The Name Game Challenge rules I’m following can be found here.
The Random Legacy Challenge rules I’m following can be found here.
NAME GAME MODIFICATIONS AND EXTRA CHALLENGES
- No modifications as no rule here is being changed to suit Random Legacy rules
- The Patriarchy – will be doing this, but won’t be influencing gender. So it will be a matter of luck.
- Let the Public Decide
- Every generation will have an heir poll. This is to allow me to roll my Random Legacy rolls per child and not per generation.
- May not have every child on the heir poll, especially later on if I’m hurting for a few letters in the Name Game Challenge. Or if there are a lot of kids in a generation and I have a few that I just didn’t click with. If I have more than one male, only the males will likely be on the heir poll.
- Parent to an Occult
- Should be noted that I can only count Imaginary Friend if the family loses the trait and then picks it back up as Myles is an Imaginary Friend.
RANDOM LEGACY CHALLENGE MODIFICATIONS
- Number of kids will be determined by number of letters in the heir’s name and how many multiples we have. Myles will have 5 pregnancies.
- I play for genetics. Therefore I have removed all spouse options that require me to adopt kids.
- For generation 1, removed all single parent options as too many kids to realistically sell being a single parent given gender of parent and his personality.
- For generation 1 and and possibly through generation 3, removed the Criminal careers. Not opposed to them, I’ve just featured them heavily in my other stories in the same universe.
- For generation 1 removed the Social Network careers since those are better suited for future generations for the prep work needed to get into them.
- For generation 1 rerolled until one career was Law Enforcement Forensics. Rerolled the entire thing so it would be like I restarted. The only time I rerolled careers was if I got a duplicate and only for the duplicate and only until it was not a duplicate.
- Will not be doing the following careers at all:
- Film – Tired of the celebrity system and I need a break. Most Destansi’s in the main EPIC save are Level 3 or 4. At one point, I probably had a level 5 as Myles’ grandmother topped the Film career.
- Any of the professions – Too prone to bugging out.
- Busker, Freelance Photographer, Freelance Scientist, Mixologist, Dumpster Diver, Job Hopper, Part-Time Job, and Resort owner – Just don’t feel like doing those career options and challenges need to keep some level of fun to them.
- Day Care – I will have enough kids on my lot to begin with, do not need to add neighborhood kids on top of it.
- Unemployed UNLESS for a helper – EPIC mini-challenge counts topping unique careers for spouse and heir. Unemployment is not a career that counts for that
- Generational Goals
- Will not be doing the following
- Idle Career & Deadbeat Parent – can’t stand not working towards topping careers or working towards raising kids.
- Five Star Celebrity – Same reason as no Film career – tired of celebrities.
- Party to Remember, Living Green, Second Chance for Career – just don’t want to do these goals.
- Will not be doing the following
- Miscellaneous Fun
- Removed Random Traits from generation 1 as I wanted to us a born in game Sim. His traits were however randomized except for Rebellious per EPIC challenge rules along with the mini-challenge there to randomize all traits.
- If I do get this for a future generation I will reroll the following traits:
- Vehicle Enthusiast – Do not want to have to deal with the car relationships or finding a mod to stop it
- Supernatural skeptic – doesn’t make sense for the universe the story is being told in
- If I do get this for a future generation I will reroll the following traits:
- Removed No Strangers from generation 1 due to number of kids needed and desire for career progress to be made and couldn’t guarantee someone would have a career that could let them stay at home.
- Removed Luxury from generation 1 as that would likely happen anyway and I want a challenge.
- Will not be doing the following:
- Partier – Don’t care for throwing parties
- Tattoo Addict – Don’t want to force this on a specific Sim
- Fighter – Don’t want to force a personality on any of my Sims or force a storyline
- It’s So You – I find building and decorating to be relatively boring. Again removed for the rule of fun.
- Fashion Diva – Has no bearing on actual game play. And you’d likely never see the effects. Removed for lack of effect on gameplay or story.
- Half-Siblings – Don’t want to force personality or plot.
- A Sim for All Seasons – Don’t like decorating. Don’t want to do it several times in a generation. Rule of fun in play here as well.
- Removed Random Traits from generation 1 as I wanted to us a born in game Sim. His traits were however randomized except for Rebellious per EPIC challenge rules along with the mini-challenge there to randomize all traits.
