Random Trait Generator Updated for Latest Patch

Hey everyone! Pinstar and I are getting settled into the new house so expect to see more frequent posts from us in the next week or so!
I just wanted to let you know that the Random Trait Generator has been updated for the latest patch and now includes the “Kleptomaniac” trait. The Grilled Cheese aspiration is NOT on the generator as it requires certain criteria to be met in order to be activated.

An conflict issue between Goofball and Snob has also been corrected so those two traits should not appear together anymore.

If you guys find any further conflicts, please let us know!

Latest Free Sims 4 Update, Aspirations, and Real Life Stuff!

TS4_646_ANNIVERSARY_01_006_1k_FLAT

Hi everyone! Hope you all are enjoying the new free content that released with The Sims 4!

We just wanted to let you all know that with our move to a new state imminent (we move next week, eek!) we will be slow to update the rules to include the new Grilled Cheese Aspiration, Gardener NPC, and Kleptomaniac Trait. Neither of us have had a chance to play the game in at least a month, let alone playtest it to figure out how these new items fit into the rules. Most likely we will update everything, including the Random Trait Generator in a couple of weeks once we get ourselves settled into our new house.

We apologize for the delay, but real life is extremely hectic right now and there is no way for us to get this out and ready before the move. Once we are all settled in, expect updates to the website to release more quickly. Until then, we apologize again for the inconvenience! See you all in a couple weeks!

Sims 4 Legacy Challenge Rules Tweak (and a RL update!)

Hi everyone! Pinstar and I hope you all had a fantastic holiday season.

I just wanted to let you all know that we added a rule tweak in regards to Legacy lots. The gameplay rules state that a family cannot move from the lot you move the founder onto and must live on that lot for the duration of the 10 generations. However, with the addition of the 64 x 64 lots in Windenburg in Sims 4 Get Together, we decided that you are allowed to move an already established Legacy family from a 50 x 50 lot onto one of the new 64 x 64 lots ONCE during the challenge. Once they move to the 64 x 64 lot, they are not allowed to move again. The FAQ and Gameplay Rules sections have both been updated to reflect this tweak.

Finally, I also wanted to give you all a brief update on real-life stuff. As some of you know, we are in the process of moving. Well we finally have a house and will be closing on it in mid-February. That’s less than two months away at this point! EEK! Given how busy we will be with the move, there will be less activity on the Legacy Challenge website. I will still try to post the Stories and Let’s Play Lists when I can, but expect their frequency to be decreased for now. Once we are moved and settled in (hopefully by the end of February), I will be getting back to weekly and possibly twice per week posts here 🙂

Have a great New Year everyone! Happy Simming!

Legacy Challenge Rules Updated for Get Together

Legacy Challenge Rules Updated for Get Together

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to let you know that the Legacy Challenge Rules have been updated for The Sims 4 Get Together. Here is a highlight of what the changes are and where to find them:

  • In the Getting Started section we have added in the optional Extreme Start
  • In the Scoring Section we have added the following changes:
    • The Nature Collection still maxes out at 13 completed collections even though there are now 16 possibilities. You now get to choose what 13 you wish to complete.
    • For the 10th Popularity point you now have the option of earning this by earning all possible Club Perks for your Legacy Club instead of earning a gold medal in all of the different party categories.
  • Legacy Clubs are completely optional and can be created at any time during the challenge. They have the benefit that if you choose to, you can use the Legacy Club Perks collection to finish up the Popularity category without getting a gold medal at the parties.
  • The New Extreme Start Handicap has been added to the Scoring section.

The Random Trait Generators have not yet been updated to include the new aspiration and two new traits, but should be updated soon!

Want to see how we came up with these new rules? Check out my Preview & Playtesting series on my Youtube channel!

Finally… we have a surprise for you guys! You’re going to want to check out the website around 10 am EST tomorrow to see what it is!

Hi everyone! As most of you know, The Sims 4 Get Together releases tomorrow! I hope you all are as excited as I am to check out the newest expansion to the game!

Pinstar and I were fortunate enough to receive an early access copy of the game from EA which gave us a chance to check out, playtest, and preview the expansion so that we can see what changes and additions we need to make to the Legacy Challenge Rules.

I decided to record my playtesting of the expansion for my Youtube channel so that you all could see some of the ideas that we have for upcoming rule changes and additions. You can watch that video below or directly on Youtube.

Rules for the Legacy Challenge will be updated within the next few days as we finalizing our playtesting of the expansion. Our current planned additions and changes include:

  • Club Perks will be added to the collections section in Scoring
  • The new aspiration and two new traits will be added to the Random Trait Generators
  • The option to have a “Legacy Club” that persists through all 10 generations will be added to the rules
  • An extreme start on the new 64 x 64 lots will be added as an option for extra points
  • The new skills will be added to the Knowledge section of Scoring
