As many of you know, I’m updating my Extended Not So Berry and my Timeline Adventure … at the same time. Probably not the best way to go about it, but that’s okay… it’s how I’m doing it anyway. I fully expect the ENSB to be finished first, because it takes less time to update overall.
>> Currently, the ENSB is FULLY updated and ready to play through generation 15! <<
By the end of today’s Co-Working on Twitch (https://twitch.tv/illusorythrall if you wanna join the fun!), I hope to have it complete through Generation 20 and ready for the next ten to be added.
This one is a far more complex and difficult challenge to update. It takes a TON of behind the scenes work to put this challenge together and is by far and away the most complex challenge to update that I have. But, as you know, it’s also my “baby.” It’s the challenge I love the most out of ALL of my challenges. It’s the one that I love to play, the one I think about constantly, and am always coming up with new ideas for. Hence, it goes to the top of my priority list no matter what anyone else’s priorities are.
Currently: the Main page, and the first page of Generations (Gens 1-5) are both completely done. After getting the ENSB to Gen 20, my NEXT priority is to get Gens 6-10 completed for Timeline and ready to play. Hopefully, I’ll be able to start making inroads on that task today, too! In any case, keep an eye on the main page, the changelog at the bottom will tell you when generations are ready to be played.
For those of you who are planning to start the Timeline Adventure soon (I know there’s a whole bunch of us – including me – planning on starting a brand-new playthrough to go with the new 2.0 rules…
>> The first five generations are absolutely ready to play at this time!! <<
If you are playing, and you get to a point where I haven’t updated yet, you have two choices:
Pause playing until I update
Continue play with the next generation from Version 1.0 (which is still viable, and on the website).
Be aware, should you choose this … you will be missing some more added generations and better storylines that ARE coming in the next couple of weeks. (And yes, that’s definite!)
Final note: I have been informed of some … er… Creator Network news that I cannot share (yet – August 26th cannot come soon enough!!) that WILL be affecting the currently planned Timeline Generation set-up. At this time, the plan is to add a gen in before the planned gen 9 with the coming stuff (so, in other words, you are STILL safe to start play, because hopefully you won’t be all the way to that gen before said upcoming stuff comes out. (… if you’re wondering about this affecting NSB, it will, but I add generations for ENSB at the END of the challenge, not by where in history they fit the best…)
Other Challenges:
Yes, they’re on the list!! Currently my priority is these two really big challenges. Then my priority list is as follows: (in order)
Misery2Mansions (update/finishing Gens 5-10)
SuperSim Spreadsheet update
Save file Spreadsheet update
Cheat sheet update
Mermaid Legacy re-write/update
(Will be called the “Family Tides Legacy” and will also include a version with mods!)
Master Simmer update
Hard Mode Decades update
Lunar Lineage Update
Apartment Switch Update
Refresh 100DayCreativity
Refresh Build-A-Pack
Refresh Flipping Lots
Refresh/Rewrite Winchester House
REDO my Plants Reference Sheet
Update Interactive Asylum/Write solo mode for it
On a Collab front, I have three “Challenge”-ing projects underway: (not including the Tracker partnership with Calendula Petals)
“Dance With Death” Challenge (will be a shorter challenge, dealing with the Chased by Death trait)
A Faerie Legacy Challenge (will hopefully be around 10 generations like a typical Legacy)
A Vampire Legacy Challenge (will also be a 10-gen challenge but will include the other occults and have LOTS of Drama!)
Also, I have ideas and plans for SEVERAL coming challenges that I will be working on AFTER the updates are complete! This list is NOT in order and will obviously depend heavily on inspiration and levels of creativity at any given time.
“SuperSim Plus Challenge” – this will be a challenge that is, basically, an “upgrade” on the SuperSim idea. For this, you will be tasked with doing EVERYTHING in the game (except perhaps the 100-gen legacy achieve. lol). With ONE SIM. Is it possible? Heck, I guess we’ll see!!! (Planning a YT playthrough for this one)
“Old West Decades Challenge Add-On” – I want to write an update for my Hard Mode Decades challenge that starts in 1850 instead of 1890 and revolves around the Old West… and Chestnut Ridge’s lovely styling. I think it would be SUPER fun! (Also planning a YT playthrough for this one)
“Thrall’s Build-A-World Challenge” – yep, this one has already been updated by some other folks. But to be honest, I love the idea of this challenge, and I’ve already got a massive planning document for this huge challenge in the works. Because I haz ideas. And they don’t necessarily mesh with the idea other creators have had.
“An ImPACKtful Journey” – I don’t know whether to really call this one a challenge. Remember those Choose-Your-Own Adventure (CYOA) stories from when you were little? For those of us who are older, remember those text-based Adventure games? Well, this is going to be in that same spirit. I want it to FEEL fully like you are reading a story, instead of just playing a challenge. There will be a web component, and you will be deciding the path of your characters, every playthrough will be different. You’ll read a bit of story, make some choices, then be given some (smallish) goals for your Sims. Once you’ve checked those goals off, you return to the web story and keep going. For those of you interested, here’s a non-interactive version of the beginning of the story:
For those of you interested, CLICK HERE for a non-interactive version of the beginning of the story:
You are standing at the end of a road before a small brick building. Around you is a forest. A small stream flows out of the building and down a gully. You have no memory of how you got here, either. Staring blankly at the building, you probe your head for injuries, but none seem to exist. Perplexed, you try to remember anything. Wait. Your name. You remember that. And for some reason, you still remember things you like and don’t like. But you have no idea why you liked them. You search for reason, striving to hold down the panic bubbling in your chest. Turning around, you see an old mailbox. Curiously, you open it, and – in shock – you find a yellowed envelope inside. WITH YOUR NAME ON IT. Gulping, you open the envelope carefully so as not to damage it. You slowly, shakily, open the single sheet of paper, only to squeal as a key falls out of the paper and clinks on the gravel driveway. After absently picking up the key and shoving it back into the envelope, you finally get to read the letter.
“I’M SORRY. I doubt you’ll ever remember me… or where you’ve been. And for that I’m sorry. However, I have tried to do what I can for you. This land. This house. They are now legally yours. You can start over. I know you’ve always loved painting. Tomorrow, you will get an opportunity to do something that will satisfy the urge to create. Meanwhile, there is a fishing rod in the shed behind your house, and a pond of fish near that. I suggest you catch something to eat. You have running water and electricity.. although the house may be in need of some repairs, and the pantry and fridge are bare. I suppose you’ll figure that out, too. Enjoy your new home. Your new life. And again…. I’m sorry.”
Confused, you check the envelope for anything else other than the key. It’s frustratingly empty. Your head whirling, but finding not answers, you sigh, pocket the key and turn around again, your stomach growling. Dinner seemed like as good a place to start as any. And fish seemed like the best option since you were clearly out of money and food.
The shed did, indeed, have a fishing rod. A bright, shiny green one that stuck out like a neon light against the dust of the shed. With a clean metal tackle box beside it and some suspiciously fresh tracks leading up to where it was placed. Glancing around nervously, you assure yourself you are, indeed, alone. There was no-one there.
After your short, paranoid search, you end up back in the middle of the tiny shed. Finally resigned to your new reality, you reach down, grab the jar of bait, and head to the little fishing pond. Hopefully this fishing thing wouldn’t be too hard… Right??
A Sims Medieval Challenge – based on trying to finish the game, basically. Not necessarily with one family.
A Spellcaster Legacy
A Ghost-focused challenge/ Legacy
A PlantSim Legacy – (This one will require mods, because Sims 4 PlantSims are not a permanent life state.)
A Servo Challenge
An Alien Challenge
A “Sims Scenarios” Challenge – possibly even complete with a base-game, ready-to-play save file!!
I also have an idea floating around for a challenge based on ALL the occults – and the way they interact in the game.
Beyond that, I also have some changes coming to the website – mainly, I will be making every attempt to fix all of the Stories pages so they’re readable. Currently, the ONLY one that is fully readable is “Adventures With Jaz”. Fixing will happen sooner rather than later on some of the others, as some are going to be coming to either my Youtube Channel – or to my Twitch channel! YES!!! THAT MEANS my STORYTELLING is COMING to TWITCH! So… stay tuned for that. Another thing on my list is to finally flesh out my Tools & Tricks section – starting with finishing the guides for Collectibles in Sims 4.
Welcome to the Timeline Adventure! On this page, you will find the first five generations of the full 2.0 version of this challenge. Make sure to click on the tabs below each generation’s header so that you know all that you need to know to complete the generation! That being said, again, welcome… and Have FUN!
Generation One: A Fruitful Beginning
(10000 BC- 3000 BC)
The Stone Age marks the final phase of prehistoric toolmaking, when humans crafted increasingly sophisticated implements from flint and other stones. During this period, communities gradually shifted from nomadic hunting and gathering toward settled agriculture, domesticating plants and animals and clearing land for crops. Innovations such as polished axes, grinding stones, and early pottery appeared, transforming daily life and enabling the growth of permanent villages.
On a chain of lush tropical islands shadowed by a rumbling volcano, an aging tribal elder makes a desperate plea. Two young tribe members are chosen for their strength, their fertility, and their skills to ensure the survival of their people. The fertile soil—dark and rich from the mountain’s fire—feeds the woman's gardens of roots, fruits, and healing herbs, which she tends with care and the Island Spirit's blessing. The man spends his days fishing in turquoise waters, casting nets beyond the reefs and returning with stories of sharks, storms, and spirits seen in the waves. At night, the volcano’s red glow paints the horizon, a constant reminder of both destruction and renewal. The villagers offer gifts to its fiery heart, believing it watches over birth and death alike. Each child of the couple is welcomed with dances under the ash-streaked sky, their laughter and prayers for plenty mingling with the ocean wind. Over time, the couple's growing family becomes a living promise that even beneath the shadow of fire, life would take root and rise again.

