some speed-created summerdreams ♥

My legacy game save got corrupted, much to my annoyance. Luckily I am pretty proactive about saving my sims to my gallery, so I can pull the current gen into a new save game. That does not make it any less annoying.

However, I took it as an opportunity to hand-make some of my favorite old-school simmies to toss into the world, such as the Summerdreams. Since ts4 still doesn't have fairies, I made them spellcasters, and tried to make them also vaguely uncanny, with the exception of relatively-normal Bottom.

This was the work of maybe an hour or two - I will probably work more on them later but the adhd kicked in. I am obsessed with how Titania turned out though.

(In the words of the inimitable muckleberryjam, I too am fatally allergic to sims children, so I used her tactic of making Bottom a teen and then physically aging her down with a preteen preset.)

The BFFs

Would you believe me if I told you the resemblance to Chris Hemsworth was accidental?

An anon asked me to makeover everyone's favourite uninvited houseguest, Kyle Kyleson. Anon, I hope this cleared your skin and watered your crops as you hoped!

Please find my notes and thoughts on this Legacy Challenge HERE - it may be helpful to read that first!

Season One of the LovedaySims' Legacy Challenge has FIVE generations. Please find the first generation under the cut as an example.

Suggestions to start out:

No need to start from nothing, but try moving into a >$20,000 starter home using money your founder brought from their wealthy family. After buying the home, you should have no more than $1000 going forward.

You may want to make your founder’s parents along with your founder, since they will have the opportunity to be present in the legacy!

Whims-based gameplay is encouraged — if you’re not sure what to do next, follow your Sim’s whims!

You’ll want to play on a Long lifespan or have custom lifespans with MCCC!

Gen 1: A Different Kind of Magic

Born as the last scion to a powerful spellcasting family, you proved to be quite the “disappointment” when you were, by some twist of fate, born without magic. Rather than presenting you to the Sages for training and ascendance, your parents shunned you, providing only the most necessary of care before you finally left home as soon as you became a young adult.

You could go to the Sages yourself, but you are determined to make your own way – and prove to your parents that “true-blooded” magic is not the only magic. Instead of slinging spells, you turn to the power of crystals.
