๐ 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.
๐ The goal
Run the bloodline until you've named children **A through Z in order** across the generations.

SimsOne founder (Gen 1 = letter A)
๐ Getting started
- Create a founder whose children will all have **A** names. Each subsequent generation moves one letter down the alphabet.
๐ 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.
โจ 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.
โ 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).

๐ก 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.

๐ฅ 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).
๐ญ Variations
Do it in reverse (Z to A), or theme each letter's generation (A for artists, B for bakers...). ---
