Not So Berry Challenge Official RulesNot So Berry Legacy Challenge
Do you like the rainbow? Do you like the idea of playing with berry Sims but hate berry Sims? Do you want to mess around with aspects of the game you’ve never used before? Boy, do I have the challenge for you!
Welcome to the Not So Berry Legacy Challenge, a ten generation legacy with a focus on bright colors and new experiences.
Basic Rules:
Each heir must represent the color of the generation (i.e. hair, makeup, clothing), but brightly colored skin is not necessary (these aren’t actually berry Sims, that’s the joke). Of course, this is optional but a big portion of the fun.
The colors of the spouses don’t matter as they aren’t part of the challenge. Unless otherwise stated you can do whatever you please with them.
Money cheats can be used, but not excessively. Suggestion: use freerealestate for your first home, but no cheats afterward.
You may live wherever you please unless something is specified in the rules of a generation.
Every generation is supposed to complete both the career and aspiration of the heir unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Keep the lifespan on normal.
If you play this challenge and want to share it with us, go ahead and post with #notsoberry so we can see!
My good friend
@alwaysimming and I kind of created this challenge on accident, but I think it turned out pretty great. We wanted to make something that forced us to play with parts of the game we’ve never explored before. Hopefully you’ll have fun too. You can follow our gameplay on
@mintiphresh and
@lea-fey (pronounced “minty fresh” and “leafy”)!

I hope you enjoy it.
Have a good one!

💖The New Neighbor💖
Minty saw a handsome red head moving in across the street. She headed over to introduce herself. Meet Korbin Sweeney. Korbin and Minty talked.
Talking soon turned into flirting.
Flirting lead to their first kiss.
Before work Minty headed over to Korbin's house to give him a Valentines gift. Korbin is a neat sim and loved the handheld vacuum she gave him.
Minty asked Korbin if he would like to be her boyfriend. He said yes!
Minty asked Korbin out on a Valentine's Day date. She took him to Sticky Rice on the Magnolia Promenade.
Korbin and Minty are very smitten with each other.
Since both Minty and Korbin are vegetarians they both enjoyed some sweet and sour eggplant.
Korbin walked Minty to her door. He took her hands in his and said "Minty, I know we haven't known each other long, Korbin paused then blurted out, "I love you!" Minty teared up and said "I love you too!" Then she pulled Korbin close and kissed him.
Korbin called and asked Minty out on a date.

Then she headed to the Broke home and clogged their bathroom sink.
Minty also headed to Vlad's home. Luckily the mean old Vampire was taking a bath.
Minty headed upstairs to the second bathroom and clogged the sink.
Have a good one!
I should probably add a link to the rules on my main post. I like Minty too. When I first made her in CAS I had her wearing more of a lime-green look because I thought Mint was just fancy for Green. Then I looked over all the rules and saw that there is actually a Green Generation. I tried to find some outfits and hair as close to the color Mint as possible. It wasn't easy but I managed to give her a pretty good makeover. The Incheon Arrivals Kit has a lot of nice clothes and sneakers. I highly recommend it.
Thanks for stopping by!
Have a good one!
🐰Easter Day🐰
Happy Easter! Minty and Korbin searched their house for Easter eggs.

Yes, I built the beach wedding venue and I love it. I'm glad to hear your wedding went well. Mine was frustrating but I did manage to get good screenshots that make it look like a wedding that had no problems. To begin with, the Wedding started at 1pm. It took till almost 6pm for all 13 guests plus their wedding party to arrive. The game created "Polished Outfits" were worse that a badly dressed townie, Minty's Person of Honor was wearing a pink blazer with some dark orange pants and bright green heels. Luckily I expected this and gave everyone coming to the wedding an outfit to change them into with MCCC. As far as the actual ceremony I had a very hard time getting Sims invited to the wedding to move once they've taken their seats. I had to reset every sim with MCCC that was in the wedding so that they would walk down the aisle. The only part that worked correctly was when Minty and Korbin walked down the aisle. The officiate stood off to the side of the arch instead of in the center. I couldn't get people to line up for the recessional or blow bubbles. The only sims besides mine who were active in all the wedding events were the Persons of Honor, The wedding took 12 hours to complete because of the glitches and the late arrival of guests so the wedding cake spoiled before they cut it. MCCC saved the wedding again allowing me to make it unspoiled. It worked about as well as I expected and they need to do more bug fixes. Even with all it's frustrations the wedding was still better than the bland boring weddings of the past.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope you had a great weekend.
From what I've read, the "Take your seats" command requires some retuning; I think it's supposed to be "fixed" in the next patch. It sounds like our experiences were similar. I scheduled my wedding on the phone, and everybody showed up at the venue together. I got some people to throw rice, but not at the couple. My cake disappeared after it got cut, but before anyone could eat it. You're the first person I've talked to who's had the officiant actually show up.

