Can't wait to start a new legacy when babies get their big update! I feel like that's going to make this challenge even more fun!
I started planning my first legacy when I saw the stream. I just started because I couldn't wait to do it but I've been working on building all the homes for the past few months. I'm super excited as most of my gameplay is based around families
when does it come out ?
WHAT OMG I DIDNT EVEN KNOW
@@rayzpluto01 infants come out march 14th
Yep am so excited since the infants are coming! Am gonna try this challenge right away but am gonna make the generation longer and the life is shorter 😈
An easier way to get the 64x64 lot is to just:
1. Move into an empty lot
2. Use your phone to move household
3. Choose the new lot
4. Choose to move in+demolish all
5. Congrats you now have a massive lot with less hassle than the manage world's version
I forgot you could do this. Thank you!
@@MysticsLibrary no prob mystic, a lot of simmers forget that little trick 😉. Happy to help one the ppl who got me really into the Sims 😀!
can't you just use the freerealestate cheat? Wouldn't it make it easier and faster?
@@booklover311but the point of a legacy challenge is to not use any cheats 🤷♀️
@@minna2855 I mean not all legacy challenges are the same
The main rule I break is that I move the family every generation or so. I tend to play one save file and there are so many amazing worlds and lots I can’t limit myself to one. I also like to build so once the family has money I build a new house or do a major overhaul every generation. 🎉
it’s so unfortunate that moving resets your generation streak. I’m doing a generational challenge that has goals for 50 gens and I doubt I’ll even get that far, but if I DID play my founder’s bloodline through 100 generations, I’d feel like I’d deserve to get the legendary legacy achievement. but you can only get it if you don’t move out of the lot your founder started on. I’m sorry but who is wanting to play for 100 generations on the same lot lol, wish they had a way of continuing to track the streak even if your sims move
an added challenge i gave my founder was that (if you have the uni pack) she couldnt get a job until she had graduated university. so for 3 weeks in game she had to scavenge for things and breed frogs just to get a little box house she could live in until she got her diploma and a very high paying job. it pays off in the end!
Ohhh! I love that! I should give that a shot one of these days.
i have been playing the sims since 2017 and this is my first challenge ever 😭😭😭 wish me luck
Usually I just choose an aspiration based solely on the bonus trait and then I change the aspiration once out of cas because the trait doesnt go away.
I actually like the aspiration that comes with the Star Wars pack because it gives the Prepared Voyager trait that replenishes needs a bit when travelling between any lots. That gives a huge leg up in any challenge where you don't have any way to fill your basic needs early on.
I honestly just play a non-challenge legacy. Mostly start with a married pair, or couple, or single sim. Just idylic living not tied to any rules
same
My life is hard enough I don't need my Sims to struggle too 😅
Hi! I hope you, Pinstar and the the boys are doing well! I'm 5 generations into a Sims 4 Legacy right now, but I'm not playing by super strict rules. Honestly, just getting that far is an accomplishment for me since my Sims 2 Legacies always blew up around Generation 3. 😅
Hi Lisa! It's great to see you!
I'm with you, I tend to not do strict rules and just try to play out a story of some sort instead.
Hey Mystic, so nice to see a new video of yours. Hope you’re doing well :-) Thanks for this tutorial, I can imagine it can be quite overwhelming for new players to get started with a legacy challenge. Looking forward to your other videos already!
I'm doing alright. Life has been a lot lately, but I'm just taking it one day at a time.
Ohhh the roof trick is so useful! I've always known you can have a floating roof to protect your plants and objects but not this one. Thank you so much!!!
Testerina Testerson!!! I LOVE that! Lol. Thank you for explaining this. I have never played long enough or consistently enough for any of my sims to have a legacy. Gonna try this again and pre order the growing families pack!
If you go to the icon next to the first sim when you select a house you can also write the sectionsion laws there as well
Love the roof house idea!
I'm actually rewatching your legacy while playing my own and enjoying it
Thank you so much for this video ❤ I really need a motivation video for when I get bored of my legacy 💖😥
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
I always like to use the lot by the lounge in brindleton bay on the bottom left because you kinda have a good, large space that isn’t too big, and you kinda aren’t locked into a certain build style when trying to build a house, because that might annoy people if their house is different form the rest of the neighborhood (me) so I think that is a great spot to build in.😊
I tried a legacy challenge once but got bored with the restriction that I must stay on the same lot for 10 generations. I just like moving my sims too much.
Love the Legacy Challenge! Have been playing them since Pinstar initiated it for the Sims 2. Love the beginning of the challenge so much that I have yet to actually complete one, lol. Have created an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of all points that I print and highlight as I go. Just started another new one.😂
Ty for this! It feels like a lot getting it ready.
