Hi!
Today my second generation, Douglas died along with his husband. Their son grew up into a adult the day after, and right now he's in a relationship with a sim I've had saved for him since he was a child. She is pregnant, and I plan on marrying them soon!
I hired more employees for the home business, also adding more things.
To sum this up, my third generation started, and some business work!

But congrats on your next generation.
Nothing's happened in my Sim world lately, but I haven't played them in the last few days as I've been working on a new neighborhood, and building houses for it.
Things have been going pretty normally. Tybalt got a job and moved out, I managed to save Juliet's grades before she aged up, and things with Romeo and her have been fine (other than age difference now). Hermia is not going well and nearly lost her job, and Puck and her are going steady. She did try her luck with Mercutio, but he caught her with Puck at one of the Summerdream's parties and broke it off with her. Oberon and Titania married at the same party. The next day, at Juliet's birthday party, Consort died (a sim usually dies at my parties for some reason, maybe I'm cursed). That's life in Veronaville at the moment.
I think I'm going to start over now that I have the Ultimate Collection though, who knows how that'll go!
Anyway, that's what's going on with my current Sims, lol.
She's a Romance Sim and her LTW is to top the Slacker Career- easy.
But, while searching for her future husband- dating NPCs- she got pregnant (rolled for it). She did marry the father but not because of the baby, because they got along really well. She married the Gardener, Leo Deppiesse. They're got a cute little toddler girl, Leia, and a new baby boy, Dalziel.
That's cute. I didn't know you could pick those kinds of characters to play with. The only way I seem to be able to interact with them is when they come around to do their work.
Good luck with the little girl and the baby!
I have pictures.
Oh, OK. Interesting. Must just be with the newspaper, and mail person, because Dennis has one of the cashiers he met at a community lot on his list of people to call.
Have your Sims talked to the mailperson and newspaper kid? It might be a bug with a different expansion and I just don't remember which.
Edited to add:
@Rflong7
OK, I just had Lauren talk to Pao, the mailman. Maybe it's cause he's on duty, they could only talk, and talking consisted of either chatting or bragging, I don't know. However, after he went away, I had her come inside and go to the phone as though to call someone. He's on the list! So, anyone is available for chatting on the phone if they talk to the person first! Yay!
Here's my story with those families this far:
Don and Cassandra got married, and after Mortimer died, they had a baby named Annabelle. Meanwhile, Daniel got caught with Kaylynn, and Mary-Sue broke up with him. Daniel and Kaylynn moved out together and bought a house (which actually was on the other side of the road from the Pleasant house
Kaylynn went into the culinary career and moved forward quite quickly. Daniel managed to reach the top of his career. But Mallory didn't even reach her teenage years, before Kaylynn got pregnant again, which Daniel felt was quite odd as their relationship really was not all that he dreamed of and they rarely did anything that would result in any new forms of life sprouting. The secret that Kaylynn kept from him, was that she and Don were still in touch and one day, ended up in the same bed. When the twins Sabrina and Jeremy were born, Daniel did not show any suspicion even though they looked nothing like him with their tan skin and black hair.
Mallory and Annabelle were around the same age and became best friends in their teens. They were on the same class at school and did everything together. Some drama arose when Annabelle once accidentally flirted with Mallory's crush on one of Annabelle's famous house parties at the Goth mansion, but they got over that.
After Daniel's death Kaylynn was left alone with her three kids that were quite a hand full. Mallory used to sneak out almost every night with Annabelle, but as she felt responsible for her mother's sufferings as a single parent, she made sure to never get caught. Annabelle, on the other hand, was a famous party girl, but her parents were quite easy-going about all her shenanigans and let her do her thing. The both girls were amazingly gifted musically and loved dancing. They had many hobbies together, and Annabelle was Mallory's rock in her tough home situation.
I also had Alexander move to college, although I didn't play with him, and was very surprised to see Bella dropping him off!
So yeah. I just moved Annabelle and Mallory off to college and started playing with them - they both live in the same dorm. Annabelle studies economics and Mallory studies drama. Kaylynn has just grown into an elder, but is not thinking about retirement because she still has teenage twins to support.She is bothered by Daniel's ghost, who appears every night yelling, and has a thought bubble of their former bed that I sold after he died. I guess he's mad about that. He's last years were not very happy, so I think it might be because of that. Anyway, I love that in Sims 2, so many things affect everything, and it's not so COLD and... you know, soulless (?) as the Sims 4, which I have quit completely, at least until they make some drastic changes.
Ah, well, that could be my issue, then, lol.
Yeah, Daniel died on their home lot and left an urn, which turns into a tombstone when placed outside. Then the ghost comes from the tombstone at nighttime.
OK, thank you! The only Sim that nearly died (well, did die, actually) was Dennis, who happens to be the one who always wants to see a ghost, lol. I managed to get his wife to save his life by pleading with the Reaper, so that's why he's still alive. I'm so tempted to have their daughter age up while keeping them young with the Elixir of Life, and then letting her die, and be the ghost who comes back. Yes, I'm twisted, lol.
Ghosts can be annoying but sometimes they can be really helpful. I had a sim who happened to be extremely neat (max) and after she died of old age, she continued to clean the house for her descendants.
They can do that? Wow.
That's when I noticed Joshua has a brother linked to him in his family tree. What!? A brother? How did I miss this? Seems his brother lived in a separate household from him. He stayed in the Bright household at Uni.
Great, I thought, I'll just pop over to Uni, play Martin to age him up, and reunify him with his brother!
Only problem is, I can't find the household. I'm afraid someone may have deleted them over the years. I've been spending all my time since, trying to figure out how to fix it. I almost don't want to play again, until I do. :'(
