Taylor Swift Eras themed Legacy Challenge

i wanted to put together two of my favorite things: the sims and Taylor Swift. so i came up with this 10 generation legacy challenge in which each generation is inspired by a different album. I created this challenge for the sims 2 ultimate collection since that is the game i normally play, but i am sure it can be adapted for sims 3 or sims 4. i also implemented the traits project for ts2 but you can easily do the challenge without it using different personality points. i set up this challenge so that each generation alternates genders but you can switch that up. i also chose first names for each generation based on references of the album. also some of the writing is very cheesy and has a lot of references because why not go crazy. this is my first legacy challenge so if you have any critiques let me know. the rules are not strict and cheats can be used as its a story-based challenge.

Debut- Gen 1: Mary

“Take me home where we met so many years before.

We'll rock our babies on that very front porch: After all this time, you and I”

You grew up in a small town where everyone knew each other. Your parents never had the greatest relationship and your mom was always with her best friend. Since birth you and her kid have been inseparable. Will you fall into the same patterns as your parents…or will you find a place in this world?

family/romance

LTW: reach golden anniversary

nurturing, jealous, loves the outdoors, great kisser, family oriented

marry your first love

have 2 children (at least one son)

formal wear is a little black dress

Fearless- Gen 2: Stephen

“You played in bars, you play guitar

I'm invisible and everyone knows who you are”

Your parents raised you well but something about the fact that they only ever knew each other scares you. You want to get out there and make a name for yourself. You know no ones coming for you on their white horse. You’ll have to be fearless to become a superstar: but for now all you have is your mothers eyes and her old guitar.

fortune/pleasure

virtuoso, charismatic, irresistible, ambitious, non-committal

LTW: become rock god

go on at least 5 first dates

have at least one daughter

date a fan

Speak now- Gen 3: Emma

“When Emma falls apart, it's when she's alone

She takes on the pain and bears it on her own”

You often felt overlooked by your rockstar father. He was always busy and you spent most of your time with your mother until her mysterious disappearance. You feel like you grew up too fast, and now you love to travel back to your youth and fantasize about castles and dragons. So you become an actress; a character. Will you break out of your fathers famously destructive patterns, or will you regain your balance on the tightrope and break out before fire can catch you?

popularity/romance

LTW: Become Icon

natural born performer, childish, bookworm, shy, hopeless romantic

your first love doesn't work out/ you break their heart

have at least one son

have a strained relationship with your father but a good relationship with your mother

meet your true love at a party and then never see eachother again

Red- Gen 4: Bobby

“How you took the money and your dignity, and got the hell out

They say you bought a bunch of land somewhere

Chose the rose garden over Madison Square”

You grew up in the starlight of your mothers fame. You two were always close but after suffering from the tabloids and the camera flashes you decide this life is not for you. You move out of the Angel City and start anew. Your mother has given you some funds and you build up a family home. You tell everyone you left because the city wasn’t right for you… but maybe it was partly to run from your playboy/girl ex who you know was trouble. Now you spend your life painting and searching for your muse. Will you stay paralyzed by time or finally begin again?

Knowledge/family

LTW: become visionary

artistic, eco friendly, night owl, loves the cold, loner

Have an on and off toxic relationship

Move out of your parents house

Settle down with someone nice

Have 3 children (at least one girl)

1989- Gen 5: Love

“You searched the world for somethin' else

To make you feel like what we had

And in the end, in Wonderland, we both went mad”

You grew up secluded from the world, surrounded by your mothers paintings. Your mom loved the environment but you couldn’t wait to get out of the woods and explore new places. Somewhere along the road, you fell into a rabbit hole of insanity: mascara running in the bathroom and rose gardens filled with thorns. You blow money and string lovers along. You have fantastic delusions until your wildest dreams turn into nightmares. Will you accept the help from your family and abandon your affinity for screaming, crying and perfect storms? Or will every day continue to be a battle?

knowledge/pleasure

LTW: Become space pirate

Insane, unstable, diva, adventurous, jealous

Join the adventurer career

Have 3 loves at once

Have children with multiple people (one must be boy/girl twins)

