How to create a legacy and stick with it
I was wondering how those of you who love playing legacy style manage to stick with it through so many generations. I have done it, but I think it was years ago when I was still playing Sims 3. Usu...

A legacy has been something on my mind for a while now, so I've been trying to make my own legacy style . For me I try to keep a little rule book and create, update and remove the rules as I go until I find a good balance.
I do things like name the kids using the first letter of their parents names and go from there. My gay and lesbian Sims adopt NPC children which is really fun. Sims who "Hate Children" are more or less the Sims that won't have children and that is fun in its own way because then I have to decide who ends up with them if anyone.
I use a randomization app to randomize choices like aspirations, traits, skills and career points. I also assign Sims (randomized of course) "chosen" skills. I really like this a lot but what it means is that if a Sim completes a chosen skill then they are rewarded with the option of buying a reward trait. Same goes with completing an Aspiration or Career.
My other tip is really stylize each household. Make them feel different than each other that way each time you play a new household it feels new and fresh.
What I haven't quite figured out is aging. I know I need to let them grow up and age and die but it's hard!
My Willowbrook has 13 households. 5 are my legacy families and the rest except one are the next generation of those legacies.