No Adoption or Science Babies
No pregnancy tests, either. (OR BIRTHDAY CAKES!)
Children & Child Goals:
Have as many children as possible. The goal is to populate the world.
No School for children or teens - you must cancel out this interaction to keep them at home, or have them quit school with MC Command Center!
Teens are old enough to move out to another lot in Sulani if you wish - build them a small hut to live in there.
Choosing an Heir:
This is entirely up to you - heir can be of any gender you wish - and does NOT have to be the first-born child!
Your Heir must take these traits:
(order is up to you!)
Plant Lover
Loner
Non-Committal
Your Heir's Aspiration:
Nature Nomad
Other Goals:
Save as much money as possible from your skills.
The founding sims must die when the heir is a teenager, and the next generation starts right after you've managed to kill your founders. Which child is heir, however, is your choice - so you can wait as long as you want, saving money for the next home before moving. Also, killing your founders should be done as quickly as possible so you have enough time as a teenager to get your next goals done.
Have a teenaged sibling stay behind with the rest of your siblings so they will be looked after.
When your heir leaves to start the next generation, they must take their parents' graves/urns with them.
During the early Bronze Age, nomadic pastoralists such as the Yamnaya roamed the Pontic-Caspian steppe in seasonal circuits, driving herds of cattle, sheep, and goats to fresh pastures. Their mastery of horse domestication and the invention of the spoked-wheel wagon around 3500 BC granted them unparalleled mobility, enabling rapid migrations and the forging of long-distance trade links. Burial mounds (kurgans) yield finely wrought bronze weapons, tools, and ornaments, testifying to sophisticated metallurgy and ceremonial practices. Flexible clan-based social structures allowed these groups to adapt swiftly to changing environments, while their movements helped spread languages, technologies, and genetic lineages across Eurasia.
When tragedy struck your family just as you completed your coming-of-age rituals... you could think of no other recourse but to run. You couldn't stand to look at the rest of your family, and feel the weight of the guilt of being (you feel) the cause of their demise. So, you ran. You CLAIM it was to follow in your parent's footsteps, to find a place for your children to grow and prosper... but really, it was because you just couldn't stand to stay. You take your parent's bones, so you can sanctify whatever home you find. However, you didn't expect how hard it was going to be. Being on your own. Being at the mercy of the elements. You lose your nerve when you find a friendly village who offer to train you to hunt. You fall in love... but they are unattainable, because they're already spoken for. Having learned to fend for yourself better, your resolve hardens. You must find a home for yourself. And you don't need anyone to help. So you begin traveling again. The miles shape you. You do find someone. But they want nothing to do with your quest. So you will raise your child alone. When they're old enough, you travel again. Long miles pass. Eventually, you do find the right place. You can feel it, even if your child cannot. Here. Here is where the legacy begins.
For your final lot (the one you actually move to):
Great Soil
Homey
Lot Challenges:
Off The Grid (for ALL lots)
Quake Zone (add this for your final lot only!)
Other Sims and Lots:
You may make as many sims as you'd like to act as other Sims your Sim meets along their journey, and weave them into your story any way you wish. You must, however, make sure each sim you add has a home in the neighborhood that your sim is currently staying in for the week you want to introduce the character in.
Reminder: Cannot talk to people who are not in your CURRENT neighborhood. If you want to see someone in another neighborhood, you'll have to travel to them (and have a story reason for doing so?).
Home Lot Building Goals:
Phase One:
Must pick smallest lot available in Sulani (Lani St. Taz area), and NOTHING that isn't landscaping, pond or ocean stuff, or a pee bush & mailbox (cc mailboxes encouraged!) can be on your lot. (You MAY use the Outdoor retreat portable shower if you're not using CC, or find a portable off-the-grid CC shower that will work. Your main sim is NOT allowed to use toilets or bathtubs at any time.)
You are NOT living here for more than your first week!
All landscaping is permitted - that includes ponds.
Phase Two:
Once you start traveling, You MAY add pee bushes to every lot you stay on as well as landscaping &/or pools, but NO structures of any kind! - only portable & OFF THE GRID items can be taken with you.
In other words, if you can't put it in your sims' inventory, you can't take it.
Phase Three:
Seven days into your Young Adult life, your sim finds a friendly village in Gibbi Point, who offer to teach your main sim to hunt. They even have a spare hut you can live in. Build a village lot, either as a residential, or a residential rental. Make sure there is a hut for your main sim, as well as activities (i.e. Archery area). You will have this time to learn Archery, and no more (since targets cannot be moved to inventory!).
You may also build up the rest of that neighborhood with more villagers and travel to visit with them as well.
Phase Four:
Two weeks after your main sim becomes an adult, you have a two week period in which to get your heir and raise it to a toddler. During this time, you may set up a temporary camp of sorts wherever you choose in the world, but you are only allowed a rudimentary hut and the barest minimum of items to survive.
When Baby is born, you may cheat to edit the lot you are CURRENTLY squatting on to include the bassinet, crib, and old-fashioned bathtub. Nothing else. You are also given a one-week reprieve from moving and may set up a small "camp" here for the rest of your time here.
Phase Five:
After the child is a toddler, you will need to monitor the hygiene meter for the child, and once or twice a week, cheat to place a bathtub to clean up the child.
Phase Six:
Finally, once you are an Elder and settle down in StranerVille, you MAY build a full hut with a pond - but you CANNOT build a bathtub or toilet unless you have the handiness to do so!
Holidays:
(none!)
Travel Rules:
Every Sim Week you must "camp" in a different neighborhood around the game world.
Yes, you can repeat neighborhoods, but not right after one another.
Yes, that means that when you have the child as an Adult, you MUST take the child with you everywhere.
HOW THIS WORKS: Every week on Sunday at 6AM you must "pack up camp" (pick up your belongings) and leave for another blank lot in a Different World, Different Neighborhood. You may pick them in any way you'd like, in fact you could just pick 2-4 different ones and move around as the seasons pass. This is simulating the intense journey you are taking from the islands into the desert lands of "Northern Sim-frica" (LOL). Once you get to your new lot, you can set up camp again, PAUSE the game, SAVE the game, go into build mode to put some plant-life and a pee bush around, and that sort of thing.
The only worlds that are OFF LIMITS for this moving journey are: Batuu, StrangerVille (until the end), Gibbi Point (excpet for the time in the Village), Granite Falls, and Selvadorada
When you are an elder, you may finally settle down In the StrangerVille neighborhood with your kid.
Communication Rules:
