The next update to Sims Legacy Hub will be coming soon; I'm hoping to finish it this weekend and publish it early next week. There will be a short period of downtime while the system updates, as usual. This update is mostly server-side fixes and optimizations, as well as design updates to the dashboard. This update will include a new feature that allows anyone to follow trees. Followed trees will display on your profile below your own trees (if you have any). It will also address a number of bugs, including an issue affecting logging into the site that some users have reported.

A lot of the work in this update is in preparation for a near-future update of a public gallery. The public gallery will be a browseable list of your public cloud trees. Trees on the gallery will have optional comment sections as well. Stay tuned for more to come soon.

We've published an update to the Sims Legacy Hub app today. This is update is mostly focused on bug fixes and optimizations, but there are a couple new things too.

Here's the rundown:

  • New search boxes for Life Stages, Occult Types, Traits, Aspirations, and Careers on the Sim editor.
  • Store multiple trees locally in your browser.
  • Fixed drag & drop images bug
  • Released a fix for browser-crashing bug (see below)
  • Performance improvements / optimizations

As part of the update, we've restructured how the app saves tree data to your browser, so if you're currently using the free browser version, you'll need to visit https://my.simslegacyhub.com/app?update=true to update your tree data to the new version.

If you have been experiencing browser crashes, unfortunately you will need to reset your browser's tree data; you can do this either by clearing your browser cache, or visiting https://my.simslegacyhub.com/app?reset=true

Fresh updates just in!

Bug fixes:

  • Resolved the characters bug
  • Improved clarity in relationships

New Features:

  • Toggle Sims and relationships on/off!
  • Introduced new life stages & relationships
  • Added text box for cause of death

Implemented features to enhance overall app usability:

  • Limit on Sims per tree
  • Character limit

We understand that limitations aren't always exciting, but as more users create accounts, we want to ensure smooth performance regardless of the number of people accessing the app. To achieve this, we are currently imposing a cap on Sims per tree and characters per detail box. Please note that these restrictions may be scaled back in the future, but for now, we're providing ample room for you to play and weave your stories without overwhelming the servers.
