Stage 3: Guide the legacy sim through life stages.
- Earn money following the main rules.
- Pay down the debt as much as possible by cheating away money and subtracting it from the total debt. You may not do anything that requires money while you have existing debt unless it’s required to earn money. Any further debt added must be doubled.
- At some point, the legacy sim needs to have a child. Relationships and marriage is optional, but may be required or forbidden based on traits. In most cases, the other parent of the legacy sim needs to be a ghost in the ghost town after death.
- You may only have offspring with a human unless it makes sense from your current legacy sim's occult status, traits, aspiration or job that you choose an occult sim. Having an occult aspiration allows being with that occult type. Having a scientist or astronaut job allows aliens. Being a lifeguard, diver or marine biologist or having the child of the ocean/islands traits allows mermaids. If you are a half alien, you may choose other half aliens or full aliens. If you are unaware of another sim’s occult status and marry one by accident, that’s fine even if you find out later. This should be rare because a lot of occults give themselves away.
- The other parent can move into the household or not according to preference, but must not bring any money or items with them. The other parent must be converted to a ghost on death with the sim's tombstone stored in New Crest if their child becomes a legacy sim. Parents of non-legacy children do not need to be a ghost unless they are married to a legacy sim at the time of that legacy sim's death.
- You cannot change the prospective mate's gender or customize the gender. If the sim is not compatible with your current legacy sim, the legacy sim can be customized to either “become pregnant” or “get others pregnant” regardless of the birth gender. This allows for all types of relationships and still preserves the genetics portion of the legacy. It also allows for a female elder to have a child if she waits too long. If your spouse is gender neutral (can't become pregnant and can't get others pregnant), then you may cheat the current legacy sim into being pregnant or try for baby with a random sim to simulate having a child through IVF. Your spouse will adopt the toddler as a care dependent and the donor sim does not need to be converted into a ghost since for story purposes, that sim is unknown. If you want your legacy sim to be gender neutral, then you may adopt an heir, but only as a baby. If using IVF or adoption, the legacy sim's current significant other is considered the natural parent of the baby. That sim needs to end up in the ghost town after death.
- Amount of children is up to you (unless traits require more), but only one child will be chosen to carry on the legacy.
- You can control all potential legacy children until one of them is declared chosen.
- All siblings need to end up in the New Crest graveyard when dead.
- When a child ages up to teen, that child must either be chosen for the next legacy sim or move out as not chosen. Teens not chosen can be moved into a house or merged with other households. Funds may be cheated or use free real estate.
- Once you have chosen a child as the next legacy sim (at teenager), your time is up to repay your debt, complete your aspirations and max your skill or career. You must retire from your job and close any businesses.
- You may only have offspring with a human unless it makes sense from your current legacy sim's occult status, traits, aspiration or job that you choose an occult sim. Having an occult aspiration allows being with that occult type. Having a scientist or astronaut job allows aliens. Being a lifeguard, diver or marine biologist or having the child of the ocean/islands traits allows mermaids. If you are a half alien, you may choose other half aliens or full aliens. If you are unaware of another sim’s occult status and marry one by accident, that’s fine even if you find out later. This should be rare because a lot of occults give themselves away.