You may not use the phones to call someone who IS NOT in your neighborhood. i.e. either actually wandering past your lot or living in the same neighborhood.
If you wish to visit with someone living in another neighborhood, you must travel to them (and have a story reason to do so!).
NO ACCEPTING FAMILY CALLS AND VISITS from elsewhere in the world, and you may only talk to sims in the neighborhood you are currently living in.
Take these traits:
Plant Lover
Loner
Non-Committal
Aspirations to Complete:
Nature Nomad
Friend of the World
Career & Education Goals:
Education: None
Career:None - you live off the land and roam around the world
Skills to Master:
Natural Living
Archery
Charisma
Fishing
Two other Skills of your choice to max.
Cannot Garden- you move too much.
Most skills will be super hard to level under the conditions in this generation, except for while you're living at the village, so take full advantage of this time.
Parenting may be a good choice for one of these skills. Most of this generation is about surviving and finding a place for your child to begin their family on.
Lifestyles to Get:
(none)
Reward Traits to Buy:
Storm Chaser (because your sim "just gets used to it")
Waterproof (because your sim "just gets used to it")
No other traits may be bought!
Finding a Spouse:
-NONE- (The partner you pick does not wish to remain with you and your nomadic loner ways)
Spouse Goals:
YOU CANNOT MARRY during this generation! In fact, the only way you can have another sim move in other than your child is if your heir is a male, you can move the mother of your child in while they're pregnant, and they may stay until the child is a Toddler. to care for the babe.
You cannot have a child until the third week of being an adult. (NOT Young Adult!) In other words, you must have traveled twice as an Adult before you can look for a temporary mate. And then - you only have one week to find this mate, the mother must either be pregnant or possibly pregnant by the end of week 3 as an adult.
ONLY TRY FOR BABY! (No adopt or science baby, or regular woohoo, and no pregnancy tests)
Children & Child Goals:
Have only one child - unless you have twins or triplets (if you have multiples, you must choose just one as heir)
No School for children or teens - you must cancel out this interaction to keep them at home, or have them quit school with MC Command Center!
Once you have the baby, I don't think you can easily travel to new lots to "squat" with the baby (and possibly partner to feed baby) until the baby is a Toddler, so you'll have a short reprieve from moving around.
IN OTHER WORDS: after the baby is born, you will be able to skip your next Sunday move.
Once they are a toddler, you will need to invest in portable toddler care items - a sleeping bag, toys, potty, etc, because you will be again forced to start moving every Sunday 6AM again.
No BIRTHDAY CAKES! - you will be waiting until your sims age up on their own. Yep, they'll be sad. Sorry.
Choosing an Heir:
This should be decided for you as you'll have only one child, but if there's multiples, you must choose only one, using any criteria you can come up with.
Your Heir must take these traits:
(order is up to you!)
Perfectionist
Outgoing
Creative
Your Heir's Aspiration:
The Curator
Other Goals:
Buy a tent, campfire, & Sulani Pit Grill ASAP. You will need them.
You must carry the founder's graves with you wherever you go. These will be passed down to your heir.
YOU MAY adopt a dog (think wolf) to be your traveling companion. I would suggest they at least have "Loyal" for one of their traits.
When you are an Elder, you may finally settle down In the StrangerVille neighborhood with your kid.
When the child reaches their teens, your main sim must move back to Sulani, leaving the heir with the graves.
At this time, The heir may actually "bury" the graves on their property. (No Graveyards yet!)
IF YOU HAD MULTIPLES, you must choose ONE to be an heir, the other ones can either move to a different lot when this part of the generation ends, or back to Sulani with the parent.
Collections to Complete:
Fossils (curious things they are..)
Feathers (if you adopted a dog)
Seashells (must be gotten in your first week in Sulani)
Frogs
Fish
Game Unlocks After This Gen:
Sheep, Goats, Rabbits, Birds, Foxes - Unlocked after Generation 2
Generation Three Pt 1: Building the First Civilization
(2350 BC- 1786 BC)
Between 2350 BC and 1786 BC, Mesopotamian civilization flourished under powerful empires like the Akkadians and later the Babylonians, who unified city-states and expanded territorial control. Kings such as Sargon of Akkad and Hammurabi established centralized governments, codified laws, and promoted monumental architecture, including ziggurats and palaces. Advances in astronomy, mathematics, and writing (cuneiform) supported a thriving urban culture rooted in trade, agriculture, and deeply structured religious life.
Your parent survived tragedy, and had the guts to set out on their own looking for a better life for their future family. The ancestor's bones have been brought along, so that they may be placed in a place of honor in this new home. You remember traveling the worlds with your parent, toddling along as they scrabbled a hard existence just for survival. Eventually, your parent settled in this desert. Why, you couldn't say. But they were very insistent that this is where you would start the legacy you would create. You begin carving, building furniture, making crude pottery, and selling what you make for a profit. Soon, however, you realize this small village holds little for you, and it is time to leave your ghosts behind. Literally.
Have fun making some townies - especially some (or one) that has an eligible bachelor or bachelorette (teen of opposite sex from your heir) to get to know, woo, and eventually marry when you're allowed to after Part 1
Reminder: Cannot talk to people who are not in your CURRENT neighborhood. If you want to see someone in another neighborhood, you'll have to travel to them (and have a story reason for doing so?).
Home Lot Building Goals:
You take over your parent's hut as a teen, since your parent immediately moves back to their home of Sulani (now that they've found what they consider a perfect home for you).
At this point, feel free to edit your world, and add in some Early-civ-appropriate huts and some townies so you can have people to interact with.
Plumbing is a no-no until you have Handiness maxed, so keeping the portable shower may be in your best interests.
Also - ONLY wood, thatch-looking textures, or mud bricks for the home, no stone!
Holidays:
Every Sunday, you must go to the temple to leave offerings to the gods
(Use seasons calendar & create holiday on every sunday with the attend holiday ceremony tradition)
Travel Rules:
Can ONLY Visit Parks, Beaches and Pool Lots (hot springs?) in StrangerVille - no travel to other worlds!
If you have made other sims and built them homes, you MAY visit them at their lots.
NO visiting empty lots in the world.
Communication Rules:
You may not use the phones to call someone who IS NOT in your neighborhood. i.e. either actually wandering past your lot or living in the same neighborhood.
If you wish to visit with someone living in another neighborhood, you must travel to them (and have a story reason to do so!).
NO ACCEPTING FAMILY CALLS AND VISITS from elsewhere in the world, and you may only talk to sims in the neighborhood you are currently living in.
Take these traits:
Perfectionist
Outgoing
Creative
Aspirations to Complete:
The Curator
(Do NOT have to finish this one, but if you feel up to the challenge, go for it!)

