Gen 16 – 20 | Gen 21 – 25 | Gen 26 – 30 | Gen 31 – 32


Generation Twenty-Six: Steel

Your military family and their push to get you to achieve became a way of life for you. You felt a pull to go a different direction with your life, however, and you want to work with your hands and make a real difference in the world. School was never an issue for you, and learning new things was a breeze. As you set out on your own, you adopt a more bohemian lifestyle, and spend as much time as possible making a difference in your hometown.

Traits: Maker, Green Fiend, Genius

Aspiration: Master Maker (Teen-YA), Eco Innovator (adult-elder)

Career: Freelance Maker (Teen-YA), Civil Designer (adult-elder)

Goals:

  • Move to Evergreen Harbor and get your neighborhood to a “Green” state.
  • Get four active Neighborhood Action Plans (preferably ones that help the neighborhood go “green”.) If needed, turn back on the NPC voting and footprint effects in game settings. You are welcome to turn it back on after this generation if you want.
  • Try to unlock all fabrication recipes (including ones from whichever branch of Civil Designer you chose)
  • Master Fabrication and Juice Fizzing skills
  • Try to get to the top of the Freelance Maker career (you’ll know you’re there when you get the award) and finish the Master Maker Aspiration before you quit to join the Civil Designer career and your second aspiration.
  • It might be a good idea to attend University again this generation (you could do the Freelance career to make money while attending classes), but I will leave that choice up to you.
  • The heir must get a fisherman job and get to level 3 in it before getting their official career as a YA. (Cannot take this job while in high school, so either graduate early, or spend some time in this career before getting the main career)
  • Get the Health Food Nut Lifestyle

Generation Twenty-Seven: Lime

You decide to break the family pattern, and you actually just want to really reconnect to nature. Your parents support your decision, but would prefer you stay at home. After some thought, you decide to set out on your own instead. You find a plot of land far away from the city and you move there with the money you have saved from your teenage fisherman job, but nothing else. With just a plot of land and the clothes in your suitcase to your name, you immediately get to work. You’ve goals to work on, and a house to build, although you are definitely conscious of your carbon footprint, so it’ll be a small house.

Traits: Loves Outdoors, Loner, Freegan

Aspiration: Angling Ace, Freelance Botanist, Outdoor Enthusiast

Career: Part Time Fisherperson (teen-YA), Gardener (either branch YA-elder)

Goals:

  • Start your sim with just enough money to buy the land. 
  • Use the “off the grid” Lot Trait for this generation (Cannot own a TV, computer, or other electronics)
  • Build a Tiny Home 
  • Get to level 3 (as mentioned in previous gen) in Fisherperson career BEFORE switching to the Gardener Career.
  • Master the Gardening, Fishing, Flower Arranging, and Herbalism skills.
  • Master all three aspirations (if you need to, using a youth potion is allowed)
  • Do not have a child until a minimum of ten days from turning into an elder.
  • Collect all of the Magic Beans from the rare plant seed packets, and turn into a plantsim at some point during the generation
  • Complete the Fish, Gardening (as much as possible), Insects and Frog collections.
  • Get the Technophobe Lifestyle

Generation Twenty-Eight: Gold

Your goal in life is the absolute opposite of your backwards parent. Living in a tiny house, eating vegetables, and always paying attention to your surrounding world and environment is not for you. Living paycheck to paycheck and off the proceeds of your farm is even more not your thing. You want money. Lots of it. And a home that shows exactly how much money you have made. To this end, you join the Acting career, and dedicate your life to the job and the celebrity. You move to Del Sol Valley, and are soon turning heads everywhere. You choose to adopt for the boost to your reputation rather than for the child, but you are sure they will be well cared for – you are, after all, paying for just that.

Traits: Self-Assured (this used to be Self-Absorbed, but you cannot take that as a child – if you want to switch to this later in life, feel free), Materialistic, Hates Children

Aspiration: Fabulously Wealthy, Mansion Baron, Master Actor or Actress

Career: Acting

Goals:

  • Finish all three aspirations. If you need more time, youth potions are okay.
  • Master the Charisma and Acting skills.
  • Attend the award ceremonies whenever they happen.
  • Become a level five celebrity.
  • Build a mansion in Del Sol Valley (up on the celebrity hill) and zone it with the Celebrity home lot trait (when you get your celebrity up high enough to warrant it, that is.)
  • Make sure there’s room in your home for hiring a live-in butler.
  • Make sure you’re seen in the hottest spots in town every weekend, and sometimes during the week, too. 
  • Eat Healthy and work out to keep your body in good shape – but not so healthy that you end up eating like your parents did.
  • After you hit adulthood, adopt a child, and make sure it is well cared for with nannies and butlers. 

Generation Twenty-Nine: Wood

You were regarded as a status object while growing up, and it was obvious your parent had no time for you or care for your thoughts and feelings. However, you found friends in the house’s staff, and grew up loved and cared for – if not by your actual adoptive parent, at least you had the love of someone who counted. The huge, expensive house you grew up in always felt cold and unwelcoming, so you spent most of your time in the staff’s area of the house, which was just the opposite – mostly because of the company. As you grew up, you knew you wanted to change the world one house at a time. Making your client’s homes exactly what your childhood mansion could never be was your ultimate goal. Once you hit adulthood, you dedicate yourself to raising a family with your spouse, and you encourage your child(ren) to be the very best at whatever they set their mind to.

Traits: Good, Creative, Outgoing

Aspiration: Successful Lineage

Career: Interior Decorator

Goals: 

  • Complete the Successful Lineage aspiration. Much like in generation Twenty-One, finishing this aspiration after the next generation takes over is perfectly fine, and still counts.
  • Master the Interior Decorator Career
  • Do your absolute best to try to make each client’s home their dream home, paying careful attention to their likes and dislikes.
  • Build yourself a warm and cozy home, perfect for raising a family. Concentrate on having areas to socialize and spend time with each other.
  • Once you hit adulthood (and not before), find a spouse of your choosing and raise a family. You must have at least one child (either naturally or by adoption), and be at the Good Friends or higher relationship status with each of your kids.

Generation Thirty: Hunter Green

Your parents always wanted the best for you. For you, that meant doing something your illustrious family had never tried: creating a wholesome family farm to hopefully pass on to your children. You couldn’t think of anything better than giving your children something tangible, something that they could do to give back to the ailing planet earth.

Traits: Animal Enthusiast, Loves Outdoors, Lactose Intolerant

Aspiration: Country Caretaker

Career: Self-Employed Farmer

Goals: 

  • Move to a large plot of land in Henford-on-Bagley (not in Finchwick, in other words – it needs to be at LEAST 30 by 40).
  • Complete the Country Caretaker Aspiration.
  • Max the Gardening, Cooking, and the Fishing skills.
  • Build up a full farm. This needs to include plenty of crops, an orchard, at least two cows, at least two Llamas, and at least two full coops of chickens.
  • Have both a bird tree and a rabbit hole on your property (after making friends with these animals in the wild), and have them help you with your gardening.
  • Build a pond on your land, and stock it with fish that you caught.
  • Win Each of the 8 Fair ribbons (even if it means bribing the judge!)
  • Have grown at least one Perfect Oversized Lettuce, Mushroom, Aubergine, Pumpkin, and Watermelon, and turn them into a decor item to preserve them!
  • Find and romance your perfect partner, and have at least 3 children (adoption is perfectly okay!). Keep your relationship high with all of your children, and involve them in the daily work of the farm: gardening, cooking, and caring for the animals.

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!
