Penny: Hello, Raj Rasoya? You don't know me, but I'm Penny and you are going to marry me and have a baby with me so that I can complete this Dynasty thingy. Your non-pretty boy genetics are pleasing to me.
Raj: I feel oddly enchanted. But wait, what??
Penny: Now, let's go tell your mother the happy news.

Priya is a cute bookworm. She managed to max potty and imagination and grew up a Happy Toddler despite the two days of sadness.

Deductions:
Pass out: -3
Observant reward: -1
Hired NPC bartender: -1
Net: 50 points
The pass outs came from Raj's encounter with Caleb, and both Raj and Karim decided to stand outside at the elevator after returning from work until they passed out.
I bought the observant reward so that Penny could scope out potential mates for Priya.
I hired a bartender for the Incognito Party and then realized that would count as an NPC hire. Duh!
Overall, the first generation was challenging, especially after Geeta died. I normally just give my Sims moodlet solvers after a death and move on! It was at that point that I moved Karim in so that I had an adult around for Priya in order to avoid hiring a Nanny. Karim was a very good Sim. He was a busker, so came with a good many musical points. A lot of the promotions came from his Musician career (joined after Priya became a child), which worked out well because even though he had everything he needed, Raj was only promoted once and that was on a free day. I think his career is bugged. Karim was also a better caregiver for Priya than Raj was, frequently checking on her, taking her to potty, etc.
Penny did not get many satisfaction points at all because she was frequently involved in dealing with Priya as a toddler and working on skills and maxing her career.