Skills to Master:
Handiness
Pottery
Lifestyles to Get:
(none)
Reward Traits to Buy:
-none- (NO buying traits in this generation!)

(This partner MAY be created by you, or downloaded, or found in game and made over.. Your choice.)
Children & Child Goals:
Zero kids
(You're only a teenager!)
NO SCHOOL
Choosing an Heir:
NO HEIRS!

Your Heir must take these traits:

Your Heir's Aspiration:

Other Goals:
You must make an attempt to keep track of your earnings - This stage WILL NOT end until you have sold a minimum of 30,000 worth of Handiness and/or Pottery created objects AND you are a Young Adult (not one or the other).
(You may use a Small Business to do this, but not a Retail Store!)
As soon as BOTH goals are complete, two things can happen.
First, you may now set up a graveyard somewhere in Oasis Springs (preferably the 40 by 30 in the commercial district), and bury your ancestors' bones there.
Second, you move to the next part of this generation!
Residential Lot Unlocks After This Gen:
Residential Rental Lot - Unlocked after Generation 3 Pt 1 (but I wouldn't suggest using it for your main family unless you HAVE to for the gen... it's just so buggy right now!!)
Apartments - Unlocked after Generation 3 Pt 1 (Must be in your current world to add Townies to. Must be in the designated neighborhood for that generation to actually have your main family live in it.)
Commercial Lot Unlocks After This Gen:
Generic - Unlocked after Generation 3 Pt 1
Wedding Venue - Unlocked after Generation 3 Pt 1
(From this point on in the challenge, it is recommended to have at least one venue that will work for this in your world for every generation.)
Graveyard - Unlocked after Generation 3 Pt 1
(I highly recommend creating one of these in the world.-Perhaps in Magnolia Promenade?- That way, just like the Family Museum you have, you can "collect" all your family graves here.)
Game Unlocks After This Gen:
Marriage - Unlocked after Generation 3 Pt 1
School for Child-aged Boys - Unlocked after Generation 3 Pt 1
Pregnancy Tests - Unlocked after Generation 3 Pt 1 (apparently peeing on a certain kind of crop in a bag would make it change colors if you were pregnant? Sounds inaccurate, but your choice here. Modern tests were invented in 1920 - so after Generation 23 Pt 2)
Horses, Cats, Cows - Unlocked after Generation 3 Pt 1
In the New Kingdom of Egypt, healers held esteemed roles as both medical practitioners and spiritual intermediaries. They combined practical treatments—like herbal remedies, surgery, and wound care—with magical incantations and rituals, believing that illness could stem from both physical and supernatural causes. Many healers were priests or scribes trained in temple schools, and they often consulted medical texts such as the Ebers Papyrus, which detailed hundreds of remedies and spells.
When you became a young adult, you moved from your small village to a land more populated, (and less seismically unstable!) and tried to find a place for yourself in this world. You started a family and proceeded to make a name for yourself here, not as a carpenter, but instead establishing your family as the local healers, known for your plants and your knowledge. As your name begins to be more widely known, you expand your business, and clientele, hoping to one day even serve the Pharoah!
Again, make as many sims as you like, with whatever story you want. You can even make a high priest or pharaoh character if you want and weave them into your story!
Granite Falls is used for this generation ONLY:
Make sure you have a National park for early civ appropriate - I have one listed below for download (CC free).
You will also need a family campground in the Rental area of Granite Falls - again, I have one listed below for download (CC Free).
The temple you have built for last generation can be visited and decorated for the Egyptian time period, but it wasn’t a place for the “masses” to worship, but rather a “home” for the gods. Otherwise, add some other families and perhaps a Pool or Park for getting together in your world.
Reminder: Cannot talk to people who are not in your CURRENT neighborhood. If you want to see someone in another neighborhood, you'll have to travel to them (and have a story reason for doing so?).
Home Lot Building Goals:
My suggestion would be to start out this part of the generation on the smaller of the two lots available to you, then, once you feel the family has grown enough (and saved enough money) to support a larger lot, you could move to the bigger one.
(It is also completely possible to just stay on the smaller lot the whole time!)
ALSO: at this time, stone or brick (all brick, not just mud brick) construction is now allowed, as well as rudimentary bathrooms.
Holidays:
None – worship the many deities from home.
Having a temple/Wedding Venue lot might be a good idea, though, since Weddings are now unlocked!
Travel Rules:
Can ONLY Visit Parks, Beaches Pool Lots (hot springs?), Graveyards, Generic, or Wedding Venues in StrangerVille - no travel to other worlds!
EXCEPTION FOR THIS GEN ONLY:
You will be traveling to Granite Falls for this generation.
If you have made other sims and built them homes, you MAY visit them at their lots.
NO visiting empty lots in the world.
Communication Rules:
You may not use the phones to call someone who IS NOT in your neighborhood. i.e. either actually wandering past your lot or living in the same neighborhood.
If you wish to visit with someone living in another neighborhood, you must travel to them (and have a story reason to do so!).
NO ACCEPTING FAMILY CALLS AND VISITS from elsewhere in the world, and you may only talk to sims in the neighborhood you are currently living in.
Take these traits:
Perfectionist
Outgoing
Creative
Aspirations to Complete:
Outdoor Enthusiast
Career & Education Goals:
Education: None
Career:Sales at Tables
(yes, this can be a small business - but not a full retail store!)
Skills to Master:
Cooking
Gardening
Wellness
Herbalism

