The Ambrose Family
Sort of an alphabet challenge without any official rules. Vanilla save.
The Rules:
The next heir will be of opposite gender than the previous (boy - girl - boy). No cheating the gender of the baby!
There should be at least two pregnancies, even if the first born is the preferred gender, or twins / triplets are born.
Picking the traits: randomize infant & toddler traits, but choose one of the parents' trait when the kid ages up to a child (if both parents have same trait, then that should be chosen, if possible). Second trait will be randomized, and the third can be chosen freely.
Favour traits, aspirations, partners, etc. that start with the gen's letter.
Every heir should complete at least three aspirations (child / teen / adulthood and/or elder).
Every heir should have at least one (best) friend from childhood.

The Broke Casanova
Playing as a sleazy Don Lothario! Limited (expansion) packs at first, adding more when generations progress.
Some mods (most notably, Healthcare Redux, RPO, Basemental Drugs & Gambling).
The Rules
Move to a crappy house with no money and no actual job (figure out how to afford rent and bills!)
Aim to date every base game young adult / adult female townie. Try not to get caught!
If and when Don gets broken up with, try to rekindle the relationship.
Dump anyone who ends up pregnant!
Can move in with a romantic partner if asked, but can't take any of their money. If the relationship ends, Don will move back to his original home with the same amount of money he had.
Retire as an elder and pick an heir (youngest daughter).
