Stage 5: Ending the LegacyThe goal is to see how many successful generations you can have. A generation must complete all goals within the generation as described in stage 4 to count as successful. There are over 100 ways to make money in this challenge if you have all packs, but no mods/cc that create extras. That means a minimum of 100 generations to complete all challenges and more than 100 ghosts in New Crest. Is it even possible to do ultra completion with all packs? Someone needs to find out! You most likely will need mods to stop the game from culling the ghosts. Recreation of ghosts is allowed, so save them to your library! You might not have a tombstone or urn for recreated ghosts without cheats or mods, but that's OK as long as you move the ghost sim into a lot in New Crest.
Early ending can be caused by a few circumstances:
- The active legacy sim dies without heirs that can carry on the legacy.
- Mods that allow children to live alone are allowed.
- Any legacy sim child can be used to continue the challenge no matter that sim’s age. Make sure to add adults to households that might have elders pass away before children reach teenagers or have MCCC adopt neglected children.
- Teenagers previously moved out or other siblings can be reactivated if still alive. Their starting funds, debt, house and lot costs need to be reset as described in stage 3 if they're living alone. Quit any job automatically assigned by the game and choose something valid according to the rules.
- The previous legacy sim may be reactivated and have new children if they are still alive. If the previous legacy sim is a female elder, then customize the sim’s gender to get others pregnant. Find a new partner if necessary.
- Debt gets to the point that no generations can complete due to not enough money to buy starting items and still have enough lot challenges available. Maximum debt is $240,000.
- There are too many ghosts in New Crest for you to achieve a relationship with all of them. Mods and cheats that stop sim culling are allowed, but you cannot stop relationship decay with mods or cheats. Sims with the aspiration that stops relationship decay are allowed.
