I really like story progression in The Sims. The gaining of memories and skills and the expansion of the family tree. I took a snapshot of all of their current skills.

Elena:


Thompson:


Charlotte:


Leeroy: (useless)


Emily:


This is the bottom of the house.


This is the top. The extra rooms are for the new family members.


It's a good thing she still likes him after it took so long for them to get together.


Thomspon is going for a new look in his old age.



I decided to pick something neater.



Charlotte's career in Medicine is going pretty well. It's not quite part of her aspiration but the character I built around her made me choose this profession.


Family meals still continue.


And a baby bump has appeared!

So Leeroy and Charlotte have done the deed.



And have also gotten married!


The little business has transformed into a decent home.
Yikes, looks like I forgot windows and doors for the balcony.

So it's time to close the business down and put it away. The house is getting a major makeover in preparation for the next generation.

They're one of the hardest to get together. I made them compatible but they've taken quite some time to get to the point where I can start boosting their relationship with romantic interactions.


Elena's now an Elder. She blossomed.


Yeah! That's how you do it!


Charlotte and Emily still get on well.


Thompson isn't that far off becoming an Elder.


They've finally entered a romantic relationship.



Now the engagement.


After getting engaged I'm going to move him in. That means we're going to need more room. Bye bye to Charlotte's old room.


This is the third level in preparation for Charlotte and Leeroy.


He's also getting on well with the family. Good for him.
Part of me wants it to be a little rocky with the others. He was such a difficult Sim to seduce.

So Charlotte has aged up in an adult! Unfortunately she also hit rock bottom too... having family aspirations can be hard when you only have your family. Ironic.
Time to move a new character into the neighbourhood.



Business is going well.



Emily and Elena still get on well. All of them do, really.


Gotta get a little fit.


Emily turned into a teenager!


The house is really growing up. From left to right: Emily, Elena, Charlotte and Thompson.



Elenas gone for a change of style. Looking good.



Still working out.


Who's that neighbour I spy?



Check out these guns.
