Squires Legacy Lot: G7 Nordhaven House

The old lot was bugged to the point of constantly crashing. Fortunately, the new 50×50 lot seems to be fine. I low key wonder if the 64×64 lots are just too big and collect too much stuff for the game to handle, who knows. Maybe in the future I’ll use 50×50 lots for legacy challenges instead and move lots periodically; They are more common as well anyway.

There are 3 rental units on this lot: The rightmost house (the yellow one) has a rental unit on each floor that houses the spares and the goths. The third rental unit (empty at the moment) is the poolhouse loft separated off to the side. I turned the loft into a rental unit to stop sims from using that kitchen, but that didn’t seem to work so I may unrentalify it….or shove more spares into it. IDK. Only the bedrooms are restricted to the legacy main family; Everything else is a shared space so that relatives can come and go as they please and socialize.

I may extend out the garden a bit to accommodate more crops. Gardening, nectar making, and other related activities have become the primary source of income this generation.

BTW: I created a museum/art gallery in Newcrest with gallery space specifically for legacy family urns and memorial portraits, so all portrait paintings and nude photos have been moved there. I may also highlight prominent painting/crafting masterpieces.

Squires Legacy Lot: G7 Pre-Move

The lot hasn’t changed too too much since the last post aside from the barn. Mostly just shuffling things around. I just patched the game and so far, it has stopped crashing? But I fully expect the issue to return, and if it does I’m just going to build a new legacy house in Nordhaven

Squires Legacy Lot: G4 Neighborhood Move

I had thoroughly regretted starting this legacy on a 50×40 lot. When I had started this towards the end of last year, I hadn’t anticipated being able to create rental lots, which take up a sizable chunk of the lot. The lot has been moved to the 64×64 plot in Chestnut Ridge (the stupid horse expansion was on sale for like half off so I picked it up). There’s now ample space for more rental lots as well as a full on horse ranch.

I wish there was an easier way of picking up and moving lots + families to a different space without having to: Save lot, put on new plot of land, reconfigure rental, shuffle sims around with the free real estate cheat. Also, upon moving the lot: All repair upgrades were lost (that’s fine, opportunity to raise repair to 10 on the G4 kids). The legacy portraits and pictures were retained. The urns and graves were in sim and house inventories.
