General Rules

  • Play on Normal lifespan
  • Occult sims are optional!
  • Feel free to give sims corresponding hair, clothes, and house color schemes, but this is completely optional!
  • No cheats that will give you an advantage over other players
  • No money cheats!
  • Begin gameplay with a starter budget
  • If any of these rules make gameplay less fun, ignore them! I want this challenge to be enjoyable for everyone <3

Generation 1: Red

Even before you achieve fame, you’re the most feared intern in the office. You are confident, sassy, and will do whatever it takes to succeed. You rise through the ranks of the staff at the San Myshuno Times, making enemies and forging alliances along the way. You’re an acquired taste, but your stamp of approval is desired by up-and-coming and professional artists alike.

Traits: Self-Assured, Art Lover, Mean

Aspiration: Painter Extraordinaire

Career: Critic - Art Critic

Goals:

  • Complete the Painter Extraordinaire aspiration
  • Max the Critic career in the Art Critic branch
  • Max the Painting and Charisma skills
  • Become at least a 2-star celebrity
  • Marry a coworker OR a sim with the Snob trait (if a coworker has the Snob trait, even better!)

Generation 2: Orange

Your parents weren’t the nicest people, but you never cared. You had an uncanny ability to make everybody laugh, and it filled you with joy. You love making others happy, but your motivation is often lacking. Your first two romantic relationships fail due to your apathy and lack of effort. You’d much rather tell some jokes or stream yourself playing guitar than go on a date. Your carelessness leads to two unplanned pregnancies, and to no one’s surprise, you’re not the most involved parent. But when you get older, you meet someone who you decide is worth fighting for, and your first successful relationship begins...

Traits: Goofball, Lazy, Cheerful

Aspiration: Joke Star

Career: Entertainer - Comedian

Goals:

  • Complete the Joke Star aspiration
  • Max the Entertainer career in the Comedian Branch
  • Max the Comedy, Media Production, and Guitar skills
  • Complete the snow globe or postcard collection (your choice!)
  • Have two children with different partners; don’t stay with either of them
  • End up with a sim who’s not the biological parent of either of your kids
  • Never get married

Generation 3: Yellow

Your childhood was chaotic; whether it was an insufficient amount of income, a lack of good parenting, or your parent’s new fling that caused the instability. As you got older, you decided that no other child should grow up in such an unstable place. So, you decide to become a politician. Your lack of money growing up also caused a fairly materialistic mindset in you. You desperately want to be wealthy, and save nearly every penny you make.

Traits: Ambitious, Outgoing, Good

Aspiration: Fabulously Wealthy

Career: Politician - Charity Organizer

Goals:

  • Complete the Fabulously Wealthy aspiration
  • Max the Politician career in the Charity Organizer branch
  • Max the Logic and Charisma skills
  • Gain and maintain a pristine reputation
  • Donate to every charity at least twice (100 simoleons the first time; 1000 simoleons the second time - after that, it’s up to you!)

Generation 4: Green

You were always the kid with dirt on your face and carrot sticks in your lunch instead of chicken nuggets. Therefore, you were always the kid who got teased. But it didn’t matter. You had your plants and your outdoor crafts and your baking, and you were happy. And then you met your spouse, and you were even happier. You got married young, and are fiercely attached to your partner. You’ve never had a person to yourself before, but them? They’re yours. At first, you’re happy together. But then the honeymoon phase ends, and you learn that you are NOT meant for each other. The final straw is when your spouse cheats on you. Your divorce follows quickly after. But it’s okay. You love your plants and your outdoor crafts and your baking, and they love you.

Traits: Vegetarian, Maker, Jealous

Aspiration: Freelance Botanist

Goals:

  • Complete the Freelance Botanist aspiration
  • Max the Gardening, Fabricating, and Baking skills
  • Marry your high school sweetheart, but divorce them for cheating on you shortly after becoming an adult
  • Never have a career; sell your plants, fabricated items, and baked goods for money

Generation 5: Blue

Your parents didn’t have the best relationship; in fact, it was downright awful. You inherited your parent’s love of nature, but your biggest desire is to raise a happy family. As a young adult, you move to the beautiful island of Sulani, the perfect place to raise a family and make a positive change to the environment.

Traits: Family-Oriented, Loves Outdoors, Child of the Ocean

Aspiration: Big Happy Family

Career: Conservationist - Either Branch

  • Complete the Big Happy Family aspiration
  • Max the Logic and Parenting skills
  • Max the Conservationist career (either branch)
  • Complete the seashell collection
  • Live on an Off-The-Grid lot until your first kid ages up into a Child

Generation 6: Purple

Your parents always told you your intelligence was a gift, and the sky was the limit. And you took that to heart. You dream of being the first sim to discover aliens, and through your dedicated work in the field of science, you succeed! But then you are abducted, and your love of aliens turns to fear.

Traits: Genius, Paranoid, Bookworm

Aspiration: Nerd Brain

Career: Scientist

Goals:

  • Complete the Nerd Brain aspiration
  • Max the Logic and Rocket Science skills
  • Max the Scientist career
  • Marry another scientist
  • Be abducted by aliens and get pregnant (you may cheat for this, and it is up to you if you keep the baby or return it to its home world)

Generation 7: Pink

Your parents were paranoid beyond belief, and spent more time inventing devices to protect themselves from the “aliens” than they did spending time with you. So, your bestest friend growing up was your dog/cat. Animals are your main focus, things such as romance and friendships falling to the wayside. As an adult, you move out with the desire to open and run your own veterinary clinic. You treat every patient and pet owner with the utmost respect and class, and your clinic quickly reaches 5 stars. You don’t have any plans to fall in love or get married, but when a client catches your eye, you know it’s fate. You only have one child together, and it’s quite late in your life, but you don’t regret it. Well, that’s a lie. You do regret dying while your child is so young. They needed you, but you couldn't be there.

Traits: Unflirty, Proper, Cat Lover/Dog Lover (your choice)

Aspiration: Friend of the Animals

Career: Veterinarian

Goals:

  • Complete the Friend of the Animals aspiration
  • Max the Veterinary and Pet Training skills
  • Own a 5-star vet clinic
  • Marry a pet owner who comes to your clinic
  • Have only one child as an adult; die while they’re a teen

Generation 8: Black

Your parents died when you were just a teenager, and in order to make ends meet, you began to “borrow” from your neighbors. A friend of yours hooked you up with a bit of a shady job, and it turned out you were pretty great at being a criminal. Your hacking skills are unparalleled, but your cleaning skills? Not so much. You and a fellow coworker have an on-and-off romance, but when you both discover there’s a baby on the way, you decide to make it official. But after your child is born, you know it isn’t working out, and you call it quits. Your kid sees their other parent on the weekends, but mostly live with you in your messy apartment. Suffice to say, you are not a stellar parent, but you try. Your child just seems miserable all the time…

Traits: Kleptomaniac, Geek, Slob

Aspiration: Chief of Mischief

Career: Criminal - Oracle Branch

Goals:

  • Complete the Chief of Mischief aspiration
  • Max the Mischief, Video Gaming, and Programming skills
  • Max the Criminal career in the Oracle branch
  • Have a flirtation with a coworker. Become an official couple when you/they get pregnant, but go back to being friends after your child is born
  • Only have one child

Generation 9: Gray

You’re not miserable, per say, but you are not a happy sim. Because of your chaotic childhood, you like things neat, tidy, and perfect, but that’s rarely how life works out. In fact, your life is a mess of business deals, horrible bosses, and passive-aggressive coworkers. Working in business is not fun! You dream of finding love, but that’s a bumpy road as well. After two failed relationships, you finally meet the one. But hey, three is the magic number!

Traits: Perfectionist, Gloomy, Neat

Aspiration: Soulmate

Career: Business

Goals:

  • Complete the Soulmate aspiration
  • Max the Logic and Charisma skills
  • Max the Business career (either branch)
  • Meet your spouse after two other failed relationships
  • Have a minimum of three kids

Generation 10: White

You were the youngest of 3(+) siblings, and the most chaotic of them all. You’re a wild whirlwind, and your parents were worn out before you even learned to walk. As a kid, you get your first violin, and it changes everything. Your pour all your spastic energy into your music, your greatest passion. Your future spouse is just as passionate about their creative hobby, and while you two never have kids, you continue to birth your creative ideas until you die.

Traits: Creative, Music Lover, Erratic

Aspiration: Musical Genius

Career: Entertainer - Musician Branch

Goals:

  • Complete the Musical Genius aspiration
  • Max the Violin, Guitar, and Piano skills
  • Max the Entertainer career in the Musician branch

Call me Tommy - Tommy Shelby

Pairing: Thomas Shelby x Fem!Reader

Request: No. This is another imagine taken from my Wattpad. I wanted to try something different with this one.

Warnings: There's a little swearing. Rose is the name of Tommy and Reader's daughter, Caroline is the name of Rose's daughter (Tommy's and Reader's granddaughter) and Jennifer is the name of Caroline's Daughter (Tommy and Reader's great-granddaughter), hopefully that all makes sense. Grace and Charlie did happen but Lizzie and Ruby didn't because that would have added more confusion for me. There is also names for Reader's siblings. This isn't meant to be cannon in any way, shape, or form.

DISCLAIMER: The GIFS I use are not mine and I take no credit for them. I just find them on here and on Pinterest.

ITALICS ARE FLASHBACK'S TO 1925

Jennifer walks into her elderly grandmother's room at the rest home. Though the 92 year old doesn't remember much from the last 60 years, Jennifer still loved visiting her Grandma Rose. She enjoys listening to the stories Rose tells her, ever since the young 30 year old woman was a child. Her Grandma Rose told the best stories and in the best way. And Rose never forgot telling them to her. It was one of her memories that refuses to fade.

Chapter Two: Some Like It Cold

Pairing: Steve Harrington x f!reader

Summary: Hocus Pocus AU. You, Steve, and Dustin find out just who you’re up against and make a plan to try and defeat them.

Word count: 6600

Warnings: Swearing, canon-typical death/violence/horror/blood

A/N: This chapter is also my contribution to @sparklingsin’s Spookinktober event! My prompt was Halloween sleepover which I realised fit perfectly into this chapter, so I hope you love it!

You stared in bewilderment at Steve, then Dustin, then the dashboard in front of you as you tried to process everything they had just finished telling you. You could feel their eyes on you as you tried to compose your reeling mind. The weight of the spell book on your lap did not help to ground you, and you determinedly kept your eyes off of it. 

“So basically…” You trailed off, trying to find the right words. “There’s another version of Hawkins in another dimension-”

“The Upside-Down,” Dustin supplied helpfully.

“Right. And there are monsters that come from the Upside-Down, which you guys have been fighting for a few years.”

“Uh-huh.”

“And we just summoned three monsters from that other dimension, which could mean the end of the world.”

“Technically it was Steve that did the summoning, but yes.”

“Not the time, man.” Steve glanced across at you in concern. “Are you okay? It’s a lot to take in.”

At that moment, Dart placed his front paws on the back of your seat and leaned forward to look at Steve with his big green eyes.

“Take a left up here please,” said the cat politely.

Steve gave you an incredulous look as if to say “please tell me I’m not the only one that can hear him” and you let out a shaky breath as he followed the cat’s directions.

“Let’s just…do what the immortal talking cat tells us for now and think about whether or not I’m okay later.”

Not So Berry Legacy Challenge

Do you like the rainbow? Do you like the idea of playing with berry Sims but hate berry Sims? Do you want to mess around with aspects of the game you’ve never used before? Boy, do I have the challenge for you!

Welcome to the Not So Berry Legacy Challenge, a ten generation legacy with a focus on bright colors and new experiences.

Basic Rules:

  1. Each heir must represent the color of the generation (i.e. hair, makeup, clothing), but brightly colored skin is not necessary (these aren’t actually berry Sims, that’s the joke)
  2. The colors of the spouses don’t matter as they aren’t part of the challenge. Unless otherwise stated you can do whatever you please with them.
  3. Money cheats can be used, but not excessively. Suggestion: use freerealestate for your first home, but no cheats afterward.
  4. You may live wherever you please unless something is specified in the rules of a generation.
  5. Every generation is supposed to complete both the career and aspiration of the heir unless explicitly stated otherwise.
  6. Keep the lifespan on normal.
  7. If you play this challenge and want to share it with us, go ahead and post with #notsoberry so we can see!

My good friend @alwaysimming​ and I kind of created this challenge on accident, but I think it turned out pretty great. We wanted to make something that forced us to play with parts of the game we’ve never explored before. Hopefully you’ll have fun too. You can follow our gameplay on @mintiphresh​ and @lea-fey​ (pronounced “minty fresh” and “leafy”)!

