Become a Sims 4 Legacy Challenge player with these 10 essential tips 📝 

If you want this as a tumblr post, please tell me and I’ll write it up for you. Part 2 will be out in the next few days. This video is like a podcast style video,. I wanted it to be more chill if that’s okay 💕 I wish you an amazing day take care🫶🏾

I have a legacy save but I’ve done over 25 generations since the game came out. I’ve tried starting a new save but I just can’t devote to them like I do to the family I’ve had since the start. 💙

I'll try this. I'm the kind of player who can barely get through 2 generations before I start a new game so this will be interesting.

Cheating can also actually help you make the game more interesting. For instance sometime I get bored if my Sims are super rich, so occasionally it's fun to imagine that they have bene fined or robbed, or some renovations on their house cost a lot more than the game says it did.

I was scrolling through the game's achievements one day and realized that there's an achievement for having 100 generations in a singe family so I decided to shoot for that. I don't reakon many folks have heard of that one, let alone accomplished it. It took me a looooong time to do it, mind you and I did three scenarios, and about five different legacy challenges while doing it but I managed to get it done. I was so excited that I put up the adult versions of gen 1 and get 100 onto the gallery. I'm now doing the Super Sim challenge which requires loyalty to one sim and not a family.

Currently on Gen 30 of my save. I personally love using a spreadsheet to track things. Definitely gives a sense of accomplishment.

This is for me because I am the simmer that start new saves after 2-3 gens lollllll but omg I can't believe you completed the nightmare legacy!! it is a nightmare!!! I think I might finally retry UI cheats and challenge myself to play a full 10 gens. Thanks for all the tips Sashaa!

I’ve just started a random-ish legacy and this video hit the spot!! I’ve decided to play on normal lifespan and roughly follow the “rules”. If I don’t quite complete everything, it’s fine 😂. I’m randomising traits, aspirations, careers, children and life events using the Plumbobber and random legacy roller. I’ve decided I’m not going to repeat careers or aspirations so I can explore all aspects of the game. Adding fun lots from the gallery is a MUST and UI cheats is my friend 😂 Thanks for this 😊

I’m just beginning Gen 3 of my legacy, and i’ve never made it this far fr. I’m so proud. I do cheat a bit and i don’t always complete the challenge. But it’s fun.

I had to restart my legacy as I lost a four gen game due to corruption, looking back on this vid reminds me to keeping going with my current game ♥️

Thank you for this video! I’ve created my own legacy challenge and it’s a 15 generation challenge! I’m excited to see how far I get 😂

Thank you sooo much did the tips Sasha! I am definitely ready to try to complete some legacies! You’re a gem for this! I truly appreciate it 💛💛

Great tips Sasha! And I completely agree about giving some sims negative traits, I think people can get tired of their legacy so fast because they try to make every sim a fantastic, unflawed person and that's just not realistic lol! Also huge congratulations on hitting 2k subs!!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉💓💓

Honestly, where are your subs? This was a very nice video, I watched it until the end. You have 300+ videos and only 2910 subscribers? I don't understand. Your voice is very soothing and it's nice to listen to you. I hope that the algorithm suggests you to more people like it did to me today! :)

I managed to do 13 generations, and I'm damn proud of myself. I'm still playing with that family, but on a new save, because I felt like that save was starting to lag a bit to much. I don't think I'll ever play without the descendants of that family tbh

really loved the style of this video!!! appreciated all the tips and think this is great to help people get more involved in their gameplay! we can say whatever we want about TS4 but at the end of the day, we can do so much with making it our own!

The legacy challenge I am really into right now is called going solo! You have to complete every career and every aspiration in the game without competing any so one aspiration and career per generation. Your sim isn’t allowed To marry but must become the parent of one kid! I am loving it and I’m sure I’ll complete it!

I have startd my own legancy challege with my first sim

One can go urn and tombstone hunting and create a graveyard in their backyard. Then, add the haunted challenge to the lot. Having a dozen ghosts come visiting you at night can be fun.

Thanks for this video! I just started a new legacy save and wanted some ideas to keep it going. One thing I love doing is using a cute presentation template on canva and blogging my sims lives as if they were doing a lil story of it , with screenshots etc

Gen 8 is absolutely gorgeous!

I really like to listen to this video because it inspires me to play myself. I already have a legacy (I’am on gen 3) and they have 4 kids and a dog and a cat they have recently moved to brindelton bay from coperdale!❤

I have a few saves but one i call my main is on 16 generations now.

This is the first vid of yours that I’ve watched. Do you have a video series on this legacy? If so, I’d love to watch it. I tried to find it in your playlist but didn’t see anything. (I found your Occult baby challenge though and am currently watching it since I’m doing that challenge as well. Your series is delightfully unhinged.)

