@puzzlezaddict I think as simmers we all have little stories for our sims going through our heads ;)
I never feel disconnected from my sims no matter how much I accomplish with them and will play them until their death. I do like the idea of playing both for a while so I can make an informed decision down the track. It would also prevent me from giving in to their wishes for extra children as I am likely to do if there is room in the house ;)
Thanks for voting :)
