Meet the families of my Medieval town Eldoria 👪🏰

These are the three main families I will be playing rotationally as I try @tedsies Medieval challenge. I started small, I would have liked to start with more families but I wanted just a few to get a hang of things as I’ve never played rotationally before. So here are the three families and small descriptions of them.

The Forrest Family:

Edmund and Lyanna Forrest, have small piece of land but it's home. Running a small farm to hopefully feed themselves and the people of Eldoria. Edmund and Lyanna are very keen to start having nooboos, and plenty of them as they both are Family Aspiration sims. Will the watcher grant their wishes of a big happy family? We will see!

The Mormont Family:

Samuel, Claud and Marie Mormont. Samuel and Claud are brothers who share a very close brotherly bond and Marie is the younger sister to Lyanna Forrest. Samuel is a fortune Aspiration sim, Claud a romance (as he is the town cassanova) and Marie a Family Aspiration sim. Just like the Forrest Family they have a small piece of land, that the brothers hope to have a small farm and Marie hopes to have many nooboos with Samuel. Will Claud settle down or will he sow his oats wherever he can?

The Jorah Family:

The Jorah sisters, Margeret and Merilynn are sisters and best of friends. Margeret is a “looking for a good time” type sim both in her everyday life and love life as a Romance Aspiration sim, the thought of raising many nooboos doesn’t call to her at all. Marilynn is a soft spoken hopeless romantic sim. As the towns midwife (and as of right now the only midwife) she feels it’s her purpose to help being new life into this world and she can’t wait until she can have many nooboos as she is a Family Aspiration Sim, she wants to fall inlove, marry and have as many nooboos as she possibly can and as fast as she can.

There you have it! Hopefully these families make it through the medieval times and the watcher spares them from death rolls!

1-2-3-4 Legacy Challenge

The 1-2-3-4 Legacy Challenge puts a twist on the traditional Legacy Challenge by spanning across all four mainline Sims games:

One generation in TS1

Two generations in TS2

Three generations in TS3

Four generations in TS4

This adds up to 10 generations in total. The goal is to explore the evolution of The Sims gameplay over the years! There is more information below, but feel free to run with the idea — customize it to suit your playstyle and tell the story you want to tell!

If you play this challenge, share your progress with the hashtag #1234Legacy — we’d love to follow along!

HOW TO PLAY / SUGGESTIONS:

Play One Generation in TS1: Start with a single Sim, find a partner through gameplay, and have at least one child. If you have more than one, designate one Sim to be the "heir."

Moving to TS2: When you’ve chosen an heir, "move" your family to TS2. Recreate your Sims in CAS, matching their physical features, clothing, and personalities as closely as possible. Adjust your starting funds to match your TS1 net worth, build or buy your home, and continue the legacy! Think about your family's story as they transition from game to game. Consider writing out how and why your Sims "moved." Were they Simply looking for a change of scenery, or did they "time travel" to another world?

Moving to TS3: When your Gen 4 heir is a child (or teen), it's time to move on to TS3! Think about which Sims you would like to take with you, and why. Would they all move together or would some stay behind? Once you’ve decided, recreate your family, and adjust your starting funds.

Moving to TS4: Finally, when your Gen 7 Sim is ready, it's time to transition to TS4. Decide which Sims you will move, recreate your family, and adjust your family funds one last time. It's time for the final act of your Sims' legacy.

OPTIONAL CHALLENGE IDEAS:

The Sims 1: There are no money cheats, but you can use terrain manipulation to reduce your funds if you want a more difficult starting scenario. If you're feeling brave, try to reach the top level of your Sims' career — that's not easy in TS1.

The Sims 2: Try to reach the top level of your Sims' careers, and/or complete their lifelong aspirations. Lifelong aspirations are like a box of chocolates — you never know what you're gonna get. This adds an element of randomness that can make your story even more interesting.

The Sims 3: Try to reach the top level of your Sims' careers, and/or fulfill their lifetime wishes. Personally, I enjoy randomizing my Sims’ traits rather than selecting them manually. However, as always, you should do what is the most fun for you.

The Sims 4: Try to reach the top level of your Sims' careers, and complete all milestones for at least one aspiration per Sim.

If you're looking for more structure / optional challenges, simslegacychallenge.com is a fantastic resource. Pick and choose whichever rules you like best.

General Advice:  To keep it fresh, consider choosing a different career/aspiration/etc. for each generation. Also, make sure to save often and create backups of your game at least once per generation — hopefully you will not need them. During my playthrough, The Sims 3 became corrupted and all of my sims stopped aging. 😢 Do not underestimate the time commitment that you’re making - Legacy Challenges can easily take hundreds of hours to complete.

Mini 1-2-3-4 Challenge: Don’t want to commit to 10 generations? Try the mini version:

1 generation in TS1

1 generation in TS2

1 generation in TS3

1 generation in TS4

This shorter version still spans multiple generations and games, but it’s quicker to complete!

Thanks for reading. Have fun telling your story!

This challenge was created (with love) by Pambikin and SilentxxBunny in February 2025.

Installing Scriptorium for Legacy Users

So you're a Sims 2 Legacy player who wanted to install some modular stairs? Maybe a lighting mod? You installed Scriptorium and you enter your game and suddenly your foundation is missing or crashes your game whenever you try to place it. Or maybe your pools and rooves have fences in them?

(images sourced from Lazy Duchess Discord server)

WTF did I do?

You've broken your script files!

Currently they look like this:

When they should look like this:

What do the script files do?

They give the game instructions and settings for certain build items that are generated by the game engine such as walls, foundations, pools, modular stairs, fireplaces, rooves, awnings and more. Lighting also uses scripts for some things. Some of these items require the scripts to display in catalog or at all.

How did this happen??

So i've seen two different ways, firstly, the auto installer installs in the wrong location. So what does the player do? They moves the files into the correct location.

The issue with this is the script files that Scriptorium creates when it can't find your game files are missing ALL of the original script lines. Then when you replace your existing script files with these, you basically are replacing your script files with a blank one (minus the Scriptorium lines).

Second way, when manually installing, the player deletes the contents of the original script files and replaces it with the Scriptorium lines.

This results in the same outcome shown in the example script.

Why does this affect only Legacy players?

Legacy uses different file paths. Scriptorium was last updated after M&G came out. The auto installer was made to work with the discs in both their original and compilation file paths. For example, Double Deluxe\Base or Sims 2, or Fun with Pets\SP9 etc. All other versions up until this point have used these paths so they never experienced this issue. EA decided to do something different this time and go by EP/SP numbers. So the installer gets confused and places them in the wrong place.

How do I fix this??

A few options, reinstall or repair your game, or replace the broken script files with the ones below. Place them in your C:\Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 2 Legacy\Base\TSData\Res\Catalog\Scripts folder. You may need to delete the files first that you are replacing and cut and paste the new ones in.

Download Original Scripts

But I still want to use Scriptorium?

Once you have replaced your broken scripts, follow these manual instructions that I have modified from the original Scriptorium post for Legacy users.

Go to C:\Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 2 Legacy\Base\TSData\Res\Catalog\Scripts

And open the fireplaces.txt and copy and paste the line below at the bottom of this file without deleting the existing text.

wildInclude "Scriptorium_Fireplaces*.*"

Then save.

If you have issues with saving due to permissions, cut and paste the files to desktop while you are editing them and move them back after

Next open modularstairs.txt and add the text below

wildInclude "Scriptorium_ModularStairs*.*"

Then open walls.txt and add the text below

wildInclude "Scriptorium_Walls-Fences-Arches*.*"

While remaining in your Scripts folder, Create 3 new folders and call them

Scriptorium_Fireplaces Scriptorium_ModularStairs Scriptorium_Walls-Fences-Arches

Select these 3 folders and right click and choose copy.

Now go to Documents\EA Games\Sims 2 Legacy\Downloads (if you do not have a Downloads folder, create one)

Then right click and press paste shortcut

If you want to use custom lights as well, follow these steps

If your lighting.txt is also empty, this is a copy of the original version

Download Lighting Script

Go to C:\Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 2 Legacy\Base\TSData\Res\Lights

Open lighting.txt and add

wildInclude "Scriptorium_CustomLights*.nlo"

While still in the Lights folder Create a folder called Scriptorium_CustomLights If you already have a folder called CEP3_CustomLights, rename it to Scriptorium_CustomLights

Right click on this folder and copy it

Then go to Documents\EA Games\Sims 2 Legacy\Downloads and paste shortcut

And you are all done :D
