The descriptions, like the original rules, were not written by me.
The point system is as follows. I've made some slight modifications, but you can always use the point system used for the original version here.
+1 point for every generation completed
+1 for each objective completed
+2 for every optional objective
+5 for changing the house to suit the style of each generation
-1 point for breaking a rule in a generation
The general rules are:
- Have fun (obviously)
- No using cheats to maximize motives
- No money cheats
The Objectives for each generation are:
Generation 1: "Your family was always into the farming deal. They spent their days working hard and asked for their children to do the same. So when you turned 18, your parents surprised you with your own plot of land to continue on tradition. And having always been one to want to impress the folks. You begin creating your own small garden, dedicating your time to that rather then dealing with a dreadful 9-to-5 suit and tie job."Generation 2: "Life with your hands in the dirt wasn't the life for you. You always craved to spend your time in the city and always loved when in the inner-city limits. You crave for more important things then seeing seeds sprout into plants or the days your father spent fishing, as they didn't interest you as much as your siblings. You decide not to follow the road of a farmer, but turn to business instead."Spoiler:Generation 3: "Your parents have always seemed to spend more time in the office then home. So you decided to go on relationship rampages/different places and see the world. Better then remaining at home alone, that was for sure."Spoiler:Generation 4: "Your parents has been everywhere with rich and wonderful stories that were always told to you ever since you (and your siblings, if any ) were little. This sparked a creative interest in you, filling you with the need to write and paint the beautiful images they spoke about. "Spoiler:Generation 5: "It must be that creative gene, because you were born with a guitar in your hand. You've played it ever since you were able to pick it up, not caring if you didn't strum correctly or even well. But that you knew would get better in time. As it always does."Spoiler:Generation 6: "You've always wanted one of your own. So when you grew old enough you were overjoyed with knowing that you could have children one day. You'd play with your barbies, G.I. Joe, and doll house waiting for the one day to have your own babies."Spoiler:Generation 7: "There was something about you. You were different then the others. Could it have been you were smothered in too much love from your parents or you were just born that way. Either way, things are going to change around here. For an evil better..."Spoiler:Generation 8: "You were their perfect child. And you dislike it, even more so when you realized that your parents were criminals."Spoiler:Generation 9: "Ever since you were little you had a fascination with the people whom worked hard for the good of the people. You couldn't help but want to marry someone that had those traits and pass them onto your own kids."Spoiler:Generation 10: "You always wanted to take out the bad in this world. And no matter what you'd try your hardest to prevail over the evil in your town. That was your motto anyway and thus is why you trained yourself so as to be great at what you do. You got married early and had kids shortly after that so when you became an adult you were already settled down."Spoiler:Generation 11: "Your dad always taught you that people were always to be helped out. You'd help the old lady across the street if she wanted you to. Death was always something you wanted to help prevent if possible. Either way. You'd make this world better."Spoiler:Generation 12: "Many years have passed since someone actually wanted to grow a garden. And being the only one whom has started it on it you being bad but begin getting better."Spoiler:Generation 13: "It was from your father and mother that you found your way into the kitchen. You've always like to cook since you were able to touch the stove. Fancy dishes would be your specialty. It was just something that always kept you going."Spoiler:Generation 14: "You never felt like doing a lot of work. Not even for a moment did it appeal to you to play ball or go around playing tag with the other children. It wasn’t anything that interested you. In fact you’d rather spend the day watching TV or reading books. Besides it wasn't like your parents yelled at you or anything. "Spoiler:Generation 15: "Born to be half-siblings, you both spent most of your time together. You both spent time together ever since you both could remember and was for the most part inseparable. People on the street thought it was cute, but not everyone was so happy to see half-siblings getting along. But you’d both prove that you two could still remain friends forever."Spoiler:Generation 16 (Optional!): "You were always interested in things like your parents were. They spent their time building robots which got you curious on all things supernatural. "Spoiler:Spoiler:
