Just another legacy where Maxis contents must be revered and sims must ventures into the world of the unknown.
Readers are encourage to get involve! See mini-challenges.
Background & Restrictions:
Spoiler:
This is just a basic legacy that follows only one guideline: Maxis contents only! Or rather only the Maxis objects available from all the expansions. The only exceptions are custom hair, clothes, genetics, makeup and accessories for sim’s aesthetics. For build mode, only custom wall, floors, and roofs are allowed since they don’t affect the game in any way. Recolors of Maxis’ objects and builds are allowed. This only applies to the home lot. Sim may use CC objects already existed on community lots.
Ever since playing TS2 those many wonderful years ago, I had always used custom contents because they’re more appealing to me. Most players have no problems playing the original contents but I’ve found out over the years how difficult it was for myself.
This is especially true for toddler objects because there’s so many helpful contents out there to make life a little easier for me and my sims. I.e. toddler blanket, toddler bed, etc. Whenever I see a lot with Maxis contents (MCs), I tend to remove them and add CCs instead. Whenever I try to play with strictly MCs contents, I easily slip up and ended up using CCs instead.
So this legacy is a challenge to test my resolve and willpower to resist CCs (not that it’s really working with all the mods and aesthetic contents I allow for my sims, lol) and maybe discover fun and interesting things I never knew about Maxis contents, if there is any. I also want to play with contents that I knew about but never tried. I.e. the Cowplant and career rewards. Please don’t be shocked.
So, as readers, I highly encourage you to recommend things to try in the legacy that you want to see me try. And trust me, there’s A LOT of things I have never tried. It is disgusting actually, now that I think of it. I’ve been playing for over a decade and yet this game is still new to me. In fact, it’s only recently (Lovesworth’s Legacy) that I started playing with witches.
The scoring system follows the original core version of Pinstar’s Legacy Challenge. In addition to that, the following will also count.
- .5 point for every “illegal” CC on the lot
+ 1 point for every mini-challenge completed
+ 1 point for every heirs/heiresses/founder painting on the lot (Max at 10)
9-10-14: With the exception of Aya, every sims in this legacy must use Maxis’s content for clothes, hair, and makeup (basically their aesthetics). This does not include anything genetic (besides hair) because I can’t go in and fix those. Default replacement for hairs and clothes are acceptable as most are maxis match and I have not used them despite having installed them to make them more bearable to use.

My goal is to try new things in the game that I've never touched or dared to try. Therefore, whenever someone recommend me something to try, it will be considered a challenge if I chose to try it. Trust me, there is A LOT of things I never tried, so please don't hesitate to comment. Chances are, I've never done it.
1ST Challenge: "So, my challenge to you is, have an artist at some point during your legacy, give the artist a theme, and then, once he/she reaches level 5 in creativity, make that sim paint nothing but custom paintings, that have something to do with that theme, from then on. Also, save at least 10 of those paintings until the end of the legacy, and keep a record of their starting value, vs. their final value, due to appreciation." - MichelleCYoung
