Welcome back to our fourth (already!!) decade of the decades challenge! After the cowplant-induced-death chaos of the 1910s, the 1920s is much tamer in comparison. Buckle up for some beautiful era-appropriate cc, a tonne of maxing out of skills, and some unintentionally immortal elders.
Welcome back to my decades challenge! It’s taken me a little longer to get this decade played/written up just because I went back to work this week after having some time off, and I’ve not really had the energy to play much after a long day at work!
But anyway, welcome to the 1910s – marking the First World War and a lot of chaos to come…
What’s this? Me actually continuing a sims save after starting to post it? Miracles do happen.
ANYWAY! I am back with the 1900s – full of a ridiculous amount of laundry, homework and birthdays. Buckle up!
Hi hi! It’s been quite some time since I last posted on this blog (…about three years, oops). I kind of fell out of love with the Sims for a while, and went through phases of playing lots of different games, and having lots of big life changes happening.
All this to say…I’ve been playing the sims again recently and having a great time! I stumbled upon the Decades Challenge and the ruleset by cutecoffeegal – and I’ve loved trying this kind of restriction-y challenge out again! (And also, getting to explore the wonderful world of historical custom content – which is always exciting, especially as someone who regularly doesn’t use much cc – honestly, I only had default skin/eyes and a couple ui-style mods installed up until recently).
I’m playing with the time rules of 1 year = 2 sim days/ 1 decade = 20 sim days. So with this logic, although I have Seasons installed, the seasons aren’t really going to correlate with the time of the years (because a whole year will have occurred in a couple days). With this, it means that this isn’t going to be a one-generation-per-decade kinda save, but I’m going to do my best to update the house/decor and clothing/hairstyles as much as I can when the decade changes. I’m aiming to just post each decade in one go – so prepare for an onslaught of screenshots down below! There won’t really be any storytelling here, more just gameplay and me talking through lil things that have happened throughout playing. I’m keeping a load of spreadsheets to help me keep track of time, my sims traits and scoring, mostly so I can keep track of what’s going on whilst I’m playing and so I could note down traits/aspirations etc for when I was going to post this!
And now, after that rambley explanation…let’s get to it!

Welcome back! We’re onto the final chapter of generation 2!
Just a word of warning: this is going to be a fairly short chapter in comparison to previous chapters, just because not a lot happens except birthdays and the like!
Welcome to chapter 4 of generation 2, and yes I will continue to spam you with pictures of the cat as much as I can.
Welcome back to chapter 3 of generation two! Whew! Time flies when you’re having fun.
Minor (spoiler-y?) warning prior to beginning this chapter: there is some attempt at story creation in this chapter and I’m warning you because I know what’s happened in my head but I’m not entirely sure how well this is going to translate to text. You’ve been warned!
