100K #LegacyHouseBuilds House Tour

Hello everyone! As promised, I have a full tour of the ~§100,000 Legacy House for the #LegacyHouseBuilds Project for you today. I’m extremely pleased with how this house came out as it is a Victorian style house which I had been wanting to build for ages, but hadn’t been able to without octagonal roofs. Now that those are in the game, I was finally able to do this! As always, I kept the interior decor fairly neutral. You are welcome to redecorate it however you wish. I will not be showing the bathrooms as it’s always difficult to get a good picture of such a small room, but the rest of the rooms will be included in this tour.

Not only is this house a large improvement in size and space from the 50K house, it also accomplishes Tier 2 of the Mansion Baron aspiration. So if you have any Sims with that aspiration you will be able to meet the tier 2 goal with this house. Now, onto the tour!

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!

§100K Legacy House added to the #LegacyHouseBuilds Project!

Hey everyone! Just making a quick post to let you know that the new §100,000 house is now up on the gallery for the #LegacyHouseBuilds Project!

This house is a massive improvement from the §50,000 house. It includes 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, skill up rooms (that you can improve with emotion items), and even includes all of the landscaping necessary for Tier 2 of the Mansion Baron aspiration!

I will be posting a full photo tour of the house later in the week and hopefully a video tour as well!

#LegacyHouseBuilds – Mansion Baron Tier 1 House Tour

Hello everyone! I have been busy making houses for the #LegacyHouseBuilds hashtag on the Sims 4 Gallery. Today’s house is the house that you will need to complete the first tier of the Mansion Baron aspiration. This house is also a solid option for a ~§50,000 Legacy house as it has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, plenty of space, and lots of skill up items. So if you have a Legacy Sim with the Mansion Baron Aspiration this is the house that you will need for the first tier, which is to have a house worth §50,000 as well 15 works of art. Below is a tour of the house!

Community Poll – Should Items from Packs Be Used in #LegacyHouseBuilds Houses?

Hi everyone! I have a curiosity question for those of you that are using the #LegacyHouseBuilds houses that I have been posting on the Sims 4 Gallery. At this point in time, I am only using items from the base game. But I am finding that this is really limiting my creativity with the houses.

Would anyone have a problem with me adding in items from packs (expansions, game packs, and stuff packs?)? I know a lot of people have a good majority of the packs, but I haven’t wanted to exclude anyone with the builds that I’ve done.

If the majority of you vote for me to include packs, then I will start doing that.

You can vote at https://www.strawpoll.me/15345055

Thanks!

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!
