I'm thinking of starting my story around April 1st. What about you?
Sorry, I just saw this . . . and I just posted a BDD chapter that ended with my Gen 6 heir pregnant . . . so still have Gen 7 and then 8 to go. I'd love to start around the beginning of May . . . but it could be more like mid-May.
But I've been planning my Ten Gen Jumble, as I'm calling it. I have chosen my ten generations from 10 different legacies/challenges and determined the order. Most are specific generation requirements from different legacies, but two are from legacies with different methods of randomization, and two are shorter stand-alone challenges. I have my Founder choices down to 2, and I'll be starting in a custom save file, so mostly new venues, new houses, new Sims. I'm really excited about that.
Oh, I'm also choosing the mods I want to play with - I've never really played with mods other than very short stints with a few convenience ones (like to keep kids from throwing paint around 6 times a day) and one short stint with MCCC to check on the number of babies throughout the pregnancy to understand how the fertility massage and other multiple-birth encouragers work with regard to timing. My play has almost exclusively been challenges and dynasties (most of which are unfinished) from this forum for several years, so, no mods. I'm really looking forward to a ride on the wild side with MCCC and a few others!
But first . . . two more Cordova heirs.
