Have you finished an Alphabet Legacy Challenge?

So 2 days Ago I just finished an Alphabet Legacy Challenge that I tried to finish in the sims 3 (I only got to Generation 8). I started this Challenge on February 2017 and finished over a year later :D . I'm happy that I finally finished it in The Sims 4 instead! :D
The rules mostly follow a usual Legacy Challenge but instead of 10 Generations there are 26 instead and all of them need to have a different name from A-Z. :D

Here is the full Family tree: https://app.theplumtreeapp.com/public.html#58cfd15dcc36a00e175ea0c4
However another thing I did was instead of the boring A-Z lineup I used a randomizer to pick from the 26 letters :)

Things I noted during this challenge:
- At Generation 6 all of the eligible townspeople have died due to the Normal LifeSpan, So I had to add townies manually :D
- At around Generation 12 every single pre-made sim has died, (Alexander Goth was the last one to die ) :'(
so at that time I had to hard fill all houses with gallery sims :( :(
- At Generation 26 the Household funds were over 700,000 Simoleons :o ( all those 26 different jobs pile up!)

So have you guys ever attempted a challenge this time consuming to do? How did you guys get through it since you will get stuck at some point? :'(

There's 24 houses, but with Drifter, you can pick and chose which house to complete or just do one. And they don't have to actually be generational play. It's intended to be, and that's the way I played, but really, it's just a collection of smaller challenges, that can be tied together to complete towns.

Here's the blog about it.

actually that's one of the rules that I changed in my challnge it's suppose to be in order from A-Z, but I already tried to do that in Sims 3 so I wanted to do something new

You mentioned that you changed the rules? I've been wanting to do another legacy challenge for a while now, since I'm having so much fun with the Not So Berry Challenge, but I wanted to have a twist. Alphabet Legacy challenge sounded like a not so drastic twist, so I was pretty interested in doing it. Was just wondering though, is there a list of rules specifically for the Alphabet Legacy challenge? I've been looking but I can't find any rules. Mind linking me to whatever rules you used? Thanks :)

Oh also, I forgot to add this, but a question I had regarding the challenge is:
(Assuming you do it in the order of the alphabet) Does your founder start with the letter A, or is it the founder's children?

From the main page of the Challenge Listing ... Alphabetacy each generation of children have names starting with a certain letter of the alphabet (children of the founders start with A, their children start with B )
