ₓ˚ ୭ ˚◦˚ Ever After Legacy Challenge ˚◦˚ ୧ ˚ₓ

This is a ten generation legacy challenge that will cure you of your boredom! Each generation has in-depth storylines that helps assist you to adding more volume to your sims origins and gameplay. With sets of goals and requirements that each generation must complete before a new heir takes over.

Rules:

○ You can add in extra details/plots/events/etc, that you may want to for each generation. You can feel free to make this as crazy as you may want it to be. The goal of this legacy challenge is to help guide gameplay.

○ Money cheats are allowed to a certain degree. You can do cheats like “freerealestate” and “money 00″ for story-telling purposes. (But I don’t think you will need it XD)

○ Feel free to use MODS to further enhance your gameplay. No restrictions here just super excited to see what everyone does with this challenge.

○ ALL goals and requirements must be met before a new heir takes over

○ If you do decide to take on this challenge, tag/credit me! @Imjennx or paste this post’s link in your description box. Use #EverAfterChallenge on videos/posts/and tweets if you can :) Good luck and I hope you all have fun!

My Little Helpers:

This is a little shoutout and thank you to these two lovely simmers who have helped me with my challenge. Honestly, without them, this challenge would not have been published. They hyped me up every step of the way and lended me their advice.

@roosims & @thesimallie

These two incredible simmers took the time out of their days to help me proof read this and went out of their way to give me wonderful advice. Go check out their Youtube channels as well. They honestly deserves all the love in the world.

mental health tips i wish i’d been given before starting university

trying is much more important than succeeding

10 minutes of studying > not studying at all

being a college student is more than academics. it’s also learning how to enjoy your own company, learning and occasionally screwing up meals, wandering outside campus like a tourist, questioning your ideals and presuppositions, discovering new talents and skills for the hell of it, and SO much more. if you feel burnt out in one dimension of college life, that’s a sign to spend some time relishing in another dimension.

if you need more time, take a deep breath and shoot that email to your professor/TA asking for an extension. at worst, they say no. and don’t stress over properly explaining yourself/your situation. hell, just email them: “Hi, Professor. I need your help. Sincerely, y/n.” all it takes is that one initial reach out and the rest will follow.

failure does not reflect character. read that again. remind yourself as often as you see fit because at one point or another, you will feel like you’ve failed. it’s growing pains. once you’ve accepted that, learn to view any setbacks as a hint that you need to try a new method/approach. didn’t do well on that math quiz? don’t beat yourself up over it–instead, regroup with yourself and see which metaphorical gear got stuck in your personal learning process machine. for instance, maybe you used flash cards and that wasn’t really your style. act like a detective, not a bully.

THERE IS NO NORMAL TIMELINE FOR YOUR COLLEGE CAREER(!!!!!!). a lot of people need more than 4 years, a lot of people need 4 years, and a lot of people need less than 4 years. and every single one of those timelines are valid. the worst thing you could do is squeeze the living hell out of yourself into some rigid schedule that is incompatible with who you are and how you learn. trust me when i say u will find yourself doing the best work when u do it at YOUR pace.

An excerpt from a poem. It reads: 'Who could love you / like this? Who else will sew ou in the stars?'

Keith S. Wilson, Heliocentric

An excerpt from a poem. It reads: 'Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light; I have loved the stars too truly to be fearful of the night.'

Sarah Wiliams, The Old Astronomer

A painting by Vincent van Gogh; a night-time scene dominated by dark blue and yellow, with the top half of the painting dedicated to the night sky and stars, and the majority of the bottom showing the reflection of the sky on the river Rhone. In the foreground, a man and woman are walking together.

Vincent van Gogh, Starry Night over the Rhône

Two lines from the script of Titanic (1997). It reads:
JACK: Where to, Miss?
ROSE: To the stars.

Titanic (1997) dir. James Cameron

An excerpt from a printed book. It reads: 'The dark is generous, and it is patient, and it always wins--but in the heart of its strength lies weakness: one lone candle is enough to hold it back. Love is more than a candle. Love can ignite the stars.'

Matthew Stover, The Revenge of the Sith: Novelisation

Lyrics taken from the website Genius. It reads: 'Look at the stars / Look how they shine for you.' Both lines are highlighted in grey.

Coldplay, Yellow

A copy of a song sheet, which has been annotated with the guitar chords with each line of lyrics. The lyrics read: 'The first time ever I saw your face / I thought the sun rose in your eyes / And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave / To the dark and the endless skies, my love'.

Ewan McColl, The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (with guitar chords)

A fairly long paragraph from a printed book. It reads: '"You are under no spell, pretty boy, pretty boy." She lay back in the grass and stared up at the sky. "Your stars," she asked. "What are they like?" Dunstan lay beside her in the cool grass, and stared up at the night sky. There was certainly something odd about the stars: perhaps there was more colour in them, for they glittered like tiny gems; perhaps there was something about the number of tiny stars, the constellations; something was strange and wonderful about the stars. But then...
They lay back to back, staring up at the sky.'

Neil Gaiman, Stardust

A line from a poem. It reads: 'Is that too much to expect? That I would name the stars for you? That I would take you there?'

Richard Siken, Snow & Dirty Rain

A section of iambic pentameter in a printer script. It reads: 'Come, gentle night, come, loving, black-brow'd night,
Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun--'

William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

Two sections of the same image; round puffy clouds painted in cream and ivory on a backdrop of a grey and dark blue sky. The grass visible in one is unseen in the other, and vice versa for the full moon. The clouds, stars and moon have all been painted with luminous gold that seems to glow softly.

Şenay Cüce, sketchbook details

An excerpt from a poem. It reads: 'What is there to do: I've made love to satellites in your name.'

Keith S. Wilson, Heliocentric
