Sims 4 TV Family Legacy Challenge
My husband and I worked on this together... It's a Legacy Challenge based on TV families from shows... Of course I left out the families with horrible personalities (Such as the Cosby Show (Bill Cosby) and All in the Family (Let's face it, Archie was a racist... But, hey, if you want to add them into your challenge, that is entirely up to you!
TV Family Legacy Challenge:
Infants have to remain infants for the entire time.
Toddlers can be aged up if they get level 3 in all skills, or level 5 on one skill.
Children can be aged up either by completing their aspirations or by becoming an A student
Teenagers can be leveled up either by completing their aspirations or by becoming an A student
Adults must finish at least one level of aspiration before they die.
Can be done in any order, and you are allowed to use cheats. I understand the game gets annoying without cheats.
