ETA: Zazazu, I like the way you've done your family tree, did you use a template or just do it all free hand?
I use the in-game ones as a template, but have to do heavy tweaking to get all the in-laws in, and of course add names and breeding relationship symbols.
The 1st gen spouse got his LTW, to be Emperor of Evil. Immediately after he got home, all three girls rolled the want to be Leader of the Free World. I had him quit before the harmony was further destroyed.
Stupid question that I suspect everyone but me knows the answer to: how do you get the pictures you use in your family tree diagram? Screenshot + cropping, or something easier?
MasterDinadan:
How about this...
Marry whoever the hell you want and just use the AwesomeMod cheat to subtract all of the money that the newcomer brought in.
My first gen married Lisa Bunch. I'm not sure whether she is rich or not but my sim didn't identify her as such. Her house was worth 90k when I married her, and she brought 5k (I think when she moved in).
In fact, I tried moving in the entire Bunch family. Since they weren't rich I figured it was allowed and I could get all that money. Turns out, even if I sold the bunch house and furniture and moved all of them into my family, I still only got 5k for it.

That might be a glitch that gets patched later. However, for now, it does seem that marriage/move-ins do not bring funds related to the cost of the house and land. Marriage to a single sim living in a 65K house by himself only brought 1.5K to the household funds and the option to bring any furniture with him was grayed out.

Yeah, in short. I put the game in windowed mode to negate the crappy darkening effect. Screenshot with different sims selected on the trees so that I have a normally-sized portrait of all relations, which can take several shots. Paste them in layers on a blank document in Photoshop. Select and delete the game background and blue tree background. Move my layers about so that I can see all the thumbnails at once and merge those transparent layers. Then cut, paste, smoosh around. Fix any inconsistencies with the relation lines. Add name text. Add marriage/friend/etc. relationship icons that I cut from the relationship panels.
Updating portraits is a cinch, but adding in another family tree after a marriage is not.
Here are the three girls. It was nice to have my pick, since I decided to do a matriarchy. The girl on the left, Julia, is the heir. I almost picked Penny, center, but she's Mean-Spirited and after Adele I just don't think I can stand another sim stuck in a crabby expression the majority of the time. Nellie, right, is the eldest and was eliminated from late childhood due to her pissing me off and almost flunking out of school. I left her fishing while I was fixing a messy situation for three days.

Well, that's a nice rewrite of history. Because it only got horrifically complex after you posted it here and people pwnt you.
That's absolutely not true!
Some of them changed when I was pwnt on other boards too :)
In all seriousness, your points are well made. I've already revised the money legacy points to include house values AND cash on hand, and I'm currently playtesting a kelpto sim with the intent on abusing the trait just to see if it is as broken as it seems. There is a good chance that at least the klepto rule won't make it, especially as people discover more and more ways to churn money quickly.
