Help! I Want to Start a Legacy

Hello, other simmers! I want to start a legacy, but I am having trouble picking a sim. I want to be able to share some of my gameplay here at the forum. Here are some of my thoughts, plus the pros and cons.

Option #1: Continue with the Strollers

Eartha and her husband Gavin adopted four children while living in a small house in Sulani. Then, the couple had three children of their own.

Pros: Already started. There is material to work with

Cons: Already started. Half the children are gone already.

Option #2: Growing Up Landgraab

Helena is the daughter of the deceased Cassandra Goth and Malcolm Landgraab. Malcolm thought that caring for a baby was annoying, so he left her on Eartha's doorstep. Now, Helena is grown and studying to be an actress. Meanwhile, she is learning the secrets of ambrosia.

Pros: I love this character. She's lots of fun.

Cons: Already started - but that is not too much of a drawback. There are still lots of places where her story can go.

Option #3: Greek Mythology Legacy with Chaos

Chaos, a former astronaut, lands on a vacant world with nothing but a makeshift shelter and a handful of seeds. Oh, and she's allergic to the sun. Better watch out for that.

The legacy would be "won" once the family reached the Olympian generation.

Pros: Has not started.

Cons: Will likely take a bit more setup, but it would be lots of fun. Challenging, too.

Option #4: Alphabetcy with Plant or Spice Names

Meet Angelica and Allspice Spicer. These newlyweds plan on taking over Henford-on-Bagley.

Pros: I love the idea of naming kids after plants. Angelica and Allspice are related to other sims in my game, too. 

Cons: For some reason, I'm not as excited about this idea.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

  • I like option 4 the most 🙂It would be great to see how their family develops, and Henford is a lovely country place to raise a family. You need though to choose a household that you will enjoy playing. Each of the options would be great to do!

    15aewarI'm leaning toward option 3, because starting out with a vampire rags to riches sounds brutal, and I do like brutality. What Greek Mythology Legacy rules would you be playing with?

      Probably my own! Since the idea is to go from Chaos down maybe through Herakles, each sim would be based on the Greek counterpart. It would focus on the heir, but when it gets down to Zeus / Hades / Poseidon, there would probably be some rotational play.

      So, the goal for the heir(s) would be 1. Fill out the family tree; 2. Re-enact the myths.

  • So far, here's where the votes stack up:

    Strollers: 0

    Landgraab: 3

    Greek Myth: 2

    Spicers: 1

    Hmm. I think I will wait until Monday to decide. I really appreciate all the feedback!
