Hey everyone! Our super awesome tech guru did a major update to our trait generator last night and hopefully it is working as intended now.
First off, adult aspirations are now generated for teens instead of adults.
Secondly, the bug that was preventing parents from having certain traits has been fixed.
Finally, we added a SECOND generator to the site, this one will give you all traits and aspirations at once (like the generator used to do). Several people had requested it back, so, ask and you shall receive. Both generators can be found on the menu above. The new generator is called “Sims 4 Legacy Challenge Random Trait Generator (All traits at once).”
Here are the links to both generators:
Sims 4 Legacy Challenge Random Trait Generator (1 trait/aspiration at a time)
Sims 4 Legacy Challenge Random Trait Generator (All Traits at Once)
Only thing I could now wish for is that I either somehow could have it remember my traits for my parents, even though I close the side.
Or that I could generate it without having to paste the parents traits.
The reason for adding the parent’s traits is so that there is a chance that some of the traits get passed down to the child.
Nicely done. Thanks so much for all the hard work.
I know this isnt related to the trait generator, but i just thought i would post my question here as this was the most recent post. I absolutely love this challenge, it has the sims 2 legacy challenge feel to it, and it makes the playing the sims 4 SO much fun.
But… I was saddened to find that once we move our children out of the house we are not able to ever play them because of both the way sims 4 is set up and with the challenge not allowing a switch out of the active household. Of course to add to my dismay, there is no story progression so once they move out, no children are born, no marriages occur. The sims just die off. I love to write detailed realistic stories and this is such a bummer to me that i cant play out the stories in my mind with little cousins and a close knit family growing and changing together. I used to relish the moment when my spares aged up in sims 2 so i could start on my rotational play, build them a house and a life and have a ‘break’ from the rules and the main family…. and now along with SO many things in sims 4, this too is now not possible.
I was wondering if you would reconsider changing these rules, as when you switch active houses and keep aging off -nothing happens to the houses that are not being played at that moment… so nothing would even happen in the main legacy house. It would be like pressing pause. I dont see what harm could possibly come by allowing this. It just really makes the game feel so one dimensional, predictable and tedious after awhile…. like its missing the big family feeling that i adore.
And i know i could move in a sim and have my sim spares pop out a few kids, but there just isnt ever enough room- Currently in my game I have grandma and grandpa – and i even have great grandma and grandpa, plus a set of parents and 2 kids waiting for great granny to croak so they can add a third, there is just no room to ever add a spouse and then a child for one of my spares. : (
My suggestion with kids is to impregnate the spare’s spouse, (or have the spouse impregnate the heir) before moving them out of the house. At the very lest, story progression will track the pregnancy and produce the child(ren) and age them appropriately. They won’t have more on their own, but that’s the best we have to work with at the moment.
A question about the generator… Does it matter in what order you enter the parents’ traits? I typically enter them alphabetically, just so I start at the top of the drop-down list, but that doesn’t necessarily correspond to the order they’re on the sim itself. Not sure if it matters – if it doesn’t, I’ll just keep going as I’ve done so far.
Thanks.
No it doesn’t matter which order you enter the parents’ traits 🙂
Oh good! I was worried if you had the same trait in the same stage (both clumsy as adult) it would weight that more heavily for the child’s adult trait. Thanks!
