My little legacy family--Algar, the founder, haunted the first time. Zuriel, the heir, was pleased to see him. Opal, his wife, was delighted to see him. He made all the beds--Harlow'd left hers unmade, so had Opal. He cleaned the toilets and baths Zuri hadn't gotten to. He left pregnant Meadow alone, and Harlow (who is neither secondary nor primary knowledge like the two sims he did haunt). Such a nice ghost! I'll see if he keeps it up. Zuri is one of triplet boys, so four first gen kids total, Harlow is much younger, she was born after the boys were teens.

Main House:
Opal's gotten two LTWs--Top Journalism and Earn $100,000, and she has a long stretch of grandmothering time left. She started life as the Nature Hobby sim, so came in with the Gold Gardening badge. She grows a lot of beautiful eggplants and takes care of Algar's apple tree.

Zuri went permaplat around the time he graduated from LTA points. Still hasn't found his LTW job in Oceanography, but is working in Natural Science because Fortune sim, and honestly there isn't anything for him to do once the toilets are cleaned anyway. Opal might have left him one plant to chat with for the day.

Meadow wants six grandkids. That's going to be a while. New baby on the way. We're hoping for a boy, but any baby will be a perfectly wonderful baby.

Baby Abilene, blond haired little girl, just born. Toddler soon. That'll give the grownups something to do. She's got the baby mesh that indicates the elf ears.

Harlow, youngest of the first generation, now in Uni.

Mutt and Abbey, the dogs, puppies on the way.

Spares: Peter and Sophie (nee Miguel) and toddler son Michael rent a townhouse near the family house. Peter and Sophie both work full time--Journalism and Athletics respectively. He's permaplat off of LTA, but topping Journalism is his LTW. She's working on $100,000. Alan is expecting kid #2 thanks to aliens. They are a low drama high power career couple, which is good, because the other triplet is . . . really not. (I forgot a fire alarm in their unit kitchen. Oops.)

Alan rents the townhouse next to Peter, Sophie, and Michael. (Same apartment building. I had to switch his toilet and shower because he couldn't get in the shower. Oops.) He's working on a 20 simultaneous loves, also permaplat off of LTA. He has a secondary of Family. He is the drama vector. He has a child with Marsha Bruenig. He is engaged to (but she's currently furious with him, because he let Marsha flirt with him at Harlow's first toga party) Chloe Gonzoga. He'll get her over it, he has before. (Or not. Unfortunately I screwed up and deleted him last night and exited without saving--silly simmer with teleporter cat. So he did not in fact get demoted because Chloe was angry. He did not get left at the wedding arch even though she'd just woohooed with him. It was all a really horrible nightmare. I'll see if he 'learned' from any of it next time I log on.)

Marsha owns the corner unit on the block. She lives there, working in the slacker career, with a LTW of max 7 skills, with toddler daughter (father is Alan) Alana. It's not that she doesn't love Alan, because she does. He's just a really lousy choice of person to be with. So she enjoys the time she spends with him, but doesn't obsess over him when he's not around. She knows he's not the faithful type--he's the exact opposite of his father, who never even thought of looking at anyone but his mother. And Marsha is absolutely okay with being herself without a spouse.