Made a couple very slight updates after Parenthood and a few changes in wording to some of the rules.

As for traits related to growing up + Parenthood: we are not adding any of these as requirements. They are entirely up to you.

Family Dynamics Challenge 2.0

Henlooo, so the family dynamics challenge is originally by Pastellapixels and standingsimmer and all the credit goes to them! However I just changed it here and there because it's been so long since the challenge was updated and there are a few new additions to the game, career and aspiration wise. if you guys have any suggestions, or if you wanna correct me on some stuff please do let me know!

General Rules

  1. Begin with a single sim
  2. No cheats or mods that serve to enhance gameplay over other simmers (MC Command Center is permitted for baby gender/number control and risky woohoo only)
  3. May use “freerealestate on” when starting the first generation ONLY
  4. Custom saves are allowed, and encouraged, to add an infusion of new gameplay opportunities
  5. Each career and aspiration must be completed unless expressly stated otherwise (if a career branch is not specified, then the choice is completely up to you!)
  6. Have fun! Don’t let the rules of this challenge confine you and inhibit your creativity. Unless the rules explicitly direct you, we encourage you to make the gameplay your own

Generation One: “White picket fence”

From the time that you strike out on your own as a young adult, you dream of cultivating loving familial relationships as rich and unique as the dishes you love to create. You marry younger than some of your friends, raise a bundle of children, and enjoy gardening and entertaining in your spare time. Yet, you still devote a portion of your life to your hidden dream of becoming a master chef.

Traits: Outgoing, Foodie, Family-Oriented

Aspiration: Successful Lineage

Career: Culinary (Master Chef branch)*

Rules:

Family Dynamics Challenge

Greetings, fellow simmers! Welcome to the landing page for our Family Dynamics Challenge, specifically created for the Sims 4. This challenge was created by Pastella Pixels and standingsimmer with the goal to set forth a unique (and fun!) set of guidelines for a ten-generation legacy challenge centered around a variety of family dynamics.

If you choose to play this challenge on any platform, please feel free to use the hashtag #familydynamicschallenge so we can enjoy your gameplay too!

General Rules

  1. Begin with a single sim
  2. No cheats or mods that serve to enhance gameplay over other simmers (MC Command Center is permitted for baby gender/number control and risky woohoo only)
  3. May use “freerealestate on” when starting the first generation ONLY
  4. Custom saves are allowed, and encouraged, to add an infusion of new gameplay opportunities
  5. Each career and aspiration must be completed unless expressly stated otherwise (if a career branch is not specified, then the choice is completely up to you!)
  6. Have fun! Don’t let the rules of this challenge confine you and inhibit your creativity. Unless the rules explicitly direct you, we encourage you to make the gameplay your own

Generation One: “White picket fence”

From the time that you strike out on your own as a young adult, you dream of cultivating loving familial relationships as rich and unique as the dishes you love to create. You marry younger than some of your friends, raise a bundle of children, and enjoy gardening and entertaining in your spare time. Yet, you still devote a portion of your life to your hidden dream of becoming a master chef.

Traits: Outgoing, Foodie, Family-Oriented

Aspiration: Successful Lineage

Career: Culinary (Master Chef branch)*

Rules:

  • Complete at least five (5) gold-level dinner parties
  • Master cooking and baking skills
  • Marry as a YA and stay happily married until “death do us part”
  • Have 3-4 children
  • Maintain a garden with at least 10 unique plants, including a cowplant
  • Complete at least ¾ levels of aspiration

*Upon completing level 5 of the Culinary career, you may also choose to leave the career and open a restaurant instead

Generation Two: “Why ever leave?”

You were raised to believe that “home is where the heart is.” And because of this, you rarely venture into the outside world unless given a really good reason to do so. You choose not to leave your parents’ home to pursue your own path at the same time that a lot of others do. Video games and programming became your passion while holed up in your basement bedroom, and thankfully your career of choice doesn’t require a lot of socialization. Leftover pizza, anyone?

