New TS4 Legacy Challenge

Unlike my base game legacy (found here), this legacy challenge goes through a whole bunch of packs. It is obviously pizza themed, and I had a lot of fun putting it together.

This challenge really requires you to start off as a teen, because your first step is getting accepted into one of the prestigious degree programs. You can cheat the skills needed to obtain this if you must, but it's more fun starting as a teen anyway. It's also meant to be played in order, as the generations are heavily influenced by the generation preceding it.

If you'd like a pdf version of this for tracking rules/requirements, you can find it here. Otherwise, check out the details below!

Generation 1: Margherita - The Traveler

You’ve always wanted to explore the world and learn everything you can about, well, everything. You attend university and get all the awards, and then spend your life traveling to exotic locales and soaking up as much as you can. Some say your wandering spirit is exhausting, but you wouldn’t live your life any other way.

Tasks:

Get accepted into a prestigious degree program

Graduate with honors

Unlock all hidden locations in Selvadorada

Go to Batuu

Go hiking in Mt. Komorebi & take pictures at the shrine

Max Selvadoradian Culture skill

Learn all the recipes from the San Myshuno food stalls

World: San Myshuno – start off in a cheap apartment, but you can upgrade when you make more money. Bonus points if you decorate with collectibles from your travels!

Career: Freelancer (your choice of specialty)

Aspiration: City Native & Archaeology Scholar

Children: 1 biological (parent is from Selvadorada – up to you if you marry them or not), and 1 adopted

Traits: Adventurous, Foodie, Genius

Skills: Archaeology, Photography, Selvadoradian Culture, Research & Debate

Generation 2: Pepperoni - Total Traditionalist

You lived your life bouncing around from place to place, and you’re ready for some stability. You’re grateful for the experiences you’ve had, but hate that you never really had lifelong friends or a hometown. Once you have kids, you’re constantly bickering with your parents about the best way to raise them – they believe that you need to show them the world, and you think the value of a steady lifestyle is just as important. You’re not really a fan of spontaneity, but sometimes old habits just die hard.

Tasks:

Have 3 children (doesn’t matter if biological or adopted)

Have a routine and stick to it (example: you always meet with your bowling club on Thursdays, go to the gym every Tuesday, and have dinner as a family at 6 pm every night)

Have a family tradition (tip – use the Seasons calendar for this)

Have an affair in adulthood

Have a low relationship with your parent(s) after the birth of your first child

Reach at least level 8 in parenting

Optional: go to university

World: Willow Creek, Oasis Springs, or Newcrest

Career: Business or Salaryperson

Aspiration: Big Happy Family

Children: 3

Traits: Gloomy, Neat, Snob

Skills: Parenting, Bowling, Piano

Generation 3: Hawaiian - Funky & a little fresh

Growing up, you were always closest to your grandparent. Your parents weren’t really interested in travel and exploration, but you’ve always been fascinated by your grandparent’s stories. In fact, you think those stories really need to be told, and you want to be the one to do it. Hearing them talk about their life inspires you to have a little adventure of your own.

Tasks:

Get to know all the locals & marry a townie.

Write books to supplement your income. Once you unlock the autobiography, write one about your grandparent.

Visit your grandparent at least once a week (or have them visit you).

Clean up Sulani and see the turtles hatch at least once

Attend all the Sulani festivals you can

Snorkel & befriend a dolphin

Lead at least one yoga class on the beach

World: Sulani

Career: Conservationist (as much as you love writing, you think having it as a job would kill your passion. That being said, you wouldn’t mind if one of your books got super famous and let you retire…).

Aspiration: Bestselling Author

Children: at least one child

Traits: Child of the Islands, Creative, Outgoing

Skills: Writing, Fishing, Wellness

Generation 4: Veggie Lover's - Going Green

You loved growing up in Sulani and always felt so connected to nature. You prefer plants to people most days, and love spending time in your extensive garden. You’ve always wanted to experience actual seasons, however, so you bid a bittersweet farewell to your hometown and move to a small cottage by the sea.

Tasks:

Have a large garden

Marry a townie

Go all out for the major holidays (Harvestfest, Spooky Day, Winterfest)

Take at least 2 vacations in Granite Falls

Grow a cowplant or a death flower

Optional: build a community garden in your world and name it after yourself or your family

Career: Floral Arrangement

Aspiration: Freelance Botanist

Children: at least 2 children

Traits: Loves the Outdoors, Bookworm, Socially Awkward

Skills: Gardening, Baking

Generation 5: Meat Lover's - All about the Protein

You’ve always been a very active sim, mostly because playing outside and running around was such a large part of your youth. You love your hometown, but when an opportunity arises to play professionally somewhere else, you can’t pass it up. You have fun and enjoy being such a big success, but as you get older you start missing home more and more. You decide to say goodbye to the high life and move back home to open a gym.