Harlow has made it to college. Her LTW is five top businesses, which is simply not going to happen: she's not going to get played that much. She landed in the dorm, and promptly called the Greek placeholder, Orlando Bertino, whom she's been best friends with since she first came to her brothers' toga parties. He came over and admitted her immediately. So she lived in the dorms for all of forty-five minutes before she moved to the Greek house. Orlando is another 20 lovers LTW Romance sim. He's up to eleven at the end of his Junior year. Harlow thinks he's hot--does the swoon thing--followed by the disgusted thing at whoever he's seeing that moment. Orlando has slightly smarter tastes than his good friend Alan in women: he has not yet managed to attach himself to anyone who expects faithfulness. Also his professor is a romance sim, so that's cool. (Academic misconduct, much? Yes. But it fits him soooo much. She might get her elder butt fired though.) Orlando has never met a woman he didn't think was beautiful. Harlow threw her first toga party, inviting her friends, her brothers, and their spouses/fiances. Marsha happens to be a friend of hers, even though Marsha's older. Marsha flirted with Alan in front of Chloe AGAIN. She's done this multiple times, every toga party they've both been at, which is all of them because, well, childhood friends. Chloe hates her and they've resorted to fistfights before. This time Harlow stepped in to occupy Marsha while Chloe slapped Alan for a change, instead of Marsha. Then Chloe engaged in a brief affair with Orlando-just for the length of the party. Orlando sees absolutely no moral issues with his best friend's fiance hooking up with him. None whatsoever. In fact, he really seems to not see any moral issues in life anywhere at all! He's promised no one anything, has no commitments-other than keep the Greek House open until Harlow gets there, and she has, and anyone else's commitments are their lookout, not his.


What I've done is aged up the child and teen sims the legacy kids were close with as they've grown up. I haven't figured out a way to move townie teens directly to dormies, so they have to become playable for just a moment along the way, but I move them in and turn them straight into dormies with just a pause to randomize any stuck with Grow Up aspirations (which is how Marsha got knowledge and Chloe got family, but both were already involved with Alan as teens). I feel like they're still fair game for heir's spouses. If I get the feel that anyone is a really close friend, even though I won't play them, I'll have them grow up and stay townies and age and die with their friends. Algar and Opal didn't have anyone that close--both started as adults, though. I think there may be just a couple from the first generations' friends. When I need more child townies I'll spawn them. I found a hack that lets a sim ask their dormie friends to graduate without having to move them in (it lets them ask any friends to grow up, but I only need it for dormie to adult, I can use game mechanics for regular birthdays).

The baby production fever in Tinsel Town is almost over...Lynne Walton had twins...Sam and Rebecca Walton. (I'm tempted to make Sam a fortune sim later and have him own a few stores...)-now on to the Stewart family and it's the last family to have children, for this generation...I hope. 25 and going strong!

I sent Austin Castillo- newly aged to adult and much more attractive than I expected- to the local dive bar to meet some ladies.

There were 10 women on the lot. 4 of them were visibly pregnant. 2 others were in the 1st trimester. Why are all these pregnant women hanging out in a dingy bar on the wrong side of town at 1am? And 2 of the remaining non-pregnant women were a lesbian couple.

Oh, and then this happened:



The guy creeping on Austin at the urinal is married with 2 kids.

Needless to say, Austin did not have a successful outing.

lol. Well....I think the Council has a keen interest in people who criticize it. That said **looks around checking for eavesdroppers**, it doesn't always do things that make a lot of sense **whispers that last part**

An example is the moving of the rich family back to the prison hood. I mean, they forgave the debt so they could have the tax revenue, but they didn't even wait till tax season to move them back. I think I would have just locked the guy up or drug out some kind of show trial, at least until I got the income tax.

Another example, just happened. The Goth kids are all on their own since Bella died in a house fire. They were okay and could pay a marginal amount of taxes.

The Council discovered they were on their own, and in a fit of uncommon kindness, sent them an adult to care for them. Her arrival meant the family no longer had enough money to pay a little tax and instead was considered fiscal wasters. This got them all sent to the prison hood. Time elapsed from entry into playing this family and their expulsion was about 3 minutes.

Elgin — Round 8 — Ferguson

Newly adult Hiolater Ferguson moved out her father’s home upon receiving her trust fund money. She brought a 2-bedroom brick house, some new clothes, and some furniture. A few sim days later, with over $100,000 in household funds, Hiolater purchase the town’s only sports bar. She decided to have the bar open for a few hours that night, just to see how the residents would take to it. Apparently, the residents love the bar because, after midnight, there was a couple that was engaged.

One of the mayor’s children, Brian Nevin visited the bar to see what all the hype was about. After buying a ticket, he ate a piece of candy from the party dispenser. Then he started to feel dizzy. Suddenly, he went over to the bartender (and his best friend) Gaspar Lusk and asked for his hand in marriage. Gaspar happily accepted. Hiolater was too busy to react to the engagement, but I was shocked. So shocked that I had Hiolater close the bar and return home, so I could visit Brian and Gaspar households.

The engagement between Brian and Gaspar is unusual for Elgin because everyone’s sexual preference is straight. It’s just a thing that happens, everyone gets married or have children by the opposite sex. So, Brian and Gaspar are the first gay couple in Elgin’s history. I’m still shocked and unsure what to do with in regards of the engagement. However, in the meantime, I have a feeling that the bar will have more surprise hookups, so I will see if Hiolater can open it again before her round is over.



There's no drama, like Sims drama.

Over in the main Capp household, the heiress (Celia) missed her first day of school, starting her off with a D report card. Not the best. If she doesn't improve, she might lose her influence with the rest of the Capps and be dethroned like Juliette was. Rebeck, her older brother, missed school too but that only dropped his A+ to a B+. Not too much to worry about.

Over in the 'second in command' Capp household, Tybalt invited around all the wealthy children in the neighbourhood to befriend his twin girls. Audrey took that as a way of finding a future husband. She's very much like her father. Ideally, she would like to marry Rebeck Capp (distant enough relation) to keep her side of the family in power, but she's also considered marrying a different wealthy family (She has been socialising with both Eric and John Goth, Eric being the heir) and then using her friendship with Rebeck and his sister Celia to have an arranged marriage with their future children, ensuring her future bloodline to be in charge. Cleopatra (Audrey's twin) on the other hand doesn't care about any of that. She socialised with the Caliente-DeBateau triplets, John Goth and Dudley Cleveland. Tybalt's oldest child, Lucius is considered a 'lost cause' as he fell in love with a girl in the orphanage. He's only a lost cause according to the Capp family in charge though, his mother Lilith (Pleasant) is pleased, and secretly so is Tybalt.

Titania Summerdream became an elder today. They already had a huge almost-game-crashing party last rotation for Oberon's birthday, so this time they only had a small party. She invited over Puck, Bottom and their families and spent most of the time socialising with her 3 grandchildren: Rosaline, Tomara (twins of Puck) and Angelo (Bottom's son).

Benedick is getting a little anxious about living on the Capp side of Veronaville. They live next door to the Summerdream family, and as Bottom bought the house before she married Benedick, they still have the household name 'Summerdream' despite all being Monty's, so nobody has really paid much attention to it yet. Even so, their son Angelo is at the same age Benedick was when his mother was murdered by the Capo's. As such he keeps rolling wants to get another dog (The Monty family breed wolf-dogs as protection) and keeps rolling wants to become a werewolf.

Today is little Elizabeth Capo's first birthday. It was considered scandalous when Hal Capp graduated college and refused Tybalt's offer of money to buy a huge house for his future family. It worked out though, him and his wife Anaïs (Gavigan) live in quite a large house, but it's mostly empty on the inside. Now that Elizabeth is a toddler, they've finally been able to afford a crib for her.

Desdemona gave the biggest middle-finger to the Capps when she graduated and was declared "not Capp material" due to her bad grades (C's! Not that bad! And a 2.5 GPA in college), Fondness for her older sister Miranda (who is no longer allowed to carry the Capp name), and the fact she got pregnant during college with a 'lower class family'. After moving in and having not enough money for anything other than bare necessities, whilst also having a toddler to worry about, she received some money from a genie lamp. Giving her enough to fully furnish her house. She offered some of the money to her brother Hal, he politely declined but is secretly furious she would even offer. Nevertheless, Beau Broke (her daughter's father) moved in slightly later and the family of 3 are very happy together.

Puck and Hermia Summerdream welcomed in their third child, Pyramus. Otherwise a pretty uneventful household to play this rotation. They've just moved into a bigger house in preparation of the birth so I've mostly been decorating. Pyramus had a 50% chance of becoming a Warlock, upon rolling a random number generator (he rolled 37)- he has no magical powers at all. His children will have 18.5% (37 halved) chance of becoming a Warlock (provided he marries a normie).

