SAMSUNG FRAME TV IN THE SIMS 4??!

today i take a look at the two newest kits that were released TODAY!!

[asixteenthrose]

Sims 4 LEPacy (v.2) (Updated for Horse Ranch!)

A challenge inspired by @simpishly‘s sims 3 LEPacy, the Sims 4 LEPacy is a way to explore The Sims 4 GP’s and EP’s in a way you might not have before. I will update it as new packs come out.

The number/order of generations is only a suggestion. If you feel you have explored everything in pack, feel free to skip that generation. You can also play in any order.

Some generations have more freedom than others, such as Spa Day. If an aspiration or career is not specified, you can choose anything, though I encourage doing something you haven’t played much of before.

To give yourself more of a challenge, turn off the packs you aren’t playing with. Help to do this is at jamesturner.yt

Stuff pack release order will be placed between generations if you want to activate them as released.

Feel free to adapt and change the challenge as your creativity dictates! I’ve always seen challenge rules more as guidelines than actual rules, and this is no different. 

Due to the length of the challenge you will likely have to change to new saves a few times. Bear that in mind when switching generations/moving to new towns. (Edit 4 August 2021: I also highly recommend combining generations as you see fit. Seasons and Cottage Living may go well together, for instance.)

Let me know if you do this challenge because I’d love to see it!

(Original Sims 4 version by lemonjellysims can be found here)

Huge thank you to the incredible @engramplays for helping and refining

✿ The Home Sweet Home Legacy Challenge ✿

Info ✿

Use the tag #HSHLegacy so I can see your posts!!

If there are any rules that you don’t vibe with, just skip over them!

Some of the rules are centered around gameplay and some are more story-based!

You don’t have to complete aspirations or max out careers if you don’t want to, unless it’s otherwise specified in the generation’s rules!

Play with any lifespan you prefer.

Read one generation ahead to get all of the information you need!

Mods are allowed and encouraged; especially ones that make the game more realistic. I’ve linked a couple mods in some generations that can add to the gameplay! 

If you have the more traits in cas mod, pick whatever extra traits you think would fit your sim!

Rules for the generations under the cut ✿

GENERATION ONE ✿

You were raised in the city by strict parents who pushed you to be the best student in school. Despite your ambitious nature you hated the fact that you had no autonomy or free time. When you became a young adult you packed up your belongings, your pet and your limited funds and you moved to the countryside. Your cottage is rundown and outdated…it’s going to take a lot of work (and money) to make it a home. You quickly realize you might not actually be cut out for this life, but you are too stubborn and proud to give up and move back in with your parents.

Traits: Squeamish, Ambitious, High Maintenance

Aspiration: Country Caretaker OR Freelance Botanist

Career: Start with a part time job and/or odd jobs until your sim ages up into an adult, then settle into a full time job of your choice. To make additional money, you can also sell harvestables from your garden or your farm animals (if you want to go down that route!)

Starting Out: Start in Henford-on-Bagley with your pet in a small, rundown cottage with 2-3 bedrooms. You can use money cheats at this point, but remember: small rundown cottage…don’t use those extra funds for nice appliances!! When your house is done, set your funds to 450.

Rules: 

Your lot must have the ‘simple living’ lot trait

Reach level 5 in: Handiness, Cooking and Gardening

Befriend a few locals

Meet and fall in love with an outdoorsy sim with a large tight knit family 

Spend every holiday with your partner’s family, and have a solid relationship with most (if not all) of them

Have 2 kids

Take a vacation for every sim’s birthday (if you can’t afford it, throw a birthday party on a public lot instead)

Renovate the cottage over time (get new appliances, wallpaper/flooring, etc.)

Optional Rules:

Play with the ‘off the grid’ lot trait

Max out Handiness, Cooking and/or Gardening

Make the sim’s parents and make them have a negative relationship 

GENERATION TWO ✿

You grew up in a small, quiet town. After hearing about your parent’s childhood in the city, you were inspired to give it a try. You say goodbye to your loving family and set out for San Myshuno. You find an apartment and a part time job, then you get a few roommates to help with the bills. When you are faced with an accidental pregnancy, your roommates rally in support.

Traits: Loyal, Creative, Slob

Aspiration: City Native OR Painter Extraordinaire

Career: Max out the Retail part time job before quitting and selling paintings full time

Starting Out: Move into an apartment in San Myshuno with 2-3 roommates (you can use the roommate feature but I recommend actually having them in the household!)

Rules:

Max the painting skill

Have Game Night, or something similar, once a week with your roomies

Have an accidental pregnancy after a one night stand (if your sim can’t become pregnant and the other sim can, move the baby into your household when they’re born!)

