If you want this as a tumblr post, please tell me and I’ll write it up for you. Part 2 will be out in the next few days. This video is like a podcast style video,. I wanted it to be more chill if that’s okay 💕 I wish you an amazing day take care🫶🏾

I have a legacy save but I’ve done over 25 generations since the game came out. I’ve tried starting a new save but I just can’t devote to them like I do to the family I’ve had since the start. 💙

[@SashasSpace]

Wow you’re so close to unlock ABC legacy once you reach 26 generations I believe 🥹! That’s so amazing! 25 that’s quarter of 100 and the whole “legendary legacy” notification 🤯 I love that you’re dedicated to them🥰🫶🏾

[@Kualinar]

You are just one generation short of an achievement. The Alphabet achievement for the 26th generation.

[@FirstNameLastName-ic1tn]

That’s impressive!

[@m0L3ify]

I'll try this. I'm the kind of player who can barely get through 2 generations before I start a new game so this will be interesting.

[@SashasSpace]

You got this! Keep at it and take your breaks when its necessary. The storytelling that can develop through legacy and exploring the game is so worth it. I wish you the best ♥

[@m0L3ify]

@@SashasSpace I look forward to it!

[@joshfritsch3835]

that is so me but i will try too

[@samrudd1555]

Cheating can also actually help you make the game more interesting. For instance sometime I get bored if my Sims are super rich, so occasionally it's fun to imagine that they have bene fined or robbed, or some renovations on their house cost a lot more than the game says it did.

[@SashasSpace]

You shaking the table 😭! I do remove funds here and there🫣💕

[@sabrinaloizides-merideth9874]

I was scrolling through the game's achievements one day and realized that there's an achievement for having 100 generations in a singe family so I decided to shoot for that. I don't reakon many folks have heard of that one, let alone accomplished it. It took me a looooong time to do it, mind you and I did three scenarios, and about five different legacy challenges while doing it but I managed to get it done. I was so excited that I put up the adult versions of gen 1 and get 100 onto the gallery. I'm now doing the Super Sim challenge which requires loyalty to one sim and not a family.

[@SashasSpace]

Omgggg you finished 100 legacy??!!!!! I would love to reach that level one day you did that!!! How many years did it take 🫣? Congratulations btw 🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳🎊🎊

[@sabrinaloizides-merideth9874]

@@SashasSpace About two years. I was playing most of it on short lifespan because it's way quicker that way. Sims were always dying so quickly but the goal was to blast through generations so I didn't get too attached to most of them. Ember Blaze was the name of the founder though and she was iconic in my eyes.

[@SashasSpace]

@sabrinaloizides-merideth9874 wow that’s so amazing you did that 🥹🫶🏾🫶🏾

[@EmilyBlueJaye]

Currently on Gen 30 of my save. I personally love using a spreadsheet to track things. Definitely gives a sense of accomplishment.

[@SashasSpace]

Totally agree!

[@YourGirlPlaysXO]

This is for me because I am the simmer that start new saves after 2-3 gens lollllll but omg I can't believe you completed the nightmare legacy!! it is a nightmare!!! I think I might finally retry UI cheats and challenge myself to play a full 10 gens. Thanks for all the tips Sashaa!

[@SashasSpace]

Yes girlie don’t pressure yourself too much. It’s gonna come to you 🥹🫶🏾 You’re welcome sis 💕💕💕

[@clairebradley6771]

I’ve just started a random-ish legacy and this video hit the spot!! I’ve decided to play on normal lifespan and roughly follow the “rules”. If I don’t quite complete everything, it’s fine 😂. I’m randomising traits, aspirations, careers, children and life events using the Plumbobber and random legacy roller. I’ve decided I’m not going to repeat careers or aspirations so I can explore all aspects of the game. Adding fun lots from the gallery is a MUST and UI cheats is my friend 😂 Thanks for this 😊

[@SashasSpace]

Yess Claire! I love that you’re trying new things to explore the game. I don’t think I’ve heard of plumbobber and random legacy roller. I’ve got to google and see. I’m considering to continue to get to 26 generations to get to the ABC legacy. Maybe this will help me to discover more aspects of the game🥰🫶🏾 You’re welcome Claire thank you for watching💕💕💕

[@riverslullaby3588]

I’m just beginning Gen 3 of my legacy, and i’ve never made it this far fr. I’m so proud. I do cheat a bit and i don’t always complete the challenge. But it’s fun.

