If you’re like me, I like a good legacy challenge with nice themes/aesthetics to place/plan out with each heir with enough wiggle room for creative interpretations. No. Well I’ve always wanted to do a zodiac legacy challenge but could never find the rules for TS3 or most of them were made for TS4. So I guess I thought I would just make one then.
This was all made on a whim but it’s a strong whim. So enjoy the whim. “@” me if you use the rules since I didn’t come up with a tag for this.

I like to credit @tainoodles‘s TS4 Astrology Legacy as an inspiration/base for this, as well as many others I’ve found online.
A buttload of astrology sites
@starplumbob and @bravetrait for feedback. Thank you alot!
Whimsy Stories Legacy Challenge Converted from TS4 for TS3
I was looking at challenges again and saw this one and thought it was a pretty cool legacy challenge to play except it was for TS4. Well not anymore…
Whimsy Stories Legacy Challenge is a TS4 legacy challenge created by @kateraed where simmers who wish to be more involved in their sims lives with compelling storytelling as well as expand their gameplay through this challenge. Original rules can be found here.
I take no credit for this challenge except the conversion for TS3. Some of the stuff in TS4 is not applicable to TS3 (vice versa) so some changes were made to fit for TS3 gameplay.
Hi all, this is my first Sims 3 legacy challenge I've made myself, it is a result of my boredom on a Saturday evening but it was a lot of fun, so I'll throw this at you ☺
This elemental legacy challenge is for The Sims 3 and spans 9 Generations. It is inspired by the Chinese Zodaic Elements and also inspiration from my favourite JRPG's which utlise a lot of elemental themed magic. It has guided ideas and generational requirements with story themes throughout. Feel free to tag me if you have a go at this ✨
Rules:
I have listed the intended requirements for each generation, move on to the next generation once the requirements are complete or the next heir becomes a young adult
I have listed some guidance on careers, lifetime wishes and traits. I recommend taking 2-3 of the traits listed but they aren't mandatory
You can use money cheats if you wish, I've tried to write the generational order to put you in the desired financial spot for storytelling, but please just have fun with it
Please do alter and play this how you wish & how your stories pan out, the guidance is just there for ideas and isn't meant to limit you
Generation 1 - Earth
Child of earth, you are grounded and resillient. Your goal is to provide your family with solid foundations for the generations to come. You are selfless, stubborn and driven. You know what you want and will work your upmost to achieve it. Your ambitious and frugal nature can get on other's nerves and prompts the question: with so much planning for the future, are you really taking time to enjoy your own life?
Begin in a starter house. You should not move lots or houses this Generation and instead add extensions onto your house when needed
Master the cooking and nectar making skills
Fall in love and marry one person in your lifetime
Do not have children until you reach level 8 of your career
Save 20,000 for the next generation
Generation 2 - Water
Child of water, thanks to your parents hardwork, you had a carefree childhood and now plenty of savings behind you. You are a calm free spirit that lets the oceans currents carry you to your next adventure. You are in no rush to settle in one place just yet, why rush when you are having such fun? Your time for settling down will come evetually. Whatever will be will be.
Traits: Adventurous, Loves to swim, Commitment Issues, Easily Impressed, Athletic
Do not get married and settle down until adulthood
Have at least 3 children with 3 different people you meet in your travels

Generation 3 - Fire
Child of fire, you are passionate and hot-headed, throwing yourself headfirst into your work and relationships with a grandeur flair.

Child of ice, your parents doting nature only added onto your pressure. You never felt like you fit in with your family, never felt understood. They were all so extroverted and loud whilst you much preferred your quiet isolation. Perhaps that's why you prefer animals over people. You have a lot of love to give, I can only hope you will find someone to share that with (who is not one of your many pets).

Child of air, your life so far has been turbulent and chaotic. Your parents death has scarred you and you have floated through life lost. You try to travel on the right path for your late parent, but you can't help but feel there is more to life than what meets the eye. There are sounds at night that wake you, unexplained foresight into future events and a pull to the paranormal.

