I have had an issue with the rule about accepting the first lifetime wish that comes along. I understand why this exists, it's definitely much more fun and interesting to play with Sims of varying interests and personalities, but the problem with this is, all my Sims keep wanting is to become professional athletes due to the fact that my Sims all enjoy playing with the football and baseball together. There's nothing random or varying about that! I have since banned the use of said objects, but it's disappointing not being able to let my Sims play with them. It's a good way to increase fun and build relationships without having to micromanage them. End Quote
I saw you deleted this post, maybe you figured out that there is no such rule yet, or mis-read a previous post about YA's being forced to accept a random LTW (if no LTW has previously been accepted). YA's still get the 5 LTW's to choose from, if one hasn't been chosen yet, and there is yet no such rule about accepting the first LTW to pop up for children (or how to pick one for your Founder in CAS).
I must have read that rule somewhere else for another challenge or misinterpreted something I read when first starting this challenge, though for the life of me I can't imagine what or where. I've only read three challenges for TS3 (including this one) and I just reread the rules for the other two (haven't played them yet) and didn't find it there either. If there was such a rule it'd make achieving all 32 LTW's impossible, now that I think about it so it should have been obvious that I was remembering things wrong.

I started fiddling around with this a couple of days ago, most likely I will end up restarting because there are a few things that are bugging me.
My Sim's oldest son just turned into a child. He has a younger son a few days behind him. In all of the population of Legacy Island, there is not one female that will still be of child-bearing age by the time one of these boys take over unless per chance they run into an NPC of a proper age.
And that brings to mind another thought. Why on earth aren't points awarded for the marriage of NPCs in this challenge? They aren't always easy to find and they usually have only half of a personality, as in they might have four or five traits but more times than not they only have one or two. Talk about a handicap.
Sooo, BACK to my original question: what is everyone doing to assure there is a ready population of marriagables available? Creating families? Leaving the "feature" available for any and all Sims to pull larva from their sofas? I use awesomemod and have Story Progression on, but I don't have parthogenesis enabled because it's so annoying, and I really, really don't want to have to be creating a bunch of families every generation just to make sure my heir has a spouse.
Damsel:
I'm on generation four now, they just hit their teen years and so far I haven't had too bad a time finding a mate for my Sims, even the spares. When your Sims are at work or school there's an option in the drop down menu to meet new friends and to chat with friends. This is a great way to make loads of friends, and when your Sims are children, those children will age up right along with your children, so you'll know what age they are. Or, on the other hand, if your Sim meets a teen that you wish they could be with and they are a young adult already you can invite them over and click on the birthday cake and chose to have them blow out the candles, aging them up. AFAIK there isn't any rule against aging townies up before their time.
Nikki:
In this new save for the legacy challenge I'm not finding a problem with age appropriateness but maybe because when in doubt they marry an NPC like the policeman or social worker. It works better that way for me because since they aren't playables, they have no previous baggage. I also find that the game will age people to suit any age group that is lacking in members even if the aging makes no sense whatsoever.
I've noticed something strange. Holly Alto was a teenager when this game started and Vita was an adult and my founder and her spouse were young adults in the early stage. My founder is now an elder, her spouse is dead, Vita is still an elder alive and kicking and Holly is also an elder. It just doesn't seem right.
GayJohnScarritt:
This challenge is forcing me to play several different types of LTW's (ones I wasn't normally playing in TS3), but I'm currently having problems getting the "Super Popular" one fulfilled. She's showing 22 current friends in her panel (and Charisma info page is showing 22 friends). She got the "Super Friendly" reward, but has yet to get her LTW fulfilled. Any info out there, do household members still count against that 20 total?
Update: She finally fulfilled the wish when she got her 24th friend (the 24th was a ghost). 5 of her friends are household members, so that makes me wonder if once again, Sims start with an Mystery friend?