💞The Honeymoon💞
Minty and Korbin rented a small house in Mt. Komorebi for a 3 day Honeymoon.
After arriving Minty and Korbin took a look around.
Both decided to relax in the sun.
Both also pranked the other with sunscreen art.
Minty took a selfie with Korbin to commemorate their first pranks as a married couple.
Minty and Korbin decided to hike to the Mountain Cave.
Korbin patiently waited everytime Minty wanted to take a selfie.
They catted about how lovely their wedding was and enjoyed the sights.
Korbin lost his way and Minty didn't notice because she was too busy taking selfies.
They finally arrived at the Mountain Cave.
Korbin and Minty took some selfies in front of the cave.
Then took photos of the shrine.
Minty and Korbin shouted into the cave at the same time.
Then they heard their voices echoing off the cave walls.
Korbin and Minty took a photo together then headed back to their rental.
Minty and Korbin made dinner.
While they ate, Minty brought up the idea of going up to the ski area of Mt. Komorebi. Korbin agreed but only if they take it slow and start on the bunny slopes. Minty agreed.
The sky was crystal clear and a beautiful sunset lit up the sky.
Minty and Korbin made a few runs before they dared each other to go over a jump.
Minty was up first, she got some decent air for a beginner.
She landed it perfectly and ended her run smoothly.
Up next was Korbin. He got a little freaked out mid jump.
He almost fell when he landed.
By the time Korbin reached the end of the run he was in complete control.
Minty suggested that she and Korbin go for a late night swim in the lake.
It was a very romantic swim.
Minty and Korbin returned to their rental and watched a movie together.
Before heading to bed Korbin took Minty's hands in his and told her how lucky he is to have found the love of his life.
Minty gave Korbin a passionate kiss then lead him over to the bed.
They made loving woohoo.
And headed to bed.
Minty and Korbin did some morning yoga.
Then they headed inside and played video games.
Happy New Skill Day! Korbin and Minty taught themselves how to knit.

It was a nice breezy and warm summer day.
Both Minty and Korbin were in awe when they reached the Temple.
They both made wishes.
Minty and Korbin took a selfie together.
On the hike back out Minty lost her way for a second.
Korbin hurt his heel yesterday hiking and Minty was feeling ill so they scheduled a doctor's visit.
Korbin's injury was more serious that originally thought and he need to go to the hospital for surgery.
Minty learned she has a Bee Allergy. Now she carries an EpiPen with her everywhere.
Korbin texted Minty to let her know the situation. Minty played video games to distract her mind from the fact her husband is in surgery.
Korbins surgery went well he just needs to rest and recover.
Korbin returned back to their Honeymoon rental and Minty asked how he felt. Korbin just wanted to go home but didn't want to ruin the Honeymoon. Minty could tell Korbin was in need of some TLC at home so she asked if he would mind going home early. Korbin was grateful for Minty's intuition and shook his head yes.
Minty helped Korbin upstairs so he could take a nap.
Have a good one!
I have to say despite the trouble I had, it was still the best and funnest wedding I've had in the sims. I brought my cake in my inventory because I was afraid it would disappear like yours did. My Officiate's kids were the Flower Pal and Ring Bearer so maybe that's why he showed up?
I'm glad to hear you had a good weekend.
Good luck at work this week!

Minty has 3 EpiPens in her inventory and she is not allowed to go to the basement unless the bee's are calm. I love the Health Redux mod by adeepindigo. I also use her Dental Care mod and Eye Care mod. Have a great day!

Everything is going great.
Minty is now in her 3rd trimester and had to go to an OBGYN Prenatal Appointment.

Minty went into labor. Korbin had a little bit of a prenatal panic.
They headed to the hospital. While Minty was delivering the doctor accidentally took out her heart instead of the baby. Korbin just about lost his mind but the doctor put Minty's heart back where it belongs and proceeded with the delivery.

After their nap, Minty and Korbin headed into the play room to discuss how they are going to handle childcare in the future. Tomorrow the twins will be aging up to toddlers. Minty wants the children to be cared for at home by a nanny or trusted friend so they can attend Preschool. Korbin nixed the nanny idea right away because he doesn't want to leave his kids alone with a stranger. Minty then brought up an idea she got from Maddison Avery. The Avery's own two Servo's named Mary Bottins and Lynn Botvadeer. She needs a place for them stay for about two weeks while her family goes on vacation. Maddison trusts them to stay at the house but worries they will get lonely. She got them when she had her first child to help care for her kids. Korbin thought this sounded like a good solution. Minty will text Maddison in the morning to let her know Mary and Lynn are more than welcome to stay.

@jbadger12
7 days is a short life stage but it takes less than that to get their skills maxed out. Preschool not only helps with skills but also with Character Values as well. I use Education System Bundle by KawaiiStacie. You can also have your children and teens do home schooling. I also use Lifetime Skills by TwistedMexi which helps with skill building. I was originally thinking of naming Garnet, Ruby, but it seemed like to obvious of a choice. I like giving my kids original sounding names. Thanks for stopping by!

🩺Healthcare Checkups🩺
Everyone is taking the morning off for some much needed health care.
Minty, Korbin, Garnet and Ivy all met downstairs then headed to their Dentist appointments.
All four family members have sensitive teeth. The dentist recommended some special toothpaste and mouthwash.
Minty and Garnet are both having some issues with their eyes. Both went to the Optometrist.
Minty has developed Farsightedness as a young adult. She chose to wear contacts.
Garnet learned she has Nearsightedness and actually needs glasses. The glasses she wears now are non-prescription so she decided to go with the same pair but with prescription lenses.
After everyone's appointments were finished, it was time to head to school and work.
Have a good one!
