Rules:
Long or normal life span
Rest of the world (unplayed ect houses) can be aged up or not and filled up as you choose. You could replace them all with some from the gallery for example or stick with what gets spawned.
Choose heir rules based on pinstars legacy rules, if you want to keep score you can also base it off that wonderful system.
Generation one: Mortimer and Bella
Story: You love each other very much but you dont quite see eye to eye all the time. Mortimer would much rather focus on building skills and writing books but he keeps getting dragged into parties his wife throws at the house. She however starts to throw parties in other locations without him. Can these two stay together when their interests take them in separate directions?
•Must complete their aspirations
•Purchase a knight of the octagon table before Mortimer is an elder. (This one is the “will being written” and stored in the household inventory.)
• Have one final kid before Mortimer is an elder. They can adopt after if you want but they have to have one more genetic child.
•Bella can not remarry even after Mortimer passes on.
Generation two: Cassandra, Alexander, and another.
Story: Your parents always seem to be fighting and making up. Disappearing into their own worlds and coming out of it whenever they want. They don’t spend as much time with you kids as you’d like so things are a little gloomy around the house. Cassandra could care less about the rest of the family and decides to work for her own money so that she can leave as soon as she can. (She doesn’t count as first born if that is a requirement for heir, but feel free to play her in her own lot when she moves out as a young adult with only current household age up on, everything else off)
• Cassandra must get a teenage job, and move out as a young adult. You only have her teenage years to get points from her.
• Alexander follows in his father’s footsteps with writing books, but he mainly spends his time on the computer with programming and video gaming.
• Third child focuses on posting gloomy art. Must paint at least one sad painting.
Generation Three: the tech gen
Story: Because of uncle/father Alexander’s tech skills , your heir sim is obsessed with computers.
• Computer whiz aspiration is a requirement to be completed by a generation three sim.
• May only have one genetics blood born child.
• love the color grey, clothes and room must have a grey theme.
• have an excellent relationship with Alexander
Generation four: bringing back the music
Story: This generation still has the gloomy feeling of the past generations and shows it through their music. They want the world to know the feeling of their family, and how it feels to be a lonely only child.
•pipe organ or piano must be maxed as well as violin.
•great aunt Cassandra is a bit of an idol and if shes still alive they must make best of friends with her.
Generation five: the turn around generation
Story: You can’t stand the gloomy atmosphere of your ancestors. When you become a young adult and receive the lot as your heritage you decide to rewrite history. Saving the most important objects of your families history you pay to have the house demolished and rebuilt with a sunny disposition instead.
• personality traits of the heir must have cheerful included.
• rebuild the lot with a much more cheerful look instead of the gloomy look of the original goth home.
•jokestar aspiration must be completed.
• yellow, or orange must be included in the remodel as a heavy influence to show a sunny disposition.
Generation Six: the artist
Story: With such a loving bright environment, you can’t help but be inspired! You feel the creative juices flowing and really get into your artistry. You fall in love with one sim and want to spend the rest of your life with them. You can’t help but find the romance in everything.
• painting or photography must get maxed by this heir.
• grow a lovely garden
• have a soulmate and be a gushy romantic.
• one trait must be romantic.
Generation Seven: it’s in the genes
Story: You can’t help yourself, the gloomy, the jokester, the fascination with the macabre are in your genes. You desire to be mischievous. Pulling pranks on people gives you life and you love the dark colors. Be it dark Royal purple, or a deep navy blue or even black; it doesn’t matter because you love it! And you can’t help yourself when it comes to other people’s things.

• Have a work from home job. (Like critic for example)
Generation Ten:the giver
Story: Gloomy gloomy gloomy! Your family has always been thinking about themselves! They’ve got plenty of money, a beautiful house(especially after that remodel)! But they don’t give to charity. You strive to donate every chance you get to one charity or another and help people in need.

@Karilan If there's any information you want to give me on Sage Reed that would be awesome. I put her in "Rindle Rose" cause it seemed fitting. The lot has yet to be updated yet.
@TheYayToast Any specifics you want to see. I downloaded Rocky Road Rockstar so far, which i have to edit up a bit because I don't have all the stuff packs yet.
Year Long Community Challenge
There isn't anyone else specific I would suggest you grab, I think I'll wait and see if your world fills up with other peoples sims before making any suggestions though. Totally open to a #BoredomCuties world though!
I shall come up with things for them than. Thank you for letting me use them to populate Willow Creek ^^ some may even end up as more than townies.

