Rebuild Edition: A 10 generation legacy centered around building homes from the ground up.
Renew Edition: A 5 Generation legacy centered around remodeling homes in each world.
Starting Out: Rebuild Edition
- Bulldoze ALL lots

- CC and Mods are allowed!
- For each generation build a new house for the heir to live.
You must build or furnish your own home. Unfurnished lots are allowed in this challenge, search the gallery by using the #unfurnished for empty homes.
The challenging part of this challenge is in the building so be creative! Make use of
floor plans to create a special home for your sims. And there is also a wealth of info on the forums found
here.
- Spares are allowed to stay in the town if you like, just be sure you have enough space for each heir and their family to live.
- Community Lots can be added in from the gallery or custom-built by you!
Starting Out: Renew Edition
- Create a single sim or a couple to move into a new world of your choice
- Using freerealestate move your founders to a currently built lot.
- Renovate it using only 20,000 simoleans (plus any additional money you get if you sell any furnishings)
- Select 4 EA made homes that are currently in that world, or a neighborhood, these will be your projects for the next generations.
- Existing walls can not be removed but additions to home and community lots are welcomed!

Additional Notes
- Windenburg, Brindleton Bay, Del Sol Valley, Strangerville, Brindleton Bay Del Sol Valley, Sulani, and Evergreen Harbor are optional worlds to continue the challenge in once you have completed the two base worlds.
- When you download potential mates move them to an empty lot and evict them so that they are shown as "Not In World". Alternatively, they can live in Newcrest. Only family/relatives are allowed to own real estate in your rebuilt world.
- Please do not change the potential mate's traits.
Founder Couplings ***
- Native American | White
- Black | Hispanic
- Asian | Black

*** Mix and match if you'd like these are just recommendations to get you started.
Note:
Try and pick one! Each coupling will be used for at least one of your rotations through the various worlds.
Love is Colorblind
Part of this challenge is about exploring the genetics of the Sims 4 game through Legacy styled gameplay.
- Heirs have to be paired with sims from a predetermined gene pool (this is the genetics part of the challenge)
- Mates (listed below) have to be a different skin tone than the heir (i.e lighter or darker to promote diversity and test the games genetics)
Alternatively you can let your sim choose who they wish to be with from the gene pool based on whims!
Play through generations comparing each generation's heirs and their families. Feel free to share pictures of their homes and day to day lives as well. Traits for each heir sim
must be randomized. There aren't deadlines for completing this and you can play at your own pace. Anyone can join at any time. So don't just lurk, Join!

Hurricane Mortimer caused significant damage to the town of Willow Creek resulting in the damage or destruction of most homes. Surviving citizens either moved to Oasis Springs or Newcrest to start over. Having grown up in Willow Creek you have a lot of memories there. It's where you got your first kiss, learned to drive and met the love of your life. Rather than move, you and your significant other decide to rebuild the town and make it a home for your future generations.

The Situation*
The town of Oasis Springs is hot, really hot! So much so that most of the inhabitants have moved away for the greener pastures of Willow Creek and the relaxed lifestyle of Windenburg. With so many people moving away it has become a ghost town. You and your lover were born and raised in the small town and have decided to stay, for better or for worse.
*For this portion evict current residents only and get started.

The town you live in just isn't what it used to be when you grew up. You'd always hoped to settle down there and have a family but the job market hasn't been so great and all the good jobs are taken. It's been hard to find work to support yourself and your loved ones. Across the bay in Windenburg, San Myshuno, and Strangerville they are offering financial assistance to those who move to these towns, a whopping 20k Simoleans just for building a home and a plot of land to put it on!
Where will you choose to start your new life?

Chapter 82: An Effort to be First
Ivan likes chess ok, but he doesn’t understand why Gareth wants to play with his dad nearly every day. “Someday, you will understand.” Gareth says with a smile.
One night Gareth had a particularly nice evening with his wife. Feeling inspired, he sculpted this masterpiece.
Hamiko was preparing for a special night.
Ivan blew out his candles and had a great party.
He’s not bad!
The party was good.
Ivan still insists on cleaning up. Even at his own party.
Gareth is happy.
The next day he had his Grandfather over.
I do love Greysen. He has about 200 days left.
I saw an alert that the Ivan had acquired the handiness skill. In fear I ran to see what he was doing! I was so scared when I saw it was the stove!! He fixed it without hurting himself though. I was happy.
Hamiko is thinking it might be time for a bigger outdoor table.
Ivan loves the access he suddenly has been granted to his father’s equipment.
Later that day he met a girl at the park. Suddenly he’s interested in girls. She’s a Lawrence so I approve.
She seems to like him too.
After work, Gareth gave his son some mentoring.
Then I have this random picture of Gareth and one of his brothers. I love them.

