✨ Magical Circle of Life ✨
5 generation legacy challenge
General rules
If you would rather listen to me going through the rules, I posted a video about this challenge HERE ♥
I'm playing through this challenge myself on my Youtube channel if you want to watch that you can join us HERE ♥
This challenge is technically 5 generations long, though the final generation has two occults, so essentially two halves.
The main objective of this legacy challenge is to experience and play through everything each 'occult pack' has to offer for that specific occult. You will have a hard time imagining any of these occults, if you do not own the packs. However, if you wish to play through this challenge and don't own some of the packs, feel free to skip that generation or use your imagination. (Packs used: Island Living, Realm of Magic, Vampires, Werewolves, Get to Work and Life & Death)
I have yet to play test this at the time of releasing this post and will be playing through this challenge on my YouTube channel. You can watch the episodes out so far HERE.
I have some experience with legacy and generational challenges, so each gen should be optimised for Normal Lifespan. However, feel free to try this challenge on any lifespan option.
I cannot play without mods and CC so those will naturally be allowed in this challenge. However, personally I advice you to keep cheats to a minimum. At least for me, big part of the fun in these kind of challenges is the grind. Enjoy the challenge that comes with having no money or having to make some real effort, it'll be worth it !
There are no rules how many kids your heirs can have (except for the final generation that is allowed zero kids) or which gender etc. the heir must be. Enjoy the freedom and unleash your imagination !
Big part of this challenge to me is also how "vague" the rules are. I think of them more like guidelines for exploring the pack thoroughly, instead of hard-set rules. That being said, there are occasionally some story-related rules that I'd like you to follow, which are always specified on each generation's rule card. Other than that, you have all the freedom to do whatever you want. You can do additional aspirations, have whatever traits (unless specified) and work in whichever career (unless specified/completed 10 levels on the specified career already).
I wanted to create a challenge that guided me through each active occult, a challenge with fewer hard-set rules and more freedom to tell different kind of stories, so I hope you enjoy that ! ♥ If you would rather read the rules in text form, I'm making a google doc version and posting it HERE once that is finished.
