#BuildNewcrest Legacy Challenge are created by Simply Vanilla Sims on her website. I've been playing Sims 4 for one month and yeah it get a little bit bored. I found on youtube channel, people start putting up challenge, like 100 Alien Baby Challenge, from rags to rich challenge, then I found Build Newcrest Challenge. I found it interesting, since Newcrest is brand new neighborhood and it's completely empty.
If you read it, you will play Newcrest founder families of generations. To be exact, you play 10 generations, starting from empty neighborhood to full neighborhood. I love the idea of it. Simply Vanilla made the rules and I decided to obey it, but put a little bit of else, since she created in 2015, and lot of updates came after it. I modified a bit, I made the generation 5 as restaurateur since Sims 4 now have Dine Out expansions instead of regular bar.
Rules:
