As a "sim parent" (sim maker) we shouldn't have favorites - but we do. Post your favorite sim baby (the golden child) and least fav. Pass it on!
Thank you for the ask Pru 💜! Beware though, this is a loooong post! 😅
Yes, Priscilla's my number one child but I don't consider her as a sim. She's an OC from a different story. Let's just say I used TS4 as a visualizer for her and the others (Tony and Albert).
Anywho, if we put Priscilla aside, my golden child in the sims is her:
Lady Lana Beau! Before starting the Davis Legacy Universe, she had existed already, and was named literally after myself when I was exploring the vampire life state in TS4. I almost almost made her into a super-sim because of that.
Currently, she is one of the heads of House Beau-Asvang, derived from an ancient vampire noble house (combination of House Beau and Clan Asvang). Its members consists only of her, her older sister, Lady Lenora Beau, her cousin, her fellow head of house, Valentina Asvang, and Valentina's clan descendant, Percival Asvang. She, along with her cousin, had only recently reawakened in the modern world. Originally, she planned to revive their house, and probably dominate all of simkind. To do that, she had to reawaken her older sister who had a failed human transformation, and was forced to hibernate to heal, retaining her vampiric self. To reawaken her sister, she planned to use Valentina's descendant, Percival, as the key ingredient for the reawakening.
Obviously, that didn't work, because a certain Overlord thought of something else that doesn't involve a sacrifice, which gave Valentina relief. I'm sure she's disappointed, because Lenora was revived, but she was "incomplete". Lenora will have to heal naturally, and it would be long, and on top of that, Lana's not sure if her sister will return to her normal self, like how she was before their hibernation.
She continues to seek how to fully revive her vampiric house, no matter the cost. Why? I have no idea either.
This is her before the makeover (and before I discovered CCs):
Very different, no? Only one thing remained: her color is violet. Because that's my favorite color!
Now, on to my least favorite:
Percival Asvang. A descendant of the Asvangs through Valentina's youngest brother, Rufus, so not as ancient as the others. You see, I don't hate him, but his creation, and the lore that followed that, was kind of abrupt. Side: Swanson & Harper went deeper the more I write about it, and luckily that side story will now conclude (not done with shooting though lmaooo).
He's my least favorite because story-wise, I think his lore is weak. I have to make it up for myself how to write him, in the other segment that I'll write.
Anyways, some background: he was the key ingredient for Lenora's revival. You see, Clan Asvang served House Beau. Thana forced her family to clung to the Beaus, seeking to raise their power and influence by doing so. To do that, however, you need to also have literal strength in your vampiric power. In their case, their bloodline was weak, and so they were treated only as the Beau's servants. Not until Valentina evolved through Lana's rigorous "training" (don't ask me what that is, all I know is that it was the reason Val despise her).
Anyways, this earned everyone's respect for Valentina, but not the whole family. Fast forward to modern times, Percival is an example that their bloodline is evolving. They're not weak anymore.
He was among the vampire attackers that attacked two prominent families. One of the family contracted him and his sisters to eliminate the Swansons. They did, except the sisters spared two (Elizabeth and Sid). When asked to provide proof, especially the proof of Sid's death, they couldn't present anything. They hurt his sisters, which resulted him killing the family on a rampage. His sisters told him to flee, and he did. What they didn't know that the contract was sealed with magic. He would hear whispers to finish the job, which then leads to the story of Side: Swanson & Harper.
Currently, he lives under House Beau-Asvang. Thankfully, the Overlord casted a charm that helps him calm down temporarily. He's not entirely sure what to do now, but he's going to follow Valentina.
