The Sims 4 Musicals Challenge!
The Musicals Legacy Challenge
Basic rules: Live in a starter home at the start of every generation, in whatever world you want, unless otherwise specified. Lifespan on Normal. If you fail to complete any part of any generation, you fail the challenge. If your favorite isn’t in the challenge, don’t worry! You can choose to add any characters you love and choose just how much your story is like that of the musical. Above all, have fun, my fellow thespians!
Note: This post contains spoilers for the following musicals: Hamilton, Tuck Everlasting, Mamma Mia, Waitress, Heathers, Wicked, Dear Evan Hansen, La La Land, Legally Blonde, and Little Shop of Horrors. I warned you.
I tried to make this as gender neutral and open for interpretation as possible. You don’t have to follow the musicals exactly! I also tried to make other options for those who don’t have all the packs! (Like me!!) Be creative with your material and make the stories into your own. Have fun!
Gen 1: Hamilton

-Lose your friendship with your coworker after a fight.
-You must die in the same way your child did, in the same place.
Your life has never been the same since your mother and sibling died, and the house has been terribly quiet and boring since. You want adventure! You want to go to the fair! You want… To know what’s up with your neighbors?

-Get to level 6 fishing, and master the dancing skill. (If Get together isn’t owned, master the Charisma skill)
-As a child, meet your neighbor, a teenage sim, for the first time. You become good friends almost instantly. You see them drink life essence, to which their family responds by kidnapping you. (Add yourself to their household first, so you may control this) (Their home must have the Private Dwelling lot trait. There must be a cowplant on the lot)
-During your time there, you must become friends with everyone in the household, and good friends with the teenage sim.

-The teenage sim decides to watch over your family. Be sure they do not age from a teenager. (Cheat this) Every heir from this point on must become good friends with them. They can date your sims as a teen if wanted, but cannot marry them.
Your family was wonderful, but when it came to it, they didn’t want the same things you did. You want to be a singer. You just hope your life will turn out the way you want it to.
-Traits: Romantic, Goofball, Music Lover
-Musical Genius aspiration
-Get to at least level 7 Singing skill (Guitar if City Living is not owned) and level 5 Handiness

-After you have your child, switch careers to Business (Management branch)
-When your child becomes a young adult, meet one of the three people again. Marry them within two days of seeing them again.
*(Note: It is best to use the risky woohoo mod for this.)
Gen 4: Waitress
You were always close with your mother, but you clearly inherited her bad luck with dating. It’s okay though. You just bake all of your feelings into a pie. This one’s called, “Bad Luck Blackberry Pie.” Is that okay to write on the menu?
