TSIAL´s Build Newcrest Leagacy Challenge
I have just had a go at simplyvanillasims Build Newcrest Legacy Challenge, combining it with Queenarellas 2.0 update as well as my own little tweaks to fit the generations to my taste and packs. This is the first time I ever completed a legacy (I’m really bad at sticking to one game for too long, lol), so I am kind of proud of myself!
In this thread I will post the story of how my challenge progressed over the generations. Looking back I realized I have not been that good at taking pictures and documenting my journey, but I hope it will be a fun read anyways! I'll try to post updates somewhat regularly, and I'll update this post with an index so it's easy to jump to the most recent post. As I don't have much documentation it will probably be about one post per generation, condensed and story-fied to my (and hopefully your) liking.

A side-note to the challenge: I like playing very story-driven, so even though I did my best to follow the rules (such as randomizing traits and not changing aspirations), I also did use some mods that could be considered rule-breaking. Mainly two mods: Turbodriver’s Unlimited Jobs mod that allow multiple jobs, and LittleMsSam’s Social Activities mod that gives you handy rabbit holes where you can send sims that make the house too crowded (I am a control freak, so this really helped). I also occasionally traveled outside of Newcrest to attend the Starlight Accolades and go on vacations. If you think this is considered cheating, maybe you are correct. However, I mainly played this for my own entertainment, so I simply did what worked best for me. I also stepped up on difficulty as I sometimes combined the original generations with the 2.0 generations, and at least for me it felt balanced enough!
