Hi everyone, Pinstar and I are in the process of selling our house and have been extremely busy with that and moving to a new state and what not.
We have not had a chance to even purchase Growing Together yet, let alone play it. With that in mind, we also haven’t been able to playtest it for rule adjustments. We will try and get this all updated as soon as we can, but with all of the showings happening at our house, there will be delays.
Thank you for your patience!
On Monday, March 6, Paradox Interactive announced a new game called Life By You. It appears that it will be a simulation game and a competitor to The Sims franchise.
Paradox Interactive is responsible for incredible games like Cities: Skylines (a successful competitor to Sim City), Crusader Kings (Sims meets RPG set in medieval times), and may other games. Not only that, but Rod Humble (a creator of Sims 2 and Sims 3) is also on the team working on this new game.
With this sort of gaming pedigree, Pinstar and I are extremely optimistic that this will be a viable competitor for a franchise that has had a monopoly on this particular type of life Sim genre for decades.
Also, for those of you wondering, yes, if we are able to make a Legacy Challenge (along with any other of our challenges) for this game, we will be.
Paradox will be releasing more info on March 20th, so stay tuned!
Have you ever wanted to combine the Movin’ On Up Challenge with the Legacy Challenge? Well now you can with this new combo challenge, The Movin’ On Up Legacy Challenge! Good luck and let us know how you do!
Mystic will be starting a Let’s Play series of this challenge on her Youtube channel soon, so keep an eye out!
If you follow me on Youtube, you know I had a video series going for my Sims 2 Legacy family. I took a break when real life got in the way, but they are back now with a new video! The generation 3 kids are currently in college.
This is a question that Pinstar and I get asked a lot and I thought I would make a guide listing all of the current expansion packs from worst to best for the Legacy Challenge. You can check it out here.
I am hoping to also turn this into a video, but I am not sure when that will be posted yet. Hopefully by the end of the week!
I would also love to hear how you would rank the expansions, so let me know in the comments!
We have a new guide up for you all today. For those of you that are unsure which Legacy Challenge Succession Laws to choose for your Legacy, this guide ranks them in order of difficulty and complexity. Hopefully this helps make your choices easier!
Hello everyone! With the announcement of The Sims 4 going free to play on October 18, I wanted to start working on some Legacy Challenge related guides to post on the website. I have a list of guides that I want to post, but I would love your input on whether I should add others!
Here is what I have so far:
Let me know what you think in the comments below!
I have made a change to how the Random Trait Generators and the Legacy Challenge Rules work for the Sims 4. Since Teens can now roll for Aspirations that also include teen-specific aspirations along with the original aspirations from previous packs, it made sense to change the wording on when to roll for aspirations.
When a child becomes a teenager, roll for the teenager aspiration (ignore what the adult aspiration says for the moment) and go with whatever is assigned. If your teenager is able to complete their aspiration before adulthood, then you can either choose to go with a randomly generated adult aspiration from the generator next (to add some more randomness to your challenge) or do what has been done in the past and choose the next one. It’s up to you!
The rules have also been reworded to reflect this.
I am super hecking late in posting about this as the video released when I was dealing with some incredibly stressful real-life stuff, but I wanted to let you all know (in case you missed it) that Pinstar and I were featured on PC Gamer’s series “Tales From The Hard Drive” where we discussed the Legacy Challenge for the Sims and how it played an important role in our meeting and eventually getting married.
If you want to watch it, check it out!
It’s been ages since I’ve focused on the Sims 2 Legacy Challenge and since I have been gravitating more towards Sims 2 than Sims 4 lately I thought it would be fun to make a guide on how I personally start a Sims 2 Legacy Challenge with the extreme handicap! You will need expansion packs for this version of the challenge.
