The dos and don'ts of painting your kitchen

From using a primer to the type of roller, here are some very helpful tips for painting your kitchen and avoiding costly mistakes!

When it comes to painting your kitchen, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. First and foremost, find a reliable and reputable painter or decorator to do the job. This is key to ensuring a good finish and a paint job that lasts.

Second, make sure you choose the right paint for the job. There are hundreds of different types of paints available in a multitude of finishes, so be sure to ask for advice from your local store or ask the decorator to help you find one that is right for your kitchen. Kitchens typically require special paint, one that withstands high levels of humidity. Did you know that 70% of households have mould?! Mould can be found in up to 9% of Terraced houses, 18% of Nurseries and Schools, and 26% of Hospitals, Outpatient clinics, and Nursing homes.

Be mindful of oil damage when painting your kitchen. Oil can seep into walls and cause long-term damage, so it's important to take the necessary precautions to avoid this. Choosing a paint that can handle grease and oil is super important. You also need to think about painting over oil-based paint with water-based paint as it will lead to seeping and stain like patches. Using a primer first will eliminate this problem, you'll know when you've sufficiently covered the wall when the old colour is no longer visible.

Thirdly, keep in mind that kitchens need repainting more often than other rooms in the house due to the high amount of traffic, grease and oil build-up. Statistics show that on average, a kitchen needs repainting every two to three years.

Do prep your surfaces with sugar soap to remove dirt and grease which will definitely give you a better finish and could help you avoid multiple coats.

Don't use a brush if you can avoid it, rollers are best for a smooth airbrush like finish and come in a bunch of different sizes,shapes and textures so you can get the same quality finish for even the tiniest of areas. Be sure to get the right type of roller as again, there are different rollers for different surfaces and using the wrong one can result in a bad finish. This is something you also want to splash the cash on, as buying a cheap paint roller will leave small lumps of fluff in your beautiful paint job, luckily they aren't that expensive and can be washed out with washing up liquid and reused. A time saving tip is to store a used roller in a plastic bag overnight if you wish to continue with the same colour the next day.

Do be sure to use masking tape to cut in along edges, windows, doors and between the wall and ceiling. Be careful when choosing which type of masking tape to use as there are also various types. Choose the weakest one or one specific for interior wall painting so you don't peel the paint off the wall when you've finished but it's important to remember that it's there as a guide and not to completely cover in paint, doing that will not end well!

Finally, do cover floors and furniture as well as wear old clothes and cover your hair because trust me, paint can end up in the most unexpected of places…

How much paint do I need?

Knowing just how much paint you need is a tricky one as it depends on the condition of your walls to begin with, what colour you're painting over, the size of the room and how many coats you need to do. You can use this handy paint guide to figure out roughly how much paint you should buy for your particular room size.

By following these simple tips, you can ensure that your kitchen painting project goes off without a hitch!

Don't forget you can book a painter, decorator or local tradesperson in minutes with the Bokafix app. Read more and get fixting!

When you aren’t breaking hearts, you curing animals in the little vet clinic you made yourself.

You were an only child, and you loved it! You were always the most important, and you loved it! In fact, You loved it so much that you never wanted the attention to go away. You’ve always loved art, right? So, you start recording videos of painting and stream it. You actually become quite popular. Sure, you still have to work as a freelancer to live comfortably, but that just gives you more freedom to stream, record, and edit. You meet someone, and get along great. A few years after you marry them, though, you both realize you aren’t meant for eachother. You split up on good terms, and stay friends. Eventually you do find the one, and you are ecstatic.

Gen 10: Sweet Pea- Goodbye

Aspiration: Party Animal Traits: - Dance Machine - Outgoing - Good

You don’t know why, but all your life you’ve felt like something was ending. Like a book was about to close. There was always this feeling in the pit of your stomach. While many may let this get them down, you don’t. If the world is going to end, your going to live your life to the fullest. Who said the end of the world can’t be fun? You spend your life laughing and smiling. You do your best to help others as well. You give away a lot of the money your family has made over the generations to charity. When you aren’t partying you’re volunteering. You decide that, if everything is going to end, your going to do your damndest to make the world a better place beforehand.

Goals:

Complete aspiration

Get level 10 Charisma

Complete politician career (Charity organizer)

Volunteer a lot

Host at least one charity event (You can host one by getting a great reputation)

Notes:

This is just for fun! If you don’t complete the entire challenge or miss a couple goals that’s fine, as long as you have fun! I’m not going to hurt you if you do something wrong. Feel free to add extra drama or goals if you want!

I’m pretty sure if you have high charisma skill you are able to talk to celebrities.

You can have a “long-distance relationship” by chatting on the computer with the other sim and sending love emails (unlocked around level 3/4 of the writing skill)

Sims with the goofball trait can die from laughter, but there are many other ways to kill a sim.

To make ambrosia you need a death flower, angelfish, and potion of youth. You can find ways to get the ingredients if you google it, but i don’t mind if you cheat for the ingredients just this once. Getting level 10 in both cooking and gourmet cooking is hard enough, lol.