Lose money in poker

Reputation- Gen 6: Burton (the name is so bad help)

“I don't like your kingdom keys

They once belonged to me

You asked me for a place to sleep

Locked me out and threw a feast”

Yeah, your mother may have done a number on you, but who's counting? Maybe your twin sister… Everything you did, she just had to do better. In the wake of your mother’s madness, you turned to dancing. You found peace in swaying as the room burnt down. Your twin sister on the other hand hated how you were lit up every room you walked into, but you couldn’t help it. There's nothing she hates more than what she can't have… so she turned to sabotage. Just when you think that your life is perfect- you're at the top of your career and you finally found love- your sister starts a rumor that you cheated on your love. Your reputation as a famous dancer goes down in seconds. But to your surprise, your lover isn't reading what they call you lately and your relationship is stronger than ever. Will you get revenge on your sister and become exactly what you despise, or sit back and let karma take over?

Popularity/romance

LTW: Become world class ballerina

Party animal, irresistible, social butterfly, hot headed, unlucky

Be enemies with your twin sister

Never be unfaithful

Have a bad reputation

Have at least one daughter

Lover- Gen 7: Cornelia

“I’d be a fearless leader, I'd be an alpha type

When everyone believes ya, what's that like?”

You've always known you wanted to change the world. Who cares if you were overlooked and discouraged. Snakes and stones won’t break your bones. You never had a big family as your father walked away from his. Sometimes it gets lonely trusting the wicked, and your loyalty was often a fault. You turn to politics to combat your feelings of helplessness, but no one takes you seriously and you feel lost in the light. You have to start from the ground up with the help of your best friend. You start to build your picture-perfect life: the kids, the lyrical smiles and the power. Will you drive away your lover by searching for their dark side, or will you put aside your ways and find the daylight?

Popularity/family

LTW: Become mayor

Good, easily impressed, brave, unlucky, perfectionist

Fall in love with your best friend

Have 10 best friends

Have children (at least one son)

Folklore- Gen 8: James

“I had the shiniest wheels, now they're rusting

I didn't know if you'd care if I came back

I have a lot of regrets about that”

You grew up trying to meet the expectations of your politician mother. Everything had to be picture perfect, even your private life. So she set you up with the daughter of one of the most powerful families in town, Betty. At first you are skeptical, but over time you fall for her integrity and affinity for old cardigans. Along the way you begin to feel stuck, tired of the sensual politics and your mother’s watchful eye. That's when you meet August -the polar opposite of Betty- and some part of you has to know what she is like. You meet in parking lots and dive bars, but after Betty finds out, you realize that summer is dwindling. In wake of losing two girls, you turn to writing: poetry and sad prose. You get lost in your stories, but once you start to gain traction, you can’t help but wonder how different your life could have been. Will you rekindle your wild flame with August or go back to the peace you felt with Betty?

knowledge/ romance

LTW: Publish 5,000$ best seller*

Great kisser, coward, bookworm, brooding, commitment issues

Fall in love with Betty

Fall in love with August

Confess to cheating on Betty

Write novels

Move into a cottage by a lake

Finally choose the one girl

Have at least one daughter with her

Evermore- Gen 9: Ivy

“And the skeletons in both our closets

Plotted hard to fuck this up

And the old men that I’ve swindled

Really did believe I was the one”

You always resented your father because he abandoned the good life for a cottage in the woods and his stories. You don’t want that; you want power and wealth. You don't need love, just a fancy car. So you turn to crime, because it’s easy for you; you love the gold rush. You con men and no one will ever prove it. You marry rich men and inherit their money when their time runs out. But then one day you meet your match, a fellow criminal, and wonder if this life will really bring you happiness. But you realized this a little too late, and now you're forced to drink your husband's wine… but he was the wrong guy. Will you leave the life of crime behind or will you stay frozen in time?

