The Sims 4 - Avatar Legacy Challenge
Water. Earth. Fire. Air.
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. )
Book 1
Like the cycle of the seasons, the cycle of the Avatar must begin anew.

Generation 1: Water - Southern Water Tribe
Water is the element of change. You’ve always been great at going with the flow! Which is good, considering you’ve found yourself in a new neighborhood with nay 1 simoleon to your name.

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?

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?

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.

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.

unruly hearts week|day five - au day
Pokemon AU where Alyssa and Emma are Pokemon trainers who have focused their life on helping hurt Pokemons from the wild and releasing them once they are in full health. They have their own bunch that has grown attached to them, but they both became companions to a Vulpix and Cyndaquil who were both fiery in personality and motivation that it allowed them the chance to get closer (and later together) through trying to find ways to heal them and get them stronger to withstand a fight for self-defense.
