GEN ONE: FARMER FAMILY

The simple life is the life for you!

Tending to your farm, nightly family dinners, and knowing everyone in your community. You're living the small town dream.

You and your partner are best friends! Not only best friends, but almost the same person. You have the same goals in life and help each other achieve them! Working together to grow your garden and take care of your animals is only the beginning. 

Once you started having children, something you've always dreamed of, your farm only expanded from there! Everyone in the house has their own jobs; whether that be cleaning, gardening, cooking, tending to animals, etc. You make money by selling your own products and over time, you become the biggest family run farm in town!

Although you love all your children, as you get older you realize there needs to be someone to pass your land onto. You've worked so hard on it your whole life after all! Out of all of your children, there seems to be a clear choice on who it should be. You live your last days preparing this child to run the farm once you pass, and feel comfort in knowing they will continue your legacy!

GOALS:

• Have the Family Oriented and Loves Outdoors traits
• Complete the Country Caretaker Aspiration
• Max the gardening skill
• Must live on at least a 50x40 lot
• Start on only a portion of your lot, expand throughout your life until the entire lot is farm land
• Have a partner with the same aspiration as you (wether you create them in CAS or meet them in game)
• Have at least 3 children with your partner
• Win at least 2 town fair contests
• Have Simple Living lot challenge on home lot
• Unlock the People Person lifestyle 

GEN TWO: Content Creator

Although they would never admit it, you have always been the outcast in your family.

Things that came naturally to them were always undesirable to you. You love them and they love you, but that doesn't change the obvious. When they were all getting dirty outdoors, you were in your room in your own little world.

Video gaming is your number one passion! After attempting to conform to farm life your whole childhood, your parents ended up getting you a computer as a teen and your world changed from there. Playing games, streaming, watching other gamers, making friends online- you realized for the first time ever just how big the world is beyond your small town!

Your teen life was spent staying up as late as possible and gaming until you couldn't keep your eyes open anymore. After becoming a young adult and being immersed in fantasy worlds for years, you decide to move to the city for a fresh start!

Talk about culture shock, everything was different here from where you grew up! Luckily for you, you meet your future spouse soon after moving which makes the transition a lot easier. You start your streaming/YouTube career and blow up! Your videos become so popular that you become a B-lister!

You're known as a down to earth celebrity to most, probably because of the way you grew up. In fact, most of the money you earn goes straight to your child! Your parents let you be exactly who you were despite it being very different from them, and you want to do the same thing for your child. Even if that means spoiling them rotten!

GOALS: 

• Have the Squeamish trait 
• Complete 2/4 parts of the Computer Whiz aspiration
• Become famous by streaming, posting videos, etc. 
• Make and sell your own video game
• Move to the city as a young adult
• Mary someone from the city, who you meet once moving there
• Max the Media Production and Video Gaming skills
• Unlock the Techie and Coffee Fanatic lifestyles
• Have only one child who is very spoiled
• Become at least a 3 star celebrity

GEN THREE: DISILLUSIONED DREAMER

You can achieve anything you want to- right?

Growing up being an only child, you were the apple of your parent's eyes. Okay maybe that's an understatement. You got everything you wanted growing up. You wanted a pet? They got two for you. You wanted to travel? They brought you anywhere in the world. You decided you wanted to be a musician? They bought you the most expensive instruments to choose from. In fact, that's exactly what happened!

Your parent was famous for their passion, so why can't it be the same for you? You fell in love with making music and, more importantly, the idea of being famous. One day you will go on a world tour and be the most famous musician in the world!!

Fast forward to your adult life: you're living in a place payed for by your parents, you spend a lot of time at bars and parties, and (worst of all) you're not famous for your music. Why are all your dreams not coming true? You spend many nights performing on the street, at cafes, at bars, or anywhere really. 

