3. Coal (hair), Night (none) - both male
4. Licorice (none) - female
5. Cinder (none), Blackberry (hair), Ash (hair) - all female
6. Ink (eyes) - male
7. Panther (hair) - male
So 7 females and 5 males, and only one perfect heir (although my pics on the family tree make it hard to see colours of eyes). 7 got the black hair but only two the blue eyes.
Gen 2: (white hair, blue eyes) (Sunlit Tides, Dragon Valley; married Reed Grantham, born to townies in ST)
1. Lace (eyes), Sugar (eyes), Cloud (none) - 2 females, 1 male
2. Snow (hair) - female
3. Glacier (hair), Frost (hair and eyes -heir) - male, female
4. Lamb (none), Polar (hair) - both female
5. Cotton (none), Icelandia (hair and eyes) - male, female
6. Crystalle (none), Misty (hair and eyes) - both female
So 9 females and only 3 males this time, and 3 perfect heirs. 5 got the blue eyes this time, and 6 got the white hair.
Gen 3: (green hair, blue eyes) (Dragon Valley, Lunar Lakes; married Breandan O'Shea, townie from DV)
1. Leaf (eyes), Fern (hair and eyes) - male, female
2. Shamrock (hair and eyes), Clover (hair), Forest (hair and eyes) - male, female, male
3. Hunter (hair), Olive (hair and eyes -heir) - male, female
4. Willow (eyes) - female
5. Cyprus (none), Laurel (eyes) - male, female
6. Lime (hair) - male
So 5 females and 6 males, with four perfect heirs. Olive was the cutest and she had pointy ears! 7 got the blue eyes and 7 got the green hair.
Gen 4: (blue hair, blue eyes) (Lunar Lakes, married Remington Waverley Jr, from CAS)
1. Sapphire (hair and eyes -heir)
And that's where I stopped . But getting that far was pretty good for me! Four generations and 121 sim days!!!
My current game will hopefully become a legacy too. Each generation is going to do a different challenge though. So the founding generation has done the Runaway Teen challenge. Tatiana (from another save of mine, who was supposed to be the next heir but I got bored) made her start fishing, collecting flowers and foraging in the dumpsters for furniture. She adopted a stray dog, who has been wonderful and found heaps of gems and metal for her.
Tatiana met a teen boy, Dewey, and he seduced her. When she told him she was pregnant, he ran away straight afterwards (I was so amused when that happened!). His older brother Yarrow (both of the boys are from a second Family Man challenge), who had also been interested in Tatiana, stuck by her and they got married as soon as she aged into a YA. The next two pregnancies were totally autonomous (I never seem to have my sims auto TFB!). So she had twins Emily and Cassidy by Dewey, then twins Milan and Shayla, and singleton Chiara with Yarrow, and at least one more is on the way! All the girls have inherited Yarrow's (and Dewey's) red hair (only Milan got Tatiana's pink hair); eye colour seems evenly split. The second lot of twins inherited their grandmother's normal skin, while Chiara got her father's (his was yellow on the slider, hers is green), and the first twins got variations on their mother's turquoise skin (again, on a slider).
The heirs will be determined by ever whoever I like the best, or if a sim randomly rolls a particular trait. If it's family-orientated, it will be the 19 Kids And Counting challenge; Nurturing will get the 7 Toddler challenge; Evil/Mooch/Kleptomaniac with a male will get the Kissing Bandit challenge; handy will get the challenge where you can only build with blueprints; dislikes children will get the proper Perfect Genetics challenge; Loser will get a short version of the Loser Challenge; and Rebellious/Avant Garde will get a dystopia one that I can't remember the name of! If I can last through all those generations, I'll be doing well!
@MayaRose1138 Your Mashup sounds quite intriguing. I consider getting past gen four a real achievement I rarely get to generation five without extreme effort.
Thank you for sharing your experience
Reading through this thread I was thinking WOW I need to try this sometime! Then when I was just browsing through my save games, it seems I have a family who has attempted this before haha! Awkwardddd.

@MayaRose1138 Reading your mashup report intrigued me. Very good read.
Thank you both . I'm really enjoying this save at the moment, and not just because of my sim family. I allowed them to try for one more child and they ended up with triplets! Xavier, Savannah and Leo (of which only Xavier got Tatiana's hair). So they had to move. I had expanded Tatiana's original house to have three bedrooms and a nursery but with eight kids... So I retrieved Willow Manor from Twinbrook and moved them in there. It took all the gems and metal they had, and they were left with about $1,500 afterwards, so now they have to save up again! And they snuck a TFB in yesterday and of course, are now pregnant again! I'm not used to my sims doing that! And a stray dog actually ended up on their lot (which also never happens) so they adopted her.
But the townies are having a lot of fun. I have a mod that allows for a male and female Casanova (you know what I mean) in the town. The first male one was married. He had three kids with his first wife, then divorced her and married the female Casanova . They had four kids, then divorced and now he's on his third wife and had one child with her! His eldest daughter had five children while a teen (because I had that turned on for my sim and some of the teens took advantage!) and then a sixth with her childhood sweetheart when they both became YA. However, she's now the female Casanova and got pregnant to a client! So now her husband has divorced her! Oh, the shenanigans of this town!! I have never been so amused

I'm onto the second generation. Fifth child Chiara rolled family-orientated for her teen birthday, so she is the heir and will do the 7 toddler challenge combined with the Tiny House, Big Family challenge. Her house is six shipping containers joined together over three stories. There are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen/dining/living area, a spare room which will probably get used for hobbies, and a couple of small patio areas. The only problem I've got at the moment is trying to find her someone to have babies with! She's not allowed to get married until the kids are children, so she had to find someone, get pregnant, then wait seven days until she can get married!
Hello everyone
Hope you are all enjoying playing the game. I especially enjoy challenging myself by trying new things. What kinds of #ChallengeMashUp are you playing?
@EuphorialQueen maybe you could give me tips on how to Mash up the History Challenge and the Decades Challenge? Since at some point in the future I want to continue the Songs of the Crows legacy which is going to be a mash up of the two.
