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 31: Getting an Education (1995s)

After a miserable childhood, you vowed to never let another child be forgotten and left behind. For this reason, you aim to be a teacher, and to have a large, close-knit, and happy family. You get out of your childhood home as soon as you possibly can, and move into the dorms at University, determined to be a huge part of campus activities. You find lots of friends, and a lot of fun, but you never forget your original aspiration and your studies. After graduation, you jump into your chosen career with gusto, and immediately marry and start a family. Your children will never want for anything, and they will always be the best at whatever they choose to be.

Gen 32: Setting the Trends (2000s)

Your parents always wanted the best for you, and an almost too-perfect childhood only made you crave the spotlight even more. As a child, you are drawn to fashion, and the glitz and glamour of the runway. Once you’re all grown up and can shed the burden of a family that always seemed to expect too much of you, you immediately start setting the trends. Seeing your designs in the bright lights is your dream come true. You find celebrity love and begin to dress up your kids in the type of clothes you wish you had always had.

Being in the limelight was never your thing. You grew up with your parents being obsessed with it, and you quickly soured to it. You spend all your time in your room on your computer, finding ways to get into trouble. Once grown up, your experience in computers netted you some great opportunities to start your own business, and you took them and ran with it. Finding love, however, wasn’t as easy. You struggle to find a mate, and have two failed fiancés before you finally find one that sticks with you.

Gen 34: Adrenaline Junkie (2010s)

You grew up surrounded by technology in a fast-paced world. This became a way of life for you, and you embrace the adrenaline rush that the speed of life gives you. When you hear about Mt. Komorebi, you know you’ve found your new home. You find a job just to pay the bills, but immediately regret the long hours forced on you by Corporate America. Somehow you find ways to slack on the job and still get promotions, and you take as much time off as you possibly can – spending all your free time on the slopes of the mountain. You marry someone who is a part of your climbing group, and after watching the fun that other parents are having with their children in the white wonderland, you and your mate resolve to fill your home with happy voices.

Gen 35: The Age of the Cyber Web (2015s)

You grew up connected to the slopes of Mount Komorebi, immersed in the white world it offered your family. However, nature isn’t your idea of a good time. All the creepy critters out there can keep their pristine white world, for all you care. The perfection of your seemingly idyllic family becomes ingrained, and your easy access to the rest of the world through the web causes you to fall head over feet into the trap of technology. You love being connected and having everything at the tips of your fingers. You love social media and making videos for viewers. Your obsession with perfection turns into a need to have the perfect family and perfect life, even in it means being dishonest to portray it to the world. Now that you are an influencer, you have the world watching your every move, and you do whatever it takes to make sure that they only see your “good side”.
