Legacy simmers, how did your legacy family begin?

I thought it might be fun to think back of the sims that started it all and the lives they (and their children) have lived.
I got pretty nostalgic seeing some of the earlier pictures of my legacy family.
Do feel free to post pictures and mention in which generation you currently are.
I'll try to look for some and I'll explain how it all started for me later, but for now I have to pay attention in online school >.>
Edit: posted my story in the comments

This was their house in earlier days -- the office and bathroom on the left wing were added to the original build, but otherwise it's the original starter house I drew out.
It grew into this beast, which is even more hideous from the back side.
I started with a single sim. Her name was Marie. She had a doggo and they love to explore Selvadorada together. Marie also had a girlfriend but she was such a stalker and that was smothering Marie. She gave her the buh-bye. I didn't like Eliza Pancakes because everyone hates her, right? I wanted to ruin her life by seducing Bob. Marie was succesful. She kindly forced Bob to divorce Eliza. Marie and Bob had a beautiful twin girls Opal and Pearl. Later they all moved to a house in Brindleton Bay where their son was born. His name was Benjamin and he was a gay. He fell in love with Atlas Patel - Zoe Patel's younger brother. They wanted to have a biological baby together, which is obviously not possible. Anyway, I think I am a genius because I got an amazing idea which I am really proud of. Zoe was their surrogate. Benjamin was the father and Zoe was the biological mother but Atlas adopted the baby. So little Esme was carrying both Benjamin's and Atlas' genes.
Also, I wanted to let Eliza suffer more. I had Marcus Flex to get her pregnant and then leave her. And that happened. But somehow I grew to love her and I was feeeling so bad for her. I wanted to make it all up to her. And that is when Johnny Zest appeared on the scene. They had a baby boy together. Johnny adopted Eliza's and Marcus' daughter and then they all shared the same last name. The Zest family
This is the Pancakeses family tree , if anyone is curious. It is up to date.
Currently I am at gen 6. My goal is to reach generation 10 before this year ends. I play rotationally so it takes quite a long time. Definitely longer than I expected. It is fun though and I am 100% positive I will continue with this legacy even after generation 10.
Some pictures are in the spoiler below.

The grandkids were over
They died only few sim minutes apart.
Meet the Kosters. "Koster" is a pretty reoccuring name when you randomize the names (my game is in Dutch.
Father Paul, mother Sienna with their kids Maaike, Mei, June and Suzanne (holy plum, June is still alive in my game!)
Now, I have to be careful what I say because I don't want to mix up my families.
The Kosters for me, are supposed to be an Asian inspired family (despite the name) that immigrated to San Myshuno because there were a lot of business and work opportunities.
Father Paul was a scientist and mother Sienna was a stay at home mom because 4 kids... (triplets + the youngest, Suzanne)
I haven't played a lot with the parents, but 3 of the daughters have been a massive influence in my game.
Each daughter was special in their own way, they each had different interests (when they were kids I had them complete 1 aspiration that was different from the others').
Suzanne was a friend of the world, Mei was the creative spirit that loved painting, Maaike was the scientist and June was very athletic, I believe.
After becoming an adult the 3 oldest went on their seperate ways.
Suzanne, despite being the youngest was the first to get married
Mei was the second one to find love. When she was roaming around San Myshuno she saw a sim that made her heart skip a beat. This was when she knew she was gay and settled with the lovely lady. They later adopted 4 children.
I sadly don't remember the random townie she engaged to, but she 100% lived in the same town.
Maaike, the scientist then found love as well and married an alien and had twin alien babies
And then last, but not least, June. The sim that is the protagonist in my story.
She was the sim I followed the generations of.
She and Akira ended up having 4 children
NOTE: the family tree doesn't seem to be completely accurate. Idk why, but a few names are missing. Seems like my game can't load the entire tree
Family tree part 1
Family tree part 2
Family tree part 3
The current family: Mother Legacy, father Rob (the robot), 3rica and her niece Dieu-Donnée
They reside in Willow Creek in a MASSIVE mansion.
Mother Legacy is the Head of staff in the doctor career (lvl 10 + 8 raises)
Father Rob is a Master teacher (lvl 10 + 1 raise)
Daughter 3rica is the Pioneer of new technology (lvl 8)
Niece Dieu-Donnée is doing her last semester in university and will most likely go in the police career
I had my scientist sim clone herself and her mother. Aged both clones down to make them look more like they would be the offspring of said family.
This is Sienna, the clone of Legacy and descendent of Sienna (the game automatically picked the name. I was overjoyed).
This is Saar, clone of 3rica, the adopted daughter of Legacy and Rob
I didn't know you couln't make the clone your child, so I also cloned 3rica. Legacy has an aspiration where she has to be friends with 3 of her children. So, I'll probably have to clone her again or Saar.
Edit: oh they both have Uni degrees.
Lmao
I don't think I even have to send them to school anymore XP
Riley and Avery were childless perpetual Young Adults in TS3, but by about the time of this screenshot, they were completing their initial Aspirations and had married, and both autonomously rolled Whims to have a child together. So their next Aspirations were family-related, they moved to a larger home (having started in tiny Nookstone in Oasis Springs) and set about having kids. I twiddled custom gender settings to allow Avery to become pregnant - nice not to need mods.
Three children and four grandchildren later, they have finally completed their family Aspirations, and have retired as Elders to enjoy their golden years in Sulani. I mostly actually play their offspring or grandchildren, but they are still alive and well in my Legacy save.
If I had 2 sims of the same gender in a relationship, I either made clones of them and aged them down or had them adopt kids.
It started 4 and a half years ago because I didn't want to do some biology homework. I ended up marrying my founder Amanda to Don Lothario because they hit it off at the gym. They lived in a box in Oasis Springs because I can't build. She was a painter and later a musician, and he joined the science career. They had four kids - two girls, two boys. Don, being active, even lived to see their first grandchildren - a set of twins - reach teenagehood.

In a different save, I am on gen 14 but that's not a 'proper' legacy since I haven't followed all the rules. With that save I begun with a sim called Scarlett who had twins with Travis Scott and things went from there.
