Have you finished a 10 generation Legacy? (or more)

I'm on generation 5, which is about to try for their first baby, so it will soon be generation 6.

Generation 4 was just a single guy who never got romantic but had some unfortunate encounters with aliens... twice.

I tend to play with aging on normal. Sometimes short if I'm getting impatient with teens or toddlers. ^_^;;

My first ongoing family in ts4 lasted 7 generations, but I had no storyline or rules/regulations that made gameplay fun so it ended up teetering out. The save is long gone but I love looking at the family tree I made for it- grim is even in there somewhere. My second one ended at gen 7 too for the same reason. Now I'm doing a decades challenge with pretty strict rules (only on generation 2) so hopefully this one lasts :p

@takenbysheep Good luck!

I may take a break from my current household and play a different save game just to switch things up, but I'm hoping I eventually get to gen 10.

I say the same thing and never return! I like the new family more than the old one most of the time lol

@Stardust123 I abandoned them once before, but came back to them because they became my Strangerville family. So I figure their gen 6 will explore whatever the next GP or EP is. ^_^

But yeah, I do the same thing a lot, too.

Yes, I completed Pinstar's 10 Generation Legacy Challenge many years ago, using Sims 2. At the time you could upload stories, with pictures and captions, directly from the game to the Sims 2 website, so I uploaded my legacy chapters to document my legacy family.

I've never started another legacy, even though I've continued playing the game through Sims 3 and Sims 4; maybe I should have another go? :D

I get sidetracked into building new houses for new generations and then get into building mode and forget all about going on.

I tend to like creating large families of eight and separating them all out with a tent and necessaries onto separate lots instead.

I had a save file where I attempted my first ever legacy challenge after seeing an achievement for making it to 100. My Sim met a townie and moved in together, got married and had 3 kids. As they aged up I focused on the eldest and found him a wife, got him married, moved them in together and had a few kids. Things got out of hand at that point as I was playing all members of the family on rotation and decided to call it quits. That save was the first time I'd made it out of generation 1, so I was pretty proud. I also learnt to only have 1 kid in a legacy otherwise things can get pretty messy...

Now, I'm sticking with my off-the-grid save with a brother/sister duo and eventually I'll create a townie with a backstory and begin a family with one of them. I plan to create a legacy and stick to one save file, but perhaps a few different families.

I was doing the not so berry challenge last year but then my computer died and along with it went my entire save file. I was on the grey generation. After I tried a regular legacy style but got bored on gen 1.

For sure I will pick up the NSB challenge again in the future. It was a lot of fun.

I have such a short attention span it’s quite sad. But I created a new sim on March 8th and it’s been a week now so that’s a pretty long time for me staying on one sim. She is now pregnant with her second child however, so maybe I’ll end up paying more attention to them and not getting bored.
