with the free plan you can have only 1 tree and up to 250 sims, with the almost $3.00 (I'm rounding up) you can have 3 trees and with the almost $4.00 you can have 5 trees. None of that works for me and that's not even counting the fact I can't use money online for other reasons. I need something which can have up to 28 family trees. At least with plumtree app it was free even if it wasn't visible.

And what if you're a historical legacy player and need to have more then the tradditonal 10 generations? that's not doable really with SimsLegacyHub.

I didn't realize there was a payment plan like this. It will absolutely not work for me as a rotational player, so we can forget about it.

I’m absolutely disappointed by Legacy Hub. I’m not shocked that we’d have to pay for it. Given that Plum Tree is closing mostly due to lack of funds, I’m not surprised that they’d want to charge for it, but it’s the limitations on amounts of trees and further restrictions of number of sims in those trees that’s so disappointing. I was so ready to make an account the moment it launched because I ideally wanted something that was sims specific rather than a general family tree you could use irl. I loved Plum Tree so much and this felt like a very close match. I wouldn’t have minded paying for it if it wasn’t so size limited. I might wait and see how it does after launch, I’m wondering if they’ll update it to allow more trees / sims per tree once they hear people complaining about it.

I'm sticking with the My Family Tree app. I have added 888(!) Sims to it from my 15 generations. I love it so far.

Yeah. On paper charging for the trees isn't too terrible (site ain't gonna pay for itself, tragically) but with HOW limited the number is it just isn't viable, no matter paid or free.

I guess it depends. I have a legacy file with 12 generations and the total sims is 79. I imagine, in this case of that one person on the plumtree app that has 64 gens, this isn't good for folks with especially large trees.

It would be good for me, except the free plan has one thing that puts me off and that's the no shareable link.

What even is Plum Tree app? I don't think this is created by Maxis either.

It's not. It's an online browser app (or was) that allowed us to make as many trees as we wanted and then share the links, etc. Unfortunately as it got more and more popular the cost of bandwidth for the server host got higher over the years until they ended up asking for donations but it only postponed the inevitable for awhile since the cost was still rising.

For those that asked about the My Family Tree app, it's the MS one and it is basically and offline tree app.

Just trying out the SLH, and one thing I noticed is that turning takes priority over marriage. What I mean by that is, the line between the two will say turned. You can't have it display that they're married on the line. Marriages have their own seperate indicators on the connecting lines however

Editing relationships seems to consist of breaking the connection all the together and starting over.

Images get scaled down so they'll look a little pixelated.

Anyway, this is what I started with:

This site has replaced it for me.

Thank you for posting that!

I would highly recommend look at @Ersa_Middleton 's comment (here) and read the comment (mine) he's replying to because I actually looked into the this site when it was announced and it's not worth the cost (since its not free) and its very limited in the number of sims and family trees. So I really hope you don't need more then 5 trees because you aren't going to be getting it with this family tree app.


But here's a repost of my OG comment about Sim Legacy hub

with the free plan you can have only 1 tree and up to 250 sims, with the almost $3.00 (I'm rounding up) you can have 3 trees and up to Up to 500 Sims (per tree) and with the almost $4.00 you can have only 5 trees and Up to 750 Sims (per tree)

Have you tried your own hand at creating a tree? Just do a search for free editable family tree chart. I found one on docformats. They have 16 templates, one is called Family history which looks as if it would fit the bill. Best of luck.

No, I haven't. Am I able to enter in all the information about a sim in that? I not only use it as a family tree, I also use it as way to store information about sims, like their traits, aspirations, cause of death and other random information.

I was using a legacy score sheet but they aren't updating that anymore either. I guess I'll have to start a file on the information for each sim and then make a tree somewhere else

It's a little weird to use for Sims, but MyHeritage (which is a family tree site for real people) has a free app. Admittedly, I don't use it for sims but use it for my writing when family trees are neccisary, but it should work about the same for sims.

I was thinking of MyHeritage, but it's really for actual people and I don't want to mess up the AI of the site with matching my sims with possible real people haha. I might just go to Family Echo, it's a basic site that doesn't link anything to anyone else
