UPDATE 25/09/21: Adoptions are allowed! (excluding generation 1) I realise no adoptions wasn't a very inclusive rule and have removed it to be more inclusive!
Rules
No Cheats
No Mods that can make the challenge easier or provide you with an advantage i.e mods that alter the prices of objects or bills or enable easier promotions etc
Custom Content is allowed
No quitting game without saving
The heir is required to stay on the lot until they die
No Lifetime Rewards (exception for gen 2 and Fertility Treatment)
You are allowed to play other households as long as you do not interact with the sims involved with the legacy (so i.e I am going to change the clothes on one of the sims and I'm going to make one of their friends get married or something)
When you move onto the next generation, the old heir/founder cannot earn points from their point chart, likewise, they cannot lose points either.
Only skills that have been maxed by the heir to the next/of the current generation are counted for points.
You may use the MC Control Center on other sims as long as they are not married to the heir, going to become the heir and/or related to the heir and still living in the household.
Obviously if your sim gets abducted, there is nothing you can do about it, and that's fine. It'll be interesting to introduce alien blood into timeline.
This counts for every generation: +25pts for every aspiration completed.
GENERATION 1: SINGLE PARENT OF ONE (Two if they have twins, three if triplets)
You create a sim. They venture out into the world to make a living. They reach level 2 of a career of your choice. They meet someone and become pregnant or impregnate someone. The other parent disappears. They are left with a baby to look after alone and this becomes their main focus until the child goes to school.

-20pts for getting married before the child is a child
-20pts for having a child
GENERATION 2: WORKAHOLIC PARENT
When the child becomes a young adult, you can begin their generation. They are completely focused on their career as their parent had not had much money to give them much stuff when they were little. When they reach the top of their career they focus on having a child. They retire. YOU MAY USE YOUNG AGAIN POTION!

EDIT: I've changed it now, she has to get to level 2 rather than level 5.
EDIT: I love the moustache mouse
EDIT: For some reason I can't comment on your legacy because I 'don't own this username' on WordPress which I do but I think it's great, can't wait to read some more. I've been doing my own legacy challenge legacy, at Gen 4, might finish when Gen 6 is born because it's dragging on a bit and I'd really like to get on with a different legacy.
Well, I'll try and fix that cause it might become a problem, and thanks! :)
I suppose so, haha, that's fine then.
EDIT: I've just read the Jacobs family post, their backstory is so cool, they sound like a cute couple too
Oh, and I read your blog too. The girl from the Kline family looks so gorgeous! :)
I can't wait to read more.
@SwimmyFishy107 I am so glad that you're going to try this out. Thank you for pointing that out, I updated this from the one I did for TS3 and did a quick skim through, I probably should have read it properly. I'm changing it now
