Fourth Generation Heir Vote - Heir chosen. Thanks all :)

Mikezumi

My boys had too many boys in this generation and it is making it difficult for me to decide who should be heir. One of them is a little less to my liking but I thought I would leave him in to see what others thought.

Lou is currently a teen, Leo is currently a child and Joe is a toddler. All have traits I like to play with.

Duvelina

I'm having a hard time choosing since they all look pretty similar, especially Joe and Lou look like they could be twins! Could you include the traits?

Mikezumi

Joe

@Duvelina All my sims get traits that I am happy to play. This is a genetics save and traits are only important insofar as I have to be able to enjoy playing the sims while they have children. From memory, Lou's dominant trait is virtuoso and Joe's is artistic. I can't for the life of me remember what Leo's dominant trait is.

As for Lou and Joe looking like twins, I can see what you mean although they are different. Because of the genetics mod I am using, sims are not inheriting whole features from their parents like they would with EA genetics. There are subtle differences if you look closely. For example Leo's eyes are closer and his nose is shorter and narrower.

@Duvelina I just remembered that Leo Loves the Outdoors with plans to make him an angler on aging up.

Mikezumi ya know I had to do eeny meeny I literally can not judge a dude My true unseen vote is for whoever's genes makes the prettiest sim girls

@CravenLestat Thanks for randomly choosing I am pretty sure they will all produce pretty girls because all the girls in this family have been lovely so far

@CravenLestat This is how their sister, Opal (still a child), will age up.

They're all very good looking, not that anyone here is surprised. Lou seems a little plain, I guess, compared to the best of the offspring your sims produce. He'd be great in most games, just maybe not special relative to his gene pool.

Leo's look is interesting, but there's something about him that makes me think I'd get tired of looking at him eventually. Joe, on the other hand, is adorable, and will be even more so when he's making eyes at whatever boy you pick out for him. There's something about his look that makes it seem like his eyes are about to start twinkling.

Thank you @puzzlezaddict The Random Genetics mod has made me doubly excited whenever a new baby is born and I haven't been disappointed yet

Leo

I'm not entirely certain why but I am drawn to Leo the most (maybe it's partially that howl Loves the Outdoors thing).

Leo

They all got great genetics from what I see but I picked Leo.

I liked Joe's jawline and nose the best.
If he isn't picked, send me his sims file and I'll make him a house in my game.

Thank you all for voting It was interesting to see that Leo got the most votes when he was only thrown in to see what other simmers thought and had no chance at being heir because of his weak jaw. Perhaps his hair colour is part of his "attraction".

@thuggishsplicer Even if Leo is heir you can have him. He's only a toddler but I will try to remember to give his simfile when he is YA. You will probably see me post pics of him then and can remind me

@Mikezumi That would be great, I'll keep an eye out.
Frankly, my theory is that he's different from the others and because of that, he catches people's eye first. Or, maybe, most folks like blonds. The three of them are hunks, anyway. Whomever you pick out will be great.

Mikezumi

Joe

Thanks to all who voted Although Leo got the most votes he was only thrown in to see what others thought about him as stated in my OP (although I didn't name him)
It was a tough decision between Lou and Joe but Joe wins by one vote

Charlottesmom

I know you picked but I love the look of Leo.

Edited to add, yes his hair was a draw but I also personally like the weaker jawline on him, makes him look more sweet and innocent maybe?? The stronger jaw looks good on the other two boys though and Joe is a very very close second.

Mikezumi

Joe

@Charlottesmom Thank you for popping in even if the vote is over Of course, you knew all about it from my texts
I don't mind weaker jaws on some sims but it didn't work for Leo, at least for me. For me, it gave him kind of a goofy look rather than an innocent, softer look. In real life, I guess I like a face that looks a little cheeky (not sure what American equivalent of the word is). This probably describes what I mean - "showing a lack of respect or politeness in a way that is amusing or appealing"

I had my first ever meteor today and it tried to take out my future heir! Joe noticed the sky getting dark and I managed to teleport him and the rest of the family out of the way. A few neighbours (who are distantly related) came to watch and got singed but no-one died fortunately!

My fourth generation boys are all grown up now and I know I chose the right one

Joe (heir)


Lou (runner-up)


Leo (looks much better in game than I thought he would from the CAS sneak peek)
