Default The Random Generations Challenge - Original by Lokana
Hello, and welcome to the Random Generations Challenge for TS4!

The original challenge was made by Lokana on MTS for TS3, and since TS3 lags like nothing else on my computer, I have decided to re-create it for TS4.

1. Create a founder ā€“ any gender, age, anything goes.
2. Move the founder into a house

In this challenge you will go through 10 generations, each based loosely off the last.

Here they are:

Generation 1: Nature

-Since there is no gardening career, stay unemployed
-Master gardening, cooking, and one or more musical instruments
-Get married

-One of the children must be at least level 3 in the gardening skill

Generation 2: Something Other than Nature

-Get and master the entertainment career
-Have at least 10 friends (originally was 5 star celebrity, so this is my substitute)
-Master guitar, violin, or piano
-Get married after you have reached level 5 in the entertainment career
-Have one child (no more)

Generation 3: Neglected to Loved

-Since there is no career where you work with kids, you must be unemployed
-Master the cooking, writing, and painting skill
-Get married before you grow into an adult
-Have at least 4 children
-Get divorced and never remarry

Generation 4: Perfect Life to Divorced

-Have 2 children

Generation 5: Laid Back

-Break up with the boyfriend/girlfriend after the child is born

Generation 7: Unaffected

-Get and master the athletic career
-Master the logic, gardening, and athletic skill
-Have one child
-Get married after the child's birth
-Have another child before becoming an adult

Generation 8: Benevolent Soul

-Get and master the astronaut career
-Master the athletic, guitar, and handiness skill
-Have a boyfriend/girlfriend
-Have 3 children
-Marry as an adult

Generation 9: Overprotective

-Be unemployed
-Have a child with a one-night stand
-Become broke
-Have three other children with three different people
-Never marry
-Live in a run-down, shoddy house

Generation 10: Runaway

-Get and master a career of your choice
-Master 3 skills of your choice
-Get married while your sim is a YA
-Have 2 children
-Become rich

Scoring:

+10 points for every skill learned
+50 points for every skill mastered
+200 points for every child born
+100 points for every marriage

-50 points for every skill not learned that is required for that gen.
-10 points for every skill not mastered that is required for that gen.
-150 points for every child not born
-300 points for anyone dying unintentionally (Fire, drowning, etc.)
-10 points for anyone who gets lower than a ā€œCā€ in school (exception is gen. 9)

Anyways, I hope you enjoy this challenge! No OP mods and cheats allowed, but feel free to bend the rules if you wish. The original challenge was amazing, and I will be posting my play-through of this channel on my Tumblr. Good luck, and happy simming!

Default The Yates Family
Generation 5 - Laid Back - Mark Yates - 3 children (1 granddaughter so far)

Mark began studying Handiness and Logic while in his teens to prepare for his adult life and career. Mark never had a girlfriend in high school so he scrambled to get married after his YA birthday. His bride was Hannah Berry (daughter of Jasper & Haylee). If he had more time to get to know her, he would have discovered her insanity trait before the wedding. Unfortunately, Mark only became aware of how serious her problems were during their 2nd pregnancy. Mark is now covertly searching for a 2nd wife and hopefully more stable mother for his children while planning his divorce. Mark & Hannah are both doing well in their careers and his mother Lark is nearing the top of hers. Mark married Marjorie Vann and they now have a son. Lark died at Mark and Marjorie's wedding. Mark was abducted by aliens (my 3rd abduction but the 1st alien pregnancy). When Quon (meaning Bright Light) was born, Mark sent him back to his homeworld. Marjorie, who had been a stay-at-home mom, then took a career in Space Exploration to discover the origins of her far-gone stepson.

Child 1 - Nalyse Yates, never married - 1 daughter (Regan McYates)
Child 2 - Odin Yates, unmarried
Child 3 - Pace Yates, married Johanna Goldser - 1 son (Vann Yates)

Mark's twin sister, Mallory is married with a son.
Mark's father, Malcolm II Landgraab married and had a daughter (Claire Landgraab) before his death.
Mark's brother, Geoffrey III Landgraab is married with 2 children.
Mark's half sister, Claire Landgraab is married with 6 children.

Default The Yates Family
Generation 6 - Nalyse Yates - Smooth Sailing - 1 daughter - 2 grandchildren

As Mark's only daughter, Nalyse was a shoe-in for heir. She needed to have an heir without having a spouse. Nalyse began working on her guitar and charisma skill while she was a teenager and was quickly able to work her way into the business career. She began a relationship with childless lifelong bachelor Charles McLandgraab (her father's 1st cousin). Nalyse and Charles are both descended from Geoffrey Landgraab II & his wife Hera Huntington. This relationship resulted in a pregnancy and soon enough, Regan McYates was born. Charles was considerably older than Nalyse and died shortly after Regan's birth. Her mother and father both died and her youngest brother got married.

Child 1 - Regan McYates married alien Jaymes McRae - 2 children (Spyro McRates & Tallulah McRae)


Nalyse's siblings
Odin Yates is unmarried
Pace Yates married Johanna Goldser -1 son (Vann)
Quon Yates was sent back to his homeworld

Default The Yates Family
Generation 7 - Regan McYates - Unaffected - 2 children - 6 granddaughters

As Nalyse's only child, Regan was the heir. Regan joined the ATHLETIC career track and started hunting for a baby-daddy. When she discovered that Jaymes McRae was an alien, Regan was intrigued. Her mother had told her stories of a baby uncle who came from the stars and was returned to his homeworld. Regan and Jaymes hit it off and were soon expecting a child together. Because Spyro was born out of wedlock, he took his mother's last name. After Spyro's birth, his parents took the plunge and starting working on baby #2. Jaymes died before he could meet his little daughter Tallulah.

