The Black Market restriction is going to be a pain to keep track of after a few generations. If a founder generation steals some small item, it has to stay on the lot for all 10 generations? I mean at that point, it will have lost so much value that selling it is pocket change, anyway. Could we get a time restriction on it? Like after the thief dies and the object is inherited, it is no longer considered stolen. If only to make bookkeeping a little easier.
...
I think I'll give it a try, though. I'll just put stolen goods in the Family Inventory or something. I don't want to fail just because generation 7 sold a generation 2 stolen fishbowl.
Which was precisely why I asked: why don't we just come up with a specific mod that automatically keeps track of those rules and restrictions for us?
Okay, now you are triple-posting. I take back what I said.
STOP IT. Use the "Insert Quote" button. Double-and-triple posting is frowned upon on this forum. And before you get smart, quadruple-posting is just double-posting doubly.
Here is the fucking FAQ. Read it. Abide by it. The only reason no one else has jumped down your throat is because the hardcore ones here think the Legacy Challenge is for 12s.

I don't know why people are rushing off and getting their sims jobs, anyway.
Because we're F's and we want those 32 little Gold Stars for getting all the Career LTW's. :)
But seriously, it is true that the game was much easier if the Founder (and hopefully spouse) has a stay at home "NYAH NYAH NYAH" LTW to fulfill (for me, it was the Gardening one). They had enough money to fulfill all their needs on the home-lot plus pay for a 100k home before the first sproglette hit teen.
This has been my experience, yes, and it doesn't restrict you at all from getting all 33 (note: there are actually 33 LTW, not 32).
Of the Tests, founder had the "raise five sprogs" want. She had eleven (four boys, seven girls). Before I moved five out, one of them, Lela had rolled the want for a perfect aquarium in early childhood. I was able to get her to that LTW a couple of days before she became an adult. At that point, I moved her out with four of her siblings who had rolled nothing but career wants. It was important to me that they had eleven kids, as these are a remake of my TS2 Tests, who had eleven kids with elixir. Now there are six other kids in the house. The eldest is getting close to her LTW of topping the Medical career, at which point she'll be shipped off, and one half of the many sets of twins is also getting close to the Art/Music one. Her fellow twin shouldn't take too terribly long with Jack of All Trades. Unfortunately, I have a big age gap between them and the three youngest (a set of boy twins, Jay and Walter, and a singleton girl named Jana who will be heir). The founder's spouse did Culinary. In the first and second generations, I should have ten LTW taken care of (Chuck, Saish, Lela, Katie, Emma, Hadley, Jay, Walter, Jana, and unknown spouse).
I think it's more of a completionist thing than an F thing. I'm one of those who will play a game over and over to get all the medals, or one of every object in a MMORPG.

Alright, I think I need to get this straight once and for all. The FAQ says:
"If you want to quote multiple people, you can use the "insert quote" function"
Ok, got it.
If we're responding to 2 different persons, we would expect 2 different replies, right? Bundling responses to multiple persons would certainly make it difficult for the multiple addressees to see which parts are addressed to them.
Socially speaking, I would rather people respond to my posts in a single response post dedicated to feedback to me. Would be tough finding replies to my posts within a bundle. On other forums, it's either a ban for bundling replies like that (because it's socially rude), or we at least risk our addressees not finding relevant feedback.
Personally, I like the space savings.

Yeah, I can understand that. A perfectionist thing too, maybe. If I married a rich real person, and have more time, maybe I can still stick to my obssession with completing games. :P
I make do by trying for quick and intense challenges. I'm thinking how I can do this legacy challenge (or any challenge at all) within a short time.
I did create a simple short challenge by modding the GameplayData.package, if anyone is interested. Certainly removes all (or at least most) book-keeping required to keep score.
Or if any challenge designers are interested in doing away with book-keeping, we can work together.
What are "12s"? 12 year-olds and younger?
EDIT: No. 12-18. Thanks FAQ.
If challenges actually come with consistently and easily/automatically enforced rules, they might appeal to a much wider audience?
EDIT: Please do consider moving the FAQ to a more global location. It's currently nested at least 2 levels deep inside the "The Sims 2" forum.

Nope. Multiple replies per post are preferred. You can see your name at the top of the quote. See, here's another:

Please don't double-post. You can insert another quote simply by scrolling down and clicking the "Insert Quote" button. Also, a quick gander through the FAQ might help you. You seem to be a decent one.
See?

What forums do you frequent? I've never been on one which favours double posting. Bundling responses doesn't make it any harder for people to read feedback and replies, as long as they're not complete idiots. We all manage it, and so do all the other forums I've ever been on. Also, you clearly need to go back to the drawing board and LURK MOAR if you think MATY is going to avoid something because it's 'socially rude'.
Zazazu politely told you to stop double posting and yet you proceeded to triple post straight away. You are swiftly plummeting from noob status to tard status. Congratulations. It's not as if MATY's rules on double posting are particularly difficult to comprehend. Just stop it.
Nikki:
My third generation have now reached teenagers and my second generation heir has finally fulfilled her lifetime wish. Her husband's lifetime wish is golddigger so I was planning to kill her to fulfill his wish and then banish him from the household, but she won't die. I had her tinker with the TV at low handiness skill; once it just increased her skill and the second time it caught on fire. She won't die by fire because she keeps putting it out as she has the brave trait.
The dishwasher broke and I had her fix it but it only increased the skill and now she's at level 5. I don't want to drown her because it'll take too long and I'd rather it be more accidental. Should I just keep getting a technophobe to break things until she croaks? He's already an elder and I don't have much time until he dies.