Lifestyles to Get:
(none)
Reward Traits to Buy:
-none- (NO buying traits in this generation!)
Finding a Spouse:
Partner yes, spouse optional
(Can be CAS created, downloaded, or found in game)
Also: Weddings are now allowed!!
Spouse Goals:
As soon as this generation starts, you are allowed to (finally) marry your chosen partner and move them with you to your new home. If you choose, however, you can elect to just remain partners (i.e. marriage is NOT required)
IF YOU DO MARRY - spouses are not allowed to bring in any money, you must cheat any money they bring in away!!
(TRY FOR BABY ONLY, no adopt, science baby or regular woohoo)
Children & Child Goals:
Must have at least two children with your partner.
Birthday cakes, however, are now allowed from this generation on!(if you're not using mods, be aware that there is no way to cook them until off the grid goes away, so that's why I recommend the medieval cooking mod, there is a Sponge Cake under "Puddings" that can be used as a birthday cake!)
No School for ALL teens and girls of any age – you must cancel out this interaction to keep them at home.
Child Boys, however, are allowed to attend school starting in this generation.
(Girls were taught at home by their mothers.)
Teens are still able to move out on their own if they choose once they're old enough.
Choosing an Heir:
Heir gender doesn't matter, and you may pick any of your children to be heir.
Your Heir must take these traits:
Because there are two options for the next generation, you must decide your heir's personality now:
If you're going to the "evil" side ("Emotion Thief") your heir's traits will be:
Disruptive
Mean
Non-Committal
If you go to the "good" side ("Flying Solo") your heir's traits will be:
Mystical
Plant Lover
Unflirty
Your Heir's Aspiration:
No matter which way you pick, your aspiration will be:
Fairy Stories
Other Goals:
Optional: Move in a sim of your choice to be your servant, and build them a servants’ quarters on your lot
(perhaps once you move to the bigger lot - if you do?)
As soon as all of your goals are complete, AND your chosen heir is a Young Adult, the generation ends.
Collections To Complete:
Insects
Game Unlocks After This Gen:
Must be Young Adult to move out - Unlocked after Generation 3 Pt 2
(Note: there are still generations to come that you will move at as a Teen, but those will be specifically marked as such!)
Pick EITHER A or B, not both! Once you finish your chosen path, move on to Generation Five!
Generation Four A: Emotion Thief
(500 BC- 43 AD)
In Iron Age Celtic societies, some unscrupulous druids lurked behind tribal leaders as sinister spiritual and intellectual arbiters, their whispered counsel guiding decisions with chilling precision. They guarded their arcane lore of law, ritual, and dark ceremonies in secret groves, presiding over sacrifices and enforcing tribal will with druidic judgment that brooked no dissent. Their mastery of herbal poisons, celestial omens, and ancestral curses made them feared power brokers, binding communities through awe, superstition, and the threat of otherworldly retribution.
You were brought up to be a healer. But that didn't appeal to you. Instead, you wanted to cause as much trouble as you possibly could. Your family's disapproval of this thinking led you to leave home as quickly as you could. Eventually, you found a home among the trees of the "Emerald Isles" with a Master Druid of a local Celtic Tribe. He, alone, seems to approve of your mindset, and encourages you to bcome a fairy, too, so that you can take your pranks to the "next level". And so you do. You begin learning to control people's emotions, and even STEAL them. Things couldn't be better. Except for that one cute fairy who disapproves. You target them specifically, until, one night, the unthinkable happens... you realize you've fallen in love. Chagrined, you attempt to woo them, and end up spending one very passionate night with them before they claim they can never love such an dark fairy as you are. They leave, but not without giving up the child that came from that night. Which means now you are a single parent, which is a struggle... but with your mentor's help, you manage to get by without changing your ways.
Make one fairy sim somewhere in the world to be the chosen "Druid" of the tribe.
(the "priest", basically - you may cheat his skills up if you'd like so they can mentor your sim) - And yes, he will need a home!
Also, you may want to populate the rest of Innisgreen for this generation with other fairies to interact with.
Reminder: Cannot talk to people who are not in your CURRENT neighborhood. If you want to see someone in another neighborhood, you'll have to travel to them (and have a story reason for doing so?).
Home Lot Building Goals:
You're building a fairy home! Make it look like it!!
Build a community lot or two or three...
Elsewhere in the Innisgreen world, build a Druid's Grove.
(a sacred place or natural shrine for gatherings or religious rituals - I would probably do either a Wedding Venue Type or Park type for this)
Also build some other sort of social gathering Community Lot (refer to what's allowed for this one!).
Holidays:
There is some evidence that the Celts practiced human sacrifices. You do not have to do this, but perhaps have a big bonfire at the Sacred Grove or Community Gathering lot to simulate the fires they would burn their enemies in?
Beyond that, they were Polytheistic (many gods) - so use many different statues in the Grove.
There is also evidence stating that Celt Gods were NATURAL or NATURE based, not human figures, except for the mother (think mother earth style) and father (think god of the tribe and the dead) gods.
Once a week (Wednesdays) celebrate a solstice-like holiday at the Sacred Grove - leaving little offerings by the shrine with the family, and celebrating the season, and lighting a fire. This does NOT have to be an actual holiday, but if you do, use Appreciate an object, Fire, Thankful Spirit, and Tell Stories.
Travel Rules:
Can ONLY Visit Allowed lots in Innisgreen - no travel to other worlds!
If you have made other sims and built them homes, you MAY visit them at their lots.
NO visiting empty lots in the world.
Communication Rules:
You may not use the phones to call someone who IS NOT in your neighborhood. i.e. either actually wandering past your lot or living in the same neighborhood.
If you wish to visit with someone living in another neighborhood, you must travel to them (and have a story reason to do so!).

Tattooing
Lifestyles to Get:
(none)
Reward Traits to Buy:
Brave
(This is going to take some doing, feel free to work on other aspirations as you can in this era to get more points if you need to!)
Finding a Spouse:
-none- (read on!)
Spouse Goals:
You find and fall in love with a fairy that HATES you. After a steamy night, you are left with a child to care for, and no partner to raise said child with, as the fairy decides they cannot abide your lifestyle.
(TRY FOR BABY ONLY, no adopt, science baby or regular woohoo)
Children & Child Goals:
ONLY One child
Unless you have twins or triplets(if you have multiples, you must choose just one as heir)
You will raise your heir as a single parent.
If your sim is male, the female fairy you accidentally fall for one night stays with you ONLY long enough to have the baby, and she leaves in a hurry.
As for school, only the boy children can go to school, all girls of any age and boy teens must stay home and learn to care for their future family.
Remember, Teens can no longer move out on their own unless stated!
Choosing an Heir:
Heir can be of any gender, and will be your only child (unless you had multiples)
Your Heir must take these traits:
(order is up to you!)
Outgoing
Snob
Genius
Your Heir's Aspiration:
Fabulously Wealthy
Other Goals:
Must practice ONLY from two schools of Fairy Magic - Manipulative, and Emotional.
As soon as all goals are complete AND your heir is Young Adult, the generation is over!

Generation Four B: Flying Solo
(500 BC- 43 AD)
In Iron Age Celtic societies, druids formed the spiritual and intellectual elite, acting as priests, judges, teachers, and advisors to tribal leaders. They maintained oral traditions of law, ritual, and lore, presiding over ceremonies in sacred groves and mediating disputes within and between clans. Their deep knowledge of astronomy, herbal medicine, and genealogy made them pivotal in sustaining social cohesion and cultural continuity.
You were brought up to believe strongly in the healing arts, and the power Nature has over people, but you felt your parents had kept a closed mind to the real possibilities. They spent all their time worshipping cats, doing chores, and making healing cures that worked.... Sometimes. You have vowed that you will be different. You search far and wide for a Master Healer, and find one in a Sacred Druid Grove in the forests of the "Emerald Isles". He agrees to take you on, on one condition. You must learn to truly embrace the power of nature and become a fairy. You agree readily, and set yourself upon a path to become the best healer you can be. Falling in love with another fairy and settling down in the Tribe only seemed natural, as your Mentor seems to be setting you up to take over from them when they are gone.
Make one fairy sim somewhere in the world to be the chosen "Druid" of the tribe.
(the "priest", basically - you may cheat his skills up if you'd like so they can mentor your sim) - And yes, he will need a home!
Also, you may want to populate the rest of Innisgreen for this generation with other fairies to interact with.

