The Sims 3 Round Robin Legacy

The Sims 3 Round Robin Legacy:
The Merle Family

simfulness has decided to let me take over organization of the Round Robin legacy.
So basically, I'm trying to organize a 10 generation legacy, Round Robin style.

A Round Robin Legacy is where each generation is played by a different person.
It's lots of fun because everyone gets to contribute, with much less work on any one person :)
The Process:
I will start out with the first generation, and as soon as all of the founder's children age into YA, the heir will be voted for via an heir poll. Then, I will upload the heir for the next person to begin generation 2! (and so on and so forth, until all 10 generations are complete.) Here are the original round robin rules - they were made for TS2, but we will be modifying them for TS3.

All generations will be posted at ts3legacies with the full post in the user's journal. These posts will be tagged "round robin: merle" so it'll be easier to find all updates. That way, if you happened to forget who's journal the legacy is currently being updated in, or don't want to have to keep up with that, you can simply go to ts3legacies and click on the tag. Does that make sense? xD

The rules we will be playing by:

1. You can use money cheats, if you'd like. But in my opinion, the challenge of being poor is more fun, haha. It's up to you!
2. You must have at least two kids, in order for there to be a vote. Feel free to have as many kiddies as you'd like, the more the merrier!
3. All traits must be randomly rolled, just like a regular legacy. You may choose their Lifetime Wish.
4. No playable sims are allowed to be married into the legacy, only townies! All the more fun to give them a makeover once they move in, right? ;)
5. Family Trait Rule: every heir must have the Kleptomaniac trait.
6. If someone drops out, the next person on the list will take their spot.

A guide on how to upload a sim as a .sim file:
**** if the sim is wearing any CC, please be sure to upload it in a .rar with the .sim file.
That way the next person can choose to download the CC they came with or not,
but at least they'd have the option.

1. Click on a mirror in-game and choose "Change Appearance".
2. In the bottom left, click on the circle with three dots. [reference picture]
3. Click on Save Sim to Bin, the picture of the folder. [reference picture]
4. Then go to My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\SavedSims. You should find a .sim file labeled with your sim's name.
5. Upload using a file sharing website. I recommend box.net.
6. Then link to it for the next person to download.

(If you're still confused about the process, just let me know!)

How to install the sim into your game:

1. Download the sim file.
2. Place .sim file in your My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\SavedSims folder.
