This sounds really fun :-) I'm going to do extra hard as most challenges I've come across just aren't challenging enough - I've found that the only real challenge is having the patience to wait things out. Just one question - there's no mention of spouses. As this is a generational game, are children to be adopted/created, or are spouses allowed. If spouses are allowed, are they allowed to be fully controlled?
Okay, I can't wait to start, so I'm going to assume that normal spouses are allowed. I'll be choosing a base game pre-made as they're the least skilled at the start of the game
I know this is dumb.. But I can't find the rules..I only see the comments.. The last time I checked out this challenge, it showed me the rules, but not anymore, and I forgot them? Can someone maybe send me the link? :(
I can see a problem in the family aspirations so I am going to leave it until last and if I am still struggling with it I might just skip it because they are both a little too complicated for me to be trying to complete as a challenge.
I've started this challenge, and I'm onto my second generation. I'm really enjoying it so far, but @TheSimulatorSimmer , do you think there could be updated rules for different expansion packs.

This is a pretty good challenge but...you could use a little more strict rules.
You do realize that you can naturally have white hair before your even a elder right? It’s called being a albino, I’m saying this because the thing about white hair, I just thought I should say something cause it caught me off guard despite me myself not having white hair,
