The Astrology Legacy Challenge is a popular new challenge in The Sims 4 that follows the planets, including Mercury, the Sun, Venus, and more. Each generation will have different traits they must adhere to, as well as aspirations and careers. Along with this, each generation has certain colors they must stick with based on their planet, including their makeup, hair, clothing, and more.

There are quite a few general rules that players must follow as well to properly complete the challenge. This includes:

  • You must complete the given aspiration and careers for each generation.
  • The only cheats allowed are small money cheats and the 'freerealestate' cheat for the first generation.
  • You must be set to Lifespan Normal for the whole challenge.
  • All heirs must follow the colors based on their planet, including their makeup, hair, clothing, and more. You can pick any skin tone.
  • You can live wherever, unless the specific generation says otherwise.
  • You must complete every task before moving on to the next generation.
  • If you find a task that requires a pack that you don't have, you can skip the task.
