The rules
- Play twelve generations, each heir standing for one sign, in the order given (Aquarius first, Capricorn last).
- Each heir has set traits, an aspiration, a career and a list of goals.
- Missing any goal of a generation, or not having an heir, means you lose.
- Pick the heir any way you like; the creator points to Pinstar's heir rules.
- Some goals ask for twins; the creator allows a cheat for that.
- Each heir may choose to go to work or do the at-home career tasks.
- The family may move house between generations, except Gemini must live in a Needs TLC apartment.

Tips
- Gemini and Taurus both need twins; the creator allows the pregnancy.force_offspring_count cheat for this, so you do not need to keep trying.
- Plan Cancer's toddler goals early: Imagination and Communication level 5 must be reached before the heir ages to a child.
- Child Sims cannot take adult traits like Foodie, so pick a child trait that leads toward it (a commenter used Glutton) and add the real trait at teen or young adult.