Fortune/pleasure

LTW: Gold digger

Kleptomaniac, genius, charismatic, mean-spirited, rebellious

Go into the criminal career

Marry a rich sim

Fall in love with a criminal and have an affair

Have a son

Midnights- Gen 10: Snow

“And I don't dress for villains

Or for innocents

I'm on my vigilante shit again”

You knew your mom wasn’t the most ethically-correct person. You like to think you inherited her better half; but that isn’t entirely true. You are determined to be different, so you become a spy; you get the satisfaction of working for the good guys and the pleasure that comes with great wars. Being a spy is difficult though, and you never know when things could go wrong. You are constantly burning files and deserting old lives. But you’re a mastermind, nobody can deny that. You finally meet your perfect person, but it's hard concealing your true occupation from them. You have money and respect… But can all of that pay for someone to just know you?

Fortune/knowledge

LTW: Become head of the SCIA

Perceptive, disciplined, loner, proper, daredevil

Join the intelligence career

Move homes at least twice

The rest is up to you since it is the last generation

*50 new LTW mod can be found here

Folklore Legacy Challenge

Hey Ya'll! I've been working on this one for a little while and I can't wait to share it with you! It's a 16 + 1 generation legacy challenge for the Sims 4 based off of Taylor Swifts album Folklore! There aren't many solid rules for this one, I mostly just want ya'll to have fun and play it in a way that makes sense to you. That being said: - Mods and cheats are ok to use (I even encourage it). - Each Gen must have at least one child to play as the next heir. - I have used lots of packs in making this, you will need: City Living, Cats and Dogs, High School Years, Get Together, Crystal Creations, For Rent, Outdoor Retreat, Island Living, Dream Home Decorator, Parenthood, Discover University, Dine Out, Stranger Ville, Get Famous, Spa Day, Growing Together + more that I've probably forgotten. - If you do not have the required packs, feel free to change what you need to as long as it is somewhat similar to the original.

Gen 10: Illicit Affairs

In the courtroom's halls, you weave tales of justice as a private attorney. Driven by wanderlust and a fear of commitment, marriage comes swiftly, but it's the thrill of forbidden affairs that ignites your passion.

Traits - Non-Committal, Advenutrist, Clumsy

Gen 11: Invisible String

You always dreamed of sizzling pans and crafting culinary delights, a romantic at heart with a green thumb to match.

Gen 11: Mad Woman

Betrayed in your youth by those you trusted the most, you harbour scars deep as loyalty binds you to your cause. You ascend the ranks of the criminal underworld, fueled by anger and an unyielding pursuit of justice and vengeance. Marriage offers solace, yet the thirst for retribution remains, driving you relentlessly until old age grants the serenity you seek.

Career - Criminal (Boss)

Spend the rest of your adult life trying to get revenge.

Marry a friend.

Only find peace/let go as an elder.

Gen 12: Epiphany

Straight out of high school to the covert operations of the military, you excel, driven by duty and a longing to provide for your family. Medals adorn your chest, earned through dedication and sacrifice. Love finds you in the arms of a medical professional, but shadows linger, as memories of battle haunt your days, a silent reminder of the price of service.

Career - Military (Covert Operator)

Join the military immediately after finishing highschool.

Retire/quit your job as soon as you earn all available medals.

Date and marry sim with the medical career.

Live with PTSD (you can use a mod for this)

Gen 14: Betty

Your high school romance blossoms into marriage, yet jealousy festers, leading to a massive indiscretion that fractures the trust you’ve built. Amidst the wreckage, you strive to mend what's broken, seeking solace in weekly garden dates as you navigate the rocky terrain of love. In the digital realm, you thrive as a freelancer, coding with confidence and a hint of cringe-worthy humour.

Unable to make friends, you shed the burden of high school to focus on working toward your dream job and pursue the limelight. Amidst the glittering lights of fame, you still struggle to find your place and people in the world. Eventually, love finds you in the presence of an outgoing spirit, but as stardom ascends, so does the weight of its demands, testing your quest for inner peace amidst the chaos of stardom.

Born amidst the urban hustle of San Myshuno, your artistic soul yearns for expression amidst the city's chaos. Love's path proves rocky, a journey of unfulfilled connections and shattered dreams. Seeking solace in a fresh start, you depart the city's embrace, yet the ghost of past loves haunts your brushstrokes, forever captured in the vivid hues of your yearning canvases.

Grow up in San Myshuno.

