Folklore Legacy Challenge
Hey Ya'll! I've been working on this one for a little while and I can't wait to share it with you! It's a 16 + 1 generation legacy challenge for the Sims 4 based off of Taylor Swifts album Folklore!
There aren't many solid rules for this one, I mostly just want ya'll to have fun and play it in a way that makes sense to you.
That being said:
- Mods and cheats are ok to use (I even encourage it).
- Each Gen must have at least one child to play as the next heir.
- I have used lots of packs in making this, you will need: City Living, Cats and Dogs, High School Years, Get Together, Crystal Creations, For Rent, Outdoor Retreat, Island Living, Dream Home Decorator, Parenthood, Discover University, Dine Out, Stranger Ville, Get Famous, Spa Day, Growing Together + more that I've probably forgotten.
- If you do not have the required packs, feel free to change what you need to as long as it is somewhat similar to the original.
