Well, my game is lost, but I might as well share the pictures I had anyway since I don't plan on starting a new family just yet (maybe I'll be convinced to change my mind after playing with the Create-a-Pet demo next week... at the very least I will share tons of pictures of the Pets I create in it XD).
Back to when the triplets were toddlers, this is Dana singing to her imaginary friend doll, Peanut.
Deanna with her doll, Puzzle.
And Destiny with her doll, Hesper.
This is Madison, the family maid! I really liked her looks and knew I wanted to get her into the family. I sort of pegged her as a wife for Dax, the oldest of the G4 kids, but I knew she might be too old by then, so I was sort of considering having Colby have an affair...
This is when I'd still had the gravestones sitting in the back yard (I eventually had to put them in the family inventory, because my two elders, Bonnie and Abraham, were both terrified of ghosts and would wake up just to walk ALL the way across the house so they could faint from fear and it got old very quickly). Lincoln, the husband of my founder, watches some tv while his ghostly great granddaughter Deanna plays with some blocks!
The triplets age up. Dana and Destiny playing in the treehouse (Deanna was in there, too, but inside where I couldn't see her).
I had all the kids playing pretend as a prince and princesses... but was sad because they don't interact with each other. They were all invited by Dax to "play pretend with" or something, but still, no interacting. I was sad. But they were still cute! Here's Deanna and Dax.
When Bobbi aged up from young adult to adult, she entered a midlife crisis. You get some wants that are marked in a different color, but once you promise them, you can't cancel them. Bobbi rolled random wants for a while and then rolled a want to randomly divorce Colby. I hardly ever let my sim's cheat on each other or anything, so they tend to get married, stay married and die married to one person forever. The desire to do something different, plus the fact I wanted to get Madison the maid's genes into the family, made me decide to go ahead and go through with it. So, here Bobbi insults Colby and is then all EH I CAN DO BETTER THAN YOU, DIVORCE NAOW PLZ.
I finally got a baby gnome! Baby Harry. <3
Dax joined the scouts, and here he was showing off one of his badges to his grandpa Abraham.
Colby and Madison got engaged pretty darn quickly!
And then married! No huge party this time, though.
Deanna and Dana on the bus!
Bobbi, who I kept at the house because she was getting close to her lifetime want of being a creature-robot crossbreeder, checks out her wrinkles in the mirror.
Dax turns into a chubby-cheeked teen.
Ghost stories are the new pillow fights. If I leave them alone for 2 seconds, everyone wants to tell ghost stories. D:
Madison cleans up a spill, while the new maid Melissa comes in to.. do the same thing. This was taken during a special gameplay session. I tend to micromanage, but in Sims 2 one of my favorite Sims bloggers did a thing where, for one full sim day, you let the sims do whatever the heck they want to do without giving them ANY input from you, the player. And you take one picture an hour of whatever someone is doing at the time.
Madison pregnancy vomiting!
The maid told ghost stories outside to no one.
I just liked taking outdoor pictures of Deanna during the day because she could be hard to spot sometimes. XD
This was the first time any of the kids interacted with Madison on their own.
Dana and Destiny had a ballet recital, so off went the entire family to the school to watch!
Love the ballet uniforms. <3
I have no idea why they are in front of the school at night in their pajamas playing with their imaginary friend dolls.
Bonnie (my G2 heiress) chose to DIE during my "24 hours of sims doing their own thing" play time. D:
As she was dying, Dax took the opportunity to scare his grandfather. WTF, Dax.
And Destiny wet herself. Hey, that was pretty good! All day with 9 sims doing their own thing and I only had ONE pee accident!
Colby teaching Dax how to drive!
I had forgotten about Colby's fertility reward thing, so he and Madison had twin girls: Del and Daya.
Dax, meanwhile, egged the neighbor's house (and got caught and grounded).
Twins as toddlers! Daya.
And Del.
Daya with a teenaged Destiny. Destiny was actually who I was leaning towards as my choice for heiress. Her and Daya, though I was trying to wait and see what Daya would look like as a teen.
I also had a bit of a soft spot for Dana, who made funny faces.
See?
Teen Deanna!
Teen homework time!
This is one of the kids I had pegged to maybe be Destiny's husband if I chose her as heiress. There were two others I was thinking about, but never got around to inviting them over to the house so I could get a better look at them.
I don't even want to know what this conversation is about or why you are having said conversation with your kid sister. That's Daya all aged up, by the way!
And Del.
Moar derp face.
Deanna in the pool during the day. Kinda creepy! I'd sent the twins and the triplets to the pool together to hang out. Dax couldn't go because he was grounded again.
And now, the last three pictures I took before I officially lost the save due to corruption and stupidness of the game. I decided I wanted to redo the house a bit, because it was so dark inside and I was tired of it. So, here's the living room...
Dining room...
And the very last picture I took. The triplets, the twins and each of their mothers all watching tv together. The only two family members NOT in this picture are Colby and Dax (the only two guys!). A very fitting final picture, to have almost all the family together in one shot (I had so many sims on so many different schedules, this was incredibly rare!).
I'mma miss those guys.
