Beyond that and not using any money cheats, I don’t really have any hard rules for my legacy family. In TS4, I’ll be remaining strictly traditional, in that there must be an unbroken bloodline, but I’ll be giving my sims equality among their children that anyone, boys or girls, can become heir or heiress. In TS3, I played a Strictly Traditional Matriarchy (the founder and all succeeding heiresses must be female, unless no female is born that generation, and able to trace an unbroken bloodline back to the founder), and I reached the 23rd generation in the legacy household with 305 direct descendants before moving to the Sims 4. In TS2, I played a Strictly Traditional Patriarchy (the founder and all succeeding heirs must be male, unless no male is born that generation, and able to trace an unbroken bloodline back to the founder), and I reached the 6th generation in the legacy household with 154 direct descendants (playing every spare of the family, some of which reached the 8th generation, in addition to playing the legacy household). I follow a modified version of it myself, without any of the point calculations. As for how I haven’t gotten bored and have stuck with them this long, what can I say? I just enjoy playing out my legacy and seeing just how long it can go. Q: How did you keep your family going for so many generations?ĭespite more problems with my game in TS3 than I can ever count, between moving neighborhoods, backing up my saves, and ensuring I had copies of my legacy heirs saved to my library, my family endured, against all of TS3’s numerous attempts to destroy them. Our Sims 3 heiress and River’s little sister, Taytum Evelyn Day-Eastwood, will continue on in the Sims 3, but her story and those of her descendants will go unwritten. Now with the Sims 4 out, I’ve recreated generation 22 heiress River Aspen Hudson (née Day) with her family as our founder in the new age of the legacy. Kristine and Bradley started their lives in a two bedroom starter home in Sunset Valley, and thus began my legacy.

I separated the family, moving Mom and Dad, as elders, to a little one bedroom house of their own and moving Shannon and Valorie to share a two bedroom house a few blocks away. Mom and Dad (Thomas and Debra Taylor), their three girls (Valorie, Shannon, and Kristine), and Kristine’s husband (Bradley Gaudinier). Thirty generations ago, I created the Taylor family in the Sims 3.
