The challenge ends the moment generation 10 is born.įounder: The sim you create in CAS who starts the family. Your founder is generation 1, your founder’s son/daughter would be generation 2, the grandchildren of the founder would be generation 3 and so on. Generation: Order of birth in relation to the family at large. If you wish to add members, they must be done in game. No sims/families may ever be merged into the Legacy family. You are allowed to create/download/import sims and families into your Legacy neighborhood, they just cannot join the family. Sims that are identified by your sim as “Rich” are now fair game for all sims except your founder.Īll other sims are fair game. Sims that had previously lived in the Legacy household but had since moved out Sims/households downloaded and imported from the exchange Any sim may be moved into the Legacy Family via marriage or move-in except for the following: Kleptos, rummagers and theives are now allowed to liquidate their ill gotten goods for cash. You may gather and sell them, but cannot be used to ward off deathīlack Market Restriction: The Black Market is no longer being monitored by police. Death Flowers may not be kept in inventory. You do not have to use the birthday cake to age sims up, you can wait for the game to force the age transition if you wish. You may age sims up via the birthday cake only once the game prompts you with a reminder of their impending birthday, not earlier. Sims may not consume life fruit to gain extra days to their lifespan. You may not ressurect dead sims via the Science lab. Nor may ambrosia be used to resurrect ghosts. No Ambrosia! Your sims may learn the recipe for Ambrosia, but may not cook or consume the dish. If you want to take a break from Legacy play, it is recommended you play in another saved game slot. You may never switch the active household to another family. The Legacy family must be the “Active Household” during the entire challenge.
The only specific mod I know of at the moment, Awesome Mod, is allowed. You are allowed to play with any Mod that does not give you a signifigant advantage over a player without the mod.
Aging and story progression must be on and lifespans set to the normal level. Objects purchased from the Sim Store are considered ‘official’ as well as the ones included with the game. You may use custom objects, as long as their price and mood effects are in line with similar ‘official’ objects. Plain and simple, no money or mood cheats.
If additional neighborhoods are made available with mods or EPs, or we gain the ability to plop our own lots down, they may be used, as long as the lot in question is completely empty and costs at least $14,700. All legacies start out with very humble beginnings and expect your founder to live like a hobo for awhile. Yes I know that leaves you with only $1,300 in cash to build a house, that’s the point. The common thread between these lots is that they are large, empty and cost $14,700. If you move into Sunset Valley, you will be moving into “15 Summer Hill Court”. If you move into Riverview, you must move into “345 Riverblossom Hills Drive”.
While you are free to choose either standard town, there is a very specific lot that must be used. Be creative with the family name, you’ll be seeing it for quite some time. No other sims may be created in the founder’s family. You may choose all 5 traits as well as their three favorite likes (food, music and color) and a lifetime want. Custom content may be used if you like, including create-a-style custom patterns and colors.
You have full choice over their look, color and clothing. They may be any age that can have children (YA, Adult and Elder for males, YA and Adult for females). The challenge begins with a single founder. You may use an existing game file, but your Legacy family must immediately become the “Active Household” and not cease to be active for the duration of the challenge. You will be using this file exclusively to play your Legacy Challenge. Starting out: Create a brand new game file. For a full list of the Sims 3 Legacy Challenge rules, you can continue reading. The Sims 3 Legacy Challenge is a challenge lasting the course of 10-generations where you start out with a single founder and modest beginnings, trying to lead your family to fortune and success.