Generation Five: Wealth of the Gods
(800 BC- 476 AD)
Both Greek and Roman civilizations built expansive trade networks across the Mediterranean, exchanging goods like olive oil, wine, grain, pottery, and luxury items. Greek city-states operated through decentralized markets and maritime partnerships, while Rome developed a more centralized system with regulated ports, standardized coinage, and state oversight. Merchants in both cultures relied on sea routes and well-maintained infrastructure—Greek triremes and Roman roads alike—to move goods efficiently and profitably. Marketplaces such as the Greek agora and Roman forum served as vital centers of commerce, civic life, and economic regulation.
Generation Five A Story (if you're coming from 4A):
Your parent was a living nightmare, flying around causing mischief, stealing people's emotions and life forces... communing with the dead, and generally being a really rotten fairy. You want nothing to do with this path, and, as soon as you can, you leave, moving as far away as you can feel like you can physically get. You find an inexpensive piece of land, and begin building your own Villa among the local culture. You begin growing beautiful flowers, and arranging them to beautify people's homes. Soon, you are able to open your own Flower Shop, selling your wares on a more permanent basis than your parents could, and slowly accruing wealth that you can pass on to your children.
Generation Five B Story (if you're coming from 4B):
When you came of age, your family expected you to carry on living as they had; healing and selling your cures, living with the fairies, and being the local Druid for the Tribe. However, you were a dreamer and wanted ... something different. The whole Fairy thing just wasn't you. Therefore, you find a way to become human again, and you move far away from the rest of your flying family. You buy an empty plot of land, build a Villa, and start growing beautiful flowers. Soon, you are able to open your own Flower Shop, selling your wares on a more permanent basis than your parents could, and slowly accruing wealth that you can pass on to your children.
Generation Five Icon:
Generation Five Historical Inspiration:
Ancient Rome, or Ancient Greece - your choice, they were at about the same period in time.
Packs Required:
Base Game
Get Together (World)
City Living (lot trait)
Seasons (holidays)
Snowy Escape (lifestyles)
Businesses & Hobbies (small business)
If you don't have this pack, you could do it as a retail (would be much harder) or from tables!
Also, you may want to populate the rest of Windenburg for this generation with other era-appropriate sims to interact with.
Reminder: Cannot talk to people who are not in your CURRENT neighborhood. If you want to see someone in another neighborhood, you'll have to travel to them (and have a story reason for doing so?).
Home Lot Building Goals:
I highly suggest a 20 by 30 lot or smaller!
As for architecture, you are welcome to choose between Roman or Greek, because they were at about the same general time period.
Holidays:
Spring: All Fools Day – Mischief Spirit, Drinking and Party Spirit
Summer: Festival of Remembrance – Remembrance, Tell Stories, Fire, Thankful Spirit
Fall: The Harvest – Drinking (can be done by proposing a toast as a friendly action – do not need a bar), Fire, Art and Music Spirit, Barbeque (can’t do grand meal without an oven)
Winter: Winter Solstice – Festive lighting, Give gifts, Barbeque, Light Menorah or Kinara
Travel Rules:
Remember: The Bluffs and Ancient Ruins are available to be traveled to, but you may want to make sure they're de-modernized. (as in, don't accept party invites to there!!) (And the Chalet is still off-limits!)
Can ONLY Visit Allowed lots in Windenburg - no travel to other worlds!
If you have made other sims and built them homes, you MAY visit them at their lots.
NO visiting empty lots in the world.
Communication Rules:
You may not use the phones to call someone who IS NOT in your neighborhood. i.e. either actually wandering past your lot or living in the same neighborhood.
If you wish to visit with someone living in another neighborhood, you must travel to them (and have a story reason to do so!).
NO ACCEPTING FAMILY CALLS AND VISITS from elsewhere in the world, and you may only talk to sims in the neighborhood you are currently living in.
Take these traits:
Outgoing
Snob
Genius
Aspirations to Complete:
Fabulously Wealthy
Career & Education Goals:
Education: None
Career:Flowers (can be a small business)
(yes, this can be a small business - but not a full retail store unless you don't have businesses & hobbies)
Skills to Master:
Charisma
Flower Arranging
Lifestyles to Get:
People Person
Reward Traits to Buy:
Marketable
Beguiling
Carefree
Finding a Spouse:
Yes, find a spouse. Your choice of in-game NPC or CAS-made sim.
(TRY FOR BABY ONLY, no adopt, science baby or regular woohoo)
Spouse Goals:
No specific goals for the spouse, so they can do whatever you think is appropriate.
Spouses cannot bring money into the family. You must take away whatever they bring in.
Children & Child Goals:
School is now allowed for all children and teens.
(Although it was usually segregated, by the Roman Empire, girls were now allowed to go to school.)
Choosing an Heir:
Your heir must be male!
Your Heir must take these traits:
Can be taken in any order:
Insider
Kleptomaniac
Shady
Your Heir's Aspiration:
Leader of the Pack
Other Goals:
Open a small business in order to make money (unless you don't have Businesses & Hobbies).
Place this business in either Magnolia Promenade or the Crumbling Isle near your home (your choice - but Crumbling Isle would be easier to fit to the time period) - or, indeed, make it a home business.
Suggestion: Keep this business small, and if you don't have B & H, you CAN do a Retail instead, but again, keep it small, because a retail store is HARD to make money with from my experience!
NPCs such as maids and butlers are now unlocked and can be used at your discretion
Optional: Move in a sim of your choice to be your servant and build them a servants’ quarters on your lot.
Tips for making money with Flowers: once you get to level 7, you will start seeing Masterpieces. Sell these on a table for 300% markup, and you'll be rich. Also: "scenting" your flower arrangements with bluebell means that the flowers won't decay and you can sell them at your leisure.
As soon as all of your goals are complete, AND your chosen heir is a Young Adult, the generation ends.
The tracker will be coming as soon as possible, and the rest of the generations are also still coming. HOWEVER… If you want to see what things are going to look like… check out:
I, personally, think it looks amazing. But I’d love to hear your opinion on the changes. Especially (hopefully) before I start pushing these changes into the rest of my challenges. SO PLEASE, COMMENT on this post, let me know what you think of the new accordion, colors, and tabs on the rules page. My main purpose was to make things clearer, more concise, and easy to follow… as well as shortening the overall page length so I can do 10 generations on a page instead of five. I have also specifically worked to make it as spoiler-free as POSSIBLE… you can now play an ENTIRE generation without ever opening the next generations’ information – so the next generation can be a surprise if you’d like.
Now…. on to the next thing…. finishing this:
(and then back to ENSB!!)
Just a side note: Today I began fully updating my Extended Not So Berry, including authoring a new, updated and upgraded tracking spreadsheet for it, and adding new pack generations. The tracker will remain free and will be available… well, as soon as I finish it! <3 Hehe. Just wanted everyone to know that I was now actively putting the NSB on my todo list and working on it as a priority! So yes, the updates… are COMING!
Current Project Priority List:
Update NSB Extended
Update Timeline Adventure
Update SuperSim Challenge Spreadsheet
Update Misery2Mansions & Finish writing
Update Interactive (and write new solo) Asylum Challenge
Update Master Simmer
Update Hard Mode Decades
Update Lunar Lineage
Update Mermaid Legacy
Update Apartment Switch
Check build challenges for necessary updates
set up streaming to include livestreaming to youtube, resume youtube publishing
update website & Patreon to add custom Sims builds & store
fix spreadsheets page on website
finish my version 1.0 Planet Zoo spreadsheet and publish
fix shell challenges page & update
work on mod suggestions pages
finish writing & publish my Sims 4 Build a World Challenge
finish writing & publish my Sims Medieval Challenge
collaborate & publish a “Dance with Death” Challenge (already in the works)
Write & publish a “Sims Scenarios Challenge” (still in the idea phase)
finish Subnautica Spreadsheet
back to Planet Zoo spreadsheet 1.2
…??? ~~~~TBD~~~~
I *think* it’s all updated. I may have made some mistakes, and I did not update the recommended mod list, but I will do that soon, I hope. Beyond that, all the generations have been added (three new gens, and two partial .5 gens .. so technically 5 new gens added). i also added some main rules dealing with some of the new features, and the spreadsheet should be 100% updated barring typos. Please, let me know if you find anything that looks a bit off. I will attempt to do a third or fourth proof-read to attempt to get rid of any of those lingering typos. ENJOY!!
(and yes, Not So Berry is NEXT!)
However, I will say, it’s finally getting there. Should be done by the end of this week! If you’re playing along, use the website rules…. the Spreadsheet is currently only half done. (But if you’re terribly curious, you can see some of the new generations being added!) And, again, I will post as soon as it’s done!!
I finally have all the writing and researching and planning done for Timeline Adventure! I just wanted to post a notice to anyone working on the challenge – DON’T trust what you’re seeing, especially on the spreadsheet, because that’s what I’m updating first… and there’s a LOT to do on it. After that, I’ll update all the blog pages, adding in the new generations, and getting all the new rules in. I will 100% post another notification post here as soon as I’m done with updating everything that needs updating.
Once I post that it’s ready, if you’re midway through the challenge, I suggest either sticking with the challenge as you have it with your tracker spreadsheet – or downloading a copy of the newly updated one (I’ll link in the notice post) and then transferring over all your existing data to the new sheet. I apologize that there isn’t an easier way to do it. 🙁
That being said, the next thing on my list after Timeline is finishing up my Planet Zoo and launching it (hopefully on this coming Sunday) … then starting on Monday, I’ll be working on the next challenge to update: Not So Berry!!