Ellsworth Legacy:

Spare:
Alan did in fact learn from his week that didn't happen. (Or I did.) He's now duly married to Chloe, who rolled a secondary of pleasure on marriage, so maybe they can keep him to his lawful jealous spouse. Booked a honeymoon . . . he has lovers from Twikki and Three Lakes and so prudently (opportunistically?) opted for Takemizu. At least no one will walk up and kiss him and irritate Chloe on their honeymoon. He hopes. For whatever reason, he couldn't invite his brother and sister-in-law next door to his wedding by phone, so knocked on their door and asked them to come out, but they went straight back in before he could get from their door to the arch. Sigh. Teleport next time. Marsha-his daughter Alana's mother-crashed the wedding but sat and ate chips and gave flame thought-bubbles about Chloe and did not cause a scene. I suspect she's really unimpressed with Alan for getting married and with Chloe for marrying him.

Update from Tinsel Town:
A grievous thing happened to the Stewart family-she had an unexpected miscarriage..and went to back to work. Undeterred by their misfortune, they went back and did it again, and surprisingly enough, she got pregnant again immediately. Not wanting to tempt fate again, I waited until she actually went into a second trimester and showing before closing out the house. This one will be born!

Before my computer died two months ago, Pascal had been abducted once more. And now he finally gave birth to another alien boy! Although, for some reason, Vidcund is even fonder of Uriss than Pascal himself. In fact... in the household's loading screen, Pascal is smiling alone while Vidcund is the one holding Uriss and looking at him lovingly! Oh, and did I mention Vidcund is also pregnant? He threw up right after Uriss was born and then rolled the want to have a baby! I am so giving him Family secondary aspirations next time I play him!

Anyway, despite Vidcund's new outlook on life, I have to say I am very concerned. Pascal has been so... unhappy lately. I mean, it is his fault! If he does not want more alien children, why did he go upstairs and grab the telescope? Has he not learnt from prior mistakes? Hello, the green triplets are down there in your room! Do not complain! I would love to fulfill a few wants, but since his bar is red, he is making a big deal out of his depression! Cheat death? Pascal, I am not going to let you die on purpose so that you brighten up! It may not even work the way you want to! Roll something else! What about Kent Capp and Nervous? They are both head over heels for you, you like them back, and NOTHING? We cannot help you if you do not help yourself first.

Ugh, I am terribly worried. If Pascal goes on like this, I think one day he is going to completely lose his mind altogether like his father; he is going to pull a Glarn Curious and abandon his alien offspring without a second thought. Poor thing... and things.

As for Lazlo, well, he is currently obsessed with his job due to Fortune aspirations... and he is also glitched. The only things he can eat are snacks, pizza and Chinese. Otherwise, he just munchs on for ever, never finishes his food, and the hunger bar never goes up. Hence why he is gradually becoming overweight. He will definitely be hitting the gym soon.

In one reality (Pleasantview), the Newsons are on the street and, in the chaos of an itinerant camp, the girl toddler twin was stolen by a gypsy/genie duo. (It's amazing how easy it is to kidnap a child in the game. Just "join" a family, then "move out" with the kid.) Jennifer Burb is now a caseworker and is going to end up fostering the girl child, I think, because they left her in the camp alone, while the boy child and toddler... who knows? It looks dire.

In another reality (Widespot), the Newsons inherited a farm in Widespot and moved there. It's a struggle, but the toddlers are older now (so four children - I only age them on purpose) and the two teens are trying to make a go of a farming business raising fruits, vegetables, and chickens.

I had taken a break from Sims 2 in the spring, and came back to it with plans for a new neighbourhood. I made some terrains, I built a few lots, and I set up empty templates. My children made a handful of townies and helped me make the families I intended to play. A lot of the sims my family made are very similar (for example, my daughter made at least 5 Capricorns with brown hair, brown eyes, and dressed them in blue). I want more variety. I have been missing some premades, but I was OK with not having them until about a week ago. Then I started wanting a family from one premade 'hood, a bin sim from there, a household from an inhabited 'hood here.... So instead of going into build mode, I've been building while trying to decide what to do. Today I drove past a sign advertising a Sedona housing development, and I suddenly wanted to include that 'hood too.

So today I am starting my new (but mostly unplayed) hood over. I just replaced some of the empty templates with Tarlia's to get bin sims again and the first sub-hood I'll attach will be Sedona. I hope the four unfortunate men living there like their move to a new fantasy-medieval hood populated by a small group of refugees fleeing war and disease.

I finally got Osprey Hawkins grown up! He's Romance, and immediately homed in on Estella Zarubin, with whom he got in several successful flirts and tossed a football. Crane, who is Family, thinks Dirk Spitzig is cute, but instead of pursuing that made best friends with her cousin Geraldine. I let Crane put on makeup, but did not change either's hair. I figure when I get to the Skirt rotation, Dior will invite everyone over for makeovers. Much smustling occurred, and Uncle Harris went around family kissing everyone. Dove talked to her cousins and noogied a few people.

I then went to their cousin Geraldine Mander's birthday party. Which crashed. But the night was young so I got back in. She's a Fortune sim and wants to go on a date with Laus Newson. She spent some time sweet talking him and some time playing chess with Kestrel, her favorite aunt. Her mother Sparrow is pregnant and conked out early, though the phone was ringing off the hook for her. The guests ate, played Don't Wake the Llama, and even played in the water wiggler despite it being very early spring. After the party, Geraldine cleaned up and went out to the Convenient Stores by herself to buy school clothes. She's very impressed with how mature she looks.

Harriet and Ted Ottomas got their son Harry potty-trained, and their daughter Dorothea brought home an A+! Gerry Mander (Geraldine's father and Harriet's brother-in-law; I know, it's a lot of family tree) dropped by and the hugely pregnant Harriet got him to clean the house some. Ted is hoping for a promotion and needed to practice a presentation, but with Harriet's condition opted to weed the garden and make supper instead. Because Ted is like that. Dorothea is afraid that her favorite cousin Geraldine will like Crane better now that they're both teen-agers and wants to grow up fast, but she still has four days of childhood and her father's in no hurry to lose his little girl.

Alas, this is definitely the last Drama Acres rotation - I can't do this anymore. I think it took a total of 8 crashes to get through the Hawkins twins' birthday. Geraldine only crashed once, and the Ottomas house not at all, and I opened several houses to fix them up since pulling out my biggest CC files, and it eventually crashed on one of those. I have multiple ongoing pregnancies, though...Maybe I'll do a farewell tour of the houses with the most stuff hanging fire, get some babies born and find out what they'll look like, before mothballing it forever. I will almost certainly be extracting certain people, perhaps to bring them to Fishers' Island.

On the plus side, this means Kitty Hawkins never dies!

Time to think about that later. I still have more than half this final rotation to do.

Things have been busy on the Emerald Heights crime scene. Fitzwilliam Bonet quit his fish chumming job (he never would have taken it if he'd known what "chumming" meant!), and is now following his heart into a life of crime. As a sign of his commitment, he's adopted a little black kitten and named it Burglar.

Cole Steele had to find a new place to pick pockets, but made a bad choice and got himself arrested, then fired. He was pretty cut up about it, but really it was just his pride that was hurt; his life's ambition is to max out all seven skills, and now he has more time for study. Lianne found a little extra stash of cash while on a bank heist, so Cole's and Magnolia's college fees are taken care of, with money left over for the new baby on the way.

Claire Voyante read about Cole's arrest in the paper and is worried about Magnolia being forced into the crime business as soon as she turns teen, but there's nothing she can do. The orphanage is already filled to overflowing and there are rumours of a homeless girl living in a shack out Strangetown way. Claire really, really needs one of her girls to get a scholarship and move away to college so she can find Kristen before Circe Beaker does.

