Get Famous Aspirations Added to the Random Trait Generators

Hello everyone! Over the course of the next week or two Pinstar and I will be updating some of our challenges for the new expansion pack, Get Famous. Currently we are still working on playtesting many aspects of the new expansion, so we don’t have any solid gameplay rule changes/updates yet. However, I did update the Random Trait Generators to include the two newest aspirations added in this pack, “Master Actor/Actress” and “World-Famous Celebrity”. So it is now possible to randomly get those aspirations when using the generators.

As always, if you do not own this pack, you can re-roll to get a different aspiration.

UPDATE: I just realized there was a new trait added as well (I need more caffeine today… I completely missed it at first) so that too has been added to the Random Trait Generators!

I will be keeping you all posted for any and all updates that we make to our challenges over the next several days, so stay tuned!

Help Us Decide December’s Sim of the Month Challenge!

Hello everyone! Pinstar and I have been trying to figure out what to do for December’s Sim of the Month Challenge. We have two ways we can go, and we’d like to get community feedback to help us decide!

Since Get Famous is releasing in a few days we could do a challenge that is related to the new pack (not sure what yet, but it would definitely involve the new fame system that is being added).

Alternatively we could do a holiday themed challenge (again unsure of the details, but it would be festive!).

Let us know which you prefer by voting on the poll below! We’d love to hear what you think! This poll with run until midnight EST on November 25th! (one vote per person, please!)[yop_poll id=”1″]

The Return of The Sim of the Month Challenge!

We have some exciting news for you all today!

If you have been following our challenges since The Sims 3 you may remember a series of monthly challenges based around different Sims. Well we decided to bring this challenge back for The Sims 4!

Starting this month you can attempt these challenges (with a new one posted monthly) and see what your score is. These are shorter challenges and perfect for people that aren’t able to keep up with The Legacy Challenge. All rules can be found on the Sim of The Month Challenge main page. Be sure to read all of the general rules there and then head to the page for the November 2018 Sim, Bryce Shy for rules specific to this month’s Sim. Be sure to link us to your videos/stories/streams of the challenge if you create them! We will be linking to these at the end of the month! You can also tweet us updates!

You do not have to play the Sim just this month. If you start late or want to try again at a later date the Sim will always be available on the gallery to play regardless of what month you play them on.

Good luck and have fun!

Mystic’s Legacy Challenge Family Update – October 2018

Hello everyone! I hope you all are having a fantastic weekend so far. I wanted to post an update about my fantasy-name themed Legacy family that I had previously been posting as a Let’s Play series on Youtube. If you saw my Twitter announcement, then you know that I am no longer posting videos on Youtube. However, I felt kind of bad just leaving the Legacy family unfinished, so I’ve been playing them a bit in my spare time and have been taking a few screenshots a long the way so that I can update you all every now and then on their progress. I’ve also been doing a really good job of keeping track of points using HillieE’s point tracker! I’ll make sure to try and keep you all posted on points as I go as well. This isn’t going to be a story per se, it will be more of just a casual update series. So, without further ado, let’s get into this update!

Adding/Updating New Content to the Website. Ideas needed!

Hi everyone! If you follow me on Twitter then you know that I have decided to discontinue my Youtube and Twitch channels indefinitely. Content creation on those two platforms just doesn’t work out for me with my already busy IRL schedule. However, now that I have made that decision that leaves me some extra time to work on the website again and I’d like to start adding new content here as well as making sure I keep up with the already existing content (something I haven’t always been great with in the past).

So I am wondering what you all would like to see added or updated on here? I am definitely considering starting up some written challenge series again (like what I did with the Sims 2 Legacy I was working on a year ago), but I’d like to add some new stuff as well. Also, are there any changes/updates to any of our currently existing challenges that you’d like to see? I know I’ve been getting questions about the Apocalypse Challenge, but Pinstar has decided not to continue updating that one (and we have a fellow Simmer currently working on updating the rules for that). However, I am willing to update any of the other challenges as needed. So please let me know your thoughts!

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 Money Tree in the Sims 4 Legacy Challenge

A few people have been asking whether the money tree aspiration reward from the Sims 4 Seasons expansion is allowed in the Legacy Challenge. Pinstar has decided to not allow the use of this aspiration reward as it can be extremely powerful (in that yours Sims can get a lot of simoleons easily). The rules have been updated to reflect this change. You can purchase the reward if you want, you just can’t use it (much like the elixer of life in Sims 2).

Thank you to those of you who have pointed this out to us. We actually hadn’t used the money tree yet and were unaware of this.
