Pinstar here just checking in to see how everyone is enjoying the new game. Yes I may have dropped off the face of the simearth but I'm back.
I just wanted to announce that I am going to be making a Legacy Challenge for TS3. in fact it is currently in the writing and play testing phases at the moment.
I should have the rules posted within the next week or two.
As to what it will contain, I'm going to keep most of it a secret. If you are familiar with my Legacy Challenge for TS2 you'll be familiar with the theme and feel of the challenge, but there are some distinctly new aspects added to it (and quite a few bulky, annoying and cumbersome aspects stripped away too).
A hint for one of the new optional rules:

I did enjoy the Legacy Challenge in TS2
... You don't know me.
I never really completed a legacy in The Sims 2.. because I fail. lol
But I definitely want to learn about the new rules, and see how The Sims 3 will work out. I was trying to start one up today, but for some reason my uploader..
will not upload my pictures.
Well, I can't wait to see your official board for The Sims 3 Legacy Challenge!
Thanks for sharing with us.
One of the first rules for the challenge in TS2 was you had to start with a single sim and meet a townie and build a relationship and get married and start a family. Then do that again for a total of 10 generations. You also couldn't use cheats and had to start on an empty lot. I hope my Prima Guide arrives before the rules for LegacyTS3 do or I may not even know HOW to move a sim into a required lot and start it
I've been thinking about just creating one, not sure if another was coming out...
BUT NOW IM THRILLED!!
It will take a bit longer, I find it takes longer to play than the sims2, but that's okay. =]
>>The Eastman's: Sun/Wed/Thurs>>Days Of Golden: Mon>>Catching Up With The Clarkes: Tues/Fri
I can't wait until you're finished. I would love to know the offical rule for my simmies legacies.
Cannot wait...
I kind of already started a legacy... ish. I never used the money cheat, or any cheat. I didn't start on an empty lot because I didn't know how, but I moved them to an empty lot. My sims are married with a kid and another on the way.
I'm looking forward to seeing the new rules and if I can finally finish it.
So how do you win, or what is the objective of the competition? Is it to see who can get the most net worth in 10 generations or something?
Part of the challenge is to hit generation 10 in the first place. If the line is broken, the challenge fails.
But the Sims 2 Legacy had all sorts of semi arbitrary rules along the way. Like "Collect one of each ghost", "Roll a die to choose aspiration", "Collect one of each supernatural", "Buy but don't use as many Exlir of Life as you can, get 1 point per 25" and so on. Considering that Sims 3 is almost made for legacy style play, this could get interesting pretty fast. For each bonus objective you complete, you get a number of points. At the end of the challenge, tally up your points.
Oh dear... I have a horrible idea for an optional rule. "Epic Legacy". 10 generations, on Epic aging scale.