The only good thing to come out of these performances was meeting your spouse. After a long defeating night of playing music to strangers who couldn't care less, you meet the one person who took the time to listen and appreciate your music! Someone finally understanding your musical genius? It felt like love at first sight

Your parents ended up buying you a music store for you to run once they realized your music career was most likely not taking off (of course they didn't say that part to you). While you loved owning your own business centered around music, you knew it wasn't your life calling

Even though your dreams never became reality, you never stopped hoping. You constantly told your kids (and anyone who would listen) that one day you will tour the world as a musician! You'll show them one day...

GOALS:

• Have the world famous celebrity aspiration, but do not complete it
• Have the music lover and Self absorbed traits
• Maintain at least ‘good friend’ level friendship with both of your parents throughout your life
• Go all in on different hobbies as a child until you find music
• Perform on streets, bars, coffee shops, your music store, etc. 
• Marry someone you meet while performing
• Own music store (retail) bought by your parents (you can use money cheats for this if it’s easier)
• Max mixology skill
• Unlock Junk Food Fiend lifestyle 
• Have a pregnancy, get someone pregnant, or adopt multiples (Twins, Triplets, etc.)

GEN FOUR: BOHEMIAN BACKPACKER

You've always been a 'go with the flow' type of person.

Most of your relationship with your parent growing up was them telling you how they will 'travel the world one day'. Of course they were talking about their delusions of being famous, but all you heard was 'travel'.

Every once in a while, while hanging out at your parent's music store as a kid, you'd meet someone from a part of the world you've never been to. You always had a million questions and wanted to experience it for yourself, but where should you live as an adult? The answer: everywhere! 

You decide to pack everything up and see the world! From the beaches of Sulani to the snowy peak of Mt. Komerebi, you want to experience it all!

If there was a non-materialistic trait, you would have it. Material possessions only distract people from appreciating Mother Nature anyway! You (and your partner) sell photographs or collectables to get by, but the goal for you is never to make a lot of money. 

In true free spirit fashion, you never get married. I mean who needs a piece of paper to prove how much you love someone? You still have kid(s) and have a beautiful and healthy relationship. That's all that matters. 

You spend your life embracing different cultures and appreciating the beauty of the world.

GOALS: 

• Complete either The Curator or Outdoor Enthusiast aspiration
• Have Loves Outdoors and Cheerful traits
• Max Photography and Herbalism Skills
• Unlock Frequent Traveler and Outdoorsy lifestyles
• Have at least one child and live with your partner, but never get married or engaged
• Live in at least 5 sim worlds in your life
• Never have a “normal” home. Live in: a treehouse, van/RV life, a cabin, a boathouse, etc.
• Never have a job, make money by selling things

GEN FIVE: REMOTE WRITER

If there was a contest for most introverted person in the world, you wouldn't even enter because that sounds too social for you.

The only company you need is your own mind. Besides, when you grow up moving around as much as you did, it's hard to make connections with other people. Luckily, that's just how you like it. Your parent was obsessed with seeing the world, but you're obsessed with creating your own worlds. You've wanted to be a writer for as long as you could remember.

You acted like an adult even as a child. Your parent's view of the world was definitely not shared by you. In fact, you wasted no time in moving out on your own. Finally it was time to live life your way- the right way. 

The only thing you didn't expect or plan was meeting your partner. Most of your relationship was formed online instead of in person, Which is how you preferred it. Once you did meet in person though, you moved in together and eloped as soon as possible! I guess when you know, you know.

You spend most of your time writing in your office and having your daily routine that you don't change. Even writing best selling novels and having kids doesn't make you stray from your norm. That is until you have a new idea for your next book...

You become obsessed with the paranormal! You even decide to move your family into a secluded haunted house in order to write this book. Which is without a doubt the most spontaneous thing you've ever done in your life, maybe even more than getting married so quickly.

You end up leaving behind a legacy of books you wrote and the family you had... but most importantly the books.

