It’s finally time for Pinstar and me to update our Sims 4 Legacy Challenge rules and to do that, I need to do some playtesting! I thought it would be fun to make this into a Youtube series so that you all can post suggestions and questions as we go!
The Sims 4
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!
Introducing The Movin’ On Up Legacy Challenge
Have you ever wanted to combine the Movin’ On Up Challenge with the Legacy Challenge? Well now you can with this new combo challenge, The Movin’ On Up Legacy Challenge! Good luck and let us know how you do!
Mystic will be starting a Let’s Play series of this challenge on her Youtube channel soon, so keep an eye out!
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!

Planning Legacy Guides for Sims 4 Free to Play

Hello everyone! With the announcement of The Sims 4 going free to play on October 18, I wanted to start working on some Legacy Challenge related guides to post on the website. I have a list of guides that I want to post, but I would love your input on whether I should add others!
Here is what I have so far:
- How to start a Legacy Challenge in the Sims 4
- How to make money early on in the Legacy Challenge
- Finding a spouse
- Succession laws ranked by difficulty and which to choose
- Building Legacy Houses
- All packs ranked for how they work with the Legacy Challenge
Let me know what you think in the comments below!
Teen Aspirations & The Trait Generators
I have made a change to how the Random Trait Generators and the Legacy Challenge Rules work for the Sims 4. Since Teens can now roll for Aspirations that also include teen-specific aspirations along with the original aspirations from previous packs, it made sense to change the wording on when to roll for aspirations.
When a child becomes a teenager, roll for the teenager aspiration (ignore what the adult aspiration says for the moment) and go with whatever is assigned. If your teenager is able to complete their aspiration before adulthood, then you can either choose to go with a randomly generated adult aspiration from the generator next (to add some more randomness to your challenge) or do what has been done in the past and choose the next one. It’s up to you!
The rules have also been reworded to reflect this.

The Sims 4 Legacy Challenge Let’s Play 84 – Imane’s Star Rises Further
Imane has really made a name for herself as an author. People around town know who she is now and that means not even being able to take the dog to the vet without having people fawn over her.
