hiii do you have any advice for a simmer trying to come up with a legacy challenge??

Sure! Here's a couple:

Try and find a unique angle. What makes your legacy challenge stand out from the others.

Then, go on a deep dive into the mechanics of the game and the different packs you want to include, and note down anything that stands out to you and could be interesting for your unique angle.

By chance is there is a version of your Sour Legacy Challenge rules that is text only? I’m visually impaired and my screen reader does not work well with the graphic format. The DX is a recent thing — happened during the pandemic and worsened since — so I’m new to accessibility options on my tablet/computer. I’m tech savvy, but this is a whole different world to me now and I feel bad asking, but I don’t have anyone to translate/type out things for me. Much thanks xx

Ah, I'll type it out here! Next time I make a challenge I'll keep that in mind. Have a good one!

Sour Legacy Challenge

Summary: They say trauma is cyclical and fame is fleeting. So how will one homeless, heartbroken 17-year-old with a dream affect the next 10 generations to come?

Guidelines:

Play on whichever lifespan suits your gameplay style. I'll be using Simkhira's lifespans so I can take my time with each generation. If you want a real challenge, stick to normal.

Your heirs can be whatever gender you please. Feel free to set your own heir rules, just make sure to prioritize the generational goals first.

You can sign off on each generation once you fulfill the aspiration(s), reach the top level of the career, master all the required skills, complete all the generational goals and have the next heir reach Young Adulthood (YA).

Build a graveyard where all the heirs of the legacy will rest. Keep their ghosts alive and complete the Sugar Skull collection by the end of the challenge in remembrance of them.

hey! I'm new to sims and am currently obsessed with marvel, more specifically spiderman lmao, I've been on the hunt for a cool legacy challenge that incoorperates marvel or even just spiderman/iron man but I haven't had any luck.

you're one of the only creators i've found that have really cool and obscure (?) challenges! i was wondering if you'd ever consider making a marvel/spiderman themed one? or maybe, if you had any reccs?

spiderman fans unite ✊

I can't see myself ever making a challenge like that (I'm sorry!) and I'm so far out of the sims loop that I have no recs, but you should think on that. I'm sure you could come up with something really cool!!

[dizzywhims]

Hii I loved doing the Sour legacy challenge!!! It's honestly the only legacy I've ever worked on all the way through! If it's possible, could you make a Taylor Swift legacy challenge? I've tried searching for one and the ones I find don't have as much activities and details for the generation. I would love to see your version of the Taylor Swift legacy challenge because of the amazing work you did with the Sour challenge!

Thanks, anon! I know it's sacrilege but I'm not a swiftie so that is definitely not something I'll ever do. Would love to see someone else come up with one.

[dizzywhims]

hi! I was wondering what hair cc you used for the teen-a-day day 12 (rebel) girl?

it was a simcelebrity00 hair, I do believe!

[dizzywhims]

insp.

[dizzywhims]

relatable honestly

[dizzywhims]

Hi!! I'm so sorry to bother you lovely. I finished the sour legacy challenge last week, and it was honestly my favourite legacy to play. I'm struggling to find anything that even comes close 🥺 I just wanted to ask if you've ever thought of making a new legacy challenge maybe based off Taylor swifts albums, Katie perry's maybe Billie ❤

So glad you had fun with it! You're the first person I've heard to finish it, so you win.

I would honestly love to make another legacy challenge. I'm not a Swiftie or a big Katy fan, but you might have awoken something in me with the Billie rec 👀

[dizzywhims]

take my advice and never ever give in to the overwhelming urge to delete all your cc and files when you decide to take a break
