I first heard about the Not-So-Berry challenge when my daughter asked me what it was (she was watching some Sims YouTube videos at the time) and I looked into it and decided to give it a go.
I was sharing all of my gameplay pics onto Tumblr, and now I'm backing everything up here with a little bit of commentary too.

This is Floss Strawb, our not-berry founder for this challenge.
Floss as in "flossing your teeth"
and Strawb because strawberries, contrary to popular belief, aren't actually berries.
Seems appropriate for a not-so-berry challenge.
He's already making friends! That's a good start.
... I take it back.
How did that even happen?
Floss: :(
So now you're taking it out on other sims?
Well at least it will help get your mischief up...
How did he get in?!
Floss you're supposed to be a scientist, work on your home security.
Is he trolling her?
Judging by his naughty face: yes.
Floss: cool helmet! where can I get one?
This is Seema Trivedi.
Floss is probably telling her some outrageous and untrue story.
She doesn't mind his outrageous stories and pranks.
:)
My sims love working out on their dates... what's with that?
Floss came into work and no one seems at all bothered by the fact that someone died...
He's having a bowling birthday party and he's miserable and smelly.
Floss: can I go home now?
Oh no you don't! You're having a fun birthday!
You're gonna eat cake and go bowling and you're going to be happy about it!
Floss: fine.
He showered and still cranky.
And he had to make his own birthday cake...
Fashion, baby.
Lets start adulthood with some much-needed affection.
Where's Seema?
Floss: She's gone and I had to eat
Floss: life sucks :(
Aw don't look at me like that, I'm trying my best!
Left-over vampire residue...
That's a lot of drinks.
Floss: you're an amazing drink-maker, will you marry me?
Of course she will! <3
And so Seema moved in.
Traits: Bookworm, Neat, Dance Machine
Aspiration: Master Mixologist
D'aw, our mischief maker is so in love.
What's with the evil laugh?!
Generation Rose is on the way!
Mixed feelings about becoming a daddy...
Floss, you know that's a vital part of your legacy, right?
Floss: it's still a shock
Floss: but I'm sure being a dad will be fun!
You're going to prank the poor kid on a regular basis, aren't you?
Seema wants to look pretty :)
Beautiful, darling!
Floss: these are MINE.
Working hard...
Feels good to get home to the wife.
Floss built a cloning machine!
I've never done that before so it was exciting form me.
Obligatory daddy-freak-out.
Should we be worried?
Floss: THE WATER IS A HAZARD TO MY BABY!!
Floss: WHAT IF THE STONES FALL FROM THE WALL ONTO MY BABY?!
Floss: The world is a hazard but I will protect you, baby.
Floss had a baby girl named Peony.
Peony: oh god, this is my dad?!
Peony: I don't want to go with this man!
I don't blame Peony for feeling that way.
Floss should write a book on making friends.
Peony aged up!
Bedtime story with daddy mint.
Seema is a dance machine and teaching Peony some moves!
A pink angel.
This would be cute if it wasn't for his face...
What are you thinking, Floss?
Floss: I'm thinking this kid better not expect me to share my cookie because that's not gonna happen
Peony's not impressed with dad and tells mum all about it.
They love each other really!
... why do they still have that crib?
