Hey Simmers!

Okay, so… I might have overheard something juicy at the mailbox. Word is, the Goth family could be expecting a new little one. 👀 But hey—you didn’t hear it from me! I’m just your friendly neighborhood nosy Simmer, always poking around for the latest scoop. Which brings me to something exciting I’ve cooked up...

🎉 Welcome to The Sims 4: Nosey Neighbor 10-Generation Legacy Challenge! 🎉

Imagine living next to that one neighbor who knows everything about everyone. Now imagine being that neighbor… for ten generations. 😄 But here’s the twist—each generation isn’t just about peeking through the curtains; they turn everyday hobbies and passions into booming businesses! From candle crafting to gardening, photography to baking, your Sims will build legacies rooted in creativity, hustle, and a whole lot of neighborhood charm.

Each generation will:

Start with a hobby or skill

Grow it into a side hustle (or empire!)

Face unique neighborhood “scenarios” or drama

Pass the torch—with flair!

To help guide your Sims through their nosey but noble adventures, I’ve included a handy checklist to keep your legacy glowing and growing 🌱✨

💌 Ready to dive in? Share your screenshots, stories, or just your Sims’ best gossip faces by tagging me @Simpanda_27—I’d love to see how your legacy unfolds!

Let’s turn small-town drama into big-time dreams. #NNLC

The Sims 4: Nosey Neighbor 10-Generation Legacy Challenge

Overview:

You're not just a Sim—you’re the neighborhood busybody. Whether you're spying from behind the blinds or meddling in romances, your family's legacy is built on curiosity, gossip, and drama. Each generation explores a new form of "nosey behavior" and pushes the envelope of what it means to know everybody’s business.

⚠️ Use of packs like Get Together, Seasons, Parenthood, and Eco Lifestyle enhances the experience, but it's playable with the base game.

Basic Rules:

Lifespan: Normal

Aging: On

Start with one Sim on any empty lot or small starter home.

No money cheats (except freerealestate for the first lot if you want drama in a fancy neighborhood!)

You must complete all goals for each generation before moving to the next.
