UPDATED: What happened with your legacy today?

I never participated in any of the legacy challenges back in on the old site but I would check in on them from time to time. They were always pretty interesting. I'm thinking of maybe starting one up here. I'm not going to impose any crazy or outlandish rules or anything like that but the thought of a Sims dynasty (and I don't mean the 80s soap opera--though it is fascinating) has always been appealing to me.
So, I guess it's not really an official legacy challenge but more so a tepid version of one. Really it's simply a thread for people to just post about a specific family and whatever they have going on at over a period of time (and generations). Basically: ya' post updates when you feel like it.
The only rules: Start off with a single sim or an unmarried couple and see what happens. You can use mods/cheats (be semi-realistic with the money cheats--for example if your Sim becomes a CEO, then it would be realistic that they maybe be a millionaire at some point. So, familyfunds would be appropriate)/etc.
Not sure if there is a thread like this already.

There have been a few posts about people interested in doing challenges together and I've been a part of a few threads like the Through the ages challenge and the Nothing is free challenege, but mainly most people don't keep up with and it does off.
I've always liked the idea of a group of people starting an actual challenege together with actual rules like an actual competition and going with it. Ah... But alas, people always want to amend the rules and play "in the sprite of the rules", which is cool, but not necessarily doing an actual challenge. Good luck though.
Yeah, we've tried haven't we, @Minx? lol The short challenges seem to work best for groups. I know that there are a dedicated group of people that do the Apocalypse Challenge - they have competitions a few times a year. That list of rules, tho...
Still... a 'what happened in your legacy today' thread could work. Just know that if you are going to full-out document your legacy challenge, it may get moved to the Legacies and Stories thread area.
I changed the name to "What happened in legacy today?" Feel free to post whatever you like!
And I might post an update when I get some internet that has no limits.
I was still in my first generation when my last PC broke down. But I didn't want to start all the way over, so I used master controller to help get my Sims' skills back where they were (still working on the relationships, though). I rebuilt their house, too.
Meet Caroline Wetmore, a distant cousin of Bartholomew Montgomery--who you'll meet later. Caroline is a former actress who married Richard Wetmore, a Power Broker, and a third generation Sim from another legacy whilst she was still acting in Bridgeport. After Richard's death, Caroline and her son, Carlton, packed up their house in the hills and moved to Sunset Valley.
Caroline's son Carlton. An angsty little genius who resents his mother's jet-set way of life. He prefers to keep to himself cooped up in the family library.
Check out Caroline and Carlton's new digs. A sprawling mansion that sits on the lot of the old Alto place.
The grand foyer
Hall, Drawing room, and office.
The dining room
The Octagon hall leads into the formal ballroom
The master bedroom
The guest wing
The upstairs landing
The outside grounds
Focusing on the house to provide the setting. These people are rich. Will update you on their lives with the next post as well as introduce you to the Wetmore's new neighbors, the Montgomery's, who live adjacent to the Wetmore estate on the lot that was usually empty when the Landgraabs and the Altos ruled supreme in the valley. Enjoy!
I've just gotten into mid winter in Deery Meadows and they've been having blizzards that are so bad it's suspended their work shifts for the rest of the season.The roads are piled with snow and they've already had to dig out their front door a bit.
Meanwhile, Caroline's angsty son Carlton has begun to romance young Adelaide, the eldest daughter of nearby neighbor Bart Montgomery.
Caroline's day, on the other hand, wasn't as great. After spending all day doing film research for her next role at the Bistro, the kitchen caught fire!
She promptly fired her negligent butler as a result.
She decided to attend a party being thrown by her next door neighbor, Alexandra Montgomery, to unwind.
The Montgomery residence is the grandest mansion in all the Valley. One can see the absurdly wealthy Bart on his way to the office.
Alexandra, in the purple dress, seems suspicious of arriviste, Caroline. But Caroline's charm wins out by the end of the night.
Unfortunately, the romance between Caroline and Romeo seemed to stall out rather early on. But Annabel Gooder, the Valley's gossip queen, swears that she saw one yellow dressed a-lister disappearing behind the gates of Matthew Hamming's secluded estate last Sunday evening...could they be one and the same?
Alexandra, fearful of an unsuitable pairing between her children and some of the Valley's less desirable children, decided to pack off her three children, Adelaide, Philip, and young Claire to Smuggsworth Prep. Effectively putting an end to romances between her daughter and Carlton as well as her son and Holly Alto. Such blatant actions resulted in a strain in the relationship of fast friends Caroline and Alex.
More soon.
The sims 3 is a little different though because we dont have that restriction.
But in my legacy today, it was the weekend, so the parents took the kids to a park like they do every weekend and they put soap in the fountain, then all 4 of them splashed around before eating grilled fruit and going home.
