Heyyo!! So after looking for some Sims 3 legacies to do and not really finding any in-depth ones that interested me, i figured to just make my own!!! Theres not really an overarching theme or anything, so that why its just called the computerglitch8 challenge since, ykno, thats me!
some extra stuff first though:
cheats are okay! (heck some of the things in the challenge p much require you to use testing cheats.) I think itd be more challenging/fun to not use money cheats but honestly you can do whatever you want.
important!!!!: i am playing through this challenge myself to make sure everything i wrote down is doable and challenging, while also not being impossible. I will make little tweaks to the rules over the course of my playthrough!!
also important!!! These first ten generations can be done with only the base game! (though obviously you can use expansions to spice it up) but i will be adding extra gens that focus on expansions! (im already working on the next few gens, which are supernatural focused
) so watch out for those additions!
with that out of the way! heres the challenge!!:
