Generation 6
An exciting new generation!The sixth generation consisted of three sims, Caspian Silverman, Selene Fils-Aime, and Elara Proctor. Let's see what is in store!
Since last time...Selene aged up to a child and has been working diligently on school work and her logic skill. She still is unsure of what she wants to accomplish with her life, what skills she wants to hone, and who she is. Her family is encouraging her to pursue anything she finds interesting. They tell her "You'll figure it out, don't be impatient. Things fall into place for everyone." Selene's birthday is just around the corner. Her family decides to throw a party, and her uncle, Armando, is in charge of it.
The party ends as a great success, and Selene develops the "Hates the Outdoors" trait.

| There have been a couple genetic traits that have been plaguing me. If I remember correctly, when your sim receives randomized traits they are more likely to receive traits that the parent sims have and grandparent sims and so on. The traits that I just cannot stand but still keep showing up are Hates the Outdoors and Neurotic. They aren't the worst negative traits, yet I am a little sick of my sims autonomously checking the fireplace and sinks all the time. |
Selene's birthday wasn't the only birthday on this day. Both Shroeder and Patricia became an elder after the party had ended. Patricia decided to retire from her job as a Mad Scientist in order to spend more time at home with her family. She is already thinking about future grandbabies and how much time she will spend with them! Shroeder loves his job as a Doctor and decides to keep working through his sunset years.
Morp Gurgle is getting pretty old and Patricia decided it would be a great idea for the two of them to go to the Summer Festival together. They had fun roller skating and ended up taking a cute photo together to remember their time there.
Morp Gurgle decides to take a trip out to the movie theater, and while she is there she sees her Dad, Remus. After Remus moved out with Morp Gurgle's mom, they lost contact and haven't really spoken since. It was an awkward and slightly bitter reunion. It may have been some much needed closure for Morp Gurgle, though.

| I moved these two sims, Remus and his wife, out of the home because it was literally bursting at the seams. Since Sylvia and Elmer had five kids and those kids were marrying and having kids I was nearing the top threshold of 16 sims in the home. In the story, they decided to retire to a nice home near the cliffs in Sunset Valley. For some reason, Remus has literally, lived forever. He has had an extremely long life even for a sim. His wife died long ago and I was able to retrieve her tombstone from the mausoleum ingame weeks ago. He is still kicking! About a week after Morp Gurgle died he finally decided to croak. Get this too, he even got remarried! His tombstone has a different lastname than Proctor. He's such a little tramp. |
The next morning, while Morp Gurgle is tending the garden, she died of old age. The family gathers around and mourns her death.
Life moves on!Despite the current emotional state of everyone in the home, it comes time for Elara's birthday. She is the first of this generation to become a young adult. Even though she is the eldest girl, she is not considered the heiress since she is not a direct decendant of the previous heir- but if something were to happen to her sister, Selene, she would be the next in line. Once again, her uncle Armando plans a party for her.

| This is when Disaster strike and I lose my save. Here's what happened in more detail. |
With family pressure looming, Selene decides to get married early. She meets Diego through a mutual friend at school and they hit it off. Before anything serious happens, she wants him to meet her parents. Diego comes over to meet the family.
With Diego's meeting with her father going well, Elara is ecstatic. She wants to further their relationship and to have kids early, so they can enjoy their childrens' youth with enough energy to keep up. Not to mention, Patricia and Gerald are waiting with baited breath for grandkids to call their own. Unfortunately, fate has other plans for the Proctors.
Geralds death hits Elara rather hard. She has just started her adult life and she feels a heavy loss not having her father there to help guide her. He won't be there to see her wedding, children, nor success. Right now, her main priority is still to have her family early. She bottles up her emotions and put a lot of her energy into her relationship with her boyfriend, Diego.
Elara has her first Woohoo with Diego. They decide to use protection since they aren't married yet.
While Elara is adjusting to her new life, Caspian has become an adult! He decides to ditch the emo hair but still keep his rebel attitudes, and he decides that his lifetime wish is to become Street Credible. After working on his street art skill all through his teen years, it wasn't a tough decision for him.
After Caspian reaches the max influence in the Rebel social group, he decides he wants to become an art appraiser. He is focused on furthering his career before he thinks about dating or kids, as opposed to his cousin Elara who wants kids right this second.
While Caspian works on his career, Elara is focused entirely on Diego. Elara decides to propose to him after a night out!
Elara and Diego decide to throw a wedding party, inviting all their family and friends to attend. They get married at the house, and Patricia sets up a wedding arch and some flowers for their special day. Everyone who attended thought the service was special.
After the guests head home, Elara and Diego spend their first night together as husband and wife. Can we please talk about the flippers???
After their first night together, Elara finds out she is pregnant. She realizes she needs a hobby, after having so much down time after the wedding. During her pregnancy she picks up inventing. She realized it is something she truly loves to do and starts spending all her free time doing it. An accident happens at the work bench, and she starts a fire! She got a little fried but the baby was okay.
After finding out she is pregnant, Diego decides to put his best foot forward and changes his hair and flippers to be a more traditional looking father. He starts swimming regularly in the family pool and discovers a love for snorkeling!
Finally, it is Selene's turn to have her birthday and become a young adult. After watching her siblings struggle to find their way in the world, she is anxious to have her turn discovering more about herself and whet she wants out of her life. Her uncle throws her one of his famous birthday parties and she takes the next step into adulthood!
Shortly after Selene's birthday, Elara gives birth to a baby girl named Maribel. Patricia offered to take over baby care since she knew that Elara had had a long night at the hospital. Maribel gained the traits Genius and Eccentric.

| For some reason, the Science Experiment from University Life attracts random sims to your lot, I guess to mind meld. Normally, this is fine, but for some reason they all have gained entrance into my house. While Maribel was an infant, four sims got stuck in the doorway of the nursery. They were stuck doing the waiting idle animation and were there for hours. My sims couldn't route around the guy in the doorway and they couldn't take care of the baby! I was going to be so upset if they took my kid away because those sims were literally stuck. Suddenly, one of them pissed themselves and it snapped them out of the waiting animation, and I was like, "No way did them pissing on the floor of my nursery fix them beind stuck." So, now one sim was unstuck, but the other three were waiting for their bladder gauge to go down too so they could be free. [???] Error trap never stepped in and never tagged them as unroutable. I am still confused and bewildered. Here are some screenshots. |
Anyway...Caspian completes his lifetime wish, by mastering the Street Art skill and creating masterpiece murals. With his Rebel influence maxed out, he begins his career as an Art Appraiser. For his advancement, he scans art at the local art museum and does his wall murals with his paints.
