The Walk of Life Legacy Challenge **NEW** --Be warned, this challenge is a beast! ^.^--

Welcome to the official thread for the Walk of Life Legacy Challenge (WoL)! This is a spin on the Careeracy, except this includes a much wider variety of vocations for your Sims. It takes any plausible method of making money--of which I've counted 57--and turns it into a generational requirement. See the list below of all possible vocations and the requirements that go along with that particular generation. Please note that this list includes all expansion packs.

---Rules---

1. Any gender can be heir/heiress, unless playing a Patriarchy/Matriarchy.
2. All states of life are permitted with the exception of Simbots. (You may have Simbots in your household, but they cannot be heir/heiress.)
3. If you don't fulfill the requirements of a generation, you must either restart the legacy or try again on a later generation.
4. Members of the household (such as spares or mates) cannot complete the challenges. Only heirs/heiresses are eligible to complete the requirements.
5. In the event you don't have the appropriate expansion packs, substitute a more reasonable requirement to fulfill. If you don't have the appropriate expansion pack for the selected vocation, skip it.
6. Lifetime Rewards may be used if they do not affect the outcome of the generational challenge.
7. If an heir/heiress fulfills more than one generation's requirements (for example, completes both the Science and Fisher challenges), only one may be counted. The other must be completed by a later generation.
8. Traits can be either chosen or randomized, as long as the necessary traits to complete the challenge are in place.
9. You may choose any lifespan that you prefer. Note that some of the challenges are difficult to complete on Normal.
10. Choosing the generational vocation: Due to the trait requirements, it may be in your best interest to hand-pick the career your heir/heiress will pursue. However, if you wish to randomize it, you may. My suggestion for randomizing is to use this randomizer and choose the heir/heiress based on whichever child fulfills the trait requirements for the randomized vocation. You may also opt to "plan ahead" and roll the randomizer as soon as the first child of the next generation is born--that way, you have control over picking the appropriate traits to fulfill the requirements of the upcoming vocation.

  • Hi Kim! To be honest, I'm not sure. It's been years since I did the Politics career! I think I remember there being some sort of option to do a motivational speech or something so maybe it has to do with that?

    Best of luck! I'm on generation 9! :)
  • I have a question - can the spouse fill requirements? Example - your heir is in the music Rock Star branch, and their spouse in the music Symphonic branch. Would that fill out the requirements, so that Symphonic wouldn't have to be done in another generation?
  • Typically not. At least that is how I'm playing. Only the heir can fulfill the requirement in my game.

    I see no reason why you could not have the spouse fulfill one if that is how you want to play it though, there are plenty of careers to go around!
  • I guessed that the answer would be no, but thought I'd check anyway... this challenge is going to take forever!
  • It is a lengthy one for sure! I have some friends who are skipping some careers if they don't appeal to them so it's not like you MUST do them all. I want to go through them all personally, so I can say I've done all careers in the game! :D

    Good luck if you choose to do this one!