Her husband, Francis, doesn't have much interest in the Llama-Saur foundations, as they are, after all, only his by marriage. He prefers spending time with his beloved Dobermans: going to dog shows, breeding, grooming, everything.
Florence von Llama-Saur, the eldest daughter (teen), is the perfect daughter and following in her mother's footsteps as a self-assured, driven lady.
Leopold von Llama-Saur (child) doesn't see himself following either of his parents. Instead, he only sees himself in the (very extensive) Llama-Saur libraries.
Beatrice and Walter von Llama-Saur (children) are the rascals of the family. Beatrice is the charmer who smooth talks the pair out of whatever trouble they've gotten into and Walter is the brains behind all of their mischief.
Theodora von Llama-Saur (toddler) is the unexpected (but certainly not unwanted) baby of the family. As the youngest of five kids, she is definitely coddled and given a lot of attention from all her siblings, leading to a bit of separation anxiety and a lot of clinginess.
Zoey von Llama-Saur is Francis' favourite Doberman, and she subsequently is allowed free run of the house and yard and lives with the family full-time.
Gallery ID: TurquoisePapaya
Household Name: von Llama-Saur - Family
Note 1: I use default skin and eye replacements, so even though they are cc free, you will still need to look under 'Include Custom Content'
Note 2: I couldn't bring myself to remove Charlotte and Florence's eyelashes, so they do have one piece of cc, but it won't ~really~ change their look when it's removed and they certainly won't be bald/naked.
Note 3: The household is also tagged with #GloomyLegacy and #MsShadami , as suggested.
Pics and background in the spoiler.
Gallery ID: TurquoisePapaya
Household Name: Garciani
Note: You must have the 'include cc' box checked bc of the default skin and eyes and their eyelashes I didn't remove.
Note 2: I will also upload the original version of this household to the gallery w a list of their cc.
Year Long Community Challenge
I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean about the mod you have.
It most likely won't break if you add cc to your mods folder and the cc most likely won't break because of the mod that's already in there.
Most mods you'll need to take out of the mods folder if you don't want to use it in one save.
Here is all the cc I used on the Graciani girls, if anyone is interested, with links.
Simqt’s meteor eyes heterochromia
Kijiko’s 3d eyelashes v2
Ellesmea’s face and full body moles
Solosims’ jess jeans
Ivkasims’ Seasons cf to af Winter Jacket
Alyssajoltsim’s MAC inspired matte lipstick
Crypticsim’s cupid eyeshadow
blushcat's autumn mattes eyeshadow
Simmingmango’s eyeliner
Default replacements:
Madmono’s knight skin blend
Dustflwr’s meteor eyes

> @Shadami so do all heir have the gloomy trait as it doesn't really say what gen get wath traits
If you would like to have it be a legacy that requires a gloomy trait feel free to! ^^ it's mainly just a half fun legacy and keep score based on pinstars legacy if you would like to.

Regardless I've decided to share those rules in the past, and Gloomy Legacy was one of them that I felt was fun enough to share with others if they wanted to join in. As for my own story, it got put on an accidental hiatus because life just hit me like a truck and I got really busy. Just before I was about to start generation two. I uploaded a ton of cool sims and lots, though I never did quite finish filling out all of Willow Creek, there are still slots open.
I've gone through all my old posts, updated links so that the bottom of each page has a link to the next and previous chapters, as well as a link to the first post for anyone that Is just starting to read the story. It's a bit story, bit game play based. I tend to write everything kind of in the middle of the two.
This is a link to the table of contents on my wordpress for anyone that wants to jump straight to it. There are new banners that I finally got around to making at some point. Though I don't remember exactly when I did that. I think it was the beginning of this year when I was starting to give a makeover to my Wordpress. I got some fun facts out as well in my newest post here.
As for the continuation, it is going to happen incredibly soon! I'm not going to try to continue filling out the rest of the lots in my casting call for generation two unless anyone would really like to have their sims/ builds added.
Just as a quick look so you can see what I have left (though please do go look at all the lovely builds and sims I chose because there are some talented creators I got to use!)
