Default Completely Random Legacy Challenge
This challenge is inspired by the original Random Legacy Challenge. Full credit goes to its creator. My version has different rules and additional gameplay elements.

Create a founder:
Create a random Sim using the "Randomize" button in Create a Sim. If you want to use custom skins over defaults, assign each skin tone to a number and roll a die to decide. Do not change their gender, appearance and clothes in any category. Use a random name generator for the founder's first and last name.

Aspiration, Personality and Turn-On and Turn-Off:
Assign a number to each aspiration, and use a random number generator to determine which specific aspiration to choose. Do the same for zodiac sign and turn-on and turn-off.

Era Rules:
The era is determined for the founder using a random number generator. The next generations follow the next logical era in sequence.
Example Sequence: 1920s → 1950s → 1980s → Modern Day.

Era-specific Limitations:
Each era is going to change the gameplay. For example:
1920s: Limited to vintage-style clothing, no modern appliances.
1950s: Only certain careers allowed (e.g., housewife/homemaker, teacher, doctor, artist, scientist).
1980s: Must use retro-style clothing and furniture, focus on technology and business careers. (Business, video games, marketing, music).
Modern Day: Full access to all in-game objects and careers.

Starting House and Funds:
Before building the house, use a random number to determine the starting funds (between 20,000 and 50,000 simoleons) The money cheat is needed here.
Moving on to the house;
Option 1 (Random shapes):
Use 3 to 4 random shapes (such as squares, rectangles, triangles) to create the basic structure of the house.
Roll a die to select the shapes and arrange these shapes to form the outer structure of the house.

Option 2 (Fun alternative for variety):
Use the Random Homes randomizer. Generates random houses complete with pictures of the exterior and interior, which can inspire you with different layouts and styles. You can roll only twice.
