One veteran discovered a fun and rare achievement that not many players might be aware of. series is known for its interesting achievements and challenges that players can take on. Some challenges are created by Simmers, while others are created by Maxis itself. Some of the best challenges go hand in hand with achievements and are dependent on the players' preferences and time constraints. It makes sense that a lot of the achievements go unnoticed because of how in-depth they are, much like the one that this Simmer discovered after years of playing.
Reddit user thetiniestlifeboat shared a screenshot of the notification they received while playing. The notification congratulated them on being a «Legacy Leader,» which is described as playing 10 households for 10 generations in the same world.
This is an especially impressive feat because of how long it takes a lot of time to play through even one generation. Many comments in the post acknowledged that they had never known this challenge existed, most often citing their inability to make it past a few generations of one family.
Another fun official challenge mentioned in the comments of the post is the Alphabet Challenge, which is when a player plays the same household for 26 generations and also unlocks an achievement. This has to be done organically without cheats or adding Sims to the household in CAS, otherwise the achievement will not unlock. The final generational challenge is when a player reaches 100 generations in one household and the achievement is called the «Legendary Legacy.»
Though there is no way to track how many people have hit these milestones, it is likely the number is low for the Alphabet Challenge, and even lower for the Legendary Legacy.
Many players will play one household for a few months but then get bored and try something new. Players will often find something that takes their attention away from the main household they're playing. From testing out a new occult to trying to build something epic in, no session is the same. It's also possible some players have attempted the challenge, but the game decided to throw them a curveball and do something sinister to their Sim, like death via hysteria.
Because of the way a lot of players play, it is not surprising that they don't stick with the same household for that long, let alone 10 households. Thanks to challenges like the «Not So Berry Challenge,» which specifically challenges players to play for 10 generations, and the addition of more family-oriented in-game options, introduced in the Growing Together expansion pack, players have more ways to spice up their game play than ever before. Hopefully, this will encourage more people to try to reach these exciting milestones and

As excited as some may be for new ship-building options or city maps in Starfield, there’s the ever-present question of when official mod support will go live. Director Todd Howard confirmed it would be this year, previously stating the sci-fi RPG would be a “modder’s paradise.” As it turns out, some new information will be dropping soon.
Bethesda Game Studios has been promising new content and features for Starfield for a while now, and though updates for the space-faring RPG haven’t been as significant as many would have hoped, more new details have emerged on when to expect some of that. Shattered Space, for instance – which will be Starfield’s first paid expansion – has been given a narrower launch window.
The Avengers: Secret Wars cast may have added an actor from the original team's roster, one fans haven't seen since the Infinity War saga concluded with Endgame.
There isn’t another game series more loaded with pop culture references than Goat Simulator. Pilgor, the crazy, ragdoll-tossed, licking protagonist of the series has been getting up to endlessly stupid hijinks for 10 years, and what started as a daft premise built from a game jam idea has now spawned a decade of insanity, spoofing almost every major video game along the way such as Skyrim, Dead Island and even P.T.
