There are MANY reasons to have a nice big dog for a pet. The first on the list is PROTECTION.

It looks like Van may be rethinking this!

i’ve gotten a couple of asks about how to stick to a legacy challenge, and i’ve answered one before but it was a mess of rambles i wrote at 2am. here’s a more structured version! plus, i’ve only ever stuck to one legacy, so i’m not very qualified for this 😭

if you don’t know which legacy to start out with, i think the best one to try out is the random legacy challenge. with this one, instead of playing one with all ten generations set out for you, you’ll never know what's coming!

simsrandom is the website that i use to come up with the parameters for my legacy. it gives you everything you need to follow for each generation.

i think one of the main things is getting attached to your founder. you need to be invested in the sim to make you want to play! i’ve started many gameplays before where i stop playing after a week. but with my macmahon legacy, i really started to love gael!

i made gael based off the legacy parameters that i rolled. if i wasn’t using the generator, i would never had made a sim like him!

i’ve never played the game with a mean sim before, and seeing as he rolled the ‘fighter’ parameter, he had to beat up someone every week. it really helped to build a personality for him, which i also think is important to becoming attached to a sim.

it was really fun to go for traits that i never use! it gave a new layer of entertainment to the game.

another thing is using the right mods to add lots of content to the game! there are so many game-changing mods that i really recommend to anyone starting out the challenge.

here is a list of the mods that i recommend

i don’t really know what else to say honestly! i think it’s just a matter of actually liking the sim you’re playing with and enjoying the story you’re going for with them. if i think of anything else, i’ll add it to the post. i hope this helps the people who have asked!!

not sure that I fully understood the caveats of Themed Display as I was playing. the way that simsrandom has it:

The display must contain at least 10 items, plant and craft level excellent or higher, from at least two different collections or craft disciplines, and must contain at least one craft and one collected item. 

...now that I’m reading that again, I definitely didn’t do that right, but WHATEVERRR it’s too late now, have some of Haruki trying to find some wild frogs

One should probably get to know the dog, before making out with the owner!

i honestly just choose whoever i like more! no set rule, just pick whoever you think you’re gonna have more fun playing with. 

i used to have this happen with child sims but it somehow fixed itself, so sorry i’m not sure how to help you. i hope you got the answer from someone else though

i can recommend simsrandom, it can give you a base for a storyline!!

don’t get bogged down by storylines, though. the most important thing to do when playing with your current household is have fun. if you like the sims and are enjoying playing with them, a story will eventually fall into place naturally.

have a look through acuar-io’s new gameplay guide! it’s got bunches of mods on there that can refresh the experience. something on there might spark your creativity

i love you anon tysm 🥺❤️ when i got this you made my day seriously

Omg I’m in love with your legacy!! The picture quality, the storyline, the sims… UGH!! Sorry for blowing up your notifications but I couldn’t help but catch up on one sitting.

Also THANK YOU for sharing the post with the simsrandom generator! I’ve been in a sims runt lately and have been having trouble switching up my gameplay. This will force me to change up my gameplay style and hopefully have less boring sims lol

omg thank you for your lovely message 😭😭 and don't worry i love getting the notif spams and when people read the legacy!! i'm so happy you took the time to catch up from the start 🥺

i'm glad that the post helped you! while i was writing it i kinda thought that i was just rambling again and it wasn't going to help anyone 😅
