THE DOUBLE LEGACY CHALLENGE

This legacy challenge features TWO founders. They are two orphan brothers/sisters who, having been inseparable and alone since they were children, want to have a big happy family - they want to create their legacy together!

GOAL:

Essentially, this challenge is about one big family with two founders who are siblings. Their heirs will be cousins. And they will all live happily together in the same house! This is about having fun, so you can set the number of generations you want to play your legacy for (example: 10 is the usual for legacy challenges).

RULES:

- Start with two siblings. They got out of foster care as they reached the Young Adult age, so they have little to no possessions. And the money they have is what's left from their teenage part-time jobs. Begin with 2000§ (1000§ per brother), so that they can buy the bare essentials (use the money cheat to set your money at 2000§).
(Note: The lot can be whatever size you want, but the bigger the better, obviously, since you're gonna have a big family). 

- They must marry townies/NPC's (not sims you create).

- The family members (founders and spouses, even if they aren't the last generation's heir) must all live in the legacy household, until they die. The brothers who aren't heirs should move out at the Young Adult stage when the heir is picked to make room for more children.

- A difficulty factor is the maximum number of sims per household (which is eight). In the second generation, having the parents, heirs and their spouses all living in the legacy lot means they will reach the maximum number of sims allowed in the household (unless if you decide to use a Mod for this*). You can always wait for the parents to die to be able to have more than one child and use that time to skill your sim or work on their careers, for example.

- Your children's traits have to be randomly picked. You can do it with the founders as well, if you wish. You should complete your founder's/heirs' Aspirations.

- You can do whatever you like to make money: get a job, sell things, etc. Your choice!

- No mods or cheats allowed, apart from the Full house mod if you choose to use it and the money cheat at the beginning to set your money at 2000§.

EXTRAS:

*Mod - Full House mod by TwistedMexi at Modthesims (be careful with it, since the limit is there for a reason! The more sims in a household, the bigger toll it takes on your computer).
*Money Cheat - sims.modify_funds -[amount you need to reduce to make 2000§].

You are welcome to play around with the rules and even make up a point system if you wish (I didn't add that because I prefer just playing challenges for the fun of it). If you test it out, let me know if there are any changes or improvements that could be made! 

Have fun!