Also, for the 8th generation, If you go to live on student housing or dorms in university any pictures in your household inventory will turn blank, and any business ran by sims in you household will no longer be yours when you get back. Just letting you know!

If you have any issues, then please tell me! I haven’t tested this challenge out yet, so if something is impossible I’ll try to fix it! This was a lot of fun to make! :)

Elements Legacy Challenge

Welcome to the Elements Legacy Challenge Rules Sheet! (Wow, what a long introductory phrase!)

This challenge, as you’ll see, is heavily inspired by lilsimsie and alwayssimming’s Not So Berry Challenge (click here to read the rules). It’s evident that the format of the color coded generations & generation’s goals system wasn’t invented by me, but I wanted to make it clear anyway. I hope no one feels offended by the idea behind this challenge. I created this one out of boredom and good intentions! 💛

Basically each generation has its own color(s), material and style. Each one of these characteristics will have to be shown through your Sim’s aesthetic and/or in their house. However, if you don’t want to make a golden dressed Sim, but you’d like to give them a super tacky house, go for it! What matters is that these given characteristics are visible somewhere, even just a room or an object. The colors and materials for each gen are just a starting point, you can add whatever color or texture you like to them! Each generation has a few worlds they can live in, you can only choose among those listed for each gen.

As for money, the first gen is the only one with specified starting funds. In the following ones you can choose if you want to keep the money your family has, or if you want to start with less money to make the gameplay more challenging 😊

Then, each generation has of course some tasks and aspirations to complete, some skills to max and other stuff to do! When you play a generation, be sure to take a look at the following one as well, because sometimes there will be things that need to be taken care of before the start of the following gen!

You can play in whatever lifespan you want. It's a new challenge for me, too, so I don't know what's the best one to use.

To play some of the gens, a couple of packs are kind of necessary, like: Cats and Dogs, Seasons, Discover University, Get Famous, Eco Lifestyle, Spa Day, Realm of Magic and Jungle Adventure. Get Together, Parenthood and others are also somewhat important but you can do it without them. If anyone's interested I can do a basegame compatible version of the challenge!😊

If the challenge becomes "popular", I'll add some more generations🤩

Have fun ✨🥰

1 Earth generation🌄

You’re new in town and don’t know anyone. The only thing that moves your heart is...art! In fact, you brought only your easel with you from your old place, and you hope to make a living out of the stuff you’ll create on that thing. But staying inside all day is not good for anyone, so sometimes you’ll accept your (new) friends invitations, and follow them wherever they take you. Sometimes, however, friends can really pressure you to do things you don’t want to, and this really annoys you! You get married too young and have a kid, only to divorce shortly after the baby is born. You just weren’t ready. When you finally decide to settle down and start a family again, you’ll marry a spellcaster just for their looks (WHAT?!) and you two will give birth to a lovely little kid!

You don’t have many friends, and your parents are your best friends, until they pass away together in mysterious circumstances. Therefore, you decide to move in with your closest friend from high school, and of course, as it happens with anyone you say more than a ‘hello’ to, you fall in love with them! But it looks like this time this is for real! After some ups and downs, you win them over (did you use a love potion? You didn’t?! You sure?) and you turn your roommates’ home in a place ready for a family. With a lot of cats. You also have just one child, who you love more than anybody else.

So you are determined to make a living out of vlogs, videos, videogames, juice fizzing and song recordings. You get married but your significant other can’t stand this lifestyle, so you get divorced. You adopt a kid to raise on your own in your little beach house. And you’re freaking HAPPY. Oh, another thing: one of the best memories you have is the one of your parents cooking together, so you want to learn how to make that grilled cheese they used to prepare for you.

Oh yeah. And you won’t stay home with that freak, you’re staying on campus. You will get a degree in Language and Literature, so that you can become a best-selling author. Unfortunately, having been so focused on your education, your love life is non-existent. So you think a meaningless fling could help you in that field but--OH NO. You get stuck with an unwanted pregnancy (even though you’ll never get married) and you have to leave campus and study between milk feeding and diaper changing.

You still love your family, and one of your siblings is basically your best friend, and always will be. You always organize a Winterfest lunch to reunite with your folks. You also like music and everyone has to know you love it, you know you’ll teach your kids how to play the violin. You climb the social ladder (or marble staircase?) till the TOP.

Part-time job after part-time job, you have a cute little house that you can call home. Another thing you become good at is photography, so you start working in the Freelance photography field, and you LOVE IT. You fall in love with one of your models and marry them.

biography.

born to two original hippies which hs pretty much set up who kira is fr the rest of her life <3 the type of ppl who didnt like the boundaries of marriage n held off frm it fr as long as possible until theyd hd a spur of the moment elopement involving a celebrity impersonator at fannie’s <3 yea theyre lesbians lets go <3

nvr rly took things srsly until kira ws like 5 yrs old n then they were like ah gee ah fuck we probably shld probably settle settle. n they job hopped n worked many odd jobs until they found their footing in careers they liked n one of them probably does like. blown glass art. n the other prob fixes old computers n other ~vintage~ mementos of the past fr ppl.

