NEW: TV Families Legacy Challenge

I've been waiting to post this here! So, I was messing around in the Sims 4 and came up with this Legacy Challenge. It's a 10-generation challenge with TV Families put in order from oldest show to newest show... When I wrote it down, it was about 8 pages long in my word document and I decided to stop there but feel free to add your favorite families in there as well. Obviously, I didn't throw in some families like the Huxtables or the Bunkers (Bill Cosby was a horrible person IRL and although Archie Bunker wasn't a bad person, he was pretty racist) but feel free to play them if you see fit. You also don't have to play them in the order in which they're written, you can mix them up.

TV Family Legacy Challenge:

Same Legacy challenge rules except you are allowed to use mods and cheats, specifically for gender-based heirs. Infants can't be aged up unless they age up naturally. Children & Teenagers can be aged up if they reach their aspiration goals, become an A student, or age up naturally. Unless prompted, you can choose whichever heir you choose.

    So, um, this one's going to be so chaotic.... I'm currently doing a test of it, and started with the Addamses.... A couple of things that have happened in just one generation:

    1.) Gomez caught on fire from the fireplace and Morticia had to plead with the grim reaper to get him to come back to life....
    2.) DO NOT LET FESTER COOK! He WILL set fire to something. Imagine having to replace a grill or a fridge and stove 1 billion times because Fester has caused another fire.
    3.) As a result of Fester's fires, and having 1 toddler and 1 infant constantly needing attention, I forgot that I had to replace the stove and the fridge, so Morticia died of starvation, and Gomez was so busy with the toddler and the infant that he didn't get to the grim reaper in time to save Morticia's life....

    And this is all just the 1st generation.... It's just plain chaos, and I just love it.

    Just an update:

    1.) Wednesday is now a young adult, Sam Dracula is now a teenager, as is the 3rd child (a daughter named Ivy)
    2.) Ivy and Wednesday are now following in Fester's footsteps and setting fires.

    So, yeah, almost as chaotic as usual... This is all I have to report for now

    Welp.... Sam's significant other died of starvation, even though there have been no need to replace the fridge or stove... It's fine, I was planning on killing her off anyway...
