 About From the Hart: A Differences in the Family Tree Story

Hello and welcome to From the Hart! This story follows the Differences in the Family Tree challenge rules, which you can read about here. Basically the gist is that each generation focuses on a different aspect of the game and thus differences between the generations are born.

I decided to put my own twist on the story by having it be decades-themed, starting with the 1920s. That means by the time the 15th generation heir is born we'll actually be in the future! To go along with the theme the story will reflect some of the themes and attitudes of each decade, and I'll be using period-appropriate names, hairstyles, clothes, furniture, etc. as much as possible. 

The story will start out as a strict patriarchy with the oldest son being named heir. However, starting in the 70s decade this will change to becoming equality with any child having equal chance of being the heir. This reflects real-life changes in attitudes toward women and women's rights. :) 

Finally, this story will somewhat be plotted but mostly based on what my sims do in game. I plan on writing from the heir's point-of-view most of the time but may switch to other sims' perspectives occasionally too. 

So there you have it! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the story!
