The Money Tree in the Sims 4 Legacy Challenge

A few people have been asking whether the money tree aspiration reward from the Sims 4 Seasons expansion is allowed in the Legacy Challenge. Pinstar has decided to not allow the use of this aspiration reward as it can be extremely powerful (in that yours Sims can get a lot of simoleons easily). The rules have been updated to reflect this change. You can purchase the reward if you want, you just can’t use it (much like the elixer of life in Sims 2).

Thank you to those of you who have pointed this out to us. We actually hadn’t used the money tree yet and were unaware of this.

Legacy Rule Update & The Fantasy Legacy #22 – The Last Time We Ignore Baako

Hello everyone! This post is twofold. First, I wanted to let you know that there is a small update to the Legacy Challenge Gameplay Rules section. We have added a part to the Seasons section of the rules to say that Legacy Sims cannot participate in the Lottery random holiday as it will make the financial aspects of the game far too easy if they win.

The 2nd part of this post is to let you know that there is a new Fantasy Legacy episode up on my Youtube channel. You can either want it there, or by watching the embedded video below!

The Legacy Challenge Rules Have Been Updated for Seasons!

Hello everyone! We hope you all are having a great weekend. Pinstar and I were able to get the rules updated for the Legacy Challenge for Seasons a lot sooner than we thought we’d be able to!

Everything has been updated at this point. We have made changes to the following aspects of the challenge:

The Sims 4 Seasons & The Legacy Challenge

Hi everyone! I just wanted to make a quick post here as I know you all have been asking about whether we will be updating the Legacy Challenge rules for The Sims 4 Seasons. The answer is absolutely yes! We do plan on updating the rules for Seasons, however it might take a couple of weeks of playtesting before we know exactly what we are going to be changing. We don’t have a copy of the game yet (but have it pre-ordered and will have it downloaded for tomorrow morning) so we don’t know for sure yet what we are changing, but we will keep you all posted!

I will also be using my Fantasy Legacy Let’s Play series to test things out as well, so for the next couple of weeks, expect the episodes to include me testing things out with the Legacy family to see how things work.

As for our other challenges, we aren’t sure what, if any changes will be made at the moment. But the Legacy Challenge will take priority.

Thanks for your patience! We’ll try to roll out the new rules as fast as we can!

New Legacy Challenge Let’s Play Series!

Hello everyone! I’m finally back to recording Sims 4 videos! It’s been a while since I’ve done this and I’m super excited to share my all new Legacy Challenge series with you!

I won’t be publishing videos too often (once or twice a week for now due to real-life hecticness) but I am super excited to get started with this new series. This playthrough will use all of the houses from my #LegacyHouseBuilds project so that you can see them in action. There will be a Fantasy novel naming theme and I am going to try my hardest to track points so you can see how well I do!

There are two ways to watch this new series! You can either watch it directly from this post (by clicking play on the player below) or you can watch it on my Youtube channel!

Two New #LegacyHouseBuilds Up on the Gallery

Hi everyone! I just wanted to let you know that there are TWO new houses up for the Legacy House Build Project! There is a §30,000 and a §50,000 house available for download on the Gallery now! You can find them by search either for EA ID Pinstar1161 or the hashtag #LegacyHouseBuilds.

Both houses come equipped with almost all skill building items and have lots of space for growing families. The 50K house should last your family for quite a while as it has a ton of space and room to grow. I don’t plan on making another house until 100K, so it should be good until then!

Introducing the Legacy House Build Project!

Hi everyone! I mentioned last week that I was starting to work on a Legacy House Build Project for people that enjoy playing the Legacy Challenge (or other similar challenges) for the Sims 4 but don’t like building houses. I am going through and building houses for various stages of the Legacy Challenge. There will be lawn living lots, early starters, later starters, mid-range houses, and mansions. I’ll also be building houses that will help your Sims skill up certain skills faster.

I currently have three houses available for download on the Gallery. None require packs at the moment (I will make sure to note if future houses need packs). You can check them out on the Legacy House Builds page.

This page has been linked under both “Sims 4 Legacy Challenge Rules” and “House Builds & Tours” on the menu of this website for easy access!

More houses to come soon!

What items do you feel are absolute necessities when starting a Legacy Challenge?

Hello everyone! I have decided to start up a new House Build series that focuses on building and designing houses around various stages of the Legacy Challenge (beginning, middle, and end). I thought it would be nice to supply a bunch of pre-built houses for those of you who enjoy the Legacy Challenge, but don’t necessarily enjoy building. I’ll be making starter houses, mid-range houses (for when your Sims have money to afford more stuff), and also a few mansions. I’ll also be making sure to include houses that will help your Sims finish off their aspirations.

I’m currently in the process of building some starter houses and I’m wondering… what items do you consider absolute necessities (items your Sims can’t live without) at the very beginning of the challenge? I want to make sure to include as many necessities in the starter house as possible! I will not be using items from any packs (just the base game), at least for starter houses (I will for houses that help meet certain aspirations later on though).

Let me know in the comments below what items you consider necessities! This will really help me decide what to put into the starter houses as money is extremely limited!

The Legacy Challenge Rules have been updated to include all current packs!

Hi everyone! As promised, Pinstar and I looked through the Legacy Challenge rules and updated/added/changed a few things to reflect changes and additions in the current packs. We didn’t make any MAJOR changes to the challenge but here is a list of the things updated:

  • We reworded the Parenthood section of the Scoring page as it was causing some confusion in the way it was written previously.
  • We have changed the collections part of the Nature section of the scoring page to say 13 out of 26 possible collections. You will not need to collect everything in all 26 categories. Just 13 (which was the original number). 13 will continue to be the set number for collections regardless of how many new collections are added to the game.
  • We have updated the Popularity section of the Scoring page to include toddler playdates if you have the Toddler Stuff Pack
  • We will not be updating the rules to include adopting or breeding pets as they take up a slot that will otherwise be used by a Legacy Sim.
  • Gameplay Rules have had a few minor tweaks and additions
  • The Fortune section of the Scoring page was updated to include veterinary clinic funds in the total household net worth (just like family owned businesses would be)
  • The FAQ has been updated to include the question about pets since that is a common question we are asked.
  • The Random Trait Generators were updated on Thursday to include the new aspirations from Jungle Adventure Pack

If you have any questions about these updates/changes please let us know in the comments below!

Random Trait Generator Updated for The Sims 4 Jungle Adventure Pack

With the release of The Sims 4 Jungle Adventure Game Pack yesterday, we have updated our Random Trait Generators to include the two new aspirations added in this pack. The new aspirations are Jungle Explorer and Archaeology Scholar.

Along with the updates to the trait generator, Pinstar and I will be sitting down and figuring out what changes and updates we need to make to the Legacy Challenge with the addition of a few of these new packs (including Cats & Dogs). We are going to try and has this out this upcoming weekend and will be making updates as needed. I’ll keep you posted on any updates and changes that we make.

Is there anything specific that you’d like to see changed or updated? Let us know in the comments below and we’ll discuss it!
