Starting a legacy in Sims 3


First I started a completely new game file and for some reason Sunset Valley
just felt the most natural town choice to start my Legacy in.
(You may also use an existing game file, but your Legacy family must immediately
become the “Active Household”)


Before creating my Legacy founder I needed to make some changes
in the town because Sunset Valley is so small and had originally no space
for Equestrian Center, Horse training centre or Big Show Venue and I really
might need those in my game later. Because the Big Show Venue needed a
6x5 lot but Llama Stadium can go to 5x5 lot so that's why I moved it in
Summer Hill Court. Didn't delete those familes originally living in the area but
deleted their homes and moved them into a different locations.



Sunset Valley didn't either have a Laundromat so I made one where the spa 
used to be and got a perfect reason to create this Hidden Springs spa in my
town. It works like a normal spa and doesn't give my sims anything that the
old spa doesn't. I had in my saved community lot files parks with all the plants
you can have in Sims 3 in perfect quality but adding stuff like that in your town
is against the rules.



Changed my restaurant and supermarket into something a bit more modern too.



Town Hall you get from Monte Vista. Someone could call this tacky and I can see
their point but I love it...
 

And because because of the rules I needed a minimum 5x5 size lot for my family
I had to move that gothic family away and am going to move my legacy founder
into their old empty lot.


And then finally got to create my Legacy founder sim. I thought a farmer could be
a good and fairly basic start because it's a good way to earn money and gives the
younger generations perfect quality ingredients and it's easy to carry on from that.
Her child could be a chef or a fisher and then I could carry on to a Master Nectar
Craftsman or a Barkeeper. And from there maybe to scientific career, medical, law
and finally to real estate and political ones and so on.


The lot feels so big and empty at the beginning...



Well at least there's going to be a lot of room for my plants...


This was all I could afford. Remember that money codes and other cheats are
forbidden! I need to collect my first plants from the nature because they cost
so much in the shop... And I also need to save for ages before I can travel abroad
to get nectar plants, pomegranates, plums and so on. So annoying but so exciting
the same time!

Sims 3 Monte Vista: The Best Screenshots


Got the best place for my sim to live in Monte Vista: right next to the City Hall


Moonlit Stroll Park


A view to Via Veronaville


Coliseum. I was hoping that you could become a gladiator in here
but it works like a normal stadium.

Monte Vista centre Regalia Court


The City Hall


Light house


You can make pizza, lasagnas and calzone with the wood fire oven



And no more empty walls...


Sims 3 Hidden Springs: The Best Screenshots


If you like fishing Hidden Springs is not the worst possible place to do it!


My favourite fishing place is that island where you can swim if you have Seasons expansion.

I love the fact that I can take beautiful landscape pictures and I never have to leave home


Hidden Springs has some new locations like  Redwood Heights Luxury Lodge,
Crystal Solarium Rejuvenating Waters and Fairyfolk Park.


The view down from the hill



I think this Silver Zephyr Health Spa on its own might be enough reason to buy Hidden Springs

Up in the hill there is this fairly extreme place to have a picnic