they make a decent living n they live in delpinius heights n they try a few times fr another kid bt it nvr rly works out (raises an eyebrow. adopted siblings anyone?) n fr the most part kira as a child spends her time running around town and tugging on the hem of other’s shirts to ask them small favors (mostly to play a game with her)

often left unsupervised as a kid, bt not in the way tht her parents dnt care (bc her parents love her a lot a lot a lot like she is their world) bt in the way tht they simply raised her the way they were raised. running amuck all day n coming home jst in time fr dinner, front porch light always on, cat always waiting faithfully on their stoop.

pretty evident frm a young age tht kira’s mind saw things differently, in a different light - the world an array of light n mystery n sound n taste n sometimes those collided n created new experiences. prob hs some form of synsthesia bt dnt ask me which one yet. she’s a painting prodigy with an excellent understanding of color theory.

always ws known as a kind of like. rambunctious kid. a well meaning class clown who cld nt keep her mouth shut fr the life of her. grew up constantly with a yellow card beneath her name in school bt ws always well liked by her teachers n classmates alike.

jst a very bright child who did well naturally bt always ws turned more towards art.

feel like her parents very noticeably turned a cheek when she started smoking weed w the cool older kids when she ws 13. the type of person who wnts 2 b liked so bad she’d jump over a hurdle fr it. hs jumped over many hurdles n many fences n many other obstacles to be liked bt does it without breaking a sweat.

(edit: nw tht i think abt it hwevr i dnt think she does tht anymore i think while a bit of a mess atm she. likes herself. n doesnt rly want or need the approval of others anymore she jst does her own little thing. bt when she ws younger? she jst wnted 2 b friends w the entire world.)

nothing bad rly happened fr like. a good bit of her life. got into psychedelics at some point in high school n tht only heightened her artistic abilities. most of her high school art portfolio ws probably done while high bt <3 does it matter.

hd a high school sweetheart n they were pretty serious like. full on in love. a total believer of soulmates kira ws jst like. this is the one. there is nobody else i cn imagine my life with.

death tw

death tw.

death n grief tw // yea. sometime during their freshmen year of college. car incident. kira ws nvr the same though she’d like to pretend tht nothing’d ever happened. like theyd nvr existed. like she didnt plan out their entire lives together hiking thru hills n valleys n boating across various bodies of water n traveling together until they were old n wrinkly. end of death tw //

cld nt explain 2 u why kira hd bought a van n completely demolished it only to drain all of her savings remodeling it bt nw she lives in it by the beach. hd dreams of travelling the world bt cannot go long distances in a car without feeling sick. sees planes n feels envy. stopped painting fr a long time bt she’s started back up recently. took on surfing. told her parents tht it ws fine n tht she ws fine n theyre concerned bt shes always by the beach, her van rarely leaves. she’s trying her best bt its only been a few yrs n i think ppl cn sense tht shes jst nt the same cheerful girl as they once knew. end of grief tw //

anyways. tugs on my collar. tht’s kira! she lives on the beach n surfs everyday n is obsessed with daisies n is prob growing her own shrooms somewhere.

personality & facts.

always been very emotional n a little dramatic. nt a drama queen bt is a little messy n does not hv like. many rational thoughts up in there. very cup full or cup empty.

regardless though she hs an. overall reputation fr jst being. enjoyable to be around. her her little moments bt shes also pretty like. laidback. in a way. KDSHFSDLKHGHFLKSD

prob bc she smokes a lot or is often <3 on a trip if u know wht i mean <3

god. got obsessed with the 60s n 70s aesthetic at some point n hs not gone back evr. big fan of psychedelic rock. is a prodigy painter bt her life dream outside of traveling ws always to own her own record label. hs nt happened yet, maybe will never happen? works at a record shop though n does hide the good vinyls tht she wants away frm the customers.

very cheerful n usually uplifting n she doesnt like to b negative around others bt smtms she cnt control it n smtms thinks tht ppl r out 2 get her jst out of. anxiety. hs long bouts where she’ll sit in a still sort of sadness n then shake out of it n hop back into conversation like nothing’s happened bt. its fine we’re fine kira is fine.

shes not gullible or naive bt wants to believe tht everybody hs a heart of gold even if its false. keeps giving ppl second chances bc she hs a savior complex n thinks she cn change ppl.

is very into zodiac n will judge u by ur chart. knows everybody in town’s natal chart. even newcomers. it’s a little scary hw quick she finds this information bt its very important to her.

kind of like. into spirituality bt i wont lie its very surface level n a little superficial. learning tarot cards bt cannot fr the life of her memorize the meanings so smtms she jst makes up things on the spot. hs so many crystals she will not stop buying them.

i think a part of her is desperately trying to cling onto tht like. think positive. self care. msg thts super prevalent online without addressing or actually helping any of her problems. it is her flaw </3

hates to admit when she needs help. wld rather do everything herself.

head is a little in the clouds n her parents r a little concerned fr her bc shes nt rly doing much rn bt like. she jst needs time i think. shes jst doing her little thing.

