- Yes, majority of the time I’m playing with descendants with a twist. If my original sims have 4 kids, I will play all 4 sims but when those 4 start having their own kids, I will pick my favorite of the 4 and play that family only and continue on and on and on. I’m about 8 or 9 generations in to my current family.
- It depends on the family. I usually make large, generational families anyway and am thusly attached to all the characters because I purposefully crafted them. In those cases when I split them between households, I micromanage them all.

So like lets say your first generation has two kids. Then those two kids each have three kids. Do you play all of those sims? Or do you just choose one child to continue the legacy and let the others do their own thing?
I play with everybody. I have over 200 played Sims now, and it's been a battle to keep the number as low as it is. - I became super attached to generation four and their children, and while I’ve mainly been focusing on one sim, I’m also invested in her cousin and her kids (who I had move in with her when they were teens). I’m trying to narrow my focus to one sim and recently separated the cousins due to an affair. My “favorite” is still a child, so I’m planning on rotating between the cousins for a bit, then when they’re all situated as adults probably narrow my focus on my favorite and her family... unless the game surprises me and my favorite changes (it has a few times this generation, lol).
- SimAlexandria5 years agoSeasoned AceMy families usually have 9-15 kids each, so no, I can't haha. I pick my fav 3-4 per generation and rotate between them. If I can marry two families kids to each other I can get in an extra ;)
- PhantasmKiss5 years agoSeasoned AceThis is a problem for me. I want to play them all, but I want to only play one household.
Usually this means having a house full of 8 sims and only moving anyone out because I want a kid and there's no room. When I'm forced to move someone out I'm torn between setting them up with a spouse or giving them a kid and OMG NO I WON'T CONSTANTLY BE THERE TO WATCH THEM, and I don't want anyone in my family dying where I can't pick up their gravestone and put it in the family cemetery.
I've started making smaller families just so that I can micromanage easier. You get ONE kid, that kid is the heir no matter if they're weird-looking, and if the heir dies somehow (unlikely, but possible), then whoever's left gets another kid.
It's pretend, so I can be a control freak if I want. o.o - Rey_Estupendo5 years agoSeasoned AceI'll play everyone to a point. Whenever I end up reaching the limit on household size, I'll take one or more of the younger characters and move them out to start over.
- Fluteline245 years agoSeasoned AceI choose 1 to continue the legacy, but I do check in on the others just to see how they're doing. :) MCCC makes that lots of fun.
- texxx785 years agoSeasoned AceI'm playing 4 premade families and 3 of them had 2 kids each while the other had 3 kids. So next generation will have 9 descendents!
I'm still deciding what to do. 9 households it's too much. It will take me forever to rotate anf i think i won't get as attached to each household as i am now. I also like to play 4 households in a 4 weeks seasons, so that way all households play in all seasons.
I'll play a bit more and try to figure out a solution for this.
For now i think that i'll have to decide in which ones i'll follow. If that is what im going to do then i won't choose the oldest but the one i find more interesting... or maybe i'll make some of the descendents live together... - Erja8885 years agoSeasoned AceYes, I play all of the descendants. Or how do you think I ended up with 270 Sims in my game? However, I now have a rule that a Sim has to die or move away (get deleted) until Another Sim can have a baby.
