Complete overhaul of the Sims 4 Legacy Rules Scoring section!

Pinstar and I have completely overhauled the Sims 4 Legacy Challenge Rules Scoring section! It is now laid out in an easier to read bulletpoint format so that you can see exactly how the points are laid out. A few changes were also made to some of the categories after finding issues with them and listening to feedback.

Pinstar has also finalized the point distribution for all categories! Now that that is done, expect an official scoresheet soon!

Legacy Challenge Rules Update 0.96

Parker Masque might be gone, but he's not forgotten.

Parker Masque might be gone, but he’s not forgotten.

Hello everyone, below you will find the following changes to the Legacy Challenge Rules:

A new concept is being introduced. The first spouse brought into the house each generation (once that generation’s heir reaches young adulthood) is known as the “Primary Spouse” The distinction of “Primary Spouse” does NOT mean the spouse HAS to be the sim who helps bring about the next generation. The “Primary Spouse” distinction is, however, important for two scoring categories.

In the “Love” category, determining which spouse’s traits to consider for collecting unique traits only looks at “Primary Spouses” even if more spouses are moved in later in a generation and/or are used to produce the next generation. Any spouses moved in AFTER the primary spouse are ignored for the purposes of the love category.

When using the trait calculator to determine a new child’s traits, the ‘secondary parent’ section is whoever was involved in the child’s birth or adoption. Weather they are a Primary or secondary spouse doesn’t matter always use that child’s actual parent when using the trait calculator (whether it be a primary spouse, secondary spouse, non-spouse etc)

A rule change for the Creative category has also been implemented. In order to earn points in the creative category, only the Founder/Heir and their primary spouse have to be memorialized in each generation to earn that generation’s point. There is no rule against memorializing spares and secondary spouses, but they are optional for the purpose of the creative point.

A Sim may be memorialized at any time, even after their death. However the person doing the memorial work must have known the Sim being memorialized in life at some point (They don’t have to have been friends with them, just have met them at least once)

Major updates to the Random Trait Generator are now live!

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)

A few updates

Hi everyone, just wanted to let you know of a few updates.

  • Most important of which is a fix to the Random Trait Generator that was preventing you from choosing a teenager trait to roll an adult. That has been fixed. You can now click the blue plus sign next to “Child Trait” to add a Teenager trait.
  • Since we’ve been getting a lot of questions regarding the trait generator, I have added some instructions to the top. You will notice that the Adult/Teen aspiration is showing up only under adults for the moment, which means that it won’t show up when you roll for a teenager. That is being fixed. In the meantime, just put in a dummy teen trait in order to get an adult aspiration for your Sim. I’ll post once that gets fixed.
  • Finally, I fixed a typo in the rule changes that made it sound like in order to get the Creativity point you had to do ALL of the creative dedications per Sim. You don’t. Choose one (painting, music, comedy routine, biography) per Sim.