Traits: Lazy, Slob, Geek

Aspiration: Computer Whiz

Career: Tech Guru (eSport Gamer branch)

Rules:

  • Win a GeekCon competition while cosplaying
  • Meet spouse at GeekCon
  • Master programming and video gaming skills
  • Play the guitar as a hobby (no skill requirement) 
  • Order pizza for dinner at least one night per week
  • Never move out of childhood home until parents have died

Generation Three: “Support my family”

Being raised by a parent with an affinity for keeping close to home never quelled your sense of adventure and love for the outdoors when growing up. You love finding hidden treasures and collecting “useless” items, hoping to convince others of their value. Being made a single parent at a young age only helped to build the desire within you to remain free of the clutches of a “normal” job or relationship. And so, you devote your heart to running your own business and being the best parent that you can.

Traits: Cheerful, Unflirty, Loves the Outdoors

Aspiration: The Curator

Career: Self-employed (owns a retail store and sells collectibles/woodworking creations)

Rules:

  • Become a single parent as a young adult
  • Master handiness and charisma skills
  • May sell items at Flea Market whenever possible
  • Visit the secret lot in Oasis Springs
  • Travel to a vacation world at least 3 times

Generation Four: “Laugh away the pain”

Let’s be honest: you had a pretty good upbringing. Even though there were some rough patches, you know that your parent did the best they could to raise you alone. But, deep down, being alone is the very thing you fear more than anything. So, you cover it up with laughter,…both the laughter which bubbles from inside you and that which you try to create in others. You marry young in a desperate attempt to fill the emptiness that drives you, only to find later that your spouse has chosen another. Eventually, you have to face the fact that your family and the laughter are enough to hold you up. Oh, and did we mention you mix some crazy DJ tapes in your free time?

  • Marry first GF/BFas a YA
  • Turn blind eye to spouse’s cheating
  • Eventually divorce spouse; never remarry

Generation Five: “Struggling in the city”

You come from a broken home. Growing up, you witnessed first-hand the havoc that infidelity can bring on a family. You determine from a young age that you will pour your soul into forging close relationships with your spouse and children. The city draws you, and it is there that you decide to make your home. However, despite your best efforts as a doctor later in life, tragedy claims one of your children long before their time. You wear a shroud of sadness from then on, but find that the love of your remaining child(ren) and your ability to express yourself through song might just pull you through in the end.

  • Have more than one child
  • Win at karaoke night at least once
  • Lose one child to death
  • Visit child’s grave at least once per week; leave their bedroom untouched

Generation Six: “Living with a broken heart”

You lost a sibling at a very young age and witnessed your parents’ grief while still trying to process it yourself. Rather than trying to pick up the pieces, you let the sadness consume you. You give into your darkest thoughts. Theft and criminal activity appeal to you, and eventually you give yourself over to that lifestyle. Even though you’re more at home in your contemplative solitude, you take comfort once in a one-night-stand. But there’s a surprising side to you; the raging in your heart is only calmed by the time you spend cultivating life in the soil.

Traits: Kleptomaniac, Loner, Vegetarian

Aspiration: Public Enemy

Career: Criminal

  • Run away from home as a teen & never speak to parents again
  • Do not “inherit” any money from parents
  • Garden as a coping method
  • Master mischief and gardening skills
  • Steal at least 10 items over the course of generation
  • Have a one-night-stand with a coworker that results in pregnancy

Generation Seven: “Here to make a difference”

There is only one word to describe your childhood: lonely. You knew from a young age that the parent you lived with took no pleasure in your company, and you’ve always felt that you were the “mistake” that resulted from a careless decision. As a result, you pour effort into building relationships with those who truly care about you, and even attempt to mend relationships with those who don’t. You have a core group of people who mean the world to you, and you spend as much time with them as you can. Becoming a politician was an obvious choice, as it provides you with the tools you need to reach others. And while you’re a social creature by nature, you never turn down the opportunity to curl up with a good book.

Traits: Good, Insider, Bookworm

Aspiration: Friend of the World

Career: Politician (Charity Organizer branch)

Rules:

  • Attempt to mend relationships with estranged grandparents and parent
  • Maintain a club of “besties” from YA onwards
  • Have a movie night with club once per week
  • Master the charisma and wellness skills
  • Marry a club member
  • Read at least 10 unique books over the course of the generation
  • Have at least two biological children and adopt at least one child
  • Volunteer with family at least twice

Generation Eight: “Working with animals is my passion”

Growing up, you were constantly surrounded by family and close friends who loved you. But you desired more than just human interaction. Animals are your passion, and your biggest dream is becoming a vet and opening your own clinic someday. Even though starting up your own business means you have to live with your parents longer than most of your friends, you don’t mind because it means you’re close the people you love. In fact, closeness and similar interests cause you to fall in love with someone who works at your vet clinic, and they don’t mind that you can’t yet afford a place of your own. In your “spare time” (hah!), you enjoy photographing places near and far, searching for that perfect shot. Between trying to run a successful clinic and your photography hobby, you’re not able to spend as much time with your children as you like. But that’s okay; you’re out there living your dreams.