Raise your kid as a single parent (with the help of your roomies)

Once your child becomes a teen, move out into your own place (it could be in San Myshuno or another world)

Marry as an elder

Optional Rules: 

As an elder, marry the sim you had a one night stand with (that ultimately resulted in the birth of your child)

Become famous (because of your paintings)

GENERATION THREE ✿

Just as the expression goes, it took a village to raise you. You were a wild, rebellious child with a love for athletics. Even though you were surrounded by love as a kid (not just from your biological family, but from your parent’s roommates) you always wanted to have siblings. You end up marrying one of your childhood best friends and you settle down in a quiet neighborhood.

Traits: Family Oriented, Hot Headed, Athletic

Aspiration: Big Happy Family

Career: Athletic 

Starting Out: Move into a house in a world of your choice with your partner.

Rules:

Max the parenting skill and the athletic skill

Have 4 children

Reach the summit of Mt. Komorebi at some point in your life

Be a hands-on parent: play with your kids, build them a treehouse, throw birthday parties, be as involved as possible in their lives

Go through rough patches with your spouse due to your anger issues

Eventually decide to get a divorce after trying to make it work (or if you have RPO, you can opt for separation instead)

You and your ex-spouse must live on the same lot and continue to raise your kids together

Sleep in your workout shed in the backyard

Optional Rules:

Remarry your ex-spouse

Reach level 5 of the handiness skill

GENERATION FOUR ✿

Although you and your siblings were loved by your parents, the living situation after their divorce was not ideal. Because of that, you vowed to never get married. You head off to university immediately after graduation and start on your path toward success.

Traits: Ambitious, Noncommittal, Genius

Aspiration: Fabulously Wealthy OR Academic

Career: Business OR Politics

Starting Out: Enroll in University and move into a dorm

Rules:

Max the research and debate skill, and the logic skill

Reach the top of your career

Get the best possible grades throughout your life

Have at least two romantic relationships at all times…you are never faithful to one sim

Have two kids with two different partners

(Hesitantly) become official with one of your flings and move in together

When your partner proposes, reject them and have them move out

Go on a post-breakup trip with your kids to Sulani

Rarely discipline your children. In fact, rarely interact with them

Optional Rules:

Never retire

Move at least three times

GENERATION FIVE ✿

Growing up, your parent was pretty distant and you never had a great relationship with them. They were always working, talking about work, or spending time with their significant others. One of your favorite memories of your childhood was your trip to Sulani. You and your sibling decide to move out together and live there permanently. It’s rough living in a new place with limited funds, but the two of you have some creative solutions.

Traits: Loyal, Bro, Kleptomaniac

Aspiration: Party Animal

Career: Criminal

Starting Out: Move into a small house in Sulani with your sibling. 

Rules: 

Max the charisma skill

Reach the top of your career

Earn money from the criminal career, stealing and pickpocketing 

Always maintain a close relationship with your sibling (who can also follow in your criminal footsteps, or work part time / odd jobs instead)

Throw parties regularly and pickpocket the whole time

Have a rivalry with another criminal that turns into love at some point 

Your sibling eventually moves out…and your partner moves in!

Have one child

Have a super tacky over the top wedding

Optional Rules:

 Max the mischief skill

(If you have this mod, you can pickpocket when your sim is younger! If you have Basemental you can also become a dealer to make money. If you have this mod, I recommend using the enemies to lovers interactions!)

And that’s all for now! I’m breaking this up into two parts, so the next five generations will be coming sometime (fairly) soon!

Getting Ready For Patch Day 💚

before the patch to-do list; Mac & PC

Remove important files - move your tray and saves folders that are inside of your Sims 4 folder to your desktop.

Remove mods folder - everything that affects core game behavior. In other words, if it makes the game function differently, move to your desktop.

Delete the file localthumbcache.package from your Sims 4 folder. Clear caches, old last exception files and anything that does not belong in the game files.

once updated start the game vanilla with no mods, let the game generate new save, tray and mods folders.

Do NOT put any mods back in game until they are cleared for the patch or have been updated.

Test mods in a vanilla save; starting with visual overhauls, lighting mods etc, then big mods such as MCCC, UI cheats. Next all of those smaller mods can be tested (small batches is easiest if you have a lot of mods) and lastly defaults. CC can go in after your mods have been tested, and try to implement them in small batches testing your vanilla save you made as you add things to make sure everything is functioning as expected.

After everything is tested and working you can add your save files and tray files from your desktop into your game (take the files out of the desktop folder to the new version in your Sims 4 folder)

•  If you don’t want to deal with things breaking right away, turn off automatic game updates.

Mac: Go to Origin > Application settings and look for the heading Client Update and make sure it is grayed out to turn off auto updates.

PC: Go to EA App > top left three dots > settings > download tab and find the heading Updates and make sure the switch is black to turn off auto updates, blue is on.

Then, go into offline mode through Origin or EA App before you start your game. It won’t prompt you for an update.

•  Last but not least, please please please be patient with the amazing creators of custom content and mods. Quite a few things will probably break and need updating to work with the game after patches. Give them the time they need to get everything back to working order, they are people just like you.

↪  Status Updates on Mods - Luthienrising always makes a new thread for each patch to follow mod status', link at the top of their page
