SIMS 3 REMIXED LEPacy CHALLENGE!
to follow along with my channel and my lepacy challenge, my yt is ; @PlumzeySims
As someone whose been playing the Sims 3 for over 14 years, I know the redundancy simmers face when playing the game for long stretches! And with the inspiration of the well-loved Legacy challenge, and the Lepacy challenge by Dollybats, I have modified it to be even more challenging, story driven! I hope this ignites your spark like it did with me! This challenge is EXTENSIVE, and designed to be interactive and modified to your personal gameplay style, while also making you try new careers, goals, traits, etc. within the game that maybe you haven’t played with, avoid playing with. This challenge will be different every time you play it and different to any others who play it. Since this challenge is highly interactive, you will need several tools before you start your challenge, these tools include;
P.S. if you like this challenge, feel free to follow me through it on my youtube channel! If you watched the og letsplays from LifeSimmer, Piinksim, etc, you will love my videos!!!!! (hopefully…)
Okay enough of that, here are the general rules;
No use of cheats unless explicitly stated
Each generation follows the 12 expansion packs released for the Sims 3.
Only 1 heir per generation! You cannot switch them, however, if an heir dies, a family member can take over.
Unlike the original legacy challenge, you can move to different lots within your world, but do not change worlds unless needed to.
Each generation has a theme, stick to it! It makes the game fun!
You cannot use the Inheritance lifetime reward! I know this is lowkey crazyyyyyy work but trust me! The harder the challenge the more fun it is!!!!!!! (this is flexible!)
Each generation has a broad storyline, and has generation specific rules, make sure to read the rules for each generation very carefully as rules in some generations may not apply in others.
This is optional: at the end of each generation, throw a huge party to celebrate the end of the generation, I personally like to do this and I have fun with it!
At the start of each new generation, you are required to move towns, you are allowed (encouraged!) however, you must start each generation with only the heir sim in your household, unless otherwise specified.
This challenge is very indepth, I aimed at exploring everything included in the expansion packs, making each generation longer and harder (lol) to complete. In regards to this, setting your sims lifespans to ‘long’ will make sure you have adequate time to finish each task in every generation. Here are my personal settings:
Seasons are set: (depending on the town, for desert towns, or tropical towns, only seasons spring and summer are turned on.)
Generation one: Base Game
Recommended town: Sunset Valley
Welcome to the most iconic world of the franchise, Sunset Valley! With its small-town feel, this is the perfect world to have your sim start out in!
Lets start your LEPACY challenge in create a sim, obviously…
Grab a piece of paper (irl..)
Grab a dice, or google “roll a dice” to have the web do it for you. (6 sided dice)
Now, your sim will be created based on the numbers you roll… ok lets go
Start with one sim, at the young adult lifespan.
Name: arguably the MOST important, this sets the tone for your gameplay!
Get your dice out! Roll twice to get the letters for your sims first and last name, (ex. I rolled a 5, so I can pick either E,K,Q,W for my sims first name, I rolled a 1 next, so I can pick a last name that starts with A,G,M,S,Y) or, if you want to challenge yourself further, you can roll once and pick a first and last name that starts with the same letter.
1 = A, G, M, S, Y
2 = B, H, N, T, Z
3 = C, I, O, U
4 = D, J, P, V
5 = E, K, Q, W
6 = F, L, R, X
5: any unnatural color (pink,blue,green,etc.!)
6: simmers pick!!!! (pick a good one)
For the traits section were going to do it a bit differently, now this wouldn’t be a challenge unless you were actually moving outside your simming comfort zone…. So:
Trait 2: a trait you rarely/never choose.
Trait 3,4,5: roll the dice! If you get a trait that is incompatible, roll again!
For your lifetime wish, I want you to go ahead with whatever the game has assigned your sim with, in response to the traits you’ve rolled.
All other CAS customization is up to you! have fun with your randomized heir!
Now that your sim is ready to hit the town;
Move into any EMPTY lot. (choose wisely, your heir will only be allowed to move when allowed as per the rules of this generation)
After moving into your empty lot, use the familyfunds cheat to set your household funds to $1,300, or if you wanna be hardcore, start with 0. Use this to furnish your home with whatever you’d like.
Based on the traits of your heir, choose a Base game career that you feel like suits them and their vibe. The list of base game careers follows:
Meet and befriend 3 sims, hangout with these friends often at the park, beach or bar (you will have to add it into your world.)
meet and start dating an iconic townie! You can meet this person either at a community lot or at work. You CANNOT go to this sims house to meet them; you must meet organically. (you can date multiple sims)
At level three of your career, you can get engaged! Befriend 10 sims to atleast a ‘good friend’ level to secure those wedding gifts.
At level four, you can get married, however, you must have a functional home to have your spouse to move into (they deserve the best, don’t they?), a functional home includes:
A separated bathroom space that includes a: sink, toilet and shower.
At level five of your career, you can start to have children! For generation 1; you can only have 3 children. In the odd case that you accidentally have an extra child, delete it. (Nah jk, but fr if you manage to have more than 3, you must fine your household $3k.)
After your second child is born, you may move to another lot, however you must build the home yourself on an empty lot.
Own or partner with 4 businesses
Become enemies with one of your old friends.
Maintain excellent relationships with your children and spouse
When your third kid ages up to a child, you may move again, into any lot you wish.
Take every skill class available
Visit every community lot once.
Complete your lifetime wish or Career.
Once you’ve completed all the required tasks, its time to pick an heir and move on to the next generation! You can either choose to follow the order of expansions listed below, or you can roll the dice and let the universe choose for you! (use 2 dice for this as there are 12 expansion packs.)
Your heir for generation 2 is: child 2/3
**** this is still under construction, and the rest of the challenge will be coming out as soon as i am finished! bare with me******
