Pinstar’s Top 10 Tips for the Legacy Challenge’s 1st generation

The Legacy Challenge is meant to start you off in a much more difficult position than a ‘normal’ game’s start might dictate. And with the rule change to where new spouses no longer bring in any money, the early game is about to become more difficult.

To help get your familes off to a strong start, here are my top 10 tips for getting started with your Legacy Challenge.

Random Trait Generator update!

The Sims 4 Legacy Challenge Random Trait Generator has been updated today. The updates are as follows:

The traits of the two parents are no longer locked with child/teen/adult trait levels, meaning that you can now freely populate traits in all three slots. For some of you who had founders with no child-friendly traits, you should now be able to correctly plug your founder into the calculator.

Next update: Adding a “Generate only one life stage” mode to the calculator, letting you only generate a child trait/aspiration, a teen trait/ adult aspiration or the third adult trait one at a time so you don’t spoil what all the traits are going to be when you do your initial generation, or worry about forgetting with the later traits were.

A larger potential change to the spouse rules – we need your feedback!

 

 

Having unearthed some more information about how the family management tool works, detailed in this video. I made a small change to the rules that won’t negatively impact anyone’s Legacy Challenge. However, a more drastic change possibility has presented itself, but I’d like to see what everyone thinks before I make any bigger rule changes. Continue reading →

The Sims 4 Creator’s Camp: Strategy & Tactics

For those of you with a ‘play to win’ approach to playing the Sims or for those of you looking to get a little jump start on your families and like to see your families doing well, I present to you a quick Strategy & Tactics article based on my experiences in Creator’s Camp. This is by no means a comprehensive guide. In fact, you’ll notice most of these are “Learn from my fail” style tips. While I am a veteran of the Sims franchise back to the original, I still had a lot to learn when I picked up the Sims 4.

Two children, but who will be the heir of the 2nd generation?

In a previous post, I made a poll asking the community to weigh in on how I should handle the question of ‘who becomes heir’. With a little bit of variation, the results have become crystal clear and pretty much maintained these ratios since day 2 of the poll.

With over a thousand responses, here is how the results were distributed.

Sims 4 Creators Camp: Paintings, Decorations, and Mood Auras

Of the six motive bars present in the Sims 4 (hunger, bladder, energy, fun, hygiene, and social) environment is absent. This is nothing new, as the environment bar was absent in the Sims 3 as well. In the Sims 3, the environment bar was replaced with moodlets. If your Sim was in an area with lots of decorations, they’d get a positive moodlet, and if they were in a pig sty with lots of dirty objects, they’d get a negative moodlet. The Sims 4 incorporates environment-as-moodlets in a similar manner, but gives the whole system some major enhancements along the way.

The Fantasia Legacy Reborn

Hey everyone! Long time, no post! I’ve been busy working behind the scenes helping Pinstar get all of his Creators Camp posts up. However, I just wanted to post something quick regarding the Fantasia Legacy. I have decided to discontinue writing about the family from the Sims 3. However! I decided to bring them back… in the Sims 4!

I have been trying to decide on a Legacy Challenge founder in The Sims 4 for a while now, but couldn’t come up with a concept that I loved. Then it hit me. Do a remake of the Fantasia Legacy with a founder based on my all time favorite Fantasia family member…
