The Sims 2 Legacy Challenge Question

slynnski

Hi all,

I have recently begun a legacy challenge using Pinstar's advanced rules, along with some handicaps.

One of the handicaps I have chosen for the challenge is no drinking elixir of life.

My legacy family recently brought Bigfoot home with them from their Three Lakes vacation. I know that Bigfoot cannot earn points because he is not part of the bloodline.

My question is, if he technically doesn't 'count' as part of the legacy challenge, do you think it would be allowable for him to drink the elixir? Since he's not technically part of the family bloodline, it shouldn't matter, right? I would like to keep him alive as long as I can throughout the challenge if at all possible.

Thoughts, opinions? Any input is appreciated!

Well.... I think it's fine and since you won't get any points from him, I like the idea.

He's great for stopping Burglars. XD

Thanks, @Rflong7 for your input

Oh I can't wait to see what he does when a burglar comes. I think he is just the dearest thing, especially when he goes off to work in his little vest, tie and hat.

Anyone else?

I agree with @Rflong7 - if he isn't worth any points there should be no reason not to keep him alive if you'd like. Plus it would probably make for a more enjoyable storyline !!

Oh it really does! He already topped his career so he's bringing in good money. He's tending a garden for the family as well. Except I had him gardening out in a thunderstorm and he got struck by lightening and almost died. Luckily I was able to get him to some food in time, even if it meant him peeing himself in the process. Poor guy!

This sounds adorable, and I've seen plenty of legacies with a sim judged to no longer be part of the rules made immortal, though sometimes not one that lives on the main lot. (Since Bigfoot can't breed, isn't an heir/member of the bloodline, can't earn points, and probably isn't singlehandedly lifting your sims out of poverty if they were able to go on vacation and befriend him, I wouldn't count this as cheating, personally.)

Good luck!!!
