Family Rules

The following information was last updated on:  10/30/18

Introduction
Soo I was basically just doing whatever with this legacy, but I decided to change it up a bit and actually follow some rules/guidelines for the legacy. Chance that I’ll completely stick to these 100% of the time? -5 out of 10, but I’ll do my best and we’ll see what happens!

Succession Law

 * Gender: Equality / Both boys and girls are eligible to be heir.
 * Bloodline: Traditional / Naturally born kids are eligible to be heir unless there are no naturally born children, in which case adopted can be heir.
 * Heir: First Born / The first child born to the previous generation is named heir.
 * Species: Brood / Heirs must be carried in a pregnancy by the previous heir.

Other Stuff

 * Jobs _ only jobs completed by the heir will count towards the goals.
 * Aspirations _ only aspirations completed by the heir will count towards the goals.
 * Skills _ only skills completed by the heir will count towards the goals.
 * Traits _ only ONE trait from each non-heir sim will count towards the goals.
 * Collections _ only heirs can start/complete collections, but any sim that adds to the collection will count.

Sim Control
I’m going to try and control ONLY the heir. Exceptions:
 * Getting jobs.
 * Starting school projects.
 * Claiming beds.
 * Checking inventories.
 * Forcing pregnant sim to go to the hospital/give birth.

Generation Begins
Everyone seems to start the next generation at different points, so I’ve decided on the following:

The next generation will begin when the heir ages up to be a teenager. After that, I will only play the new heir.

Pregnancy
I leave pregnancy up to chance using the Risky Woohoo mod. If they get pregnant, they get pregnant. If not, I’ll try again later. I also won’t be checking for pregnancy.

Traits & Aspirations
I’ve decided to use the Legacy Random Trait Generator, which uses the traits of the parents to determine the inherited traits for the child. I’ll also be using the Generator for Toddlers.

Careers
Careers will be chosen depending on their aspiration. If none correlates, I’ll choose one based on their traits.

Lifespan
I play this legacy on short lifespan because if I play on normal, I know I'll end up giving up and I really want to finish this series!