Be in a long-term, unfilling relationship with sim you have bad compatibility with. Eventually break up.

Move out of San Myshuno to get a fresh start.

Never get over one of your previous relationships and spend the rest of your life yearning to have it back.

(Bonus) Gen 17: The Lakes

Amidst the rustle of leaves and the whisper of pages, you find your muse as a writer, enchanted by the dance of words and the embrace of nature. Poetry flows from you, a testament to your romantic soul. Holidays are cherished escapes, moments of tranquillity by the water's edge, fueling your creative spirit. Yet, it's in solitude that your greatest works are born, a testament to your dedication to the craft.

Career - Writer (Author)

Traits - Romantic, Bookworm, Loves Outdoors

Aspiration - Bestselling Author

Only write poetry (unless specified for the aspiration)

Go on Holiday with your spouse and family often, staying as close to a body of water as you can get.

Complete the gemstone collection.

Leave the world behind for a period of time to focus on writing (completely alone)

The Sims 4 Taylor Swift Eras Challenge

Dear Reader,

It’s me! Hi! Welcome!

I sometimes fancy myself as a Mastermind. I had an idea of making a new Sims 4 legacy challange based on Taylor Swift’s Eras. First things first, I googled if something like it exist. I found @gillysims “Swiftacy” challenge and it was really awesome! (Tumblrhttps://gillysims.tumblr.com › postthe sims 4: swiftacy a 10 generation swiftie legacy challenge - Gillysims) We basically had the same idea but I still wanted to make the stories in my head happen. I decided there is no harm in trying. I could still make my own. So you might find a bit of similarities in our challenges. I also combined it with a little of @lilsimsie ‘s “Not-so-Berry” challenge. (Tumblrhttps://lilsimsie.tumblr.com › postNot So Berry Legacy Challenge - lilsimsie - Tumblr) I hope I didn’t do something bad and that it’s not forbidden or something.

I cooked it up in my head. I based every generation to a Taylor Swift era and songs from the corresponding album to make a story for each sim. I have no idea if the challenges are doable in one normal sim lifespan but hey, this is me trying. 😅

If you’d like to try it out for yourself please go ahead and don’t forget to share your experience and insights to me. Or if not, I guess I’m on my own, kid. #ts4TSeraslegacy

P.S. sorry for all the Taylor Swift puns. 😅

Eras Legacy Challenge

Inspiration

Story and rule based legacy challenges like Not So Berry, Disney Princess, crybaby whims, etc. are some of my favorite ways to play and watch the Sims. When I saw crybaby whims, which is inspired by Melanie Martinez songs, I had this idea for a Taylor Swift legacy where every generation is an album and each song has a corresponding objective to complete.

Rules

Your goal each generation is to complete your aspiration, max the selected skills, and complete all listed objectives.

I recommend playing on Normal lifespan. If you have MCCC, I specifically recommend going in and setting the adult length to 50 days and elder to 42 days as the game’s natural lengths make these life states unrealistically short. That’s not particularly relevant to this challenge specifically other than that the in game adult and elder lengths break my immersion in legacy style gameplay.

This is a story based challenge, so cheats are fine if they are within the confines of the story (though if you cheat up skills and aspirations, what’s really the point?)

You must complete the goals in each generation, but you’re free to complete the goals of multiple generations simultaneously.

Any traits not specified by the rules are up to you, and traits specified by the rules can be replaced by modded traits that have similar vibes. If you have child or teen specific traits, feel free to use those and add the generation specific traits as a young adult

If the challenge specifies traits for love interests or other non-legacy sims, feel free to modify traits of in game sims or create your own sims accordingly or wait until you find a sim with the correct traits in the world.

You’re free to develop any skills, create any drama, do any careers or aspirations not included in the rules as long as you also complete the goals of the generation.

For storylines where non-legacy sims’ actions are important, use mods or cheats to control them, switch households temporarily, or pretend in your brain.

Use whatever mods bring you joy. A few are suggested in the rules, but there are so many great ones out there that will enhance your gameplay. Or, if you don’t want to use mods, don’t, and for objectives that rely on mods, skip them, or modify them however works best for you

If a plot line may be triggering for you, it’s totally fine to skip that objective or objectives.

