LIFE GOALS LEGACY CHALLENGE
One of the most forgotten features in The Sims 4, in my opinion, is the aspiration system. Most of the time you just slap one on that fits a sims character and never acknowledge it ever again. So, I made a 12 generation legacy challenge based around them! I chose what I feel are the most interesting aspirations from each category and designed a generation around it! If you play the challenge please use #lifegoalslc and I’ll make sure to reblog your post on the official reblog tumblr!
This challenge does not follow the traditional legacy rules, however some of them do apply.
You cannot use any cheats. You may use the free real estate cheat to buy your first home but that’s it.
You cannot take money from a sim that moves in with you.
All heirs must complete the aspiration, career and skills listed for them unless otherwise stated.
As this legacy has more gens than a traditional legacy and most people struggle to complete those, I decided to add an optional “feature” to speed up the challenge. This is called time skipping. Here’s how it works:
If you have completed all of a gen’s tasks and your sim has an heir you can perform a time skip. To do this, age up all of the sims involved in your challenge how every many ages it would take for your heir to become a young adult. For example if your heir is a child, you would age everyone up twice. If a sim would go past elder you can either leave them as an elder or kill them with something like MC Command Center.
Please note this is entirely optional and you do not have to do it if you don’t want to!
