Featured Legacy of the Week – Cass’ Avery Legacy!

Cass’ founder, Carmen McElroy

Welcome to another Featured Legacy of the Week! Each week we will randomly select someone from the pool of Simmers that sent in their Legacy’s info on our “Share Your Legacies with Us!” post. Those of you that haven’t sent in a Legacy yet are still more than welcome to do so. The more the merrier!

This week’s Featured Legacy of the Week is the Avery Legacy by Cass. As of writing this post, the Avery Legacy is currently up to generation 2. You can read all about the family on Cass’ Tumblr. Cass is even creating her own family tree that you can check out to see how the family is progressing!

Happy Simming!

Legacy Challenge & Wonder Child Let’s Play List – Week of 1/5/2015

Hello everyone! We hope you all are enjoying the new year! We decided to start up two new, weekly posts here that will highlight both Legacy Challenge & Wonder Child Let’s Players as well as story writers. Each week we will post a list of new Let’s Plays and chapters in separate posts so that you can check out what others are doing and stay up to date with them. I will be posting the Let’s Play list today and the written story list tomorrow (which means that the Let’s Play list will be posted each Monday and the writers list each Tuesday).

Since this is the first week and it is right after the holidays, I have chosen to include the most recent episodes from the month of December for all active Let’s Players. That way you can catch up on what you may have missed!

Here are the new Legacy Challenge & Wonder Child Let’s Play episodes for the week of January 5, 2015:

JudeSims’ founder, Rhapsody Melodia

This week’s Featured Legacy is the Melodia Legacy by JudeSims. This is a written Legacy and is currently up to chapter four. JudeSims had to recently restart due to a corruption causing them to be unable to play their previous Legacy. Luckily that hasn’t stopped JudeSims from writing!

Happy Simming!

Merry Christmas from The Sims Legacy Challenge! We Have a Present For You!

Hello everyone! We hope you all have an amazing holiday season! We just wanted to take a moment and thank you all for the amazing support that you showed Pinstar and I this year. We had a bit of a rough year in real life, but being able to interact with all of you and share our love of Sims with you has been amazing and has helped us get through the tough times.

As a bit of a Christmas present we wanted to let you in on a little (ok, it’s not really that little) secret project that Pinstar has been working on. He is working on bringing the popular Apocalypse Challenge from the Sims 2 over to the Sims 4! We know a lot of you have been clamoring for this challenge since The Sims 4 was released. This challenge is huge in scope, moreso than even the Legacy Challenge, so it takes some time to get written up and playtested, but it SHOULD be up in the next month or two. So keep and eye out, I will try to update you on Pinstar’s progress with it when I can!

In the meantime, if you want to play the Apocalypse Challenge for the Sims 2, check out the rules here.

As an aside, if you don’t already own the Sims 4, it is currently on sale on Amazon for $20 off the regular retail price. So get it while you can!

We Now Host the Sims 2 Apocalypse Challenge!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you know that we are now hosting the rules for the Sims 2 Apocalypse Challenge! They were originally hosted by the Apoca-Borg website, but the owner of the site has recently asked that we take it back over. Currently I have Pinstar’s original Sims 2 Apocalypse Challenge core rules up, and I am working on adding the additional rules for the expansions. It’s a HUGE challenge so it will take some time to get it all up, but if you are interested in checking out the core ruleset for the Sims 2 base game, then head on over to the Sims 2 Apocalypse Challenge rules! I will also be adding a scoresheet in the next couple of days as well.

This is rather appropriate timing too… I won’t say more than that though 😉

The Legacy Challenge and Game Updates

A lovely teaser shot of the upcoming world, Granite Falls.

With the recent announcement of the upcoming Outdoor Retreat game pack coming to the Sims 4, you might be wondering how the Legacy Challenge will fit into the game changes as they are released.

During the Sims 2 days, Pinstar worked hard to bring updates to the Legacy Challenge as the updates to the game came out. We were unable to keep up with that in The Sims 3 due to real life demands, but we are hoping to be as active with the Sims 4 and its game updates as we were with The Sims 2.

We will be trying to implement challenge changes within a couple of weeks of the game being updated, but it may take time to playtest all of the changes.

As for the upcoming game pack, not much is known about what it will add to the game, so we can’t say for sure how it will affect the challenge, but we will keep you posted as we learn new information and HOPEFULLY give you an idea of some of the changes that will be made to the Legacy Challenge to accommodate it!

What do you all think the new game pack will include? We’d love to hear your speculations!

Eat Like a Sim’s Month of Cookies – Sims 2 Santa Cookies (with an Announcement!)

If you’ve played The Sims series for as long as I have, then you probably remember the Sims 2 Santa Cookies recipe. This recipe was available through the Sims 2 Holiday Stuff Pack, and if you were lucky enough to receive the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection for free from Origin, then you already have this recipe available. If your Sims made these cookies and then went to bed, Santa would appear to bring them gifts (and also pee in their toilet several times).

It was always fun to decorate my Sims 2 Legacy family’s house for Christmas, bake the Santa Cookies, and then eagerly await the arrival of Santa in the middle of the night. Sure there was a chance the Christmas tree would catch on fire, but hey, the anticipation was worth it!

The Europa Legacy – Chapter 4 – The Courting of SimGuruGraham

Hello and welcome to Chapter 4 of the Europa Legacy! If you haven’t read the previous chapters, they can be found here.

Sorry for the lack of updates with this family lately everyone! Let’s just say I went a bit insane with YouTube and ended up burning out a bit. So, I’m back to writing for a while because if I have to look at my video editing software for another minute I’m going to need a straight jacket.

*clears throat* Aaaaaaanyway, back to the topic at hand! The Europa Legacy! In the last chapter, Geneva met a rather handsome man by the name of SimGuruGraham. For those of you who were wondering if moving Graham into the family was Legacy legal… it is. I downloaded him from the gallery in a family of other Gurus (just like I would have if he were a #LegacyLove) and didn’t know his traits beforehand, so he’s fair game!

Geneva: So umm… reading together was… fun. But I was wondering, would you be interested in… going out for a drink or something?

Graham: Sure, that would be fun!

Geneva: Ok, great!
