The Legacy Challenge for TS3
Zazazu:
Gardening: garlic, bell peppers, and money trees. That's probably the easiest and most consistent money well in the game.
Damn Raphael seems incapable of passing on a Y chromosome. He had two daughters he abandoned to join the gang. He and Adele had three girls, with one about to move out and 1 day left until elder for Adele when I decided to let them try for a baby. She ended up with twins. Girls. Again. No watermelon has been allowed.
Pinstar, have you seen the portraits chugged out in TS3? They are garish.

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.
Klepto is a minor moneymaker, but the game already heavily penalizes the value of stolen objects: A stolen item is reduced to a small fraction of its original value, so unless you are intentionally setting up lots populated with extremely expensive objects that exist solely for the purpose of being stolen, it's not a very big moneymaker.

You know... I never realized that. Thank you for showing me the light!
Now I need to restrict bell peppers, money trees and garlic...(J/K) I'll probably take out the klepto bit pretty soon, especially in light of the value penalty that I didn't realize existed.
And yes Zazazu, I agree the portraits are not the snapshots of the TS2 days. Could someone mod in a 'not suck' option for the 'stylized still life'?
I've found more success with sims in a lot of artifical light. The best one I got to come out was of one of my test family's wife. She was in the cheap shower at the time and I took the picture through the distorted glass at her head and hair. The distortion of the shower glass combined with the natural distortion now ingrained in the portraits actually produced a decent portrait...unlike my founder's portrait which looks like it was painted using a bag of moldy Cheetos.

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 :)

Thank you for a great laugh Pinstar. Most people emphatically deny being pwnt, much less admitting having been pwnt elsewhere when there are no witnesses on hand to prove otherwise.
Thanks for being a good sport.
Nikki:
My founder and her husband had 5 children, a set of twins and triplets thanks to his wish to be surrounded by family. While the triplets were still toddlers, and he and my founder were barely sleeping in shifts with less than $1000 in the bank, he rolls a want for 10 children. He must have a hidden insane trait. He also has a tendency for hideous offspring. When the twins aged to teens I had to immediately rule out my initial pick as heiress as she looked too much like a bobble-head doll, every time she ran I was afraid she would topple over. The next one I had to give her a hairstyle to cover her face, she's actually very pretty but she has her dad's nose which makes me want to scream in fright.
I'm waiting till the triplets age up to finally choose an heiress (founder had all girls). At the moment they live in a 3 room house. The bathroom was built after several embarrassing moments and moodlets (with loss of relationship points) from the open bathroom and I had to add on a separate room after the triplets were born so they wouldn't keep waking everyone up.
Two questions: 1. Are identical twins possible? I doubt it, seeing that they don't tell you that you have two babies on the way,only a recurring naming box indicates this occurrence, but I wanted to be sure.
2. Has anyone else noticed that a crying or singing baby will awaken anyone aged child or older in the same room but other babies right next to them continue sleeping sometimes? It doesn't make sense. Sometimes the babies will get a rude awakening moodlet but other times they sleep like nothing has happened.