Traits: Cheerful, Self-Assured, Cat Lover OR Dog Lover (player chooses)

Aspiration: Friend of the Animals

Career: Self-Employed (runs a vet clinic)

  • Live with parents until they die while trying to get clinic off the ground

  • Master veterinarian, pet training, and photography skills
  • Achieve 4/5 star vet clinic rating
  • Must take at least one photo in every world
  • Have collage wall in their clinic of pets

Generation Nine: “Business-minded and musically-inclined”

Your parents worked hard for every penny that they earned, but you were just left feeling like they didn’t care about you as much as the animals they tended. Your grandparents are your closest friends while they’re still alive. After all, they practically raised you. As a young adult, you desire the family you feel you never had and start a family quickly…only to find out that you’re married to someone you don’t love as much as you should. You have a “responsible” 9-5 at the local business office, but you also possess real musical talent. Even though you would never consider leaving your job at the office, investing in your music is something you do quite regularly. You eventually remarry after finding real love, and enjoy the rest of your life mediating a mixed family. Will you find true happiness amidst the wealth and your high-powered job?

Traits: Ambitious, Clumsy, Snob

Aspiration: Musical Genius

Career: Business (Management branch)

Rules:

  • Become good friends with one or both grandparents
  • Marry and have at least one child; divorce spouse
  • Later remarry and have at least one child (think “Yours, Mine & Ours”)
  • Master piano and charisma skills
  • Achieve level 5 of either the violin or guitar skill
  • Hire and keep a butler
  • Eat out at a restaurant at least once per week

Generation Ten: “I will make our happy ending”

Objectively speaking, your life is great. You never really wanted for anything as a child. The overactive imagination that you possess lends itself perfectly to your love of writing. The supernatural fascinates you, but more than anything you desire to find true love. When your significant other suddenly dies prematurely, you immediately begin to seek out a way to bring them back to you. As you search, drinking becomes your method to quiet a broken heart and provide a false sense of peace. But at a time when your hope begins to lag, your decision to adopt a child despite your own childlessness is the final push you need to persevere. You succeed in creating your own happy ending following a long line of sims with odd stories: some happy, and some not.

Traits: Hot-Headed, Creative, Erratic

Aspiration: Soulmate

Career: Self-employed (writer)

Rules:

  • Master writing and gourmet cooking skills
  • Achieve level 5 of mixology skill
  • Find true love at a young age, significant other dies prematurely
  • Successfully resurrect significant other
  • Adopt a child before spouse is resurrected

Not So Berry Legacy Challenge

Do you like the rainbow? Do you like the idea of playing with berry Sims but hate berry Sims? Do you want to mess around with aspects of the game you’ve never used before? Boy, do I have the challenge for you!

Welcome to the Not So Berry Legacy Challenge, a ten generation legacy with a focus on bright colors and new experiences.

Basic Rules:

  1. Each heir must represent the color of the generation (i.e. hair, makeup, clothing), but brightly colored skin is not necessary (these aren’t actually berry Sims, that’s the joke). Of course, this is optional but a big portion of the fun.
  2. The colors of the spouses don’t matter as they aren’t part of the challenge. Unless otherwise stated you can do whatever you please with them.
  3. Money cheats can be used, but not excessively. Suggestion: use freerealestate for your first home, but no cheats afterward.
  4. You may live wherever you please unless something is specified in the rules of a generation.
  5. Every generation is supposed to complete both the career and aspiration of the heir unless explicitly stated otherwise.
  6. Keep the lifespan on normal.
  7. If you play this challenge and want to share it with us, go ahead and post with #notsoberry so we can see!

My good friend @alwaysimming​ and I kind of created this challenge on accident, but I think it turned out pretty great. We wanted to make something that forced us to play with parts of the game we’ve never explored before. Hopefully you’ll have fun too. You can follow our gameplay on @mintiphresh​ and @lea-fey​ (pronounced “minty fresh” and “leafy”)!
