Hello everyone 
So, I randomly came up with an idea last night. It's called a Lifetime Wish Legacy Challenge. How does this work, you ask? Well, let me explain.
It's essentially your average Legacy Challenge (minus the points and the strict rules--no offense to Pinstar), except each generation's heir/heiress must fulfill a unique Lifetime Wish.
IF you have all expansion packs installed (base game, World Adventures, Ambitions, Generations, Late Night, Pets & Showtime), this includes 64 unique Lifetime Wishes. Yes, that means 64 generations in total. If you are not up for this hefty challenge, turn back now! :twisted:
If you're still with me, then read on!
Now, I realize that not everyone has every single expansion pack like I do. Therefore, I'll make things easier for you like so:
-The Base Game comes with 32 Lifetime Wishes
-World Adventures comes with 8 additional Lifetime Wishes
-Ambitions comes with 8 additional Lifetime Wishes
-Generations comes with 0 additional Lifetime Wishes
-Late Night comes with 6 additional Lifetime Wishes
-Pets comes with 7 additional Lifetime Wishes
-Showtime comes with 3 additional Lifetime Wishes
I think you can do the math from here according to which expansions (if any) you have installed.
To view a full list of all 64 Lifetime Wishes and which expansion packs they are from, see the 'Intricacies' post below.
Well, those are the basics! Obviously this challenge will be a lot more fun if you decide to document/write a story to go with it. I've started my own documentation thread and will be posting the link below in the post entitled 'Links'.
Read on below for more details about each unique Lifetime Wish, specific rules, and links to players' stories associated with this challenge. As always, feel free to leave feedback and give me suggestions to improve this challenge. And also, if I have copied someone else's idea, please let me know. I have not seen a challenge like mine anywhere else on the forums, but then again, I did not scour ever inch of them. So please alert me if my challenge seems too similar to someone else's.
Have fun, and Happy Simming!

To better keep track of all of the Lifetime Wishes and which ones you have completed already, I have created a simple Excel spreadsheet, which can be downloaded here. Questions concerning the spreadsheet and how to use it may be asked on this thread.
Here are the rules with which to make the challenge more random and fun.
1. At the start of each generation, you must roll which Lifetime Wish will be fulfilled by the heir/heiress.
2. At the start of each generation, you must roll for the number of children that will be conceived by the heir/heiress of the next generation. Unless of course, the Lifetime Wish of the current generation is 'Surrounded by Family'--then you obviously must have five or more children.
3. At the start of each generation, you must roll to determine which child will become the heir/heiress.
4. As soon as the determined heir/heiress reaches Young Adulthood, he or she MUST have the traits listed in the above post which correspond with his or her given Lifetime Wish. This is to ensure that their chosen Lifetime Wish will be available for them to pick.
Those are the four main rules. Now, I won't be offended if you don't follow them to a 'T'; for example, you may choose your generation's Lifetime Wish, number of children, heir or heiress if you want. I made those rules for those of you who like an added challenge and wish to be a little bit more random with their legacy. Just as long as you don't repeat Lifetime Wishes over the generations, I don't care what you do.
Some other tips/guidelines:
-Mods ARE allowed. I know I will be using them
-I would prefer if you didn't cheat too much, unless it is to fix a glitch or whatnot. However, it is your game; you can play it how you want to.
-You can play on any lot/in any house. Houses can be pre-made or player-made
-Spouses can be pre-made or player-made or downloaded from the exchange/other CC sites
-Adoption is allowed
That's about it. Any questions regarding clarification of the rules may be posted in this thread. Also, here is a link to a random number generator to help with picking your Lifetime Wishes and such if you so choose to follow the four rules listed above and go the random route.
Here are links to the stories of simmers participating in this challenge, starting with my own:
1. slynnski's Burch Family Legacy
To add your link to the list, simply post it in this thread.
Hahaha I know, it's going to be insanely long. But I'm excited. :P
Feel free to modify the rules however you want to make the challenge more fun for you, I won't mind. :XD:
Thanks for posting feedback! It's much appreciated.
Go for it! I think it would be neat to combine this with the fairytale one. If you decided to make a story, be sure to post me the link; I would love to read it!
Here's what I've rolled so far:
My founder (Otella) has to fulfill the LTW of being Super Popular. She will have 5 children, and her heir/ess will be the third born child, who will one day grow up to be an International Super Spy.
There we go!!
Aww, this is too sweet of you. You didn't have to do this just to please me. :P
Sounds like you are off to a good start, though. Feel free to post pics to this thread whenever you want--I'd love to see them.
I'll go check out your current legacy asap. I love reading legacy stories.
Hahahaha awww. What you need to do is select the sim you want and via the SP mod don't allow him to have any romance. That's what I do. :P
Yay! If you make a story to go with it, please post your link here! Have fun. :-)
Sweeeeeet. 8)
Husbands are a pain in the behind anyhow.
Woot, I like your enthusiasm!
If you end up creating a story to go with your challenge, post a link here. I'd love to read it! :-)
But maybe someday.
It's okay!! I started reading your Rainbowcy last night--it's amazing! It almost made me cry. I hope Estella and Gideon see each other again someday.
Aww you just made my day.
I'mma go read your legacy now myself. ^^
Thanks! It's not as good as yours, though. :oops:
