Short Legacy Challenge

Disclaimer: This is a spin off of the original legacy challenges, of which there are many. As such, this challenge has been created to suit our facebook group challenge with varied goals.


Challenge Goal: To live the lives of at least 5 generations on a short life span with a legacy carried on through all generations. Each generation should aim to complete one of the first five tasks, and as an extra challenge one of the optional ones too!


Share your progress in our Facebook group with #shorylegacygroupchallenge


Set Up:

  1. Set your game play aging to "short" life span.

  2. Find out what your legacy is going to be using the wheel spinner: https://pickerwheel.com/pw?id=JwyDE Note that the two legacies with * (currently the Famous legacy and the Travelling legacy) require add-on packs for almost all of the tasks. Most other legacies have been used using the base game content with the optional tasks coming from the packs.

  3. Create an adult sim (who is not counted as part of the 5 generations) with a toddler. The toddler is going to be your first generation. Starting them as a toddler gives you the chance to get the bonuses from completing the toddler skills and the child skills and aspirations. If you choose to skip this step, start your first generation sim as a teen.