[@SashasSpace]

I’m so proud of you! You got this 🥹🫶🏾

[@islagoodim-young5354]

I had to restart my legacy as I lost a four gen game due to corruption, looking back on this vid reminds me to keeping going with my current game ♥️

[@SashasSpace]

I’m sorry you lost your save. You’ve got this!

[@islagoodim-young5354]

Thank you, every time something important happens I save my family to my library and every time I save I get chills lol

[@Zouchii]

Honestly, where are your subs? This was a very nice video, I watched it until the end. You have 300+ videos and only 2910 subscribers? I don't understand. Your voice is very soothing and it's nice to listen to you. I hope that the algorithm suggests you to more people like it did to me today! :)

[@SashasSpace]

You are so kind. Thank you so much! I hope it does and I hope your day is amazing🥹💗💗

[@SimplyRockie]

Thank you for this video! I’ve created my own legacy challenge and it’s a 15 generation challenge! I’m excited to see how far I get 😂

[@SashasSpace]

Yasss good luck 🫶🏾

[@Amandaplayssims]

Great tips Sasha! And I completely agree about giving some sims negative traits, I think people can get tired of their legacy so fast because they try to make every sim a fantastic, unflawed person and that's just not realistic lol! Also huge congratulations on hitting 2k subs!!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉💓💓

[@SashasSpace]

Yesss the complexity in your story when sims have conflicting emotions when they have random traits and aspirations 🫣. You unlock a lot of great gameplay moments you never knew existed. So true 😫🔥🔥 Thank you so much sis!!!! 🥳🥳💕💕

[@luanunes14]

I managed to do 13 generations, and I'm damn proud of myself. I'm still playing with that family, but on a new save, because I felt like that save was starting to lag a bit to much. I don't think I'll ever play without the descendants of that family tbh

[@SashasSpace]

Oh that makes sense my legacy save had the weird infinite loading screen glitch, but thankfully it stopped 😭🫶🏾 I’m happy you enjoy that family so much🥰. Sound amazing to play for over 13 generations. I hope to get there one day 🫶🏾

[@Buggaboonetteyt]

I have startd my own legancy challege with my first sim

[@SashasSpace]

I love that for you! I hope your gameplay is fun💕💕

[@asamabry]

GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

[@cailynvries1788]

The legacy challenge I am really into right now is called going solo! You have to complete every career and every aspiration in the game without competing any so one aspiration and career per generation. Your sim isn’t allowed To marry but must become the parent of one kid! I am loving it and I’m sure I’ll complete it!

[@SashasSpace]

I love that it sounds so fun 🥰💕

[@Primroseholic]

I have a few saves but one i call my main is on 16 generations now.

[@SashasSpace]

Ouuu 🤩!! I hope to get there one day 💕

[@cassi9080]

I really like to listen to this video because it inspires me to play myself. I already have a legacy (I’am on gen 3) and they have 4 kids and a dog and a cat they have recently moved to brindelton bay from coperdale!❤

[@SashasSpace]

Thank youu 🥰 Yassss I love that 🥹🥹. Keep it up 🫶🏾🫶🏾

[@Kualinar]

One can go urn and tombstone hunting and create a graveyard in their backyard. Then, add the haunted challenge to the lot. Having a dozen ghosts come visiting you at night can be fun.

[@SashasSpace]

I have an occult challenge on my channel and oh my god this sounds perfect for my ghost sim 🤣! I want her to work on the paranormal skill too, so I’m gonna do this tysm 😂💕

[@Kualinar]

@@SashasSpace By the way, there is an achievement for having a family of 8 playable ghosts. I managed to get it... And make them live in a house that should be perfect for those immaterial ghosts : No kitchen as, after all, dead don't eat. No sink, shower nor bath as they don't have any skin to get dirty. Then, who need beds for a family of dead peoples. A toilet ? Why, ghosts are not supposed to have a bladder. Strangely, they where quite miserable...😁😈

[@SashasSpace]

LOL not they were miserable! I gotta search this achievement up!

