๐Ÿ“– The story

A is for the founder's children. B is for theirs. By the time you reach Z, twenty-six generations of one family have marched in perfect order through the alphabet โ€” a tidy, satisfying, surprisingly long-haul naming legacy.

๐Ÿ’ The goal

Run the bloodline until you've named children **A through Z in order** across the generations.

AgingOn, normal
SimsOne founder (Gen 1 = letter A)

๐Ÿš€ Getting started

  • Create a founder whose children will all have **A** names. Each subsequent generation moves one letter down the alphabet.

๐Ÿ“‹ General rules

  • One heir carries the line to the next letter.
  • Every child of a generation shares that generation's letter.
  • Reach Z to win.

โœจ Specific rules

  • Generation 1's children's names start with A, Generation 2's with B, and so on.
  • Naming out of sequence is a fail.
  • The heir each generation is one of that letter's children.

โœ… What you can do

  • Theme each generation to its letter if you like (A = astronaut, B = baker, and so on).
  • Use any traits and careers.

โ›” What you can't do

  • Each heir's first name must start with the next letter, A through Z, in order.
  • No skipping letters.
  • No money cheats (purist version).

Fully base-game โ€” the 26-generation achievement is awarded in the base game.

๐Ÿ’ก Strategy tips

  • Keep a baby-name list per letter ready, so you're never stuck at the naming screen.
  • It's a long run (potentially 26 generations) โ€” play at a comfortable pace and treat each letter as a mini-chapter.
  • Larger broods per generation give you more heir options without breaking the letter rule.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Want it harder?

  • Each child's **full name** (first and last) must fit the letter, and traits must be themed to it too.
  • No skipping difficult letters (yes, even Q, X and Z).

๐ŸŽญ Variations

Do it in reverse (Z to A), or theme each letter's generation (A for artists, B for bakers...). ---
