If you have Nightlife installed, include this module with your core rules.

The Legacy Challenge: Nightlife

Welcome to the 3rd installment of The Legacy Challenge. Nightlife brings a wide variety of new elements to one who would leave a Legacy. From vixens to vampires, poker to parking, fury and perfume; Nightlife will challenge the most dedicated of Legacy players. Without further a-do, I bring you the Official Nightlife Legacy Challenge.

This module is designed for use with the original core rules. You can find it here

New Beginnings

You may start the challenge normally or you may attempt an Xtreme start.

Xtreme start:
You may start with either a graduated Young Adult founder, or a normal CAS adult founder. Rather than starting on a 5X5 lot, you must start your family in a 6X5 lot. The purchase of land will leave you with a meager $1,500 to start your legacy with. Furthermore, those attempting an Xtreme start may NOT move-in, marry, or merge households with any other sim for one sim week. Your found MUST be alone and on his or her own for one sim week. After that week has passed, the normal rules for Sims joining the household apply.

Why Do an Xtreme start? Legacy points my friends Legacy points. Nothing adds to honor and glory of a family quite like very humble beginnings.
An Xtreme start with an un-educated adult founder is worth 2 points
An Xtreme start with a Young Adult founder is worth 1 point.

If you do a normal start, the “no new family members for 1 week” rule does not apply.

For those with slower systems:

If your computer can’t quite handle a 5X5 lot or a 6X5 lot, do not fret. You can actually now starts your Legacy Challenge on ANY sized lot. Here is how you do it. Create your empty lot and move the founder in. Take note of how much the lot cost. Use the new Family funds cheat to subtract money from the family until they are left with $4,500 in starting funds (for normal starts) or $1,500 in family funds (for Xtreme starts

If you don’t want to bother with all these calculations and cheats, just start your family on a 5X5 or 6X5 lot; you’ll automatically have the proper starting funds.
This is the ONLY time the “familyfunds” cheat is legal in the Legacy Challenge.

Moving the Legacy Challenge household.

Many of those (myself included) who have taken their Legacy Challenges into the later generations have found that bugs start to creep into their lots. A bugged Legacy house can bring a glorious Legacy to a screeching halt. With the new inventory system, you can easily pack up your bags and move to another lot. The new lot does not need to be empty, it can have a house on it already, but it may NOT have a family in it already. The new lot must at least cost as much as the plot of land you started the game with (IE you can’t move to a new house and make money on the move.) Legacy Challenge Xtreme starters may not move during their 1st week of existence.

Downtownies

Treated just like townies. You may marry or move them in just like you can Townies and NPCs.

Community Graveyards

You may send your deceased Sims to a community graveyard rather than keep them on the lot. You still retain the points earned from the graves. However, doing this will eliminate your “Free Roaming Ghosts” bonus.

The ReNuYu reward object
Using it to change turn-ons and turn-offs is free
Using it to change aspirations costs 1 Legacy point per use. The exception to this is when your sim gets changed into the Grilled Cheese aspiration. In that case, you lose no Legacy Points. Changing out of Grilled Cheese to a normal Aspiration will, however, cost you 1 point.

Dice:
Rolling a 6 no longer allows you to “Pick your own” aspiration. Rolling a 6 now represents the Pleasure Seeker aspiration.

New Scoring

“Time in a bottle” (AKA ‘The big secret’)
For every 30 FULL bottles of Elixir of life your family buys, gain 1 Legacy point

There is no limit to this bonus. Once you get 30 you can delete them all and start again, keeping note of your earned point (so the lot doesn’t get cluttered with elixirs). This scoring option rewards players who fulfill a LOT of their Sims’ wants. This bonus will be available to ALL Legacy Challenge players, and will not require Nightlife or University to earn.

“Black Sheep Bonus” (One time only)
Gain 1 point for creating an alien/zombie/vampire on your lot. They need not stay on the lot or live for you to keep this bonus.

Pleasure Seeker Impossible wants (this is not set in stone)
“Have 100 first dates” “Have 50 dream dates”

Xtreme start (uneducated founder) 2 points
Xtreme start (educated founder) 1 point.

Bonus Changes

University Bonus: 1 point if your sim entered and graduated college as a vampire.

“Free Roaming Ghosts” bonus increased to 4 points

“Pleasure seeker” and “Grilled Cheese” added to the “set of platinum graves” bonus. Bonus increased from 1 to 2 points.

“Death by sunlight” added to the “Ghost Color Bonus”

New NPCs

Host
Waiter
Mr. Big (-1 rather than +1)
The Diva (-1 rather than +1)
The Slob
The Grand Vampires
The Cook (Worth 3 points instead of 1)
The Matchmaker (You can marry her but she’ll never add her genes to the family)

Unlike all the other NPCs, having the cook add his or her genes to the family is worth 3 points. This is because of how difficult it is to get the cook on your contact list.

New Penalties
Changing Aspirations with the ReNuYu reward: -1 per use unless new aspiration is grilled cheese.

Moving in Mr. Big or the Diva –1. This is to counter-balance the huge sum of money and objects they bring with them. If your female sim breeds with Mr. Big without moving him to the lot, you still get the 1 NPC point without the penalty.
