I’m loving this old sims content. They just have way more charm than 4
Yeah I think Sims 3 is the current pinnacle of the Sims franchise. Sims 4 beats it in some respects, but Sims 3 is just overall way better, more realistic and more fun.
@@Alniemi honestly, the only reason to get 4 over 3 is if you have a low end computer, and I would say 2 is better overall for lower end PCs
@@mrtacos705 I know this comment is a year old, but I would like to say that the Sims 3 runs perfectly fine with a few mods on my cheap laptop, so that shouldn't be a deterrent.
Legacy challenge is the ultimate classical way to play the franchise. I don't find it really interesting because I prefer playing in rotation even in sims 3. Lepacy feels more right in my alley and the completonist challenge is my challenge in that field of "only play one family forever" type of challenges.
i have never done a lepacy, so i didnt feel confident making a video on it, but it's on the top of my list! i will likely do a random order for the packs / generations just to spice it up for myself.
@@Rekowcski if you planning to make videos about challenges, look for the medieval challenges made for sims 2, those are incredible detailed and would worth a lot of videos tutorials, especially the Warwickshire one (this have a pdf with almost 100 pages of instructions). Build a city challenge is the most popular between simmers that play rotationally.
I love build a city. I've never done the medieval ones but im a fan, I'll look into it x
I'm curious. What's Lepacy? Google is not helping xD
@@maruubnd legacy challange but each gen is another pack since there 10 ep for sims 3 and 10 gen in legacy
I call my sims 3 game a "Sims Empire". I am now on my 7th generation of sim family. I started with a sim a created myself and had him marry a local in Bridgeport. I made the starting line to be at the top of their careers. Then they'd have kids who are also required to be at the top of their careers before they get married. The kids can live with a lover, but that lover must also reach the top of their careers before they can get married and have kids of their own. I am on my 7th generation now. Part of my challenge is buying all possible establishments and naming them in honor of the family name or relatives. I also built a resort that is required to be maintained by each generation. The challenge is not one sim in the bloodline or their spouse can have the same career that has already been chosen by a past family member. It's been 10 years and I haven't stopped playing sims 3 because of how I play the game.
Sims family empire sounds very interesting. I am always pushing for top of the career. Do you use save clearner and stuff? Let me know how you play a save for that long, lots of people come to me with questions on how to keep it running well.
@@Rekowcski I have a no cheats rule and I don't have any mods. All I have are all the games and stuff packs and downloadable content. To keep the game from lagging or acting up, the new "heir" has to move out and start their own life. So once they age as young adults, I move them to a starter home and they have to work their asses from there. When I have to change computers, I just copy and paste the save file in the bin to the new computer so long as I've installed the same expansions, stuff packs etc. I hope that helps! Love your videos!
@@chertz2533 thank you!
10 years in sims world or in real life time?
I'm usually too lazy to do the point system for legacies but I do follow the rules I set for myself strictly (currently have a Strict Equality gender law + Exemplar heir law with the Confident trait). I prefer Sims 3 and 4 for legacies/rags to riches and 2 for rotations but I've done a little bit of everything in every game.
Lepacy so far has been very different since it's more about exploring the pack that the generation is on rather than rules for continuing your family. Moving worlds is encouraged, don't need to start rags to riches style if you don't want to, no real restrictions beyond "A “generation” is completed when the Lifetime Wish is fulfilled." and the LTW of course being specific to the pack you're currently on.
i am going to play a lepacy in my free time to explore a couple packs in depth, i've done so many rags to riches that now I just like to start with maybe 10k to build a house, nothing fancy, but the needs get met so i can focus on the actual content
The only challenge i played is rag to riches and is fun. There is a challenge that i never tried yet that's called Perfect Life Challenge, created by French Sims Moon. You have to play with a sim since him or her is a baby and have them be the main character.
it's my fav challenge in the sims 4, the hoods have a lot to run around and start collecting
Me on my way to break every single one of these rules specifically because I was told not to
I love to play with different households as they are all different and I can switch things up when I get bored
I had attempted a Posapocalypse challenge once. i have a world in CAW with only one living lot on which i have only placed beds, a table and a stove. the sims should then grow or catch their own food, but unfortunately they didn't survive
I've never done a challenge as I mostly just design/build but ever since I found you, and have been playing catch up, I'm thinking I might try it now. Ty for the great content.
