I’ve decided to take on a new challenge within my Azura-Spark genetics challenge when our heir Parker becomes an adult!

I have a lot of sim families. I’m not sure if I have stated it before, but my plan for my genetics challenge is to incorporate all of my different family legacy saves into my current Azura-Spark family generation by generation. By doing so, I can (1) stop worrying about finally finishing off all of the unfinished legacies and (2) all of the heirs/heiresses can continue their family legacy within my currently active one.

There’s a small problem with this plan, however. I really, really want to do one of the other family legacy challenges in addition to my current genetics challenge. I keep getting tempted to start the Not So Berry legacy challenge. I already have too many damn legacies that I haven’t finished yet, so I certainly don’t want to start over again. Therefore, while going forward with the Azura-Spark family, I’m going to start doing the Not So Berry challenge in addition to trying to obtain specific genetics traits from each heir.

The different colours for each generation are going to be added using a heir/heiress from my old family legacies if they provide the colour I need for the next generation. This means that even though this is the “not so berry” challenge, there will definitely still be berry sims in this family legacy. The Not So Berry challenges begins with the colour green. It just so happens that The Cloud family left off with a green male sim as heir. Once Parker ages up to an adult, the Not So Berry challenge will start with Parker Azura-Spark and Kale Cloud as a couple. In the event that I don’t have an old legacy family to insert for a colour in the generations that follow, I’ll make a new sim, use one of my non-legacy sims, or find a townie that I like.

I think that doing multiple challenges with many of tasks to complete will keep me busy enough that I’ll stop restarting my family legacies over and over. At least, that’s what I’m hoping will happen, hahaha. I also won’t be inserting many story plots because I always seem to suddenly run out of inspiration to write, which is another reason why I suddenly abandon a family! So this is going to be almost purely gameplay. I’ll still add the occasional dialogue, but I think I’ll just try to keep the dialogue to the speech bubbles that I see in the sim’s discussions. I really like doing dialogue that way in The Sims 2. =)

This is Lilthali Lysytsya Iristra! She will be my new botanist in the Seasons expansion. ❤

Here’s a bit of a story about how she came to be:

My eyes are a mix of three colours in real life: dark green, dark blue, and honey. I figured, “Hey, why not give Alice, Lylith, and another character my eye colours?” Alice got light blue instead because dark blue eyes look strange on her. Lylith, on the other hand, looks amazing with dark green eyes. Assigning the honey eyes was much more difficult.

I didn’t feel like Violet was a good fit, so I didn’t give her the eye colour. I tried playing with several different ideas for a completely new character, but none of them felt “right”. After trying to recreate my lahn from Black Desert Online in The Sims 4 for the past two days, I realized that I finally found her!

The story behind her name is that I have been going by “Lylithalice” (after Lylith and Alice Iristra, obviously) on a few social media accounts lately. I decided to try and draw a name from that and took it right from the middle, hahaha. Lilthali took Lylliannah’s middle name because I scrapped poor Lylli for the time being. “Lysytsya” is one of my favourite Ukrainian words, which means “fox”, as in the animal. I think it is so pretty. I keep changing my mind about who should have Lysytsya as middle name because my new favourite original character keeps changing, lol. I thought about giving her Lylliannah’s full name, but it didn’t seem to fit. As for Lylliannah herself, I just can’t seem to figure out where she fits into the story I’ve been trying to sort out. Violet is still around, but that’s another post for another time!

I tried updating Alice and Lylith’s faces a little while back, but I ended up going back to the old one because I couldn’t get used to the changes >_> . I did change their eye colours, though. I might edit their jaws and chins at some point too…maybe… <_<

Nikki tried to pass off onions as tomatoes and sell them to the poor townie girl 😀

Bahahaha! =)

I have way too many sims that I don’t even use, lol. I really need to get back to playing my legacy families or writing stories so I can start using some of these sims!

Aleksey Spark
Aspiration: Best Selling Author
Traits: Insider, Muser, Happy Toddler, Outgoing

I used http://createarandomsim.com/ to choose Alek’s aspiration and traits.

I missed the screenshot of him blowing out his candles, but another sim day passed and Alek’s birthday arrived! He aged up with the wrong hair colour, but that’s nothing a quick makeover can’t fix!
