<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe Seven Deadly Sins Legacy Challenge<\/strong> leads your Sims through the worst traits, careers, and aspirations Sim-kind has to offer. In seven generations, experience sloth, pride, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and finally greed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There aren\u2019t a lot of RULES (it\u2019s a sin challenge, after all), just guidelines and suggestions to help you really lean in to that sinful Sim life. This is a super tongue-in-cheek challenge, given that your Sims will be horrible children, parents, partners, employees and friends. Just horrible<\/em>. If a generation or a task disturbs you (or bores you!), skip it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And, because I\u2019m even more of a builder than a player, each generation has a build challenge. Not a builder? Give it a try, or just break the rules and skip that part of the challenge. Who\u2019s going to stop you? I\u2019m not your MOM!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Generation 1: Sloth<\/strong> Aspiration<\/strong>: Any. They just won\u2019t care. If you have Island Living, \u201cBeach Life\u201d is a great option. Generation 2: Pride<\/strong> Aspiration<\/strong>: World-Famous Celebrity Generation 3: Lust<\/strong> Aspiration<\/strong>: Serial Romantic Generation 4: Envy<\/strong> Aspiration<\/strong>: Curator Generation 5: Gluttony<\/strong> Aspiration<\/strong>: Master Chef Generation 6: Wrath<\/strong> Aspiration<\/strong>: Public Enemy Generation 7: Greed<\/strong> Aspiration<\/strong>: Fabulously Wealthy OR Mansion Baron (Oct. 19, 2020: Hey there! In honor of starting this challenge on my own stream, I thought I’d incorporate some of the suggestions and updates in the Sims since I first wrote this in January!) (Note: Neighborhood Action Plans from EcoLifestyle are NOT addressed, since I hate them and instantly disable them.

No real career. No degree. No spouse. Your Sim has to make and raise an heir, but beyond that, they just slide through life. Enjoy napping, drinking juice on the beach, sleeping, neglecting your heir, and going with the flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Starting Traits<\/strong> have to include: Lazy, Slob
Suggested Career<\/strong>: Odd Jobs and Part-Time Jobs only.
Build Component<\/strong>: Build humble, build cheap! Try starting with 5k instead of 20k, and build whatever you can build! In your future Sloth dwellings, try to keep to that slothful, don\u2019t-care, meh style of housing!
Additional Slothful Suggestions<\/strong>: Never use \u201cWork Hard.\u201d When people come to your Sim\u2019s house, never ask them to leave. Sleep on the beach. Skip work and\/or school whenever your Sim is in the mood. Leave bowls of food on the ground for your toddler heir. Back float in the ocean. Don\u2019t amass a personal fortune of more than 5k or so (excluding house\/possessions). Sleep.
Update Notes<\/strong>: If you aren’t in the building mood, add your Sloth to an existing household of roommates! Leech off their constant baking, never clean anything, lie on the couch in the living room in your underwear. Another potential storyline? Lazily find the Sim who will take care of you! Neat\/Good\/Foodie? I don’t know why they’d be with YOU, but you can dream!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe it\u2019s because their parent was such a lump of nothing, but this generation wants to sparkle<\/em>. This generation\u2019s Sim will be famous, beloved, and better than you \u2014 and they\u2019ll do anything to achieve that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Traits at aging into Young Adult<\/strong> should include Self-Absorbed and Self-Assured
Suggested Careers<\/strong>: Acting, Entertainer, Style Influencer, Social Media
Build Component<\/strong>: The lounges in the game are nowhere NEAR cool enough for Pride. Make a better lounge!
Additional Prideful Suggestions<\/strong>: Give them \u201cplastic surgery\u201d with cas.fulleditmode when they become a teenager. If you have Get Famous, rule Drama Club with an iron fist. Only make an heir with another celebrity. Send them to multiple Starlight Accolade ceremonies and make them throw tantrums when they lose. Steal the Stars of other celebrities. Spread rumors. Win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With all the resources passed down by their famous parent, this generation wants to have fun<\/em>. They never settle down, they enjoy the thrill of cheating and they break hearts with glee. It\u2019s about pleasure and conquest. Feelings? What?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Traits at aging into Young Adult<\/strong> should include Romantic and Noncommittal
Suggested Careers<\/strong>: Any freelance career, Entertainer, Artist, or Athlete
Build Component<\/strong>: Your Sim probably has a bunch of cash by now. Build them their perfect woohoo-inspiring boudoir.
Additional Lustful Suggestions<\/strong>: See how many kids your Sim can bring into the world. If you hire a nanny or a butler, find out if they\u2019re up for seduction. See if your Sim can achieve every WooHoo option in the game. Find out how long it takes for any of your partners to realize they\u2019re only one of a crowd. When someone breaks up with your Sim, win them back \u2014 and then cheat again, because that\u2019s just the sinner you are.
