Sims 1, 2 & 3 recreation legacy challenge! (for TS4)

http://puu.sh/BzExR/b26709fb9a.jpg

I've looked everywhere for a Challenge like this but for the life of me, cannot seem to find one! I've always been a huge fan of The Sims from the beginning and quite miss the households and gameplay of TS1! So I thought It would be fun to recreate and create new stories about the OG families we all know and love! :)

Getting Started:
The best way to start this legacy challenge is by starting a new game. Preferably delete all existing households which relate to any of the previous sims packs (Goths for example). You can choose to start in either Willow Creek OR Newcrest. You can download a pre-existing Newbie household to start with (the founder couple) or you can choose to make your own Bob and Betty Newbie. This couple has been chosen as they are the first family you play in TS1! Their lives will all be very different depending on the player. Bob and Betty must look similar to the original Bob and Betty Newbie.

RULES:

Households are only to be played on the 'normal' life span

No money cheats to be used! Sims will have to earn their own simoleons (money can only be added if noted in a generation below)

Through this challenge you will be offered a choice of three "life situation" options to pursue to make that particular generation interesting. You can either choose yourself or use random.org to generate/decide the choice for you. Choices are listed below in the generations and each have a pro and a con.

Houses must somewhat replicate the original house from TS1, 2 or 3 - you can put your own creative spin on any lots and modernise them a bit if you want. You can choose to move the household out after they have saved enough funds to do so, however they cannot move out of their original home until at least halfway through their YA age.

Generation One: The Newbie's - Bob and Betty Newbie (founders)
Either self-made or downloaded from the gallery. Bob must be fully maxed in the weight, Betty can either be halfway or fully maxed. Bob must have the Slob trait and Betty must be Neat. You decide their remaining traits and Aspirations! Decide if you want them to be married or plan to have them married during your game

Betty is the sole income earner, Bob can only get a job in either Culinary, Tech or Criminal or be a stay at home dad/partner.

Must be married before starting a family

Must have at least one child during their YA age

Must have at least one child, name this child Bella if a girl or Mortimer if a boy.

Newbie life situation (please choose only one option below, you must choose one) these can happen at any time after the first child being born, but must happen before both sims become an elder:
1) Mid-life crisis! - Bob find his life rather stale. Out of pure boredom, he starts having an affair with a neighbourhood sim! The affair can be as long or short as you want, but MUST end with the sim Bob is having an affair with falling pregnant with his child AND Betty catching them out. Will Betty choose to stay with Bob or leave him? you decide!
Alternative option: Bob has an affair with a male sim, but after Betty finding out, he must leave Betty and start a new life with his new male lover, you continue on playing as Betty and her children.

2) Betty the Slacker - Being the sole provider for her family has become tiring! Betty spends three days calling in fake sick to work causing her to lose her job. Bob has to step up and reach the top of his current career (or get a job if he doesn't already have one) and support the family. During the first week of this sudden change, a fire breaks out in the family home causing dramatic damage! Bob will have to work hard to rebuild the family home. **If Bob happens to die during the house fire, Betty must earn an income from home: writing, paining etc. Alternatively you can have her do this regardless but she must not get another job.

3) Sudden death - Either Bob or Betty suddenly die! You choose what happens after such a dramatic event.

Goth life situations (please choose only one option below, you must choose one) these can happen at any time after the first child being born, but must happen before both sims become an elder:

2) Never-ending Affair - Bella meets Don Lothario (either create him yourself or download a Don Lothario from the gallery), neighbourhood Playboy and starts having an affair with him. Bella must maintain this affair until she dies. You can choose to have her leave Mortimer and TRY re-marry Don Lothario if you choose, however Don will continue to have multiple partners and affairs if you choose to do this. **

Generation Three: The Pleasant's
Daughter of Mortimer and Bella Goth, Mary-Sue Goth.
!!! Create or Download Daniel Pleasant and place him in a house similar to any of the Pleasant's houses in previous games. Add $100,000 to his household funds after purchasing the house. He comes from a wealthy background. Daniel must have the non-committed trait, red hair and green eyes.

Have Mary-Sue and Daniel date, the amount of time is up to you!

Mary-Sue falls pregnant, you must wed the couple before Mary starts to show!

Have the couple move into Daniels house

Try for a baby until the couple has twin girls and name one Juliette

When Juliette is a child, add the Monty family to the neighbourhood, including Romeo Monty (as a child, to match Juliettes age). Have Mary-Sue and Daniel become enemies with the Monty parents, forbidding their children from playing.

Juliette and Romeo meet up in secret, often, sparking a romance in their teen years.

Mary-Sue must have a best friend, female, and the same age as her


Pleasant's life situations:
1) Daniel Strays - Have Daniel have an affair with a sim - this can either be the maid like the classic TS2 or any other neighbourhood sim you choose. The sim must be YA. Mary-Sue has to find out, she can either choose to stay with Daniel BUT has to have an affair of her own OR choose to leave Daniel but has to re-marry within a sim week to another sim of your choice.

2) Sibling Rivalry- Mary-Sue's attractive sibling has gone bankrupt and needs a place to stay! Move her into a spare bedroom. Daniel's eye wanders on to her and the two share a hot night together - whether or not they get caught out is up to the player!

3) Three is a crowd - Mary-Sue invites her best friend over for dinner and sparks fly with her best friend and Daniel! Over the next few days, the two of them start sneaking out together resulting in an affair and love child! Will Mary-Sue find out? That's up to you!