does not give up on ppl easily she absolutely hates dropping ppl frm her life even if she grows 2 resent them over time which is bad bc she is bad at hiding when she is upset at someone or when she doesnt like someone.

like shes jst passive aggressive abt it n does not properly communicate <3

bt this is rare i think ... negative feelings abt other ppl

self centered bt not selfish if tht makes sense. she will do things fr others without a problem n sometimes trips over herself 2 do it bt at the end of the day i think she cares abt herself the most.

hs only been in love once bt hs hd many infatuations n many like. admirations n very surface level feelings. her body is a temple n she loves 2 b worshipped.

prob does fkn. beach yoga. probably vegan bt also maybe breaks tht every once in a while. almost noncommittal its hard 2 distinguish between her being carefree, not taking care of herself, or jst hving commitment issues? flaky or not? who knows.

shoutout to the folks that learned film photography before or after digital photography. one understands light better because of it. and folks that don’t know film, read about it or shoot it because the analog processes are a shortcut for understanding things a digital camera overcomplicates.

i’m contracting today... 19 straight work days. wooo. but i wanted to write a little to wake up. if you want to read a bit more about how the film/digital divide has progressed and how it impacted my thoughts and vibes as an artist you could continue. :7

film was definitely superior when i was younger. my first classes as a kid were basic and worked with a 35mm point and shoot. i had a lot of disposal cameras at this age. a lot. i had some weird film devices, too.

my grandmother was the first in the family to get a nice nikon dslr camera. my aunt bought a similar model for 35mm. definitely two folks on different sides of that argument. all the kids knew that digital camera was the future. we coveted it and asked to use it all the time. she let us use it often and we all had folders on her computer of what we took.

things continued on like that until i got to high school, which was equipped with a darkroom. at this point digital had clearly taken over but the school made the smart decision that film was still more accessible for them and to not waste the darkroom they built just 10 years ago. here i got a fujica st605 with an fujinon f2 50mm or 55mm i can’t remember.

somehow i ended up with... three photography classes and use of the darkroom whenever any of three teachers were in the room for the rest of school. oh... and the film was free, developing was free and even wet printing was free. an old art teacher ran the budget and... only 4-6 kids really produced more than a photo or two to complete assignments so i wager there were never any questions about the setup.

those were great years. given that access, the fujica st605 opened a level of professional shooting that i couldn’t afford to compete with in digital. even though everyone was moving to digital and film was seriously in free fall. i made a ton of art. a lot of black and white prints.

but the thing that mattered most was seeing the process from start to finish. starting with the darkbag and rolling the film onto the canister, then loading the film, then learning how the film exposes relative to an analog device, how hand-held aperture and focus mechanically responds to one’s hands, how the shutter works, then the art of the photograph itself, followed by winding the film back into the canister, using the proper chemicals and proper amount of time to draw out the recorded light, then removing and cleaning to halt the chemical process, followed by enlarging and a multi-stage chemical print development before having a final product. and add in all the mistakes and innovations that happen along the way, one will learn so much about the art of photography.

when i think about film a lot, it makes me laugh that 19th and 20th century painters had so many bad things to say about photography. and to think so as if paints hadn’t developed and access wasn’t dictated by access to technology and as if the colors they’re using aren’t simply reducible to the reproduction of color frequencies. it is all art in spite of that, not because it stands outside the material facts. and this is where these years are super relevant to me. because looking back from a digital world, it seems obvious now that film was painting with light instead of brushes and digital is just better paint.

anyway, time to get to work. here’s some light paintings:

i’ll describe the digital period that follows some other time.

Game of Thrones Legacy Challenge

Because I love legacy challenges, and I love killing sims, I thought the perfect, fantastical hybrid would be of the Game of Thrones variety. I take inspiration from the books/series, but I change a lot to make for a more satisfying sims-ified generational story. After all, now these great houses are all a related family tree, not competing for power in the same land. So many things will be different, deal with it, don’t @ me.

Okay, into the GoT Legacy challenge.

Base rules:

Every heir must do the political career (AKA King) unless stated otherwise

You have to go through with planned deaths

You must change castle color schemes for each main house

Cheating is allowed to get the intended children

Each child must max one toddler skill and one child aspiration

Asha Greyjoy

After her parents died, Asha did anything to keep her and her siblings afloat. She sold family heirlooms, downsized land, and became a criminal of the high seas. But, now that her siblings have grown, Asha grows tired of defaming her family name. Settling down in what remains of the Greyjoy Manor, Asha sets out to create a dynasty of her own. However, they’re taking that whole family motto (“We Do Not Sow”) pretty seriously. While they do still work odd jobs as a petty criminal, she keeps insisting she’s doing it for the right reasons. Asha wants to make the world a better place than her ancestors did... But she wants to do it in a fast-track kind of way and decides to rise up in the world by marrying a wealthy spouse.

So her new legacy begins.

Asha’s Traits: Gloomy, Outgoing, Good (At heart)

Asha must max out the fishing aspiration

Asha must mount at least 10 fish to her walls

Asha must have at least 3 sons

Asha must have a live-in maid to help with children

Asha must build an opulent castle with her riches (or appropriate the Baratheon Castle I built on the gallery (The_SpaceBard)

You must choose if Asha will quit her criminal career and devote herself to her rowdy children and repairing her lackluster marriage, or stay in the criminal career, take a lover, and have a illegitimate child that her spouse casts out

Robert Baratheon

Leading is hard for Robert Baratheon, particularly with his brother, Stannis, always on his heels. Stannis thinks he’s the better leader, but he respects Robert’s claim to heir. But, despite their uneasy peace, it's always created this unspoken rivalry between the two.

Robert taking everything Stannis ever wants, though, doesn’t help.

When Robert becomes of age, he takes over as head of house. But along with it, he takes Stannis’ high school sweetheart. Will the two find a way to reconcile or will Stannis’ jealousy rip the two (and perhaps the entire kingdom) apart?

Robert’s Traits: Glutton, Slob, Good

Stannis’ Traits: Good, Ambitious, Jealous

Renley’s Traits: Outgoing, Romantic, Active

Renley must die on his young adult birthday

Stannis must have a teen pregnancy resulting in one child: Shireen

Robert must steal Stannis’ partner

Robert must have at least 4 children with said partner: Brandon, Lyanna, Eddard, Benjen

Robert must max out charisma

Robert must die once all his children born

Stannis must join the detective career

You must choose of Stannis forgives his long-lost-beloved and raises his daughter and her children as family or if he sets his wife and daughter on fire and is executed for it

Ned Stark

After the internal bickering of his father and uncle that left the family in ruin, Robert’s children are all too aware of what power can do to their family. Disillusioned with ruling, Brandon leaves the house to his siblings, never to be seen again.

While that leaves Lyanna heir, she’s uninterested in leadership and Eddard (AKA Ned) takes charge. Renaming his family the Starks, he sets out to focus on family first, not power.

Tragedy still strikes, however, over and over until he finds himself the final Stark standing. Things only start looking up when he falls in love and creates a family of his own.

He raises 6 strong children (including the baby of his sister, Lyanna). Though he does not seize more power in his lifetime, he couldn’t be prouder.

Brandon’s Traits: Good, Self-Assured, Hot-Headed

Ned’s Traits: Family-Oriented, Good, Neat

Lyanna Traits: Romantic, Loves the Outdoors, Music Lover

Benjen’s Traits: Loner, Good, Gloomy

Brandon must start the Leader of the Pack aspiration

Brandon must “go missing” when he becomes a young adult (Feel free to get creative, but I will be locking him in a dungeon below)

Benjen must freeze to death

Lyanna must have a teen pregnancy with a much older man

Lyanna must die after giving birth to a son: Jon (can cheat gender)

Ned must marry a jealous redhead

After all his siblings are dead, Ned has five children in rapid succession: Robb, Sansa, Arya, Bran, Rickon

You must choose if Ned will raise Jon as a son or as a servant

Sansa Stark

Unlike generations before, and much like Ned hoped, the second Starks did not grow up coveting each other’s talents or responsibilities. Jon dreamed of becoming a simple hunter, Sansa wanted to be a princess, Arya wanted to be an athlete, Bran wanted to be a scholar, and Rickon wanted to be a baker. Every Stark left the house to become their own person, save Robb, Sansa, and Jon. They figured they could maintain their kingdom on their own.

That is, until Robb tragically, suddenly dies and it's up to Sansa to take up the mantle. As a child she just wanted to be a pretty princess and wife, but can she step up and become a queen?

Jon’s Traits: Loner, Dog Lover, Loves The Outdoors

Robb’s Traits: Insider, Outgoing, Self-Absorbed (Or Self-Assured, if you don’t have Get Famous)

Sansa’s Traits: Genius, Materialistic, Ambitious

Arya’s Traits: Active, Hot-Headed, Noncommittal

Rickon’s Traits: Cheerful, Foodie, Squeamish

Bran’s Traits: Gloomy, Bookworm, Unflirty

Robb must start a “Winterfell” club

All Stark children (except Robb, Sansa, and Jon) must leave the castle once they become young adults. That can be for school, romance, death, etc.

Except Robb. Robb MUST die at his own wedding

When Robb dies, Jon gets a dog

Sansa must have 3 children: Rhaegar, Viserys, and Danaerys (Dani, if your fingers don’t want to deal with typing it out). Sansa must have Rhaegar early on and Viserys and Dani much later

You must choose if Sansa dies alongside her son, Rhaegar, in the same tragedy or deliberately gets him killed herself for his abandonment and neglect

Dani Targaryen

Watching the Stark house almost collapse because of all the children going off to do their own things, Rhaegar wanted to whip the house back into shape under a new name: House Targaryen. Ambitious and determined (and a little unhinged), the dragon-like siblings wanted to reclaim glory for their mother who held the castle together in its darkest hours.

That is, until Rhaegar runs off with a pretty young thing and shirks all his duties.

