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!

Solid Color Build Challenge – Purple

Hi everyone! I hope you all are having a wonderful week. During last week’s house build tour I asked about build challenges that you all recommend and several of you suggested the Solid Color Build Challenge. I decided to give that one a try and I had my community on Discord and Twitter vote on what color I should use. The winner was purple! So here is a tour of my very, VERY purple house. I’ll have a link to the gallery at the bottom of the post along with the necessary packs for it. Continue reading →

Spring-Themed House Tour

Hello everyone! It’s been a while since I posted a Sims 4 house build. I was actually inspired to start building again after watching Gitsie do some builds on her Twitch stream the other day. On top of that, I was also feeling the urge to see some flowers as I am getting awfully sick of winter and looking forward to spring, so I thought a spring-themed house build would be fun! This house is loaded with lots of flowers and spring colors. Click “continue reading” to see the full tour and get a link to the gallery page!
