Excellent news! I just got TS3 today, so I still have a little time to settle down and become familiar with the new elements of this game before you publish your Challenge.

I'm so excited to see the new challenge(s)! You totally rock for doing this.

Thanks for the heads up Pinstar, we all love your challenges and The Sims 2 was particularly exciting because of them. When I've settled into the game and broke myself in, I'll definitely give it a try!

Yessss!!!

I looooved the Legacy Challenge...I tried to get my friends to play too whenever they would mention the Sims but no one was up for it. I would always argue, "why play if there is no challenge?" Ah well. Can't wait to do another challenge!

I can't wait! This game would definitely be perfect for the legacy challenge .

I've been playing a family loosely following the legacy theme at the moment so this will be great thanks!

Yay! I can't wait to try (And fail)!

Yay! It's great to see you back. I really enjoyed seeing what people did with your Sims 2 challenge. I didn't do it, but I think I's like to try it for Sims 3.

Wow, this sounds awesome! I was never around for The Sims 2 legacy challenge...but it sounds like it's something that's right up my alley because when I play The Sims, I always play to build a legacy. (Hence why I don't really care about not being able to play multiple households in The Sims 3 because I usually only play as one anyways)

I'll be sure to keep my eyes out for the rules and to try it for myself.

I know this has prolly already been asked of you, but how long have you played the sims, and how long have you been apart of the sims online community, not to have heard of the legacy challenge?

I didnt find out about the Legacy Challnge until OFB, and by then there was sooo much to get done that it was overwhelming, it will be nice to start one with a clean new game, and fresh new rules. Hopefully it will be a good long, but no too long, while before they come out with a EP.

I might try ti write a legacy too! With a twist, so that's a good idea!

W00t Pinstar!!!

They'll need a forum just for your legacy challenge. I really look forward to it.

Hooray!

I was just thinking that one of the things that Sims 3 lacks is a basis for legacy playing.
Perhaps this time around I'll manage to actually finish a legacy. I need something to cheer myself up since Sims 2 ate my legacy family about a week before Sims 3 came out. (I believe this was a conspiracy to encourage Sims 3 purchasing. I'm onto you Eaxis.)

My guess for 'Family Trait' is that you have to pick one trait and carry it over for about 10 generations? (sorry, just me being curious).

I look forward to this; I loved playing the Legacy Challenge, though it did became a bit overwhelming when all the EP's came out. Legacy Challenge taught me how to enjoy the game without motherlode I'll keep an eye out on this thread.