Dani quickly takes over, despite the fact her brother Viserys is always looking over her shoulder and trying to enforce his whims without doing any of the work. Dani will not let bad seeds get in the way of her family legacy, though, no matter the cost

Rhaegar’s Traits: Kleptomaniac, Music Lover, Noncommittal

Viserys’ Traits: Mean, Ambitious, Hot-Headed

Dani’s Traits: Cat Lover, Hot-Headed or Erratic, Genius

Rhaegar must max out the violin skill

Rhaegar must get married, divorce, and remarry a much younger woman

Viserys must turn into a vampire and burn to death

Dani must marry and become a widower within the week

Dani must max out her Debate and Charisma skills

Dani must have 3 very territorial cats and one (possibly adopted) child: Lysa

Dani must extend her life as much as possible

You must choose if Dani will have an illicit affair with an extended family member (descendent of Asha’s illegitimate child/Renley, descendant of Shireen, descendant of the Stark children who left) to produce Lysa or have three more dead spouses, none of which give her a child

Lysa Tully

Lysa grew up with the breaker of chains, the mother of dragon-like cats, the most famous ruler in recent history. She made mountains move with a single word.

It’s not Dani’s fault she didn’t have much time for Lysa. She was making the world better for everyone, including her daughter. And that didn’t affect Lysa much, not really, she just is a little clingy... and stressed out... and just desperately wants to start her own family.

But will a family of her own ever fill the empty space in her heart?

Lysa’s Traits: Paranoid, Family-Oriented, Erratic

Lysa must have only one son: Robin

Robin’s other parent must die

Lysa must have no skills over level 1 other than parenting

Lysa must get fired from politics, leaving Dani to still rule until her great-granddaughter is of age

Lysa must max out the Super Parent aspiration

Lysa’s only close friend is her son

You must decide if Lysa becomes a single parent for life or she’ll find love again

Robin Arryn

Robin’s mother, Lysa, was clingy. It overwhelmed Robin his entire life, especially living in such a large castle with one lonely, overbearing woman following him constantly. He loved her dearly, particularly since he knows how... distant his grandmother can be. But Robin is desperate for breathing room and to make his own mark on their legacy

He was a delicate, uncoordinated child who needed and appreciated the extra hand from Lysa, but now as an adult, Robin just wants to bring color and joy back into the castle. And, in turn, to the people of their kingdom

Robin’s Traits: Squeamish, Creative, Clumsy

Robin must become Lysa’s best friend (until he becomes an adult and marries)

Robin must marry young to a local villager with similar features to his mother

Robin must have two children: Margaery and Loras

Robin must max out the painter and piano skills

Robin must litter the castle with masterpieces ONLY

Margaery Tyrell

Margaery grew up in a complicated home, with two elderly matriarchs running the kingdom. Grandma Lysa was never quite queen material, and Margaery was disgusted with her for it. She identified more with her great-grandmother, the infinite Queen Dani, a cunning dragoness of a ruler.

Growing up idolizing her queen, adoring her father, and sharing everything with her brother, Margaery always felt she was being groomed to be a well-rounded, beloved queen in her own right. When Queen Dani finally passes on, Margaery is sure she will be the monarch Dani always meant her to be. But will she live up to her own expectations?

Margaery’s Traits: Cheerful, Genius, Outgoing

Loras’s Traits: Active, Romantic, Freegan

Young Margaery must be close to Dani until she dies, but hates Lysa

Margaery must take the throne when Dani dies

Margaery must have three children: Cersei, Jaime, and Tyrion

Margaery’s partner must hate Tyrion

Margaery’s partner must also be romantically involved with Loras

You must decide if Margaery or Loras get to have a happily ever after once Tyrion is born. The other must die tragically

Cersei/Tyrion Lannister

The Lannister children grew up knowing that the family and their legacy comes first. But perhaps they took that a tad too literally.

Cersei, the eldest daughter of Queen Margaery, was proud to be the next beautiful woman leading their dynasty. But unlike her foremothers, Cersei refused to take a spouse. She insisted to the kingdom that she does not need a marriage to be great.

Though, her growing brood of golden blonde children is a little confusing for the villagers. Unbeknownst to the people, their second parent is not her noble suitor that she keeps around for appearances, but her twin brother. If their secret is ever discovered, her reign might be doomed and their nosy, judgmental, annoyingly intelligent younger brother may be forced to be the king he never wanted to be.

Tyrion’s Traits: Genius, Good, Gloomy

Cersei’s Traits: Mean, Creative, Ambitious

Jaime’s Traits: Active, Good, Romantic

Cersei must have a “beard” aka a cover romance for her true soulmate situation

Jaime and Cersei must have an illicit relationship since their teenage years and have children together

Cersei must have 4 children: Joffrey, Myrcella, Tommen, Tywin

Joffrey’s Traits: Evil, Mean; Myrcella’s Trait: Creative Tommen’s Trait: Cheerful

Joffrey must die as a teen

The other two Lannister “Purebloods” must get taken away by authorities before they reach their teen years (the fourth one must be taken as an infant)

Once her children are gone, Cersei will die

Once all his nephews/nieces are gone, Tyrion will adopt 2 boys: Doran and Oberyn

You must decide if Jaime comes to his senses and helps run the kingdom with Tyrion or dies with Cersei

Doran and Oberyn Martell

Raised to be the best they can be, Doran and Oberyn were pitted against each other far too often. It created a rivalry between the two that grew insidious over the years. After decades of chaos, clashing ideologies, and lots and lots of death, both men wanted to bring the kingdom into an age of glory. They grew tired of all the broken relationships and want their house to come back together and stay strong. However, they both want to do it very differently. Doran wants to promote education, peace, and humanitarianism. Oberyn prefers expansion, freedom, and nationalism.

The two tolerated each other out of brotherly love, but when their father dies and the crown falls to them, who will lead the kingdom to greatness?

Doran’s Traits: Bookworm, Perfectionist, Self-Assured

Oberyn’s Traits: Romantic, Outgoing, Hot-Headed

Both children must be close to their adoptive father, Tyrion

Doran must max out Logic, Wellness, and Writing

Oberyn must max out Charisma, Singing, and Fitness

Doran and Oberyn must compete at least 10 times over their lifetime (Chess, Fighting, Lottery, Dance fight, Card game, Foosball, Horseshoe game). Have the siblings keep track (trophies, sad clowns, scoreboards, your pick)

They must invite 3 long-lost family members to the castle

You must decide if the intellectual Doran or the charismatic Oberyn leads the castle into a new era; the other must die by public execution

If you decide to play, please tell me! I’ll be doing a YouTube series following my own adventures in the challenge so I’d love to see what you guys do with it.

Sims 4 Solar Legacy Challenge

* This is challenge involves the use of some packs, but those goals can be ignored if you don’t have that pack. Skip to the heading titled “Generations” if you don’t like reading.*

Each planet has its own purpose, each being a divine entity with its own stories to tell. The tale of the planets left its mark on the world, and the story became known to the world as the Solar Legacy.

The tale begins with the Sun. Though not a planet, this entity is what brought life to those who followed, allowing them each to thrive. The Sun represents happiness, joy, and friendship. The Sun is emotional and acts based on feelings, which is somethings that attracts the interest of many.

To balance out the emotional Sun, Mercury was born. Mercury is logical and finds joy in piecing things together. The planet is a problem solver and gets things done in an accurate and efficient way.

Venus found itself desiring something different from the planets before as it neared adulthood. Venus came to value love, lust, and money. Venus has always been viewed in a negative light by those who tell the tale, due to what would be considered scandalous behavior in this day and age.

As the planets lives continued on, the universe around them became dim. There was no life, no vibrance, no color. Earth was created to bring life to the universe and leave a way for those after to be able to live beautifully from.

Mars came barreling into the universe full of passion and anger. The planet is one of destruction. Many think the reason as to why was due to the teenage problems Mars once confronted Earth with.

In contrast to Mars, Jupiter was born, as some might say, similar to an angel. Jupiter found itself wanting nothing but happiness for those around it, wishing to heal and help those who found themselves needing it.

While many of the planets chose to focus on bettering themselves or the universe, Uranus found itself want to learn about itself and the space that surrounds it. The planet lives its life exploring the stars and what else is out there in the universe.

Neptune lives a life of calamity and peace, expressing itself with its creations. The planet, unlike the one before, wants to lead a life dedicated to itself. It is a calm, compassionate, dreamy, and inspired planet.

The tale ends with the small and forgotten planet of Pluto. Pluto is the planet that is furthest from the Sun, leaving it cold and bitter. Overshadowed by the glory of the planets who came before it, Pluto lives in anger and despair. Representing death, destruction, and misfortune, it is described as a miserable planet to those who have come in contact with it.

“wow we love space” legacy challenge

I started a legacy and got an ask for the rules, but I realized it didn’t really have any so I wrote rules for this legacy! This legacy is all about space and each generation follows a space-themed thing but not every generation requires you to go into space, it’s just loosely spaced themed! Feel free to use the hashtag #wowwelovespace if you post your sims and gameplay!

here are the rules in a google doc if that’s more your style :D

Basic rules:

Cheats, like money cheats, are allowed but not excessively

Keep the lifespan on normal

Some packs are needed for certain traits, skills, and careers. If you don’t have the pack feel free to change anything to fit.

all of the generation rules are down below! If you have any questions feel free to send me an ask. (also this was very quickly done and there might be a few mistakes, although I have read through it. Just let me know if there is something wrong, thanks!)

Generation one: rocket ship

While everyone else is living their normal daily lives, you spend your time focusing on the small things of our world, like what it’s made of and how we came to be.

If we can talk with the SDRA2 students can we get a role call from everyone? I wanna know who makes a cameo from DRA....

/An unknown time, an unknown place

Your attention is immediately caught by a fight that seems to be steadily escalating. The lucky student seems to snap, and lunges for the wizard. Before he can make contact, the firefighter scoops him up. Said firefighter sighs as the lucky student attempts to free himself, screeching, scratching and thrashing in a attempt to free himself. The wizard has seemingly no response, simply letting his attention be caught by something else.