[@missbeehavingsim]

Gen 8 is absolutely gorgeous!

[@SashasSpace]

Thank you 🫶🏾

[@Poppy565]

This is the first vid of yours that I’ve watched. Do you have a video series on this legacy? If so, I’d love to watch it. I tried to find it in your playlist but didn’t see anything. (I found your Occult baby challenge though and am currently watching it since I’m doing that challenge as well. Your series is delightfully unhinged.)

[@SashasSpace]

I’m thinking of uploading a current household with Gen11. The gameplay is meant to be messy. Occult baby challenge ahhh that’s so sweet ty! The series was so fun to film. I do have other legacy lp on my channel for the Joy of Life. I also have the Rogers family (their playlist is called every Roger’s family ep) and I’m playing gen2 right now. I also have a growing together lp that is story driven if you’re into that💕💕

[@tendaoxtails]

I love legacy challenges. I have an immortal (non vampire) couple who has the unlock every single career aspiration while giving birth to only human children. The challenge was to complete every aspiration before allowing them to pass on. Took me 15 generations but it was worth it. Hella tombstones we’re on my lot tho 😂 I make up random challenges just bc ❤

[@SashasSpace]

What an interesting challenge, so their kid eventually became older than them? 😳

[@iamsocks]

really loved the style of this video!!! appreciated all the tips and think this is great to help people get more involved in their gameplay! we can say whatever we want about TS4 but at the end of the day, we can do so much with making it our own!

[@SashasSpace]

Yessss period socks tysm you’re too kind friend💕💕💕 There’s so much to discover in this game and so many unplayed stories. I sometimes think if I quit at a certain Gen, I would have never experienced such and such gameplay or even storyline. Sometimes it gets boring, but if you push through it’s gonna come together so well🥰💕💕

[@mystreet_edits-c5v]

I have like 50+ saves, most of which are legacys.. I am doing a royal legacy challenge at the moment, but I don’t think I just want to stick to just that, don’t really enjoy it anyway, I’m going to make a normal legacy. This one is gonna be the one. I’m going to make my own save file for it, have a story for the founder, along with some family members of theirs. Also I’m gonna scrap being a full storyteller and not having aging on, it will be normal life span, I’ll place down buildings in the worlds I have, I am so motivated to do this. I am going to add families from the gallery into my world instead of npcs. THIS 👏 WILL 👏 BE 👏 THE 👏 ONE 👏‼️(I hope 🙂)

[@SashasSpace]

Ouuu sounds like it will be fun🤩🔥 Take your time with your save and I hope it’s amazing 💕💕💕

[@EffervescentSimmer]

Mine was a challenge, I just started off with a sim and played her life. Then I blinked and I was almost 5 gens in. I said that I have to continue. Now I’m on gen 8 😂

[@SashasSpace]

Awwww I love that time does fly 🥰

[@333Abs]

Thanks for this video! I just started a new legacy save and wanted some ideas to keep it going. One thing I love doing is using a cute presentation template on canva and blogging my sims lives as if they were doing a lil story of it , with screenshots etc

[@SashasSpace]

Same I started a new legacy and just released the first lp episode yesterday. It’s my first ever one, but my own video inspired me to officially start one for my channel. I love that for you! Do you post on social media? 🥹💕💕

[@beep6185]

The number of times I just boost needs with UI cheats just a wee bit, I rarely fill them but if my sim is on a date and they won't get flirty because they need a pee?...imma pretend they went to the bathroom and just save time 😂

[@SashasSpace]

LMAOOOO so real!

[@TheDawnofVanlife]

Ha, this I consider fair. Since the game doesn't have an easy way to say 'gotta pee real quick, brb' 😂😂😂

I might have to give it a go again 😅

[@SashasSpace]

@@roelinkabek9286 Awww time is flying!

