The Nightmare Legacy Challenge is a Sims 4 Let's Play by Sims Youtuber Lil Simsie.

The challenge seems simple: follow one family (the Bells) for ten generations and build them from rags to riches. Each generation has an "heir" or one sim who serves as the protagonist for that generation and births the next generation. However, the game is set to the short life span setting-meaning everyone is aging much faster than usual. Chaos ensues.

The series started in 2020 and is still currently running (as of November 2022) Watch it here.
