Growing Sims

Another Collie update.  I'm limited by the pics I can find.  After today, I'm going to concentrate on a couple of branches only and forget the rest unless they inter-marry or something.  I take pics and can never find them so I'll have to ruthlessly cull some more pics.

Anyway - onward.  First Penny's family.  Richard Danaher still lives with his dad and owns a grocery store.   Harriett has four kids - three girls and a boy.  This is one of the older girls but I can't remember which one - probably Brianna (Harriett's kids are Caitlyn, Brianna and twins, Briony and Brett).

Over at Kane's, his daughter, Mairead grew into a toddler and within a day learned to walk, talk and go to the potty (with some help from smart milk and an attentive mother).

She has her mother's green eyes.

Devon's family: - Amelie gave birth to a girl and called it Alexis.

That night, after Devon took Alexis to the kitchen for a bottle, the Grim Reaper came for her.

She was 68.

Why not step on the baby on the way out?

Jeremy was upset.

but the others didn't seem to care much - certainly not Amelie - she and Devon didn't like each other much.  Alexis quickly grew to a toddler and looks like her mother with piercing blue eyes.

(Boy am I sick of that panda suit.)  Amelie is pregnant again.

Over at Victoria and Guillaume's - toddler, Peyote, learned to walk.

(which is a surprise considering general neglect), and tried to catch butterflies.

His brother, Reefer, teased him when possible but otherwise ignored him.

He grew into a teen on the same day as Peyote grew into school age.

Over to what's left of Darlene's family.  Hogan married Crystal Kosmokos? and I took a pic but do you think I can find it?  I've scrolled up and down but just can't see it.  Zen has gone to university.

Over to Denny's - here's a family pic of Denny, Emily and daughter Denim.

Denim was three quarters of the way through school age when her elderly father died.

He was 72.

I probably won't bother blogging about Emily and Denim in future.

To Kenny's family - not much happening there and I probably won't bother blogging about them.  Lyrica is now a teenager and Melody has grown to elderhood.  Kenny is about 70 now.

Over at Kenny's son, Damien's, Demonica grew to school age and I took a pic but again I can't find it.  Marla is pregnant again.

Emma was at university but I think I made her drop out.

Anyway, she's now back home and wants 20 simultaneous lovers.  She has three, is working on a fourth (Greg Langerak), and paid 3000 simoleons for a blind date but that didn't work out at all.  He just wasn't interested.  What a waste of money.

Her brother, Philippe, just married his live-in-lover, Gwen.

Gwen is now pregnant.

Philippe and cousin, Guillaume, have the same job.

They look like their fathers, Francois and Pierre (except Philippe has a big nose).

Artois is now at university.  I'm not sure where his sister Stella is - I forgot about her.

His little sister, Hollandia, isn't getting much attention.

Erina keeps missing work because she thinks she's pregnant but she's not getting bigger at all.  She'll be an elder shortly.

Nothing much happening with Pierre, Francois or their wives.  Trying to get enough friends so they can be promoted - pain in the butt.

I played the Collies and associated families for three Sim days but finding the pictures is getting to be rather difficult.  I just deleted some but this update is going to be rather 'random'.  I might have to start concentrating on one or two families to make it easier - as each generation becomes larger,  it's harder to keep track!

Off the top of my head, Damien Tan and Marla's daughter, Demonica is now a toddler.  Marla and Alex Lillard are still in love despite the divorce and remarriage.  Alex's wife, Amelie, is still seeing Kane Danaher, whose wife, Siobhan, just given birth to a daughter - Mairead.

Daniel Collie's three remaining offspring - Dana, Deon and Margareta, were all expecting babies.

Margareta Simpson (nee Collie) on the right, talking to sister Dana (whose second husband Jessie ran off with ex-sis-inlaw).  Dana gave birth to a boy and called it Jess.  Margareta gave birth to a girl and called it Shona.  Sister-in-law, Angel, gave birth to a girl and called it Lena.

Shona is now a toddler.

Devon Lillard is close to the end of her life.  Her daughter-in-law, Amelie is due to give birth.

Hogan moved into a large house with girlfriend, Krystal Kos...? (can never remember her surname) and his nephew and half-brother, Zen.  He finally proposed to her.  (She's put on weight.)

Can't think of anything else of note.  Next an update on the Champignons.

A while ago I had a brief update on Jan.  Her boyfriend, Greg Royce, had moved in.  Jan then got pregnant (fairly late in life).  She gave birth to a boy, who is now a toddler.  She called him Danny, naturally, after her father.

Jan and Greg aren't married.  I think he's a crook, and Jan's been promoted to Warhead Disarmer.   Jan will be an elder in a few days.
