Foreword
Thank you for being interested in my expansion of Kateraed's Whimsy Story Legacy! I found myself looking for something different in a challenge - something that took me through multiple different career tracks and aspirations and traits (even the negative ones), something where my actions as one heir actually affected the next... and, of course, something with a connected story behind it all.
In my search, I came across two challenges I really liked:
- Kateraed's Whimsy Story Legacy
- Jvniperanite's Celestial Scenario (no longer available, sadly)
Jvniperanite's Celestial Scenario did something I hadn't really seen in challenges before - an event and ending system, with consequences for the heirs to follow. Sometimes those consequences were great!
And sometimes, they created new difficulties for the heirs to follow. On top of that, they introduced specific events; these weren't just goals, these were things you had to take time to do during your playthrough, outside of checking off the boxes.
Kateraed's Whimsy Story Legacy introduced ten generations with wonderful backstories, and I immediately fell in love with the histories each painted for the heirs. The generations felt connected in a way that many others didn't - maybe because the premises were so thorough.
I wanted to combine the gameplay aspects from the Celestial Scenario with the detailed storylines of the Whimsy Story Legacy, and while coming up with events and endings for each of the Whimsy generations, I kept thinking up with ideas for even more of them.
... So now, I've expanded the original Whimsy Story Legacy from ten generations to a total of thirty generations, and each one now comes with unique events, goals, and endings to keep you going from heir to heir with different traits, skills, lifestyles, and aspirations. If you don't have the packs needed for something, you can mix it up along the way with your own choices. I've included some recommended mods, but you can do this just with vanilla gameplay, too.
Thank you to Kateraed and Jvniperanite for their original challenges, and thank you reader for your interest! I hope you have a wonderful time. Use #TS4WhimsyExpanded for me to snoop on your posts about the challenge! 😘

Quickstart
Short Guidelines
- About generations... select the specific traits and aspirations noted. The rest can be your choice.
- Focus on the specific skills noted. The rest can be your choice.
- Follow the goals and events. The rest can be your choice.
- Select your endings based on goal completion. These affect your next generation.
- Follow the heir selection / succession rules. Keep on going!
About other rules
- Avoid money cheats and freerealestate unless the generation allows it.
- Play on normal / long / custom lifespans.
- Use mods if you want - I use a ton of them.
- Ignore rules you don't like, and make up ones you want.
- Read the parts of the full guidelines in bold lettering for better info!
Readability and packs
- I'm creating this with all packs in mind; if you don't have something that works for you or would prefer to use a feature from a pack that isn't mentioned, just go for it! I hate the Eco Lifestyle NAPs, I'm not a fan of the interior design career, and I don't like Baatu. High School Years' exam system is broken for me, so I skip doing them manually. Prom and Career Day also break if you have Seasons set to anything over one week. You can add those in where you see fit, if you like them.
- All traits / aspirations / skills should have their associated pack written next to them. If there’s a trait or event that you can’t do, you can either omit it entirely, or you can replace it with something that seems equivalent.
- All other gameplay / script mods are generally permitted. I use a bunch for quality of life. Feel free to do the same - it's more important to enjoy the game.
- Ignore the rules you don't want, and make up ones you would like to see. Make it yours!
Reading Time and Numbers
- Reading time is an estimate based on word count and typical density. Use as a guide.

FAQ
What\'s different between the original Whimsy Legacy and this?
The original Whimsy Legacy offered a premise and goals for ten generations, but that was all. I like having objectives and consequences in my gameplay. I\'ve expanded those ten generations to include more goals, plus new events, consequences, and heir selection / succession rules. I\'ve also added 20 more generations on top of those, for a total of 30 generations. Wowza!
Which generations are from the original Whimsy Legacy, and which ones are new?

01: From the Ground Up
02: Close-Knit Family Ties
03: An Unexpected Arrival

28: Hero of Humanity (NEW in 3.0.0)
29: Lackadaisy Life
30: Full Circle
Which generation should I play first?
If you are brand-new to both the Whimsy Legacy and Whimsy Legacy Expanded, start with Generation 01: From the Ground Up. That way, you experience it all - it\'s long, but worth it. If you have played the original Whimsy Legacy but have not played this Expanded version, start with Generation 09: Moonlit Destiny. That way, you skip most of the original legacy and get right into the Expanded stuff.
Can I skip a generation if I don\'t like it?
Absolutely. This is a long legacy. Skip around if you want, or skip generations entirely. That\'s A-OK.
Will you update the Whimsy Legacy Expanded for [insert pack here]?
Most likely! I make updates to this legacy challenge when I have a few packs to go through at a time or when a really major pack is released, just to make it worthwhile. Feel free to ask me on tumblr for updates on timing, etc. if it\'s been a few packs and I haven\'t said anything about an update.
Will you update the UI PSD for [insert pack here]?
Probably not anytime soon; I\'m less interested in posting screenshots these days, so it\'s unlikely that I\'ll update it unless it\'s something I plan to also use. Feel free to update it yourself and send me a link; I\'ll post a link to your version of the file here for others to see.
This is really long.
Yeah. I write a lot. Sorry!
What about...
Feel free to send me a message on tumblr, and I\'ll answer it as soon as I can!

Guidelines
Traits, Aspirations, and Skills
- All necessary traits, aspirations, and focused skills are listed in each generation. If there are free traits / aspirations, you may choose them for your Sim. Otherwise, the listed traits / aspirations are considered mandatory.
- Skills are noted for information about which ones you\'ll be focused on - but you are not restricted to only learning those skills. Just keep them in mind.
- Infant traits should always be randomized, unless otherwise noted. The same goes for infant / toddler quirks; some may be specified as part of a generation’s events or goals, but they should otherwise be randomized or you should use whatever the game bestows upon your infants / toddlers.
- While you are still unsure who the heir will be, you can temporarily use whatever traits you want. However, you must change them with cheats immediately upon succession if they differ from what is necessary at time of succession.
- Unless otherwise noted, mandatory traits may not be changed through self-discovery.
- If you have ‘any trait’ as a starting condition, you may change these freely through self-discovery at your discretion.
- Unless otherwise noted, there are no restrictions on how many or which additional traits may be gained through self-discovery. Go wild!
- Unless otherwise noted, you may use any childhood or teenager aspirations you want; simply change your heir\'s aspiration to the specified aspiration at succession.
- You may optionally choose to select the generation\'s aspiration as a teen, if you want - this is the only time a ‘head start’ is allowed for heirs.
Goals and Events
- Each generation lists several goals / tasks, which are put into the most optimal order for completion; the order doesn\'t really matter. It\'s not a deal breaker if you don\'t complete the goals; these mostly affect your endings, and are there to help facilitate the story. Ignore some if you want.
- Each generation has one or more major life events you need to complete. These are often noted in the goals as well, for ease of checking it off your list. You do not have to do the events multiple times.
- There are some goals and events that use mods, just for extra fun. These are optional, and can be ignored if you don’t want to use the mods recommended.
Heirs, Succession, and Endings
- Unless otherwise specified in the generation’s goals / events, you are free to choose whether to conceive a child, have a science baby, or adopt a child. All are heir-eligible, if they meet the succession criteria for each generation.
- The heir is chosen by specific rules each generation. Follow these!
- Your story should focus on the current heir until specified in the Succession section. You can still control all sims; this is primarily for story. In general, try not to work too hard toward your next heir\'s goals until primary focus is on them. There are generations where the story may focus on both heirs at once for a period of time. Both may work toward their goals at this time, and will be explained in those sections.
- Once you meet the criteria for succession, you must consider that generation complete, and check for endings. If there is an exception to this, it will be explained in the generation.
- Each generation has an ending that affects your next generation\'s heir at time of succession; check the endings to determine how to move forward. Endings are achieved either upon death of the current heir, or at the time of succession and switching solo, primary focus over to the next generation\'s heir. To see which ending you achieve, check off which goals / tasks / criteria you meet beneath each ending. The one with the most boxes checked is your ending. If it is a tie, roll a random number to decide which ending you get. Endings are just for extra flavor and fun! You don\'t have to follow them, but I hope you do find enjoyment with them.
- Don\'t forget to document your family tree, and consider keeping a memento from each generation in your family inventory between moves.
Gameplay and Cheats
- You may freely choose whether you want to use townies or pre-made Sims as potential friends / partners / spouses / etc.
- You may play on normal or long aging; you may not play with aging off. I recommend playing with one-week seasons because of bugs in the game. Otherwise, you should consider two-week seasons. My age cycle duration recommendation is ~266 days / 38 weeks total. This operates in 7-day increments (aside from newborns) to keep things fair. It is meant to allow university as a Young Adult without worrying about starting a family late in life.
- Immediately upon succession, you may use a cheat to reset your new heir\'s age to day zero of their current age tier in order to better complete their story. This is optional. If you do not do this immediately at time of succession, you give up your ability to do this in the future.
- Most endings specify traits / lifestyles / etc. that must be applied using cheats.
- Unless otherwise specified, you must move into the worlds noted each generation. By default, you must pay unless a generation specifies freerealestate.
- You may purchase trait rewards at your leisure; rewards may only be redeemed / used by the Sim purchasing them. You are allowed to use an anti-aging potion purchased from the rewards store once per generation; it must be used by the Sim making the purchase.
- Mods allowing the inheritance of bonus traits are permitted - and encouraged.
- Money cheats are not allowed, unless otherwise specified in the generation.
- Each generation will specify if or when you are allowed to move in other Sims, or when you need to move your current heir out of their childhood home. Friends are not permitted to move in with you, but you can have an NPC roommate if you live in an apartment. Try not to keep too many family members with you - let your heirs live their own lives! Unless otherwise noted, partners / spouses / Sims moving in are not permitted to bring more than $5,000 with them upon move-in.
- Tutorial quests (such as 'Scoring Simoleons') should generally be avoided, but you can do them if you prefer having extra money / skills / whatever.
- I\'m creating this with all packs in mind; if you don\'t have something that works for you or would prefer to use a feature from a pack that isn\'t mentioned, just go for it! I hate the Eco Lifestyle NAPs, I\'m not a fan of the interior design career, and I don\'t like Baatu. High School Years\' exam system is broken for me, so I skip doing them manually. Prom and Career Day also break if you have Seasons set to anything over one week. You can add those in where you see fit, if you like them.
- All traits / aspirations / skills should have their associated pack written next to them. If there\'s a trait or event that you can\'t do, you can either omit it entirely, or you can replace it with something that seems equivalent.
- All other gameplay / script mods are generally permitted. I use a bunch for quality of life. Feel free to do the same - it\'s more important to enjoy the game.
- Ignore the rules you don\'t want, and make up ones you would like to see. Make it yours!

