Zodiac Legacy Challenge
Zodiac Legacy Challenge
I have seen this challenge everywhere, but I have noticed a few inconsistencies with the traits and colors, so I wanted to create something with different aspirations and traits. This is a very BASE GAME created, but I will offer additional common sign-likes you can use to choose other traits that match any additional packs you may own.
I may also work on creating a Tarot Legacy Challenge with Major Arcana for a larger Challenge. I have read Tarot for almost 4 years now, and would love to do this as well, but for now, I wanted something very sporadic but not horribly difficult to complete. :D
It also leaves a lot open to interpretation and more to add, depending on the packs you may own. If you own packs not mentioned in this, please feel free to add your own traits or aspirations if they sync up with the Zodiac sign’s description and colors.
HOW TO BEGIN:
Start with a young adult or a runaway teen. (male or female, but I will be playing a female heir system, hence the photo icons**** for each sign :D )
Use Generation One Colors to create this sim.
Find an empty lot that is no BIGGER than 30x40. (You may not move off this lot, so make sure you’re prepared to have a couple of generations living on this lot)
Take money down to 0.
RULES:
You can only make money for EVERY GENERATION with skills/jobs related to that sign. If your SIGN has a job option, you can use it or you have to use the listed skill-based ways of making money.
You can NOT marry or have children until you have either completed your aspiration or you have completed the generational requirements.
Heir must be your firstborn unless you are playing a matriarchal or patriarchal line, then it must be the first son or daughter in your line. Any non-heir children can be moved out once they turn into young adults to make room for future generations, but they must stay in the same WORLD as your legacy family, just a different lot.
All HEIR graves MUST be kept on the legacy lot, so I suggest basement or outdoor crypts if you have the Life and Death Pack. Otherwise, an Urn room/basement will also save space!
Any other moved-out family members may be placed in crypts, a graveyard, or Urn rooms, but it is not required. (This is possible if you have a life and death pack to inherit the Sims’ urn after he/she pass away.)
You CAN use CC or BUILD cheats such as bb.moveobjects on cheat throughout this playthrough, BUT NOT FOR MONEY nor the MAKE happy cheat, or removing things like the "burnt out" moodlets.
Optional: If you want a nightmare legacy challenge, play on a short life span OR play on long lifespan on a 15x20 lot. (Trust me, it's harder than you would think when you have long lifespans and not enough space for everyone.)
If I have missed anything or you have questions, please feel free to ask here or message me and I will address any questions or add rules as people ask them. :D I will be playing this with all of you. It HAS NOT BEEN TESTED YET for difficulty and changes may be made as I play thru this! Please feel free to share your sims, builds and graveyards or anything else related to this challenge here in the comments or by simply tagging me in your posts :D i am excited to see WHO and WHAT you create with this!
