My Legacy, My Rules

I figured maybe it would be a good thing to place all my legacy rules on one page.  So here they are

*Note: All  rules are subject to change whenever the mood strikes me*

• I play with a modified Long life Span.  Babies =1 day, Toddlers = 4 days, Children =  25 days, Teen = 35 days, YA = 90 days, Adult = 50 days, Elder =30 days. *edit exact days put in*
• This is a Matriarchal legacy.
• Last born daughter will be heiress (as per above ).  In the case of twins, a heiress will be chosen once they reach YA.
• With the exception  of my Founder(s), Jessyca and Crimson, all traits are random rolled at birth/age up.  They are forced to deal with what fate gave them.
• All actions are dictated either by wishes or freewill.  They either have made the decision to inform me of what they want, or taken it into their own hands :-)
• I do use mods to increase interactions and allow my Sims to socialize better.  I feel these add to the drama.
• No money/skill cheats used on legacy lot.  Everything they end up having, they have had to work for.
• Once a Child that is NOT eligible to be heiress has reached the age of Young Adult, they will be moved out to a family home of my choosing.

Edit: As of Gen 2 Game Play:  

• I no longer use certain LTR.  Specifically No Bills Ever, Steel Bladder, Never Hungry and anything else like that.  I find they make the game a little to easy.  Inheritance is only used if I need the money despretley to renovate/rebuild the family home. Inheritance is now on the no use list, as I am no longer building homes.
• As of gen 2 I will no longer be building the house, therefore moving is perfectly acceptable
• As of Gen 2 there will be a family trait, Family Oriented (to ensure survival of  Legacy).  If a heir/heiress does not have it they must use the LTR to change traits ASAP.  Only one trait may be swapped out, and only for the family oriented trait. *exception made when new expansion packs come out*

And just a few quick writing "rules"...kinda.

 I have played well ahead of what is posted at this point in time.  As I make this page I have posted up to Gen 1 Chapter 6, and have the photos loaded (waiting for text) for 2 more posts.  I have pictures up to Chapter 23 sitting on my computer.  That coupled with previously mentioned fact that all actions are dictated by the Sims themselves makes it a little difficult to involve you readers.

While I would love to take you suggestions for things for my Sims to do, please understand that it may not be possible for me to add it in immediately.  I may not be able to even do it within that generation.  But if it is at all possible I will add it in.  If I do end up catching up with all the photo's I have, I may even start to do polls regarding important decisions about my Sims life when there is a conflict.

Also please note that a lot of times I take my pictures in the heat of the moment.  Therefore walls may not always be up, and it may not always be the best picture it could be.  I know about Cameraman mode, and the hide headline  effects cheats, and moviemaker mode and all that jazz.  If I don't think to use it, sorry.  I'm more focused on enjoying my game than taking pictures, and that's not likely to change.

I would LOVE to hear your feedback though!  Let me know what I'm doing right, and where I'm going horribly wrong {constructively please! Comments like "U Suck" help no one ;-)}.  If I've started leaving out something you love, let me know!  You can reach me via the comments (which I alone moderate), or visit my about me page for more ways to reach me.

Peace, Love, and Flowers,

Rainwife
