2.0 - A New Generation

This chapter was suppose to go out two weeks ago. Unfortunately, despite being on vacation, I ended up with a cold. So I've spent the past couple weeks curled up in bed. Pregnancy and sickness are not a good combo.

My Sims 4 Random Legacy can be found here.

*Waves hand* Hey guys! I'm still around, even though I haven't been very active lately. I've been incredibly busy with real life stuff. Between work and family, I just haven't been able to find time for much, until this weekend. Phew. I'm almost caught up with everybody's legacies again (still struggling to catch up with the Winterly's and melynx's legacy, but I'm getting there)!

If all goes well, the next Marquel update will not be too far off either.

Call me Ann, or ConDre/condre.

Hi, I'm new here, but I've been a fan of the Sims since the Sims 1

I've tried to do legacies in the past, but something always seems to go wrong. I hope it won't happen this time round...

Good to hear from you Ann! Real life gets tricky sometimes.

Hi new person! Welcome to the challenge! The RLC was my first legacy as well, but all these years later, it has not lost its appeal. Let us know if we can help out or clarify anything for you.

There is one thing that needs clarifying: Does the founder/heir need to complete their lifetime wish as well as the generation goal?

And I managed to write up the first part of my legacy!

Sorry if there's grammar mistakes. It's late and my brain has stopped working D:

If you rolled Fulfilled as the Generation Goal, you must complete your founder/heir's LTW. Otherwise nothing in the rules requires it.

Thank you, sorry for being a noob D:

Also, my game really hates me right now. It's crashed on me twice in the space of half an hour. I keep having to save every five minutes...

Make that three times.

Are you kidding me? I've just lost my save file. :///////

Edit: Found it. Thank God, I would have cried if it was really gone D:

Just a tip I read once: apparently it's much better to use 'save as' instead of 'save' when saving your game. Apparently saving over the same save file several times makes it prone to corruption, so it's safer to create a new one each time you save. Yes, that takes more disc space, but you can simply go in and delete old saves you're not likely to use anymore.

Also, about your crashes, @slashbanghorror, are you using nraas mods like overwatch and errortrap? Those can help prevent a lot of things that cause lag and crashes. (That is, if those crashes are due to something within the game. Maybe you're just running low on RAM?)

#15718 Old 12th Mar 2018 at 11:52 PM
Ah, that sounds like a good idea I’ll give it a try next time.

And I’m not using any mods. I had a mod installed with made witches learn spells faster, but that’s about it. I’ll check my RAM and everything, as well as give my laptop a good clean out. It’s pretty old D:

Anyway, my first Gen Two spawn is nearly a child how is everyone else’s legacy doing?

Welcome to the challenge, slashbanghorror! I'll parrot melynx and suggest you take a look at the Nraas mods - especially Story Progression, in addition to the ones melynx mentioned, since you mentioned you've had issues with legacies in the past. Story Progression will help keep your town balanced and prevent it from stagnating, which makes playing a legacy challenge much smoother.

Call me Ann, or ConDre/condre.

Agreeing with @ConvictedDreamer ! @slashbanghorror , a few pages back we were discussing useful mods for legacy gameplay in this thread. Might be a good idea to check it out! Definitely get StoryProgression though
@Keyneky Looking forward to that update!

In the meanwhile, I've got a new one up:

Gen 8 Ch 3: To the Future

ITF spoilers if you've never seen Oasis Landing, I guess! No spoilers about the ITF narrative and opportunity chains though, I completely ignored those for the story XD

So, I’ve installed the Overwatch and Story Progression mods, and loaded up the game to check that they are installed.

However, I have thought of something else. Usually, when the game crashes, I move to a new neighbourhood and everything fixes itself. I’ll move my Sims to a new neighbourhood and see if that works, too.

Thanks for the tips, everyone :D

Ahhhh, I've got the next chapter up, but it's not the best one and I'm not too happy about it: http://toolsieplaysthesims3.blogspo...ur-toddler.html

It's because I got too caught up trying to teach Violet to walk, talk, use the potty, and read nine books to her that I forgot to screenshot everything D:

I was unsatisfied with where I left off the last chapter, so I added a bit more. I now have a second child to raise, though having done it once it shouldn't be too hard to do it again, right?

Welcome to the challenge slashbanghorror! It sounds like the save file may have been corrupted if everything worked well in a new neighborhood? This does tend to happen after a while, and a lot of people also use the Nraas porter mod when moving to preserve their family tree and sim relationships. But if you do use errortrap and overwatch it may help to prolong your save so you don't have to move so often.

Finally got this chapter posted: Chapter 9.9 "I Want a Cat!"

Hey hey!

First of all, sorry for the quality of the photos on the blog. I've changed the blog theme and increased the photo size, so hopefully it looks better now.

Second of all, I have a new update: http://toolsieplaysthesims3.blogspo...-of-riches.html

I'm not working right now (though I am looking for jobs), and now that my game is actually working, I've been able to play and update a lot.

Hope it's more interesting for you guys D:
