The Sims 4 Theme LEPacy challenge

Google doc version here

The idea behind the LEPacy challenge (originally created for Sims 3 by @simpishly was that each generation focused on a different expansion pack of the game.

When I adapted it for The Sims 4 in 2019, I did not know that this game would continue on for so long, with no end in sight. It makes for an incredibly long challenge. I’ve decided that I will no longer update that, but create a new legacy challenge with a similar idea.

With the Theme LEPacy, I have divided various Expansion, Game, and even some Stuff packs into 12 different gameplay themes. Some of these packs will show up in multiple generations because they have multiple themes in them. Each generation has options for various packs, so you do not need to have all of the packs to play them, but instead just the ones you want.

You can also adapt it to your gameplay preferences, such as skipping the Occult generation entirely if that’s not gameplay you enjoy.

I will update this challenge as needed, because future packs will no doubt fit into at least one of the themes.

Not all Stuff Packs are represented, and I also didn’t fit Spa Day in.

In the original LEPacy rules, and my Sims 4 LEPacy rules, it was suggested to wait to ‘unlock’ packs until you reached that generation. That is not necessary for this challenge. Have all the packs you want active.

Notes: If there’s no mention of a particular career/way to make money, then do what you want. Same for number of children

Optional Rules over multiple generations:

The “Family Home”

The lot you move to with your first generation becomes the “family home”. The traditional legacy rules has the family stay on one lot the whole time. Every generation has the choice to move to a new neighborhood, and all but two have the option of living in the “family home”.

Heirlooms

The Family theme generation has a rule about having an heirloom if you have Life and Death. If you want to, and you have Life and Death, have an heirloom that carries with the main family line from the first generation through to the end.

❤✧✦✧❤

Aspiration: Soulmate

Traits: Lovebug, Family-Oriented and Gloomy

(Cheats may be used to achieve that) ✧ Elope with your partner as soon as you both become Young Adults and then move to a different Neighborhood or World ✧ Have only 2 children, twins or close in age ✧ Have a date night with your partner once a week. (You may do it on random days or create custom holidays using the Calendar)

❝You’re not easy. You know that. Your sibling knows that. Your parents know that. A smarty-pants with a temper, with too many ideas and too little patience. But does that mean you can’t find the one? If your parents did it, so can you, right? I mean, not that you’re looking for someone. Or... are you?❞

You and your younger sister are two peas in a pod, even though you two are polar opposites. You, a tomboy, her, a princess. Once she graduates high school she comes to live with you at the farm. You thought it’d be just you two forever... That’s when a cute local comes along...❞

Wisteria Whisk - Part 1

Hey everyone!

First of all, I’m so sorry for being a bit later than usual. I mentioned earlier that I had a work emergency for two weeks, which left me with little time for this collection and even led to a bit of burnout. However, in the last few days, I've been working nonstop to bring this set to you. Thank you everyone for you patience! I appreciate how nice you all are! And in the meantime we're now over 17 000 followers! So thank you!

The idea for this set came from my experience creating Baker's Kitchen last year. At that time, I wanted to make a proper bakery set, but I was so excited to explore different styles that I postponed it. When I finished the Cozy Cabin Collection, I decided to start on a bakery collection, and then the news of the new pack came out—I thought it would be a perfect fit! So, I made sure to include objects that work well with the pack.

My main inspiration came from Japandi-style interiors with touches of nature. Initially, I wanted to create a floral composition, but it evolved into a set of wisteria, which inspired the name of the collection. The wisteria looks best outdoors; indoors, the shader isn't the prettiest, but it works like in-game plants and changes with the seasons (depending on the world you're in). In winter, it only has bare branches.

Since I made a full kitchen set I didn't have time exploring my ideas but I needed the islands for the bakery and I wanted to make cabinets so you'd have everything for a kitchen.

When the new pack came out, I took some time to study how the new objects work and noticed that the Sims team created specific displays for selling items in small businesses. It took me a while to figure out a way to make displays that would work with the new pack while also being compatible with retail stores. I saw that some modders made invisible small business items, which inspired me to create display trays. Anything you place on these trays will automatically be for sale. However, if you prefer a retail store setup, you can still use the larger displays without the trays.

Plus, all the display items in this set will help keep your food fresh for longer!

Sorry for being this long, I felt like I wanted to explain everything. Now I'm onto the next part as quickly as possible! I want to focus on the baker side of the shop now!

The Set Includes

Cabinet

Counter

Island

Refrigerated Display (2 sizes)

Refrigerated Display Case

Display Tray With Price Tag (Businesses & Hobbies)

Wisteria (7 variations including wall and ceiling)

-DOWNLOAD HERE- Public release on the 18th of April 6PM CST