Side note my kitty is loving you mouse 😂
Hi Mystic! Happy to have a video from you!
Thank you for explaining this soo well! Also I never even knew you could make a house by just using the roof! I always was under the impression you had to lift it and put pillars under it lol! Again thank you I can't wait to try out this challenge!!
Great idea for a rags to riches challenge as well, using a roof as a house! I did not know about this hack lol
YAY!!! Legacy challenge!!!
It first you can get in a small lot then you can move to other one when your family has enough money it makes the game more realistically ❤
For my legacy aspirations I dont fuss too much over it as i switch them around throughout the game to earn more satisfaction points. Itll be a hot second before i have a kid so theres other things i can work on
Omg..I missed you so much I hope you’re doing well..I can’t wait to see what new gameplays you come out with..I do have a game I think you’ll like it’s called Potion Permit but anyways welcome back 😊
Thank you! I don't think I'll be doing a lot of Let's Play style series due to lack of time and things going on IRL that are out of my control, but I definitely want to post the occasional video. Most likely more guides like this, or reviews/reactions/list style videos that I can post once in a while.
I've heard of Potion Permit, though I haven't had a chance to look into it.
@@MysticsLibrary I understand completely..I just miss hearing your voice and your commentary on videos
Potion Permit is fun, but a bit too grindy imo. There gets to a point where every day is more or less the same because you either don't have enough materials or money to get to the next area.
currently doing a fairies and witches legacy with the mod from spinning plumbobs
Gonna start a princess legacy challenge
The way I laughed when she said her name was Testerina Testerson 💀💀💀 HAHSHHSS
I've played Pinstar's Legacy for TS4 twice. So fun! Thank you for the tutorial. Does this mean you and will updating the treat randomizer? I (and surely many other simmers) would really love an update to your wonderful trait randomizer!
Thank you! The randomizer should be updated with all of the aspirations and traits at this point. Are we missing anything?
@@MysticsLibrary Thank you so much! Yours is the very best trait randomizer for any multi-generation challenge, so I'm super delighted to be able to use it again! (I'll help spread the word.) Happy holidays to you and yours!
I'm very bored of the sims but you inspired me now
How do we use the random trait generator for parents with traits that aren't in the generator yet, from a new pack?
I want to do this but im gonna use a normal lot
Hi guys do you know if custom traits are allowed for legacy challenge
I always stop at the middle of it i guess i get bored got any ideas how i can make it interesting
i think i’ll do a legacy challenge with vampires
i’m doing a legacy challenge on long life, it’s been 3 days and i’m only 20 days in 😭
I recommend giving them the “successful lineage” trait too
YAY!!!!
❤️❤️❤️
8:34 Why not do the millionaire version in the game so you start out with 0 simoleons the moment you plop you'd Sim on a lot?
Can i make my sim a famous person with the road to fame mod or no?
When you start a legacy challenge,can you use a house of the library for your sim?Is that allowed???
Yes you can!
Me: watching your video wondering how hard it is sometimes to pay my sims bills.
when your read her name i heard “testerina testersim”
Another thing you could’ve done is guarding the cheap werewolf bed and the werewolf push so they can actually have children and you can get the cheapest fridge cheapest toilet and shower and then you’ll be able to afford that woo hoo push and still have 305 simoleons left even with the easel
Getting the
Testerina she shall be named! ✌️🌻
I have a question if anyone can help me out, Ive never played the sims ever even though ive been wanting to play for a while, so im thinking about fixing up my old laptop so i can download it and play. Ive watched lots of sims 4 legacy challenges and I really want to try it out, but do you need to download any certain packs to be able to do the legacy challenge? Or can you just do it without any extra packs? If you do need to download any packs, can you recommend the ones i should download or that would make my gameplay more interesting or fun. Thank you 💘
You don't need to download any packs. You can do the challenge with just the base game if you want to! If you really want to get some packs then Seasons and Parenthood would be the two I'd recommend the most as they add a lot to the challenge.
@@MysticsLibrary thank you so much! I genuinely appreciate the help 🫶🏼
When choosing a lot, turn on freerealestate and demolish the lot and move in. Easy as.
Yeah, I honestly forgot this was a thing. Thank you!
@@MysticsLibrary
So far mine is
Mom Breanna
Dad Seth
Daughter Izabella(Izzy)
Twins Daughter Aubrey(Aubie)
And Son Avery (Ave)
And son Orion (Ori)
Izzy my heir and she will marry Alexander Goth and have daughter named Bella fater his mom and then Twins Rease and Rory (the genders are whatever)
Is there an extreme version? Or rules for sims 3? I'm waiting for the big baby update to really dive into legacy challenges
I plan on making one for the extreme version as well as the Sims 3, I just haven't had a chance to make them yet. Hopefully after the holidays!
