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

@Brexoxo at least you made it that far lol

The furthest I’ve gotten in one save is generation 3.

Its been a few years since my legacy was complete. I had fun with their names. The last name was Storm. I named the children fun things like, David Thunder Storm, Abigail Snow Storm, Tobias Hail Storm, etc. It was hard to see some of my favorites grow old and die, but I'd come to fall in love with their children as well so it was okay to see the lineage/legacy continue. It was hard but very rewarding at the same time.

I've never done a legacy, but I've been playing the same main family since September 2015. --- (I have other "sometimes" files.)
My game crashed in July 2016, and I lost all my characters, including neighbors and extended family and all my builds in all the worlds I had at the time (5 or 6 including base game. Now, I have all the worlds and packs.

So, I started from scratch and rebuilt the last 4 generations of the family, extended family and any neighbors whom were important to my main family. My main family has most of the skills in game, and aging has been off since I restarted the file.

However, before aging was off, I had about 30 generations of my main family, so, it was kind of like a legacy without all the rules of a legacy challenge.

I have tried sooooo many times and idk why I just can’t get through it! Something comes up or something happens where I feel like I need to start over. One of these days I’ll do it!! :D

I've never made it past the third generation as kids, and I was really, really trying that time. The gameplay just seems to be so much of the same thing, no matter what traits/careers you choose. I miss the chaos and surprise of previous iterations.

In every game I play, my main households are all descendants from the first household I play in the game. In Sims 2, I got to over 30 generations, though things started to glitch up when I had a 30~th generation sim have 20 children.

I'm thinking of doing a ~real~ legacy challenge (by following the fan-made rules) sometime. I tried it in Sims 2, but I only got to generation 3 or 4 before the Sims 2 website went down and took my stories with it.

Well, on my PS3 I played with 10 generations in TS3, but I cheated - I moved my founder into his wife's huge mansion and lived there for the remainder of the challenge. It was too easy, so I started again in TS4. I started and gave up on many legacies, but I have one I'm not willing to give up on. I haven't even gotten to Generation 2 and I haven't posted everything I've written yet (due to my bad Internet connection), but you can check out the few chapters I have so far. You can click on the link in my signature to read it on my blog. I have a few other stories I've started, too.

PS: Sorry about the second chapter of my Geeky Legacy story - the content of that chapter got deleted somehow and I'm too lazy to rewrite it, but maybe I will.

I prefer going for the ''perfect'' sims, so I opted out for playing with generations, and of course, turned aging off.

Can't say if I have never considered that though.

@invisiblgirl That's amazing! Did you keep score?

@simwolf So many legacies! So it's basically one continuous legacy? That's crazy! lol

@seaprincesshipst Yeah I had a lot of problems with the sims 3. By the time the 3rd gen was born the game was glitching pretty badly. Good luck!

@LindsaySeddon1 If my sims have too much money I think I will find a way to write it into my story that they lose it somehow. Or lose a lot of it lol.

@EA_Mai I am this exactly! I want to play it out differently or play a family a different way and just leave the legacy behind lol

@Frn0731 Well done!

@xPIXLx I always want to see the children succeed and I want to play all of them and make their lives great. But then I get overwhelmed as well. It's a bit crazy in my legacy at the moment with only 3 kids lol

@DoodlyDoofus That's great! Playing it for so long, how do you not get bored?

I just counted in the family tree. Sometimes I feel like doing something different, so I'll start a new save, but I get bored eventually and go back to my legacy family (which is the opposite of how I've played the Sims prior to 4 - being able to move Sims in and out of the house makes legacies so much easier to manage).
