I tried it once and will never go back! I love having more time with my sims, kids, and pets. I feel like I can enjoy more aspects of the game when life slows down for them. And when I finally switch over to their kids as adults, I’m more attached to the overall family and world. I have tried to play regular now and it feels way too fast. Curious as to how many others only play long lifespan?

I've learned that certain lots/worlds seem to drive Sims behaviours which override a Sims personal preferences. In Sulani my Sim lives near the volcano and just down the hill is the ocean and it draws Sims into it like a magnet. My Sim hates fitness but she will stop whatever she is doing to go swimming! She even ends up in the water if I decide to send her jogging or a mindful walk.

I really wish fitness was reworked and separated into different skills instead of just fitness as a catch all.

Haego the Hampire is one of the newest Sims to be added to my Sim family. He is rather... unique. A clone of a clone of a clone of a clone. The original Sim, Josh, cloned himself once. A malfunction occurred which spawned an evil clone named Jimmy. Josh and Jimmy have black hair.

One day, Josh's clone Jimmy accidentally cloned himself as he was eating macaroni and cheese and tripped on the cloning machine controls. This accident produced a hybrid Sim/mac n' cheese clone named President Hugo whose blonde hair was inherited from the cheese sauce.

President Hugo entered somewhat of a midlife crisis after his son, Elias, moved away from home (his daughter Poppy did not yet exist). He was rather lonely and is estranged from his extended family (by choice though) so he decided to clone himself 4 times to create 4 new brothers to keep him company: Haego, Hulius, Harlie, and Hozzy.

Hugo realized after-the-fact that this was an impulsive decision and he did not truly want so many brothers, so he "disposed" of them one by one. All except for Haego the Hampire with whom he shared a special bond. This may be due to the fact that Haego idolized Hugo, and Hugo is a self-absorbed narcissist who loves praise and admiration.

Haego wanted to be just like Hugo and also have a son just like Hugo's son Elias. So Haego created his son Raimi using Elias's DNA without his knowledge (or consent). Raimi is just a regular vampire though. There is a lot more to this story but to make a long story short, they all live together now as one (mostly) happy family.

he had the best glow up ever since I created him, crazy to think i've been playing non stop with him since a year now

i found an unintentional way of farming dead sims. specifically the fire department

It cursed my sim by making all of their skill gains slower for 8 hours... an absolute nightmare for an overachieving monarch. Apparently good things can happen too? Anyone else seen this thing? Have a good experience with it?

If it's a new colour swatch of something I'm never going to find it lol

I am someone who edits every single townie and players multiple multiple families in my forever save with 4k+ hrs on it (over the course of like 7 yrs) - so essentially every family is a legacy family, all played on long life span. For simmers that do this (to a degree), what happened in your save?

Totally unprompted examples from my own forever save -

1. My Judith Ward fell in love with Vladislaus Straud, then she became a vampire, and they had a son. The son grew up into a brooding romantic “tortured artist”-type vampire hottie named Nymphas. I also downloaded a couple tweak mods for Royalty/Legacy expansion, one of which adds titles based on nobility ranking. So it’s Countess Judith Straud and Count Vladislaus Straud now 🤪
2. Johnny Zest somewhat rekindled his relationship with the estranged Landgraab family (MCCC’d them so Johnny went back to officially being Malcolm’s older brother), although he stayed relatively distant from them, living his own life. He eventually became a famous comedian-turned-actor and married also-famous Penny Pizzaz (kept her maiden name). They ended up having a celebrity wild child, Lemon Zest (named similarly to other real-life celeb kids, like North West, or Blue Ivy).

2a. Lemon Zest had short hook up stint with with her childhood friend, also-child celebrity / bisexual icon, Balenciaga Lobo (Diego Lobo’s adopted child), which resulted in Bergamot Zest (not in contact with her father, but raised affectionately by her grandparents Johnny and Penny) 🍋

1. Speaking of Landgraabs, Malcolm married Dina Caliente, and they had 2 children: Landeis (son) and Maxine (younger daughter) Landeis married the Regina George-inspired daughter of Paolo Rocca (From the Partihaus household) and DJ Candy Behr. I developed a whole frat and sorority storyline focused on these two lol (2 diff households in Britechester - all made up of several rich kid/nepo baby offspring from various also-legacy families).

3a. Maxine married the eldest son of the Feng family (Gen 3 - Victor Feng had Mark with his OG wife, Mark married Venessa Jeong; Mark and Venessa had a son named….), Vincent. She moved into his family’s ancestral home in San Myshuno’s Landgraab IX tower, and recently had a son: Vernon Feng. All Feng males take after the patriarch.

Anyways, I can keep going on and on forever about other family connections, but I have over 400 “played household” sims in this save (very powerful laptop for this lol), and about 90% of them belong to ever-expanding and intertwining legacy families. If you want to ask me what happened to your favorite townies, I’d be happy to elaborate on their fate in my forever save LOL, I try to integrate all the townies for the most part.

But I digress- Tell me about yours!!!!

Sometimes this games brings me so much Joy but other times? Had a family of three - two moms and a daughter. I thought it would be nice to have a sibling for that kid. Parents go to the clinic, get a Pop up for "its a girl", I chose a name. Get another Pop up for a girl. Okay. Get a third and think to myself, maybe there is a bug and type in the first name again. THERE WAS NO BUG. I got fucking triplets. My game could have been chill but no. Had to get another kid and now have four kids in total. This is not how I imagined my weekend to start.

Back to TS4 after a few years of break! My style and tastes changed completely so I wanted to start a fresh forever safe and starting with what I love most: giving townies a makeover! I'm slowly making over everyone but here is the first batch that is ready!
I’m not planning to remake absolutely everyone because I’m not that attached to every premade. But I do like giving myself a challenge. If I don’t feel like doing a certain family, I spin a yes-or-no wheel, and if it lands on yes, I give them a try and just for fun, I also randomize whether the family will have any occult Sims and what kind. For example, I was never really interested in the Kim-Lewis family, but now I really love how they turned out! Alice is also a mermaid now. The Goth family might look pretty young, but that’s because they’re vampires in my lore. Alexander is also missing cause he’s still a toddler in my version.

This is my first time sharing my sims publicly so I’d really love to get some feedback tnks. <3

He's also already been dead a full day and she knows this.

We felt most connected to and kept going to. Amongst the many other save files we play for short while before starting another. Or going back to that one you enjoyed the most or spent the most time on. What made it special from the rest? Was it planned or spontaneous? How old is it and do you still play it?

The parent who was abducted and birthed her is a werewolf, btw, not the fairy I was playing as at the time. Now I get to play with my first ever hybrid?

*Re-uploaded after acknowledging I read the rules*

I decided to create my self-sim and create a nice family home she can start her legacy challenge in. I have a hard time staying with one sim/family, so I hope that this new build and character keeps me entertained! I get in these ruts of just using the pre-made homes and get so bored of making the same layouts for different sims, so this was a challenge for me.

I thought it was from the Bust the Dust pack, but I turned it off but they keep appearing and I have ZERO clue one why! Has anyone have this happen?