GOALS:

• Complete the Best-selling Author aspiration
• Have loner trait
• Max writing skill
• Unlock Indoorsy lifestyle 
• Meet someone/form relationship online, get married and have kids fast when meeting
• Rarely leave your house
• Never has good friend, besides maybe your family
• Live on a haunted house residential lot type
• Move into a secluded haunted house as an adult.
• Name children after famous authors and/or famous literary characters

GEN SIX: SPOOKY SOULMATES

You've always been a believer in fate.

Growing up was hard in a family like yours. Never having many social interactions and having been raised by your strange parents, you've always been a little different. Thanks to fate, you meet someone as a child who is just like you! You two always seem to click and there's times when you feel like the same person. After being best friends, you start dating as teenagers because it just felt right. To be honest, you've been in love with them your whole life!

When your parent moved your family into a haunted house, fate struck again. You couldn't believe there's this whole other part of the world out there, and at the same time it made complete sense! The only person who believed you though was your partner. Being the only person to confide in about this made your bond that much stronger (if that was even possible). 

After the initial shock of learning about the paranormal, you realized there's a reason it came into your life. You're a medium.

No wonder why you've always felt so different! Your whole life now made sense and you can see how you've been pulled to this destiny. You even hone your skills enough to eventually become a paranormal investigator!

Once you and your partner get married, you buy a house of your own that is not haunted. When it comes to your career, while you're very passionate about it, you decide it's best to not bring work home with you if you can help it. 

As much as your job means to you, your relationship was and always will be the center on your world. You fill your home with beautiful memories and children. Growing old together with your best friend and soulmate, you are endlessly thankful to the universe for bringing you two together.

GOALS:

• Complete the Soulmate aspiration 
• Have the Romantic and Loyal traits
• Meet someone as a child who becomes your best friend and partner
• Max the Medium Skill
• Own a cat as an adult
• Become a freelance paranormal investigator, work in a part time job until you can join this career
• Once married, have a date night with your partner at least once a week
• Have at least 4 kids
• You and your partner have a gothic aesthetic
• Have a vow renewal with your spouse as an adult or elder

GEN SEVEN: FURRY FRIENDS FUREVER

Animals are so much better than humans.

Your family cat growing up was your best friend! You were always a little socially awkward, but animals never judged you. You took your pet to the vet anytime they needed it, and it was there that your animal fixation grew. Adults can spend all day with animals instead of other people? Why wouldn't everyone do that??

You grew up seeing your parents have the most perfect relationship ever and thought that you should have the same thing, so you married your first ever partner just like they did. Only for you, it wasn't meant to be. After having kids with your spouse, you both realize you can't force the relationship anymore. You decide to get a divorce and split custody of the kids.

Even when it's the right thing to do, divorce is hard, so you decide to focus on what makes you happy- your business. Your vet office ends up thriving after throwing yourself into your work. No more forcing things that aren't meant to be! You end up never getting remarried or having another long term relationship again. Some people (like your parents) would feel empty without a partner to share their life with, but you spend your life with your animals and children. You wouldn't have it any other way.

GOALS:

• Complete Friend of the Animals aspiration 
• Have the Socially Awkward and either Cat Lover, Dog lover, or Animal Enthusiast traits.
• Become companions with every pet you have.
• Have at least 3 types of animals on home lot at a time: cat, dog, fish, hamster, bees, cow, chicken, llama, etc. 
• Own/run a vet office
• Get divorced after having child/kids
• Split custody with ex spouse (ie. use manage worlds to move the kids back and forth)
• Max veterinarian skill
• Drastically change hair after divorce 
• Never remarry

GEN EIGHT: HEALING HEART

You try to spread peace everywhere you go.

Watching your parents go through a divorce when you were a kid really changed you. You didn't understand why they couldn't just get along or why they got together in the first place if they ended up being so different? You hated when people fought and that's all you saw from them growing up. You make it your mission in life to spread light and joy everywhere you go because there's just not enough of it!

