- linzstar6 years agoRising VeteranI started a legacy about two years ago and I play on and off over time. I'm currently on gen 6 and gen 7 are toddlers. I have started with pinstar's legacy challenge but over time I added my own rules to my liking. I have a couple different saves going on, so I play on whoever I feel like that day. But I also take long breaks in between game play.
- As much as I love legacies, I just can't bring myself to let my sims die.
- Stardust14886 years agoSeasoned AdventurerAll of you have some great ideas! I've restarted my legacy 3 times in the last 3 weeks lol. I'm terrible :D but I am going to keep trying! People who have got over 10 generations, that's crazy! and those of you who finished good on you! Those who are still going, just keep going, you're doing great and those people who keep restarting just like me, we will get there one day lol
- cogshell6 years agoRising HotshotI've tried a couple times in the past but always got too bored of them. I'm currently enjoying my current household right now and am almost at the part where they'll try for a generation 3 baby, so maybe I'll actually get there? I usually stopped near the beginning of generation 3.

That's the point I get to with a story and then I think I can do it better/write it better and start again. It's so frustrating and I do this with other games too lol - janyses6 years agoSeasoned AceFor the last 5 years, I've played on long lifespan, only allowing aging for the current household. While rotating through 10+ families. It takes an incredibly long time to progress through generations that way. However, I recently enabled aging for everyone (including non-played,) to spice things up. I'll see how it goes.
- janyses6 years agoSeasoned Ace@OP, couldn't you continue the legacy while keeping the founder alive? Feed him ambrosia, give him the potion, wish for life at the wishing well, make him a vampire, etc. I don't know if there are rules against this in legacy challenges, as I've never tried them.

I don't really follow the rules but I guess that could be done, maybe make them a vampire and they disappear and come back later maybe? hmmm ideas!! - Suziish6 years agoSeasoned Ace

I'm on Generation 4 (children) of Pinstar's Legacy Challenge, with a total of 73 points so far.
I have reached house 11, so far, of the drifter challenge, which is a legacy of sorts, you just start over with each new heir in a new house with zero funds and new goals. But, my house 11 heir can trace his lineage all the way back to house 01 founder, Anna Schmitt.
I think that drifter challenge would suit me much better than what I consider traditional legacy challenge (probably the same as Pinstar's?). Might delete my current legacy attempt and start drifter at some point.
@musteni Drifter is a lot of fun, and with you starting fresh, at zero funds, with new goals each generation, I feel (or me, anyways) it has a lot of play-ability. I've reached generation 11 (house 11) twice, but I've played the drifter challenge many, many times since Vi has created it. And she just recently retweaked the rules, so you sims can do more things now. :)
Here's a link to the rules, in case you don't have that. :)
I'm actually on house #4 of Drifter and it IS a ton of fun. The three houses I've built so far have been the only ones I've ever been proud of (not that they're anything complicated, but I'm not much of a builder). I need to get back to my gen 4 heir, I left him stranded on a snow-covered lot. :D
One of my Sim Bucket Lists is to complete the entire Drifter Challenge Houses with one family. I'm on House 11, so almost halfway there (I believe there is 23 or 26 houses).
House 04? Ah, that's a fun house! Just wait, some of the later houses, too are a ton of fun. One of my favorites is house 07, so far. LOL, You're poor heir. Hopefully he has a tent or something to get him out of the weather :D Happy Drifting! :) - Currently on Generation 3. Playing the same file since May of Last year. I always love to start one but always attached so never moved on. This time tried once again. However I find the "Normal" life span to be too short to spend my
sim lives and especially seasons I was like
"Really a child can only experience winter once in his childhood or never at all?"
That is why I started playing at Long Lifespan and why I am still at Generation3.
