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.
