The Sims Disney Princess Legacy Challenge: Rules and Tips

The Disney Princess legacy challenge is a fun challenge where each generation is inspired by a different Disney princess!

Originally created in 2014 for The Sims 3 by a user named MissPlaying on The Sims forums, the challenge was later updated for The Sims 4.

Since the Sims forum has been closed and replaced with the EA forums, I have combined the challenges here so you can play the original version of this challenge.

I have included the rules for both The Sims 3 and The Sims 4 and added a few of my own ideas!

Generation 1: Snow White

“I’m wishing for the one I love to find me today”

Rules

• Children: Must have seven children. Each child must possess a negative trait, and no children can share a trait. All children must have the same father.
• Romance: Can marry once her seventh child has aged up into a teenager.
• Snow should not answer the door to strangers or talk to elderly women.
• Optional: Start the legacy with Snow as a teenager with an evil stepmother.

Additions for The Sims 4:

• Children: Each child must achieve one of the following before ageing into a teenager: reach level five in a toddler skill, reach level three in every toddler skill, complete their childhood aspiration, or become an A-grade student.
• Parenthood Expansion Pack: Each child must age up with at least one positive character trait.

My Tips & Ideas

• Give each of your children a trait relating to the seven dwarfs: Hot-headed (Grumpy), cheerful (Happy), self-assured (Doc), lazy (Sleepy), romantic (Bashful), neat (Sneezy) and clumsy (Dopey).
• Snow White should not eat anything containing apples.

Generation 2: Cinderella

“A dream is a wish your heart makes, when you’re fast asleep”

• Traits: Neat and natural cook.
• Skills: Reach level 8 cooking before becoming a young adult.
• Romance: She cannot marry until her mother passes away. Her death does not have to be due to old age, but cheats cannot be used.
• Children: A maximum of three children.
• She should clean the house daily and prepare every meal.

Additions for The Sims 4:

• Traits: Neat and foodie.

My Tips & Ideas

• Have her mother, Snow White, die from poisoning by eating poor-quality Puffer Fish Nigiri (City Living expansion pack).
• Meet her partner at a party, and leave before it ends.

Generation 3: Tiana

“The only way to get what you want in this world is through hard work”

• Traits: Workaholic and/or ambitious.
• Romance: Marry a Sim with a green feature, such as hair, eyes, skin, or wings.
• Work: Achieve the top of their career and should not retire.
• Father dies before the end of young adulthood.
• The Sims 3: Pets: Own a minor pet.

Additions for The Sims 4:

• Aspiration: Food.
• Dine Out Expansion Pack: Own and run a restaurant.

My Tips & Ideas

• The perfectionist and creative traits will help with cooking and running a restaurant.
• She can also be given the foodie trait.
• If you don’t have the Dine Out pack, give Tiana a culinary career.

Generation 3: Aurora

“I walked with you once upon a dream”

• Traits: Heavy sleeper.
• Romance: Meet future spouse at night while her parents are sleeping. Aurora must also run away to have a private wedding.
• Children: Have two children, preferably twin girls. Twins may be adopted, or watermelons can be used.
• Should only have three friends with BFF status.

Additions for The Sims 4:

• Traits: Lazy.
• Children: A max of two. Twin girls still preferred.
• Have three or fewer friends – family may count.

My Tips & Ideas

• In The Sims 4, the best way to get twins is to eat a honey cake (Seasons).
• Other ways of increasing the chances of twins are: the fertile reward trait, a fertility massage (Spa Day pack), Ley Line lots (City Living pack), a wishing well (Romantic Garden stuff) and the Elixir of Fertility (Outdoor Retreat).
• To increase your chances of having girls eat strawberries and listen to pop music.

Generation 5: Elsa

“Yes, I’m alone, but I’m alone and free”

The Elsa generation requires The Sims 3: Supernatural expansion pack. If you don’t have this pack, play generation 5.5 instead.

• Traits: Loves the cold.
• Romance: Does not marry.
• Children: One child, an accidental pregnancy.
• Be a witch.
• Run away as a teenager. You can have her sister locate her to bring her home.

Additions for The Sims 4:

The Sims 4 version of this challenge has Elsa as an optional generation. Instead, generation 5 is based on Anna.

If you’re playing Elsa as an optional generation in The Sims 4, the additions are:

• Traits: Loner
• Doesn’t talk to her sister until she ages into a young adult.
• She should be different from other Sims in some way.

My Tips & Ideas

• If you have the Seasons pack, give her the Iceproof reward trait, as the cold never bothered her anyway!
• If you have the Realm of Magic pack, make Elsa a spellcaster and have the spellcraft & sorcery aspiration, and try to complete it.

Generation 5.5: Anna

“We only have each other, it’s just you and me”

• Lose contact with her sister until she ages into a young adult.
• Romance: Fall in love with a criminal and experience near-death at their hands. After attaining a BFF relationship with her sister, Anna should fall in love with someone new and get married.
• Children: One child.

Additions for The Sims 4:

No additions for The Sims 4.

My Tips & Ideas

• Give Anna the goofball trait.
