Which of Vlad's grandkids for heir?

MaggieMarley

Hey everyone. I need help choosing the gen 3 heir for my legacy (all are Vlad's gradkids).

I posted the poll itself in the challenges section (should probably have posted it here instead)

I would really appreciate it if you could take a look at the poll and and vote!

Yes, I did post another poll with all of the gen 3 kids in it, but I've now excluded the firstborn (Clemmie) because she is not the biological child of the winner of the second gen bachelorette. I've come to think that, since it is a legacy-bachelor challenge and in a legacy-bachelor challenge, it should be a rule that the heir has to be related to the winner of the bachelor/bachelorette as well as to the heir/ess. But Clemmie's father is not the winner of the previous heiress' bachelorette. I think it would go against the spirit of the legacy-bachelor challenge for Clemmie to be the gen 3 heiress.


1. Acacia Straud:



Traits: goofball, paranoid, romantic

Aspiration: Has already completed the joke star aspiration and is currently working on the master chef aspiration.

2. Oleander (Oly) Straud:



Traits: geek, genius, cat lover.

Aspiration: Has already completed the mansion baron and serial romantic aspirations. Currently working on the computer whiz aspiration.

3. Rowan Straud:



Traits: dog lover, jealous, genius.

Aspiration: Has already completed the Strangerville mystery aspiration and isn't currently working on any aspiration but if he wins obviously I will pick another aspiration for him.

There's something about Oleander's face that makes me choose him. He's got that ever so slightly creepy eye look that says he's been up all night doing something weird, lol.

MaggieMarley

@LiELF he has Vlad's eye shape! His mother (Vlad's daughter) inherited that eyeshape from Vlad, but Oly is the only one of the 3rd gen kids to inherit it! His father has purple eyes and sometimes sims with purple eyes have kids with red eyes, hence the colour. The colour and shape combine well haha.

musteni

My red eyed sim also had a child with purple eyes!

I too pick Oleander. There's just something about him.

MaggieMarley

@musteni yes red eyed sims can also have kids with purple eyes! I'm only counting votes made on the poll directly (sorry I know I should have posted the poll itself here), so would you mind casting your vote in the poll?
Thank you so much, I really appreciate you taking the time!

CelSims

I voted for Olly because he has his grandads eyes and it's nice to see unusual features passed on.

LiELF

Computer Whiz, Geek, Genius and Cat Lover....

Oly is totally stealing neighborhood cats and doing shady experiments. He should have a Frankencat, lol.

I adore him.

LiELF

Double post from the forum Goblins.

MaggieMarley

@CelSims thank you for voting! Yes he is the only one to get Vlad's eyes which was surprising to me.

MaggieMarley

@LiELF aww thank you! I love Oly too but then I love all the kids this generation so I'm happy whoever wins if Oly wins he will get a cat for sure! And if Rowan wins he'll have a dog

Wow, all of these grandkids are stunning! You're sure their grandpa is Vlad?

MaggieMarley

@PlayerSinger2010 thank you! Yes their grandad is Vlad. The second gen heiress ended up being pretty much a clone of her mother except with Vlad's skin colour, hair colour and eyes (she was the most beautiful Vlad kid I have EVER had - and that is saying something seeing as I completed the 100 baby challenge with Vlad as my 'matriarch'). The other second gen kids inherited rather more of Vlad's genes though lol.

MaggieMarley

@PlayerSinger2010 these were the gen 2 kids (Galatea ended up being the second gen heir so is the mother of the gen 3 kids)

1. Scylla Straud:



2. Circe Straud:



3. Galatea Straud:



4. Atlas Straud:



5. Epimetheus Straud:

Wow, for a Vlad child, Galatea is stunning! Her mom must have had really strong genes!

@PlayerSinger2010 this was her Mum - she was really stunning! Queenarella submitted her

So far, Clemmie has been winning the heir poll. However, I have been wondering whether I should have included her in the poll at all, since it is a legacy-bachelor challenge and in a legacy-BACHELOR challenge, it should be a rule that the heir has to be related to the winner of the bachelor/bachelorette as well as to the heir/ess. But Clemmie's father is not the winner of the previous heiress' bachelorette - he was her boyfriend who she broke up with before the bachelorette challenge started. I kind of feel like if Clemmie becomes the heiress of gen 3, it would be unfair on the creator of the winner of gen 2's bachelor challenge.

So here's a link to a poll which only includes bio children of the gen 2 heiress and winner of the gen 2 bachelorette (and therefore excludes Clemmie). I would appreciate it if you could also vote on that poll while I try to decide whether it would go against the spirit of the legacy-bachelor challenge for Clemmie to be the gen 3 heiress:

Ok, so I think I’ve made my decision. The more I think about it, the more unfair it seem to have Clemmie as heiress, given what the legacy-bachelor challenge is. So, I think I’m going to have to say that only Adonis’ kids count for the heir poll and go with the results of the second heir poll, whatever those end up being. So, if you voted on the first heir poll but not on the second poll that I posted, I would really appreciate you voting on the second poll too. Sorry for switching around!

LiELF

Aw man. What does everyone have against Oly?

We're talking Vlad's spawn here, not the Brady Bunch. C'mon people, Oly is clearly The One. (Lol, I'm all invested in this now.) But that's okay. I can see what's going to happen. Oly will gather his Zombie Cat Horde and take over the heir's domain. Haha! Ha! That's right, then He will be the Master and his siblings will fall into Oblivion as Cat Chow!

All glory to Oly!!

MaggieMarley

@LiELF I love how invested you are in Oly I love him too (though obviously I also love Acacia and Rowan). Maybe if Oly loses I will move him out with an army of cats to help him stage his takeover

Thrior

I too have to say Oleander. He just has this really interesting look, thanks to inheriting Vlad's eyeshape.

MaggieMarley

@Thrior I like that Oly got Vlad's eyeshape too! It's a pretty recognisable Vlad feature
