    Hi! @MysticLegacy I have a couple toddler questions:
    1. Does toddler potty training count for knowledge points? It maxes at 3, not 5 like the other toddler skills.
    2. If I make toddlers in manage world (for other households) and they grow up with traits I don't know; can they become mate for my kids when they grow up, or can they only be friends?

    No set rules in mind but wouldn't it be awesome to have a Spellcaster Legacy family? Just throwing that idea out to the universe.

    @EuphorialQueen I think a Spellcaster Legacy family would be super awesome. I might give that a try at some point. ^^

    I have a new variation.

    Legacies:House Poor

    Legacy: House Poor
    • Set up
    o Create a single Sim to your own choice, no restriction on the sim
    o Move you Sim into the Largest Lot in New Castle
    o Using Motherlode cheat design your inherited house, you must use the best furnishings and have room for growth. After you have designed your house use the money cheat to set your funds to zero. You will not be able to add anything else (beyond the mentioned exceptions) after you start.
    • Start
    o You have just inerhited a house from your great grandmother on the following conditions.
     Your line must live in that house for 10 or more generations
     Spouses may move in but must be moved out if space needs to be made
     Direct decendants may not move out.
     Immoratality by whatever flavor you care to use is acceptable but remember space is an issue
     You cannot sell, buy or in anyway add to the lot after you have accepted the house.
    • The only exception is to buy books, career rooms, or seed packets.
    • You may add career rewards but you cannot buy more of any one reward.
    • You cannot replace anything that is reposessed (if applicable)
     Your line may only have on career per person and if they reach the top of that career they must buy the Career room. If they fail to reach the top of the career the next available family member must join that career.
     After ten generations the lot is your own to do with what you wish.
    • End
    o The challenge ends after 10 generations
    o Points
     5 points for every career room added to the lot
     1 Point for every lifetime wish completed.

    Crime family legacy

    Start of with a family set. Two sims.

    Brothers,sisters or brother and sister.
    All legacy sims must be kleptomaniac
    All legacy sims must have the criminal or secret agent (villain) careers. Unless otherwise stated

    Anyone married in to the family must have
    One of the following traits

    Mean
    Materialistic
    Evil
    Erratic
    Kleptomaniac
    Self absorbed
    Snob

    All children must inherit the Kleptomaniac trait along with one trait from the other spouse.

    Children must grow up to have one negative trait from growing up.

    Only one of the two original sims is allowed to marry. The other one may have children but no Gf/BFs.

    How heirs work:
    There must be two heirs.
    Again brothers, sisters, cousins or a brother and sister.

    They must take over the family buisness.
    And follow the same rules as the original sims.

    Original sims and heirs must complete the mischief aspiration.

    Long time viewer, first time poster. Hi :) Mostly post on r/thesims

    Spent all of the Thanksgiving holiday on my first Legacy. There were a lot of rules so I've just never gotten around to it. Anyway, having a blast.

    I'm a little confused on the rules of this thread and how it relates to the rules of the forum. I just want to find somewhere to chat with people about current gameplay - is this the place? (So much "drama" and no one around who might care) Don't feel like my legacy is so unique it requires it's own thread, but maybe that's how we roll here? I'm a little confused on how old a thread has to be to be considered reviving an old thread (and if I should just start new)

    Also, I'm on Gen 3 and have only had girls. Like, I wasnt setting out to do gender specific heirs, but at this stage, haven't had a choice. I haven't been "influencing the pregnancy" with any of the things in game, it's just happened that way. I wonder if it's a glitch or if it's just the weird roll of the dice. Anyone ever have something like this?

    Hey :)

    I have a question refering the rules of moving sims out of the active household.

    I'm currently playing the second generation and the spouse has the aspiration Big, Happy Family. I thought it's the perfect moment to try having 10 babies in one generation as it would bring another point for scoring. The two oldest kids of generation 3 aged up to Teens today.

    Is it allowed to move out the teens so there's space for new babies again? Or do they have to be young adults by the time they move out?

    The household is currently full with 8 sims: 2 parents and 6 kids (2 teens, 2 kids, 1 toddler, 1 baby)
  • EuphorialQueenEuphorialQueen Posts: 6,224 Member
    @Queenarella Now that teen can live on their own I don't see why not. The intended heir would of course have to stay on the legacy lot. Once heirs are moved out they cannot be moved back.
  • QueenarellaQueenarella Posts: 3,379 Member
    @EuphorialQueen Thank you for your answer! :) The teen move out thing is the reason why this came up for me. They could live on their own and I had more space again :sweat_smile:

    Maybe I'll wait for them to have As in school and then move them out.

    For the heir I picked the democratic version. The polls are held here on the forum. For generation 3 I will only pick like 5 or 6 of the 10 kids tho :sweat_smile:

    Is micro home from tiny living stuff pack is too powerful for the challenge?
  • Lady_LuSsh01Lady_LuSsh01 Posts: 328 Member
    hi guys if i have a challenge idea do i just post it here, im not to sure
  • simmietwins22simmietwins22 Posts: 24 Member
    Hello everyone, just wanted to let you all know that I have started a Legacy Challenge: The ISBI Challenge! I'm playing with the rules that your founder and Torchholders must have the erratic trait, so i'm interested in seeing where this legacy goes. Check it out on YouTube:
  • cornflake88cornflake88 Posts: 368 Member
    I decided to start a new legacy trying out the tiny living micro home to keep bills low at the start. Skill gains and relationships were really fast. First child came along so we upgraded to a tiny home. The toddler had maxed out all skills with 7 days left to age up. As a child he had completed all four aspirations and the scouts with 3 maxed out character values with 7 days left to age up. The parents had maxed out all their work related skills and several more besides. For me this took all the challenge out of the challenge!
    I missed the struggle at the beginning and the sense of achievement finally getting that promotion or an A in school.
    Tiny living bonuses definitely made the game too easy and I lost the excitement for playing. So I've gone back to struggling :D

    @cornflake Using all the speedboost, the child basically have no more skills to level up, even the adult one. The Sims 4 is such a perfectly balanced game with no exploit.
    I also write non sims stuff on Wattpad

    I keep trying this challenge over and over but for some weird reason just find it so confusing. I suck at legacy families in general. I get bored too fast and it just plateaus for some reason. I have all the packs and everything so you'd think I'd be able to do it but I just fail. Any suggestions?

    It is not a sprint... but rather a marathon.
    This saying can apply to many things including a legacy challenge.
    There is no reason to see how fast you can get to the tenth generation and complete the challenge.
    • Break it down into several smaller milestones.
    • Settle in with the founder {generation one} to get your "story" set up in your head. It may sound like a good idea for that first generation to have a family or wealth based aspiration. But is the time it takes really suited for them?
    • Set goals for different family units or generations.
    • Be flexible in how you play. Example: You decided to have a certain generation complete a nature aspiration but find they are more suited to become an artist. Just change the plan and move forward.
    • Play the game in a way that makes you happy.
    • Take a break and play another save or another game altogether.
    • Just have fun! You will get it done and be proud of your accomplishment.
    When I mentioned "your story" it does not have to be something written. Personally I find it fun to decide how my Sims would act and keep to that personality. They can be kind and friendly which means it would be against their nature to become a top level criminal. Things like that.
    Hopefully you can become inspired by some of these ideas.