Thank you sasha I needed this video. You know Im struggling to get passed Gen 2. Love the tips I am going to start a new Legacy Now this is Bible!! I don't know what happened to my first comment lol But I loved the video so much bestie I am watching it again and maybe again🤣💕💕

I have like 50+ saves, most of which are legacys.. I am doing a royal legacy challenge at the moment, but I don’t think I just want to stick to just that, don’t really enjoy it anyway, I’m going to make a normal legacy. This one is gonna be the one. I’m going to make my own save file for it, have a story for the founder, along with some family members of theirs. Also I’m gonna scrap being a full storyteller and not having aging on, it will be normal life span, I’ll place down buildings in the worlds I have, I am so motivated to do this. I am going to add families from the gallery into my world instead of npcs. THIS 👏 WILL 👏 BE 👏 THE 👏 ONE 👏‼️(I hope 🙂)

Doing a nightmare ABC legacy. You've gotta move fast! Love it

I love your laugh sm

I’ve started the legacy challenge just recently. Base game only dlc I have right now is city living. SO I try to also make my sims of the next gen, super sims. You know with the maxed skills and aspirations before aging ANNNNNDDDD GAAAAAALEEEE THIS TAKES FOREVER DUDDEEE IM ONLY ON THE SECOND GEN. I’m having fun though and I’m finding myself pretty attached but at some point n time ima have to cut ties!😂

I might have to give it a go again 😅

Mine was a challenge, I just started off with a sim and played her life. Then I blinked and I was almost 5 gens in. I said that I have to continue. Now I’m on gen 8 😂

Great ideas. I have done this in Sims 3. Love doing the legacy challenge. But my way. I even had a sim fall in love with a vampire. Family was devastated. Sim had to start a new life becoming a vampire and starting her own family.

I mostly watched this video out of curiosity, lol. i am more rotational than "legacy" player. 10 isn't even that many generations to me as I can easily do 10 gens of 20 familes in rotation. One of the BIG reasons I loved Sims 2 (I am on OLD school sims player) was the introduction of the life and death cycle. The idea of abandoning my Sims and starting over just wasn't a thing I even considered, I basically played the same rotation through Sims 2 til the computer that held them died and then I pretty much had to mourn there loss before I could play any sims game. Everytime a new baby is born, I am so curious what there life will be the idea if seeing it just keeps me wanting to go with the same sims. When For Rent jacked up my save I sepnt months recovering it and I have to go back a generation to do so but the idea of just 'starting over' was abhorrent to me. As a creative writer I just never bore of following/creating a new story with a new life and intersecting those stories with rotations will never not be fun to me. i also ADORE the history created by a long-lived save with characters who have naturally intersected and gotten to know each other. And characters who grow old together even and pass on having lived amazing lives.

THE HOUSEEE😭

Loved the video ! Made me want to play again. Why is your oasis spring so different?

This was the best. It was the oooh Chile for meeee💀💀💀😂😂

I don't know how to commit to short lifespan. I get way too attatched, even aging up the kids.

I am curious! I am also ready to learn and become a legacy player. I have the attention span of a goldfish-bowl so we'll see!!!

love our video! what map replacements art are you using?

I did this with science baby/aging with cake in 10 different household and achieved all the generation related achievements in like a day or two. I'm not sure if I can call this legit, but I didn't use cheats nor mods.

I don't know how y'all do this, i get bored after playing for three hrs or I don't even make it out of CAS 😬

The number of times I just boost needs with UI cheats just a wee bit, I rarely fill them but if my sim is on a date and they won't get flirty because they need a pee?...imma pretend they went to the bathroom and just save time 😂

Right now in my sims generation challenge. I am trying to do Abc kids. First child A name, second B name, third C name. It's not based on generation. It's based on generational wealth and skills just to be able to move out. Edit: I am on F right now (gen 3). With Z I am going to start the 100 baby challenge and name the kids numbers.

ive been playing the sims since 2017 and have only made it to 6 gens but im currently trying to get to 10 😅😅

The sims is so much funner now that I actually let them have negative shit happen to them and don't try to make their lives perfect lmao 😂 I have never ever done a legacy before but I'd love to and maybe now I finally will!?

The map override is gorgeous. What mod is that?

I wish I would have watched this sooner. I'm 5 generations in and they've stayed in the same home and they have so much money and so much stuff 🤦‍♀️

Im gonna get a laptop for my birthday n ill try to do a legacy challenge 😭 i had a laptop b4 but it broke anyway someone remind me please its next monthhh

I play on console and so if I want the game’s achievements I have to play with cheats disabled but it’s okay because I participated in the lottery found the family that won and pretended their teenage sim stole the lottery winnings and ran away to my sims household

The death of pets is why I don't play with pets haha! I get REALLY sad when they pass away

Girl there is a gameplay way to get around pets dying at least for cats and dogs I’m not sure about other animals but also you can straight up turn off auto age played households

Not momma dee popping up 😂

I used to watch my dad play the sims, and once, he had a 21 gen family…

Your video has expired me!! I’ve never even gotten my founder to die before 😭. Let me open my game rn
