Erm, this question may seem silly, but I wanted to know if it is cheating to change lifetime wants or traits of Founder with lifetime happiness points. I'm pretty sure that even thought it isn't stated clearly changing the traits is verboten, but I decided it wouldn't hurt to ask.

As said before, if you don't like how your rolls turned out, you can purchase the "Mid Life Crisis" perk to get a shot at re-rolling your traits.
I'd say it's fair game.

I really enjoyed the Legacy Challenge for TS2, even though it did get awfully convoluted and silly. But the new version is really... boring. I know the goal was to simplify the challenge, but... really, where is the fun supposed to be? I think for myself I'm going to adapt the TS2 scoring system, because for TS3 there's nothing that really differs between the 'challenge' gameplay and normal gameplay, other than painting a ridiculous number of portraits.

ETA: Zazazu, I like the way you've done your family tree, did you use a template or just do it all free hand?
I use the in-game ones as a template, but have to do heavy tweaking to get all the in-laws in, and of course add names and breeding relationship symbols.
The 1st gen spouse got his LTW, to be Emperor of Evil. Immediately after he got home, all three girls rolled the want to be Leader of the Free World. I had him quit before the harmony was further destroyed.

It's the list of really specific rules like the "rich" and the "klepto". Those are where it is going to balloon with every single EP, you can tell from the design. At the moment, it is minor annoyance, but unless the framework is right at the start, it's a recipe for the same kind of disaster there was with Apocalypse.
Also, I have to say, given the way TS3 enforces legacy-style play, how necessary is it to articulate these nit picky rules?
Personally, I'm not a fan of either rule. Like I said before, at gen four of an established neighborhood, everyone was considered rich. I'm already nearly to that level in my legacy 'hood, which was wiped before I began, and the eldest girl of the second generation is just a teen.
This issue is what has stopped me from loading my legacy neighborhood since I started it. I started it in Riverview with all the regulars there. Every single person my Sim met she immediately identified as rich. I've thought about starting over in a wiped neighborhood, but just haven't bothered with it. As you say, even in a clean neighborhood, everyone is rich by generation 4, or earlier. Stupid rule is stupid.
ETA: The reason I think the no marrying rich Sims rule is stupid is not because it's hard to find one that isn't rich, it's that just because your Sim identifies another Sim as being rich doesn't mean that Sim will bring in oodles of money when married in. I've married in tons of 'rich' Sims that brought in only 1-2k. It's a pointless rule.

I partially ignored that rule myself. I started in Sunset Valley, where the Roomies household is. Every one of them is "rich", but I managed to have my sim woo and marry Cycl0n3 Sword (with a subsequent number-to-letter name change) without ever finding out that he was rich. That wasn't easy. He brought in only a little over $2k with around $1k in tax breaks and benefits. Hardly a pot of gold. It's silly that a house full of people who aren't related by any means and actually call their household "Roomies" would be considered rich just because they have enough bedrooms to fit everyone.
