[Blood-Splattered Sundress]

I do them every now and then. I'm currently doing one, but I haven't had the time to update or play much lately.

I always use kaching...

I've never heard of legacies before this thread...

The main hood I play is my Legacy hood. I liked the idea of challege it added to my game.

No cheating, you can only marry the Heir to Townies, you have to do all the chance cards, and the heir must be related by blood to the original Founder.

I'm on generation four (although the fifth generation has been born already-- one of the fifth gen kids just turned into a teen while the other fourth gen ones are just heading to college.)

It's neat to see who still has the original founder eyes. One branch of the family have huge noses. And as they get older, cousins start to move apart.

I'm up to the generation where I can start some inbreeding now. blaugh

I'm trying to start one... But I never know what to write x3 Plus, I like my Sims so much that I never let them reach the Elder age. Seriously, I have never played with an Elder Sim ever since I've bought the game.

what is a legacy exactly? a story of sim generation to generation?

I've wanted to make a legacy family, but there are just to many danged rules for me. I just don't seem to be able to stay away from the cheats.
And I've always been bad at remembering to take pictures too.

I believe this will be a good challenge.

Original Rules: http://forums.thesimsresource.com/showthread.php?t=303808

Updated rules: http://www.legacychallenge.com/

Started as a way to make the base game more interesting. I started it then with the base game. I put the game down for over a year or so, and have only recently gotten back into it.

You don't have to write a story about them. Many people do, but I find my legacy is REALLY boring. xd There are some good stories based off legacies. I go on the TSR forums and read those Legacies. Some people get into it, creating villains and making mini- soap operas.

You don't have to follow the rules if you don't want to. I do my legacy to entertain myself. I cheat every now and then and I dont play for points and stuff. I also forgot to take pictures in the beginning, now I cant stop taking them every second XD.

I used to be like that, never played them any longer than adult. I always had the aging off cheat on. Now if I have a sim I really like I save him/her so that I can play with him/her outside of the legacy.

So far I've started three legacies. The first one called the Crayson legacy I reached generation 5 then I quit it because I got bored. Then I started a new one called the Donaghy legacy. On generation 3 the house glitched and I lost everything. So I started a new one called the Zavastky legacy, which is the one I'm currently playing. I'm on generation 2, and is soon to choose the heir.

I also read a lot of other peoples legacies. They're a lot of fun.
