Occult Legacy Challenge by Asphodel Moon

 


Hello Moon Pies and welcome to my first legacy challenge. I've not played a lot of the gameplay that comes with the occults so I thought creating this challenge would push me into playing aspects I might not usually play with. Which is always fun right?

When I talk about spouses in each generation, they can be of any gender and marriage is not a necessity. Unless specified, they can be whatever or whoever you choose! I didn't include pets as I thought I'd leave it up to you if you want the extra responsibility! You must complete the aspiration and career for each generation. 

This legacy challenge needs the following packs to be completed: Strangerville, Get to Work, Jungle Adventure, Paranormal, Eco Lifestyle, Island Living, Werewolves, Vampires, Realm of Magic, Spa Day, Seasons, High School Years, Outdoor Retreat and Crystal Creations.

I suggest the regular lifespan for this legacy however if you want to play shorter life span to make it more challenging, or longer lifespan to really take your time with hitting each target, please feel free. Play vanilla or with mods, it's completely up to you. No money cheats though except for the first sim in Strangerville if you're wanting them to get a good start, but don't be greedy! 

If you decide to give this challenge a go, please tag me on any of my social medias so I can see and share! Use hashtag #asphodeloccultlegacy <3


Strangerville
After leaving home for the first time, you find yourself living in a small home in Strangerville. You're not there very long before you start to notice things are particularly strange and the locals are even stranger. At your job at the local lab, you overhear colleagues talking about the towns mystery and the 'other' lab that stands across town. You get sucked into the conspiracy and are determined to figure it all out. On top of that, you're pretty sure you've made contact with aliens. What could possibly go wrong?

Alien
Your parents were always honest when they said you were different from all the other children in class. Throughout your life, you strive to get back to your roots and find your true, authentic self. You're always finding yourself feeling jealous of those who fit in oh so easily and know who their true authentic selves are. This pushes you to become super interested in space and are determined to visit and meet more people like you.

Plant Sim
After growing up in a super hot, super sandy environment, you want nothing more than to live somewhere cooler, more green, close to water. You find yourself moving to somewhere less than satisfactory with a lot of smog and pollution and so, you decide to do something about it. You're completely eco conscious doing everything in your path to be as friendly to nature as you can be ... perhaps a little too much.

Paranormal
Your parents love of nature and the environment has a great influence on you, but only with regards to being most happy somewhere green. You find yourself living in a little country village with a lot of history; a topic you find most interesting. However, the little cottage you inhabit has more than just history in it's walls. The walls talk!

Mermaid
You want nothing more but to leave behind the rain, the home that is constantly needing some TLC and the unwanted house guests. You move to the sunny beaches of Sulani where you crave a life free of stress where, whilst searching for food one day, you find a mysterious kelp you can use in your soups. Is it safe to eat? Only time will tell! Sulani very quickly becomes your home but the passing trade of tourists leaves the place looking a bit ... unloved. You take it upon yourself to save the beach, to save the wildlife, to save the place you call home!

Werewolf
After growing up by the sea, surrounded by people and with no electricity, you want nothing more than a bit of peace and quiet. Oh, and some normality. You move to a small home in the forest, away from everyone where you can live your own life. The locals are incredibly interesting, and following a tustle with one, your life changes forever and you all of a sudden have the urge to eat raw meat and be surrounded by a large amount of children ...

Colour: Brown

Skills: Master Fishing and Charisma
Other: Beat Greg in a fight, bite at least one person and turn them into a werewolf


Spellcaster
Moonwood Mills has a lot of mystery surrounding it, and one of those is it's links to Glimmerbrook and the Spellcasters. Once old enough to leave the pack, you find yourself moving to Glimmerbrook and throwing yourself straight into the magic. Who else is connected to the werewolves of Moonwood Mill and the Spellcasters of Glimmerbrook? What else is there to discover?

Vampire
You have ancestors that hold power on both sides of your family. Born a creature of the night, you struggle to fit in with the Spellcaster side; who goes out in sunlight anyway? You're taken under the wing of your vampire parent and moved to Forgotten Hollow. They train you up to become head vampire, with you recording the process every step of the way, for future generations of vampires. Writer of the next Vampire tome? I think so.

Ghost
Your childhood wasn't particularly eventful, in fact it was quite dull and boring and you hated it. You went nowhere, saw hardly anyone ... in fact, you hardly ever saw outside, especially in the daytime. The minute you were old enough to spread your wings and fly the bat cave, you did. You love to travel, you love to see the world, you love to explore, you get bored rather easily ... you are also rather clumsy so .. be careful yeah?