I am mostly a builder, but it turns out I like playing the sims game too as long as its not sims 4 lol
I'm very new to the TS3 and this video along with many of your other ones has helped me greatly, thank you so much! 💕
If you encounter any issues be sure to let me know x
Lepacy challenge is actually my favorite ☺️
your videos are so good and informative!!! definitely deserve more subs for the hard work you put into your vids! :)
i've only just started replaying the sims 3, i've done the legacy in sims 4 heaps of times but only a couple in sims 3 i definitely want to now!
I’m glad to hear I hope you enjoy it when you try!
Wow this is awesome. Ive never heard of this challenge before. But this is ALMOST exactly how I've played in the past
the tricky part for most people is starting without a proper house, but personally i think it's more fun !
If you are going to do challenges, I really hope you post live records as well. Sims 3 is full of details and surprises, I’ve been playing it for a year and I am still constantly finding new stuff. It’s amazing.
I want to do something structured like a lepacy or “not so berry” and if I do I will keep some sort of spreadsheet going don’t worry haha, and of course there will be videos too
I've always wanted to play legacy challenge but I think now its a good time to start :D
i have one in gen 2 now, my heir turned out so pretty i was pleased
I do the Finch Curse Legacy challenge. Like legacy challenge but you have to roll on the death day of them and wheel the type of death
sounds terrifying, i love it
not the katy perry sweet treats footage 😭😭😭 horror story
ive been using it in my intros for months, beware :p
The gym is a legacy player's best friend - or the fire station if you have Ambitions. Dammit... now I have to start a new legacy... sigh.
im always showering at the gym haha
An easy way to get cash is get the kleptomaniac trait for your sim and go and steal some fast cars, works a 100% of the time :D
Omg yes we did that for a short LP on stream! I stole 2 sloppy jalopys then named the baby sloppy jalopy haha
I should give this a shot! Would love to see you do one!
im on generation two, i got burnt out on the first gen because I picked "surrounded by family" for my founder... do NOT do this lol it was so hard, pick a lifetime wish that you can make some money while completing
awesome vid! :)) thanks!!
Thanks for watching x
Well for me ive kept the founder lives for yearS, she's a fairy so she naturally have a ultra length lifespan. But i just keep her young adult for eternity with the fountai of youth, potions, and stuff. Ive spent some of her lifetime wish but she still has remaining around 500,000 lifetimes points
I always keep the ghost of my founder but I get too busy to keep them alive for so long haha
Best UA-camr On The Planet
best exaggeration ever x
@@Rekowcski Did Anything Happen With The Store? It's hard to download worlds for me :(
There's one issue I have with the rules which is unclear. The rules specifically state that Sims can't be resurrected or have their live-spans expanded or so on, but there's two things which seem unclear-
1. Does getting spared by the reaper count as getting resurrected? Like what can sometimes happen by chance?
2. If being spared is allowed, does that mean that the unlucky trait is or isn't banned?
Since Sims with Unlucky have bad things happen to them more often, but in exchange they're immune to all forms of death that aren't natural causes, because the reaper will always pity them enough to bring them back to life-
It sort of feels like the rules forget just how powerful unlucky sims can be in this context-
I think both of those things are okay, my suggestion would be don't choose unlucky/lucky, but if the babies get the trait, I keep it!
There should be an exception for the Dusty Old Lamp reward: Generating a genie for possible romance and creating heirs.
am I colorblind or is everything that I thought was blue in the sims now grey in this video
i use a gray ui replacement mod
@@Rekowcski ohhhh ok interesting
Nice video. Never tried a challenge like this. I wonder if World Adventures is allowed. That whole pack is a money cheat.
