I was team Tessa. Now I'm team can't make up my mind.
I'm glad that both girls are drawing positive attention.  I really enjoy both for entirely different reasons.  For me, it's definitely an "apples to oranges" comparison with this duo.

What better way could a Sim possibly celebrate her adult birthday than to take her twin teen daughters to China to work on completing her lifetime wish?



Pippin:  And they instantly launch into a Charlie's Angel-esque moment.



Mal:  Look, Pippin!  I'm improving my Visa status!



Pippin:  Umm, I don't think that's how Visa status works...
Mal:  Well, then should I join Tessa in the catacombs?



Pippin:  Well, she's actually already done in the catacombs.  Maybe Jessie is on task.



Jessie:  Well, could you maybe just text me the measurements for the living room then?  What?  Oh, of course I called because I miss you.
Pippin:  Ah, she's househunting again.



Pippin:  And Mal continues to be distracted.
Mal:  Hey, small child, maybe you could be my new twin?!?!?



Pippin:  And Tessa is fishing.
Tessa:  I will catch you, magical mergnomes!!
Pippin:  I wonder if Jessie is still househunting.



Pippin:  Wait...what is going on here?
Jessie:  If mom's going to build me a vacation home, she needs that level three Visa.



Jessie:  Hmm, why does this dive pool lead to the waiting room of a doctor's office?



Pippin:  Umm, Mal?  What are you doing?
Mal:  Driving!
Pippin:  No, I mean, where did you get this car?
Mal:  I found it!
Pippin:  Umm...you never bought this car, it wasn't a celebrity gift as you have no celebrity star power, it wasn't a gift, you're not a kleptomaniac...
Mal:  Purple!
Pippin:  What?
Mal:  I thought we were just saying random things.



Tessa:  Wait, so you're telling me none of these pieces are midget gnomes?  Then what's the point of this game?
And with Mal hanging a miniscule percentage away from completing her level three Visa, their vacation ended and they returned home.



Mal:  Garbage garbage garbage.
Pippin:  What are you doing?
Mal:  I learned how to trash talk!
Pippin:  (sigh)



Tessa:  My kingdom continues to grow!
Pippin:  Yes, it does indeed.  In fact, while exploring a tunnel she dug into, Tessa discovered an underground village of gnomes.  They were hard to understand, but she was pretty sure they were either going to make her their queen...or eat her.  Meantime, Jessie was popping interesting wishes.



Pippin:  Yep.  She wanted to kiss both of them.
Jessie:  They are rather lovely houses.
Pippin:  Yes, but I prefer the genes from Bianca Crumplebottom's son.



Jessie:  Ah, the boy with the adequate house.  He's good at playing hard to want.
Pippin:  I think you mean "hard to get."
Jessie:  No, I think I had it right.



Pippin:  And we're getting to the point that Mal needs to sit the girls down and have "the talk" with them.
Mal:  Girls, you'll have to build your own houses soon.  Make them out of bricks.  Wolves are allergic to bricks.  And avoid spindles.  Whatever those are.
Pippin:  I'm not sure Mal really knows what she's supposed to tell them.
Jessie:  You're telling us out lifetime wishes and opening the voting?
Pippin:  Yes, Jessie.  Thank you for being on the same page as the rest of us.
Tessa:  Whoa!  Magic gnome from the sky talking to us!  Jergnome told me there was a magic sky gnome.
Pippin:  Okay, maybe not the same page as all the rest of us.  We'll begin with you, Tessa.



Tessa:  See?  The magic sky gnome is right here, in our house!
Jessie:  Yes, dear.  Of course he is.
Pippin:  Tessa will be continuing her overseas exploration as she ended up getting the private museum lifetime wish.



Jessie:  Please tell me I didn't get something lame?
Pippin:  No, Jessie, you got the grand explorer lifetime wish.  You'll need to move to Isla Paradiso and discover all the islands if you win the voting.
Jessie:  Wait, you're undermining all my househunting?  And what do you mean if?  How about when I win?
Pippin:  Umm...well...I guess we'll see.  So, we have the gnome-crazed Tessa staying in Moonlight Falls, but traveling extensively, or the self-confident Jessie taking the legacy to Isla Paradiso to go island hopping.  Who is your favorite?

In the end, this is much harder than I thought. I love them both personality-wise, and the LTWs sound intriguing. I've made my decision, but I hope that the one I didn't pick is treated kindly by story progression, assuming she moves out.

I chose the twin that I liked more personality-wise; granted, both of them are unique and I love them both, but one of them I really like as a Sim. :) Hopefully the other ends up okay by herself...

I agree that this is a tough call. Both of the girls are a lot of fun, so I'm sure either way it'll be an interesting read.

Honestly, this one for me was a tossup, so I ended up going with the lifetime wish I thought would be the most interesting. :) I'll be happy with whomever.

I've actually gotten in more time with Mal and the twins than any previous heir as time stops when they travel, so the girls have been teens for about twice as long as they're supposed to be.  Of course, having them along to actually complete tasks for her has really sped up Mal's progress  ;=)
Alright, on to the comments...

In the end, this is much harder than I thought. I love them both personality-wise, and the LTWs sound intriguing. I've made my decision, but I hope that the one I didn't pick is treated kindly by story progression, assuming she moves out. 
I have never had either of these LTW's before, so both are rather intriguing from that perspective.  I'm glad they're both likeable enough gals that the decision is hard.  Thanks for that feedback.

I chose the twin that I liked more personality-wise; granted, both of them are unique and I love them both, but one of them I really like as a Sim. :) Hopefully the other ends up okay by herself...
I tend to be very driven by personality as well.  Of course, these two have such different personalities that it's hard to compare them.  I'm sure they'll both be just fine.  Story progression has been kind to the family thus far, for the most part, anyway.

I agree that this is a tough call. Both of the girls are a lot of fun, so I'm sure either way it'll be an interesting read.
Thanks!  I certainly think it's a win-win prospect.

Honestly, this one for me was a tossup, so I ended up going with the lifetime wish I thought would be the most interesting. :) I'll be happy with whomever.
I was worried that one of them would end up with a super-lame LTW and the voting would be massively skewed by it, but these both seem really intriguing.  Of course, Mal still needs to finish that China Visa before we can really move on.

One for the Tess! the finally not looking like Susan's face  8)
Well, I think Susan's rather lovely.  I will agree, though, that Tess has very lovely features as well.  Of course, Cody's genes would be present in either girl.

Of course, of course. I agree. Susan is not bad looking at all, but having about 3 generation with same features (or at least nose. LOL. I am too observant), I think it would be quite nice to see more combination.  ;D

Haha, okay, so you're anti-nose.  Well, Tessa definitely has a different nose. 
This has been the closest the voting has been thus far in the legacy, and I'm really excited for Saturday when I get to announce a winner.  Still no honest clue who it will be!

Jessie. I just read this whole legacy, it took forever, and I love Island Paradise. Goooooooo Jess! You should play with the Islo Paradiso townies. They are intertwined a lot more than Sunset Valley or any other neighborhoods.

Well when I posted my vote it was 9:8 in Tessa's favour!!! Please let it stay that way because the eccentrically strange and gorgeous Tess is the best! Although Jessie's LTW would be awesome to read!

P.s This is the first PT/Pippin story I've read and I just have to say: "Dude! You're brilliant!"
because... Math *Pippin The Most Tenacious Simmer*

Like I said: "brilliant"... and I just finished reading what you have on Babs and I have to say I'm impressed! I have the writing talent of a goldfish but I love reading and when the reading is as good as your writing... Wait... Did that make sense because it totally does in my head?!?

Yes.  Makes perfect sense, and I'm very honored by the compliment  (insert blushing face here)
