If you decide to give this challenge a whirl, I’d love if you tagged your posts with #LEPacy or #LEPacy Challenge so I can follow along. Questions, comments, suggestions? Click here.

Focus on the expansion pack content, too: play with minimal custom content and/or Stuff Packs.

Move your LEPacy family from Sunset Valley to Twinbrook, to Bridgeport, to Appaloosa Plains, to Starlight Shores, to Moonlight Falls, to Isla Paradiso.

Don’t forget the worlds that came with the EPs.

Reinstall the next EP only after you complete your current Sim’s Lifetime Wish!

Feeling brave? Back up your files and uninstall everything but the base game.

Don’t feel obligated to stick to what I’ve outlined above! For example, if you own Pets but have played with it often, or if you’ve completed every LTW that came with the EP, don’t devote a whole generation to it–unless you want to! Though do not count on visual changes, its new behavioral interactions will make you feel closer to your family and even fictitious promises to continue addictive, or even more. Though do not count on visual changes, its new behavioral interactions The Sims 3: Generations manages to bring the game even more realistic.

Since this challenge asks you to try out Wishes you’ve previously passed over, and because not everyone owns the same combination of EPs, a LEPacy will change from player to player. The Sims 3: Generations manages to bring the game even more realistic. Feel you’ve explored that EP enough? Move on to your next heir and the next EP on your list!Īnd that’s it. Want to explore some more? Assign your next generation heir a LTW from the same EP and try again, or resurrect your dead heir and have another go. If your heir dies before finishing their Lifetime Wish, what you do next is up to you. It doesn’t matter–just try to focus on an individual EP with each generation.Ī “generation” is completed when the Lifetime Wish is fulfilled. You can also play alongside the official Legacy Challenge Rules, or you can use cheats and mods and custom content galore.

Play the expansion packs in release order, or swap them around! Some EPs might lend themselves to others. As an example, the “Surrounded by Family” LTW might go well with Generations, while something outdoorsy, like “The Perfect Garden” LTW, would pair nicely with Seasons. *Neither Generations nor Seasons came with any new Lifetime Wishes, so treat them as freebies–either skip those generations entirely, or pick a LTW from any other EP. So, if you own all the EPs, you’re looking at 10 - 12 generations. The number of generations you’re aiming for is, ideally, the base game + the number of expansion packs you own. The primary goal of each generation is to fulfill a Lifetime Wish you haven’t done before–and, of course, to find a way to carry on the family name to the next generation. The LEPacy dares you to explore all the things you’ve ignored! It’s so easy to fall into a rut while playing and miss out on what each individual EP has to offer.

A Sims 3 LEPacy is a legacy-style challenge focusing heavily on the content and features of each expansion pack.