Tasks:

Have a best friend in childhood and throughout teen years. Drift apart when you move.

Reach at least fame level 3

Build a gym in your hometown when you move back

Have at least 1 dog

Have at least 1 child out of wedlock

Marry as YA, but must divorce. Get married to the love of your life when you move back home in adulthood (childhood friend) and have another child.

Career: Professional Athlete

Aspiration: Bodybuilder

Children: At least 2 children

Traits: Active, Bro, Dog Lover

Skills: Fitness, Mixology, Pet Training

Generation 6: Supreme - Jack of all Trades, Master of None

Inspired by stories of your ancestors, you decide you want to experience all life has to offer. But instead of feeling like an inspirational globe-trotter, you feel more like a lost soul. Nothing you try really ever agrees with you, and you’ve never been fully able to decide what you want to do with your life. Settling down terrifies you, because you always feel like you’ll miss out on the next best thing. You finally find your niche in adulthood, but the road was definitely not easy.

Tasks:

Try out 3 wildly different styles in high school (example: nerdy phase, preppy phase, skater phase)

Have an after-school job in high school

Travel to Selvadorada but don’t buy any preparation gear (you’re always woefully unprepared). End up cutting the vacation short and going back home.

Have 2 failed serious relationships before marriage

Don’t marry until adulthood

Have enough satisfaction points to buy the re-traiting potion in adulthood

World: You start off in 1 of the 3 worlds that you didn’t pick for Generation 2, but end up moving to StrangerVille after hearing some interesting stories.

Career: you can pick the first 2, but you end up in the military career.

Aspiration: Renaissance Sim, then StrangerVille Mystery

Children: at least 1 child

Traits: Noncommittal, Squeamish, Lazy. Take re-traiting potion in adulthood and remove noncommittal and lazy. You can replace them with whatever you want. Leave squeamish (you’ve finally accepted that a life of jungle-trekking is not for you).

Skills: Fitness, Logic

Generation 7: Buffalo Chicken - A Slightly Spicy Life

Watching your parent take so long to figure out their life made you certain that you would never make the same mistakes. You’ve always known what you wanted, and will do whatever it takes to get there. Life has a funny way of throwing surprises at you, though, and sometimes it ends up being for the best.

Tasks:

Be involved in an after-school activity or club related to your future career

Go to university in a degree related to the field that you want to work in

While in university, either you or your SO gets pregnant

Drop out of university when you realize you can’t manage parenthood on top of your full schedule

Work part-time until your baby becomes a child, then go back to school

Graduate with honors and join the career you’ve always wanted

After a few promotions, you realize that you hate it and miss being a parent and a spouse. Quit your job and spend the rest of your time making money by skill (you can choose, but it must be a money-making skill, not an actual job)

When your kid becomes a teen, surprise them with a vacation to Mt. Komorebi

Stay with the parent of your child(ren) for your whole life (they’re your soulmate, even if they did completely derail your career plans)

World: Choose from – 1 of the 3 you didn’t choose in Gen. 2 or 5, Britechester, Copperdale, Tartosa, Henford-on-Bagley, Windenburg

Career: Your choice, but must strive for this starting at childhood (i.e. actor takes drama classes, scientist takes STEM or chess)

Aspiration: Academic (DO NOT FINISH, put on hold when you drop out) > Soulmate > Academic

Children: At least 1 child

Traits: Ambitious, Overachiever, Family-Oriented

Skills: Charisma, Research & Debate

Generation 8: BBQ Chicken Bacon - A Little Experimental

You’ve always appreciated how your parents sacrificed so much to give you a good upbringing, even putting their own dreams on hold so that you could have a happy childhood. They’ve given you freedom to explore your own dreams, and once you find some success you want to pay them back somehow. A trip to Mt. Komorebi on your teen birthday made you fall in love with the town and the food scene, and you decide to move there as a young adult.

Tasks:

Gain at least 1 level of fame

Spend at least $20,000 of your own money to renovate your parents house or move them to a nicer house (you can use money cheats to decrease your funds)

Get to at least level 8 of skiing, snowboarding, or rock-climbing

Finish an expedition to the top of the mountain

Woohoo in the cave on the mountain

Optional: open a restaurant

World: Mt. Komorebi

Traits: Good, Art Lover (if your parent was a painter, have some of their works hanging in your house. Otherwise, have some of your own), Self-Assured

Skills: Skiing, Snowboarding or Rock-climbing; Cooking; Painting (if your parent was not a painter)

Generation 9: Cheese - No Room for Mistakes

Growing up with a semi-famous parent taught you the value of networking and people skills. In the real world, it’s not what you know, but who you know, and you mean to take every advantage of the connections you already have. Using those connections as leverage, you want to become an influential politician and devote your life to bettering your community. You’re not very humble, and you can be tad materialistic, but your real friends know that you have everyone’s best interests at heart… deep down, at least.

