In the second part of my Legacy Challenge story retelling, I mentioned that the family’s second born, Lady Fara, was best suited to continue the family in its artistically inclined direction, but Lance, the nerdy boyscout, was the first born in the family.

This made me begin to think about the rules surrounding heirs a lot more closely. This is exactly the kind of thing that I would find dynamically interesting. Here you have a house that art and poetry built, designed and furnished by an insane artist (Lady Cheshire, my founder). Her daughter, being a cheerful artistic prodigy, seems perfectly suited to carry the family along the same lines and the house is certainly equipped to help boost Lady Fara’s artistic endeavors, with it having a fully loaded inspiration room already.

But is that a good thing or a bad thing? In past versions of the rules, you were allowed to pick your heir from among all your children to decide who would take over when your main Sim dies. And in that case, I would be picking Lady Fara. But that got me thinking: Maybe being forced to take on Lance as the heir isn’t a bad thing. Sure I *started* out making my house a sanctuary of art and creativity, but being forced out of my comfort zone with a child who looked like he was gearing up to be a science and knowledge Sim. Not to mention, the point structure of the Legacy Challenge encourages a diverse playstyle.

Today’s post is going to be a poll! I want to hear from you, the fans about how you would like me to address this rule in the official Legacy Challenge rules:
