A YueTara commission for @zukoisgayforsokka I really enjoyed working on this piece! Thank you for the commission!
(And as always, click for better quality!)
[ID: A digital art piece of Yue and Katara from Avatar: The Last Airbender. They’re sitting together, drawn from bust up, the northern lights in the background. Yue is wearing a purple dress and a cream hijab. Katara is wearing a blue off-shoulder shirt. They both have Transgender pride pins. Yue is looking at Katara while Katara is looking at the sky. Text in the bottom left corner reads:
Art #2 from the @atla18reversebang !!! For the lovely @ljf613 ! We may have had a rough journey but we had a strong finish ♡︎ I cant wait for the next chapter! And thank you to the wonderful @gaylord-zuko for being the Beta!
[ID: A digital art piece of a modern Jet. He’s sitting on a bench in a park in autumn, holding a guitar. His guitar case is open by his feet. Jet is wearing an olive green denim jacket over a graphic Tee and ripped jeans. He has dirty checkered vans. There are leaves on the ground and on either side of the sidewalk. End ID]
I had so much fun drawing this and the getting to cry over read your amazing fic.

[ID: A digital art piece showing three points in time of Kya and Hakoda.
The upper left, from the bust up, shows Hakoda kissing Kya’s forehead. Their eyes are closed and she’s smiling. They’re wearing traditional Southern Water Tribe clothing.
The middle shows Hakoda picking up Kya’s body after her death, a burn/wound on her stomach covered by her hand. Hakoda’s head is down and he’s crying.
The upper right is Hakoda, his hands over his face presumably wiping away tears. He is alone.
The background is a diagonal gradient from white to dark purple. The white has pink petals while the dark purple has red splotches. End ID]
Did you either smile in nostalgia or roll your eyes at the cliche of using the show’s intro? Are you looking for a legacy challenge that helps you explore different aspects of gameplay, all the while making fun callbacks to The Last Airbender series? Well, hotman, you’re in the right place!
This Avatar Legacy Challenge is a 4-13 generational challenge with themes surrounding characters, events, and locations from the Avatarverse, with enough wiggle room to make it fit your unique gameplay style.
Basic Rules
The purpose of this challenge is to complete the Avatar cycle by playing with 4 generations of the same family, but you may play up to 12 generations + 1 bonus gen with the current outline!
Each heir should represent their element or location by color scheme/style. You can base this on the show or your personal likes/dislikes.
You can live in any Sims world unless otherwise specified in the rules of a generation.
You can have as many children as you’d like unless otherwise specified in the rules of a generation.
Every generation is required to complete both the career and aspiration of the heir unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Every generation is required to max out at least 4 skills to represent the 4 elements in the cycle.
If you decide to play this challenge, I’d love to see! Use the tag #avatarlegacy in your posts to share!
This challenge was partially inspired by the super fun Not So Berry Challenge! I wanted to play a similar challenge after seeing others play, but I knew my ADHD would leave me bored after 2 days of unintentionally recreating a popular streamer’s gameplay of the challenge. I wanted my own adventure and way to explore the game. Hopefully you can enjoy it, too!
I spent a lot of time developing this challenge and will actually be sharing episodic gameplay once a week on my YouTube channel starting next week!!
(Also, I’m looking for some extra Sims to add to this gameplay, so if you want to help out and get a shout out in a video(I’m a small channel but want to engage more with others!!), please use the tag “#KimbaSpriteSims” in the Sims gallery. )

Like the cycle of the seasons, the cycle of the Avatar must begin anew.

Generation 2: Earth - Omashu
Earth is diverse and strong. Growing up, you are in constant competition with your sibling. Who will get better grades? Who can swim for longer before becoming tired?

Or, at least stronger than your sibling.

Fire is the element of power. You’re hot headed but have a heart of gold. Still, you feel like the black sheep of your family, especially when you’re sent away to live with your Aunt/Uncle as a teen.

Generation 5: Water - Foggy Swamp
People always tell you that you’re not what they expect. You love your animals like members of your family, even to the annoyance of said family. You’re the child of a world renowned conservationist, and all you want to do is live off the land. Like…. really off the land. If it can be found in a dumpster, why bother paying full price? You may be a slob, but at least you’re not wasteful.

Generation 6: Earth - Ba Sing Se
If you had to choose a nice word, you would describe your childhood home as “Eclectic.” A second-hand mid-century modern, bohemian rustic farmhouse nightmare may be a better descriptor.

Lights! Camera! Action! Growing up, your parent always encouraged you to follow your dreams… as long as they were lucrative, anyway. And what pays the bills more than being famous? Actor by day, playwright by night, there’s never a moment where you’re not hustling. The critics love to hate you, but who cares if you’re the best actor in the world if you can’t spark joy in others?

Generation 8: Air - Western
Let go your earthly tether. Enter the void. Empty, and become wind. You’ll achieve your goals, even if you make yourself the enemy. Die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain. Spurred by your parent’s vanity, you seek acceptance among the other kinds of stars and outcasts. There’s a lot of injustice in the world.

Generation 9: Water - Northern Water Tribe
You grew up in a hectic household. Your parents were very open minded and encouraged chaos as freedom. You form a special interest in Vampires and the occult at an early age. It’s possible you might be a little obsessed, but what’s the harm? As a Young Adult, you become a Doctor in order to better connect with people. And if it makes you feel a little powerful, well… There’s nothing wrong with that.

You’ve had cabin fever since the day you were born. You’ve always longed for more… Adventures, romance, and meeting new people! While your parent works long hours at the hospital, you are out on your own adventures. And when they are home, you make it a point *not* to be, lest they try to get you and your friends to read their weird Vampire tomes. You never turn down an opportunity for adventure–you’ll rest when you’re dead.

Generation 11: Fire - Boiling Rock
Growing up, you are surrounded by fine art and ancient artifacts, so is it any wonder why you become an Art Lover with sticky fingers? You like the finer things in life but generally lack the funds to acquire them legitimately. You are the life of the party and host events at any opportunity given to you. Sometimes your chaotic nature will get you into trouble, but you are not one to back down from a fight!

Generation 12: Air - Northern
You are that kid who responds to every instruction from an adult with the question “Why?” Partially because you know it annoys the heck out of the adults! You love knowing how things work and find fulfillment in making things with your own hands. You consider your home your biggest Work in Progress and continuously add rooms and extensions that would put the Winchester Mansion to shame. You just want to make the world more exciting with lots of cool and flashy gadgets!
Never have a romantic relationship with labels (boyfriend/girlfriend/fiance/spouse)
Must live in the same house from Young Adult through Elder, and never remove walls–you can only add more.

Generation 13: Republic City
Your family has come a long way and had many adventures. You feel both pride at their ambition as well as the desire to do better. Growing up, you feel like you’re the parent sometimes, and you miss out on the carefree aspect of being a child. Your only escape is your favorite video game, Sims Forever. You know you’re not perfect and have your own struggles, but you still strive to continue your legacy and heal the world–along with your own generational trauma.
Just haanging with the gaang. Okay I’ll stop haha. I love doing group shots when the group is a colourful bunch, so the Avatar group is perfect for this! My favourite is Sokka, cause I’m a sucker (ha) for a good pun.
