The Castle Estate kit inspired me to make a legacy challenge for The Sims 4 (also helps that I LOVE medieval history). There are 10 generations, each representing a "class" within medieval society.
Also some of the icons are low quality as I couldn't find better ones.
I hope the colours aren't too obnoxious and the cards are easy enough to read!
Gen 1: Peasant
You’re a nobody, starting out at the bottom of the hierarchy. Therefore, you work hard, utilising your skills to scrape by.