_______________________________________________________________________

Gen 1: Debut

“And I don't try to hide my tears/ My secrets or my deepest fears / Through it all, nobody gets me like you do”

TW: One of the objectives of this generation relates to eating disorders

Overview

Unlike most legacy challenges, you start this first generation as a child. Your family can take any form you’d like.

Colors: Blue, Green, Teal

Traits: Loner and Romantic (or similar modded traits)

Aspiration: Soulmate

Skills: Guitar, Charisma, Romance (lumpinou’s Road to Romance mod)

Story

You’ve never quite fit in, and maybe that’s why you seek love so desperately. Your child, teen, and young adult years are a series of unsuccessful romantic entanglements (at least 3). Some explode, some fizzle, and some never manage to burn, but all are guiding you in the end to the one (oops, wrong album). Your best friend has been by your side all along, through your lonely childhood, through your turbulent teen years, figuring young adulthood out alongside you as you become roommates. They shine so brightly that you’ve never considered them an option (or maybe you have, but the timing’s never been right, or something else has been in the way), but you know them well enough to know they struggle a lot behind closed doors. Eventually, something changes, and your feelings for each other, growing under the surface for all these years, bloom. You fall in love, get married, live happily ever after. (Or have a lovely platonic life partnership until you die).

Objectives

I’m Only Me When I’m With You - Have a best friend you meet as a child, move in together as soon as you become young adults (or go to university together)

A Place in this World, The Outside - Your only friend other than family members and romantic interests during your child and teen years is your best friend

Tied Together with a Smile - Your best friend has an eating disorder, start playing this storyline from when you move in together. How it is handled and resolved is up to you. (recommend Kuttoe’s Lifetime Quirks mod or adeepindigo’s sim image mod)

Tim McGraw - Take a vacation to any world (ideally during summer if you have seasons), meet someone there, have a brief romance, and never talk to them after the vacation ends. (If you have the First Love mod by littlemssam, this can also be as a child)

Invisible, Teardrops On My Guitar - Maintain low level romance (is it unrequited love or are they leading you on) with someone with a partner. You can allow this to fade with time if you marry someone else, develop into a real relationship if the sim is your best friend, or blow up into one of the other impermanent relationships

Cold As You - Have a relationship with (achieve boyfriend or girlfriend status) someone with the mean or evil trait

Stay Beautiful - Have a relationship with (achieve boyfriend or girlfriend status) someone with the outgoing or charming (KiaraSims mod) trait

Our Song - As a teen, keep a relationship secret from your parents, sneak out past curfew to go on dates with them

A Perfectly Good Heart - Be dumped by first partner

Should’ve Said No - Be cheated on and find out about it from someone else, or by catching them in the act

Picture To Burn - Achieve enemy status with one ex

Mary’s Song (Oh My My My) - Marry your childhood best friend and stay together for the rest of your lives (or don’t marry them and live in a platonic life partnership together)

Beautiful Eyes Bonus

Beautiful Eyes - There is something distinct or unique about your best friend/eventual partner’s eyes (odd color, heterochromia, etc.)

I Heart ? - Get a tattoo after one of your breakups

I’d Lie - Best friend’s favorite color is green, they must reach research and debate level 6 and guitar level 6

*note: any of the relationship rules can overlap (e.g. having a partner who’s both mean and outgoing) as long as you have three different failed romances/romantic entanglements (including romances using littlemisssam’s First Love mod and flirtations that never reach the level of girlfriend/boyfriend)

_______________________________________________________________________

Gen 2: Fearless (Taylor’s Version)

“This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town / I was a dreamer before you went and let me down”

Overview

Colors: Gold, Beige, Tan

Traits: Brave (by KiaraSims), Ambitious

Aspiration: Choose any other than romance or family

Skills: Choose any one 10-level skill (or two 5-level skills)

