Random Trait Generator update!

The Sims 4 Legacy Challenge Random Trait Generator has been updated today. The updates are as follows:

The traits of the two parents are no longer locked with child/teen/adult trait levels, meaning that you can now freely populate traits in all three slots. For some of you who had founders with no child-friendly traits, you should now be able to correctly plug your founder into the calculator.

Next update: Adding a “Generate only one life stage” mode to the calculator, letting you only generate a child trait/aspiration, a teen trait/ adult aspiration or the third adult trait one at a time so you don’t spoil what all the traits are going to be when you do your initial generation, or worry about forgetting with the later traits were.

A larger potential change to the spouse rules – we need your feedback!

 

 

Having unearthed some more information about how the family management tool works, detailed in this video. I made a small change to the rules that won’t negatively impact anyone’s Legacy Challenge. However, a more drastic change possibility has presented itself, but I’d like to see what everyone thinks before I make any bigger rule changes. Continue reading →

Early Access Stream of the Sims 4!

masquefamilyI have the good fortune of getting the Sims 4 one day early and want to share that fortune with all of you! Come visit me on my twitch page (www.twitch.tv/Pinstar) and join in the fun as I continue the Masque family you’ve read so much about. This isn’t my formal play-through of the Legacy Challenge, merely a continuation of what I started at Creator’s Camp. My planned start time is 12PM EST but there are a lot of variables that might delay that. BUT expect to see some streaming goodness from me today one way or another. Keep an eye on my twitter feed (@Pinstar) for more specific information.

The Sims 4 Creator’s Camp: Strategy & Tactics

For those of you with a ‘play to win’ approach to playing the Sims or for those of you looking to get a little jump start on your families and like to see your families doing well, I present to you a quick Strategy & Tactics article based on my experiences in Creator’s Camp. This is by no means a comprehensive guide. In fact, you’ll notice most of these are “Learn from my fail” style tips. While I am a veteran of the Sims franchise back to the original, I still had a lot to learn when I picked up the Sims 4.

Legacy Challenge Rules Teaser: Succession Laws

Two children, but who will be the heir of the 2nd generation?

Two children, but who will be the heir of the 2nd generation?

In a previous post, I made a poll asking the community to weigh in on how I should handle the question of ‘who becomes heir’. With a little bit of variation, the results have become crystal clear and pretty much maintained these ratios since day 2 of the poll.

With over a thousand responses, here is how the results were distributed.

Sims 4 Creators Camp: Paintings, Decorations, and Mood Auras

rewardobject

Of the six motive bars present in the Sims 4 (hunger, bladder, energy, fun, hygiene, and social) environment is absent. This is nothing new, as the environment bar was absent in the Sims 3 as well. In the Sims 3, the environment bar was replaced with moodlets. If your Sim was in an area with lots of decorations, they’d get a positive moodlet, and if they were in a pig sty with lots of dirty objects, they’d get a negative moodlet. The Sims 4 incorporates environment-as-moodlets in a similar manner, but gives the whole system some major enhancements along the way.
