The Legacy Challenge Mega Thread

I love everything about the Legacy challenge, except scoring. For some reason the scoring process and criteria just feel overwhelming, so I just don't worry about it. The only section on scoring I care about is the Penalties category. I play so that if I reach 10 generations successfully with less than 10 penalties, then I've beaten the Legacy challenge.

I think if you make it to 10 generations, you've successfully completed the legacy challenge. Scoring, I see as an extra guide/set of challenges that you can use to compare your legacy with other people, or have additional guidelines/structure goals if you like. I don't think it exists to cause extra stress. In fact, in other versions, many different variations exist, and you can put your own additional twists on it, such as: having a ''supernatural family'' legacy, where you try to have one of each supernatural in your legacy family, or in sims 2, I had an ''Uglacy'', where an additional goal was at the end, by marrying only NPCs, etc, you end up with the UGLIEST heir possible--it was VERY funny! I like to think people can slightly loosen the rules or add additional ones to make it harder, to suit their own needs, maybe that won't be a popular opinion, but I think what increases someones personal enjoyment of the game should be encouraged--better to Legacy than not to Legacy! :-D
