Thanks! I'm in then

"Do I have to start the families as they were before the game?" No you do not have to start like I did, you can use the in game hood and have 2 gens already started. IE: Mortimer Goth as gen 1 and Cassandra and Alexander as gen 2.
" Is it alright if I have my own families that were already there before the challenge started?" Yes you can have your own families if you want to but you must follow the rules on the main names you must keep going for 10 gens.

Oldies
I've just finished playing with the Oldie family.Herb and Coral adopted a daughter named Chris.
Chris might be the heir to the Oldie fortune when Herb dies.
Sadly, Coral died a couple of days before Chris became a teenager.
You can read all about it here.
I'll be playing the Broke family next.

All the main named teens have gotten there first kiss, Frida Goth picked Brian Marsh as her lover and will help carry the Marsh name forward.
Agnes Crumplebottom still has not chosen but she will in the next week of play.
I am waiting on finding the secondary name carriers mates this last week of teenhood.
ADD:
Tango Caliente has made his choice in one of the Tricou teens.
I was on a Goth family outing with the Crumplebottom's when Tango comes on the lot and head straight to the Tricou teen, he talk to her for a while and they played a few games then he leaps into her arms, choice made so on to the next secondary name carrier.
ADD: Loren Darong has made his choice in Tristen Love from downtown by given her a back rub. (Pics can be seen in post #68.)

Danny Simovitch has made his choice of a downtown teen name Jeannie Darga, they will carry the Simovitch foward.
The only 2 teens I know of that have tank tops on, Danny grew up to his and Jeannie has always had the tank top in my games.
There may be more teens with tank tops but I can not remember any at this time.

I've been meaning to update on my progress since forever but never got around to actually doing it. Now it's been 4 rotations (=28 in game days) since my last post and there's no way I'll recap everything that happened. But I can show you some pictures of what the families look like right now.
I'm going in alphabetical order here, so I'm starting with Broke:
Broke household #1: Brandi and Skip Broke. Skip was brought back to life using the genie lamp.
Broke household #2: Beau Broke. He's living alone for now. He has a thing going on with Raphael Pleasant but I don't know yet if anything will ever come out of this.
Broke household #3: Mia Broke (the child Brandi is pregnant with at the start of the game). Also living alone. She's having an affaire with the married Alexander Goth. Initially I wanted these two to have a baby together but since Alexander got 3 babies in the last rotation alone (and bringing his total up to 5) I'm not so sure anymore. I don't really think Pleasantview needs more Goths at this point in time.
Burb
Burb household #1: John and Jennifer Burb and their youngest son Lennart.
Burb household #2: Lana Burb (2nd child of John and Jennifer) and her 3 boyfriends: Tiave Teens (left), Loren Teens (middle) and Orion Teens (front). I have decided that for me the Teens are not considered Townies and therefore allowed to marry in. The little girl is Frida Burb, daughter of Lana and Tiave, and the baby Lana's holding is her son with Loren, Lucas.
Caliente
Caliente household #1: Dina Caliente and her twin sons Ruben (left) and Gonzalo (right). Their father is Michael Bachelor who was brought back to life thanks to the Paranormal career reward (unfortunately he already died of old age - again)
Caliente household #2: Nina Caliente. She moved out of the house and into an appartment when Dina married Michael and was pregnant with the twins.
Dreamer
Dirk Dreamer, his wife Lilith (Pleasant) and their children Damien and Daria
Goth
from back to front: Bella Goth, Alexander Goth, his wife Lucy (Burb), their first set of twins Hector and Camilla, their second set of twins Themis and Thetis (don't ask me who's who in this picture...) and Alexander's alien spawn Berenike.
Langerak
Kaylynn Langerak and her husband Benjamin (Oldie, plant sim spawn of Coral). Kaylynn's holding their son Parker, Benjamin their daughter Mae.
Lothario
Don Lothario, his wife Cassandra (Goth) and their youngest daughter Aurora.
Pleasant (and no, I did not skip Oldie. The only Sim with the last name of Oldie is in college right now and doesn't have their own household)
Pleasant household #1: Right now it's only Raphael Pleasant (third child of Daniel and Mary-Sue) in the main Pleasant household - his older siblings have their own households, his younger siblings are at college and his parents died last rotation. I will probably move one of his younger siblings in with him once they graduate because I'm not sure if he will ever have any kids and I want to keep the house in the family.
Pleasant household #2: Dustin Broke, his girlfriend Angela Pleasant and their two sons, Paul (child) and Patrick (teenager).
Students
Student household #1 (from back to front and left to right): Priscilla Pleasant (oldest daughter of Angela and Dustin), Rose Oldie (Plant Sim spawn of Coral Oldie, but cured of plantsimism as a toddler), Amelia Lothario and her twin sister Aurelia Lothario (daughters of Don and Cassandra in case that wasn't obvious).
Student household #2: Twins Gregory and Victoria Pleasant (left, youngest children of Daniel and Mary-Sue), their half-sister Catrina Caliente (right, daughter of Nina Caliente and Daniel Pleasant) and Catrina's boyfriend Anthony Broke (youngest son of Brandi and Skip)
I'm going in alphabetical order here, so I'm starting with Broke:

Wow that is so creative! Plant spawn of Coral Oldie meaning you keep the name in the game! awesome. I never thought of that. Really cool update. I love all the hairs you have especially for the guy sims. It's nice to see you brought some of the key dead sims like Michael and Skip.

I've decided to start this challenge, and I've put all the names in a random order generator to decide the order of my rotation. It's : Broke, Lothario, Goth, Dreamer, Pleasant, Burb, Caliente, Langarek, Oldies. So far I've only done Broke & Lothario / Langarek.
Broke
I always struggle with playing the Broke's because the struggle is always so tedious to me and usually Brandi seems annoying to me. This time, I don't know why, she just pulled at my heart. Early on she lectures Dustin for his grades in front of Angela and Angela kisses him afterward and almost seems to cheer him up. It makes me think&plan for Dustin to want to be the kind of man Angela deserves- perhaps because he realizes he could and maybe should lose her... Beau grows into a child and takes upon most of the cleaning while Brandi is pregnant. Brandi gives birth to a baby boy named whom I named Tyler. Things began to turn around for the Brokes and the boys got A+ report cards as Tyler aged into a toddler. Brandi began to casually see Darren Dreamer (met as he was walking by) during Tyler's toddlerhood and he aged up at the end of the week.
Brandi's predestined hobby is Arts & Crafts in my game, I found out because I bought her a pottery wheel as something to do while she waited for the baby while the other two were at school. This made me start thinking of her and Darren as a couple with a very cute gallery of paintings and pottery, and they do seem to have a lot in common- even their sons have something in common (their taste in women, badum tsss!).
Lothario / Langerak
Don moved Kaylynn Langerak into the home and their romantic affair became very heated very fast. On an added benefit, his home also became very tidy. I don't think Kay is really looking for love, if she were she wouldn't be with two different, involved, men. I think I know what she wants. She found out she was expecting about halfway through the week. Don made it quite known that as far as he was concerned they wouldn't have children together and this child would remain fatherless so that he could go on to marry Cassandra. Alone, while Don was at work, Kay gave birth to a healthy pair of twins! Named Hollee and Brayson, Kay was ready to begin her little family. Don hardly noticed the newborns when he came home with his second promotion that week. He went straight to bed and the bonus money was siphoned by Kaylynn to build a small nursery attached to the back of the first floor.
Next is Goth, where hopefully Don will be a major feature as well.
Broke

I finally finished first my rotation!!
Goth
Dreamer
Pleasant
Burb
Caliente
Oldie
Pleasantview Updates
In Closing
I am trying to start with a "fresh" generation, so that the existing sims can be Gen X/0 and anyone who was teen or younger can be my Gen1s, that way I can kind of form these legacies [so called] fresh. I'm thinking of incorporating different legacy challenges (like the DITFT, or the Alphabet Legacy, etc) to keep me interested as time wears on. With these big challenges sometimes the families blur together so I want each to have their own 'theme' and generational rules. Right now I am setting that whole system up so I haven't started keeping points or really doing much toward the "challenge" part for me. The only Fresh Start I'm waiting on is the Caliente baby. Otherwise, I've got Alexander for the Goths and so on, and all the other families have had a few spares thrown in to also help flush the population so later inbreeding doesn't become a huge issue. If the trees spread out early on there should be plenty of branches to chose from later on.
Dustin Broke & Dirk Dreamer are going to Sim State Uni. The Pleasant Sisters & Alexander are going to Academie le Tour. They are going to be the start of my next rotation.
Eventually custom colleges will be built but for now I'm doing piece by piece renovations of different places and things.
I've also decided to keep a small census and install a more vast range of geneticized skintones O_O In other words, I am digging deep into this. My census will include Birth (rotation #/or age group at rotation1), Death (rotation #), Heritage (family blood lines in the person- ie, dreamer & broke for Brittney). I may add other information I want to keep track of as well.
Goth
Cassandra first called up the travel agency to book a honeymoon and the two were wed and off to Takemizu Village. Their honeymoon was pretty standard. When they came home the Goth manor got a small refurnishing in her room to accommodate another person. After they returned Alexander also aged into a teenager and Cassandra found out she was expecting her first child from her marriage. Cassandra eventually gave birth to set of triplets, two girls and one boy. These children were Samantha, David, and Katrina Lothario. I did have a few hiccups here with my game, nothing major, but it basically did involve doing things over again, saving, and doing a few cheats so I didn't have to endure an entire family's chapter in a rotation full length (I set-hour'd to skip school/work waiting). Their rotation ended with the triplets growing into toddlers and Alexander was getting scholarships for college. Mortimer was also furthering his romance with Dina and Cassandra had just found out she was pregnant again.
Dreamer
Darren had begun to get close to Brandi Broke during her play-through. For the first half of the week during his he was painting and paying bills. The second half of the week Darren spent time with Brandi while Dirk worked on his tinkering hobby. Darren eventually proposed to Brandi; they had a lot in common, they both had dead spouses, they both enjoyed art, they both had sons. With the trailer property liquidated the two teenage boys had enough money to put aside for college. The Dreamer house was slowly modified to fit the blended family. Beau grew into a teen shortly thereafter. To make a little extra room, Dirk and Dustin went off to college together and decided to attend Sim State University. They had both managed to earn a few scholarships and with the money from the trailer they had been allotted two grand each. Right before the end of their turn in the rotation Brandi went into labor and delivered a baby girl named Brittney.
Pleasant
The turn with the Pleasants started with ACR helping Daniel pursue re-sparking his marriage with Mary Sue while their twin daughters got into some serious fights down the hall. With Kaylynn in her own home and out of the maid business, she was replaced and Daniel's home life kind of settled slightly for now. Mary Sue, however, got demoted, and her life was still quite rocky. The twins had plenty of time with their boyfriends since they were going to college (not yet enrolled so still teens). The romance between Daniel and Mary Sue came with a surprise that was discovered toward the end of their week. Mary Sue was not delighted.
Burb
The tiny family that I've never played moved into a small home that seems a little perfect for them. Jen was absolutely in love with the new house and she locked John up in the house for their first entire day- she was insatiable, her wants just kept turning up woohoo. The Dreamers and Mortimer Goth attempted to welcome the Burbs to the neighborhood but that didn't pan out. Jennifer seemed quite taken with Mortimer. John's pre-destined hobby was nature, not much of a surprise. Instead of a conventional job it was decided the Burbs would live off the land. Jen found out she was expecting their second child halfway through the week. Lucy aged into a teen toward the end of the week and John began going to Sue's Kitchen to earn some extra income while they waited for the harvest of his small garden. At the start of the weekend Jen gave birth to Jack and Sophie.
Caliente
The sisters, I honestly don't play many of the premades in Pleasantview so I have no clue what to really do with them and I'm mostly getting to know them. Nina got a job in the Slacker career and Dina attempted her best impression of a lady to win over Mortimer. I'm sure her leopard print sheets sent the right impression to his wallet. That night they were robbed (not that the game might have karma but it also might have karma). He took their work out machine, their wet-bar, and though he was caught and insurance covered the damages, they were still robbed. Nina began to work on promotions while Dina still attempted to work her charms on Mortimer. He may have been falling into her sheets but there still wasn't a ring on her finger. Toward the weekend Dina began to have bouts of nausea. She'd found out she was pregnant by the time I had to stop playing them, but I forget if was into 3rd trimester yet.
Oldie
*I found the method above for Coral Oldie quite inspiring and clever! So I borrowed it.
Since these two are already elders it was a tough call on how to bring about an heir. I had them start a garden upon plantsim dreams while trying to think of if I wanted them to adopt another child. The plantsim dream took pretty early on though, so I didn't have to worry about adoption. Toward the end of the week we had cute little plantbabies whom were quickly cured of their plantsim-ness to grow normal lives. The first was Sorren. After Sorren was born Coral had a beautiful harvest of mouthwatering oranges come in that helped her decide another child was in order. Before she did that she used her oranges to fund a small renovation for their small home. The second plantbaby was spawned as the weekend was starting. When Coral had Pearl she also rolled the wish to have ten children. We'll see if that happens before her death, why not try? I decided to make Pearl an 'Irish twin' and Coral spawned another baby, this was James. During the weekend, and what probably helped ease the stress of three toddlers, was Sorren's birthday into childhood. I don't think Herb enjoys this retirement which includes a resurgence of being a parent, he spends most days in the office writing to help pay the bills and making food.

