The Sims 4 is a game of thriving families, chaotic energy and questionable life choices. Keeping Sims alive (and hopefully not bankrupt or emotionally drained) is a challenge alone for every player. From the first Sims game in the series to the most recent, Sims 4, players have been keeping families alive for literal decades. Building a legacy family isn't just about Sims that are cute, or funny, and it's definitely not micromanaging every single sim (or is it?), it's about creating a story and playing it.