Generation 8 - Spyro McRates - Benevolent Soul - 3 legitimate daughters (2 illegitimate daughters)

I hadn't picked an heir really I was just letting both kids work toward the next gen goals but then I saw that Tallulah had a career LTW so I let her move out of the house and pursue her dreams. Both Spyro and Tallulah had bf/gf as teenagers because its in the next gen rules. Spyro had Hadley Ridlates (with Amara Acevedo on the side). Tallulah was dating Sebastian Greshauser. When they aged to young adulthood, Hadley & Amara married and Sebastian married a guy. Both kids lost their future spouses to same sex marriage. BUMMER. Since then Spyro has dated two other women and they both got married to someone else. Regan had been working on her late husband's rocket ship for two decades and finally upgraded it fully. Spyro was able to visit his father's homeworld Sixam. There he met scavenged, harvested plants, and met several aliens including Iris Tinsley. In keeping with having a girlfriend, he became serious with her. Just before aging to adulthood Regan died and lonely Spyro tried for baby with his high school gf Hadley and his current gf Iris. At his birthday party, Iris revealed her pregnancy. They were married immediately. After Ursula's birth, Hadley revealed that her newborn daughter Suzanna was Spyro's child. Hadley and her unsuspecting wife Amara are raising Suzanna with their older daughter. Spyro & Iris quickly had two more daughters. At Ursula's teen birthday, Hadley AGAIN showed up pregnant claiming Spyro as the father. After Spyro's 2nd love child was born, Iris confronted Hadley & the kids became aware of the situation. It didn't take long for Amara to find out. She and Hadley decided to work on their relationship and try to strengthen their marriage by having another child together. Just after Amara gives birth to Brendan, Iris dies and Spyro marries Hadley. Spyro & Hadley join their families bringing all 5 of his daughters under one roof. Unfortunately, Suzanna is EVIL and hatches a plan to make her father's 1st family pay for her rocky childhood!

Child 1 - Spyro McYates 1st marriage Iris Tinsley - 3 daughters (Ursula, Valiyah, Wazie) ~ 2nd marriage Hadley Ridlates - 2 daughters (Suzanna & Bianca McRidlates)
Child 2 - Tallulah McRae married Micah Velasquez - 1 daughter (Diane)

Default The Yates Family (now McRates)
Generation 9 - Valiyah McRates - Overprotective - 4 daughters - 0 grandchildren

Valiyah is the middle daughter of Spyro & Iris. Her teen years were a little chaotic when her mother discovered that her father had a mistress and two other children during their marriage. After her mother's death, her father married the mistress and combined their families. Valiyah was very open to her new stepmother and half-sisters but her oldest half-sister Suzanna was resentful, angry, and EVIL. Her older sister Ursula moved out as soon as she could, choosing to live with a distant cousin (Hugo Yates). After their father's death and at Suzanna's terroristic insistence, Valiyah and her younger sister Wazie were kicked out of the home that Albert & Anna Yates built 9 generations earlier. Ursula, Valiyah, and Wazie will temporarily live with their Aunt Tallulah Velasquez.
When Valiyah became an adult, she took what little money her Aunt Tallulah could spare and bought a small 2 bedroom as far from her childhood home as possible. Maybe because she was craving love so much or maybe because she was lonely, Valiyah soon found herself pregnant. The baby's father, Ali Galloway, had only been in town for a short time and Valiyah didn't know how to contact him or if he'd ever come back. She didn't wait around to find out. Valiyah began several other romantic relationships while awaiting the birth. When Xolani was born, the hospital contacted Ali and he hurried back to Sunset Valley and his girls! They were married almost immediately and within a week, Valiyah excitedly revealed a new pregnant belly. This time Ali could witness the birth- but instead Ali did the math and the short marriage was over!! Valiyah had only been with two men since Xolani's birth but this child belonged to the wrong one of them. Marshall Goth is the married, stay-at-home father heir to the Goth fortune. Valiyah stopped him on the street to give him the happy news but Marshall asked her to not contact him again. Valiyah was determined to find a father for her children. She knew what it was like to have him ripped away and her kids would NOT. At Yara's birth, Marshall asked to see her secretly but refused to be involved further. While stressing during the pregnancy with Yara, Valiyah had met a lovely young man. Chadwick Tapiaga was married (but no children) and he was sooooo good with her kids. Eventually Chadwick agreed to leave his wife and start playing family with Valiyah. Very soon they were expecting and became new parents to Zannah Tapiaga. Chadwick did disappear sometimes at night (abductions) and Valiyah would find someone to warm their bed. Eventually Chadwick discovered one of Valiyah's 'friends' and the marriage ended dramatically. Valiyah was again pregnant and her new beau was so freaked out by his confrontation with her husband that he refused to discus their relationship further. Hugo Yates is a very distant cousin and married with a young son. Hugo eventually came around and married Valiyah when his wife kicked him to the curb. Now Hugo and Valiyah are happily raising all 4 of her daughters together.

Child 1 - Xolani Galloway (with 1st husband Ali Galloway)
Child 2 - Yara McRates (with one night stand Marshall Goth)
Child 3 - Zannah Tapiaga (with 2nd husband Chadwick Tapiaga)
Child 4 - Annalee Yates (with 3rd husband Hugo Yates)

Valiyah's sisters

Ursula McRates - married Emery Mejia - twin daughters (Jamie & Jodi)
half sister Suzanna McRidlates - married Byron Fong
Wazie McRates - expecting a child with Carter Tolman
half sister Bianca McRidlates - living with Byron & Suzanna