Pleasantview Updates
When the Brokes vacated the trailer and moved in with the Dreamers the entire trailer park was bulldozed to make another, more cramped and less pleasant trailer park (apartments), as well as some (conventional) apartments, and a new convenience store. Woodland Dr was the first to be renovated in Pleasantview.

This sounds like fun! I love Pleasantview and all the characters, so even if I don't finish this challenge, I'll at least have fun playing with it. Though, I'm going to add a bit to my version - I'm going to include Bluewater Village Sims as well, because I ship Dina Caliente/Malcolm Landgraab too much to not do that pairing. I'll post updates about my first rotation soon!

Okay, I did my first few rotations! Here's what's going on in my game so far.
Caliente/Goth/Landgraab/Larson
Pleasant/Langerak/Oldie/Jacquet
Lothario
Other
Caliente/Goth/Landgraab/Larson
I started the challenge with the Caliente sisters. Nina immediately left home to go live Downtown. Upon moving in, the first thing she did was invite Don over for a date, which of course, resulted in her pregnancy. She has since given birth to a boy, Alejandro Caliente. Sadly, she is no longer on speaking terms with Don, as she caught him cheating, but she has since set her sights on her next door neighbor, Jason Larson.
As for Dina, I got extremely lucky with figuring out a way for her to meet Malcolm Landgraab, as he came by her house on the first day while jogging. Dina greeted him and the two hit it off immediately. But she soon found herself caught between two rich men, because Mortimer Goth proposed to her. The engagement didn't last long, though - after getting a call from Bella, and realizing that she was still alive, Mortimer immediately broke off the engagement and remarried Bella. This gave Dina the chance to marry Malcolm - but what he doesn't know is that she's pregnant with Mortimer's child.

