No more deaths as of yet, but on the day Abhijeet reached the top of his career, he turned into an elder, retiring with a 350 retirement pay. Because this is a big drop from 1000, he's now working as a Team Mascot. I don't think he's going to last the day, though.

Rikku is still an adult, and at writing this, she has reached the top of the medical career. She did this the same day as Jacob became an adult. He now has a job in the Culinary track. Rikku is also on her way to maxing all her skills, and currently has maxxed logic, creativity, cleaning and mechanical. I don't think I'll be able to max body, because she only has 1 body point, and is aging into an elder in 3 days. April is also nearly an elder, and has 5 days to go. She is still unemployed, and as a love sim, she has very low aspirations, as she's been unable to fulfill anything.

With Jacob, he is a family sim, so I am trying to develop his relationship with Ivy Copur. Hopefully, they'll build up enough of a relationship to carry on the legacy. The only problem is that Jacob has his father's nose, and I'm worried that the rest of the children will have that trait.

Plan for tomorrow:
- Abhijeet dies.
- Rikku and April to age into elders.
- Jacob to propose to Ivy.

A lot of drama happened today, so much I can't remember where to begin. Marylena got quite high in her career, and while she was at work, Rikku and Abhijeet have been getting together, and eventually, Rikku became pregnant. By this point, Marylena still didn't suspect anything, until Rikku kissed Abhijeet in front of Marylena, and she fell out with Rikku, whereas April, angry at Abhijeet for cheating on her mother, fell out with him, with a -75 relationship score. Rikku gave birth, and luckily, it was to a boy, called Jacob.

Jacob had no nanny, as the adults and April took it in turns to take care of him, because money was tight. As a toddler, Marylena was able to teach him to talk, whereas Rikku taught him to potty-train, and walk. He was able to do all three, something both Rikku and April were never able to do. Not all stories are happy though, as on the night that April became an adult, and Jacob became a child, Marylena passed away. Though grieving, Rikku and Abhijeet got engaged the same night, but were difficult to keep happy, and for a few days, went to work exhausted, as they wouldn't sleep. A similar thing was happening with April, as she wouldn't eat, and almost died of starvation. Luckily, it was Rikku's day off, who begged for her life. Since then, the sisters have been very close.

The day Jacob became a teenager, Abhijeet and Rikku got married. April doesn't have a job, as she stays at home making the family friends that Rikku and Abhijeet need to progress in their careers. Jacob is doing well in school, and is always getting A+ report cards.

Plan for tomorrow:
- Rikku and Abhijeet to reach the top of their careers.
- Jacob to turn into an adult and start the next generation.

When I left my Sims yesterday, James was a few days away from being an elder, Rikku had turned into a child, and Marylena was in the middle of an affair, as well as trying to get pregnant with a boy.

On James' birthday, just before he turned into an elder, Marylena finally fell pregnant. A few days later, Rikku aged badly into a teenager, but made up for it by continually doing her homework, and generally being easier for her parents to handle than when she was a toddler. She rolled a knowledge aspiration.

Eventually, Marylena gave birth again. Unfortunately, it was another girl, and since James had aged into an elder by now, there was no hope for anymore, leaving Rikku to be the heir. The little girl - Rikku - grew up well, and as a toddler, managed what her sister was not able to do, and was pottytrained, and learnt to talk. On the night of toddler April's birthday, the unfortunate thing happened in that James Jones died in his sleep. He never got to see his daughter grow up.

Because of this, Marylena had to be visited by the shrink, and mourned for days. Though April and Rikku carried on as normal, Marylena missed days from work, and became demoted twice. However, she was pulled out of it when visited by Abhijeet, who she proposed to, and he accepted.

It wasn't long before, on the same day, Rikku and April grew into adult and teenager, respectfully. Rikku got a job in the Medical career, and April got a romance aspiration, and wanted her first kiss. Marylena aged soon after this, and her and Abhijeet were still engaged. However, on one of her days off, Rikku invited Abhijeet to her house, and unfortunately, they fell in love, having an affair behind Marylena's back. There was love in the air for April, also, as she quickly fell in love, had her first kiss, and is currently going steady with Meadow Thayer. As we close, Marylena has just been promoted to Detective.

Plan for tomorrow:
- Let Marylena die.
- Rikku and Abhijeet get engaged.
- April to age well into adult.

Re-installed The Sims 2, and therefore, restarting my legacy game. This time, I'm starting with a guy - James Jones. Random name, don't ask. I think we can safely say he had a VERY bad start.....Within 5 minutes of me playing, he was almost dead, because he started a fire, and didn't have a fire alarm OR a telephone. Fun.

Eventually, he was happy in his two-roomed house: one was a toilet and dining room, the other, a bedroom and kitchen. All was going well, and then James met Marylena (Can't remember her surname), a Townie. They became friends really quickly, and within a week or two, James proposed to her, and they were married 4 days later. On the night of their wedding, Marylena fell pregnant, and on the same day, developed food poisoning. All the resting and exhaustion was worth it, as Marylena gave birth to the first child of my second generation, a little girl - Rikku Jones.

The same day Marylena gave birth, James was demoted in his politics career, so money was more tight. They just about scraped to afford a crib for Rikku. Marylena and James had to keep taking days off throughout Rikku's baby and toddler days, either through exhaustion from being kept awake by her, or taking care of her, even though they had hired a nanny.

I finished the day when Rikku progressed into an adult, aging as a "Diaper Filler". All in all, not a bad day.

Going back for nostalgic purposes, I played on a little. When I went to bed, James was 2 days away from elder and has been promoted back to Lobbyist, and Marylena is having an affair with Abhijeet Deppiesse, and after a lot of trying, has finally become a patrol officer. James and Marylena have also been trying for children constantly, but with no luck. It looks like Rikku will have to give birth to the third generation.

Plan for tomorrow:
- Age James into an elder.
- Marylena to have a boy.
- Rikku to become a teenager.