Don Shikibu (nee Abbas) did the right thing when he found out Cleo was having his baby. He left his home in the Happy Land District and moved to the prison district to marry her. As always, there was a bit of a self interest in this good deed. He didn't have a job; it was only a matter of days until the Council discovered that. However, he moved at a time when the family's lack of survival knowledge was beginning to have the predicted consequence. Dead of winter, no shelter, and no established hunting tends to equal dead sims.

Next thing he knew, Don was standing alone jostling baby Abbas and looking at gravestones. Still hungry, still cold, but all alone and unsupported with an infant. Oh, and a blazing summer was due any second.

He's not stupid. He knew something had to be done. So, he quickly called up a woman whose name and phone number he'd gotten at the bar. Vanessa Chen was as lovely and needy as he remembered. She was thrilled to hear from him and quickly appeared to visit.

He sweet talked her into staying and marrying him. Yeah, it was cynical and self serving, but she was awfully desperate to get married if she was willing to live in the prison prefecture. She has babies on the mind. He has shelter, water, and food.

Before the first day of marriage had passed, they'd cleared a path to the waterfall at the back of the property and begun building a structure. The would need help. Vanessa had a friend, DJ who had gotten in trouble over a daliance with a deputy Council member. He was married. When their romance hit the skids, he began looking for a way to condemn her to extermination. She hopped a freight to live with Don and Vanessa. Meanwhile, Don remembered meeting Grace Blackburn at the Resettlement Center. They had discovered a shirt-tail kinship and a genuine friendship. Grace had become terribly afraid her family would be discovered for what they were, Vincent Moore's side family, hidden from the world.

Grace had remained hidden from birth. In time she and Vincent, who had been a Council-ordered room mate of her family's, had fallen in love. She was quite content to stay in her little apartment in the big house and raise their there three children.

But then came the war, and the resettlement. They didn't stay at the Center long because Vincent is an important man, and he was given a new home quickly. But their stay there did teach Grace a couple of things. She'd always been afraid of the big world, but she learned to talk to people and make friends. She also learned that Vincent would disown her. She knew he was married, of course, and his wife knew about her. They'd shared a home, after all. In the Resettlement Center Vincent told everyone Grace and her kids were his cousins.

This broke her heart as illogical as that might seem. She couldn't get past it. The prison prefecture sounded heavenly to her. She and the kids could run around and be free. She jumped at the chance to live there with her cousin, Don and his family.

Don smiled as the new crowd of people rushed in. More people means more hands for the work that still has to be done. And they brought money. That's always helpful.

Miranda Burgundy (Capp, then Monty, then made up her own last name) just gave birth to her third child, Diana Burgundy. She's now living in a small condo with Diana and doesn't have any contact with her twins (with Mercutio Monty). The father of Diana, Samuel Cordial (child of Kimberly Cordial and Carlos Contender) has only just become an adult and Miranda doesn't really think he's mature enough to handle having a child, so she hasn't told him. Maybe she might in the future though.

Next door to Miranda, another baby was born - Alicia Caliente. Emerald Caliente (daughter of Dina and Ashley Pitts (Nina's boyfriend) but brought up thinking Nina was her mother ) is a biiiiit of a romance Sim and found herself pregnant in her midteens. She freaked out and didn't tell her parents, staying in her room pretending to be sick or just 'busy'. Finally she gave birth to Alicia while her parents were at work. The first Sim to walk past the lot was Tommy Ottomas, who Emerald has woohooed, so her new plan is to convince him that the baby is his and move in with him. (In actual fact, the baby is Chazz Whippler's) Either way, you can't hide a screaming newborn forever and it didn't take long for her parents to come home from work and feed the baby a bottle. They're quite happy with little Alicia and don't mind at all.

And another unexpected pregnancy! Marla Briggs-Pheonix, who already has twin children and twin toddlers is pregnant. Her and Jimmy don't make life easy for themselves. Luckily the younger set of twins, Leon and Noel became children. So it could've been worse!

