Life & Death Legacy Challenge Updates!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to let you all know that we will absolutely be updating the rules and the trait generators for the Life & Death expansion pack, but these updates will be at least a week late. I’m going to be traveling and I won’t have time to playtest anything until I get back, but the updates will hopefully go up some time in mid-November!

Oh hey… we’re back!

Hello everyone! I realize it has been almost a year since I’ve updated the website. Life has been hectic and to be honest, I ended up putting The Sims pretty far on the backburner. I haven’t even played the game in over a year.

However, I am trying to get back into updating things and have also been itching to play the Sims again. Anticipate updates to the trait generators later today and tomorrow.

I have a few other things that I’d like to look into and discuss in the future as well!

In the meantime, since I am not great at reading comments on here, if you have questions that you want answered more quickly, please join the Discord for the Legacy Challenge! I am trying to get that server going again as it is easier to hop in there and answer questions/comments that might arise.

Please stay tuned for updates!

Legacy Rules updated to include Science Babies

Hello everyone! I am slowly making my way through all of the new updates to the game and have updated the rules and succession laws to include science babies (hint: they count as naturally born as long as they can trace their lineage to the founder). The Legacy Challenge Lite rules have been updated as well.

I’ll be updating everything else for Growing Together as I get more time to play it. Stay tuned!

The website will be updated for Growing Together soon!

Hi everyone, Pinstar and I are in the process of selling our house and have been extremely busy with that and moving to a new state and what not.

We have not had a chance to even purchase Growing Together yet, let alone play it. With that in mind, we also haven’t been able to playtest it for rule adjustments. We will try and get this all updated as soon as we can, but with all of the showings happening at our house, there will be delays.

Thank you for your patience!

Paradox Announces a Competitor to The Sims

On Monday, March 6, Paradox Interactive announced a new game called Life By You. It appears that it will be a simulation game and a competitor to The Sims franchise.

Paradox Interactive is responsible for incredible games like Cities: Skylines (a successful competitor to Sim City), Crusader Kings (Sims meets RPG set in medieval times), and may other games. Not only that, but Rod Humble (a creator of Sims 2 and Sims 3) is also on the team working on this new game.

With this sort of gaming pedigree, Pinstar and I are extremely optimistic that this will be a viable competitor for a franchise that has had a monopoly on this particular type of life Sim genre for decades.

Also, for those of you wondering, yes, if we are able to make a Legacy Challenge (along with any other of our challenges) for this game, we will be.

Paradox will be releasing more info on March 20th, so stay tuned!

Mystic’s Sims 2 Legacy Series is Back!

If you follow me on Youtube, you know I had a video series going for my Sims 2 Legacy family. I took a break when real life got in the way, but they are back now with a new video! The generation 3 kids are currently in college.

New Guide: The Best & Worst Expansions For The Sims 4 Legacy Challenge

This is a question that Pinstar and I get asked a lot and I thought I would make a guide listing all of the current expansion packs from worst to best for the Legacy Challenge. You can check it out here.

I am hoping to also turn this into a video, but I am not sure when that will be posted yet. Hopefully by the end of the week!

I would also love to hear how you would rank the expansions, so let me know in the comments!
