• Partner must leave there partner for Snape
• Must max the Logic and Mixology skills
• Must join the Science career and create all the potions

Gen 2- Luna Lovegood

Growing up in a mansion sure did have its impacts, but the death of your mother caused you to isolate yourself from others.

• Must have mother die whilst a child
• Must max the Painting and Writing skills
• Cannot have any close friends until a Teen
• Can only have two children
• Must join the Writer career and enter the Journalism branch
• Partner must own a pet

Gen 3- Hermione Granger

• Must have buck-teeth from Toddler to Teen
• Must have Genius or Bookworm traits
• Must get an A in grade and high school
• Must own a cat
• Must marry a ginger sim and have only two children

• Must join Business career and reach at least level 6 and enter the Management branch
• You and your partner must have the Insane trait after Gen 4 is a toddler

Gen 4- Neville Longbottom

You hardly know you parents and you live with your lunatic grandmother. However, you hardly see her because you just sit in your room thinking about frogs. You really like frogs. And gardening.

• Must live with grandmother
• Must max the Gardening skill
• Must complete the frog collection
• Must marry as an adult and own a restaurant (can only own restaurant whilst married)

Gen 5- Draco Malfoy

• Have a romantic relationship whilst a teen but marry a different sim
• Must have two close friends as a child and a teen
• One of your close friends must die in a fire

• Must have a butler (if you do not own VG, you can have another sim in the household act as one)
• Must adopt at least two children

Gen 8- Remus Lupin

After being bitten and turned into a supernatural being, you, for some reason, really like plasma. A typo in the coding means that other Sims refer to your 'little secret' as being a Bearwolf!

• Must become a vampire and have the Good Vampire aspiration
• Dark form must consist of the Bear costume (if you do not own OR, you can use the Fruit Bear outfit or the Raccoon outfit from CL)
• Must drink at least one alcoholic drink per night, failing to do so means you must turn a sim into a vampire
• Can only marry as an adult or over and partner must have a non-natural hair colour and be the life stage lower

Gen 9- Harry Potter

The death of your parents really hit you hard. You grew up under the stairs but just want one thing in life. Freedom. You want to fly free like an owl, or even a phoenix.

• Must join the Secret Agent career and enter the Diamond Agent branch.
• Must own a white pet and witnesss her death.

    I might want to point out a little issue with Gen 1- Servus Snape never lived in a mansion-he's lived in the "poor" area of Cokesworth on "Spinner's End" street not too far away from where the Evans girls (Lilly and Petunia) lived as children.

    The rule: '• First house must have the Needs TLC lot trait' reflects Spinner's End. I added the mansion rule to give it more of a challenge.

    I'm looking for something new to try, so I'm definitely going to give this a try. I'm a huge Harry Potter fan and I think this might be fun.

    xD Especially the 'bear-wolf' part sounded hilarious to me.

    There are a few questions about your challenge.
    Gen 1- Serverus Snape
    First house must have the Needs TLC lot trait
    This is a hidden trait of sorts found only in a Maxis made apartment. It cannot be applied to other lots by the player.
    Must woo and have child(ren) with a ginger married sim
    If no Sim meets this criteria can a Sim be changed to a ginger?
    Looks like a fun theme for a challenge.
    There are a few other points that piqueue my curiosity but my main questions are these.
    How far have you gotten while playing this challenge?
    Were you able to achieve all the goals for each generation?
    Are all the generations supposed to be connected to the previous ones? That may seem like a strange question but for example Gen 4- Neville Longbottom says
    You hardly know you parents and you live with your lunatic grandmother.
    Does that mean his grandmother [Gen 2- Luna Lovegood] would need the insane trait and that he would not live with [Gen 3- Hermione Granger] his Mother?

    1. I notice this and applied this rule as the character lives in a poor area of England. This rule does not apply to the whole of the generation, only their first house/apartment. They can move out later.
    2. Eliza Pancakes meets this requirement, she is also a Base Game sim so all players can have her
    3. Gen. 2 does not require the insane trait and Gen. 4 would not live with his mother.

    Sadly it is, however you can ignore this rule if you do not own City Living.

    lmao at some of the requirements:

    "• Must woo and have child(ren) with a ginger married sim"

    Crying at some others:

    "• Must own a white pet and witnesss her death."

    Too soon, too soon!

    (I love the idea of this challenge, maybe I'll try it out once I'm done with my current challenge)

    Ah, read over these.

    I am currently still on Gen. 1. I have fulfilled the first three requirements and am on level 6(?) of the scientist career. I haven't played the save in a while.

    Why do some of the generations have rules that involve sims I wouldn't be playing if I did this challenge? For example, in Gen 9, my heir's friends have to marry each other. I wouldn't be playing the friends, so I would need to switch households to get the relationship up high enough for a marriage to happen, or I would need to cheat, which is not usually allowed in Legacy challenges. I have never done a legacy challenge before, so I could be mistaken, but I thought the rules were only supposed to focus on what the heir is supposed/allowed to do?

    As the creator of the challenge, I allow cheating only for this rule as it has no real relation towards the heir.

    You can skip the challenge requirements that include those packs. As Gen 8 uses Vampires mainly, I would recommend doing the alternate gen here
