I\'ve decided to challenge myself by having several generations of one family complete every Lifetime Wish in the game.

Complete list of Lifetime Wishes:
http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Lifetime_wish

Each generation may only have one successful \"Try for Baby\". Twins and Triplets are the only acceptable reason to have multiple children in the family.

All personality traits must be selected by hitting the random button.

Each generation upon reaching Young Adult age must move to an empty lot and start fresh. Anything that can be carried in a Sims inventory may move with them to the new lot.  Sims may not be moved in Edit Town mode.

** SPECIAL FEATURE **

The Night of a Thousand Deaths

The weekend after Victoria and Gina turned into teenagers, Victoria threw a party. She invited all of their school friends, who for some reason decided to bring their parents. At the stroke of 10pm, four of the Elders that were guests at the party perished simultaneously. Was it something on the Buffet? Did the Teens of the town get together and plan this somehow? We will never know. All I know is, this is why I never invite Elders to my parties.
