Hello!
In my last post, I wrapped up the college adventure saga after the last few sims of that generation (roughly) graduated. It was time to finish with that story pattern, and now it is time to attempt something else. Now that I am comfortable taking photos in-game and uploading here, I am going to start what every simmer must attempt at some point: a legacy challenge. It might sound unoriginal but I’m hoping it won’t be! I’ve never tried one (not even without documenting it) and I’m choosing to follow the advanced legacy rules (written by Pinstar: https://simslegacychallenge.com/legacy-challenge-rules/sims-2-legacy-challenge-rules-advanced/) as well as selecting some handicaps (https://simslegacychallenge.com/legacy-challenge-rules/sims-2-legacy-challenge-rules-advanced/sims-2-legacy-challenge-handicaps/).


-‘True Love’ (because I only let sims marry if they have three lightning bolts anyway)
-‘Free roaming ghosts’ (I tend to let them roam anyway)
-‘Patriarchy’ (simply because I don’t want to lose the name ‘L’Amour’ and I like having girls, so it will be a nice change to HAVE to have at least one boy)
-‘Green Thumb’- (because I am terrible at keeping flowers alive; it will be a challenge)
-‘Middle of Nowhere’- (because it sounds really hard and therefore exciting)
I’m also adding a restriction concerning food- the family must only grow or fish their own food, never have it delivered. I’ll let them eat the new fridge food but won’t buy a new one in order to restock it. I think this just fits with the Middle of Nowhere handicap.
The planned themes of this legacy are love, science (Phillip’s OTH) and nature. Phillip is going to have a whole new fresh start on a massive lot and garden and stargaze his days away whilst building up his legacy house. So without further ado, I introduce…
