Starting a new challenge 1st Pictures Meet Andy and Alex now

Hi , years ago I created and started the A to Z challenge and made it to Z with Zackary Dexter. I have always wanted to do it again but never have. So I have decided I would do it but with a twist.
I will be doing a A to Z Adoption Challenge
my rules will be as followed
Choose either a married or not married couple, or single male or female to start.
Only adopted child is allowed no pregnancies' are allowed ever
When the adopted child comes, you cannot change anything about them, you cannot change skin, hair, eyes etc. You can only change the clothes
A baby, toddler, child can be adopted boy or girl
I can live in any house, any town, work or not work, move to another house, town, just play anyway you want, only thing is you can only adopt
Must play out each sims full life, no killing off any sim, no early aging up, Each sim must live through each stage of life to old age.
Adopted child when grown can only adopt and continue on until Z child is reached
I want to see when I get to Z what the generation look like compared to my starting sim. I know this challenge will take a long time.
I will be using my favorite sims the Dexter's

    @Avatarit I thought so at some point, but no, the genetics of adopted children are usually not zero slider sims. I can only see that happen if you have lots of zero slider residents and service people in your town, because the genetics of adopted children seem to draw on the pool of sims that are already there. I noticed that in my Pleasantview game, where I played the Oldies (a couple of elders), and one of them had the "surrounded by family" wish, which I could only fulfill by adoptions. The kids were all different, though two of them looked like siblings and had a strong resemblance to one of the maids (who had rather distinctive facial features), and two others looked suspiciously similar to some of the other residents (frex the Broke's).
    Edit: I'm talking about a Sims3 version of Pleasantview, just to make that clear :smile: .
