    A Themeacy? A new challenge!

    You guys are probably wondering
    "What the heck is a Themeacy?" Well,

    I made up a new type of legacy challenge. Just a simple legacy kind of thing. Please tell me if it's the same as someone else's! It could also be an add-on to another type of legacy, like a Uglacy. Hope you guys like it!

    Well, a Themeacy is a legacy where every generation is based on some sort of "theme". You will decorate your house based on your "theme", name all children after part of that "theme", and even dress according to your "theme".

    Example:
    Say you have a "Western" theme. You will decorate your house with wooden planks, and the walls maybe a faint yellow color. You could name your children after things from the west. Like, maybe a child named "Saddle". I know, not the nicest name, but this is an example. You could dress in cowboy boots and a hat, too!

    Rules
    *You may only use the "motherlode" cheat once at the beginning of each generation, only to re-decorate your house based on theme. Then you must use the "familyFunds (family's last name) 1800" cheat (type without ()s) to set back to 1800 Simleons

    *No Other Cheats!

    *The rest of the rules are just like the Normal Legacy Challenge


    Ideas For Themes:
    Western Theme(As used up at the top)
    Children Theme(Don't know any names for this one...)
    Smart Theme
    Colorful Theme
    USA/Patriotic Theme
    Party! Theme
    Celebrity Theme
    (Any Color) Theme

    There are TONS more, just keep in mind, every generation has a different theme!

    Have fun and enjoy! Please give me feedback! Thanks!

      I think this is a really fun legacy challenge :)

      I find legacies to get rather boring after the second or third generation.

      This is a really nifty idea to help spice things up !

      I think that's a good idea! It could be easy to apply to a legacy:) Even if some already have other themes, such as berry, or rainbow, or whatever:)

      I think this is a cool ideal. I haven't played my sims in a while and was thinking of starting another Legacy. I'm getting bored with the other one.
      Actually, I was thinking of combining several legacy/challenges into one challenge and this would work too.

      I'll have to see which challenges to combine first. I know the Normal Legacy, and pair it up with the DITFT Challenge, and maybe also with the Challengacy. Plus, I was thinking of the Alphabet Challenge, or the 10 kid challenge. Maybe do this theme challenge, but each generation has to start with the Alphabet too, like 3rd generation is westren, so the heir should be named like Cactus, Cattle( heaven forbid ), or Chaps - those leather leggings worn by westren ranch hands.
      I'll have to see how that goes. I might try this. Sounds like fun.

      I think i can make a good story out of this, by the way, children themed names could be, Diaper, Bottle, and Papercrown. (hahaha)

      I am a big fan of this type of legacy! :thumbup: I am starting a blog following this type of legacy. It would mean a lot if you can read it. Didn't put any chapters up yet, but give me advice !
