The family tree is hosted on Family Echo online and can be accessed by following the link below. You can then click the individual portraits to see more of the family, much like the Sims 3 family tree, and select the Biographical tab in the left panel to read additional information about the selected sim. The link provided takes you directly to River Aspen, the founder of the legacy in the Sims 4, but if you follow the branches up, everyone that’s ever been a part of the family tree is there. I do keep it updated to my game progress, not to the chapters, so keep in mind that there may be spoilers when looking at it. Lastly, please do not attempt to make changes to my family tree; I’ve put a lot of time and effort into creating it and keeping it updated, and it would be extremely rude and offensive to me, as the creator, if someone were to come along and be purposely destructive to it.

The Taylor Legacy 
Your family tree is awesome, WowLynnia! I got here via The Sims 3 site via the thread ‘who has got the best family tree comp’. It seems the comp has died out since, but you certainly have the most extensive and efficiently designed tree!
I went to Image Shack, but access was denied, so I’m not sure how to download the program myself. However, I’ve bookmarked you’re site and will be looking forward to delving into the tale of your legacy!
Thank you for the link, Wowlynnia. I’ve read the site and so, thank you for the update as well.
It’s a little disappointing you won’t write anymore, but I appreciate the time it takes.
I’m writing the Crumplebottom Chronicles at the moment (hence the interest in family trees even though I don’t need one yet) and it takes ages to get my webpages right. I miss outright playing quite a bit, but making a story is fun too.
Chronicles is different from legacies, but I’ve added a link to your site in my blogroll if that’s all right. You can find it here: http://observerxp33.wordpress.com
(Sorry, but I don’t no how to make this an active link.)
Almost a year later, I’m now starting the blog back up, for the most part. Of course, eleven generations of the family have gone past since it was last updated, but it’s under construction now and will eventually be up and running again.
I really like this! It’s the best legacy story I’ve read…I’m trying to start one myself and would love any tips. I’ve tried blogspot for it, but there isn’t much space to customize it. Is wordpress better? Thanks for any tips you can give me, and I can’t wait to read more!
Thanks so much! I’ve never tried blogspot, but I know wordpress has a lot of options for customization. I’m not that savvy with web pages, but I’m slowly figuring it out.
It took a lot of trial and error last year to get a flow for how I wanted to write my legacy blog posts, and everyone has their own way of doing it. 🙂 When you start yours, you should give me a link to it! I’d love to give you feedback.
Thanks so much! I ended up making an account here (posted as youryello_bird) and I put up some stuff. Here’s a link!

Thanks for any feedback!
WOW! That’s a lot of sims. I’ve never done a legacy challenge. I’m not good with pregnant sims/baby sims.
Lol ^_^ I do get annoyed if I have more than three children in the house at one time, though. I don’t really like having more than five or six sims in a household at once, but I did have one generation with seven children. xD I love legacies. Both in TS2 and TS3, legacies are pretty much all I play.
I have started a page some what like this one for all of the ones that are not in the legacy house. I will put all of the ones that are not the legacy family in a list by generation. I am not sture if I am going to add generation 3 pictures to the ones that are on the list, but will make sure that I have their traits and a bio about them.
I’ve had a reader request I use family Echo.. after hours of painstakingly searching for pics and names I’ve finally put one together but I can’t work out how to get a link for it to post on my site.
Any ideas?
thanks
No matter….I found it lol
xD Sorry that I didn’t reply earlier. I’ve been really, really sick lately. :s That’s why it’s been so long since I’ve gotten a chapter up. Glad you figured it out, though!
I love your Legacy! I just started mine off, and I’ve finally got my website started. But I have a question: how did you make the banner thing that’s under your post on the sims board..?
Thank you! The banner is the same banner that’s on my website, just resized. 🙂 I used a combination of MS Paint and Paint.net with screenshots from the game resized to make it, then uploaded it to imageshack.us to post it on the forums. Good luck with yours. 🙂
Thank you! 🙂
Amazing. Truly amazing that you have played the same family for 21 generation. Hats off for you 😉 Keep up the good job 😀
Hi WOWLynnia, I’ve read your legacy on and off for ages! I’m now starting my own and had a quick question about Family Echo. I’ve used the tool to build my sims family but I don’t know how to make the link work in my wordpress blog, or how to make it read only, but I notice you’ve been able to do both? Would you mind telling me how?
Sure, no problem. 🙂 When you have your family echo page open, click on the family member you want to link to initially and under their portrait should be a button labeled, “Invite [name] to share family.” Click that, and at the bottom of the sidebar should be a box that gives you a link to use, but before taking that link, make sure you un-check the box that says, “Allow [name] to edit family.” After doing that, the link will refresh, then just copy and paste it to your blog page. ^_^
Thanks for replying so quickly! Where under their portrait will the ‘invite to share family’ be? On the sidebar?
Yep, on the sidebar, just underneath their portrait. 🙂 Also, it’s only visible on individuals who are marked as being still alive.
Oh don’t worry! I found it, just doesn’t work for the founder or their immediate heirs. Thanks so much for your help!
No problem! ^^ Good luck
Oh I get it… because the heirs and founder aren’t alive :P. Oops.
Hey WOW, I’ve got my wordpress site up and running and hopefully have the foundation for a first chapter. Would love your feedback though! It’s a bit hard as I’ve already played this family for a while… so the blog will be backdated a bit. I thought if anyone knows how that feels it’d be you! http://thevictorialegacy.wordpress.com/
How did you make it a read only on the website????
When you have your family echo page open, click on the family member you want to link to initially and under their portrait should be a button labeled, “Invite [name] to share family.” Click that, and at the bottom of the sidebar should be a box that gives you a link to use, but before taking that link, make sure you un-check the box that says, “Allow [name] to edit family.” After doing that, the link will refresh, then just copy and paste it to your blog page. 🙂
How do you add a picture to your family tree?
How can you save your family tree?
Help!
If you’re using the same website that I do, when you click on the name of the person on the tree, on the left column, there is a button labeled “Add photo for [name]”.
To save, in the upper right-hand corner of the site, there is a “Save” button near the “My Account” button.
This is the most in depth family tree I’ve ever seen on a legacy! Love it. I still am in awe at how much time this must have taken. I have read your entire legacy, but its been awhile, I need to reshresh on some of the later chapters 🙂
Thank you! I actually love keeping track of it and update it regularly as I’m playing. 🙂 I have a backup version in Excel that’s just to track the legacy descendants, as well.
