Most of the time I make Don leave her at the alter, and basically make it so she'll never try her hand at love again. Usually I keep her and her younger brother together, and she basically becomes a live in nanny whenever he marries and has kids of his own.
I had to choose Goopy to be able to name another townie. Casandra deserves a romantic who will adore her. Go downtown, find Mr. Big, he's rich, considered good looking by most Sims in the game, has a lot of nice stuff in his inventory. Move her to downtown out of the family home. She and 'Mr. Big' can eventually buy up most of downtown and Bluewater. Start her own dynasty. He is great for running businesses, makes a great husband and a great father. He has all the features mixed into one, such as a fortune Sim, a romantic, a family Sim, the hidden Power Sim, etc. etc. Just never delete downtown, lol. Also, he is like a much better Don, than Don, lol, and would be his rival if you think about it. It would be like ok, Don, you left me at the altar, but look who I wound up with.

i always pair don with Cassandra. However, pleasantview is fun in the sense that don likes nina, dina and cassandra. with Don, i had him have kids with Cassandra, Dina, and Nina. Dina married mortimer, and last i played they expected a baby together, and had one. Nina also married and has kids plus a dog! Finally Cassandra married don, although they went on vacation together and they got mad at each other because don kissed dina. i saved my game as they repaired the relationship thank goodness.
I usually have her marry Don (sometimes they do get married, other times he leaves her in the altar), they have 1-3 kids, then eventually she learns Don cheats on her, they divorce and she marries Darren Dreamer and has a few more kids. I think it's the most plausible story arc for her.
You forgot to add 'other'. I regularly pair her off with one of my own sims once the wedding fiasco happens. Once recovered, she's one of the best sims in the game and a fine wife.
When I play I tend to be very predictable when it comes to Cassandra. :D
Don and her end up getting married despite Mortimer's wishes. In my game Cassandra is a very impulsive person when it comes to love. She believes that Don has nothing to do with her mother's disappearance and believes the rumors about him sleeping around are just that, rumors. They end up trying for a baby on their wedding night and usually after that their rotation ends.
When I get around to playing the Dreamer's, I always lock in Darren's wish to flirt/kiss Cassandra. (Having a brain fart here! Can't remember which one it is. 🤔) I take this as him finally having the courage to confess his love for her. After hiding a crush on her all these years because he was afraid of their friendship being destroyed, he wanted to confess his love for her before/during the wedding but sadly couldn't as Cassandra had a private ceremony with Don. So I have him call her up, confess his love (she always responds well!), and then she breaks it off with Don, believing Darren to be her true love.
Normally, just like clockwork, she'll end up showing her pregnancy after she breaks up with Don which adds a bit of spice into the whole thing. 😏 I don't think Darren is the type of man to reject Cassandra's baby so he's always okay with raising it in my games, but Don's reaction always changes. Sometimes I have him fight for custody, upset that another man is raising his son (and to get back at Cassandra for breaking up with him and humiliating him) or I have him completely neglect the child, causing the kid to eventually discover who their biological father is.
@GamecubeLover26 I like to add the "riverview" lore from Sims 3 into my gameplay lately. I have Cassandra marry Don, she's now Cassandra Lothario. They had a male heir named Juan (Don Juan, haha) that will carry the family name and Don's legacy... meanwhile his lovers hate that he married Cassandra and left them one by one overtime, but one day they all figure out he was cheating them with eachother and get super angry (specially Nina and Dina, cuz they are sisters and thats disgusting haha). Cassandra seems to have a blind eye for all of this until her husband disappears without any explanation creating a second "Where's Bella?" situation 25 years after Pleasantview.
Life is a cycle, and things repeat itself... maybe its a curse, maybe its just a pattern that they need to break from...
Where's the Mary Sue option?
I had them end up together after both caught their respective husbands cheating (not with each other lol). It just seemed so perfect since they already had a high relationship and good chemistry. Cassandra became stepmother to the Pleasant twins and good friends with Lilith, although Angela wasn't too keen on her. She also adopted a son and daughter with Mary Sue named Dorian and Lenora, as well as two adorable black cats when the kids aged up and roll the wants for kittens.
Now they're the most sweet and wholesome family in the entire hood, I love playing with them when I need a break from everyone else's soap opera drama.

Though I always make her have a male baby with Don first (he’s adorable)!
