Are you BORED of the Sims? Try the best challenge in the best game! Sims 3 Legacy Challenge Tutorial

Me on my way to break every single one of these rules specifically because I was told not to

I never seems to finish legacy challenges in Sims 3 (I have done so many fir Sims 2, and even went to Gen 19, before my hard drive got fried).

I am considering doing a lepacy challenge (but since I do not have Showtime, I will skip that, but add in some Store Worlds and some Custom Worlds to get to Gen 20). Have you ever gotten all the LTWs?

Too complicated.

It's not just about boredom of content.

It's also about..


1. PLAY SLOW. Enjoy the struggle of your sims life. DONT CHEAT. DONT USE GLITCH AND EXPLOITS.

2. Play with lore. You make your own family, you decide what each member gonna be. Roleplaying with each family member and also with the family. Example, you make your family that named "McDonald" to make a big farmer house.

3. DONT USE MODS. Especially the easy life mods. Uh i hate those.
EXCEPT if you use some mods that about quality of life and those that dont interfere with your sims life(even the sims segs mod is technically OK since they don't affect your sims life. It's only about their segs life).
ALSO DONT ADD SOME ITEMS MOD. Try to play with the vanilla items. No mod items.

But why couldn't you start with a female elder, if you're gonna do the adoption challenge anyway? Seems a bit unfair that guys are allowed but women aren't (as elders).

I think it would add some extra chsllenge to completing the life time wish in time.

I've never done a challenge as I mostly just design/build but ever since I found you, and have been playing catch up, I'm thinking I might try it now. Ty for the great content.

i already created two sims and moved on a base game house...

Sims 4 is gay af but sims 3 is the best and I only play legacy challenge

I have tried many times to do the legacy challenge. The Sims God's hate me. I have never been able to complete it because,
Fire
Game crashes
Meteorites
Robbed so many times
More fire
Electrocution (with handiness maxed)
Then the absolute worst a triple hit
Meteorite then robbed and then fire within 20 mins of gameplay.
I was off lot for the 1st hit but my Sims roomate died after the fire so it's not worth it

There's one issue I have with the rules which is unclear. The rules specifically state that Sims can't be resurrected or have their live-spans expanded or so on, but there's two things which seem unclear-

1. Does getting spared by the reaper count as getting resurrected? Like what can sometimes happen by chance?
2. If being spared is allowed, does that mean that the unlucky trait is or isn't banned?

Since Sims with Unlucky have bad things happen to them more often, but in exchange they're immune to all forms of death that aren't natural causes, because the reaper will always pity them enough to bring them back to life-

It sort of feels like the rules forget just how powerful unlucky sims can be in this context-

Once I saw any sims downloaded or created by u can’t join the family I knew I wasn’t doing this challenge

Well for me ive kept the founder lives for yearS, she's a fairy so she naturally have a ultra length lifespan. But i just keep her young adult for eternity with the fountai of youth, potions, and stuff. Ive spent some of her lifetime wish but she still has remaining around 500,000 lifetimes points

you got such a good voice for commenting

I'm very new to the TS3 and this video along with many of your other ones has helped me greatly, thank you so much! 💕

I love to play with different households as they are all different and I can switch things up when I get bored

It's really hard to pay attention to what you're saying because of the original Sims music playing lol it's good though!
Also are you Canadian???

I call my sims 3 game a "Sims Empire". I am now on my 7th generation of sim family. I started with a sim a created myself and had him marry a local in Bridgeport. I made the starting line to be at the top of their careers. Then they'd have kids who are also required to be at the top of their careers before they get married. The kids can live with a lover, but that lover must also reach the top of their careers before they can get married and have kids of their own. I am on my 7th generation now. Part of my challenge is buying all possible establishments and naming them in honor of the family name or relatives. I also built a resort that is required to be maintained by each generation. The challenge is not one sim in the bloodline or their spouse can have the same career that has already been chosen by a past family member. It's been 10 years and I haven't stopped playing sims 3 because of how I play the game.

not me watching this video like i dont have 2 berry rainbowcies waiting for me to play past gen 3

I’m currently doing a legacy challenge and I’m trying to get my sim a mate so she and her daughter can move out of the shack they’re currently in

An easy way to get cash is get the kleptomaniac trait for your sim and go and steal some fast cars, works a 100% of the time :D

Wow this is awesome. Ive never heard of this challenge before. But this is ALMOST exactly how I've played in the past

The problem is im getting bored pretty fast i tried to find a event wheel online and i tries to make a story around it

Question: are we aloud to change the age timing? I just want to make baby and Toddler ages smaller because in my opinion they're like really boring, so are we able to make changes like that?

am I colorblind or is everything that I thought was blue in the sims now grey in this video

I never start off with a female sim.... Actually I prefer playing with male sims. I can't think of a female sim I've made that wasn't a wife or a sister. Everyone plays differently

If you are going to do challenges, I really hope you post live records as well. Sims 3 is full of details and surprises, I’ve been playing it for a year and I am still constantly finding new stuff. It’s amazing.

The gym is a legacy player's best friend - or the fire station if you have Ambitions. Dammit... now I have to start a new legacy... sigh.

I’m loving this old sims content. They just have way more charm than 4

awesome vid! :)) thanks!!

I clicked on this purely because I saw jessy

your videos are so good and informative!!! definitely deserve more subs for the hard work you put into your vids! :)

Lepacy challenge is actually my favorite ☺️

not the katy perry sweet treats footage 😭😭😭 horror story

I should give this a shot! Would love to see you do one!

The only challenge i played is rag to riches and is fun. There is a challenge that i never tried yet that's called Perfect Life Challenge, created by French Sims Moon. You have to play with a sim since him or her is a baby and have them be the main character.

I had attempted a Posapocalypse challenge once. i have a world in CAW with only one living lot on which i have only placed beds, a table and a stove. the sims should then grow or catch their own food, but unfortunately they didn't survive

I do the Finch Curse Legacy challenge. Like legacy challenge but you have to roll on the death day of them and wheel the type of death

I've always wanted to play legacy challenge but I think now its a good time to start :D

I'm usually too lazy to do the point system for legacies but I do follow the rules I set for myself strictly (currently have a Strict Equality gender law + Exemplar heir law with the Confident trait). I prefer Sims 3 and 4 for legacies/rags to riches and 2 for rotations but I've done a little bit of everything in every game.
Lepacy so far has been very different since it's more about exploring the pack that the generation is on rather than rules for continuing your family. Moving worlds is encouraged, don't need to start rags to riches style if you don't want to, no real restrictions beyond "A “generation” is completed when the Lifetime Wish is fulfilled." and the LTW of course being specific to the pack you're currently on.

Nice video. Never tried a challenge like this. I wonder if World Adventures is allowed. That whole pack is a money cheat.

Legacy challenge is the ultimate classical way to play the franchise. I don't find it really interesting because I prefer playing in rotation even in sims 3. Lepacy feels more right in my alley and the completonist challenge is my challenge in that field of "only play one family forever" type of challenges.
