Let’s see, you’ve heard this one before. There are so many challenges, so what’s one more right. It’s important to let your sims live their best life. With so much to consider where do you begin. A good idea is the rules, the best ideas negate them… I digress, having parameters in this case is part of the fun.
- Obvious… Do Not Let The Heir Die!
- No Money Cheats, unless you want to start at zero, generally the less you cheat the better!
- Career – try a few jobs before the main career
- Som gens are required to attend University (if you have it). Choose this at random not everyone studies for what they eventually do.
- Relationships – try a few relationships before settling
- Leave something behind: Into each generation a homemade gift.
- Children can be blended (Natural, adopted, stepchildren, science)
- Traits – There are 2 set traits.
- For the 3rd you can roll 3 times, but you CAN NOT change backwards so veto with care, the 3rd roll is final!
- Likes and Dislikes: The answer is always yes, even if you need it for the challenge.
- Style and Colour choices can be set in CAS for all gens.
- Ready for the next heir?
- Split the money equally between the household members
- Could you tag me? I would love to follow your wonderful stories. I am on Twitter and Facebook @Loukia13D or the legacy tag #Sims4fill
