Got color?

What’s this all about then
The Rainbow Challenge is a legacy challenge aimed at those who do not like following the general legacy rules. No restrictions on aspiration, money or even a point system here. It’s all about just getting creative and having fun. That said, there are a few rules…

The Rules
1. Each generation must correspond to a specific colour on the colour wheel. We only used primary and secondary colours for this to keep it simple. The generation allocation is as follows:











2. You can choose how many generations you would like to attempt, there are 3 possibilities:
- 3 Generations (the primary colours: yellow, red & blue)
- 8 Generations (the primary and secondary colours)
- 10 Generations (bonus black and white rounds for those who don’t want to let go yet)

3. You can choose any shade of a particular color, from dark to screaming bright to pastel. As long as the colour is identifiable, it’s A-okay with us.

4. The allocated colour must be obvious in each generation, but how you implement that is completely up to you. Anything goes, showing the colour through hair, make up, wardrobe, home décor, etc. So long as we can tell what colour generation you are on immediately, it’s all good.

5. The family surname should be the word “rainbow” in your native language (or if English is your native language, you can use the mirrored version of “Wobniar”). Also allowed is anything synonymous with rainbows in your part of the world (something from a legend or story, maybe a word you made up as a kid, whatever floats your boat).

6. Offspring for each generation should be named something that corresponds to the allocated colour for that generation. For example, for gen 3 (red), you could name your children Scarlet, Crimson, Heat, Strawberry, Blood-Count, etc. Have fun with it, feel free to go as crazy as you like.

7. We take no responsibility for any retina scarring that may occur due to overexposure to colour.

8. You can rearrange the rainbow we posted, and start with red and end with yellow if you so please.

How it came to be
azzy and morcalivan needed a challenge. One that made them have to think of clever ways to use it, but did not impose too many “your sim must start in a house this size, with this much cash, and you can only use this item and that thingamabob”. We are rebels at heart and do not do well with being told what to do, so we figured we’d go with rules that promote creativity instead of rules that restrict how you play the game.

Anyone else who would like to try their hand at this is welcome to play along. The more the merrier! Leave a note if you are taking up the challenge and we’ll add you to the “who’s playing” list (on the user info site).

Why this community?
This is made because we were thrilled to see that many wanted to play along, and its really difficult to keep up with checking everyone's lj.
