I am working on the Plum generation(Violet). She has moved 4 times, been married and divorced and now on the last career. So close to getting a few level 8 skills. Generation Orange(Poppy) is now a teen and things are getting hectic! I found the calendar that came with seasons to be really helpful to setup movie night in the Grey gen. Good luck everyone!
I have a quick question regarding Generation 5 (Plum)
Can you leave the doctor career at any point?
Or should you master the career?
Also, when entering the entertainer career, should we choose the musician path? Or the comedian path?
Loving this challenge so far!
I left when she became a doctor so she got the diploma. I don't think it was specified in the rules.
I chose the musician path because it didn't say which path to take but I felt the musician one was good because she liked music and to dance. I wish DJ would have been option because that would be perfect!
I also did a bit of a cheat on her relationship. I chose a vampire so I could make sure he stayed alive lol. I did have her master the Vampire lore so she was able to cure him in the end. She has now passed and I am fully on the Orange gen and the pink gen has been born and is now a child.
I am almost done with Poppy my orange gen. She just has to finish off her career now(lvl 9). Camellia pink gen is now a teenager and working towards her goals. I haven't moved them out of the tlc apartment because I was tired of moving with the plum gen(5times). They just celebrated feast day. Also I learned the hard way about fighting with the landlord she wouldn't fix a thing after that lol.
@queenvortex808 Yellow is a pretty color and it was a fun generation.

Personally since the challenge hasn't been updated to include the more recent packs/updates, I really want my Plum Generation (I JUST Finished the Mint Generation and is heading onto the Rose generation so.. I plan ahead.) To enter the acting career. I would probably leave the Doctor career then enter it once they age up into an adult as some sort of "mid-crisis" type thing. I also want to make changes to the Peach generation since I really would like to complete the aspiration for every generation, so I might either have them enter the Detective career and then enter the Comedian career, or I might just change their aspiration to "Friend of the World" or something.
@Maddisans Good idea planning ahead for the plum generation a lot of skill building. I wasn't sure I was going to complete it lol.
I just finished up the orange generation. Had a little mishap when a popup while Poppy was at work came up and I booted her out of her career so it took a couple of days to get back as head honcho.
Working on Cameilla's skills and now that she is a young adult she has started on the business career path. So far she has written 3/5 excellent books. The waiter in the toasting pic is Tristan who she has a great relationship with but fumbles at taking it to the next level. So in the meantime she writes little stories where her romantic heroines are getting their happily ever afters.
Also I remember someone saying that for their pink and orange generations, they had lots of money and weren't sure how that could fit into the storyline. For a solution, the orange generation is moreso the "black sheep" of the family, so on a storytelling perspective, they could be disowned due to their evil tendencies or they could've ran away wanting to just start their own life. And again, for storytelling purposes, the pink generation probably wouldn't be on the best of terms with their mom/dad due to, again, their evil and selfish nature so they wouldn't give their kids much.
But that's just if you want to tie in a story with it. Of course, the "storyline" is open for interpretation.
Oh yes, I have over 650,000 just in money that isn't including what is in the inventory. When you get to the pink generation money is not an issue. My yellow generation(Lemon) got a ufo fruit so I had a pretty steady income.
Poppy and Cameilla do not have a great relationship her mother keeps accusing her of touching her things lol. I do try on Cameilla's side to get a better relationship due to her nature but Poppy is having none of it. Erik her twin got the mean streak trait as a teen and he picked on Cameilla so bad that their relationship is really nonexistent. Living in the TLC apartment also puts everyone on edge as well.
For me, my story is just that Cameilla has no clue about the money and when her mother dies finds out that it all goes to her mean brother. He disowns her and that is when she finds out why her mother and brother were so mean to her. Her brother laundering the money for their mother because he is a techie and doing hacking jobs to earn his mother more and more money.
@Maddisans I can't wait to hear about your NSB story. I like your ideas about the plum generation!
For the over abundance of funds for Orange/Pink gen, I sunk the family funds into a bakery.
For me the bakery acts as a front for Orange's criminal empire. It also allows me to work on the baking skill, whilst the family spending large amounts of time at the bakery together. It explains why Pink thinks of their parent as a business person working hard everyday to make a living (whilst allowing me to move money out of the family funds for the "definitely legit business")
I'm attempting this a 3rd time. !st time I got distracted and didn't get past the 1st gen. I took out a bunch of cc and just did not want replace things and yeah. 2nd time I got to the yellow gen and my computer died. So rip those saves. This is my 3rd time AND I WILL DEFEAT IT. I really like the idea of this and want to complete it lol.
This is my founder, Cordelia Bourbonnais. Hopefully I finish this lol

I'm playing this challenge for the first time :smile: my founder is called Mini Polo, she's just got her first boyfriend who actually has a similar hair colour too haha! I wanted to post a pic but I can't yet :disappointed:
Quick question regarding the challenge, if you have a male baby, do they take on the following generation as the heir or do you need to have a baby girl also? Thanks!
Hello there started to challenge myself~
My Mint generation founder is Mimzie Berry
She is level 6 in mischief and 7 in logic, level 5 in the science career, and tier 3 in her aspiration, the element collection is going~
She had a fling with Miko ( since that cutie simmie is a serial romantic) and now Mimzie has a daughter named Azalea ( for the red variation of the flower)
I am working on the Plum generation(Violet). She has moved 4 times, been married and divorced and now on the last career. So close to getting a few level 8 skills. Generation Orange(Poppy) is now a teen and things are getting hectic! I found the calendar that came with seasons to be really helpful to setup movie night in the Grey gen. Good luck everyone!
I'm just getting onto the grey gen myself and she's pregnant with what will be my next heir - I haven't been so strict with the rules for me because it was just to challenge me and my gameplay but I have done everything NSB specific.
I'm struggling with remembering everything they need to do so I think I'm a bit behind on some of my grey gen skills than I could have been (like I was so on it with yellow)
Quick question regarding the challenge, if you have a male baby, do they take on the following generation as the heir or do you need to have a baby girl also? Thanks!
I don't think it matters depending on gender - I think it's typically the first born rule... unless it's twins and then I flipped a coin or made someone choose for me
I'm so excited! I'm on generation Rose and this is my first time playing through this challenge. My Rose heir getting hot n heavy in the hottub with the girlfriend. He got her pregnant and he is proposing soon but he has to leave her at the altar... so sad! I'm waiting until after she has the baby so I can keep it for his kid. I really hope its a girl because so far both my sims have been guys. First Allen and now Sawyer . :D I really want to post pictures in the forums but can't yet. Soon enough :disappointed:

I also did a bit of a cheat on her relationship. I chose a vampire so I could make sure he stayed alive lol. I did have her master the Vampire lore so she was able to cure him in the end. She has now passed and I am fully on the Orange gen and the pink gen has been born and is now a child.
I love this challenge too! Have fun.
> Wow... Yellow is the definition of myself and yellow is my favourite colour. I need to go calm down..
Well... I was more obsessing over the space in my room
I am almost done with Poppy my orange gen. She just has to finish off her career now(lvl 9). Camellia pink gen is now a teenager and working towards her goals. I haven't moved them out of the tlc apartment because I was tired of moving with the plum gen(5times). They just celebrated feast day. Also I learned the hard way about fighting with the landlord she wouldn't fix a thing after that lol.

You can do it!
You can replace the generation goals with the Base Game version of the challenge: http://ts4notsoberry.blogspot.com/2017/07/not-so-berry-sims-4-base-game-rules.html
You can also look at the goals and replace them with careers/aspirations/traits that you think can work instead.
