Do people still write and read sims 3 legacy challenge stories? Which site do you think is the best?

I've always loved them myself. I still hunt for new ones to read, but its rare these days to find a Sims 3 one. I find that strange since I know there's quite an active Sims 3 community, but most of the ones I find are Sims 4 these days.

I would certainly ready a Sims 3 legacy still and be quite happy to do so!

@alexjoanroww Legacy stories aren't the first ones I'll read personally (I prefer challenge stories and made up stories :blush: ) but there still are many of us who write many different kinds of "SimLit" and post them on the forum or onto blogs, myself included. :)

I use WordPress and really like it!

If you check out the "Stories and Legacies" section here you'll find TONS of legacy stories as well as other stories to check out, read, and gain ideas from. :)
Edit: Make sure you're checking in the "Sims 3 General Discussion" categories.

Best wishes!

But, @emorrill , a Legacy Challenge story is a challenge story, if the player is playing by the Legacy Challenge rules (no cheats, starting with a YA sim on a large empty lot and very little money) and basing the story on their gameplay! @alexjoanroww , if you're writing this sort of story, I would be very interested in reading it. I personally prefer to read stories here in the Stories and Legacies subforum, but I know that some other readers prefer blogs, so you should choose whatever feels best for you!

I use WordPress and I'm fairly happy with it. I don't know if the interest is still important, I think it depends on how you write your legacy. Just generation after generation of marriages, working and dying is rather boring IMHO...

I can recommend a few that have succeeded in creating interesting stories for each generation. Check them out:

Kymber at Booomcha. Her Noble Doubt story is a legacy, currently at generation 6, with different storylines that keeps up the interest :)

Jessesue at Stories by Bee She has written 3 generations (so far!) Her poses are true gems! :)

Louise at Not Just a Book A very interesting story taking place in Monte Vista - 2 generations so far! :)

Jowita at Never Do It Again She's at generation 6, and there is never a boring moment! :)

I'm also writing a story that started out as a legacy, but rapidly turned into something more book like. Just click on my siggy and it will take you to the Grey Witches blog!

Enjoy!

This is the one I'm currently reading. Its witty, funny, and entertaining and I'd highly recommend if you like the funny ones. https://onyeka001.wordpress.com/manners-please/

@jillbg @emorrill : what is the difference between an own webside and wordpress? Is there any? (I´m a completely newbie when it comes to such things!! :o )
Oh,and do they cost something and if so, how much?
And what about tumblr?

@AlexaKry tumblr is also a blogsite, just as WordPress. WP have two options - free, but with limited possibilities, and otherwise paying. The price depends on how much storage you want.
A website is your own construction, and can work as a blogsite but you have to do everything yourself...

@jillbg so if I' ll get the hipsters I'll go to tumblr? ?
And how much space is for free? (at WP)
(and to reveal me as a stupid newbie: what is a blog?) ?

@PalmArrow Oh... You're right. :neutral: I forgot most legacy stories have challenge rules.

What I meant to say is those are the least interesting stories to me because most people write them the way @jillbg described below and it's a little boring to me. :confused: Repitition gets old fast in my book... Sorry. :( I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings saying that, it's just a personal opinion. I like a story to have character growth and many new adventures happening along the way, good or bad. It keeps me engaged helps me relate more to the characters. :)

@AlexaKry Jillbg gave you a great response. :) I'm not sure how to describe what a Blog is at the moment because I'm so sleepy :sleepy: but it's basically you're very own webpage, that's often times free, that you set up to your liking and write and post all your stuff. @jillbg , maybe you can explain better? :mrgreen:

I need a nap...

@duhboy2u2 Your words are really encouraging! Also thank you for the link,I'll surely check it out :smiley:
@emorrill Thanks for your advice and wishes! I'll make sure to check it out.
@PalmArrow Thank you for your interest! I haven't started writing yet,I'll let you know once I will.
@jillbg It can be boring but I've came to find out that interesting plotwists always arise while playing. Also thanks for the links,I'll definitely check them out :smiley:
