In case you missed it , help me pick the Gen 2 heir !!!!!!

Legacy Update: Gen 2 Heir Vote 💕

Gen 1 is finally done! we made money, made mistakes, and somehow survived toddlerhood without deleting the save. Now it’s time to pick who gets to deal with everything next.

The future of this legacy rests in the tiny hands of two children: Sable and Aria. One of them will lead Gen 2. The other will probably start a garden and develop resentment.

Scroll down, meet the chaos gremlins, and vote in the poll or the replies. No pressure… just the entire fate of the family tree.

This is Aria Virelli This is Sable Virelli

This is Sable, and this is Aria, the two potential heirs of Gen 2! They’re both rocking red today because the next generation’s theme color is red for the legacy I am playtesting.

Here's a little peak to help your decision:

🍅 Gen 2: The Food Hustler — Spicy Red Edition! 🔥

The legacy heats up with Gen 2, where cooking up success means mastering the kitchen and stirring the pot. From winning Finchwick Fair ribbons to running a bustling bakery, Sable and Aria are ready to prove who’s the real culinary queen.

Here’s some of what they need to achieve: 👩‍🍳 Max Cooking & Baking skills 🏆 Multiple Finchwick Fair ribbons in the bag 💰 Over §30k earned from food sales ❤️ Secret affairs and kitchen drama spicing up their story

But only one can carry the torch for the next chapter...

Who gets your vote?

Sable, the perfectionist foodie with a flair for gourmet desserts? 🍰

Aria, the cheerful hustler whose passion fuels the bakery’s success? 🎂

Vote below or in the replies ... who’s carrying the torch into the next chapter of this legacy?

Also! you can find the first 5 Generations for the Self-Made Empire Legacy Challenge on my profile!
