Growing Sims

Leo Bachman reached the top of his career and became professional party guest.  Unfortunately he died very soon after, but it was a platinum occasion.  He was sent off with a drink and a suitcase to swaying hula girls at age 74 while Gretchen was still sleeping.

Another platinum death happened at Raoul's house (his house no longer). 

Poor old Raoul - the last of the first generation.  He died aged 80.  Philippe immediately started crying and Maddie went crazy. 

Pierre cried much later.  Even baby Emma registered her grandfather's death.  It seems a much smaller family now.

Emma grew into a toddler and oops - has the same pixie features that Philippe did. 

She quickly got a makeover with longer hair to cover the giveaway ears.

Jean-Philippe is getting older and at only 64 is nearing the end of his life.  Heidi, at the same age, has a while to go.  J-P got promoted to leading man and voted the sexiest.  He's not too bad looking for his age. 

Unfortunately his long-term want was to have 50 first dates and that's not gonna happen.  He nearly went on a date with Sonique but still hasn't.

Over at Sonique's they bought a guitar and Heinrich got into it. 

Dane got some rough treatment from Jean-Paul.

Jean-Paul finally grew into an adult and moved out. 

He wasn't happy but hey - not every kid can go to university (why do they all want to go?).  Dane won't be going either so he still has another 7 days of teenhood.  I guess I could send him off and then make him drop out - it would be much quicker.  But he'll have the house to himself soon anyway.
