I'd mention that shuffling the generations is allowed.


And I think the holiday homes would be best split into the three separate ones. Own a home in Egypt for the Egypt generation. Home in France for the France generation. Home in China for the China generation. Unless you allow for people to buy blank lots, it will be too hard for a majority of players especially given the 2nd generation LTW of surrounded by family. And the challenge should be balanced for the order suggested.


Me, I'd have to move the generations that push for getting rich until much later, most likely towards the end of the challenge. For me, the challenge is having limited funds. Your challenge pushes get rich quick! And that ruins the challenge for me. Once you have the funds to build a great house, you no longer have to worry about mood as much.

Thanks for the advice. The problem with the first suggestion is that you need to have a max visa level to buy a holiday/vacation home, and one of the lifetime wishes in the third generation is to max out the visa level in all three destinations, so that's when you'll be given the opportunity. Since the other generations don't have visa points, one of the Sims will have to earn them again. However, I've moved the goal to the long-term goals so that people can do that if they want, or delay it until after the fourth generation is born.

The reason I put those goals at the start is because most players would have completed them anyway if I had put them any further. Once the lifetime wishes are completed, you can do whatever you want with the money, so perhaps you could move a household member you don't need anymore into an expensive house then you'd be back to limited funds. :lol:

I'm working on writing the rules that effect the whole challenge right now.

But generation 1 to me ruins the challenge. How many players of the legacy go: oh the time when they had all the money in the world was the fun part? How many go: the part where they were struggling to make ends meet and had to live on the lawn was the fun part?


At least switch it with the 2nd generation's goals, if you're wanting to leave it with having some challenge. Between Jack of All trades and Surrounded by Family, they shouldn't be rich enough to take the bite out of that challenge. And the money values they need will raise if they do get rich enough. At least to some degree in the games I've seen with that LTW.


And true with the Visa levels needed for the housing, but it's not that hard to get max Visa in one location. Not to mention, unless you want to drag mom and dad to the places again, it would be worth while to max Visa to give the most time to earn friends. And that only helps with Egypt. Gen 2 will likely be dead by the time Gen 4 is old enough, and definitely by the time Gen 5 is, unless you go for a long lived occult and not everyone wants to play with occults.


Just an interesting tidbit, short of the friends requirement, I've done gen 3 before on accident. Heir had Seasoned Traveler. Spouse came in with Great Explorer.
