Legacy tips & tricks

Hi so I really wanna start a legacy save but I struggle with sticking with it so can you guys give me some tips and tricks to stick with it? I usually get bored at generation 4-5 so any tips are greatly appreciated, I am open to all sorts of ideas I own all the packs and use CC and mods. Thank you in advance.

  • I have found the best way is to set a goal for the next heir, which keeps me motivated. Best of luck.

    I personly like to have each generation do a different pack, even the older ones.

  • For me, personally, the difference has been to let time pass, as in doing the decades challenge (or my version of it) in game at the same time. That leaves me things to adjust to, such as no running water indoors at start, no tv, no radio and so on. As time passes, fashion change, more play options become available. When out of ideas for gameplay, I can look at history (what happened in that year) and adapt my play after that. 

    I suppose a version of this would be to let time pass forwards, going into the future - how will things change? Another version is to limit yourself to certain pack features, or play 1 world per generation, 1 pack per generation and so on. 

    I also play rotational, so start with one family then play their kids as they branch out, rather than having just one heir I have several, then stick with the one I enjoy the most.

  • I came across a Sims 4 Legacy Challenge that was specific, but I've only seen it posted on FB (public post so visible without being logged in/using FB).  I was able to find it by googling "no mom/dad, that's your dream sims 4 legacy challenge"  It has specific goals for each generation, uses just about every pack up to the point where it was created, follows a nice theme, and spans 15 generations (thus far.)  When I tell you that it really challenged me and made things fun again, I mean it.  I have every pack so it can be a bit overwhelming deciding what to do.  It's given me some direction, though I'm still not finished with it. :)

    I find that challenges like the Not So Berry Challenge or a Careers challenge where there's a different goal/goals for each generation is something that motivates me to keep going because it makes each generation different from the previous one so it's new and interesting.