Tasks:

Live in a suburban house with a white picket fence

Steal from your own campaign fund at least once

Graduate from university

Have a party at least once a week

Have a dog (bonus points if it’s a golden retriever)

Your spouse has an affair and you find out. Stay with them to avoid the scandal.

Do not have a close relationship with your children.

World: Any world not used in Gen. 6

Career: Politician

Aspiration: Party Animal

Children: 2 biological children (any more must be adopted. Obviously you’ll broadcast the adoption for good PR)

Traits: Materialistic, Self-Absorbed, Insider

Generation 10: Calzone - Different, but still Great

The black sheep. You’ve always been expected to be great, and do great things, but that’s never really interested you. Your parents’ constant need to keep up with the Jones’es was exhausting, and you hate the façade. You get into some trouble as a kid, but ultimately turn it around and mend fences.

Tasks:

Have a major goth or emo phase in high school

Reach at least level 7 in handiness & mischief

In adulthood, successfully make your neighborhood green

Cheat on your high school SO and your young adult SO. Either you or your SO gets pregnant as a young adult, but you abandon the child.

Make amends with your child in adulthood (your ex isn’t so forgiving, but maybe in elder-hood you can be friends)

If you marry, marry in adulthood. It cannot be one of your exes.

Have a negative relationship with your parents as a teen and throughout your YA years. Up to you if you want to mend the relationship in adulthood.

Turn at least one of your enemies into your best friend in adulthood.

BASE GAME LEGACY

This legacy challenge is meant for those with only the base game. No DLC is required for this playthrough, and it aims to explore all facets of the base game. I tried to make each generation as unique as possible, and hopefully you even discover something new!

Want a PDF of the rules/tasks for keeping track? Click here.

Rules

Start out with $20K and purchase the largest plot of land you can find. (Oasis Springs: Acquisition Butte, Willow Creek: Oakenstead, Newcrest: Twin Oracle Point). You can start off in any of the base game worlds.

No money cheats are allowed, but I do encourage moving houses after each generation. Moving will also serve to keep household funds low, especially if you're buying and furnishing a new house every generation.

The life span should be set to normal.

There are no heir restrictions, though I recommend sticking with a theme (strict matriarchy, strict patriarchy, alternating, first born, etc.).

You can use cheats to obtain the reward traits from the beginning. If not using cheats, try to get them as soon as possible.

Generation 1: Good for Nothing

You grew up alone in the world, and had to do a lot of things you aren’t necessarily proud of to ensure your survival. You’re no stranger to petty thievery, and you’re pretty good at keeping your head down and staying in the shadows. Someone does notice, though – Nancy Landgraab. She seeks you out, and offers you a job with her crew; she needs some muscle, and someone who won’t be noticed. In exchange for your loyalty and silence, she offers you some spare acreage and a cash advance to build yourself a home. You can’t imagine ever getting a better opportunity, so you take the offer and establish your homestead. It turns out that a life of crime suits you, and you eventually rise through the ranks.

World: Any base game world.

Traits: Kleptomaniac, Loner, Mean

Reward Traits: Observant

Career: Criminal

Aspiration: Public Enemy

Skills: Mischief, Fitness

Lot Traits: Private Dwelling

Tasks:

Befriend Nancy Landgraab.

Your original $20K was half from savings, and half from Nancy. Pay her back $10K as soon as you have the funds. (You can use money cheats for this).

Reach the top of the Criminal career, either branch.

Max the Mischief skill.

Never marry, but you can have as many casual relationships as you’d like. Keep in mind that this sim is a loner, and probably not a Casanova. They’re not opposed to a little recreation with fellow criminals, though. Your child(ren) can be either adopted or natural born.

Cause the death of at least 2 sims.

Have at least 3 tattoos.

Befriend the Grim Reaper.

Complete the Public Enemy aspiration.

Have a secret room or basement for your criminal enterprise.

You must be a single parent. Other sims can move in with you, but never for longer than a week.

Optional: Have an affair with Nancy.

Generation 2: Good at Everything

You ever hear the term ‘wasted potential’ used to describe somebody? You ever hear it used to describe yourself? All your life, you’ve been able to pick up new skills fast. You’re a quick learner with a quick wit, and your parent always told you that you’d have a better life someday. But having a criminal for a parent doesn’t exactly open a lot of doors. Your classes in school are boring, so you don’t see the point in going, and you’re not at one of those places with teachers who actually care about their students and want to see them succeed. You’re prone to bouts of moodiness when you think about how your life could have been different, so you spend the majority of your time drowning your thoughts in music to escape.