I would highly suggest using something like the Home Regions mod by Kuttoe for the immersiveness, and only have sims in your neighborhood that match your decade. Consequently, if you’re using this mod, turn the “same neighborhood” setting to either “always limit by neighborhood” or “prefer partners in same neighborhood”.

Maybe your family has been too close to nature lately, but somehow, the lure of the beasts of the forest has been calling to you since you became an adult. Consequently, you immediately delve into the lore surrounding them, and, finally, you become a beast yourself.

Career: (Any)

Move to Moonwood Mill

Athletics
If you picked Emissary of the Collective: Charisma
If you picked Wildfang Renegade: Mischief
If you picked Lone Wolf: Guitar
Find your soulmate and marry them
Have at least 1 child and raise them to Young Adult
Before continuing to generation 32, before you finish this generation, have your heir (if they’re a werewolf) complete the Cure Seeker aspiration.
Generation 32: Chestnut (orange-red)
Your parents got lost inside the beasts of the forest, but you have a different idea. Why not have the “beasts” work FOR and WITH you instead of becoming one. You move to Chestnut Ridge, and immerse yourself in the equestrian lifestyle. On your spare days (what few of them there are!) – you spend free time making and aging nectar for sale. Horses don’t make you money, you know.. so you have to have some way to support your habit!
Traits: Horse Lover, Rancher, Loves Outdoors
Aspirations: Expert Nectar Maker, Championship Rider (both are one-tier aspirations)
Career: Self-employed Nectar-Maker
Goals:
Make sure your main sim is human (they should have completed Cure Seeker aspiration before moving out.)
Move to Chestnut Ridges
Complete both aspirations
Max the following skills on your main sim:
Horse Riding
Nectar Making (5 level skill)
Gardening
Dancing (5 level skill)
Fitness
You can start off by buying more expensive horses, but you must also rescue at least two horses over your career. They may be sold once fully trained (must have max in at least two skills before selling).
Breed at least 3 foals on your own ranch.
Train at least 2 horses to championship status – both must have won EACH competition at least once. This includes all levels of competitions (beginner to expert) and the ultimate horse competition.
Have at least three mini goats at any one time. Someone has to mow all that prairie grass, you know… 🙂
There are a good number of other things you’ll need to do to master the two aspirations, including selling a lot of nectar, but I’m not going to write all of them down here. (Hint: nectar ages better in a cellar, so I would build one!)
Having children is completely up to you. If you’re moving onto another challenge, or EmilyBlueJaye’s “Super Extended Not-So-Berry“, you’ll need an heir.
Note on Lots: I will be building pre-built lots and putting them on the gallery with the tag “#timelineadventure” as I work through the challenge myself. My sims Origin tag is IllusoryThrall, feel free to toss me a follow. I will link each generation’s pre-built lots in boxes like this on this page for each generation – so if you’re not a builder, you can still easily play this challenge. I will eventually get to building lots for all generations, but for now it’s just the first few generations that I have completed. All lots mentioned on these pages are CC-free and playable! Also, if you build a lot that qualifies as those two things and want it included in these lists, please just drop me a comment here or a message at IllusoryThrall on the sims forums, I will check it out and add it if it fits!
Gen 36: The Epidemic (2020s)
You grow up in a world with ready access to whatever you need, plenty of friends, and 2020 is just another year until the virus hits. Suddenly the world as you knew it is gone, changed probably forever by the ever-growing crisis. You feel like you desperately need to be on the front lines, making a difference in this new world of delivered food, virtual concerts, live stream gaming, and face masks. Somehow you manage to find someone for you and the two of you start a family, doing everything you can to keep them safe and healthy.

Lot Traits: Fast Internet, Private Dwelling, *your choice*

Similarly, you also can pick any three skills to master from the whole list of skills as long as the fourth skill you max is Dance (which maxes at level 5).
(You also get to pick the third Lot Trait.)
Complete career on main sim.
Complete Mansion Baron Aspiration.
Your major goal this generation is to build a safe home for you and your family, with plenty of room, and all the amenities. This is your paradise away from the world.
Find a partner to share it with, and have at least one child.
I suggest getting a CC facemask for all your sims to wear outside the house for this generation.
Your heir’s traits will be: Cheerful, Generous, and Good; their Aspiration will be either Romantic Explorer, Paragon Partner, or Neighborhood Confidante.
Generation 36 Lots:
Gen 37: Repairing Relationships (2025s)
The Epidemic single-handedly ruined so many relationships over it’s course. Which only made you want to fix them all. You gravitate towards counseling, and settle easily into the relationship counselor role. Each person you meet is another soul who needs healing, and your mission is to heal them all, whether they’re your client or not. Unfortunately, something has to give … and in this case, it’s your own family life that suffers.

