Legacy's

Is there set rules/guidelines? I've been playing since the original Sims released but never focused on the legacy play much until halfway through 3 where I blew up my computer trying, LoL. Vampire's... can't live with em, can't release em to the wild. 😜🦹 My save sucks, I forgot to turn aging off, everyone got old and died, Vlad got hit by lightning twice while hanging with the family and died, my Sims husband dead, his replacement dead, two of her kids dead, cow plants dead, you get the picture. The surrounding towns are now full of random spawn. I would like to move her, the kids, and grandkids to a new save but won't that ruin the legacy standing?

  • I've never read in any of the rules where you can't start up a new save. Here is a link you might find helpful.

    That is only true in the sense that you won't get the in-game achievement messages on time. Like, you'll get the 10-generation achievement message at the 11th generation instead.

    Otherwise the way you structure your legacy is completely up to you and what you think is fun ☺

    If you're looking for a more structured ruleset, in addition to what was suggested above, there is a very popular legacy challenge created by Pinstar which can be found in the first post here

    And the entire stories/challenges/legacies board in our Creative Corner is a good place to find lots of other challenge and legacy ideas.
  • Hi, thank you for the heads-up on achievement's, I didn't know there were any, if it doesn't ruin legacy status I'm going to plop them in a fresh save after some of these bugs are finally fixed. I can build a few more venues and get some input on a few other things in the meantime like how to keep birth certificates, college diplomas, collections, best world temp wise for vampires, etc. I want to play my simmies!!! ??
  • The following is the only Legacy Challenge I have ever played. Began with Sims2 and was ecstatic when he did rules for Sims 4. I think this is what began the entire Legacy trend. Pinstar's Legacy Challenge

  • Hi, thank you! I have a pretty whacked out challenge going with my occults already but I was concerned about starting a new save with them. I thought I saw somewhere our legacy founder has to be a fresh creation out of cas and marry a townie and obviously putting them in a new save is going to break that.
