The Season Legacy

The Seasons Legacy Challenge is a mini legacy challenge for The Sims 4, created by GinovaSims, that focuses on the four seasons. Each generation has a different set of goals and requirements before the new heir takes over. The challenge is designed to be flexible, allowing players to adjust or skip rules if they are missing certain packs.

General Rules

• Pick any three of the five traits offered for each generation, and one of the two aspirations. For an extra challenge, you can try to complete both aspirations.
• This challenge contains a lot of gameplay from a variety of expansion, game, and stuff packs. Feel free to skip or adjust any rules if you are missing content.
• If you do this challenge, please credit @ginovasims.

Vague Guidelines / Suggestions

• The heir can be any gender; they don’t have to be female. They can also be any sexuality.
• Children don’t have to be genetic; they can be adopted, and you can have science babies.
• Mods and custom content can be used.
• Use the hashtag #SeasonsLegacy on tweets, posts, and videos.

Please note: each generation mentions a seasonal festival – interpret this how you wish! You can create a holiday in the calendar, visit a festival lot, just do traditions, or whatever you wish to do.