@@MysticsLibrary Got it! I don't mind waiting, I've got an extreme rags to riches & 100 baby to keep me busy
Is there rules for someone who kinda wants to do one but doesn't build? I often just use gallery houses
You totally don't have to build your own house. You can use gallery houses if you want to!
Im not a fan of the $1800 limit combined with the completely barren lot. It doesnt make much sense to me and feels more like a rags to riches-legacy than a true to life family-legacy. It makes sense, if youre moving into a starter home, to have such limited funds, but having your founder essentially be homeless, or "camping" on their newly acquired land just doesnt _quite_ feel like an accurate narrative.
I like the idea; for the founder to move into a small starter house on a smaller lot, begin skill-building, make friends in the neighborhood, find a job, start dating until they find the right Sim, and shortly after they get married (once theyve had a week or two to build a bit of income), thats when theyll purchase a new (large size) lot, and start building a small family home, which will grow in size over the years as the family gets bigger and new generations become the matriarchs/patriarchs of the family.
I like the story element of it that the founding couple are building their new lives together, it kinda fits with the idea of building a family legacy that you would only start building that legacy when you start building the family, so while the original Sim is still single, I see that as a kind of story-prep.
I like the idea mentioned by another commenter, that they put their starter Sim through University first (if you have that pack), because it provides another path of opportunity regarding who your Sim meets & befriends, who they become, and who they ultimately marry.
Hi, I have 2 questions: Can I pick any lot traits/challenges or would that be considered cheating? Also, am I able to pick any occult sim? The reason I’m worried that may be cheating is because of advantages you may get such as the duplicate object spell from spellcasters. Thanks so much for this video!!!
Yes to both of those questions!
@@MysticsLibrary thanks so much!!!
Are you allowed to move into a pre made house? It doesn’t make since to start with no house since this is not a rags to riches challenge
You totally can!
I wanted to ask, does the sims system know that you are doing the legacy challenge? Because i made one mistake (i moved my spouse in and he had a bit of money from his old house, it was a while ago now) and i don’t want my legacy challenge to be disqualified lol
Oh I also chose my toddlers traits, i didnt randomize them :/
question are we aloud to use custom content like custom clothing and furniture
Yes, absolutely!
@@MysticsLibrary thx for clarifying 😃😃
Where in the game can you even select succession laws? I’m confused 😢
There’s no in-game setting, it’s just how you decide which sim carries on the legacy.
Is it with the scenario’s? I can’t find this challenge anywhere
It's not a scenario and it's not officially in the game. The Legacy Challenge is a player made challenge that we've been running since Sims 2. You can find all of the rules for it at simslegacychallenge.com/the-sims-4-legacy-challenge-rules/
@@MysticsLibrary Okay thanks for the info
Yay we now have infant 👶
I was the six hundred and sixty-sixth one to like the video.😅 Is this a sign to have an evil starter sim? 😂
I was wondering which life span I should choose for this challenge?
We usually suggest normal.
I wonder if the roof house works in the Sims 2... Hmm....
(I can't start another legacy I just started a third generation of a witch legacy 😅😅😩😩)
I'm pretty sure you can't do a roof house in the Sims 2, but it's been a while since I've played it so I'm not positive.
@@MysticsLibrary that's fair lol
Also I hope you'll understand what I mean when I say I'm both happy and sad to see you posting again
Thanks! I feel pretty much the same way.
i love and appreciate this video sm, but the bratty kid deep down inside me has to mention that "dachshund's creek" is pronounced dash-und like the dog breed, not dock-sand. very helpful video though! im starting my first legacy challenge rn
Actually docks-hund is the correct way to pronounce the breed too :)
@@MysticsLibrary dockshund sounds so cool haha
Yo! We have the same name! :]
Hey, how do I download the challenge?. I'm new to sims
Its not something you download, its just a player-made challenge for the game :)
Can you play the legacy challenge without packs?
Absolutely! It's completely doable with just the base game.
of course. The legacy challenge for sims 4 was adapted as soon as the base game was released, pretty much.
I thought u said: Today I will be f-ing about..
Do i have to have packs
Nope! You can absolutely do this challenge with just the base game.
I think there was a rule that you had to start in winter.
That's actually only for the extreme start option!
Does the founder have to be a female ?
Nope!
lmao testerina testerson
video importee dans ma tete.
u made this so complicated and for what
For a challenge. It's right there in the name. 😃 A Legacy isn't everybody's cup of tea, but sometimes gameplay is more fun if you have rules you are trying to stick to.
You forgot that sims 4 have to be a single sim and be a young adult
