The Legacy Challenge for TS3
Zazazu:
Yeah. Well, I figure it's a filter being applied by default. I've looked at a lot of the XMLs involving painting, and there are instructions for applying certain styles (Somber, Insane, Genius) on a trait basis or forcing it based on moodlets. The string for forcing Insane was empty, so I almost wondered if we were all seeing the Insane look due to bad code. But when I tried just putting the surrounded by people one (can't remember the exact text at the moment) and the stir crazy one, then tested, I had no difference. Then I tried just eliminating the lines regarding forced or unlocked styles to make sure that the package was really loading. That eliminated style choice, but not the wavyness or color change.
There's another XML that might be doing it in the FullBuild0 package, as it seems like it has to do with paintings and manipulations, but it's so involved I just can't decode it. And I really, really suspect that's the one.

Would eating apples to get a boy be considered a cheat?
I wouldn't think so, seeing as it's included in the vanilla game.
This would explain why my Legacy founder has given birth to 5 boys (she has the "surrounded by family" LTW). Apples are practically the only thing they ever eat, as they do not have a fridge or stove yet. Sigh.
Pinstar:
I'm looking into a change to the rich sim rules, since that seems to be widely unpopular and annoying.
Here is my proposal, I would like everyone's opinions on it. It is not offical yet, I'm just looking for feedback.
"Your founder, and only your founder, cannot marry a rich sim. All future generations may marry any sim, rich or otherwise.
Money Legacy points capped at 20 total (2 million in net worth)
That opens up the rest of the neighborhood up for marriage, once all the townies have all made themselves rich in later generations. It also keeps Legacy point scores in line by capping the only score that technically was unlimited.
Please let me know what you all think about these two proposed changes.
Zazazu:
Sounds good to me. There should be some non-rich sims in both neighborhoods as they default. Two million is achievable but not extremely easy to reach. For your standard BBS-type audience, that should be quite hard.
How about portraits? Are you thinking about capping those? I already have seven points from portraits and my 2nd gen heir hasn't become an adult yet (just one more day).
caterpillar:
The thing with 'rich' Sims is that when you marry them, no matter how much money they have or how much their house is worth, they still only bring in 1-2k when you marry them. So the no marrying 'rich' Sims rule is pointless. The new rule is less onerous, but it's still pointless.
