๐Ÿ“– The story

Your DLC shelf, turned into a family tree. Each generation lives and breathes a single pack โ€” a city-living heir, a spellcaster heir, a horse-ranch heir โ€” played in the order the packs released, until your whole collection has had its moment in the sun.

๐Ÿ’ The goal

Build **one generation around each pack you own**, played in release order.

๐Ÿš€ Getting started

  • List your packs in release order. Your founder's generation is themed to your earliest pack; each heir takes the next.
  • Order your packs by release date; theme generation 1 to the first.

๐Ÿ“‹ General rules

  • Each generation centres on one pack's headline feature.
  • Packs are used in release order.
  • One heir carries the line to the next pack.

โœจ Specific rules

  • A generation must meaningfully complete its pack's signature content (e.g. a Get Famous heir reaches stardom; a Realm of Magic heir becomes a spellcaster).
  • No skipping ahead โ€” packs are played in order.
  • The bloodline continues until every owned pack has had a generation.

โœ… What you can do

  • Use every pack you own, ordered by release date; money cheats are fine per generation.
  • Use `bb.moveobjects`.

โ›” What you can't do

  • Play the packs in release order โ€” don't reorder for convenience.
  • Each generation must centre on its pack; don't skip a pack you own.

๐ŸŽฎ If you don't own the packs

With no packs this is simply a base-game legacy; the challenge grows with each pack you add, so base-game players just run a standard legacy until they buy more.

๐Ÿ’ก Strategy tips

  • Write your pack release-order list first; it's your entire roadmap.
  • Theme each heir's home world to their pack (a Get Together heir in Windenburg, an Island Living heir in Sulani) for full immersion.
  • Pace births so each heir has time to fully complete their pack's feature before the next.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Want it harder?

  • Each generation must 100% its pack โ€” every aspiration, world and headline mechanic the pack adds.
  • Stay on a single lot, Legacy-style, the whole way.