Your parents advocated for you to question the world, and question you did! You excelled in your studies and took a particular interest in space. Is it true you become a star if you die?
Have you ever wanted to play with Berry Sweet Sims? Perhaps a rainbowcy, but felt like there wasn’t much direction? Well then this is for you! Follow a pastel rainbow through 9 generations in this colorful challenge!
Not too long ago, I had asked if you guys would like me to rewrite my All In One legacy challenge that is based off the LEPacy challenge! I decided, why not? I have attempted this challenge multiple times but the only reason that I have not gotten through is because I am never happy with my founder- but, now, it is 2022, and I have made this challenge a few years ago and I think it needs some touching up. This challenge spans from the base game and ends with Into The Future, though you can continue on after if you would like to.
Notes: You can either play this like the original legacy challenge rules where you are not allowed to use cheats, etc. or you can play this however you want! I personally do not mind using cheats and stuff. Challenge under the cut!
I’ve been really wanting to start the Lilsimsie and AlwaysSimming’s Not So Berry Challenge in the Sims 3, but I wanted to adjust a few aspects of the generations to incorporate more types of gameplay than the orginal challenge description offers. I haven’t seen anybody else upload variations on this callenge in a few years now so I thought I would post it here in case anybody else is looking for new gameplay!
I tried to make the traits and objectives more representative of the generation descriptions and wherever I have changed the generation description I’ve made it really clear. Some generations are closer to the original than others, and there may be some unforseen issues with the gameplay as I’ve not completed this yet myself (so apologies if you encounter any!). I also own all packs so it was made with all packs in mind - I believe if you don’t own the pack yourself you’re free to change things up as you require, I know I used to!
So I want to say explicitly thank you to @lilsimsie and @alwaysimming for creating this challenge. The original description for the sims 3 can be found here.
I’d also like to draw attention to SarahPurple12 and ULTRAlelil on ModTheSims as both have posted their own takes on the sims 3 version of this challenge which are awesome and could be used if you need to swap out any generations/objectives!
Basic Rules - According to Lilsimsie and AlwaysSimming’s Original Description
Each heir must represent the color of the generation (i.e. hair, makeup, clothing), but brightly colored skin is not necessary (these aren’t actually berry Sims, that’s the joke). This is optional, but it is a big portion of the fun.

Every generation is supposed to complete both the career and aspiration of the heir unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Hi guys! Back at it again with another legacy challenge, specifically a conversion. This is the 'Very Veggie Legacy Challenge', originally made by @lilsimsie but converted to ts3 by me!
Rules and generations are below or you can read on the GOOGLE DOCS.
If you used this challenge (specifically the conversion) feel free to tag me!
Hi all! Welcome to another legacy conversion by me! This is the ‘Very Veggie Legacy Challenge’, originally created by lilsimsie as a follow-up to her original ‘Not So Berry’ challenge. I stumbled upon this challenge by chance, looking for something to play, after getting the itch to play some Sims 4. Whilst skimming the rules, I couldn’t help but think they could also work for Sims 3 gameplay, so I quickly set about converting it.
One notable difference from the rules of the original one is that I have blended both the general rules for each generation with those of the ‘base game’ rules. Sims 3 has fewer packs and store content than Sims 4, so I thought it would make the generations feel fuller to blend the two.
As with the original rules, this is something of a colour-based challenge. Instead of basic colour themes, the colours are to be inspired by the vegetables used in each generation. This can be interpreted any way you like - colourful hair and clothes, full berry sims, or even just a colour house!
The original rules also intend for this to be played as a sort of rags-to-riches style challenge. You are encouraged to start on an empty lot with zero funds, but you are welcome to start in a starter home and move up in the world as the challenge progresses!
This challenge, as with the original, is meant to encourage fun and goofy gameplay. If you choose not to follow rules exactly, I am not going to bite your head off! The important thing is to have fun and play as you want to play!
General Rules:
Start with one YA sim founder sim
Dress your founder and heirs to match their assigned colour theme and vegetable! You may also choose to decorate their house to match the theme
Use the assigned traits and aspiration for Generation 1 (Broccoli) when creating your Sim. If you get random traits for your heirs in the future, try to assign at least one of their remaining traits with that of the upcoming generation
To complete this challenge you must make it through ten generations of the same family and complete all (if not most) of the challenges for each generation
If you are missing a career or trait, feel free to substitute it with whatever you deem appropriate
The next generation officially “begins” once you complete the rules of the previous generation and/or the heir has become a young adult
GENERATION ONE: BROCCOLI
Vegetables spend a lot of time outside staring at the sky. You notice the way sunlight filters through leaves. You hear how the wind sings. You watch the sky paint a picture every night at sunset. Nature is beautiful, and you want to capture it. You become an artist and dedicate your life to honing your craft and sharing it with others.
Colour theme: Dark Green
Traits: Artistic, Green Thumb, Love the Outdoors, Avant Garde, Nurturing

GENERATION TWO: EGGPLANT
Everyone won’t shut up about romance. All day every day you have to listen to weird suggestive eggplant jokes, people complaining about their partners, or even worse: them going on and on about their happy little relationships. You’re sick of it! Love is dead, and you’re going to prove it. You decide your life goal is to ruin as many relationships as possible. Well, at least when you’re off the clock. You can’t exactly quit your day job. Relationship saver by day, relationship ruiner by night.

You devote your life to caring for and raising your horses and become a championship horse rider.

Divorce as an adult

GENERATION 5: POTATO
You never really minded dirt, and you don’t see why anyone else would either. It’s honestly kind of offensive that people are so dramatic about always wanting a “clean house” with “functional appliances” and “no mould.” You love to dumpster dive, befriend dust bunnies, and live in filth, and you absolutely NEVER clean.
Never clean your house - hire a maid or have your partner do it!
Join the Criminal career
Make money on the side by stealing and dumpster diving
Have one child and have a good relationship with them
GENERATION SIX: TOMATO
It’s hard growing up as a tomato in a world of veggies. You’re different from your family. Nobody takes you seriously. People keep pointing out that you contain seeds, and that you grow from the flower of the tomato plant so you can’t possibly be a vegetable like the rest of them. Well, whatever! You’ll show them by growing plants! You decide to become a gardener, and you will spend your life trying to prove to yourself to everyone around you.

Your fascination turns into an obsession, and you devote your life to the macabre, all while not being fully sure if you even believe in any of it.
Be in a relationship with a human as a teen but break up as YAs
Fall in love and have children with a ghost
Have at least three children
GENERATION EIGHT: RADISH
You grew up in a house full of death, and now you can’t help but feel chased by it. It doesn’t help that all your hobbies are a little bit dangerous. Just stay away from poison and try not to fall off a mountain. You’ll be fine! Constantly being surrounded by death taught you to live life to the fullest, and instilled within you a deep desire for adventure. The sky’s the limit… literally!

I have taken a break from sims 3 and while I am still working on my lepacy, I sometimes need a break and so look for more challenges. @tomatosoupcat posted a Boba challenge and didn't see a TS3 version so decided to covert it. THIS IS NOT MY IDEA AND I MIGHT NOT BE THE ONLY ONE. I kept within the theme and didn't write a massive story to them but did try add a creative spin.

This legacy is based on the same one by @sweetlysimss who very graciously gave me permission to try my hand at converting the challenge for TS3. It's not perfect but I tried my best to stick to the original rules and try and make it fun!
Tag: #nsbxbpr should be fine still or @ me if you do try this out!
Rules:
This challenge can be played with vanilla, banilla, or berry sims
As per the challenges this is based on, the romance options are a mix between those in the BPR or NSB, allowing you to choose which you’d like (or mix them up if you wish!)
There is an optional generational challenge to paint/take a photo of your heir for every generation
The generational requirements do not need to be strictly followed/can be changed as you see fit - the important thing is to have fun!
Generation 1: White
You come from a long line of privileged sims. Life was easy for you and you never wanted for nothing. Despite the easy life, you also felt constricted, unable to be yourself. Now that you’re a young adult, you decide to break free from your parents and pursue your own dreams. Packing your bags, and taking enough money to get by with you, you run away to the old, rundown, farmhouse that the only grandparent you cared for left you in the will. Starting off with nearly nothing to your name, you decide to pursue the hobby you were never allowed to chase to its extent: painting. Due to your upbringing, you find it difficult to let other sims in and may come across as rude sometimes. What you really need is that one special sim to make you feel like it’s all worth it. Slowly but surely, as the years go by, your own family starts to grow, but life is not without its ups and downs…
Career: none; make money through your paintings, fishing, and harvestables
Move into your grandparent’s old house. Must be fairly basic/rustic (the size of the house/lot is up to you)

Go on at least one date with a purple, pink, and/or a red sim

Become enemies with the other sims you did not end up with

Be good friends with all your children and animals
Become good friends with at least one grandchild
-
Generation 2: Purple/Pink/Red
Although not everyone would believe you, you would say you had a great childhood. You grew up sheltered but loved by your parents and sibling. From a young age, you had a great passion for reading and books, though all those days spent reading might have left you with a few unrealistic expectations about life. Despite everything, you are eager to see everything that life has to offer and a sudden once-in-a-lifetime trip might change your world forever…
Recommended traits: bookworm, computer whiz, great kisser, irresistible, family oriented

-
Generation 3: Peach/Yellow
It is fair to say that you grew up in quite a hectic household. The only person who spends time with you and truly understands you is your childhood best friend. The two have you been through thick and thin. They were initially drawn to you for your quiet nature, your inquisitive soul, and a passion for nature inherited from your grandparent. In your late teens, you start to notice those traits are working against you, causing others to call you “weird” or “different”, so you adapted. However, in the process of becoming this new version of yourself, you find yourself losing the one thing you ever held dead. Will you ever get your best friend back? Only time will tell…

As an adult, reconcile with your childhood best friend
Optional: have one more child

Unlike your parents, you are far more practical when it comes to your life choices - or so you like to claim. After getting interested in your grandparent’s large book collection, you become interested in the occult, in particular witches. A mysterious book leads you to become a witch accidentally and soon strange things start to happen. Before you know it your great-grandparent has come back from the dead! In flesh and blood!

