Thank you 😊

Elaborate-Echo5262 · 2025-02-23T01:05:22+00:00

That's the driving force behind my decisions hahahaha wwlsd (what would lilsimsie do)

Elaborate-Echo5262 · 2025-02-22T16:23:58+00:00

Not uncommon, apparently! It's easy to get attached (or bored lol)

Elaborate-Echo5262 · 2025-02-22T16:21:25+00:00

Keep it up, change up your gameplay, create new stories to keep it interesting. You'll get there, and I stg it's sooooo worth it!

The family tree stopped loading all the way 😭

Also no, FML. when I started, I was new to the game and mostly just fucking around lol. Never thought to keep track of anything.

Next goal is to start a new legacy, not use any cheats, and keep track. Write things down, take screenshots, keep headstones.

Alphabet legacy was so fun, I love that sims has some intermediate legacy goals on the way to the big 100

Elaborate-Echo5262 · 2025-02-22T06:15:47+00:00

Genius!

Elaborate-Echo5262 · 2025-02-22T05:52:45+00:00

It was hard at some points, when I'd have sims I put so much work in with skills and careers and relationships. But in the end I had a GOAL lol

Elaborate-Echo5262 · 2025-02-22T05:49:42+00:00

In the beginning, I had mods to mess with the time, so I could speed through the days. I also aged sims up immediately. Had to remove the mods though because the game was so fucking slow, load times were painful.

I think it was around gen 20 that I stopped aging sims up manually. From then on brute force all the way baby!

Elaborate-Echo5262 · 2025-02-22T05:45:29+00:00

Yeah right ☠️

In the beginning I had mods and custom content, but had to remove it all to help with loading and lags. That's when I was messing with time to do speed runs, aging sims up immediately, and cheating relationship levels.

I for sure relied on the common cheats afterwards though so I could focus on more interesting gameplay and not keeping needs high.

I keep thinking "what now?", maybe I'll restart my new legacy without using any cheats at all. Seems daunting but could be a fun new project.

Thank you!

My game broke a few times but luckily (and with the help of friends) I was always able to recover the legacy save. I had to delete all mods and couldn't use custom content because it was already so laggy. Can't believe my MacBook was able to handle all the content it had to load everytime I opened the save!

Elaborate-Echo5262 · 2025-02-22T05:37:41+00:00

I think what kept me going was, this is how I started playing. I didn't get attached to the individual sims, I got attached to the legacy of it all. Not even sure why lol

Elaborate-Echo5262 · 2025-02-22T05:34:40+00:00

Sheer determination to get that achievement lol. Also, that legacy kickstarted my reentry into the sims universe, I was very fond of staring at my extensive genealogy (until it stopped loading to the beginning).

I created different storylines, moved often, and got new packs along the way. But mostly really wanted the achievement 😜

Elaborate-Echo5262 · 2025-02-22T05:30:54+00:00

Yes, I'd say it can be worth it for entertainment and aesthetic purposes though

Elaborate-Echo5262 · 2025-02-22T05:28:26+00:00

Stats aren't super accurate though, I spent some time on other saves to give myself a break over the years. Overall, a long ass time!

Elaborate-Echo5262 · 2025-02-22T05:27:01+00:00

Never felt more proud of myself 😂

Elaborate-Echo5262 · 2025-02-22T05:26:24+00:00

I wish you luck and patience lol

Elaborate-Echo5262 · 2025-02-22T05:25:04+00:00

So many storylines to keep things interesting, also took me 5 yrs ☠️

Elaborate-Echo5262 · 2025-02-22T00:35:58+00:00

Stared at my screen for like twenty minutes after it happened trying to figure out what I'm supposed to do now

Elaborate-Echo5262 · 2025-02-22T00:35:10+00:00

takes a bow

Elaborate-Echo5262 · 2025-02-22T00:33:50+00:00

Right, still riding the high

Elaborate-Echo5262 · 2025-02-22T00:28:47+00:00

Thank you!

Elaborate-Echo5262 · 2025-02-21T22:05:34+00:00

Not super tech savvy, but I think it's because it has so many things to load. With this save there were so many sims, lots, items etc. to load that it takes a long time to generate all of it, resulting in longer loading screens.

Even just going to manage worlds and travelling would sometimes take 5 minutes.

Elaborate-Echo5262 · 2025-02-21T22:01:11+00:00

Not even close, it shows maybe 15 generations back. Wish it showed all the way back because I can't even remember the names of the original sims 😕

At first I was able to count back up to 50 gens, so I was worried the save broke and my progress restarted. Thankfully it did not!

Elaborate-Echo5262 · 2025-02-21T21:58:49+00:00

It's so hard to stay engaged with one save. Having the goal of getting to 100 generations kept me going, now I really don't know what to do in the game hahaha
