The following changes are being made to the core Legacy Challenge Rules. as with this and all other Legacy Challenge rule updates, there is no need to restart your Legacy Family. Simply begin playing your families with the new rules going forward.

Spouses:

Spouses may no longer bring in any money with them when they move in/marry into the family. To prevent this, you may merge townies into families with one another prior to moving them in. A sim who is not the last member of their household will not bring any money into the household. Alternatively, if a sim does bring in money, use the money cheat to reduce the family’s new balance to whatever it was prior to the new sim moving in.

The restriction on the number of sims moving into the Legacy family house has been lifted. You may now move in as many sims as you wish, as long as none of them brings in any money. You may have spares get married if you so desire and create ‘cadet branches’ within the household.

There have been many reports that the automatic generation of random townies peters out over time, leaving the dating pool barren. To combat this I am easing up on the restriction of using gallery sims for Legacy Challenge spouse material. On the gallery, look up #LegacyLovers (name suggested by BossJinja) any and all families you find there can be brought into your world and become eligible spouses. You can even add your own entries! Simply make one or more sims in CAS, then upload them to the gallery wiht the #LegacyLovers tag. Please do not upload pre-played sims to that hashtag as it remembers their skills.

Creativity:

In order to properly memorialize someone you must do the following. Write a Song for a sim (Piano, Violin or Guitar skill 8+), Paint a High Skill Realist painting for a sim (Painting Skill 8+), OR compose and perform a Long Comedy Routine.(Comedy skill 8+ – This routine must be performed at least once during a party). You can also write a Biography (Skill 10) for a Sim.

Penalties:

There is no longer a penalty for bringing in more than 10 spouses over the life of your Legacy Family.