Once your lovey-dovey aspirations are complete (and they do not need to be completed all with the same partner!), ignore your partner in favor of your job.
Similarly, spend very little time with your children, and leave their care up to nannies or your current partner. However, all children MUST continue to live with you!
Your heir MUST be MALE and their traits will be Genius, Ambitious, and Self Assured; their aspiration will be Nerd Brain.
Generation 37 Lots:
Gen 38: The Future in Space (Near Future)
In the aftermath of the Epidemic, the weird new world is completely obsessed with technology. Artificial intelligence seems just around the corner, and as a child you begin your passion for looking to the stars. You have become obsessed with the idea of alien life. You want to be the first to discover it and bring it back to your world. Building a Rocket Ship of your own takes all your free time, and you get a permanent crick in your neck from always looking to the sky. When you finally make contact, and they show you how to get to their world, you suddenly don’t want to share it at all. This must be all yours and yours alone. You fall in love with an alien, and you eagerly start a family with them. Unfortunately, you did not understand the consequences of bringing forth such life, and now it seems it could be the catalyst that triggers the end of the world.

Your heir must be at least part alien (and hopefully capable of disguising themselves), and their traits will be: Genius, Creative, Geek; and their aspiration is City Native.
Generation 38 Lots:
Gen 39: The Age of Automation (Future)
You are raised with a toe in both of your parents’ worlds. With an eye to the past, you realize you must find a way to automate more daily tasks and upgrade the world around you. Being partially not of this world, you struggle to fit in and you choose a high-population area to settle into in the hopes that your differences won’t be noticed. With hard work and dedication, artificial intelligence is soon right at your fingertips, and you become the change the world seems to need. As you study this new technology, you even find ways to upgrade yourself. You are now the future. You find a spouse, still carefully hiding what you are away from them. Despite the fact that you spend most of the time in your workshop, you find time to bring at least one child into the world, and you only let them in on your shared secret as they prepare to go out into the world as an adult.

Stay in disguise form 100% of the time, (if you have the ability to make a disguise, that is). Avoid using alien powers, and try to keep your secret hidden. (If you are found out, it doesn’t break the challenge, but at least TRY to not let it happen.)
Marry a human sim, and have at least one child (who is also part alien, thanks to you).
(Whether or not the Servo you create moves to the next generation with your heir is also your choice.)
Your heir’s traits will be: Loner, Paranoid, Erratic; and their aspiration is StrangerVille Mystery.
Generation 39 Lots:
Gen 40: The End of the World
Right as your parent lets you in on the craziest secret you’ve ever heard of, your world crumbles. Not just because you find out you’re something you never wanted to be, but because the literal world is ending. Organized society has come crashing down for unknown reasons, and on top of this – you find out that those like you are being hunted. You carefully hide the part of you that is not of this world, quickly making yourself constantly paranoid. You are always looking over your shoulder, never knowing who might be following you. Anarchy reigns, and it’s a harsh world you find yourself lost in. Searching for yourself in and amongst the disaster, you endeavor to find out what exactly happened to the world. The question eventually becomes, can you save the world … and can you also save yourself in the process?

Solve the StrangerVille mystery.
Never marry and have no children.
Die at the hands of the Mother, side with the Mother, (OR) Save the world.
If you side with the Mother or die, the challenge ends now. (I highly encourage saving the world before going into Mother’s chamber, in other words.)
Only if you manage to (or choose to) save the world can you then adopt one baby, infant, or toddler (an orphaned survivor of the catastrophe) and raise them to adulthood to continue the legacy.
Become best friends with your child.
Also: If you brought the Servo, you can continue to take them with you.
Your heir’s traits will be: Maker, Green Fiend, Recycle Disciple; and their aspiration is Eco Innovator.
Generation 40 Lots:
Community Lots Unlocked after this generation: Community Spaces (Evergreen Harbor)
Extended Not So Berry Progress: As many of you know, I’m updating my Extended Not So Berry and my Timeline Adventure … at the same time. Probably not the best way to go about it, but that’s okay… it’s how I’m doing it anyway. I fully expect the ENSB to be finished first, because it […]
The tracker will be coming as soon as possible, and the rest of the generations are also still coming. HOWEVER… If you want to see what things are going to look like… check out: All Packs Extended Not So Berry 2.0 – Main Rules https://illusorythrall.com/challenges/updated-epic-challenges/extended-not-so-berry/generations-1-10/ I, personally, think it looks amazing. But I’d love to […]
The Big News: I have been slaving away on several projects at once – as usual… One being getting a spreadsheet template together for use as a free tracker for all of my challenges. Well, I don’t need to anymore!! Because (drumroll) … I have a partner now! After some discussion and negotiation, I now […]
Just a side note: Today I began fully updating my Extended Not So Berry, including authoring a new, updated and upgraded tracking spreadsheet for it, and adding new pack generations. The tracker will remain free and will be available… well, as soon as I finish it! <3 Hehe. Just wanted everyone to know that I […]
I *think* it’s all updated. I may have made some mistakes, and I did not update the recommended mod list, but I will do that soon, I hope. Beyond that, all the generations have been added (three new gens, and two partial .5 gens .. so technically 5 new gens added). i also added some […]
However, I will say, it’s finally getting there. Should be done by the end of this week! If you’re playing along, use the website rules…. the Spreadsheet is currently only half done. (But if you’re terribly curious, you can see some of the new generations being added!) And, again, I will post as soon as […]
I finally have all the writing and researching and planning done for Timeline Adventure! I just wanted to post a notice to anyone working on the challenge – DON’T trust what you’re seeing, especially on the spreadsheet, because that’s what I’m updating first… and there’s a LOT to do on it. After that, I’ll update […]
Hello! I am sorry I’ve been sort of MIA recently. Partially it’s been because of health issues – both mental and physical, partially because I’ve just been so busy, and in a large part because of the blow that finding out all the images were messed up on my stories did to me. I truly […]
Just a notice saying I’ve posted a new challenge that I will be playing on stream starting tomorrow. It’s called the Winchester Mystery House Challenge, and it’s a “short” build and game play challenge based on a REAL LIFE haunted house. Anyway, the challenge is now linked from the above menus and below. Winchester Mystery […]
Main Apartment Switch Rules | Switch Six Rules Switch Five Part 2 We start by looking at Selina Nash’s starting stats: She’s not exactly in a good mood. I guess first thing will be to find some people to talk to. But first, I give her a high paying job… And off we go. I […]
I am a 47 year old American wife, mother, and gamer. I’ve lived in the Midwest most of my life, and enjoy it for the changing seasons. My favorite movie is Labyrinth, my favorite game is Sims 4, and I have tattoos related to both. My favorite colors are purple, red, and green. When I’m not playing games (which is rare) I also enjoy reading and crafting. I’m also an animal lover, and have had many types of pets over the years. Currently, I have a dog named Cassie who is a Jack Russel / Beagle mix and five young fancy rats (all of whom are rescues). I run this Sims 4 Blog where I post screenshots and stories about the different challenges I play. Also here are the Sims 4 challenges I've written, and a place for me to store all the Sims 4 knowledge I've gotten over the years. I am also a Sims 4/variety streamer on Twitch for my mental health, fun, and to meet new people. I am also in the EA Creator Network and an Ubisoft Partner, which is a dream come true! I look forward to meeting you!
