Who should my heir date? <3

takenbysheeptakenbysheep Posts: 343 Member
I'm having trouble figuring out which of the sims in my heir's friend group he should date!! I love all of them. And polls are fun so I'm hoping you'll help me out. I'm thinking of having him wait on marriage until he has an established career, so this isn't necessarily gonna be the mother of our next heir. Keep in mind that it's currently 1957 in my game, so the options are kinda limited.
First off, here's my heir. His name is Arden Eaman, his traits are gloomy and music lover, and he's working towards becoming a musical genius.

Option one!! This is Nancy Fairbrooke. Her traits are clumsy and squeamish, and her aspiration is to be a bestselling author. This is kinda nice cause Arden's mom is a bestselling author, so at least she'd have some talking points with the family! Not too much of an interesting sim, but I think she'd make for a good high school sweetheart.

Option 2: Betty Dowling. She's stunning imo. Her traits are outgoing and self assured, and she has the soulmate aspiration. I love her!! I definitely think that I'm going to keep her close to Arden, even if they never become romantically involved. Her personality definitely challenges the 50s' image of what a young woman should be- I think it could make for some interesting storytelling.

Option 3 is Lorilie Gibson. She has a bit of a unique look, and I love it. Traits: music lover and neat, aspiration being renaissance sim. She's got a trait in common with Arden, which is cool, and that neat trait always comes in handy.

ANYway. I guess I could choose on my own, but I love participating in polls myself so I thought why not? Thanks for any and all input!! You guys are awesome.

    They are all so pretty, but Betty sounds the most fun to me and like someone that can inspire Arden. :)

    Betty is strong and beautiful. But for interesting story telling you could probably have him date Nancy first - I agree she seems the high school sweet heart type and then learn to appreciate and love Betty. Squeamish sims get annoying quickly. I adore Lorilie's look too.

    I agree! Nancy lives next to Arden, too, so she's got that girl-next-door thing going for her too. Thanks!

    I really love all of them, but I chose Nancy because there's something quintessentially 50s (to me, who never experienced the 50s) about marrying your high school sweetheart. I think it'd be so adorable. Both sets of my grandparents were like that -- one set knew each other through school and dated afterwards, and one set were actually rival schools but met at work. :)

    They are all so wonderful! Your sims are beautiful and full of life. :smiley:

    Lorilie Gibson is totally giving me Betty Rizzo vibes from Grease (wrong hair & eye color of course). Other then that, I think her traits are a good match.

    Are you sure? :/ I don't see it under the Dine Out tag... Could be an altered CC hair that requires Dine Out.

    Nancy's look really compliments Arden's, which means they'll have good-looking kids. I also think that authors and musicians work well together, especially if the book is made into a movie. Then the musician can make the music for the movie! Anyways, I also think that a gloomy Sim needs a soulmate that adds some happiness to his/her life (I feel like her 3rd trait would be cheerful).

    Also, did anybody else notice that Nancy had 25%, Betty had 50%, Lorile had 22%, but then None had 2%? That only adds up to 99%.
    (Don't mind me, I'm OCD and this bothers me a LOT)

    I like both Lorilie and Betty best. Lorilee because she too is a music lover and Betty because is outgoing and self-assured which could rub off on Arden. Can you have him marry more than one woman and cheat in the player trait for him?

    Nancy is stunning, she just styles over the rest. And even if she's not too interesting now, it doesn't mean she can't get more interesting over time, as you spend more time with her and see her in new situations.

    Is she on the Gallery, by any chance? If you won't pick her, I just might.

    Actually, Betty's hair is from Bowling Stuff. Nancy's hair is from Dine Out though.

    I'm so glad someone caught that lmao!!.... I actually downloaded Lorilie from the gallery and she was originally in a household of grease characters :p so technically she is Betty Rizzo!! I just tweaked her a little so she wasn't a carbon copy ;)

    Alright... Sorry to bring this up again. :sweat_smile: I really like that hairstyle Betty is wearing too. Now I'm thinking it's an altered Bowling Stuff hair? I'll try to track it down on my own if I can unless you can find the link for it. o:)

    I really like Lorilie. She seems like a really nice match for your sim.

    For me it was difficult to choose between Betty and Lorilie. I really like both of these ladies; both their looks and trait/aspiration combination but as I see that Betty is winning I am choosing Lorilie as I am a sucker for the underdog :innocent: But to be honest. I find it difficult to choose between those two.

    I like Nancy's look, but Betty's personality is a good complement to Arden's

    She has the least in common with him but I think her personality compliments his. I also find her the most interesting.

    I chose Betty, mainly because I feel like her outgoing and self assured personality would really compliment his. I immediately got a cute little picture in my head of Arden being gloomy and possibly insecure about his music, and Betty coming along beside him and being his number one fan, keeping him working towards his goals even when he feels they aren't possible. I just feel like it would be super cute story-wise.
