::::::: As a side note, I don't know when the SimsWiki has become so formalized in editing. I remember back in the olden days, the Talk pages were places to share player stories. Now, it's for discussing the article. Back in the olden days, I could just edit the Wiki with my knowledge of the game, and that's it. Now, I need to seek approval from the community for every single controversial or substantial edit?

::::::::<small>The system here is "[[wikipedia:Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle|BOLD, revert, discuss]]", so yes, you can make edits without seeking approval first, but if someone reverts it, then you should discuss.

:::::::::My edit was reverted, because a "proper consensus" must be reached. I wish I had contributed to this page earlier. Then, my edit would just be grandfathered in and accepted. But nope, we have to accept this older one. Everyone else assumes that the eldest inherits, even though there is no evidence in the game data to suggest that the eldest inherit. And yet, we accept this one over my conjecture - that Juliette is the one who inherits. [[Special:Contributions/50.4.236.254|50.4.236.254]] ([[User talk:50.4.236.254|talk]]) 03:14, July 2, 2017 (UTC)
::::::::::I think the whole reason why 'the eldest inherits it all' was assumed is because the Sims are based on Shakespeare characters, and back in those days it worked like that, the oldest one got it all, unless they died or f'ed up for another reason. But please correct me if I'm wrong cause I'm no specialist. I understand that a inheritance doesn't per se means it has to go to one person these days, but in those days it was very likely.

:::::::::::It was actual law. In Europe, succession was defined by all possessions being inherited by the eldest son of the deceased individual (or closest relative alive by age). And since both the Capp and the Summerdream families are canonically (or by lore) governed by the principles of matrilineal succession, then Goneril is the proper heir to the Capp family. Juliette is at the bottom of the succession line (if we're excluding the male Capps). -[[User:Anselmo499|DarthImperius]] ([[User talk:Anselmo499|talk]]) 13:55, July 2, 2017 (UTC)
