Zodiac Sign Legacy Challenge [REVAMPED]
Heavily lifted from
lifesimmer22 , I present to you the Zodiac Sign Legacy Challenge!
The
original challenge was posted two and a half years ago and doesn’t get a lot of traffic. I thought it was a cool concept but seemed a little under-developed to me, in comparison with other Legacy challenges. I revamped and fleshed it out using some research so I could use it, then thought why not post it for everyone else to use?
The rules are simple! Gameplay is
basic Legacy rules, which I’ll reiterate here:
- Your founder (in this case, Aries) must be a Young Adult and the only person in the household.
- Your founder will live on a bulldozed 50x50 lot. When moving in, you should be left with $10,000. If not, the lot is not eligible.
- Once moved in, buy the Knight of the Octagon Table costing $8,200 and keep it in your family inventory for the entire challenge. These two points are necessary to level the playing field. All players start with $1,800, the same size lot, and a price for being nobility (the hefty bill caused by the table you bought).
- No cheats or mods that advantage you over other people. For example, money cheats like motherlode and kaching, because someone who did not use them would have less money than someone who did. CC and casfulleditmode are both absolutely fine.
- No restarting! Get a bad hand? Deal it anyways.
- Life-span set to normal, and no bringing the dead back.
Although this Legacy is two generations longer than a usual one, it compensates with its customisability and lack of strict rules. I tend to think that it makes it more fun to have a loose challenge rather than strict goals. I have picked a toddler trait for each generation (except Aries) and four child/teen/adult traits for you to pick from. You’re supposed to pick three, but if you really dislike one of them, you can pick
one different trait.
Keep in mind that these traits are based on stereotypes that I got from horoscope sites like this one and most likely will not sum you up as a person.
I mean, I’m Virgo and I’m definitely not a perfectionist, nor is my dad – a Gemini – a genius. Don’t take it seriously.
Your aspirations are up to you, though I’d suggest picking one that ties in with a part of that heir’s personality. E.g. Libra could be Friend of the World since he’s outgoing and cheerful.
My only rule is that you cannot switch aspirations until you complete the one you have chosen, so choose wisely!
When it comes to succession law, I thought I’d go by the
gender of each sign, which I’ve labelled below. Luckily, following this isn’t hard as it alternates between female and male starting with Aries being male. For people who hate using males for Legacy saves, this could be a challenge.
Other than that, no appearance or achievement requirements, it just hands over once the heir is a young adult.
For optional fun, you could use
the sign's colour schemes as part of their clothing, hair, and or eye colours. I’ve listed the colour schemes under each generation just in case you want to do that.
You could also use names that are inspired by the signs. E.g. Gemini = Georgie, Taurus = Tanith, etc.