[@user-xv1cs9mm9d]

I don't know how y'all do this, i get bored after playing for three hrs or I don't even make it out of CAS 😬

[@SashasSpace]

I totally understand. I’ve seen a lot of simmers say this. I love gameplay just as much as CAS. I create sims with families, extended family and friends then start playing bc I’ve created a whole group of sims to have my sims interact with and make them feel more alive. I also play with different traits for sims and explore different gameplay aspects from careers, aspirations.. etc I’ve yet to experience the full gameplay of this game. Not only that, there’s so many mods out that I get to find cool gameplay moments from. Give yourself some time you’re gonna find a sim you will connect with and want to see their story through Lastly, I don’t play too many hours at once like I used to as of late, but maybe short increments of gameplay may just be perfect for you🥹🫶🏾 I hope your day is going amazing 💕

[@xxsniperkittykatxx]

I don't know how to commit to short lifespan. I get way too attatched, even aging up the kids.

[@SashasSpace]

I know. A lot of my saves don’t have aging on, so playing with short life span was like the opposite of what I was used to. I don’t mind my sims aging, but I just play really slow 😂. Like my LP for the Rogers family has been going on since Aug2021 I believe and the toddlers from ep1 are now young adults in college. And in that time, I also completed the ten generational gameplay too 🤣 💕💕

[@TheDawnofVanlife]

Same, I have a custom long lifespan and lengthened pregnancy to 5 days with MCCC. 😅 I don't mind Sims getting older, but I want to enjoy every stage at a nice pace. Even elder. 😊

[@TheDawnofVanlife]

I mostly watched this video out of curiosity, lol. i am more rotational than "legacy" player. 10 isn't even that many generations to me as I can easily do 10 gens of 20 familes in rotation. One of the BIG reasons I loved Sims 2 (I am on OLD school sims player) was the introduction of the life and death cycle. The idea of abandoning my Sims and starting over just wasn't a thing I even considered, I basically played the same rotation through Sims 2 til the computer that held them died and then I pretty much had to mourn there loss before I could play any sims game. Everytime a new baby is born, I am so curious what there life will be the idea if seeing it just keeps me wanting to go with the same sims. When For Rent jacked up my save I sepnt months recovering it and I have to go back a generation to do so but the idea of just 'starting over' was abhorrent to me. As a creative writer I just never bore of following/creating a new story with a new life and intersecting those stories with rotations will never not be fun to me. i also ADORE the history created by a long-lived save with characters who have naturally intersected and gotten to know each other. And characters who grow old together even and pass on having lived amazing lives.

[@SashasSpace]

I love rotational gameplay too, but the fact you’ve been playing since sims 2 is so cool💕

[@shashalove7541]

Great ideas. I have done this in Sims 3. Love doing the legacy challenge. But my way. I even had a sim fall in love with a vampire. Family was devastated. Sim had to start a new life becoming a vampire and starting her own family.

[@SashasSpace]

Ohhh I love the drama!!!

[@alleviatixn]

I’ve started the legacy challenge just recently. Base game only dlc I have right now is city living. SO I try to also make my sims of the next gen, super sims. You know with the maxed skills and aspirations before aging ANNNNNDDDD GAAAAAALEEEE THIS TAKES FOREVER DUDDEEE IM ONLY ON THE SECOND GEN. I’m having fun though and I’m finding myself pretty attached but at some point n time ima have to cut ties!😂

[@alleviatixn]

Unless the become ghosts in which case I would also be completing; having a 8 household of ghosts 🤔

[@SashasSpace]

That sounds so fun! What lifespan are you playing with btw? Yes, the death of an heir whew 😥 🫶🏾 Ghost household is interesting 👀💕

[@HopeGardner3amed]

Right now in my sims generation challenge. I am trying to do Abc kids. First child A name, second B name, third C name. It's not based on generation. It's based on generational wealth and skills just to be able to move out. Edit: I am on F right now (gen 3). With Z I am going to start the 100 baby challenge and name the kids numbers.

[@HopeGardner3amed]

Also everyone is related so there are some Alabama vibes.

[@SashasSpace]

What an interesting challenge! All the best💕

[@HopeGardner3amed]

Update: Alabama vibes backfired heir (Gail)'s parents separated, and she died in a fire now Harry is living with his single mom (only connected via marriage to legacy family, but his dad is a creep so Harry is safer with mom). Sticking with the naming convention in the active houses though. Might marry a Goth.
