introducing - the sims 2 lepacy challenge!

what is a lepacy? a lepacy is a generational challenge based on exploring a different expansion pack for each new generation. it’s an opportunity to explore things you may have missed previously, and use content you never normally would! wait, how can you do this in the sims 2? true, it’s hard to just complete a randomly generated aspiration and then call it a day so instead i’ve created a list of goals below and once they’re all completed (and the heir has become an adult/young adult for university) you can then move on to the next generation okay, you’ve got my interest. how does it work? so the primary goal is to complete a legacy in the sims 2. create a sim, start a family and find a way to keep the family going. how you do that is up to you. if you own all expansion packs you’ll be looking at 9 generations: 1. base game 2. university 3. nightlife 4. open for business 5. pets 6. seasons 7. bon voyage 8. freetime 9. apartment life traditionally speaking you’d play them in order, but feel free to switch it up a little. and of course there are stuff packs - that’s up to you if you want to install them alongside an ep!

just a few final notes! we all know the sims 2 is a game trying it’s best and it’s buggy to say the least - if you need to use mods to get the game to run somewhat normally then go for it! also if you want to set a lifetime wish manually using blender or simpe to match the generation you’re playing then that’s also fine in my eyes! a note about moving neighbourhoods! i know it’s super glitchy and can be a bit chaotic so if you’d like to keep your sim in the starter hood for the entirety of the challenge then that is completely fine!! - update 4th june 2022 removed ‘marry a service sim’ from base game to be more flexible to either non-single sim starts/single sims aiming to get abducted update 5th june 2022 added ‘join a greek house and throw a toga party’ to university update 4th july 2023 removed ‘plan a honeymoon’ from bon voyage to be more flexible to sims wanting to remain single update 19th july 2023 removed ‘meet a sim from each social group’ from apartment life as there is no reasonable way to track this

this is not my challenge i'm just copy pasting the rules i found b/c the original blog is deleted and it's hard to read after the 'keep reading' cut

url change: spaceysims --> womratcage

not that I’m a particularly active blog, but just in case!

shoutout to the person who is now @spaceysims !!! (I had my url changed for approximately two minutes before someone took it, ahahaha) and a forewarning, during my time with the url, I had a ton of asks and messages asking if I was the creator of a piece of cc, there’s another spaceysims out there and people got confused

I brought John a womrat. John: Awww he’s so cute! John: I’m gonna ignore him now for the next two semesters.

Speaking of which, it’s the end of this one.

Newson, Garret and Lourdes Lourdes wonders if she should knock off the kid-making and get a job. Of some kind. She'd probably make a pretty good kindergarten teacher. But she’s so close to having six... No school today, but Garret has to work. He surprises the kids with a fun breakfast to make up for it.

wait, how can you do this in the sims 2? true, it’s hard to just complete a randomly generated aspiration and then call it a day so instead i’ve created a list of goals below and once they’re all completed (and the heir has become an adult/young adult for university) you can then move on to the next generation

okay, you’ve got my interest. how does it work? so the primary goal is to complete a legacy in the sims 2. create a sim, start a family and find a way to keep the family going. how you do that is up to you. if you own all expansion packs you’ll be looking at 9 generations:-

1. base game 2. university 3. nightlife 4. open for business 5. pets 6. seasons 7. bon voyage 8. freetime 9. apartment life

traditionally speaking you’d play them in order, but feel free to switch it up a little. and of course there are stuff packs - that’s up to you if you want to install them alongside an ep!

how did you come up with this? sheer will and determination nah i’m kidding. i’ve now completed a lepacy in the sims 3 and the sims 4, and i really wanted to try and complete one in the sims 2 but i struggled to find a ruleset that worked fully for me. i’ve taken huuuuge inspiration from @simpishly @anneliesembsims and this forum post but all i did was just tidy things up a little to my own liking

how do you technically make this work? so you can do this the “hardcore” way which is to back up your game, and play just the base game. reinstall the ep once you get to it. if you have the ultimate collection you can try to work out the anygame starter or if you still have disks you can do it the old fashioned way. or if you’re like me and taking advantage of the abandonware the individual games come in folders so i’ll just add the folders in as/when required !!this is still being playtested so any feedback is well received!!

okay nerd, are you gonna get to the rules or not? that’s fair, i’ve never been able to shut up so here we go - the sims 2 lepacy! !!once again this is still being playtested so any feedback is well received!!