Story

You have big dreams, clear goals, neat plans, but for some reason, you keep letting romance get in the way. You love and idolize your parents, especially your mother (or parent of choice if you have a number of mothers that does not equal one), and is it really so bad to want the fairytale they had? Probably, because you keep dropping everything you’re working for when you think you’ve found the one (still wrong album, I promise this isn’t an intentional running joke; it just keeps coming up), first for your high school love, which sweet as it is, comes to its natural end when high school is over, and then for a spouse whose love is intoxicating and chaotic and as thrilling as it is painful. Your separation and eventual divorce are as messy as the relationship, and in the aftermath, you have to learn what it is you want, and how to find a love that doesn’t hurt you, someone who believes you shine as brightly as they do (and as a celebrity, they shine pretty brightly unless you Turn Off Fame Shine). With all this kissing in the rain and leaving in the fog and reuniting in the thunderstorm, it’s time you become the sun.

Objectives

The Best Day - You and your mom (or parent of choice if you don’t have a mother) are best friends. You go out together just the two of you once a week starting when you become a toddler and continuing until your mother (or parent) dies

You Belong With Me - As a teen, you’re a band geek. I recommend using a mod like KiaraSims’ that adds band as an after school activity, but you can also just have band geek vibes. Reach level 3 of an instrument by the time you age up to young adult

Fearless, Hey Stephen - Have all your first kisses in the rain

Fifteen - You have big dreams (choose a skill, a career, and an aspiration), but you also have a romance, and as a teen, love takes precedent. Do not make any move toward your dreams (by working on the skill, by working hard in school or applying to university, or by completing aspiration milestones) from the time you get into a relationship until you break up with your high school love as you age from teen to young adult

Tell Me Why - Marry someone with the hot headed or mean trait

Love Story - Your parents do not originally like your to-be spouse (cheat this so the relationship is at -50 upon meeting), and before you can get married, your partner must win your parents’ approval (at least +25 friendship with all living parents) and successfully ask permission to propose (I recommend MissyHissy’s Ask For Blessing To Marry Overhaul for this)

White Horse - Give up your dream (a career, skill of choice, and aspiration) for your spouse and your children (by quitting the career, not working on the skill at all, and by switching to either the soulmate aspiration or any family aspiration while you are married)

Forever and Always - Your spouse leaves you shortly after you become an adult (not divorcing or breaking up. If you have lumpinou’s RPO mod, have them request a separation. If not, just have them move out)

Come In With The Rain, You’re Not Sorry, The Other Side of the Door - After the separation, your spouse wants to work on your marriage, and you agree (recommend lumpinou’s RPO and Road to Romance mod for this), but the distance has made you realize the way your spouse’s behavior is unacceptable, and after your spouse cheats on you, you ultimately decide to get a divorce

Breathe - Rebuild your life after getting divorced from the person you thought was your soulmate. You can pick up the skill, career, and aspiration that were your dream when you were a young adult, or you can pick a new dream (change any or all of the skill, career, aspiration). Reach level 6 of the career, max the skill, and complete the aspiration

Change - After all your children are teens or older, you take up activism. Switch into or join the politics career and level up to at least the charity organizer branch. Work this job until you choose to retire

The Way I Loved You - After all the turbulence of your marriage and divorce, all you want is stability. The next person you have romance with needs to have the Neat trait or the Good trait

Today Was A Fairytale - Get married as an elder to the person you’ll spend the rest of your life with

Jump Then Fall - Your final love, the person you’ll marry as an elder and be with for the rest of your life, must have freckles

Untouchable, Superstar - Your final love, the person you’ll marry as an elder and be with for the rest of your life, must be a celebrity

From the Vault Bonus

We Were Happy - The person you date as a teen lives on a farm

Gen 3: Speak Now

“I was a flight risk, with a fear of falling / Wondering why we bother with love, if it never lasts”

Overview

The objectives of this generation have much less of a fixed chronology than the previous two. If you want convince a guy to leave his fiancé at the alter, just to leave him again for your passionate one night stand, that’s a choice you can make. If you want to find your forever person early and only break up your ex’s wedding because you don’t trust the vibes, that’s also fine. You don’t even have to have a forever person this generation if you don’t want to. Also, remember one person can fulfill multiple requirements. The passionate one night stand can be the unhealthy relationship with an adult if that’s how you set it up, and that goes for any requirements. If you can find a way to overlap them, then they’re allowed to be overlapped.

