The Speed Legacy - A fun challenge at the speed of light!

We all know what a legacy is and what the basic rules are; well this is similar except fewer rules and really fast (and generally random).
This was introduced to me by a couple of friends and we're all having a great deal of fun with it so figured we'd invite the whole of the simming community to join in!
The Premise: It's a 10 generation legacy using your simself as the founder.
The Twist: Use the Short Life Span!
The Rules:
Keep the lifespan on SHORT, though the following break down is recommended:
>Infant= 1 day
>Toddler= 1 day
>Child= 1 day
>Teen= 2 days
>Young Adult= 6 days
>Adult= 5 days
>Elder= 4 days
*Just keep the lifespan on short*
-Your founder must be your simself
-You can use any townies or people from your bin as the spouse/other parent.
-You can use any cheats EXCEPT cheats that will help you with obtaining money directly. Money cheats include (but are not limited to) kaching, motherlode, freerealestate, cheating your sim into a higher position on work
-Each generation, a boy and girl must be born
->You cannot edit any of your heirs/spares in CAS unless it is to change their clothing or hairstyle. You can however, age them up.
Note: By aging them up in CAS, you cannot reverse the action, they must stay that age. No eternal youth!
->Adoption isn’t forbidden. But as with normal legacies, you can’t have them as heirs/heiresses.
->Be sure to keep in mind that you have a limited amount of time to have the heir/heiress have children. Use it wisely.
Otherwise, have fun!
Feel free to use this thread to post pictures of your family and progress, ask questions or just have fun. If you post pic spam on a blog or tumblr, you can link that here as well!

FAQs
Q: Do I have to start on the 60x60 empty lot like in a regular legacy?
A: Nope!
Q: My sims just won't have a girl (or boy) and time is running out! Can I adopt the opposite gender?
A: Yes, the adopted child just can't be the heir(ess); only biological children can inherit the line.
Q: Do I have to stay in one house/keep the founders/heirs all in one house?
A: Nope, your heir can move out on their own, move in with their spouse or grandma and grandpa can retire in Florida - so to speak. Do what you need to do!
Q: Can I edit townies, IFs, foreigners, etc in CAS that are potential mates?
A: Yes, I don't see why not as you could just as easily make your own mate in CAS and plop them in the town. Heirs and Spares are off limits to CAS edits obviously.

I'm into the third generation of mine so far, gen. one and two are up on my archives. :P
So far I have my simself, her son Orion and her grandson Leo~
So far three days have passed, and I've been having too much fun with this. Possibly because we don't have to always write it out, and there's nothing too serious! Just good clean fun. -Granted, me and Audge are a bit competitive as of late- ^u^"
Gen.2: Fidwell
Lyster
So naturally, I let..
Lyster be the heiress!
This is Lyster's now-hubby, Tom Vicka. Though her firstborn child isn't his.
Gen.3: Vicka
Forstch
Though for the sake of genetics -And to hopefully pull ahead of Audge soon-
Becqi became the heiress! Who her hubby will be, well..
A deberrified version of him couldn't hurt...
Cami, stop dragging me into these things! :P
I may give it a go!
Thanks for sharing!
I will post pics of the other first generation heirs/heiresses tomorrow. I need to go to bed
But I'll give ya the first born as a teen - Pam.
Yeah she does but then Gin has a resemblance to my simself :P hehe
Dooooo it :P
Like Cami said - doooooo it!!
That would make it VERY challenging for you then lol. I usually play my legacies on Normal and it's very hard not to have much time for skilling or just seein' the town but it's a fun challenge (so far lol)
Yeah Pam aged to child on a Friday and to teen on Saturday so she never stepped foot in the elem school :P
Otherwise, with traits, if it really bothers you, you can always change em with cheats. ^u^
I haven't been able to play much - but I should be able to play a lot tonight as I have to be sleep deprived tomorrow for a nervous system test... >.>
I have pictures on my twitter/twitpic account so you can always go here to get some real-time updates, but I will try to update here as well. XD
Let me introduce you to my simself and my boo! ^^ (For those of you who think he looks familiar, he is: Prelude Pinot Noir, from Berry's Lacelot AU. ^^ )
(Yeah, I kinda went pic-happy...)
Pro, proposing in my pajamas...
Being nauseous from unknown causes.
Baby Lynnel.
Toddler Lynnel.
That's all I have so far... There will be some pictures that are Twitpic exclusives, so stay tuned. XD

So here's a few pics from "Gen.3 - Vicka" so far:
The Parents
Becqi -The Heiress-

I post miniature updates for each of the generations, except mine own, on my Tumblr, though I'm not sure if I'm allowed to link it on the forums. >u<"
