Okay everyone, I know I don't run this thread, but ybboccobby04 (who does) is busy with life (good for you for working hard and making your own adventure ) and something needs to be said.
This is NOT a place to advertise your story, challenge or blog. This is a list of individual types of challenge and legacy. If you have created a challenge such as the Apocalypse Challenge, or a type of legacy such as the Uglacy, then this is where you post a link so it can be added to the list. If, however, you have started an individual legacy or challenge based on rules which you did not create, this is not the place to post it!
Thank you so much! It is more convinient to have them all in one list rather than having to search for them yourself (that's how lazy I am...)
I can't believe how many challenges and things there are to do! People must've spent hours thinking of them all...
I'll have to start right away lol.
THANKS AGAIN!
I made my own legacy challenge, it basically involves building a mansion with heaps of rooms and then your sims will live in ONE ROOM of the house and as the generations go on the rooms get unlocked. So when your sim first moves in all the furniture they own will be in one room, or even outside the house. When you get a mate you can then unlock a room and move some furniture into it
When the first child is born you must unlock a room, this will be the nursery. Rooms then all stay locked until you reach 10,000 simoleons or the first child finds a mate. When the child has a mate you will then unlock rooms etc and this keeps going until you have 10 Generations and all the rooms are unlocked!
Wow, I can't even count how many times I've used your thread to help with ideas for new families, and for that I thank you for compiling all these challenges.
It had 59k hits on 2009, I did not write it. The only rule I would change is that if you eat anything out of your own refrigerator instead of mooching food, it must be something that is not free. In other words, you have to cook it/no quick meals.

Thanks for the post Fran, I do feel people just post their personal links here without realizing what the thread is really for.
No University Challenge? Hmm, maybe I'll write one if I ever get a minute to spare. Unless anyone wants to beat me to it of course?
I was thinking of making something like that but my computer was taken from me for a week (i got grounded) and I just can't type out an entire challenge on my Android cellphone. The iPad isn't that bad and I've used my Wii to write up a challenge before. Never remind me to do that ever again.
Hi, Here is a new challenge idea that I came up with the other night for anyone who wants to try it.
New Challenge Idea
The Realistic Genealogy Challenge
Description: In real life most people's ancestors have different last names. Example: Traditionally daughters take on the last names of their husbands while sons keep the family name going. In this challenge, I thought it would be interesting to see what your Sim family's last name is at the end of 10 generations or how ever long you choose to play.
Goal: Play at least 10 generation starting with one founder and see what the family's last name is at the end of the last generation of play.
Some Rules or Guidelines for extra challenge
1. Start with one founder: For fun I thought instead of creating the founder look in the studios of Simming friends for single Sims with the least amount of downloads and choose one to begin your story with. (Remember to let your friend know you're using their Sim and make sure they get updates on their Sims' progress)
2. As for using cheats: Only use if:
A. needed to help your Sim avoid life threatening situations like if your Sim is almost starving to death and is not near a food source like at work, then you can increase that mood meter enough to hold him/her over until they can eat something.
B. To help your Sim get out of minor game glitches that pop up from time to time. like the 'resetSim' if your Sim seems to be stuck in one spot or has the 'bowl' stuck on his/her wrist.
3. First home: May purchase or build home staying within the Sim's starting cash flow. Only purchase upgrades to home when affordable.
4. Give your Sim as much free reign to do what they want on their own.
Examples: A. Put them in career they wish for at the beginning of game play. If they don't come up with a career wish at first help them achieve desired skills which may lead to a career choice.
B. Buy upgrades to their home according to their wishes.
C. Decorate the home with your Sims' favorite colors in mind.
D. Even let your Sim pick out their outfits in 'plan outfit' by going through the top and bottom clothing until you get a favorable response from them. (i.e If you click on 'everyday clothing' tab and your Sim says something like 'so-so' or 'baghdad' that usually means they don't like what they're wearing or if they respond with the expressions 'oh' or 'un-huh' it usually means they like it) How you dress them though is up to you.
5. Finding their soulmate or spouse
-- Similar to above look for people that your Sim makes friends with through there jobs or other means like sharing drinks with a local after dinner.
-- Wait for that relationship to develop to a point where your Sim wishes to date the person or that person asks your Sim to move in with them. If the later occurs then you can help them take the relationship to the final stage of marriage.
-- For those who end up in same gender relationships maybe flip a coin or use some other metric to determine which last name they will take on.
6. Family size: Try to go according to your Sims' wishes as to when they want to have children or if you want to decide roll a dice.
7. For legacy to work there will need to be a combination of son/daughter heirs throughout the generations. You can put the heir to a vote, ask your friend whom you got your Sim from to choose or roll a dice to see which child is chosen for variety.
8. Marrying: Female heirs must take the last name of their husbands while male heirs keep the last name they were born with.
Exception: If your heir ends up in a same gender relationship use some random means to choose the last name.
9. Have fun while let your story play itself out and writing about what has happened in each game sessions. Since there will always be glitches of some sort with Sims make up things to cover them up. Move your family to a new town if necessary, save to your bin or clipboard, and have a back-up heir just in case.
Hope you have fun and that this challenge doesn't take anything away from other challenges that have been created by other Simmers.
