I've never looked into the Sims 3 legacy challenges before, most likely because I have an attention span of 1 sim generation. I will extend that sim's life, but I have a hard time wanting to deal with even virtual children and I can barely stand getting them to teenager before choosing to start over with another single sim. However, I have one family that I've really gotten into recently. I love them so much that I actually want to see what their children turn out like. So far, they're adorable. I dress them in bear and fairy outfits and the little girl wants to sell baked goods every day. The father wants her to grow up to be a genius, and I can't decide whether to make him proud or to take her in another direction. Genius really didn't factor into my plans for her, but the dad has worked so hard at her education!
I went on a not so slight tangent there, but the point is that I think I'm ready to tackle a legacy challenge now. That family won't do, not just because of where they live and how much money I've given them but also because the mother is a ghost and all children are post-ghost births. Should I start the legacy family with my saved version of the mother from when I originally made her? She is the sweetest sim I've ever made. She's a small town girl making it big in the city. But I'm leaning towards starting an entirely new sim for an entirely new family and story.
The idea I have in my mind, what I want to end up with, is a wealthy family who have "rascally" ancestors. You know the kind of rascals I'm talking about... the ones who had nothing and stole and scraped for every simoleon, maybe did a few (or not so few) unsavory things. But generations down the line, the only thing that matters is the wealth they "acquired" and that it keeps growing each generation. And voilà, you have nobility. I'm thinking we'll start with a klepto and see how it develops. I'm thinking of going with the Family Trait option but not forcing the sex of the heir.
*squeals* Oh, I'm so excited! I'm not quite certain how much people document these things, but I'll try to record my story with some pictures. I'm no serial snapper, though, so don't expect a damn photo journal. :)
