  1. I have been trying to keep my family with me so I could keep the grave stones. I know that there is supposed to be six sims in this house but my current, house 7, has six sims already because of alien abductions and a set of twins. Is it OK if I move them all in and adopt the children as my soon to be elders die or should I move them in one at a time as one dies in house 8 to keep with the rules? I am trying to collect all of my gravestones for this challenge/Legacy since I have never been able to get past generation 5 in any legacy style game I play and with this challenge I do manage that.

    1. What I have been doing lately is when I get notification that a past member of the family died I will go and pick up the urn at the old house. Just a stop in and grab the urn and then back home. Only time I move in a sim is if they are the last of the previous house since I find their urn is not at the past house if they die alone.

    2. That's completely up to you tiggerwv....I set forth a set of rules, but it's up to you how hard you stay to them! My aim here is that you are having fun...so do what makes you the happiest! If it's not sticking to the rules all the time...then do that! =)

  2. If one of your adopted children gets taken away is it a house fail or can I adopt another child to complete the challenge?

    1. It would be considered a House Challenge fail as that adopted Sim filled one of the roles & nobody else can take it's place...if that makes sense.