World: Any base game world

Traits: Gloomy, Music Lover, Slob

Reward Traits: Savant

Career: Entertainer

Lot Traits: Great Acoustics

Skip at least 4 days of work (these can be spread out).

Get demoted or fired at least once.

Never clean anything in your house. When you have children, they can clean, but you don’t mind living in filth.

Never have more than $5K at a time. Whenever you have excess funds, buy something lavish and unnecessary (new hot tub, anyone?).

You do not need to reach the top of the Musician career branch in the Entertainer career. Honestly, it makes more sense if you don’t.

Get divorced at least once.

Your children/partners can cook for you, but you can only make: grilled cheese, mac & cheese, eggs & toast, BLTs, pancakes, and spaghetti.

Bonus: Complete the Grilled Cheese aspiration.

Generation 3: Turning it Around

Your family lineage isn’t exactly anything to be proud of. The family motto seems to be “if it’s not easy, it’s not meant to be” and everyone seems happy to live by it. But you’re different. You watched your parent struggle with their lack of success, and you want to show them that things don’t have to be so hard all the time. You want to be successful, and you’ll do anything to get there.

When your parent ages to an elder, have them move in with you. You know they’re not going to take care of themselves…

Generation 4: Follow YOUR Dreams

Hearing the stories of how your parent came from nothing and worked hard to achieve their dreams was always an inspiration to you, but you always felt like you got along better with your grandparent. You were ecstatic when they moved in, and they always encouraged you to follow your heart. Your parents wanted you to go to university and get a practical career, but you’ve always been happiest playing sports. Much to your parents’ chagrin, you join the athletic career right out of high school and are determined to make a name for yourself as a professional athlete.

Bonus: Complete the Anglin’ Ace Aspiration.

Generation 5: Master of the Arts

Your parents always encouraged you to follow your dreams, and you admired their picture-perfect relationship. One day, you caught your parent cheating, and it was like your entire world shifted. You were asked to keep it secret, and you’ve harbored guilt for it ever since. You find that the best way to express yourself is through painting and photography, but you have difficulties controlling your emotions and it lasts through adulthood. You are reluctant to let anyone get close, because you don’t want to be made a fool of if they end up cheating on you. You make a name for yourself in the art world, and decide that your lack of romantic companionship won’t stop you from carrying on the family name, and you decide to adopt a child (or have a science baby). Their purity and innocence inspires you to be better, and you strive to be the best parent you can be.

World: Any base game world

Generation 6: Space Explorer

Your parent was a dreamer with their head in the clouds, but you’ve always been a bit more grounded. Fascinated by space, your goal is to one day actually reach the stars and see what’s out there. Spending all your time on another planet is detrimental to some of your relationships, and you’re faced with a tough decision. You can’t bear the thought of missing out on regular space missions, but you don’t want to lose everyone you care about either. Can you find a healthy medium, or will you be forced to sacrifice one dream for another?

Have at least 2 children.

Reach the top level of the Astronaut career.

Generation 7: All About Food

Your childhood definitely had some rough patches in regards to your parents’ relationship, but you never let that get you down. Some people may think of you as overly positive, but you can’t help it if things just don’t bother you the way they bother other people. You loved cooking for your family as a child, and decide that your dream is to work with food forever. Your parents warned you that monetizing your hobby would make you hate it, but you enter the culinary career and never regret it. You consider yourself extremely blessed, and though you’re a little more accident-prone than most and may accidentally start a fire or two, you wouldn’t have your life any other way.

Generation 8: Lost in Cyberspace

Growing up, you always loved hearing the stories of your grandparent’s adventures in space. Leaving the planet sounds like a little too much adventure for you, but you’re totally cool with having those expeditions in the safety of video games and books. For a while, your parents are concerned with the amount of time you spend on your computer, but when your hobby starts bringing in extra income, they realize that the internet is the future. You can code anything, hack anything, and beat any level of any video game, and you can’t believe that you actually get to make a living doing what you love. Your spouse is as nerdy as you are, and the two of you know that you can conquer the (virtual) world as long as you’re together.

Generation 10: The Archivist

As a class project, you were tasked with recording your family’s genealogy. The more you discovered, the more fascinated you became. You feel like the world needs to hear their stories, and you decide that you’ll be the one to share them. When you’re not out in the garden, you can be found holed up at your desk, fingers flying over the keyboard as you document your family history. Your spouse thinks you’re a little obsessed, but they love that about you anyway. You dream of living a life that measures up to your predecessors, and can only hope that one day someone will write about you in the same way.