Personally I take vacations and bring home souvenirs but I don't get to sell them in build mode. And I don't bring like 20 Egyptian statues, just a couple small things.
@@Rekowcski I've always been conflicted cause it's an official expansion but just one piece of Tiberium running from 40-70k really feels like cheating. Must resist if I do this challenge.
Into the future is also a money cheat with the whole lottery thing, specially if you travel and look for the winning lotto
Question: are we aloud to change the age timing? I just want to make baby and Toddler ages smaller because in my opinion they're like really boring, so are we able to make changes like that?
Bruh. Every struggle need to be enjoyed to the fullest. Even when you cant eat any food one day.
And it's so rewarding when your family someday became a rich family.
I’m currently doing a legacy challenge and I’m trying to get my sim a mate so she and her daughter can move out of the shack they’re currently in
technically you are supposed to stay on the home lot and move the spouse in with you :p but its the sims who cares, i break all sorts of rules lol
tbh sims 3 is rough without money so it's probably your best strategy
I want to play this challenge, but I have some questions:
1. Do I have to set online play for this challenge? Cause usually I love playing offline.
2. After creating a sim, do I have to choose something before closing the CAS menu to get into the challenge?
I mean how do I know that I am in to this challenge?
Apart from the matriarchy/partiarchy and shared trait, i've never heard of any of these other versions of legacy...
Uglacy is super funny, albeit problematic haha
subbed
Thank you 💕
I never seems to finish legacy challenges in Sims 3 (I have done so many fir Sims 2, and even went to Gen 19, before my hard drive got fried).
I am considering doing a lepacy challenge (but since I do not have Showtime, I will skip that, but add in some Store Worlds and some Custom Worlds to get to Gen 20). Have you ever gotten all the LTWs?
I've never completed every lifetime wish or want in the sims 2 or 3 because I end up picking the same 5-10. I've been working on the world adventures ones off camera and they're quite fun. I've only ever done the nectar collector one before
@@Rekowcski I have yet to complete a WA LTW, haha. To be fair, I was still so attached to Sims 2, that WA was not at the top of my list to purchase for Sims 3. Before mods, Sims 3's StoryProgression had me pulling hairs out (moving families out of town, unless I directly play with them, lots of routing issues, etc.), especially after buying Pets as my first EP.
When I finally found how to use mods (mostly NRaas), that is when I switched more to Sims 3. My sister preordered Supernatural (my favorite EP), after that I just kept hitting sales and bargain bins, because I was on a quest to own it all, like I did with both Sims 1&2. WA, I found in a bargain bin (it was literally unplayable), but after countless hours with EA (I ended up with just digital code, and an unplayable disc - haha). They even gave me SimPoints, but had no clue what they were for? 🤷♀🤦♀
I was fortunate enough to find threads on the forums to show me how to take advantage of my SimPoints, which made me scrap my goal of owning all EPs and SPs, to owning the entire Sims 3 Store for free (except the few Worlds and Premium items that SimPoints could not buy). Of course, that was when they offered ads to watch for SimPoints, and along with the Daily Deal Rotational Thread's helpful information, as well as lowest purchase amount, the Complete-A-Set feature, gifting threads and contests, I was able to accomplish that. Meanwhile, those 5$ sales for the EPs and SPs had me taking the bait more and more. But unlike you, I did purchase SPs that I have since regretted (i.e. Diesel, MS and FL), and since by that time KPST was no longer sold on Origin, I had to weigh in whether I wanted to become a true completionist (buying a pack I will likely never use for a price that could get me 2-3+ AAA titles at launch). At that time, I had all other SPs, but was missing 2 EPs: UL and ST. I was gifted UL in a contest that I had been nominated for, and since I won the top prize, I could have also had ST as well, but I chose to pass it on to another who wanted ST for its content (not just to complete their Sims 3 collection).
