general rules

  • CAREERS & ASPIRATIONS: Not everyone in life succeeds to the fullest. Play the career and aspiration, but remember that not everyone in life gets to the top. Some people fall short, others luck out. Your story may even have nepotism. Lean into it!

​

  • ASPIRATION REWARDS: You may freely purchase traits and potions using aspiration points.
     

  • LIFESPAN: Any lifespan setting is allowed, though Normal is recommended. ​

​

  • CHILDREN: The number of children is determined by the rules for each generation.
     

  • LIVING ARRANGEMENTS: Your Sim may live anywhere that makes sense for your story.
     

  • STARTING MONEY: Start Bubblegum with the game’s default money (or less if it fits your story). Avoid excessive money cheats, but use them creatively when needed for storytelling.
          💡TIP: If you’re playing a Founder generation, see the inheritance rules below.

​

  • GENERATIONAL COLORS: It doesn't necessarily have to be plastered everywhere.
    ​

  • WHIMS: Pay attention to your Sim’s whims above their portrait and use them to guide their story.
     

  • LIKES/DISLIKES AND ATTRACTION: Choose Attraction, Likes/Dislikes based on each generation to fit your story.
    ​​

  • USE DICE TO MAKE DECISONS: See dice rules below.
     

  • BONUS GOALS: Feel free to make bonus goals for yourself based on your story.

dice rules

The goal of dice rolls is to add drama, unpredictability, and help make gameplay decisions

  • CHOOSE YOUR DICE METHOD: Use Google’s Dice Roller, real dice, or a single coin. I personally use three 6-sided dice for added suspense, but any method works. Throughout the rules, “roll the dice” can mean any of these methods.

​

  • LET THE DICE DECIDE: If you aren't sure what your Sim would do, use rolls to determine your Sim’s decision when choices are possible.

    • For example, three dice:

      • 2 of 3 are even numbers = outcome A

      • 2 of 3 of odd numbers = outcome B​

​

  • IN-GAME PROMPTS: If you wish, you can roll for pop-ups involving parenting, trait discoveries, or any countless number of events. If your Sim would definitely accept or reject an option based on their personality, you can decide without rolling.

​

  • UNEXPECTED DRAMA: Apply the same logic to situations, like when a Sim who is in a relationship asks your Sim on a date, an affair being discovered, or a friend showing up with gossip. If your Sim would never cheat, don't! If they might be tempted, roll. When drama arises, think if you want to roll to determine whether Sims confront, warn, stay quiet, etc.

​

  • DANGEROUS EVENTS: For fires, freezing, drowning, meteors, and similar emergencies, roll to see whether you, the player, can intervene.

    • 2 of 3 even (or heads) = you may help

    • 2 of 3 odd (or tails) = you must let events play out​​​​​

heirs, inheritance + moving

  • HEIR: Choose whichever child best fits the next generation’s story. They can be any gender or orientation. You don’t have to choose the firstborn. Age children up on their birthdays or whenever it makes sense for your story. If the next heir isn’t ready to move out, play through their childhood! You can just shift gameplay to focus on them while they continue living with their parents and work on collections, tasks, and other goals.

​

  • INHERITANCE: Base inheritance on the heir’s relationship with their parents/grandparents. Healthy relationships might mean more money, while toxic relationships or financial hardship could mean little or nothing. You can choose a percentage of household funds or roll for a random amount.​

​​

  • MOVING: Sims don’t have to move out when starting a new generation. Keep the family together if it makes sense for your story.​​​

​

  • GIFTS: Consider whether parents or grandparents would give gifts for milestones like graduating, having a baby, or buying a first home. Gifts can be Simoleons or items, such as a new stove. When unsure, roll the dice and get creative!​
         💡 IDEA: Your Sim is getting kicked out of their parent’s house. Would one of the parents slip them a little money or would they leave with nothing? Roll dice or use a random number generator to see how much! Get creative​​​​
