Midnights Legacy Challenge
Do you like Taylor Swift? Do you love Taylor’s album Midnights? Do you want to follow along in the sims with the lyrics of Taylor’s songs, while still enjoying the gameplay? Then do I have the legacy challenge for you!
Welcome to the Midnights Legacy Challenge, a thirteen (because of course) generation legacy that focuses on the lyrics and songs from Taylor Swift's newest album.
I have been playing the sims since the original sims and have been a fan of Taylor Swift since Tim McGraw, so this was the perfect way to blend two of my favorite things into one!
Just some quick housekeeping:
Basic Rules:
Generation One: Lavender Haze (Base Game)
Meet me at Midnight…. Has been your go-to phrase ever since you moved out on your own and were a young adult. Throughout your young adult life, you’ve always been a heartbreaker, and career oriented. You’ve had a rough exterior shell, and that’s caused issues in your previous relationships. You’ve always wanted more, but were too afraid to show it until now…
Traits: Gloomy (melancholia), Romantic (love spiral), non-Committal (under scrutiny)
Aspiration: Serial Romantic
Career: Entertainer
Generation Two: Maroon (Base Game)
A real *freaking* legacy to leave…. Watching your parents fall in love, despite all the odds, has made you a bit of a hopeless romantic and a bit naïve. You always grew up listening to your parents love songs, so you want nothing more than to find it sooner than they did. You meet your “one true love” as a teen, so when it ultimately doesn’t work out… you're crushed. Even when you meet your forever partner, if only you could go back to that time when you were so in love and were so sure of everything in this world…
Traits: Snob (your roommates cheap ass screw top rose), Jealous (memory over me), Music Lover (vinyl shelf)
Aspiration: Soulmate
Career: Culinary
Generation Three: Anti-Hero (Base Game, City Living, Discover University, Island Living)
It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it's me…. You’ve always felt like there has been something off with your parents, and you can’t help but feel like you are to blame. To avoid addressing the problems, you’ve been pranking people for as long as you can remember. Your parents stayed together your whole life, but one somber winterfest your non-biological parent broke down and told you, you weren’t theirs.. You have no interest in meeting your other biological parent because your parents are your parents, and you have all the logic to know it’s not your fault, but you can’t stop yourself from feeling like it is. You never want to make your parent’s mistakes…
Traits: Loner (At tea time, everybody agrees), Hot-Headed (I wake up screaming) Hates Children (sexy baby)
Aspiration: Master Mischief
Career: Politician (Like some kind of congressman?) — [Business]
Generation Four: Snow on the Beach (Base Game, Island Living, Snowy Escape, Eco Lifestyle)
Weird but f-ing beautiful…. Your parents gave you everything that you ever wanted, the perks of being a politician’s [successful business person] kid, I guess. Private boarding school, excursions to wherever you wanted, and an unlimited budget. Unfortunately for you, that lifestyle was taken from you the time you turned 18. You thought you had your whole life set, but they want you to appreciate working for a simoleon and understand what it's like to work hard. (Thinks I left them in the will) Too bad working hard has never really been your “thing”. One vacation in particular stuck out to you, and you want to get the hell away from the beach [sand] and move up to the Mountains [water]….
Traits: Adventurous [Active] (I searched aurora borealis green), Freegan [Bro], Loyal (And to hide that would be so dishonest)
Aspiration: Extreme Sports Enthusiast — [Bodybuilder]
Career: Athlete
Generation Five: You’re On Your Own Kid (Base Game, Get Together, City Living)
You’re on your own kid, you always have been…. Your parents, as much as they loved you, always seemed to love the outdoors just a little bit more. Your parents were always with each other, doing outdoorsy, adventurous stuff, but you aren’t like them at all. They were nice and always asked if you wanted to go with them, but they always dug around for their food in local garbage bins [grabbed junk food], and you developed a close-knit group of friends, and did your best to fit in with them, rather than your free-spirited parents.
Traits: Insider [Glutton] (so make the friendship bracelets), Materialistic (I took the money), Bookworm (pages turn)
Aspiration: Party Animal (I hosted parties)
Career: Food Critic — [Secret Agent]
Generation Six: Midnight Rain (Base Game, Get Famous)
*They were* sunshine, I was midnight rain…. Being midnight rain, you feel a comfort in being alone, not always alone, but looking for more. Your parents were always around, but you looked up to the free spirit, fun that your grandparents had more. They were having so much fun just living their life, and you just want to take it to the next level! You had a chance at a love like your parents had, but you were too focused on your goals to take it too seriously at the time.
Traits: Self Assured (chasing that fame), Neat (*they* wanted it comfortable), Foodie
Aspiration: Master Actor/Master Actress (Except when I’m on tv) — [Fabulously Wealthy]
Career: Actor (Pageant queens and big pretenders) — [Astronaut]
Generation Seven: Question…? (Base Game, City Living, Get to Work)
Can I ask you a question…. You watched your parent rise to fame and let one of the good ones go, in contrast, your grandparents were best friends and ended up so happy. Why can’t that happen for you too? You’ve always been an inquisitive one, and wanting to leave no stone unturned and no question unanswered. So, tell me why it always seems so hard for you to find the One? There was a cute coworker at one point, but last you heard they were off looking through telescopes…
Traits: Unflirty [Geek] (wrong choices), Childish (It's just a question), Slob
Aspiration: Renaissance Sim (When *they* said it was too much?)
Career: Scientist — [Tech Guru]
Generation Eight: Vigilante Shit (Base Game)
Lately I’ve been dressing for revenge…. While your parent was busy occupying themselves doing literally the most all the time, you’ve always wanted to be like your grandparents. Not happily married, no. Not just filthy rich, but wearing that wealth. Your parent was a slob, but you want nothing more than to wear the best designer clothes, the most lavish jewels, and always dress to the nines, no matter the cost….
Traits: Kleptomaniac (Someone told *their* white-collar crimes to the FBI), Creative (*They* needed cold hard proof so I gave *them* some), Mean (Don’t get sad, get even)
Aspiration: Villainous Valentine
Career: Style Influencer (Lately I’ve been dressing for revenge)
Generation Nine: Bejeweled (Base Game, Get Together, Seasons, Jungle Adventure)
I can still make the whole place shimmer…. Ever since you inherited a diamond necklace from your great-grandparents, which you are pretty sure your parent stole and replaced with a fake, you have been obsessed with all things shiny. Diamonds, Emeralds, Pearls, Rubies, you name it, if you can polish it and it can shine, you want it. You never cared about showing them off, you don’t want to be flashy like your parents and don’t mind getting your hands a little dirty to dig-up what you can… but you just have always wanted to have at least one of each jewel, they just polish up real, they polish up real nice…
Traits: Outgoing (I’m going out tonight), Dance Machine [Goofball] (And when I meet the band), Ambitious (Familiarity breeds contempt)
Aspiration: The Curator
Career: Gardner — [Painter]
Generation Ten: Labyrinth (Base Game, Cottage Living, City Living, Eco Lifestyle, Cats & Dogs)
Oh no, you’re falling in love again…. Just when you thought you were in your Reputation era; you realize you’ve been in your folklore era this whole time. Betty might have switched *their* homeroom because of you, but *they* will kiss you on the porch in front of all *their* stupid friends. Don’t ask me to explain it, but Labyrinth is an adult Betty. Your parents always grew their own food, so you got used to only eating fresh produce. You have found your one. The one for you, but also the one that is going to put you through the heartbreak. Just when you think it is over, and the plane was going down, they somehow turn it right around…
Traits: Art Lover (Lost in the labyrinth of my mind), Vegetarian, Lazy (Uh oh, I'm falling in love)
Aspiration: Big Happy Family
Career: Freelancer
Generation Eleven: Karma (Base Game, Cats & Dogs)
Is a cat purring in my lap because it loves me… Your parents have had this weird on again, off again kinda relationship that has plagued your whole childhood. Every time they had issues, they would buy you a cat [seed packets to grow your own plants] for some reason like that would save you from seeing their problems… Well, it didn’t but it did develop your love for cats [plants]! So much so, that you decided to throw the whole job idea out the window and just open your own veterinary clinic [and take some part time jobs whenever you feel like it]! Who needs kids when you can have all the fur [plant] babies in the world, so imagine your surprise when….
Traits: Cat Lover [Erratic] (Karma is a cat), Clumsy (flexing like an acrobat), Good (Karma’s a relaxing thought)
Aspiration: Friend of Animals —- [Freelance Botanist]
Career: N/A
Generation Twelve: Sweet Nothings (Base Game, Cats & Dogs, Discover University, Cottage Living, Island Living, Nifty Knitting)
They said the end is coming… Growing up in a very very full household, you learned a lot about how to entertain yourself and how to drown out the outside noise when you just want time to focus and do what you want to do. You found yourself dreaming of this fairytale farm life, where everything is quiet, and calming and relaxing. You even wrote a story once as a kid about how great it would be to grow up on a Christmas Tree farm, and hope you can live on a farm one day. Your parents asked a lot of you and your siblings growing up, be it taking care of all the pets [plants] that overflowed from the vet practice [greenhouse], or to get good grades, you always felt like they wanted great things from you, but they always let you be whomever you wanted to be. To you I can admit that I’m just too soft for all of it…
Traits: Cheerful, Loves the Outdoors, Animal Enthusiast [Family Oriented]
Aspiration: Best Selling Author (On the way home, I wrote a poem)
Career: Educator — [Writer]
Generation Thirteen: Mastermind (Base Game, Get Famous)
I’ve been scheming like a criminal ever since… Your parents were always running around busy either writing, taking care of the farm, or collecting sea shells [minerals] so you rarely got to spend a lot of time with them. But no matter what was happening, they would also find time to read you a bedtime story at night, and it was your favorite part of the day. The adventures in the story of looking for hidden treasure, or fantasy lands and heists filled your mind before dreaming every night. You were always book smart, but you were also street smart, learning how you could sneak a cookie or two while Agnus Crumplebottom wasn’t looking. Checkmate, I couldn’t lose…
Traits: Genius (I laid the groundwork), Perfectionist (If you fail to plan, you plan to fail), Self-Absorbed [Evil] (it was all by design)
Aspiration: Public Enemy (Mastermind)
Career: Criminal (like a criminal)
