Anyone interested in yet another legacy?! I've been playing this game just for fun when I finish a machinima episode and decided today I want to share with y'all.
I tried the Perfect Genetics challenge a couple of years ago. My very first heir had the exact genetics, blue hair and red eyes. Perfect! Then the third generation. Baby after baby after baby, no heir. I think there was around 13 kids before mom died and still no heir. Frustrating and boring.
So! This is my combination of a regular legacy challenge and the perfect genetics challenge. If a child has perfect genetics, they will be the heir. If not, eh. I'll pick an heir and on to the next generation. Those genetics can still come through later! The colors aren't weird. Mom has a rich black hair of my own making (not that washed out looking default black) and beautiful light blue eyes. Even though Dad is the founder, I'm looking for Mom's genetics.
ALSO! This will be no cc, no mods, base game only! I'll add a pack and a store venue with each generation. Let's see how long I last with those rules.
Founder: Billy Ray Burgess is just a good old boy who loves the outdoors and makes a living off fishing and dumpter diving, until he meets the love of his life. Becca loves Billy Ray but she wants more from life than a sleeping bag and a fire pit. (Don't most women?!) They have a little 'oops' named Allie so Billy Ray puts his athletic ability to good use and gets a job at the stadium. They don't have much but at least they have walls now!
Billy Ray is brave, loves the outdoors, handy, family oriented and an angler. He likes hamburgers, the color green and pop music.
Becca has a good sense of humor, loves the outdoors, she is charismatic, has a green thumb and is family oriented. She likes classical music, French toast and the color red.
If anyone has visited my old picturesque thank you thread, this is THE Billy Ray and Becca who have absolutely gorgeous children. Yeah, I cheated by marrying my founder to a sim I made, cause I just couldn't split this couple up.

Those naps at the park just don't fill up that energy bar very well so finally, with lots of fishing and dumpster diving, Billy Ray gets enough money to buy a bed and a shower.
Here comes Becca and she says yes! With conditions. She wants a house with walls. So Billy Ray goes to work as an athlete.
Good thing cause before you know it....
First child! Perfect genetics fail. She has black hair but green eyes like her dad.
Allie turns out to be an adorable child, although she is completely insane. (I bent the legacy rules and hit the 'randomize traits' button THREE TIMES cause I didn't want an insane child! And kept getting the insane trait. So finally accepted that this child will be a nutter). She also loves the outdoors and is frugal.
There's another bun in the oven and we'll have to wait and see what happens there.

Looks like we have an heir! April has black hair and blue eyes!
Firstborn insane Allie has turned into a quite pretty teen. Insane trait is not as bad as expected. She helps with her sisters and is very good at cleaning. But she does sometimes talk to the frig, wears her swimsuit to bed and goes to school in her formal outfit.
Did I say SISTERS, plural? Yes I did. This couple had some beautiful boys in another game, Connor and Logan. So I tried again to get a boy but no joy. We have a third girl, her name is Ainsley and I'll share a pic when she reaches toddler age.
Meanwhile, the home has gone from this:
To this:
Still got the ugly free wallpaper and flooring. However, I was paying absolutely NO attention to simoleons until I tried to buy a sink and realized I only had TWELVE left, that's 12, not 1200 or 12000. Hope dad goes to work soon.

I've been playing a completely mod free game and by this second generation, the only NON pudding face sims in town are the elders who were very young in Sunset Valley when the game first started. So I'm moving the whole family to Riverview. Maybe that's the only way to keep the gene pool fresh and pudding free.
The whole family:
The home has grown quite a bit! Thanks to Billy Ray's athletic career, Allie's job as a musician and Becca selling off the fruits of her gardening!
Second floor:
Happened to see Claire Ursine's daughter at the park. Sadly enough, it seems Claire has passed on.
When April turned young adult I added High End Loft Stuff Pack and, from the store, Riverview and the Arcade venue. With each generation I'm adding an SP or EP, a store world and a venue. So it's on to Riverview to look for a suitable mate for April to carry on the Burgess Perfect Genetics Lepacy!!

Bratty. Lol.
Never mind. All she was doing was crushing his dreams, lol.
Next, I've awesome'd your post so hopefully you will be member soon and can start your own thread to share your story. So far I am enjoying it and would love to see pictures.

I love the idea of this though, and I need a break from machinima, so I'm starting over. I still have the original founder sim couple! I'll be back...
