Tower by the Sea (A Towering Legacy Challenge) *27/06/21*

Post by Little White Comet »

Welcome to my new story! This time I'm attempting the Towering Legacy challenge created by Sam (superfr0g) over on Livejournal. If you are interested in the rules you can read them here but to summarise, I will be attempting to build a tower at the same time as running a legacy.

The lot cannot exceed 8x8 and must be built either on a 2X2 plot or a 2X3 one depending on how far you are planning on going in the legacy. Dice must be rolled to determine how many babies will be born that generation. When each generation is born I will add a floor. Not cheats, all though I do have hacks to make my game run better it's nothing that makes it easier for me.

Now if you know me by now it should not surprise you to know that I won't be scoring my challenge and while my goal is to get to generation 10 I will be happy just to get halfway.
I hope you guys enjoy!

How Aspirations are Picked
Spoiler:
When my Sims become teenagers I pick their aspirations based on their Star Sign, just like how the game does with the townies. I got the idea for this from Pleasant Sims on youtube who uses the same method for her Sims 2 playthroughs. Below is the list of Star Signs and what aspiration the Sims will get.
  • Aries - Popularity
  • Taurus - Romance
  • Gemini - Fortune
  • Cancer - Family
  • Leo - Popularity
  • Virgo - Knowledge
  • Libra - Romance
  • Scorpio - Fortune
  • Sagittarius - Knowledge
  • Capricorn - Pleasure
  • Aquarius - Family
  • Pisces - Knowlege

I've always wanted to do when every since you first posted those rules. I followed your legacy closely as well, it was a lot of fun to read! So things are going okay, with this update I've got 5 in the house with minimal traffic jams. Which probably won't last long so I'll enjoy that while I can! Thank for reading!

I take no credit it for but it's a lot of fun to play. Highly recommend it. Thank you for reading!

It's so much fun to play! It can get a bit frustrating with all the traffic jams but I went in that expecting it. Emily is adorable, I love how she turned out. Fingers crossed her looks will pass on to her kids because let's be honest Juan isn't that great looking. Thanks for reading!

Treasure hunting is such a great way to boost funds, I definitely miss that in the later versions of the sims!!
Louisa's face in that first toddler pic :lol: you wouldn't think she has all those nice points!!
I definitely want to know Juan's sleeping fitness secret!
The kids are all pretty cute!

New update!

Sam
Spoiler:
I must admit that Treasure hunting isn't my favourite way to make money but it would have taken them ages to start making proper money from paintings so what can you do?
I tried for ages to get Louisa to give me a nice smile but she just kept throwing temper tantrums at her toy so I had to make do XD

I can't believe how fast this family is growing up, to be honest! I haven't got to the next level yet, I'm bringing out an heir poll after part 5 so I've got to wait to see the results of that before I can play much further. Thanks for reading!

This looks like a fun challenge concept, I like the quality of your pictures too. Lol, and it seems like party guests are always missing at the family home.

Looking forward to seeing Katelyn's kids!

Cal is such fun to have around! Plus the fact he's aiming to become a Cult Leader, he just keeps getting better honestly. Thanks for reading!

I love the idea of this massive generational tower! I'm currently reading through the ground floor chapters, and your game is just so cute!
