Pinstar here just checking in to see how everyone is enjoying the new game. Yes I may have dropped off the face of the simearth but I'm back.

I just wanted to announce that I am going to be making a Legacy Challenge for TS3. in fact it is currently in the writing and play testing phases at the moment.

I should have the rules posted within the next week or two.

As to what it will contain, I'm going to keep most of it a secret. If you are familiar with my Legacy Challenge for TS2 you'll be familiar with the theme and feel of the challenge, but there are some distinctly new aspects added to it (and quite a few bulky, annoying and cumbersome aspects stripped away too).

A hint for one of the new optional rules:

"Family Trait"

Wow thank you so much!!! I have been wondering about it and I'm so excited to make my first TS3 legacy family

Thanks for the info! Glad that you migrated over here, Pinstar.

OOOoooo Can't wait!

I did enjoy the Legacy Challenge in TS2

I never knew about the "legacy challenge" in ts2. Would anyone care to enlighten myself and everyone else who has no idea what this is?

It's a fun, ten-generation challenge with a bunch of rules/restrictions.

Yay for Pinstar!
... You don't know me. D:
I never really completed a legacy in The Sims 2.. because I fail. lol
But I definitely want to learn about the new rules, and see how The Sims 3 will work out. I was trying to start one up today, but for some reason my uploader..
will not upload my pictures.

Well, I can't wait to see your official board for The Sims 3 Legacy Challenge!
Thanks for sharing with us.

Oohh, I'm looking forward to trying a legacy S3 style.

Sounds like fun!

Cool, Pinstar. Legacy challenge seems like it would work well for TS3.

I was just thinking, last night, that this game would be perfect for Legacy plus it would be a good way to get to know the game.

One of the first rules for the challenge in TS2 was you had to start with a single sim and meet a townie and build a relationship and get married and start a family. Then do that again for a total of 10 generations. You also couldn't use cheats and had to start on an empty lot. I hope my Prima Guide arrives before the rules for LegacyTS3 do or I may not even know HOW to move a sim into a required lot and start it

Ooh, a sims 3 legacy challenge will be fun!

I'm so excited!!
I've been thinking about just creating one, not sure if another was coming out...
BUT NOW IM THRILLED!!

It will take a bit longer, I find it takes longer to play than the sims2, but that's okay. =]

Hey, Pinstar! Good to see you here. ^^

I can't wait until you're finished. I would love to know the offical rule for my simmies legacies.
