Not So Berry Legacy Challenge
Do you like the rainbow? Do you like the idea of playing with berry Sims but hate berry Sims? Do you want to mess around with aspects of the game you’ve never used before? Boy, do I have the challenge for you!
Welcome to the Not So Berry Legacy Challenge, a ten generation legacy with a focus on bright colors and new experiences.
Basic Rules:
Each heir must represent the color of the generation (i.e. hair, makeup, clothing), but brightly colored skin is not necessary (these aren’t actually berry Sims, that’s the joke). Of course, this is optional but a big portion of the fun.
The colors of the spouses don’t matter as they aren’t part of the challenge. Unless otherwise stated you can do whatever you please with them.
Money cheats can be used, but not excessively. Suggestion: use freerealestate for your first home, but no cheats afterward.
You may live wherever you please unless something is specified in the rules of a generation.
Every generation is supposed to complete both the career and aspiration of the heir unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Keep the lifespan on normal.
If you play this challenge and want to share it with us, go ahead and post with #notsoberry so we can see!
My good friend @alwaysimming​ and I kind of created this challenge on accident, but I think it turned out pretty great. We wanted to make something that forced us to play with parts of the game we’ve never explored before. Hopefully you’ll have fun too. You can follow our gameplay on @mintiphresh​ and @lea-fey​ (pronounced “minty fresh” and “leafy”)!

wow
The whole Reframing Britney Spears special and the subsequent conversations around it is reminding me how absolute vile early millennium celebrity gossip culture was, and how it completely dehumanized Spears and other women until it literally made them ill or even killed them. And how much that probably fucked with my-and other millennials’- heads and perceptions of fame and the world, and how women should be treated in the media.
Like, there’s two clips going viral right now about the whole thing that I think sum that whole time period up- the first is an interview Spears had with Diane Sawyer where Sawyer just tears into this obviously struggling woman like she’s a politician or a criminal or something. She’s a pop star, not a member of congress. And Sawyer’s doing shit like reaming her out for ‘breaking Justin Timberlake’s heart (which- that aged well, huh?)’ and justifying the then first lady of Maryland saying  “Really, if I had an opportunity to shoot Britney Spears, I think I would” at domestic violence prevention conference with “ “It’s because of the example for kids and how hard it is to be a parent.” Like, are you kidding me? 
(This is nothing to say of Sawyer’s other infamous celebrity interview around the same time-Whitney Houston- another woman who was clearly ill and needed treatment, not a tv piece with an interviewer who could barely restrain the contempt for her. “Oh well Houston was clearly lying about not doing drugs!” Yeah? Who gives a shit? That doesn’t mean Sawyer handles her with the same gloves she’d handle a member of the Bush Administration about it. At what point does a journalist decide the “newsworthiness” of an interview is less important than the mental wellbeing of its subject?)
And then there’s the clip of Craig Ferguson that’s also big right now where, three days after Spears shaved her head, he says ‘I’m not gonna make fun of this young woman who is clearly ill and neither should you, because we all helped make her sick through our consumption of her.’ In it he mentions the recent death of Anna Nicole Smith, and people in the audience laugh. They laugh at a woman dying and leaving behind a 4 month old. And Ferguson kind of catches it with a look, but keeps going on with his monologue, and it just made me so sad for all of those women that the only person in the media who openly took pity on them and supported them was a comedian who’s in recovery himself. That no one else extended any empathy or reflection about their role in making Britney Spears, Whitney Houston, or Anna Nicole Smith sick (Or any of the other women they chewed up and spit out- Lindsey Lohan and Mischa Barton come to mind.).
I know there’s a lot of hand wringing about social media and how vicious the internet is to women-both famous and not-but I actually think it’s better now than it was then. Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez are both bipolar, and Lovato’s also struggled with drugs. Can you imagine if they’d gone through that in 2005? Or if Taylor Swift had her anorexia and paralyzing chronic anxiety when US Weekly was the most powerful piece of PR? One of them would probably be the new Britney Spears or Lindsey Lohan. 
I don’t want to minimize the effect social media and celebrity culture has on young people, especially young women and girls, now. I think there is a danger in the fact that it’s always available on tap and that anyone can be famous so we should all try to look like famous women. But there just isn’t the same industry dedicated to rapturously following every move of, then shifting into judging, before finally absolutely destroying famous women for entertainment and then selling that destruction to regular women as both entertainment consumption and a morality warning. I’ve seen a lot of people in their late teens/early 20s tweet stuff like “How did Diane Sawyer get away with that interview???” or “Why didn’t those paparazzi get arrested for trespassing or being really dangerous??” and it’s like, babies. We cheered them on.  
Truly, the end of that era is one of the good things brought about by the internet. An absolutely wretched decade.

THROUGH A RAPIST’S EYES” (PLS TAKE TIME TO READ THIS. It may save a life, It may save your life.)
An Article from Neena Susan Thomas
“Through a rapist’s eyes. A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interview…ed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:
1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid, or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.
2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who’s clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.
3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.
4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.
5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.
6] Number three is public restrooms.
7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don’t have to worry about getting caught.
8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn’t worth it because it will be time-consuming.
9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.
10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you’re not worth it.
POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:
1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk: can’t believe it is so cold out here, we’re in for a bad winter. Now that you’ve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.
2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they’d leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.
3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.
4] If someone grabs you, you can’t beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit or in the upper inner thigh – HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.
5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy’s parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you’ll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he’s out of there.
6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.
7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don’t dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel little silly at the time, but you’d feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.
FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL ….
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.
2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you…. chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.
5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:
a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) .
b. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
c. Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).
7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!
8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked “for help” into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.
Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it’s better safe than sorry.
If u have compassion reblog this post. ‘Helping hands are better than Praying Lips’ – give us your helping hand.
REBLOG THIS AND LET EVERY GIRL KNOW AT LEAST PEOPLE WILL KNOW WHATS GOING ON IN THIS WORLD. So please reblog this….Your one reblog can Help to spread this information.
THIS COULD ACTUALLY SAVE A LIFE.”
