More challenging challenge
Zeljka:
A serious flaw I've found with the game is that you can't have real slobs. Why is it that my 5th generation of Legacy which was completely spoiled, lazy and sloppy felt compelled to tidy up dinner plates and clean the toilets? Why is it that they may begin to mop when they could be standing by idly waiting for the servant to get it?
Despite having a number of 0 neat sims, I've only seen one who completely hygeine failure sniff the green fog and sort of giggle, then unconcerned, start dancing. The others race to the nearest shower. They all whine about filth regardless of 0 neat and 0 cleaning skill. Hey, maybe someone will eventually make a slob mod? heh heh

I loved this idea for a challenge so I decided to play it a bit and see about personal rules I would impose based on the short descriptions of each generations handicap.
I started with a CAS sim. Picked any aspiration and any turn ons. I hate doing this as I prefer to have random Sims that seem to have their own wants not my imposed ones so the next step was to by my sim the largest log (6x5) in nightlife. From there I used TJ's college adjuster to randomize the Sims personality and aspiration. This would give the sim a chance to be some what of a mystery to play. From there I let my little knowledge sim (yeah remember saying round one sucks for a knowledge sim. well it does.) get a job and begin trying to make it. Now one rule I made for myself is every person teen or over has to have a car. Simply to take funds away from the family and make it more interesting. Next the starter sim has to wait 7 sim days before getting married or moving in another sim. If your starter is female she can get prego during that time but daddy can't move in. I also imposed the rule that the starter Sims marriage/ or marriages had to all be for love and chemistry. EX. two or more lighting bolts. Other than that you are welcome to choose any spouse. Next I imposed the rule that the sins of the father or mother will visit the child. Meaning if the parents do not allow x during there generation until there generation dies the not allowing of x is still valid. So example the first generation can not use bookcases. Therefore until they die there offspring can not use bookcases or attend college etc. Also if said first generation is resurrected their handicap goes back on everyone in the household until they die again. Now continuing with above example. Children start the second generation; the parents do not face the child's second generation handicap.
Ok so this is there I am at so far. My second generation just grew into children and toddlers. The Starter Sims is 5 days from elder hood and mother closer to 17. So I decided to make up another rule. Midlife Crisis, only one per sim, Will either occur if your Sims loses there job for the first time. Or has never lost a job but makes it to there 10 days before elder hood mark. I used TJ's college adjuster again to randomly chance aspiration. That way it spices up there lifespan and their elder wants etc. In my game the starter sim who is knowledge became a romance sim at his midlife crisis. His wife is also a knowledge sim I am dying to see what she will be.
Anyway hope everyone likes these suggestions.
Linda.

Wow. You made it a lot harder than I had in mind. I hate the poverty handicap, so my rule is to allow one motherlode at the start.
As far as when the handicap changes over is concerned, I wanted a bit more turnover, so my rule is that the handicap will apply to the household for the duration of the heir's adulthood. Heirs will develop their personal issues when they become teens and get aspirations, but cannot impose them on others until they are adults. If your heir turns teen and his/her parent is already an elder, perhaps there will be a power struggle in the house. Maybe both obstacles will be in place until the teen is an adult and becomes ascendant.
I also think that members of the family who are being forced to live in these regimes may rebel a little. That is, perhaps if your heir's wife during the no bookcase generation doesn't have that good a relationship with him (as happened in my house, they were living together, but not yet in love), she might be inclined to sneak out to a community lot an study mechanical. It would be okay for the spouse or children to try to get around the rules, but not the person who was the source of the obstacle. Thus, heirs may have two handicaps to deal with during their teen years, but once moved out to college (if they could, depending on the generation) they could ignore the household rules.

I love the poverty aspect hehe. I love imagining that my started sim is a imagrant with only enough money for land and a tiny bit left over to start his life over. I never use motherlode or kaching never have unless i am testing something in a none save lot.
