baseline rules for every gen:
Playing on normal with minimal cheating for you to have fun is recommended
You do not declare an heir until they have gotten to level 6 gemology. If you have a fave child; start grinding as soon as you can.
Any time your sim is pregnant; make a bracelet for the unborn child to eventually receive. Once your heir is level 6; have them make themselves a necklace in the same style as their bracelet.
