    I remember when I fixed Error Code 12 for the first time. I felt like a genius because a lot of people online claimed that it was a game over. All I had to do was delete a bunch of mediocre fishing-related memories that one of my sims had.

      @@daevastafford Memories bloat the file size, sims get a ton of memories from fishing, and that one sim had the private aquarium LTW, so she had so many fishing memories that there wasn’t enough RAM to save.

      this is why you need a mod that makes it so only important stuff like getting married or someone dying are saved as memories, instead of getting new memories everytime you send your sim to a community lot or everytime they catch a fish

      Back when I was really invested in sims 3 and needed an escape from everything (like 6th grade) I think the farthest I've gone with a family was 36 generations (pain in the ass to keep a save file working that long.... but damn that was a fun family)

    • @DBT1007
      @DBT1007 4 месяца назад +1

      to have long generation is actually easy. i mean indeed it took you so long.
      but it's just basically your sims pumping babies. at least 1 baby.
      the hard one is how to maintain your family's wealth at least the same level as the previous generation. better if you can improve the wealth.

    This and you are so amazing. You seriously broke my heart when you stopped making videos about this family, I love seeing what each new generation would get up to. I know I could never keep a save this long because I have far too many mods and custom content. Good job!

    I’ve been using the randomizer for traits for a while now cause I realized my gameplay was getting stale. It definitely does help give them more personalities and it makes me love my sims even more

  • @halwaffles

    Something that really helps me to stay interested in a family for a longer time is to create stories and narratives. I know that might seem obvious but it really was a game changer for me.

  • @pidgin__
    @pidgin__ Год назад +7

    started my first legacy in the sims 4 a week or so ago, being 2 years deep in a save in REAL TIME already sounds insane! I totally agree with randomizing traits/aspirations, my first baby boy wants to be a social butterfly and has the loner trait, so that'll definitely be interesting.

    I'm now on my 5th generation and I don't think I've ever gone for this long. I'm gonna go as far as the game lets me, but it's been so fun. So far all of my sims have looked pretty similar to the founder and it's honestly so cool to see those traits go down the family line :') I was stupid and chose Isla Paradiso as my world but to be fair I thought I wasn't gonna go for this long

    • @NotMalcolm

      @@NotMalcolm It is really cool :) also it's cool to have so many items from previous generations. I also def find myself randomizing traits and just overall putting my sims into different careers and doing things I never tried before.

    I have had the same family in my game since I bought Sims4 in 2014. There are well past 40generations. So much so that my family tree has been disappearing for years. I wasn’t privy to save files until a couple years ago so I cannot go all the way back to the first generation of the family but I still have the very first urn of the father who died in that family. The name of the sim is gone now but his urn remains
