I don't do challenges, and I guess my play is more a legacy style, but my sims lives are epic. Its been 3 years and my current sims have finally aged from teen to YA and had their first set of kids. I let my sims tell stories and my current family I'm playing started in April of 2017. If I need a break from them, I go to one of my other families. The current quest is for Adam to find his true family. He has found and proved his mothers side, and awaiting results on his fathers side to be proved or not as a Grandson of the Fairy King and possible heir to the kingdom as his suspected father was the heir to the throne before he died.
