Hey everyone!
Welcome to the MySims Legacy Challenge! Each generation is based on a MySims Trophy that can be found through collecting! The MySims franchise consists of a bunch of games like MySims Wii, MySims Kingdom, MySims Party, etc. This legacy challenge is
LONG but don't let that overwhelm you! I have not even finished the challenge myself! I'm the kind of player that needs to have a challenge or a goal when playing the sims, and if you relate this is the challenge for you! It's a lot of collecting, learning different skills, completing aspirations, and getting to the top of your career, and each generation is different. Looking at all the different generations some may not interest you, and I understand that not everyone has money to buy all the packs, and that's 100% okay! These rules are a guideline, you don't have to follow them 100% pick which generations you want to play, change them if you need too, that's alright! If there is a generation that you don’t have the pack for that career or aspiration or you just don’t feel like doing that one it's okay! Simply just skip over that one or replace it with an optional generation!
This challenge has been in the making since 2018, and I'm constantly updating it and changing it with the help of everyone, so thank you to everyone that has provided ideas and feedback, and expressed interest in this challenge it really means a lot to me! I really hope you enjoy this challenge. I have worked so hard on it, please let me know if you have any feedback/ideas/etc, my twitter is
@alexiskfrancis and I would love to see your stories!
**UPDATE**
Hi all! It's 2023 and I've been able to update this challenge (I STILL am unhappy with some of the current generations so im still working on it
) with tons of you suggestions! I hope you enjoy the changes as this challenge is still a work in progess as new packs are added with new skills, careers, and aspirations! I appreciate all your suggestions and I love reading about your gameplay! Happy Simming!
And as a tip, when I play legacy challenges I often get bored when I have too much money, so if you desire you can move out each generation and start from nothing all over again!
Important things to note:
- You do not have to do every single generation, this can be a pick and choose if you want to, play the ones that are interesting to you!
- If you do not have the pack that corresponds to a certain generation thats ok! I understand people don't buy every pack, you can either skip that generation, change it out with an optional/extra generation, or change the rules/requirements, anything is fine
- There are extra and optional generations at the bottom of the initial list
Generic Rules:
- You must complete the MySims Trophies (Collectibles) Collection by the end of the challenge/legacy
- Money cheats can be used, but don't go overboard
- You can follow any legacy succession rules you want here is the link: https://www.simslegacychallenge.com/sims-4-legacy-challenge-rules-succession-laws/
- Lifespan on normal or long, you can decide (I would recommend long because some of these generations are difficult)
- You can use the Potion of Youth once per generation
- If you fail to complete the rules for that generation you do not have to start over, you can just leave it up to the next generation to complete

I don't for see to many bumps. You made it pretty straight forward and I predict lots of fun and challenges for me. I need to find all the secret experimental foods though and make a restaurant that he can visit to try them.
Year Long Community Challenge
That's really neat! I actually just finished the experimental foods collection, It took me a while because restaurants are kinda slow. I sized all the pictures down to fit on my wall. Im so close to finishing generation one, I just need to level up my baking skill to 10, im at 7 right now.
