Random question as I'm curious if anyone else has played this way before, but what about a 'Grew out of it' option where an adult sim chooses an adult trait to replace one of their childish ones? The way the game limits what traits a child or baby can have but pre-made sims that start as adult can have all adult only traits, things like flirty instead of loves the outdoors or whatever. People change in reality as they grow up, but I'm thinking about rolling for a single trait change when a sims grows into young adulthood if it fits the story later on. I don't have any particular plot idea about this, but if I want someone to grow out of their clumsiness or absent-mindedness, or even go the opposite way and become less disciplined as an adult I think it would open up some fun story options. At the same time, I wouldn't want to do this on every age up. Thoughts?

I didn't suggest this earlier when we were changing the rules because you have to use a cheat to change it or a good amount of lifetime happiness points, and I didn't want to suggest something that can't be done in normal gameplay (I know if your sim makes enough friends or whatever they can gain an additional trait now, but I'm not sure if that's from a patch or where that comes from- not the uni max influence additional trait- but some of my sims in another save have gained traits from having a lot of close friends for some reason).
From this list;
https://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/...ting/traits.php

Examples of adults only traits would be Born salesman, dramatic, dislikes children, charismatic, flirty, green thumb, great kisser, hopeless romantic, nat cook, nurturing, sculptor etc etc. So a sim that has the five traits Unflirty, Green Thumbed, Technophobe, Vegetarian, and Workaholic could not exist the way we play be as those are all teen and up traits. (Another thought is to change a trait if the sim in question goes through a midlife crisis, but that rarely ever happens in my games and it's kind of late in their life)

Great to see FutureCarrie posting (And Heaven, I remember you! I'll stalk your story a bit this week. :> )

You just gave your sims a midlife crisis
I use a mod that enables all traits for all ages so that not every second baby in my legacy is an excitable outdoors lover. Didn't check the new rules for that but I remember that was explicitly allowed in the old rules. If I do want to give them some sort of character development not only in the story but also in game I use the LTR, that would probably be the way to go if you wanted to include that as a roll.

As Nocriel said, there is a mod that allows all traits to be selectable for all ages (the rules specifically allow you to use it; Mods section #5), and there's a lifetime reward that can change traits (you're not allowed to use this reward on a random traits roll, but otherwise, all bets are off). There's also the Unstable trait, which changes up your sim's traits.

I also use a mod that makes all traits available to babies and children, so much nicer for diverse characters!

What mod to people use to unlock traits for babies and children? I tried one from here a while back and my game wouldn't even load. Haven't been able to find another one that works.

Hello everyone, I have been absent for the last months due to personal problems. Last month I lost my mom after a month in intensive care. This weekend I played again and I have a new chapter, which is too short, but that's what I could put together with with the few screenshots that I took.

And I have to catch up with the stories too!

I'm so sorry about your mom, CeresIn.

I have a new chapter. Updates may be even slower for the next while. I want to put my attention to figuring out how to mesh clothing. Wish me luck. I'll need it.

I am so glad that this still exists. Spent so much time doing random legacies when sims 3 was still the latest sims.

Started a new one recently, and been having fun with it. Getting some entertaining screenshots. But I forgot to start doing actual narration beyond notes and screenshots so I feel like when I'm writing the game up I'm missing a lot of the situations that occurred.

Currently on generation 2, and have single with double help. I know I'm going to have one of the sisters of the heir stay, but trying to decide if I go with the third sibling as the other help or let them leave and get married and stuff. Choices!

anyways here's a link to the blog: https://drabblesrandomlegacy.blogspot.com/ and here's the first few posts:

It'll probably have some story but it's mostly just a log of what happens. Gonna try and catch up to my current game state over the next few days with blog posts and have them release slowly.

I am back with a new chapter!

Chapter 2.5 - The Heir Is Announced

I've played until the end of Generation Two, so the remaining chapters shouldn't take too long to do.

Plus I've been given a week off work, so that's more time to play Generation Three.

We shall see.

I've never really written a Sims story before so I decided to dabble in it with a random challenge and started a blog! It follows the Rivers family (currently on gen 2 with 3 on the way). I find it hard to play more than 1-3 generations at any given time so I thought writing a story out would help keep my interest (so far so good). My Sims currently live on an isolated island but I hope to move them soon, I just wanted to start out my legacy with a bunch of Sims I've saved over the years but never got around to using.

It can be found here: The Rivers Family Legacy

There's only 4 short chapters so far but I'm working on them almost every day.
