Latest Sims 4 Update Adds Genealogy and Family Trees!

TS4_440_GENEALOGY_1k_WhiteThis week marks the 15 year anniversary of The Sims franchise and to commemorate that achievement EA and Maxis are giving us lots of cool gifts to celebrate! Most importantly for Legacy Players, the game now includes Genealogy and Family Trees, something that we know many of you have been requesting for quite some time now! So rejoice! You can now view family trees.

MinervaFamilyTreeA word of caution though, you may want to back up your save files before updating. It seems that this update has caused some save files to revert to previous saves. That’s not something that you want to happen in your Legacy Family!

This newest update also includes new Valentine’s themed clothing and items. For more information, check out the full news post at the official Sims 4 website!

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!

Sims 4 Career Top 3 Charts

business careerWith 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.

Merry Christmas from The Sims Legacy Challenge! We Have a Present For You!

12-24-14_4-30 PMHello 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!
