Legacy Park: Oasis Landing's Collection of Legacy Statues

One Into the Future Gameplay Feature is to enable your Sim to return to the Present and use Future knowledge or technology to alter the timeline and make them so influential they are given a Legacy Statue. This Guide covers how to unlock all five Legacy Statues and what they'll do to help your Sims.

About Legacy Statues

Legacy Statues can be viewed in Legacy Park (near City Hall) while visiting the Future in Oasis Landing. Whether the Future is Utopian, Dystopian, or normal, the statues will be present. When you have unlocked a Legacy Statue, it will always be present in this special park and give your Sim a permanent bonus while visiting in the Future. Each Statue gives an unique and permanent +15 moodlet while visiting the Future, meaning you can get +75 mood just enjoying your Legacy if a Sim can achieve fame in all five. Additionally, they all carry a side benefit that will give your Sim a new interaction or change how Future Sims react to you.

You can view the requirements for any Legacy Statues in-game by viewing the Almanac of Time given by the Time Traveler. This will show what ones you've achieved and what you'll need to do in order to get it. Some of these have confused people, so I'll give easy descriptions to completing the requirements below, with tips to help you finish them faster.

Legacy Statue Requirements & Bonus List

Here is a list of the five Legacy Statues you can unlock for your Sim and how they're achieved, along with pictures of each statue. You can tell when you've fulfilled the requirements for changing the Future and earning the Legacy Statue by the game notification and a visit by the Time Traveler's Hologram, who arrives to congratulate you.

You can change which Sim has a Legacy Statue by fulfilling the requirements again with a new Sim. The last Sim to do it will take over the Legacy Statue status, which is a little silly, but does allow Sims to continue completing the 'Made the Most of My Time' LTW or pass the benefits down to the living, as if it were not so, you could potentially be locked from completing the LTW with other Sims because all Legacy Statues could eventually be claimed.

It's worth noting that none of the Legacy Statue benefits carry over while in the Present. The moodlets and special abilities are only available to your Sim while visiting Oasis Landing.





Unlocking The Time Keeper Legacy Statue

The Time Keeper

How to Unlock The Time Keeper: Become Best Friends with Emit Relevart (the Time Traveler), then change the Future to either Dystopian or Utopian. You'll have to do a chain of opportunities, whichever you pick. Then change it to the other outcome by doing the other chain. You can do this with the Almanac of Time or by talking to the Time Traveler. Finally, you'll get Oasis Landing back to Normal by talking to Emit about Repairing the Future, using the Almanac, or even using level 10 of Advanced Technology's ability to Reset the Time Continuum at the Portal. If you are not Best Friends with Emit when you do this, you'll need to change the Time Continuum one more time while at that Friendship level. It is best to talk to Emit in the Future rather than visit with him on your lot, as it takes several more hours than his visit length to achieve Best Friends. So long as you are Best Friends with Emit, you can even do this entire process with a few clicks of the Time Remote Control Lifetime Reward - but that is not optimal, as it is the reward you get for attaining this Legacy Statue.

Bonus Your Sim Receives: As stated, you'll get a Time Remote Control for your efforts, which lets you freely change Oasis Landing to Utopian, Dystopian, or Normal while keeping relationships you've developed there. You will get the Time Keeper Legacy Statue and +15 moodlet while visiting the Future, as well.

Unlocking The Trendsetter Legacy Statue

The Trendsetter

How to Unlock The Trendsetter: This one is a little confusing to achieve. Four Sims must use clothing pedestals you've placed in the Present Town to change their outfits. In order to complete the Trendsetter, your first question will be, "Where are the display pedestals for clothing?". The answer can be found in Buy Mode > Sort by Function > Surfaces > Displays. There you'll find the Rubikon Retail and Concentroid Retail Display Pedestals. The only difference between them are the square and circular designs.

Use Plan Outfit on the Pedestal to make an outfit for a select age and gender. Once done, you only need Sims of that type to come over and get interested in the Pedestals. This was very easy when I used the Big Park in town, which I purchased and modified with the game's Real Estate system. With some pedestals placed, you'll just need Sims to visit, who have a small chance of getting interested in the new clothing you've designed. You don't have to make anything special and can go with default - after all, you can be introducing futuristic clothing generations before it's invented and still be a 'Trendsetter'.