Of course, Sims 4 was such an awful disappointment, that I own so little of it, but I tell you, if they remaster Sims 3 with all packs into one collection, I would buy it all over again (that is the only way I would ever own ST or KPSW [although that is less likely to be included]). I would do the same for 1&2, but they could not even pay me to complete Sims 4! 🤣
not me watching this video like i dont have 2 berry rainbowcies waiting for me to play past gen 3
when you get bored, immediately adopt a baby, you'll be busy
It's really hard to pay attention to what you're saying because of the original Sims music playing lol it's good though!
Also are you Canadian???
Once I saw any sims downloaded or created by u can’t join the family I knew I wasn’t doing this challenge
ROFL. I saw this video about 30 mins ago and decided to start a legacy gameplay. I started as a sim who dreams of being rich and famous with $500 only. I'm at Bridgeport and just started betting on $10 lotto tickets and after 2 bets I won $100K. Is the lucky trait OP? If it is, I'll have to replay. LMK! But while no one confirms that, I'll treat this as part of a fair gameplay. Lol
But why couldn't you start with a female elder, if you're gonna do the adoption challenge anyway? Seems a bit unfair that guys are allowed but women aren't (as elders).
I think it would add some extra chsllenge to completing the life time wish in time.
@ferret4111 Agree about the Plantsim, though I'm not sure the potion is allowed (for me personally I would allow it)
The problem is im getting bored pretty fast i tried to find a event wheel online and i tries to make a story around it
I never do a “basic” legacy challenge. I like rules limits and structure so I usually opt for not so berry or a randomized element. I’ve used wheels in let’s plays but not an entire legacy... could be super fun if the wheel has many unexpected events
@@Rekowcski oh maybe i should try not so berry challenge in the sims 3 sorry to bother you have a nice day
@@Perfektification you didnt bother me! I am always reading comments in case people need help (the sims 3 is sometimes challenging to get working for some people)
@@Rekowcski ok i love that people still plays sims 3, i really liked sims 2 also do you still play sims 2
2:36
i already created two sims and moved on a base game house...
Sims 3 still the best Sims game.
I clicked on this purely because I saw jessy
She’s the best x
I have tried many times to do the legacy challenge. The Sims God's hate me. I have never been able to complete it because,
Fire
Game crashes
Meteorites
Robbed so many times
More fire
Electrocution (with handiness maxed)
Then the absolute worst a triple hit
Meteorite then robbed and then fire within 20 mins of gameplay.
I was off lot for the 1st hit but my Sims roomate died after the fire so it's not worth it
It sounds like the sims 3 is a real challenge haha. If you don't like everything catching fire then never play sims 1 lol
@@Rekowcski I always expect fire LOL. I have been playing The Sims since it came out(I'm an old Lady) everything is always on fire ,but a fire and a meteor hit right after each other is crazy making
I never start off with a female sim.... Actually I prefer playing with male sims. I can't think of a female sim I've made that wasn't a wife or a sister. Everyone plays differently
that's great, i try to do 50/50 personally, but my favourite is when males get pregnant with aliens
@@Rekowcski definitely!
It's not just about boredom of content.
It's also about..
1. PLAY SLOW. Enjoy the struggle of your sims life. DONT CHEAT. DONT USE GLITCH AND EXPLOITS.
2. Play with lore. You make your own family, you decide what each member gonna be. Roleplaying with each family member and also with the family. Example, you make your family that named "McDonald" to make a big farmer house.
3. DONT USE MODS. Especially the easy life mods. Uh i hate those.
EXCEPT if you use some mods that about quality of life and those that dont interfere with your sims life(even the sims segs mod is technically OK since they don't affect your sims life. It's only about their segs life).
ALSO DONT ADD SOME ITEMS MOD. Try to play with the vanilla items. No mod items.
Too complicated.