So I'm officially throwing in the towel; seems like this hair isn't playing nice or I'm being incredibly stupid . Either way I'm too upset to carry on, if anyone can do this for me that'd be great though .

Anyway, I'm currently planning on rebuilding the universities, I have a lot of CC deco I plan on using. Gonna fire up the game and get started .

My new medieval fantasy game is turning into a mega-hood. I started with a custom 'hood, added Sedona, then Veronaville and Pleasantview, and then decided to throw Widespot into the mix, too. I'm on the fence on adding more; I haven't played Strangetown in years, and I like a couple of the sims in Bluewater, and I've not played the other pre-made 'hoods. That's why Pleasantview got added - I normally only use it as a test 'hood. I'm not going to add everyone to my rotation at once, but as it makes sense (sims befriend bin sims, sims hire them, or my town grows to need a new craftsman or merchant). My played sims are mostly fleeing war during a collapsing empire; some have lands on the edge of the empire, and a relative of the old emperor will establish a new kingdom in that isolated territory. A few families will be native to that region, but it's only sparsely inhabited. Nobles that have lands only used them for hunting vacations, so they only have small homes. There are a couple of peasant families and the Summerdreams are set up as fairies in the woods. Everyone else will be refugees trickling in over the years. I haven't decided which families will be travelling with the CAS sims to be the founders of the new town. I'm still doing setup.

To get started, I went into each house and gave everyone makeovers. For the lots that had things going on, I played for a bit to get everyone ready to move into the sim bin. I want the sims, not the neighbourhood maps. I had Cassandra get left at the alter; the Bella Goth townie (Maria Gibbson) walked by during that, so I moved her in. I've decided that her family found her begging on the street (the DR career she had gave her the job title of beggar) and brought her home. She's a bit confused, but still loves Mortimer. The Goths will hold a duchy in my 'hood. I moved them and their gravestones to a new sub-hood.

I have no idea what I'll do with Don Lothario. I've got the any LTW mod, and he's rolled Golden Anniversary. He's got wants to woohoo multiple sims, so I don't know if he'll work towards his LTW or not.

I resurrected Darleen Dreamer and Michael Bachelor, but not Skip. Once I get the Brokes moved in, I'll generate his tombstone on their lot.

The Pleasants are a mess. The parents are furious with each other, and everyone in the house keeps picking on Lilith. Until I directed them to plan new outfits, her family was queuing up to be horrid to her. Meanwhile, she autonomously was trying to get people to play games or joke with her. I've merged the Oldies and Burbs into the house, too. They are fleeing as an extended family.

The Monty and Capp families are also travelling as extended family groups - the Capp crowd is going to be a handful. Aside from the sims that already have homes in my town, I'm making everyone earn/build their homes. Like the Goths, the Veronaville families have been placed on new lots along with the family graves.

The Sedona sims look like they'll be a lot of fun/challenge. I've made three of them into peasants, and Tarek into a craftsman who aspires to be a merchant.

I haven't started making over the Widespot or sim bin families yet. I'm trying to get a balance of classes, and I'm not sure what rank I want them to get yet. I'm also not sure I want to play all the bin sims - some might become tourists or downtownies, as I don't have any of those yet.

I'm not going to be adding most of the interconnected pre-mades to my rotations for a while. I want to see what happens on community lots first. Watching sims in the background will help shape the direction of the town.

The last baby of the 1st generation in Tinsel Town has been born!

Sarah Stewart, daughter of Silvia and Andy Stewart, was born at 4pm on Saturday, Day 19. Parents and child are doing well. Silvia has been warned against having another child, and she's agreed to have permanent birth control for the rest of her life. Her doctors are extremely concerned that she will have another miscarriage if she attempts to have another child. Silvia readily agreed, as she is more focused on her career than having children.

There are now 25 children in town. 13 girls and 12 boys in 11 households. That's a pretty good size for such a small town, isn't it?
