Jemma’s Gemstone Legacy Challenge
Hi Sparkles! Welcome to my Gemstone Legacy Challenge, a ten generation legacy where you are free to play as you choose <3
Do you like sparkly things? Do you enjoy playing colourful legacies, but hate strict rules? Do you want to discover new gameplay ideas? Well, look no further…
Each heir represents a generational colour with their clothes and hairstyles (you can have fun with eye colours too – I like to play where the eye colours are passed down from the previous generation)
Try not to use cheats too much (depending on your gameplay style)
Follow the rules of each generation, but please add your own creative flair! (also feel free to adapt the rules for packs that you have)
I suggest to play with normal or short lifespan, but this is up to you
Use the hashtag #gemstonelegacy, or tag me in your posts :)
Optional Cats and Dogs add-on: have a pet for each generation!
I’ve always wanted to create my own legacy challenge, so this has been a while in the making. I love exploring new parts of the game, and I hope this challenge helps with that. We’ll have to see how it turns out! Follow along with the playthrough on my YouTube channel! :)
Generation One: Ruby (red)
You are a sociable doctor who really loves the colour red. You work hard in your career, and party hard with your friends. You’re a Sim with a taste for the finer things in life, and have a small circle of the bestest friends. I guess you could say you like to follow your heart.

Get married as a young adult
Renew your vows with your spouse as an elder (an interaction available with the wedding arch)

You’ve always found it hard to make decisions. You love all your hobbies, and don’t want to let a single one go.

But maybe you’re starting to realise that the grass is always greener on the other side…
