I've wondered this for some time now about how many generations have others sims got too in their games? I've only ever made it to three I think, it would be interesting to know from you lovely simmers out there how far you have gotten and how you stick with it! Please feel free to post your comments in this thread along with some pic's if you would like to share your generations gameplay! I was playing my household in the Drifter Challenge and made it to the third house which is the third generation if I count my beginning household. Do you all count your beginning household? I've heard some do and some don't! I've recently started a generation of my simself and her hub, no kids yet but I hope I can make it through many generations with this playthrough! Here they are as my founders and my generation one, cause if I don't count them I may never get to the next generation.. :D :o https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/685854031238922271/800796614951829565/01-18-21_1-38-02_PM.png?width=1202&height=676https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/685854031238922271/800791542649847818/01-18-21_1-18-11_PM.pnghttps://media.discordapp.net/attachments/685854031238922271/800492957966139392/01-17-21_5-32-17_PM.png?width=1202&height=676 In the last pic, they were discussing how they didn't like the house with no wall paint or floorboards :D leave it to my sims to tell me a builder I'm not good at it :D

I'm currently playing a Not So Berry challenge and I'm on generation 5! Still loving my time with it. ? I'm on my phone right now, so can't share pictures but I'll do that later. This is the furthest I've gotten in TS4.

I have gotten to generation 3 in sims 4 playing a legacy in normal lifespan. But i played very recently a huge rotation with almost 30 households in long lifespan and i'm really proud that i got to generation 2 :)I count the first household (usually a YA) as my 1st generation.

One :s I don't like to see my sims age and get old

Two generations. :D It's because I play with all the premade families on a rotation and there is a lot of them now.

I play a huge rotation since I got the game and I vary the lifespan so it's hard to say. I age up sims when I feel like it's the right moment. I think I'm about on fourth generation maybe, but only for some households.In another save I had I tried to play legacy style on short lifespan and got to generation 7 until I lost my interest. May continue one day just because want to reach 10.

How Many Generations Have you Gotten to In Your Game??

I can’t even make myself play with aging so it’s still generation 1 for me :D

Maybe one day I’ll play generationally, but for now I just play rotationally with aging off. I’ve been perfecting my households and lots in the same main save since 2017 so I feel like I’m dedicated to a very specific way of playing that feels very much like a huge work in progress that aging would ruin. Maybe one day when I own all the packs I want and I edit to my hearts content, I’ll finally properly play out my universe and let them age and create the next chapter of complex storylines haha

@Duvelina I can't wait to see your pic's, congrats on Gen 5
@telmarina that is a wonderful achievement
@Onverser I can feel you on that, I was stuck on that forever
@Sharonia Yes there is a lot of them now, I've never thought about playing it that way either
@musteni the rotation family's sound good, I'm also playing with ageing off I want to age them up when I feel they need it. Now I wonder if you have aged off for the townies also that you don't play? Thinking I may need the ageing off for them as well ;)! Congrats on the 7 Generations!
@permanentrose I've played with generation 1 since I started playing in 2011, :D I've never gotten past the ageing my sims till I played the Drifter Challenge a couple of years ago. The way you are playing sounds very interesting also!

I have only ever made it to four before something happens (a game issue or, in my last case, computer malfunction). I am currently on three as I count the generation once the previous has children. The last one I had lost was created in 2017. I really miss that one, but the one I am on currently was created in 2019.

@Celticgamer0 super sorry you keep having issues that's very sad. Congrats even though with your fourth-gen and I hope your 2019 save will go on without issues!

It's only Generation 3. I do rotations as well so I took me four years in real life to play all the families. I feel very sad when I see my favorite Sims died so I stopped the aging then.
