That sounds great! I will try it out now.

Wait where on MTS???

I have an example here (it's in Dutch but I guess you'll get the picture):



(this legacy is made by several simmers, which explains the names above the world they played in)

Someone gave me a link for the icons once and I downloaded it, so I don't know exactly where you can find them I'm afraid...

I don't typically post recommendations for stuff (unless it's free), but for a reasonable amount of money, I've found Roots Magic to be the best for family tree making. It's very user friendly and definitely helped me keep track of over ten generations of Bartlets. Plus, since a few of my legacy family members have become immortal or been brought back from the dead, Roots Magic lets you put in 200 year lifespans or female Sims giving birth at age 70 with no problem. Since it would not let me use Sim days for birthdates and death dates, I had to convert them into proper years based on the Seasons. Other than that, it's been quite useful.