Pleasant/Langerak/Oldie/Jacquet
Daniel was caught cheating by Mary-Sue, and was kicked out immediately. Shortly after that, Lilith ran away from home. But things took a turn for the unpleasant when, two days later, Angela invited Dustin over for a date while Mary-Sue was at work, and got pregnant with twins. Mary-Sue was unhappy with this, of course, and convinced Angela to put the babies up for adoption when they were born - but thankfully, they aren't too far away from her, because they were adopted by the Oldies. Due to the way adoption mechanics work in this game, Isabella and Liam Oldie no longer recognize Angela as their mother, but rather their niece.
While Angela was pregnant, Mary-Sue got fired from her job, and invited her friend Gilbert Jacquet over to cheer her up. One thing led to another, and she ended up pregnant herself - the two of them got married pretty much immediately to save face, much to the delight of Denise. Angela moved in with them as well, but Mary-Sue left Lilith at home - Lilith has since moved in with the Dreamers.
Meanwhile, Kaylynn Langerak was invited to move in with Don Lothario, since she's a homeless NPC with no place to go. She ended up getting pregnant to him, and moved out to raise the baby on her own. Shortly after that, Daniel Pleasant moved to a house Downtown, and invited her over for a date - Kaylynn wanted Iliana to have a father figure in her life, since Don is currently elsewhere, so she got married to Daniel. She's now pregnant with his children.

Lothario
After having last hurrah flings with Kaylynn and Nina, Don finally tied the knot with Cassandra, and the two of them also moved Downtown. Cassie already knew about the cheating, though, and befriended Nina behind Don's back. The two of them "caught him cheating" and were both pretty pissed at him - though, Nina and Cassie remained friends, because really, they have no reason to hate each other. Sadly, though, Cassie doesn't have the heart to kick Don to the curb - she keeps rolling a fear of breaking up with them, so for the time being, they remain in a loveless marriage. She has since given birth to twin boys, Samuel and Sebastian, and Don has apparently become an alcoholic - he keeps autonomously drinking juice from his bar, sometimes straight from the bottle.
Other
Broke: Brandi gave birth to twin girls, Hope and Miracle.
Gieke: Chester was abducted by aliens, and had a daughter named Stella - he is now hoping to get abducted again.
Burb: John and Jennifer had two more children, Noah and Emma.
Tinker: Stephen and Wanda also had twins, Tommy and Tammy.
Ramirez: Lisa and Checo had a son named Miguel.
Delarosa: Florence is currently in the process of trying to become a PlantSim - however, she's also romantically interested in Darren Dreamer, so we'll see how that turns out.

I imagine it would be, however, I would never have the focus and concentration to pull it off. You could always try.
sooper-shoopy - I fully expect everyone to tweak the challenge to do what most fits their play style or curiosities. So go right ahead. Yeah, I agree, those two are a match made for each other! haha.
SenPain - random occurrence scenarios = ROS. This is a list of negative and positive things a sim is to do, numbered from 1 to .... You can use random.org to roll to see what number to use and then you have to do the action. So some examples are... Lose your job | Makeover your Kitchen | Get a new BFF | Buy a Car | Take up Painting for a week | Divorce etc. It's basically a way to allow spontaneous & random things to happen to your sims to keep you from getting bored. Google it and you should find a good list.
I have decided to start pleasantview all over again. HAHA.
sooper-shoopy - This sounds like fun! I love Pleasantview and all the characters, so even if I don't finish this challenge,
So yup I totally understand sooper-shoopy. I'm the same way. Have fun till it is no more fun then move on. I find it hard to finish a big challenge like this. So it may take me a few.. hundred times. But that is what Sims 2 is all about, creation and evolution. Well at least for me.

I started this earlier today. So far, I have only played one family,
The Oldies.
They decided to adopt a teen who would carry on the family name. When the social worker arrived in the morning and the dialogue box popped up, I was so tempted to click that male option, but I just clicked on random and got a teen girl named Hera.
Sadly, she met Don Lothario and fell for him.
Darned ACR didn't help either and now she has triplets (no more worrying about that name dying off because they are elders with Hera's contribution). Two boys, Bran and Arthur, and a girl Delilah. Both Delila and Bran got her eyes and Don's skintone, but Arthur got a tan freckled skin and green eyes. :lovestruc
Don pays her $200 per kid in child support, but hasn't gone around the house since the day he seduced her.
Also, I had no idea Mary Sue was also adopted. I got a surprise after so many years. XD
The next family I will be playing are the Goodies.
