Growing Sims

Connor Random died, age 74. 

 

His widow, Carla, was just 61 but she was close to her end as well since she'd not got nowhere near to fulfilling her LTW.  That left a bit of a quandary.  Carla's young daughter, Carol was still 4 days away from becoming a teen.  If Carla died before then, Carol would be taken away by the social worker.

So she consulted her older daughter, Carine.  Carine had just given birth to a baby boy - Carl.  Carine and Ashley had just extended the house so as to have a proper dining room and lounge area.  They couldn't afford to build another bedroom or for Carine to leave Ashley with the baby and move in to her mother's for a while.  So Carine asked her cousin, Lynette.  They had a three-bedroomed house by the sea in Bluewater.  But Glen didn't want an old woman dying in the house and leaving a child with them.  Next best bet was Uncle Cleve who lived alone.  He was 67 but still had a few days left.  He agreed.

Carla returned home from work one day at about 6pm and was now 64.  It was evident that the Grim Reaper was due to arrive any minute.  Carol quickly packed as much as they could and they moved into Cleve's place.  Cleve got talking to Carol to get to know her and they hung out outside.  Carla met death upstairs.  They hadn't got there a moment too soon.

Carol mourns.

Cleve and Carol got on quite well and he showed her his operating machine.

 

A couple of days later Carol grew to a teen. 

And with that, this marks the end of the Growing Sim blog at Blogigo.  Over at Wordpress I'll continue with the story of Sims in Veronaville and the Brokes, Pleasants, Dreamers and Goths in Pleasantview.

Thanks for visiting.

I have transferred all Veronaville blog posts to Wordpress.  I will no longer update this blog unless I feel like writing about the Randoms.  I imagine I'll stop with the death of Connor Random.  The name dies with him. 

This blog will stay here as an archive for as long as possible.

Candida died age 64 just after her daughter, Michaela, left for university.  Death went to the loo afterwards

leaving a sad empty house, with a meal that would never be cooked and music playing for no-one.

 

That just leaves Connor as the last of the second generation Randoms.

Connor's daughter, Carine, returned from university and lived in Charlotte's house with Lynette, the only surviving member of Terence's family.  Connor's other daughter, Carol, has just grown to school age.

Carine briefly lived with Peter Taylor, a shifty looking townie.  Lynette fought with him constantly.  Finally he starved from not eating in between fights.  Lynette, meanwhile, was dating Glen Greenwood from Bluewater.  Not to be outdone, Carine got a blind date and it turned out being Ashley Pitts, a student in the Greek House at Sim State.  They got engaged and he dropped out of uni to move in.  Lynette got Glen to move in and they got engaged too. They both proposed at the same time

and were accepted.

The weddings were supposed to be at the same time as well but Glen was working so Lynette's wedding party was one day after Carine's.

Apart from Carine's parents, all the rest of the guests were part of the Greenwood family.  Lynette's wedding was the following day with much the same guests.

A new addition was River Greenwood on the right, who'd just become a teen as well as the blonde teen twins.

During the party Forest Greenwood (the dark-haired dude in the front above) caught fire after being in the love tub.  Lynette came to the rescue and extinguished the fire (who better than a person whose whole family had perished in a house fire).  The Greenwoods were indebted to their new daughter/sister-inlaw.  Afterwards of course, they were all rather smelly.

I removed the offending tub before anyone else caught fire.

After their honeymoon, Glen shifted back to Bluewater with his new wife and built a small house by the sea.

Theophile's wife, Valley Greenwood, gave birth to a second daughter, Soleil.

So from a family of 10 kids, the Randoms are reduced to one and the surviving grandchildren are female or have different surnames.  They were:

Nigel - gay;  Hortensia - one child, Theophile;  Enid - no issue;  Charlotte - one child, Johnny (died by fire);  Woody - gay;  Terence - 6 kids, only 1 daughter, Lynette, survives, Connor - two girls, Carine and Carol;  Tyler (adopted) - no issue;  Candida - 2 children, Cardio (starved to death) and Michaela;  Henry (adopted) - died of pneumonia as a teenager.
