Geneva went to bed exhausted the night before, so much so, that she never actually went to the bathroom. Now she’s about to pee herself. Whoops!

Featured Legacy of the Week – The Fondue & Orphan Legacies by Marz!

 

CheeseFondue

Marz’s Fondue founder, Cheese Fondue.

Welcome to another Featured Legacy of the Week! Each week we will randomly select someone from the pool of Simmers that sent in their Legacy’s info on our “Share Your Legacies with Us!” post. Those of you that haven’t sent in a Legacy yet are still more than welcome to do so. The more the merrier!

This week’s Featured Legacy of the Week is actually TWO Legacies by the same person, Marz. Marz has a cheese naming-themed Legacy called the Fondue Legacy and an “orphan” themed Legacy called the Orphan Legacy. The fondue Legacy is founded by Cheese Fondue and all of his descendants are named after types of cheeses. The Orphan Legacy is founded by Annie Orphan, and all descendants are named after famous orphans (such as Harry Potter). You can check out both Legacies at Marz’s blog. The Orphan Legacy was originally a livestream. All pre-recorded episodes of those can be found on her Youtube channel.

Now I think I need to go eat some cheese. Nom nom nom.

Eat Like a Sim – Sims 4 Signature Cake

When Pinstar celebrated his 32nd birthday I decided to make him a special birthday cake for the occasion!

The Sims game franchise has always been an integral part of our lives. He and I met through The Sims 2 back in 2005, so I thought that making him a Sims related birthday cake would be pretty fitting. Especially for the very first recipe that I post here. Seeing as the Sims 4 recently released, I thought it might be a good idea to find a cake recipe from the game that I could use. I was intrigued by the Sims 4 Signature Cake recipe. Continue reading →

What I learned from my failed Legacy…

Elrond Mortified

Those of you that follow me on Youtube and Twitter probably know by now that my Sims 4 Legacy Let’s Play series on Youtube has ended in failure. My heir, Elrond Fantasia, died of embarrassment after his girlfriend rejected his marriage proposal and I had no eligible spare to take his place. As bummed as I am about this new turn of events, I am also realizing that I have learned a lot from my mistakes in this Legacy.

Sims 4 Legacy Challenge FAQ!

Hi everyone! We’ve added a much needed FAQ page to the Sims 4 Legacy Challenge rules. You can find it on the drop down menu above located under “Sims 4 Legacy Challenge Rules”, or you can also view it here.

We compiled a list of questions that we feel were asked the most often, but it’s possible we missed a few important ones. If you have one that you’d like us to add to the page, please let us know here or in the comments section of the FAQ page.

Hopefully this will help alleviate some of the confusion surrounding the challenge!

The Europa Legacy – Chapter 1 – Meet Geneva

Hello everyone! If you follow my Let’s Plays on Youtube, then you may remember me saying that I wasn’t planning on doing a written Legacy for the Sims 4. Well, I’ve changed my mind (surprise, surprise). The thing is, I got my start in playing Legacy families back in Sims 2 as a story writer for them and I miss it. So, I decided to get back to my roots and start up a written Legacy to go along with the Fantasia Legacy Let’s Play, Animator Legacy Livestream, Saifai Legacy Let’s Play (Sims 3), and Retro Legacy (Sims 2). Holy cow that’s a lot of Legacies. And before you ask, yes, I am indeed insane! 🙂

Now then, let me introduce you to the founder of my newest Legacy:

10-01-14_3-56 PM

This is Geneva Europa. If you can’t tell by her name, I will be doing a European city naming theme for this Legacy (similar to my original Sims 2 written Legacy that I started on our old Legacy Challenge website). Say hi to everyone, Geneva!

Geneva: Huh? Who? What? Sorry was browsing the web. What did you say?

*sigh* We’re off to a good start.

"Cold" By tcc007

“Cold” By tcc007

With the point charts finally finalized, the only thing left to tackle was to rule on ghosts.

See our updated and revamped scoring page for more details.

 

Major Rule updates:

 

  • You may use the death flower to guarantee success when pleading with the reaper to save a dying Sim.
  • You may NOT use ambrosia to resurrect a dead Sim. (You may cook it and have living sims eat it if you wish)
  • You may invite ghost Sims back into your family. However, they no longer earn your Legacy family any Legacy Challenge points. They may not purchase potions of youth and any completed skills, aspirations, or other Legacy Challenge scoring methods do not count for them. They may not take a job. They cannot memorialize other Sims. If they were a member of the Legacy Challenge family.
  • Ghost Sims can still be memorialized but only by Sims that knew them in life.
  • An invited ghost who is no longer welcome may be moved out just like unwanted family members.
