Rainbow Legacy Challenge BASE GAME RULES

Back in late 2019 I came up with a new challenge idea: the Rainbow Legacy Challenge. I started a save with it (honestly I'm on like gen 2/3 of it atm) and I really enjoy it so far. So I figured I'd share this fun legacy with the world! I'm working on a Base Game version over on my new YouTube Channel so Simmers who don't have a lot of DLC can do the challenge as well :) tomorrow I'll be posting the rules with DLC. I'll be adding which DLC you need for each generation. If you don't have the necessary DLC for a generation, feel free to switch it with the Base Game edition :)

General Rules:

• Create ONE Sim (gender doesn’t matter) and make them a young adult

• Create A Sim stories are not to be used with any Sims in the Legacy, but can be used for townies you create/have created

• Your Sims can have any skin tone, eye color, hair color, etc. but their overall color scheme must be that of the generation they represent.

• No using money cheats (except Free Real Estate)

• Mods and CC are allowed as long as it doesn’t mess with the Sims’ careers, traits or money

• You may choose whichever branch of that generation’s career you wish

• All heirs must mate with a game-generated townie (ex. Johnny Zest, Don Lothario, Liberty Lee, Summer Holiday, etc.)

• Sims can have as many children as they wish, but only one can be heir

• If you choose to keep the other children in the household, you are able to (but they cannot have kids of their own)

• Aging for the household must be ON (inactive household aging can be off or on)

• Sims can live in whatever world/lot they wish

• Sims can move but only once per generation 

• You may travel to work with your Sim if you have an active career

• When you complete the generation’s Aspiration, you may choose another of your liking.

• The main objective for each generation is max their three given skills, their career and finish their aspiration.

• You may open a retail store, veterinarian office, restaurant, etc. if it goes with that generation’s skills, aspiration or career.

GENERATION 1: PINK

Traits: Good, Romantic, Bookworm (can also use Active in place of Romantic or Bookworm)

Career: Athlete

Skills: Fitness, Logic, Gardening (if you have Spa Day, Wellness can be a bonus)

Aspiration: Fabulously Wealthy

This Sim has always been infatuated with the lifestyles of the rich and famous, and even more so when their parents signed them up for military school as a teen. Their hopeless romantic dreams have stayed with them, but so has a newly found love for fitness and logic. They dream of being a Professional Athlete/Bodybuilder with a huge mansion and hope their legacy will live on forever.

GENERATION 2: RED

Traits: Foodie, Cheerful, Materialistic

Career: Culinary

Skills: Baking, Cooking, Gourmet Cooking

Aspiration: Master Chef

This Sim has always loved food. They love everything about it, from the wild plants they see growing in the bushes to the exquisite dishes they see on TV. They want to learn as much about food as they possibly can, then maybe more. They also want to fulfill their parent’s dream of having the largest and most expensive house Sims have ever seen. They hope to pass the Goth and Landgraab families in terms of wealth and property value.

GENERATION 3: ORANGE

Traits: Genius, Unflirty, Outgoing

Career: Astronaut

Skills: Logic, Rocket Science, Handiness

Aspiration: Nerd Brain

Ever since this Sim watched a Solar Eclipse as a kid, they wanted to explore space. They love anything scientific and galaxy-themed and want to show the world what is truly out there. Romance and furthering the family legacy took the back burner until it was almost too late to have kids. Even well advanced in age, this Sim becomes the greatest Astronaut and parent the world has seen.

GENERATION 4: YELLOW (having a spouse in the Secret Agent (or Detective if you have Get to Work-career would be great in this generation!)

Traits: Evil, Ambitious, Glutton

Career: Criminal

Skills: Mischief

Aspiration: Enemy of the World

This Sim’s parents were far too career oriented to pay even the slightest bit of attention to them unless it was a dire emergency. This Sim is borderline obsessed with how the greatest crimes were committed and hope to be alongside those who are wanted but never captured. At least they hope to never be captured. When they fall in love with someone on the other side of the law, things could potentially change.

Generation 5: GREEN

Traits: Geek, Self Assured, Kleptomaniac

Career: Tech Guru

Skills: Video Games, Charisma, Mischief

Aspiration: Nerd Brain

This Sim has been a gamer since they could hold a tablet. Their ultimate dream is to develop the next great game, however their mischievous side always got in the way of their goals to create a peaceful, calming game. But when their mischievous and geeky sides collide, the best things happen to them. Will they create the next big game franchise or become the best E-Sports player the world will ever know? The choice is yours!

Generation 6: TEAL

Traits: Creative, Art Lover, Clumsy

Career: Writer

Skills: Writing, Painting, Mixology

Aspiration:

This Sim has always seen the world from an artist's perspective. They are full of stories about anything from the trees to the snow and even the wild plants that pop up. Whether they're true or not is up to the Sim that they're talking to. Between their painting and writing skills, they hope to make a name for themselves by being a one Sim show. Their works could easily make the big screen if they would put themselves out there. Their biggest hobby outside of work is making all the coolest drinks and even some original ones too.

Generation 7: BLUE

Traits: Bro, Perfectionist, Active

Career: Secret Agent

Skills: Fitness, Programming, Logic

Aspiration: Successful Lineage

This Sim has always been sickened by their great-grandparent's evil habits. Determined to take as much crime off the streets as they can, they vow to be the best Agent Sims have ever met. When they’re not saving the world or training the next generation of agents, they love perfecting their chess game. Chess has always been a passion of theirs and it shows through the many tournaments they win. Above everything is their family. From a very young age, family has always been their top priority. Having a large and thriving family has always been their goal for life.

Generation 8: PURPLE

Traits: Music Lover, Goofball, Slob

Career: Entertainer

Skills: Comedy, Guitar, Piano

Aspiration: Musical Genius

This Sim has always known how to cheer up Sims who are feeling anything but happy. With their love of the arts, they’re determined to make Sims laugh, cry and everything in between. Any negative feelings they've ever experienced were taken away by just a few minutes of watching their favorite comedy acts and/or artists sing live. Their belief is the arts can cure everything from a bad day to the most unfortunate events.

Generation 9: WHITE

Traits: Gloomy, Self Assured, Ambitious

Career: Business

Skills: Charisma, Programming, Handiness

Aspiration: Mansion Baron

Ever since their childhood best friend got sick and passed away, this Sim has wanted to find a cure for all Sim diseases. They don’t want anyone else to suffer like they had. They want to use their fortune to fund as many non-profits as possible and even start their own. Their business mindset gives them the confidence and skill to get everything they need. Following in their parents’ footsteps in making a difference, this Sim took it one step further and got directly in line to make it happen. The downside of them working so much is their cleanliness is almost rock bottom.

Generation 10: BLACK

Traits: Loves Outdoors, Bookworm, Erratic

Career: Freelancer - Writer Branch

Skills: Writing, Photography, Gardening

Aspiration: Bestselling Author

This Sim has loved writing short stories for as long as they can remember. In school Simlish was always their favorite class because they got to share their stories with the teacher and even the class. They have a thousand characters and a million storylines in their head at all times, and as they’ve gotten older it’s gotten easier to write many different things, such as novels, magazine/newspaper articles, poems, etc. When they aren't looking for the inspiration for their next big project, this Sim loves writing blog posts and things about gardens and everything Gardening related.
