Keep in mind that my furthest Sims 4 legacy is on generation 4, including the founder. I mostly build.
Do you play with aging on or off (age whenever you feel)?
On, for played households. Occasionally I'll turn it off for a day or two if there's something I want to happen and there's a birthday close.
What lifespan you use: small, normal or long?
On my original legacy, I think normal? Could be long, I don't play it often. Most of my saves, just normal.
Do you rotate with the offspring?
No. I don't like my Sims leaving. I want them all together. They stay in the house as long as possible, and if they leave, they don't have children. When they get old, I must move them back in so I can have their gravestones. My current adult generation shall have only one child so that I don't even have to move any siblings out.
Who do you choose to be your heir?
If there's more than one, the oldest.
Do you set goals for lifestages?
My original legacy is to eventually marry into every pre-made family and have both sides of every career. Each generation and their spouse gets one half of the same career to complete before they die of old age.
Do you have a theme/set of goals for each generation?
As stated above, there's a career goal for each generation.
Do you only play challenges?
No. A lot of the challenges I saw asked for score-keeping. I just want some unpredictable virtual dolls. Sims 4 sims are pretty predictable though, which is why my original legacy is only on generation 4. I build, mostly.
Let me know your personal "rules"...
I'm kind of thinking I need to go back and get rid of my 4th generation. I forgot the bit about marrying into pre-made families and married a Sim I made myself. Whoops. To be fair though, she's awfully cute.
