I always wanted to live in the sims world, but it took a lot of time till I deciced to allow my simself to do that :) I thought it should be a great idea to tell about your adventures in the sims world and to write about the sims created by other simmers ;) Thank you so much for that to Marialein, taraIris94, anataipeva, pammiechick!
So if you want to live in the sims world you have to start a legacy or your simself dinasty (I think there no big difference between these two words) and I think it's really great to have your own dinasty what goes from generation to generation :) So here is my own rules I made on the basis of the legacy challenge by ImaginingMystic:
I. Succession laws:
1. Gender law - equality: the founder may be of either gender. Both boys and girls are eligible for the title of heir.
2. Bloodline law - traditional: children who are naturally born from the previous generation are eligible to be named heir. Adopted children are ineligible to be named heir unless there are no naturally born children, at which point they become eligible for that generation.
3. Heir law - first born: the oldest, by order of joining the family, eligible living child is named heir.
4. Species law - tolerant: the species of the child has no impact on their eligibility for heir status
II. Gameplay rules:
1. The family house is the only house where heir lives, he/she can't move in other house. Other family members can leave home when they reach the age of young adult.
2. I control only my simself/heir. But I can fulfill whims of other family members helping them in their life aspirations and if they have some whims about my simself/heir, care of children homework, especially if it has affection on their aspirations. No any restart after bad events if even something wrong will happen to my simself!
3. When legacy's heir reaches young adulthood he/she participates in Bachelor/Bachelorette challenge/show and it's the only time when she/he leaves family home and moves in Bachelor/Bachelorette house for few weeks. The winner of the challenge/show becomes a spouse of the heir.
4. I play using long lifespan.
5. I play only my simself household, but if it's needed for story I can switch to another household for short time.
6. I may use money cheat if it's needed.
7. The next generation always starts when legacy heir reaches the young adulthood.
8. All previous heirs and their spouses live in family house to the rest of their lives.
9. If heir dies being very young then his/her younger sibling changes him/her, if he/she doesn't have children yet.
10. All children traits and aspirations will be rolled using Random Trait Generator by ImaginingMystic.
III. Bachelor/Bachelorette challenge/show: it's based on XUrbanSimsX rules (you can found them in www.xurbansimsx.com/p/the-sims-4.html ), but here I added some new rules for myself:
1. You can control only bachelor/bachelorette. If she/he has some whims about the guys/girls who participate in this challenge you may to fulfill them, except woohoo/try for baby. Mostly bachelor, - ette and others should have their own will and act as they want.
2. I decided to turn off jealousy during this challenge and it's the only time when I do that. When I played the Bachelor challenge for king Alistair Crawford ("The Wheel Of Fortune") I didn't do that and I had totally different experience than now. Yes, there was a lot of drama, but... I think I couldn't assess fairly the situation. I also think it's silly to be jealous knowing that it's a challenge and Bachelor/Bachelorette will flirt and try to get in romantic interaction with all participants! So I did it following my sense of realism and logic. (I can turn off and turn on jealousy as I use MC Command Center mod). I made sure it helps to see how things really are.
3. Bachelor/Bachelorette can end the challenge earlier if he/she feels she has a special bond with one of participants. I think it's not about how much participants are talented and skilled, it's about friendship and romance. That's what I decided after my simself's Bachelorette challenge.
4. During this challenge autonomous woohoo and autonomous try for baby modules of MC Command Center mod are also turned off. I may turn them on only when two guys/girls stay in the challenge/show.
5. Bachelor, - ette may flirt with participants only in the beginning as she/he has to initiate romantic interaction (to the first kiss). Later she/he may only to fulfill her/his romantic whims if they are about specific person. All romantic interactions should happen by itself.
6. I don't use sims created by me in Bachelorette/Bachelor challenge. All sims are and will be created by other simmers and downloaded from the gallery!
IV. Storytelling:
The story will be told in the first person. Every heir will tell her/his own story from generation to generation starting from my simself. Sometimes you can find the thoughts of other sims if it will be needed for the story, but the heir is most important and he/she is the main character in my simself legacy.
Every chapter will be marked 1.1., 2.11 and etc. First number shows a generation. I think it should be helpful for the readers.
Mods I use:
Mc Command Center
Relationship Print Console (it helps in Bachelor/Bachelorette challenge as this mod can calculate your sims relationships with other sims)
Party Anywhere
Longer Parties, More Guests
Larger Household
More People At The Gym
More People At Bar and Nightclub
No Mosaic (yes, you can see my sims naked and having all parts of body!)
Teen Young Adult Romance (although I'm not sure I still need that if I use Mc Command Center)
Alien Autonomy Mod
Some CC I think I really need that in my game
Andrew Pose Player (I decided to try it)

About my simself
Her name is Rosen Black and she presents me in the sims world. I think it will be one of the most interesting experiences I had in the sims game. Why Rosen Black? This name came from that times when I was in band with my ex-boyfriend. I even have black t-shirt "Rose" :) I still use this pseudonym everywhere, it's like my second real name. (RoseNBlack).
It wasn't easy to create my simself, but when I found my hairstyle things became easier :)
Rosen does the same what I do in reality - she is creative, outgoing, romantic like me and has Party Animal aspiration. She's dj like me (unfortunately, I don't do that already long time and I really miss it :( ), likes to dance like me and loves gothic culture and music like me. So here will be real me and I'll feel more than weird when my simself will die I guess :D Luckily I'll have a possibility to live in her firstborn child body and soul and will write this story ;)
