Just When You Thought You Had it All Sorted Out . . .

Oi! Took me a couple of days to wrap my head around a plot point conundrum. Did a little research and this morning I find myself realizing the problem that just arose. Seems even with permission from the Head of the dynasty, a son can't just marry whom he wishes. She must be part of a dynasty, which means a fraudulent link, or a scandal if they wed without the link. And we all thought Cinderella had problems. Oi!

I am completely beside myself, steaming right along with this new EP, my characters making interesting choices along the way just for me to fly smack dab into a brick wall. (Hey, I have enough of those in my RL family tree!) Whack, that hurts. There may be a slight pause in my updates, as a result.  So much for the push to attend university.  That was trouble enough. With this particular save I am resisting the urge to allow for a greater than eight on the lot cheat, realizing that may have been the root cause of the corruption that ultimately erupted in my last save.

See? She can be taught. 

In the meantime, I can only monitor the students from the main lot. Going back and forth will ultimately make me dizzy.  I contemplated moving the other student in, but I either give up the baby or the horse.  It's those darn horses that trip me up each and every time. We can't control them, so why do they take up a valuable lot slot? Yes, EA I'm complaining!

I do suppose I could just send them all to live at the university and then allow them all to move back in with their respective parents. Or what?

Have any of you run into the 'you can marry her, but there are certain stipulations, first' bit?

Is there a walk-around and just how disrupted can such a scandal be? Is it worth giving it a try?

I await your kind responses. Thank you.