SUCCESSION
Heir Selection: G02H (CKFT) should be the child with the highest relationship to the G01H (FtGU) when the G01H ages into an Elder; if it is a tie, the role of G02H (CKFT) defaults to the oldest child between the tied heirs.
Succession: Succession occurs the moment that the G01H (FtGU) becomes an Elder, even if the G02H (CKFT) is not yet a young adult. If not a young adult yet, they may remain in the childhood home until they age up.
Endings: Check the boxes for each criteria you meet at the moment you switch to your next heir. If selecting an ending before death, just ignore those boxes. Your ending is the one with the most boxes checked off. If there is a tie, use a random number generator to choose your ending.
- Suburban Bliss: Mastered all of the focused skills; Completed the listed aspiration(s); Managed to build a respectable home during young adulthood; Your garden continued to flourish throughout your life; You left behind $15,000 or more for your heir to take upon move-out; Had multiple children; Had positive relationships with all children at time of succession; Spouse still alive at time of succession.

The Generation 2 Heir will begin their story with the Home Turf bonus trait, which should be added manually. The heir may take a maximum of $15,000 when splitting the household; if funds are insufficient, use money cheats to give the heir $10,000 total after the split.
ENDINGS
- Suburban Bliss: You led a life surrounded by love; a home that grew into a long legacy.
- The Lives We Leave Behind: You faced hardship and kept your garden alive to teach your descendants.

SUCCESSION
Heir Selection: G03H (AUA) should be the science baby, or the youngest adoptee who can bear children. If none can bear children, then the G03H (AUA) should be the science baby - just rework the story prompts to better fit your scenario.
Succession: Succession occurs the day after the G02H (CKFT) gets married or dies, whichever comes first, even if the G03H (AUA) is not yet a young adult. If not a young adult yet, they may remain in the childhood home until they age up.
Endings: As in Gen 01, with ending names such as Richer and Poorer variations (omitted here for brevity).
The Generation 3 Heir will begin their story with the Compassionate and Incredibly Friendly bonus traits, which should be added manually. The heir may take a maximum of $10,000 when splitting the household.
(Further Gen 02 content continues in the same pattern...)

Gen 03: An Unexpected Arrival
PREMISE
Unplanned, but certainly not unwanted.
As soon as you\'re of age - after whirlwind teenage years of partying, skipping classes, and turning in homework late - you become a mixologist at the local bar. You are a clumsy Sim who fears the sound of commitment, but loves to have a good time.

- (MODDED) Voulez-Vous: During the first half of your young adulthood, complete the 'try for baby' interaction with three different Sims in one night. Do not test for pregnancy at all; wait until the next couple of days and see if your Sim experiences any symptoms of pregnancy. If not, do it all over again. If your Sim cannot get pregnant, first check all three partners for pregnancy; if none are pregnant, try again OR randomly select one of your partners to have a science baby with three to seven days after the one-night stand, as if a baby was dropped off at their doorstep by an unknown partner.
- (MODDED) When All is Said and Done: Choose whether to parent the child alone, confront the correct partner, or approach a different partner to claim that the child was theirs. In the event you choose to confront or approach a partner (regardless of whether they are the correct one), start an argument with them and then play out the scenario from there.
