Once you’re ready to play, grab a copy of my Timeline Adventure Challenge Tracking Spreadsheet to track your progress!

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 26: Protest, Activism, & War (1970s)

You grew up around animals, ignored by the parent that should have loved you, and instead only loved anything with fur. Your parent felt their life goal was to save every single pet in the entire universe, which seemed a silly sort of goal. Rather, you decide you want to help a more worthy cause – the environment. You can see how the planet has become industrialized and dirty. All you want in life is to save the planet before things get any worse. The Vietnam War only solidifies your ambition. You believe that everything should be natural and that you must pull away from the processed world entirely. You leave your hometown and move closer to the volcano and the only “wild” area left in the Sulani Islands. You feel deeply, spiritually, connected to the Islands, and you swear you can feel the presence of the ancestors all around you, approving of your crusade.

Gen 27: Nectar Valley (1975s)

You were brought up to love nature, and your parents expected you to follow in their footsteps as an activist for nature, but you felt your destiny lay elsewhere. A burgeoning nectar industry was growing in Napa Valley, California, and you couldn’t think of anything more idyllic than running a Nectary of your own, so you packed your bags and moved back to the mainland. Starting a nectary was hard work, but soon your love of parties and friends started bringing people from far away to try your nectars. Slowly, you began turning a profit – enough to afford a luxury you’d always craved… horses. You build a fancy barn and buy a fancy horse, and start competing in the local jumping circuit. Eventually, you even start a family, but inexplicably, your heir seems to see monsters in every shadow, despite the luxury they have grown up in, and you quickly grow apart.

Gen 28: Cold War Paranoia (1980s)

You were brought up to love nature, and your parents expected you to follow in their footsteps and take care of the family nectary, but you felt danger around every corner. Ferreting out the truth of the matter began to consume your every day, and before you, you knew your true calling was as a spy. You left home and your idyllic life at the nectary for spy academy and never once looked back. This was the time your country needed you, and yes, everyone WAS out to get you!

Gen 29: Bringing Modern In (1985s)

You barely knew your parents, and their constant suspicion and paranoia really grated on your nerves.

Your parents believed in light and goodness and that everyone really just needed a cozy place of their own to live in to be happy. You, on the other hand, knew better. Everyone had secrets and the juicier the secret, the more you wanted to know it. You found out quickly that you had a talent for weaseling your way in and finding out all the dirty little secrets people probably should keep hidden… and you make a living from it. Rising quickly among the ranks of journalism, you spend your life hunting down every secret that isn’t completely nailed down.
