The Europa Legacy – Chapter 1 – Meet Geneva

Hello everyone! If you follow my Let’s Plays on Youtube, then you may remember me saying that I wasn’t planning on doing a written Legacy for the Sims 4. Well, I’ve changed my mind (surprise, surprise). The thing is, I got my start in playing Legacy families back in Sims 2 as a story writer for them and I miss it. So, I decided to get back to my roots and start up a written Legacy to go along with the Fantasia Legacy Let’s Play, Animator Legacy Livestream, Saifai Legacy Let’s Play (Sims 3), and Retro Legacy (Sims 2). Holy cow that’s a lot of Legacies. And before you ask, yes, I am indeed insane! 🙂

Now then, let me introduce you to the founder of my newest Legacy:

10-01-14_3-56 PM

This is Geneva Europa. If you can’t tell by her name, I will be doing a European city naming theme for this Legacy (similar to my original Sims 2 written Legacy that I started on our old Legacy Challenge website). Say hi to everyone, Geneva!

Geneva: Huh? Who? What? Sorry was browsing the web. What did you say?

*sigh* We’re off to a good start.

"Cold" By tcc007

“Cold” By tcc007

With the point charts finally finalized, the only thing left to tackle was to rule on ghosts.

See our updated and revamped scoring page for more details.

 

Major Rule updates:

 

  • You may use the death flower to guarantee success when pleading with the reaper to save a dying Sim.
  • You may NOT use ambrosia to resurrect a dead Sim. (You may cook it and have living sims eat it if you wish)
  • You may invite ghost Sims back into your family. However, they no longer earn your Legacy family any Legacy Challenge points. They may not purchase potions of youth and any completed skills, aspirations, or other Legacy Challenge scoring methods do not count for them. They may not take a job. They cannot memorialize other Sims. If they were a member of the Legacy Challenge family.
  • Ghost Sims can still be memorialized but only by Sims that knew them in life.
  • An invited ghost who is no longer welcome may be moved out just like unwanted family members.

Legacy Challenge Rules Update 0.96

Parker Masque might be gone, but he's not forgotten.

Parker Masque might be gone, but he’s not forgotten.

Hello everyone, below you will find the following changes to the Legacy Challenge Rules:

A new concept is being introduced. The first spouse brought into the house each generation (once that generation’s heir reaches young adulthood) is known as the “Primary Spouse” The distinction of “Primary Spouse” does NOT mean the spouse HAS to be the sim who helps bring about the next generation. The “Primary Spouse” distinction is, however, important for two scoring categories.

In the “Love” category, determining which spouse’s traits to consider for collecting unique traits only looks at “Primary Spouses” even if more spouses are moved in later in a generation and/or are used to produce the next generation. Any spouses moved in AFTER the primary spouse are ignored for the purposes of the love category.

When using the trait calculator to determine a new child’s traits, the ‘secondary parent’ section is whoever was involved in the child’s birth or adoption. Weather they are a Primary or secondary spouse doesn’t matter always use that child’s actual parent when using the trait calculator (whether it be a primary spouse, secondary spouse, non-spouse etc)

A rule change for the Creative category has also been implemented. In order to earn points in the creative category, only the Founder/Heir and their primary spouse have to be memorialized in each generation to earn that generation’s point. There is no rule against memorializing spares and secondary spouses, but they are optional for the purpose of the creative point.

A Sim may be memorialized at any time, even after their death. However the person doing the memorial work must have known the Sim being memorialized in life at some point (They don’t have to have been friends with them, just have met them at least once)