You work in the self-care industry teaching yoga, giving massages, doing nails, and overall trying to make people feel good. You try to always practice what you preach, living a healthy lifestyle yourself. 

You tend to stay away from romantic relationships because of what happened with your parents. You love the idea of falling in love and spending your life with someone, but the hurt that could come from that just isn't worth it to you. 

In a possible lapse of judgment, you have a one night stand with your best friend. It definitely wasn't planned but the result will be permanent because... you end up having a baby together! Despite this, you decide not to start dating. You're too worried it would ruin your friendship or, worse, end in you two breaking up and making your child go through the same thing you did. That's your biggest fear.

You remain best friends as you raise your child together, always living right next to each other and being very hands on parents. There's times where you find yourself wanting more, but your inner voice talks you out of it every time. Until...

One day, your child already being a teenager at this point, your best friend confesses their love for you! You've both always felt it, but neither of you acted on it until now (and when your child was conceived of course). The thing that you've lived your whole life thinking was your biggest fear, suddenly didn't seem so bad. The unthinkable happened. Your mind set changed in an instant and you didn't want to spend another second not being with your person. You feel a weight being lifted from you when you finally allow yourself to love. You didn't know happily ever after existed until you experienced it yourself, and you live the rest of your life being head over heels in love!

GOALS:

• Complete Self-care Specialist aspiration
• Have the Vegetarian and Cheerful traits
• Max Wellness skill
• Unlock the Health Food Nut and Energetic lifestyles 
• Make money by teaching yoga and giving massages and manicures
• Have a one night stand with best friend resulting in a child
• Do not start dating baby’s other parent until they are a teenager
• Before getting together, always live right next door to best friend and raise baby together
• Help your child raise their first child

GEN NINE: QUIRKY CREATIONS

You're a thrift store come to life. 

For as long as you can remember, people have always described you as quirky. You gladly accept this label! You try and make just about everything you can from scratch. Need a new pair of socks? You knit them! Want a candle for your room? You hand dip one! Your room growing up becomes a collection of various nicknacks and your own artistic creations. 

You start dating someone as a teen who you don't have a lot in common with- a result of teen rebellion maybe? Well, one thing lead to another and you end up having a baby! You tell your partner and they don't end up being as excited as you to say the least. They end your relationship and refuse to be in your child's life. Of course this isn't how you wanted things to go, but they made their decision and you make yours. You're so excited to be a parent and luckily have the help of your own parents.

As your baby gets a little older, you realize you'll need to find reliable income and live independently at some point! You always sold your creations on Plopsy, but you're too extroverted to do that forever. You decide to open a little shop where you sell your own creations as well as other vintage goods! This shop is the physical version of your personality- Quirky! From old books, to clothes, to antiques; if you can find or make it, you sell it!

As luck would have it, you meet your future spouse at your own store! Your personalities match perfectly and they even embrace your child as their own- and you do the same! Both being single parents is something that bonded you from the beginning. You get married and have even more kids together! Your big blended family ends up being your favorite creation you've ever made.

GEN TEN: OCCULT OBSESSED

If you could choose to change your identity, what would you pick?

You discovered your life purpose the day you found a book on occults as a kid. Your parents shop was always collecting old books that you liked to go through. You loved reading but the subject of the book never stuck with you until now. Are Vampires real? Mermaids? Spell Casters and Werewolves?? At first you loved learning more about this world of fantasy, but then that fantasy became a reality.

Being a person of logic, you learn everything you can about each occult, but it wasn't enough. Once you become a young adult you decide to set out to find answers first hand. After traveling to what felt like each corner of the world, you end up meeting someone of each different occult type. You learn from them, even the interactions that aren't as friendly show you so much about their world. Each time you think you should be satisfied with the knowledge you've gathered, you only want to know more.

After your travels, you decide there's only one thing to do. Become an occult.

You pick the occult that you've grown the most obsessed with and do whatever it takes to become one yourself! Moving forward you completely immerse yourself in this occult and the community you have as a result.