Colors: Red, Purple

Traits: Jealous, Restless (by Kuttoe) or Impulsive (by Vicky Sims)

Aspiration: Bestselling Author

Skills: Writing

Story

Your parents’ toxic relationship has soured you toward love, and while some might call you flighty, you’d say cautious. After all, it’s always safest to be the first to leave. Sometimes, though, leaving leaves you with regrets. And sometimes, those regrets lead you to interrupt your ex’s wedding to your childhood bully. Ultimately, no matter what you do to protect yourself, you cannot avoid pain just like you cannot avoid love, and all the little heartbreaks you endure and cause are testament to both. When you lose the greatest love of your life, you give up on romance all together. At least all the melodrama is good inspiration, and you write romance novels, one for each love affair, winning a starlight accolade for one of them.

Objectives

Mean - As a child and teen, you have a bully

Mine - You are very cautious in love. You can only become officially boyfriend or girlfriend with someone after you’ve achieved soulmate status, and if you notice a want to ask someone to be a boyfriend or girlfriend before then (and try to pay attention to the wants), you must immediately stop talking to that person and cheat the relationship to the negative of what it is (so if the relationship was 50 friendship and 30 romance, you would cheat it to be -50 friendship and -30 romance). If anyone asks you to be boyfriend/girlfriend before you’re soulmates, you must say no. You must have and leave at least one romantic interest in such a way. If neither situation occurs, find another justification for leaving

Enchanted - Using WonderfulWhims and lumpinou’s First Impressions mod, you meet a person that you consider attractive with positive first impressions on both sides. You talk briefly, and then you go your separate ways. If you bump into each other again, this person is exempt from the “Mine” rule. This can happen at any point in the story and be a healthy or unhealthy relationship (after all, some relationships are better to leave)

Dear John - When you are newly a young adult (within a week of aging up), have an unhealthy relationship with an adult sim (how it is unhealthy is up to you)

Sparks Fly - Have a passionate one night stand with someone with the noncommittal trait resulting in a child

Back to December - You must make amends with one of the people you left and return the relationship to at least good friends status

Better Than Revenge - Your child/teen bully is dating an ex. Get revenge for it, by playing pranks, by being mean or fighting, by performing voodoo, by talking down about them to people, or any other means of making their life miserable that you can think of

Speak Now - As your ex is preparing to marry your child/teen bully, you realize you still love that ex and want to be with them (alternatively, you just don’t think the wedding is a good match and are trying to help). Interrupt the wedding by revealing your feelings before any vows are exchanged (this does not necessarily have to be successful)

Innocent - Make up with your child/teen bully and achieve at least friend status with them

Ours - Your most serious relationship is with someone somehow deemed unacceptable by society (perhaps a criminal, perhaps someone poor, perhaps someone punk or otherwise counterculture, perhaps someone visibly queer)

Superman - You do not have a traditional career. You stay home and look after your children and write books while your partner, if you have one, works a standard job

The Story of Us - You write romance novels, one for each failed relationship

Long Live - You must win a starlight accolade for one of your books

Never Grow Up - You are overprotective of your children. They have the earliest set curfew, but you don’ t actually discipline them when they break rules, only praise them when they’re good

Haunted, Last Kiss, If This Was a Movie - If you’re looking for a little classic sims chaos, either your spouse, or, if you never get married, your most serious adult relationship, becomes a vampire or werewolf during adulthood and leaves you after some aspect of their supernatural life hurts or scares you. If you’re looking for more realistic gameplay or you don’t have those packs, that sim dies unexpectedly during adulthood. Either way, you never move on and don’t pursue romance again.

Gen 4: Red (Taylor’s Version)

“There is something to be said for being young and needing someone so badly, you jump in head first without looking. And there’s something to be learned from waiting all day for a train that’s never coming. And there’s something to be proud of about moving on and realizing that real love shines golden like starlight.”

As Taylor Swift describes in the liner notes for Red, red relationships are “The ones that went from zero to a hundred miles per hour and then hit a wall and exploded. And it was awful.
