Overview

You’ve heard of the Not So Berry Challenge… now get ready for the Very Veggie Legacy.

This is a silly follow-up to the Not So Berry challenge that my friend alwaysimming and I wrote back in 2017. Last year my Twitch community raised over $600,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and during the fundraiser I promised to write a new legacy challenge as a charity incentive. When starting to write the challenge I knew I wanted it to follow a similar format to Not So Berry, but maybe just a little goofier. Then Lovestruck came out and I saw that eggplant costume… and inspiration struck. Now I have written a ridiculous vegetable themed legacy challenge. Welcome to the Very Veggie Legacy Challenge. 

I am often asked about writing extensions to Not So Berry, or about making adjustments to incorporate features from newer packs. I don’t personally have intentions to ever change Not So Berry much from how it was originally written. It is already 10 generations long, and I think it would be impractical to extend it further. I’m also really happy with the existing rules, and I think that they’re a product of their time. Rather than replace existing rules, I would rather keep them as they were originally intended and create something completely new. The Not So Berry challenge has taken on a life of its own in the past few years, and I feel that it belongs to the community now. Other people have already written extended editions and base game versions, and for me to change anything would take away from what Not So Berry has become. Instead, we turn to vegetables. 

Much like Not So Berry, this is a color based challenge. Instead of basic color themes, each generation is themed after a different vegetable. It is recommended to theme your Sim, their outfits, and their home around the vegetable they are inspired by. For example, I would have the Carrot generation wear all orange and live in an orange house.

This is a “rags to riches” style legacy challenge, so you must start on an empty lot with $0. Create your Sim and move them to any lot of your choice, and then cheat all of their money away. You must start from scratch. You will grow your home and your family from nothing, much like a seed grows from the dirt. 

The primary goal of this challenge is to have fun, goofy gameplay. None of these rules are set in stone, and please feel free to adjust them to fit your own personal style or own personal needs. I won’t be offended if you swap something out, or if you decide to use money cheats. Consider this more of a guideline. I’m simply writing the rules as I intend to play them.
