The Bromance Legacy: A challenge for Best Buds

Objective: Play through ten generations of best bros, living together and creating their legacies side-by-side.

Starting Out: Create two young adult male sims in CAS. They may be made from scratch or cloned as twins of pre-existing sims. The point is they should be free of skills and reward traits. Both sims must have the “bro” trait. Other traits are up to you. Set the relationship to “roommates.”

Housing: Move your sims into any lot they can afford with their starting funds. You may use a pre-existing starter home or build your own on an empty lot.

Aging: Lifespan set to normal. Auto-aging on for active household, other households are up to you.

Setting up the World: You may add or remove houses and public lots as you see fit. Build your own or download from the gallery. It’s up to you! Same goes for households. Re-populate your world however you like.

Requirements: Each generation will have a set of tasks to complete, based around that generation’s theme. The generation ends when a) all requirements are complete and b) the next generation ages up to young adult and moves out.

The order of the generations is up to you. You may switch them around as you see fit!

All Generations must complete these requirements:
  1. Become Best Friends
  2. Participate in the Weekly Bro Tradition
    • This will occur on the same day (or days) each week, so plan jobs and vacation days accordingly. Bros come first! No exceptions!
    • This is a special event for bros only! No wives or children.
  3. Complete an aspiration (one per bro) related to their bro theme.
  4. Complete a collection related to the bro theme.
  5. Complete one special requirement.
  6. Bring in the next generation of bros
    • Try for baby and birth must occur on the same day for both bros.
    • Bros must be male. If one or both babies are female, both couples must try for baby again until two bro-babies are produced.
    • bro-babies receive the bro trait upon aging to teen.

Rules:
  1. No cheats or mods that give advantage
  2. No reverting to earlier saves
  3. No wishing well
  4. No Lottery holiday
  5. No Money Tree aspiration
  6. Choose clubs perks OR lot traits - not both.