You must place these Pedestals either on your home lot or a public lot (non-rabbit hole) that you can modify, such as a park or local swimming pool you've purchased. If you're doing it from home, you should ensure that the Sims you invite over are the same age and gender as the display pedestals you've provided, so tweak them based on your company to help spark interest. At a place like a park, you'd want a variety of clothing pedestals to allow purchasing by Male and Female Child to Young Adult, Adult, and Elder Sims. Thankfully, each pedestal is only $100 so establishing a good selection of clothing is not expensive. If you're on a budget, most of the town's population is usually Young Adult and Adult.

Bonus Your Sim Receives: Futuristic Sims near yours may randomly change into the same outfit your Sim is wearing, in addition to The Trendsetter Legacy Statue in Oasis Landing's Legacy Park and permanent +15 Moodlet while visiting the Future.

Unlocking The Renowned Philanthropist Legacy Statue

The Renowned Philanthropist

How to Unlock The Renowned Philanthropist: Win the Lotto in the Present, then donate $50,000 to the Plan the Future Fund. To make this easy, make your first trip to the Future include a stop by City Hall to 'Search Lotto Records', which is free. When you get the Insider Tip Moodlet, you are good to go.

You can win the Lotto without Insider Tip, but it raises your odds of winning, while also making it more likely that win is a large sum. Note that the lottery winnings system is tied to Advanced Technology. Higher levels in the Skill will boost your earnings by a large amount, going from a small 5% all the way to a whopping 300% boost.

You can buy a lotto ticket at the Grocery Store in the Present for $10. Drawings are held daily at 7PM. Buying more than one ticket will up your chances to win, but with a diminishing return. Still, the ticket is so cheap that buying two or three seems sensible to ensure a win with the Moodlet. After all, if you don't win enough, you will have to come up with the rest of the money yourself. Naturally, there are plenty of ways to make make money in The Sims 3.

Head to City Hall in the Present to start donating. You'll have to do 10,000 at a time. I wouldn't bother with keeping track of lesser amounts. Just do that 5 times, and you'll be Renowned for your efforts.

Bonus Your Sim Receives: The ability to give Sims money, which gives a big boost to friendship level - with Similar gains in relationship standing going from $1, to $100, to $1,000. This lets you buy Friends in the Future. Of course, you are unable to do this with Sims in your own household. In addition, you'll get The Renowned Philanthropist Legacy Statue in Oasis Landing's Legacy Park and permanent +15 Moodlet while visiting the Future.

Unlocking The Pioneer of Plumbotics Legacy Statue

The Pioneer of Plumbotics

How to Unlock The Pioneer of Plumbotics: This one makes heavy use of Bot Building. To be Pioneer of Plumbotics, you need to create (or upgrade) a Plumbot of Future Tech Quality while in the Present, then install it with a Sentience Trait Chip. You can learn a lot about accomplishing those things in the three linked guides, but may also be interested in reading about collecting Nanites in the Future, which includes some spawn points for Rare Nanites that are necessary to craft the Sentience Trait Chip.

Bonus Your Sim Receives: Your Sim will be able to befriend Plumbots very quickly, especially if coupled with the Bot Fan Trait, which does the same. This also gives a boost when selling Plumbots, which is really significant as Plumbot sell values are multiplied by the Quality of Plumbot, adding up the value of all the Trait Chips installed. You'll also get the Pioneer of Plumbotics Legacy Statue and +15 Honored Plumboticist Moodlet while visiting in the Future.

Unlocking the Lustrous Entertainer Legacy Statue

The Lustrous Entertainer

How to Unlock The Lustrous Entertainer: Reach level 10 in the Laser Rhythm-a-Con Musical Instrument Skill, then have 10 different Sims listen to you play while in the Present. Being good - level 10 - makes sense as a requirement. Sims listening to you Play for Tips counts as well. This is one of the easiest Legacy Statues to obtain, but none of the previous listeners from lower levels in the skill will count. While the total number of listeners is tracked in the Laser Rhythm-a-Con Skill Journal, you'll need 10 Sims to listen once you've hit level 10.

Bonus Your Sim Receives: You always get relations with Sims who listen to your Music while playing, but getting the Lustrous Entertainer Legacy Statue boosts those relationship gains, while also giving the +15 Moodlet.