Update Notes:<\/strong> OK, I will talk about a N.A.P. here. “Free Love” is great, but it makes this Sim not terrible<\/em> as opposed to terrible. It’s your sinning challenge — you do you! But Free Love takes the suspense out of finding out who’s doing who!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whatever someone else has, this generation wants<\/em>. They\u2019ll lie, cheat, steal, dig, and plunder tombs to acquire important objects, just so no one else can have them. They\u2019re special, and they show it through their possessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Traits at aging into Young Adult<\/strong> should include Kleptomaniac and Jealous
Suggested Careers<\/strong>: Any. Work through as much of the Jungle Adventure gameplay as possible.
Build Component<\/strong>: Between the items your Sim steals, buys, and plunders, they\u2019re going to end up with a lot of stuff. Before they become an Elder, build them a museum (could be just a room in your Sim\u2019s house) featuring the best of their belongings!
Additional Envious Suggestions<\/strong>: Why would you steal TVs and chairs when you could steal things that are important to other people? Look for art, cultural artifacts, and personal items. If you don\u2019t have Jungle Adventure, really lean in to that kleptomaniac life \u2014 steal from every museum, beat up Father Winter for gifts, and never give anything back. This generation is all about taking<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the previous generation liked to take<\/em>, this generation likes to consume<\/em>. This isn\u2019t necessarily about food \u2014 it\u2019s also about overdoing it with juice, woohoo, travel, partying, and whatever else tickles your Sim\u2019s fancy. This generation doesn\u2019t think enough is ever <\/em>enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Traits at aging into Young Adult<\/strong>\u00a0should include Glutton
Suggested Career<\/strong>: Culinary (either branch)
Build Component<\/strong>: Build them an over-the-top restaurant that embodies the spirit of \u201cgluttony.\u201d
Additional Gluttonous Suggestions<\/strong>: Try to learn all the recipes in game. Throw Gold-rated dinner parties. Create a club dedicated entirely to food, drink, woohoo, and revelry, and see how long your Sim can keep a gathering going. If you have Island Living, earn the elusive Gold at a kava party. Skill all the way up in Dance. Throw every possible Social Event. Celebrate, regardless of the consequences!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This generation isn\u2019t content with consumption \u2014 it wants to conquer<\/em>. This generation takes what it wants through violence, scheming, and other nefarious activities, and if everyone hates them, that\u2019s just fine. Wrath doesn\u2019t want any friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Traits at aging into Young Adult<\/strong> should include Mean and Hot-Headed
Suggested Career<\/strong>: Criminal (either branch)
Build Component<\/strong>: Make a hideout for your criminal and their crew (residential or non-residential, you decide)
Additional Wrathful Suggestions<\/strong>: See how many enemies your Sim can acquire. If you have Strangerville, buy a ton of listening devices and bug everyone<\/em>. Blackmail all the way! Make prank calls, send chain letters and spam money requests, cheat on your partners. See how many deaths your Sim can inspire! Whatever is rude, vile, uncouth, or smelly, do it.
Update Notes:<\/strong> Consider vampirism! It’s violent, jerky, and lets you turn people you don’t like into immortal blood-drinking monsters. Talk about Wrath! Also, your Wrath Sim will be around to annoy Generation 7 for their *entire lives*.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This generation takes materialism to an extreme. While nearly every sin contains some aspect of greed, it\u2019s time to spend your last generation securing your Sim\u2019s financial and material legacy. Build a fortune and a mansion so amazing that the family will be remembered forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Traits at aging into Young Adult<\/strong> should include Snob and Materialistic.
Suggested Careers<\/strong>: Business (either branch), Politician (Politician Branch), Tech Guru (either branch)
Build Component<\/strong>: Build a mansion worth at least $250k simoleons.
Additional Greedy Suggestions<\/strong>: Never waste a simoleon. Keep those lights off when you\u2019re not in the room. Go to the Flea Market and Haggle. Try to eat at other people\u2019s houses and events, not on your own dime. Take advantage of bar specials. Sell whatever you scrounge or make, unless it fits your Sim\u2019s vision of their legacy. If you have Get Famous, buy a Vault and enjoy all the money-loving activities it allows.
Update Notes:<\/strong> Screw. You. Knox. If you have EcoLifestyle, just yawn and roll your eyes at all those eco-freaks running around with air vacuums. You’re in your air-conditioned mansion, and when someone has to go cough in the smog, it’s your butler, not you. Totally have a butler.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
