Timeline Adventure Challenge Tracking Spreadsheet
This challenge is my baby. It's my favorite of all the challenges I've written, and is the one that is the hardest to keep updated and current. that being said, it's also (in my opinion) the most fun of my challenges. If you're even the tiniest bit into history or storytelling or using your imagination... this challenge is for you. This link leads to a spreadsheet for tracking your progress in the challenge. The spreadsheet also includes collection trackers, ways of tracking all your sims and what they know, as well as a concise and (hopefully) easy to understand form of the full challenge rules. (For Full rules, see https://www.illusorythrall.com/challenges/original-epic-challenges/timeline-adventure/ ).
From the challenge description:
"Welcome to the Timeline Adventure Challenge! This is a story-based generational challenge that will take you through history from the Stone Age into the future. It is not for the faint of heart, as it spans more than 40 generations. I based the rules off of having all of the expansion packs (excluding the Star Wars one) and I will be trying to keep this updated with new packs, but it would still be possible to complete if you're missing some by either skipping the generations pertaining to the missing pack or changing the goals for that generation. Also: if you are too scared of the full 30+ generations, feel free to pick and choose which generations to play as you go (although you'd miss large parts of the story) and just have fun with discovering history. There is also a hefty dose of fantasy in this challenge and it does include the Supernatural states. The Sims game itself requires some imagination to play, and so does this challenge. If this isn't up your alley, you could either skip the more fanciful generations, or find a different challenge. This challenge follows a family that starts in Europe and eventually comes to the USA, so expect the history involved to follow that track, as well. This is not so much a building challenge as it is a game play and "Legacy" challenge, and, to that end, I will be providing lots I have built for each generation and era. You are NOT required to use them, however. I highly encourage building your own lots - I've had as much fun researching the architecture as I have playing the challenge. The provided lots are linked from a greenish box at the end of each generation's rules, and will be filled out as I work my way through testing the whole challenge. I have also tried to make this challenge appropriate for all and as family friendly as possible. There will be death and woohoo, however, as those are things that really can't be avoided.
One final note: this challenge truly is designed for story-tellers at heart. If that story-telling means your story takes a different turn from what I wrote, THAT'S OKAY!! Mine is simply a suggestion. Also: if you want to use CC or mods, have at it. This challenge very much lends itself to be especially fun to play if you're willing to get some mods or CC that will help you immerse yourself into the time period."
Enjoy!!
