Updates for Island Living

Now that The Sims 4 Island Living * has been released there are some updates to the Legacy Challenge that I wanted to mention.

First off, the Random Trait Generator has been updated to include the two new traits (Child of the Islands and Child of the Ocean). As always if you do not have a particular expansion pack and roll one of its traits, simply roll again.

We are NOT adding the new Aspiration (Beach Life) to the trait generator as it is a location based aspiration and will not work with the Legacy rules.

The new “Off the Grid” lot trait can be used as you see fit just like all other lot traits. This one might add a fun layer of difficulty to the Legacy Challenge that we haven’t seen before. We are not, however, making any official rules for it at this time.

Finally, several of you have been asking if you can use the new in-game trait/aspiration generator for the Legacy Challenge and the answer is yes. However, keep in mind that our trait generator factors in the traits of the parents when randomizing the traits. I don’t believe (though I could be wrong) that the game’s version will do that. We will leave it up to you on which one you want to use. Our trait generator will remain active and updated for each new pack. For those of you that prefer it.

The Fantasy Legacy #71 – Building a Greenhouse

It’s time to build a greenhouse for H’aanit’s new gardening obsession. I also decide to check out the new Freelancer career with Imane.

The Fantasy Legacy #70 – Mentoring Confusion

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get Morrigan to mentor her family members. I even looked it up online. What am I doing wrong?

The Fantasy Legacy #68 – Pool Protection & Garden Prep

It just occurred to me that the hot tub was constantly breaking because it was getting struck by lightning, so I decided to put a roof over the pool and hot tub. Hopefully that fixes the problem. It’s also high time that this family has a garden. Let’s get to work on that!

The Fantasy Legacy #67 – Trying for Baby #2

Now that Kelsier is close to becoming a child, it’s time for H’aanit and Imane to start trying for the second baby. We won’t be stopping there though. Especially with Imane’s Big Happy Family aspiration.

Trait Generators Updated for Strangerville (& other updates)

Hello everyone! Sorry for the delay in getting these updates out for the Strangerville release. We’ve been super busy over here.

The Random Trait Generators have been updated to include the new trait (only the one that can be selected in CAS, not the others obtained by playing the game) and aspiration.

As always if you do not own this pack, you can simply reroll to get a new trait/aspiration if you need to.

Furthermore, we do not currently have any plans to update the rules in any way for Strangerville (beyond adding the trait/aspiration to the generators) as we do not currently own the pack and therefore can’t playtest anything. This may change if/when we decide to get the pack, but I am not sure this pack really lends itself to Legacy gameplay. We’ll see!

Finally, I know several of you have been asking if we are planning to do a rule/scoring overhaul as a lot of the point requirements are extremely difficult (some almost impossible) to obtain with all of the new packs added. And the answer is YES, we do still plan to update this, we just haven’t had the time lately. We are going to try our best to do that this coming weekend!

Stay tuned for those updates!

Good grief, this episode is an emotional roller coaster. I hope you are ready!

The Fantasy Legacy #60 – So Long, Primrose!

Just because we kept Amren in the household, doesn’t mean we need to keep Primrose around after she ages into a Young Adult. I think it’s time to move her out. And I have the perfect place to move her to…

The Fantasy Legacy #59 – Amren’s Final Promotion

I’m really glad I kept Amren in the household. As a spare I could have sent her off at any time, but she really has been a huge asset to the family. Not only has she helped raise her nieces, but she provided quite a nice income as well.
