Hello and welcome to Chapter 5 of the Europa Legacy! If you haven’t read the previous chapters, they can be found here.
In the last chapter, Geneva and Graham tied the knot after dating for a couple of days. Now I think it’s high time to start working on getting generation 2 started!
Geneva: So… you wanna?
Graham: Teehee!

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 is the Melodia Legacy by JudeSims. This is a written Legacy and is currently up to chapter four. JudeSims had to recently restart due to a corruption causing them to be unable to play their previous Legacy. Luckily that hasn’t stopped JudeSims from writing!
Happy Simming!
With the introduction of two new Sims 4 careers and the rebalancing of the existing ones. I took some time to do some deep analysis of the new career landscape. Many of the nitty gritty details of the careers can be found on the Career guide I wrote for SimsVIP right here.
However, while I was writing up the guide for the trees, I began to notice some things. If you take a step back and look at all the careers, side by side, you start to see patterns. It was from this further analysis that I present to you my guide to the Sims 4 Top 3 Charts! I will give you the top three career/branches for each category. Some of the choices are based purely on hard data, others have some subjective components to them. Without any further ado. Here are the Sims 4 Career Top 3 Charts! Note that all of these rankings are based on reaching the top level in that given career/branch.
Hello everyone! We hope you all have an amazing holiday season! We just wanted to take a moment and thank you all for the amazing support that you showed Pinstar and I this year. We had a bit of a rough year in real life, but being able to interact with all of you and share our love of Sims with you has been amazing and has helped us get through the tough times.
As a bit of a Christmas present we wanted to let you in on a little (ok, it’s not really that little) secret project that Pinstar has been working on. He is working on bringing the popular Apocalypse Challenge from the Sims 2 over to the Sims 4! We know a lot of you have been clamoring for this challenge since The Sims 4 was released. This challenge is huge in scope, moreso than even the Legacy Challenge, so it takes some time to get written up and playtested, but it SHOULD be up in the next month or two. So keep and eye out, I will try to update you on Pinstar’s progress with it when I can!
In the meantime, if you want to play the Apocalypse Challenge for the Sims 2, check out the rules here.
As an aside, if you don’t already own the Sims 4, it is currently on sale on Amazon for $20 off the regular retail price. So get it while you can!
Happy Chrismahanakwaanzaka! Here are some updates and rulings for the Legacy Challenge in response to the changes made in both the November and December patches.
A lovely teaser shot of the upcoming world, Granite Falls.
With the recent announcement of the upcoming Outdoor Retreat game pack coming to the Sims 4, you might be wondering how the Legacy Challenge will fit into the game changes as they are released.
During the Sims 2 days, Pinstar worked hard to bring updates to the Legacy Challenge as the updates to the game came out. We were unable to keep up with that in The Sims 3 due to real life demands, but we are hoping to be as active with the Sims 4 and its game updates as we were with The Sims 2.
We will be trying to implement challenge changes within a couple of weeks of the game being updated, but it may take time to playtest all of the changes.
As for the upcoming game pack, not much is known about what it will add to the game, so we can’t say for sure how it will affect the challenge, but we will keep you posted as we learn new information and HOPEFULLY give you an idea of some of the changes that will be made to the Legacy Challenge to accommodate it!
What do you all think the new game pack will include? We’d love to hear your speculations!
Hello and welcome to Chapter 4 of the Europa Legacy! If you haven’t read the previous chapters, they can be found here.
Sorry for the lack of updates with this family lately everyone! Let’s just say I went a bit insane with YouTube and ended up burning out a bit. So, I’m back to writing for a while because if I have to look at my video editing software for another minute I’m going to need a straight jacket.
*clears throat* Aaaaaaanyway, back to the topic at hand! The Europa Legacy! In the last chapter, Geneva met a rather handsome man by the name of SimGuruGraham. For those of you who were wondering if moving Graham into the family was Legacy legal… it is. I downloaded him from the gallery in a family of other Gurus (just like I would have if he were a #LegacyLove) and didn’t know his traits beforehand, so he’s fair game!
Geneva: So umm… reading together was… fun. But I was wondering, would you be interested in… going out for a drink or something?
Graham: Sure, that would be fun!
Geneva: Ok, great!
Hey everyone! Just a quick little post to let you know that an update to the Legacy Challenge rules will be coming soon to include the changes made to the game in the December patch. This patch had a much bigger change to the game the the previous two, so Pinstar is working on playtesting a few things to see how they will tie into the changes of the challenge.
For the most part, the changes probably won’t be huge, so don’t worry about pausing your Legacies until you hear from him, at most it may just change some point values in the Nature section. I am going to guess that using the given vacation days will be allowed (seeing as that has always been the case in the past), so I would say use those as you see fit as well.
Also, feel free to use the “Move Objects On” cheat to your heart’s desire. A build mode cheat such as that will not affect gameplay and is therefore allowed in the Legacy Challenge as it always has been.
The wait is over Business and athletic careers are here! (Along with the Move_Objects cheat and a whole ton of new stuff.) Look at that infographic (Provided Courtesy of EA). Pretty informative! Or is it? The simmer in me is not content with merely the titles. I want to see more! How much does each level make? What are the promotion requirements? What is the salary like? What are the rewards? How are the different branches unique?
If you are asking the same question then you are in luck! Tonight at 8PM Eastern Standard time I will be streaming The Sims 4 on my Twitch.tv account with the specific intent of exploring all the details of each level of each of these new careers, and each of the branches! Come join in the fun, hang out and learn the juicy details of these new jobs along with me!
You can find my stream here
Missed the stream? No worries! A recording of my stream will be posted on my Youtube channel the next day.
An update to the Legacy Challenge rules will be coming within the week.
No changes to the Wonder Child Challenge rules will be caused by this update.
Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you all know about an awesome event going on in the Official Sims Forums right now, The Story of the Month Club!
What is the Story of the Month Club, you ask? Well within the Sims Forums there is a section called “The Sims 4 Stories and Legacies” where Sims 4 story writers and challenge creators can share their work with others. There are tons of amazing writers there and The Sims is highlighting several of them in the Story of the Month Club.
In order to be featured in the Story of the Month club, writers are first nominated by others, then people vote on their favorite story for that month. The stories aren’t all Legacy stories, but a good many of them are. Check it out and make sure you vote for you favorites! A link to all of the nominated stories is found within the Story of the Month post.
