Legacy Play

There really isn't any right way to play a legacy. I'm currently on the 3rd generation of a legacy i'm doing. Mine is a matriarchy where the oldest female is the heir. If that sim doesn't have a girl then the heir is the next eldest girl in the line and so on. Right now, my current heir Corinne only has a teenage son and is halfway through her adult life stage. Her older brother Conner is having a girl with his wife soon so she may be my next heir if Corinne doesn't have a girl. So you can pretty much play it anyway you want.