-
Generation 6: Orange/Green
Food is love. Crime is life. Doting parent and aspiring cook by day, criminal by night. Have you ever heard of a baking criminal? Neither have you, but someone should be the first. You have loved cooking and baking from a young age, though struggled to find your feet in the culinary career. When you leave at night your family think you are working at a swanky restaurant in town, little do they know you’re actually working for the most notorious criminal organisation in town!

Regrettably, they always seem to be the one in the spotlight, whereas you are left floundering in the dark. What you do excel at though is school and eventually, your career.

Hello! This was originally a TS4 Challenge created by @cosmoosims, adapted to TS3 by me (simspaghetti) I take no credit for the majority of storylines & writing, I have just adapted the goals to suit TS3 gameplay - as it seems like a really fun challenge I was keen to try out for myself!
Overall Rules
For added challenge: Move out with §0 for every generation
Use whatever CC / Mods that you want to enhance your gameplay & I’ve included goals from various expansion packs but you can just leave those off or replace them using your own judgement if you prefer it to just be base-game compatible.
As cosmoo states in the OG rules: ‘Try not to cheat except for when explicitly stated you can. The game is so much more fun when it’s genuinely hard, but of course you can play however you like! It’s your game, after all.’
This challenge has 8 generations, each with their own unique skills to master, LTWs to complete, and careers to beat.
Have fun and as always I’d LOVE to see if you try this out Use: #BeginnersDramaTS3 and/or Tag: @simspaghetti
-> Google Docs Version Here
Docs is the recommended reading format so you can tick-off goals as you go, but I’ve also included the challenge under the cut!

Unfortunately, sometimes their independent nature gets the best of them, causing a rift in both family and friendships alike. Because of this, this sim is seldom happy tied to anyone, and often pushes others away. The only person they want to be with is a ghost they haven’t seen since their childhood…

Here is my first set of legacy rules for The Sims 3! This challenge was inspired by different kinds of soda, including ones common on a normal soda fountain. I had most of this challenge blocked out early this year, but only just got around to adding the finishing touches to some of the generations.
My own play through of this challenge will start posting in the new year.
You can get to the rules google doc *here* or see a preview of the first generation below!
Oh wow, its my third challenge. Anyway, I was looking for new challenges and wondered why no one has made a planet themed challenge for TS3 (there’s a lot for TS4). So I decided to make one.
Cosmic Legacy Challenge is a 11 gen challenge that includes the sun, planets, the moon,and Pluto because I wanted Pluto so therefore, its spaced theme. Each generation is based off a mix of astronomy, astrology,and greek/roman mythology. Some of the goals in certain generations require your sim crying/drama and if that’s your playstyle that’s cool but heads up if it isn’t. So if you enjoy space, space themed adventures, or a bit of drama from time to time in your legacies, this might be for you.
Hello! I really liked playing this legacy challenge in TS4 but found it wasn’t converted to TS3, so I decided to do it myself hehe. Granted I didn’t look that thoroughly (…hehe…) so I do apologise if this has already been converted before! It’s not an exact copy, of course - there are things TS3 doesn’t have that TS4 has and vice versa, but I tried my best to stay true to the original TS4 rules, with a little bit of my own flair sprinkled in hehe. I am play testing this right now, so if there are any problems with this please let me know!
NOTE: As I’m still playtesting this, the rules are subject to change. Obviously if it’s too late to max a skill/complete a rule I added afterwards, you’re not obligated to do it! Sometimes the ideas don’t come to you until way later, and unfortunately I only have one brain cell :’)
Original TS4 rules can be found here. All credits go to @a-sims-garden for the original, I just converted it! ✿
GENERAL RULES
Complete the assigned aspiration and skills for each generation - career is optional if you have completed the aspiration and vice versa, You can complete both if you’re up to it!
There are two colours associated with every generation. These may be used for genetics (berry/banilla), or just clothes and house decor if that isn’t your kinda thing!
This was part of the rules of the original challenge but honestly I’m gonna ignore it, but if you want the extra challenge, here you go: Start each generation with a small house/apartment and 1000 simoleons. If you want to make the challenge harder, you can start each generation on an empty lot with 0 simoleons (rags to riches style!)
Play on any lifespan you wish, but short is not recommended. (I personally play on normal, long if I’m feeling edgy)
For some gens, there are only three to four traits assigned; the rest will be up to you!
I would love to see gameplay of this in TS3! If you want, @ me or use #s3ib or #Sims3InBloom (hehehehe) (◕ ɔ ◕✿)
Gen 1: Daisy (white, yellow)
Gardening has always been your passion. Owning a large, healthy garden is all you’ve ever wanted in life, even if your nails constantly have soil under them and you have so many broken pots you’ve lost count. However, as with many things, gardening also requires a pretty good grasp on the technical, science-y side of things! You find both to be rewarding - best of both worlds, right? You sit and wonder what your family will grow to do, and hope that they will flourish just as beautifully as your garden has. This is the start of your family legacy!
