Moving Sims in:

Sims that are identified by your sim as "Rich'
This is going to restrict you to NPCs after a few generations. At gen 4 of my current neighborhood, absolutely every family in my game is considered rich.

Spare: A sibling of an heir, who can become an heir should anything happen to the current heir. Spares may be fed to the time stream or kept on the lot if you wish. They are eligible to earn legacy points for the family.
Only if they remain on lot, correct? You may want to clarify that.

Mate: A sim brought in from outside the family to reproduce with the current generation's heir to produce the next generation. When the next generation is born, the mate becomes part of the family bloodline and eligible to earn points.
Does brought in = moved in, or do sperm donors count? Are actions done before the birth of the next generation eligible for points, or does time only move forward?

Portraits: 1 point for creating a portrait of a family member and keeping it on display after their death. Like above, the sim must be part of the family tree and living in the legacy house to qualify for this point. You earn this point after the portrait is created, you do not have to wait for the sim in the portrait to actually die. Portraits are still worth their points even if the family member pictured is moved out of the house later on. The skill of the artist doing the portrait does not matter, as long as it features the sim in question it counts. Portraits may be of any size or style. Keep in mind that a sim must have a painting skill of at least 5 to get the option of painting a still life (needed to capture a sim's picture).
This is a mad-crazy exploit. With this, it pays to spawn as many children as possible, paint their picture, and then move them out as soon as you can to make more room for spawn. If that's what you want, okay. But you may want to restrict it to heir line only.

Ghost babies are not considered part of any bloodline.
Good. I'm currently waiting for my one indiscretion to die. Ghost babies are so annoying.
Yeah, I would suggest some formatting. Bold headings, bullet point items. Also, more clarification on who counts for points and who doesn't. Because I've played TS2 Legacy challenge several times, I think I know what you are going for, but as it is some sections are unclear or exploitable in ways I don't think you want them to be. As I understand it, all points can only be earned by residents of the One True House who are part of the heir bloodline. And seriously, portrait exploit. Big one.

If you can't marry in rich sims then doesn't that make the Gold Digger LTW impossible?
ciane:
Maybe there can be a one-time exception if the gold-digger LTW actually rolls.
I like the option to create the founder the way we like and pick the neighborhood. I am also really glad to see that it is LTW-driven.
I am not excited about the portraits as most of those turn out horrible and after a while I'd have to play with walls down to ignore them.
Alex:
Out of interest, can hidden traits be selected? I'm guessing no since you need a mod to enable them in CAS (although Pyromania would make a great family trait). Although, I'm surprised you haven't included trying to get them into the family as a part of the challenge, as that could potentially make things interesting.

Not technically. If one of your Legacy sims pops the gold digger LTW, and marrying a rich sim is out of the question, then the LTW is off the table in that instance.
If your Legacy sim marries a mate who has the Golddigger LTW, then the sim joining the fambly would be the one who could earn the LTW point for Golddigger, as long as your Legacy sim would have been considered rich when the pair got married. (At least, that's how the process seems if you read the game guide entry of the Golddigger LTW.) Marry rich sim --> see ghost of rich spouse.
Edited for clarity.
