Heir Dilemma «1234...Next Go

Mikezumi

There's a couple typos in the last option but once a poll has been made the questions can't be changed It should read "Both and play an overstuffed household"

I should have stopped when my sims had a girl and a boy but they both insisted on another child and I got another son. Now I have a dilemma on my hands. Anyone who knows me, would know that the girl doesn't even get a look in

The boys both have personalities that are agreeable to me since I never play "bad" traits so I won't bother listing their traits. Both have beautiful future husbands lined up for them as well because I knew I wouldn't be able to decide and didn't want to hook one of them up with a girl, thus making him ineligible.

Based on looks, who would you suggest as heir? Fife (left) is older than Euan by 4 sim days. Euan just aged up so I haven't had much of a chance to see what he is like to play as a teen but I don't have a lot of time since my lifespan is just over 50 days.

I actually really like the both idea!! Or......can the whole save and play with....who do you think I would suggest?

Mikezumi

I just realized I had to vote to see to responses. I have no clue yet, so I chose both just because

@Charlottesom I thought you would choose Euan
I've done the save as in the past when I couldn't decide on an heir but it was hard work since it takes so long for me to play a sim day. (2-3 hours)

@Mikezumi , I’m leaning towards Euan but like you said Fife has a more edgy type look to him. I really just live for the day I see Finnian strolling in the background with his 15 kids. *sigh*

@CravenLestat I know why you picked Euan, my ginger friend but if had of included Elspet, I know you would have definitely picked her

Mikezumi

@Charlottesmom Finnian is descended from Jordan so he can't make an appearance in this save!

Euan (ginger)

@mikezumi At first thought the topic said hair dilemma,and came prepared with pictures




But of course chose a ginger because fun facts time

The place on earth with the most redheads is Scotland at 13% of the population

Most redheads are left handed

Redheads cannot get grey hair when aging

Redheads have less hair than any other person

The rarest combo in the world is a blue eyed redhead,true fact only one percent of redheads have blue eyes and only 1.7 percent of the worlds population has red hair.So you are more likely to get struck by lightning than to meet a blue eyed redhead in real life.

@Mikezumi , Arrggh! I shall wait patiently....

Yup Jordan and Cliff were his daddies, they made some awesome kiddos.

@CravenLestat This is why I chose a Scottish naming theme for this save

Euan because I can tell he has good genetics to pass on. I wonder what he looks like as a female. Playing overstuffed households can be fun. I don't know about you, but it can get too stressful for a control freak like me. My current household is a little stuffed (12 sims).

omg she's beautiful! Do you use custom sliders? I'm sure you've mentioned it here on the forums somewhere.

@SimplyJen Thank you Both the boys look good as females (all my sims get the gender-switch test ). The house probably wouldn't be too overstuffed because I am trying to limit myself to two kids since the lifespan is so short but of course I have been failing dismally so far and allowed both generations to have 3 kids
Elspet would have female-only sliders but that was only to ensure that her nose wasn't too small. I don't like large noses on my males and the corresponding female nose is barely a nub without the sliders.

My vote is for all three (sorry, I don't care about your M/F rules just for the moment, so there!) and the family will be "ruled" by triumvirate. That doesn't have to be permanent, one or two of the heirs and their partners/offspring can peel off and form their own household later on if gameplay goes in that direction.

Well, your sims are always very good looking no matter who you choose. Do you like playing with such a short lifespan?

If I was in the market for a female sim I might ask you for her but I understand people not wanting to share sims.

Mikezumi

@igazor I can't play Elspet or she might meet an early demise. If I could make her a mute I could probably just tolerate her but then something else would annoy me and she would have to die. I do, however, like the idea of playing the two boys for a while and peeling off one of the families later!

@SimplyJen I am terrible at sharing my sims but I will upload her simfile later and PM you a link
The short life span has been super fun. I played normal most of my simming life but changed to a modified long span just over a year ago. That was fun too but too long for me to see many generations. The only drawback of the short lifespan is that I spend over an hour each game session making over sims in town because birthdays come thick and fast!

Mikezumi

Both and play and overstuff household

@SimplyJen It just occurred to me that you will have to wait until tomorrow. I forgot to save her to the bin when she aged up yesterday and I won't be playing again until tomorrow.

Ah well, you know what they say. "Heir today, gone tomorrow!"

SimplyJen

Euan (ginger)

@Mikezumi Agreed, long is a little too long. Normal/Short feels just right and you don't have to worry about getting too bored with the save.

Oh thank you so much! I do want to let you know that she won't be added to my game for probably another month if I get to play again anytime soon. Elspet would be joining the 7th generation and I'm about to start the 6th generation. I blog about my sims on tumblr. I would let you know what she's up to through PM as well. Are you opposed to supernaturals?

Mikezumi

Both and play and overstuff household

@SimplyJen I have no problem with anything you do with her and would love to see what she gets up to


The boys' dads are in the front row. Beathan (ginger) is the son of John and Jordan in the back row.

Fife (black hair)

@Mikezumi Well, I almost voted Both too, but I thought Fife needed a solo mention! Besides, I'm partial to dark-haired men as you can probably tell by all my dark male sims.

Mikezumi

Both and play and overstuff household

@lanlyn I also love dark haired sims but I also have a huge soft spot for gingers. Thanks for voting

Buffyspiker

Euan (ginger)

Definitely Euan! But of course I'm a sucker for redheads.

Mikezumi

Both and play and overstuff household

@Buffyspiker I remember that! Can't wait until you can play again because your sims are to die for

imdragonit

Fife (black hair)

normally I would go with Euan cause I love your gingers & he's hot! but Fife makes me wanna join the band!

Mikezumi

Both and play and overstuff household

@imdragonit Thank you Of course, the real test is how they will look as YA. Fortunately, I had sneaked a peek when they were toddlers and know both turn out well

Pary

Euan (ginger)

I voted for Euan, because there is just something about his face that I really love.

Elspet is gorgeous

Mikezumi

@Pary Thanks Looks like Euan is the favourite so far!
