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).
I think I'll go as far as the "must grow sim up from infant to YA" rule to prevent people from pumping out babies, painting them and moving them out.
Combined with the "no birthday cake until 1 day to go" rule to prevent rapid-aging. If you put in the effort to raise that many kids, you deserve the extra portrait points. My Legacy family's 2nd gen has 5 kids, partially for the portrait points, and partially because the founder's wife had the "surrounded by family" LTW.
It's still possible to move a sim in, make a baby with it (thus making the mate eligible to score), painting a portrait of the mate, and then moving the mate out with the baby. The baby is still part of the bloodline, so it's parent's portrait is worth points even if neither the baby nor the parent stuck around.
This isn't as easy as just popping out babies and painting them, but is still by far the easiest way to earn points. Frankly, I've always thought the portrait points were kind of stupid. Why should something that takes practically no effort reward you as much as fulfilling a LTW or earning 100k happiness?

I decided to change the legacy around a bit. Mostly to make it harder for me but also to incorporate the uniqueness of the TS3. Also the huge lot is causing my game to lag horribly and I'm getting to the point where I don't want to play.
I decided to post it for anyone who is interested. Feel free to make suggestions and ask questions. But if it isn't mentioned specifically then I'd go with the original rules.
Amendments to legacy.
You may use any life span but if you are going to use long/epic life span.you must use ashkitty's preg mod.
Long = 9 Day pregnancy
Epic = 30 Day pregnancy
The only caveat is that time length cannot be changed once legacy starts.
You must start in a fresh unplayed file and with a brand new Sim. All random traits must be chosen from the start of legacy /w the exception of 2nd generation onward may carry one 1 of the founder's traits as a family trait. You may choose to deleteallhumans if you like.
Founder may move into any empty lot as long you have $200 or less at end of the first day. Also you may not change lots for the duration of the challenge.
Parents must be married before child is able to be considered an heir (ess).
The exception to this rule is if the couple is same sex. They may have the child by a donor (lesbian) or surrogate (gay). However they must still marry the partner and the child must be raised in the home. Also the child must be genetically linked to founder.
Also in order be considered heir player must be able to select a trait at each life stage. (Even though it must be rolled)
You may create Sims to be assimilated into family but their traits/LTW must be random as well (Only 1 roll). You must move them in lots that are already occupied but not the family's; they must not have a job or any skills when moved in. Your sim can meet and marry these created Sims. However for each generation that uses this "perk" the next two can not. For example if you do use a created sim for Gen 1 you can't use it again until Gen 4.
Lastly, I threw out scoring for me because I really don't care about the score I just wanted a challenge.
BakingtheArt:
Yeah, I'm playing without scoring or the rich sim restrictions. I don't really care for the scoring part of the set games, just the fun role-playing part. Even if I am roleplaying a homeless Casanova who has impregnated most sims in town. What, it was fun. :D
rohina:
So, jaci"rocker", you just essentially plagiarized Pinstar's weaksauce challenge, but without the points? How ironic. I am not seeing any point(s).
Aquilegia:
Jaccirocker, is there any particular reason a genetic donor has to be married to the line-carrier? It makes sense for female genetic donors to have to live on lot (which doesn't require marriage), but it's actually harder to not move in male genetic donors--no cash bonus, no extra help around the lot. It seems like it's purely an extranenous style rule for people who don't like so-called bastard children.