This lot is by SurfChicCreation I only changed the colors on the top and bottom container and customized the interior. I also added a little roof to the second level terrace and removed some windows from the top container.
On the first floor is the main living space that leads straight into a dining area against the wall.
The dining space is connected to the kitchen and the eating areas combined can seat six.
From the kitchen, guest can access the outdoor patio.
Near the kitchen and dining space is a small bathroom with the necessities.
A very blue kitchen, I don't see Brielle cooking too much.
And before going upstairs to the second floor there is, of course, the pool.
On the second floor, there is seating for more and coverage from the harsh desert sun.
Since Brielle is an artist there is a small but open studio space for her on the second floor.
And directly across from her studio is her master bedroom.
Rebuild | Rebuild Vol. 2
Yay I love the kitchen too I imagine Brielle's favorite color is blue because of the gloomy trait. And yup she is my heir! Even though I hate her trait combination lol.
Rebuild | Rebuild Vol. 2
@OJenn Love that house! It's so unique--definitely Brielle's style, I think. I'm so glad she's heir! Even if you hate her traits, lol. If anything, I think the gloomy trait will work in your favor--supposedly it makes sims more creative.
Hopefully I'll have an update tomorrow or the next day. I've been trying to build a spa/gym for the past two days, because I really need some more community lots in my game, and I want to use the Fitness pack while I have an athletic Sim...but I keep bulldozing and starting over. I have this idea in my head that I want an 'uber modern health club' spa/gym. But I also like the idea of having a really extravagant, Mediterranean architecture 'bath house' spa... But when I start building, a more rustic, natural style keeps coming out, which would fit much better in Granite Falls. So I've spent two days working on a 'Granite Falls Resort' spa instead. At least this gives me an excuse to send them to Granite Falls, right? Any tips to get over my building slump? I'm really stuck on layouts, and I feel like I'm out of creative ideas for decorating...and don't even get me started on landscaping.

Aww Rawla sorry to hear you weren't attached to your family. They definitely had some great moments and of course some great looking kids! Feel free to start over of course- I can't wait to see what you decide in the end.

Chapter 83: Decisions and Growing Up
So @JordanNicoleJJ asked me if I was leaning towards anyone for heir. Lucas is who I’m planning on right now.
Gareth is the sexiest disappointed Dad I’ve ever seen. I can only imagine what Lawrence would have been like!
Tatum is really good friends with Lucas, but sometimes he seems to really like both of his sisters as well.
Both boys are a little bit on the chubby side. There doesn’t seem to be anything you can do about that when they’re kids.
I’m really thinking I need to change my play from long to normal. I’m happy Ivan is so good, but he’s not even my heir!
And Gareth made it to the top of his second career path.
Of course he had to celebrate with his wife in a non-traditional way. I always think it’s funny how the game tells me his thumb prints were wiped and he doesn’t exist anymore, but he has a huge family and everyone knows who he is. He has no fear!
The next day was Reika’s birthday. She got to stay home from school with Dad and he made her a special breakfast.
He just sat and happily watched while she enjoyed them.
BTW he’s painted another masterpiece.
Reika spent some time at her art table after she had breakfast. She wants to paint like her dad does.
Later she chatted with him while he made her a cake.
It’s a really great day for her and she couldn’t be happier.
Later he even played dolls with her.
Finally it was her moment.
Rebuild | Rebuild Vol. 2
Brielle's first visitor the house was family and of course it was her dad, she had always been a daddy's girl. With her father working as a detective now he knew the area she lived in a little too well. And even though he wasn't too fond of the area he and her mom helped her pick out and build the unique place.
With her little brother not being so little anymore and her gloomy trait getting the better of her most days she decided it was time to get out of the house. They checked out the local movie theater that was recently built in town.
The trio hit up the arcade for a bit and hung out.
Her oldest brother Zion is the more talkative of the brothers (he has the evil and gloomy trait) and loves being around his siblings.
Most days she is still gloomy even with her emotional control character value.
Meanwhile, Brielle's uncle Parker has had two boys. (Left)Korbin and (right) Micah and they look a lot like their mom.
With her girls out of the house Raelyn has a lot more time to visit with her good friend. ( I really think I want to limit the number of kids sims can have I miss having family connections and bonding)
And Korbin aged up to a teen he got the Marks nose and lips but his mom's hair color and skin tone.
That's all, for now, Happy Simming!
