I've seen a lot of people saying how they try to have legacy families but find it hard, and never make it past gen 1 or 2. I used to be that way but after years of changing households constantly, I've created a legacy that I love so much. You have to start with a sim you LOVE. You can't just hop into CAS and think 'well she looks good enough. She'll have to do' You have to make sure your sim is perfect, and if you get tired of them, give them a makeover! And if you're struggling, get some cc. I know cc isn't everyone's thing but try it out, it can make so much of a difference. And if you don't like the way most cc looks, try maxis match. It blends really well with the game and makes it so much better. Some people go all out with cc, others just have a few pieces, like me. Other people just have some hair. So find your style of playing. Take things slowlyyy. One of the biggest mistakes I used to make was that I'd start with a husband and wife with teenage kids. Don't do that, it takes the fun out of a legacy. Don't cheat money either. That also doesn't make it any fun. I cheat needs sometimes but thats because I prefer storytelling and focus on the storyline more than the gameplay. If your legacy is getting boring, don't let it. Like I said before, give them a makeover. Switch it up, you could move house, have another child, adopt one, even get another pack if you can afford it and have wanted it for a while. Give yourself a change of scenery. Starting businesses is also helpful since it's something you can focus on and it can really help. just don't let your legacies get too boring and typical. And if you feel like there's nothing you can do, skip to the next generation. Hope this helps! :smiley:
