With the infant update & expansion pack coming out in 2 weeks, I’ve been thinking about trying the legacy challenge again. My question for you guys is, do you typically try to build a new house every gen, or do you just keep re-building & adding on as you go? I’m not sure what I want to do! Lol.

I think it all depends on the Legacy Challenge you're playing. I only play Pinstar's Legacy Challenge. It has rules, one of which is the heir must stay on the lot, you can't move the family out or move them to another town. If you move your Heir off the lot, then they can no longer be the heir. It's a challenge for a reason. ;) I generally have an idea of what size house I'm going for at the start. It may take some time before my Founder has it completed, but that's only because I go for large to accommodate a large family.

Unless your legacy demands the entire family stays on the lot, I would just move out the spares after you've chosen your heir. With Pinstar's the heir has to be a YA before they are the actual Heir. Generally, since we have to play on normal length, the Founder dies off by then. Sometimes redecorating is called for. New paint/wallpaper, new floors. Maybe new furniture, as it can be afforded. Like I said, it all depends on the rules of the Legacy you're going to play.
