You can use The Legacy Challenge’s very own Random Trait Generator.Īs you can see from the Random Trait Generator linked above, parents have an impact on the traits any child might obtain. When children are born or adopted into the family, their traits and aspirations must be randomly generated. Any Sim that joins the family must either be a randomly generated townie or a child that is either born or adopted into the family. Your Legacy Challenge founder is the only Sim you will have complete control over. There are some rules and guidelines you may follow as well. Each category has different and unique challenge that pushes your Simming skills to the limit, like completing large amounts of aspirations across the family or witnessing every single type of death on your lot. There are 10 categories of points modeled after the 10 aspirations. For the storytellers out there The Legacy Challenge is the perfect blend of familiarity and novelty Sims come and go but the house remains, slowly growing and gathering a long history of its own.įor those who play to win, the challenge is ripe with goals and milestones above and beyond the challenges presented to you by the game. Playing this way, you might find yourself starting to get emotionally invested in not just individual Sims, but the family as a whole. The Legacy Challenge adds an extra degree of difficulty to The Sims while tasking you with doing something that most players do not do naturally- sticking with a single household for a long period of time. I had NO idea this would explode in popularity the way that it did. On a whim, I decided to write all the rules down and publish them on The Sims 2 forums. I had no formal rules, but started discovering little challenges that made things interesting. When I started The Legacy Challenge, I was playing on my own. I learned from the Brokes that a family in poverty with resources stretched thin is actually MORE interesting to play. This was an extremely difficult start compared to other families but for me it was the most interesting and satisfying. Brandi Broke starts out as a single mother with two children and begins the game pregnant! Pretty soon Brandi will have three kids, very little money and a very difficult teenage son. Of all the pre-seeded families provided in the original version of The Sims 2, the one family I LOVED playing the most is one that gets very little attention: The Brokes. What inspired me to create the Legacy Challenge is threefold. The Legacy Challenge has been around since the days of The Sims 2.
Beginning life penniless, homeless, jobless and without any family, your starting Sim or “founder,” starts the process of building a family that will go on for 10 full generations! You start the game with a single young adult Sim, move them into a gigantic and completely empty lot and strip them of most of their starting funds. You may have heard of The Legacy Challenge, a self-imposed set of rules and goals that challenges you to approach The Sims from a very different play style.