This scene catches the eye of the girl who's talent remains unknown, who immediately starts teasing the lucky student for getting ensnared. Everyone's big brother, the broker, steps in and placed a hand on the girls shoulder. He redirects her to the hostess, who immediately distracts her. The duo seems entranced, flirting and teasing one another easily with all else forgotten. The broker returns to his own group, comprised of the psychologist, guitarist and spaceman, the quartet focused on tinkering with... something.

The vocalist sits nearby, deep in conversation with her twin as the guitarist splits her attention between the conversation and the invention that's coming alive. In perfect sync, the two lean back from the table, the cause immediately evident. Big sister psychologist has made sparks, causing the spaceman to fly into the brokers arm with a scream. The psychologist simply waits for it to stop sparking, cheering the broker on as he goes to poke the steaming heap of metal and wires.

Across the room, there’s a trio, that unlike the quartet, seems to be fighting over their shared knowledge. The wizard has found a new fight to start, with the actress and the billiards player, debating on... special effects? The actress uses her movie knowledge to try and get her years of experience crowned queen. Billiards player rolls her eyes, asking if the actress has ever made a cloud of smoke appear on her own. Before she can retaliate, the wizard uses this as a chance to show off his prowess. He immediately disappears, all that remains a cloud of smoke.

You once again turn your head, your attention now caught by a loud yelp. You watch the boxer panic as he tries to find where the wizard went. The painter flicks some paint at him, accusing him of almost knocking into her easel, a statement that doesn't go over well. A fight immediately breaks out, the boxer retorting that he didn't bump into it, and that she shouldn't be upset with him for something that almost happened. He also argues that she never has a distinct plan anyways, which really gets the painter upset. You wonder if you should go help calm them down, when once again, your attention is drawn.

Something feels... off. The lucky student has now broken free from the firefighter and is sulking on the couch as the firefighter tries to ignore what's happening around him. A faint mechanical whirring can be heard from the quartet plus one, as they seem to have created something that works, though none of them quite know what it is, or what it's doing. You know what'll happen next. In a matter of seconds, they’ll all descend on it, 4 pairs of hands making quick work to disassemble it, adjust whatever piece they end up with, then put it all back together. The hostess is now relaxing, resting in a arm chair with her legs over one side, her back to the mystery girl perched on the other. The unknown girl seems to be braiding the hostesses hair, a act they're both enjoying. Painter and boxer are still bickering, but the remaining special affects duo now seems to be bonding as the billiards player shows the actress a few tricks.

Oh. That's right. The boxer had a point. Just where did the wizard end up? You begin to look around, scanning the room. You should be able to see him easily enough, you’ve made yourself a home up on top of the rows of bookcases that are easily 20 feet up just so you could see what's happening. Funnily enough, the wizard offered to help you by floating you up, but the lucky student was already boosting you, so you had to decline. The duo seems to always be competing with one another, which is how the fight likely broke out.

After that, all rational thought leaves your head. Next, all you know is the faint feeling of hands pressing against your back, and with you already dangling your legs off the edge, that's enough to send you plummeting. You love the feeling of falling, always enjoying rollercoasters and the like, but you're fully aware that a 20 foot drop could theoretically break some bones, and with your luck, the odds of that happening is extremely high. You can't even let out a scream - you were never known for your volume, and what good would it do you now?

Your eyes are shut, lips sealed by terror, ears awaiting the loud crack that'll announce your arrival - it never comes. Someone... maybe two someones catch you, and you open your eyes just as one of the people let's go of you, and you make eye contact with the lucky student as he shifts his weight to better balance with you, before planting you down on the ground. He stays holding you for a moment, allowing your breathing to steady, and for you to stop shaking so bad that it seems you’ll collapse to the ground. You’re jolted back to reality as you hear a familiar voice give a apology - it was the wizard that pushed you, not that he meant to use that much force. It must've been divine intervention that allowed the lucky student and the firefighter to reach you in time to play catch, as most of the other students seem to be just realizing there was a issue.

Immediately you’re swarmed, all kinds of Super High School Levels rushing in to check on you, the spaceman visibly panicked, the hostess hugging you tight, almost hitting you with her braid in the process. The invention from earlier is used (in some odd process that only makes sense to the quartet that made it) to get your belongings from the bookshelf you were up at. With your notebook back in hand, you look at the half-finished article, and quickly jot down all that happened, the broker praising you for being so dedicated as the psychologist asks if that should be your priority here.

You think about it. It being the story, and what you should prioritize. You are the journalist, but maybe it'd be nice to go and join in with one of the groups. Everyone disperses, calmed at the knowledge that you're alright. A new page of your notebook is written on, stained black with ink as you write the date, and other valuable information. As you set off to go talk to your classmates, you struggle to push one thing back into your head. You’re the journalist, you only spread the truth, what you know to be the facts, so you know what you should do. You sigh, then head off to spend the rest of the day bonding with your classmates, and....

You try and convince yourself that the shadow you saw outside the window just before you fell is a figment of your imagination.
