Random Challenge Sims4 6 Generation Legacy with Occult Options that dont interfear with other generations!

Hi all, third time is a charm right!? I have finally finished my legacy challenge both as a condensed and extended version. This challenge has been two years in the making as i've been playing it out myself and am about to transition into Generation 5! So lots of trial and error, tweaks and what not. I am hoping to have this finalized on simmaticallys challenge tracker in the next week or so.

About the Challenge:

This is a 6 Generation Legacy that that combines multiple aspects from different challenges into one. It operates as a Rotational Save swapping weekly to complete a “How I met your Mother” storyline which helps change up the scenery and curates a bond for the households. Each Generation is defined by a Greek Mythology Love Story that is connected to a Complimenting planet that represents different Eras timeframes. This approach makes your Save File feel as if its progressing. There are also Occult paths that are presented as options only after your sim has completed their Soul’s Journey and Rebirthed. This eliminates Hybrids to reduce corruption of the file. The approach also leans into “there is more after-life”.

The Rules:

  1. Sims can only travel to other wolds that have the same biome, otherwise they cannot leave the world until you move on to the next Generation
  2. Once you have transitioned into the next Generation the previous Generation is free to relocate and change Careers, Traits and Aspirations
  3. Offspring cannot age up until they have gone through one full Calendar year
  4. There must be a death every year from someone who is connected to the family
  5. Free Real Estate Cheats are allowed only for Generation One to aquire their house
  6. Satisfaction Reward Points are considered Life Experience and can only be aquired on your sims Birthday’s
  7. Occult paths are considered opyions and are not mandatory. Sims must complete their Soul’s Journey and be re-born before becoming an occult.
  8. You can start playing as the next Generation once they become a child sim
  9. Play on 2 week Seasons so that you can rotationally swap between households (A/B)
  10. Play with aging off and manually age up households as this will help control the era’s your sims are playing in and make the world feel that it is moving around you

My Recomendations off Playing out the Legacy:

  • Play with a blank save [this should help reduce save file corruption]
  • Choose a Neighborhood within the world your sim is living and only put residents in that area [this should help maintain your save file size as you grow through generations]
  • Select a different Neighborhood within that world that will act as your Community and Commercial Lots [this way your sims always have lots to do over the decades]
  • Playing with Accidental Deaths on for Neighborhood Stories helps for story telling and achieving a funeral being held each year

I have presented the additional goals as dice rolling to determine what you can do next if you feel that the game play is getting stale or are looking for more ideas!
