The Positivity Challenge and Our Challenges

We’ve been getting a few questions about the current in-game challenge in The Sims 4 called “The Positivity Challenge” and if it was allowed while playing our challenges. I wanted to give you all a general rundown of where this challenge will be allowed and where it won’t be. So here we go!

The Positivity Challenge is an official challenge for The Sims 4 and is running from November 13th to December 4th. For more information on how to participate you can get information in-game or by checking out the official Sims website.

The Sims 4 Get Famous Announced!

Hello everyone! Simmers received some exciting news from EA/Maxis this morning with the announcement of a brand-new upcoming expansion pack for The Sims 4 called The Sims 4 Get Famous. It looks like this will be The Sims 4’s version of Superstar from The Sims 1 and Showtime from The Sims 3.

Not much is known about the expansion yet except that there will be a new world to explore as well as a new career (actor) that your Sims can join. As for how this expansion will affect the Legacy Challenge rules, we don’t know the exact details yet, but I will be making sure to keep you posted with a variety of posts over the next few weeks.

This newest expansion will release on November 16th. You can preorder it on the Sims website.

The Sims 4 is Coming to Consoles This November!

EA and The Sims announced today that The Sims 4 will be coming to the Playstation 4 and Xbox One consoles on November 17, 2017!

In the announcement, The Sims stated: “Since our initial launch on PC, we have made several updates to the base game, ranging from the addition of Ghosts, Pools, New Careers, to the world of Newcrest, to give your Sims space to continue to grow; overhauled the Create a Sim tool, to provide expanded gender customization options; and most recently, added Toddlers as a new playable life state! All of these great updates will be available to players at launch when you play The Sims 4 on console.”

So it sounds like all of the free updates that we have received to the game since the PC launch in 2014 will be made available to console players from the start. If you are a console gamer and want to play the Sims, now is your chance!

Hello everyone! I hope you’re having a great weekend so far!

In other news, we are hoping to release our newest Sims 4 Challenge tomorrow! So keep an eye out for that!

Finally, I have decided to bring back Eat Like a Sim recipes (real life recipes based on food found in the Sims games)! I am in the process of transferring the previously written recipes back onto this site from my old video game food blog. Once that is done, expect to see new recipes here!

Website Updates and the Random Trait Generator

Website Updates and the Random Trait Generator

Hey everyone!

There have been several questions over the last couple of days about when we will be adding the “Jealousy” trait to the Random Trait Generator.

We are aware that the Random Trait Generator needs to be updated, however I do need to let you all know that it might be a while.

Pinstar recently started a new full time job in another state which requires us to move. There is a lot that needs to get done in real life in the meantime for the move to happen. We need to sell our old house, find a new house, and find a new school for our kids. Pinstar is already working at the new job which leaves me to work on all of the Sims website stuff on top of handling all of the real-life move related stuff and, most importantly, taking care of our two little boys.

We do not update the Random Trait Generator ourselves. We are not adept at programming and had a friend of Brian’s help us with it. I will email him today letting him know about the updates to the generator, but it might take a week or so before you will all see the changes to it.

I apologize for the slowness of the website updates lately, but real life comes first. We will try to make the changes as we can. I will also be trying to finish up the website renovations as soon as I can. Thanks for your patience everyone!

New Gaming Website!

Hey everyone! Pinstar and I just wanted to make a brief announcement that we have started a new general gaming website that will cover reviews, news, previews, interviews etc throughout the entire gaming sphere (not just Sims). There isn’t much there yet, but we are working on adding new content every day!

Before you worry, no, we are not abandoning The Sims Legacy Challenge website. This website will continue to run and be updated as per usual! We will be running both.
