Sadly, I've developed an age glitch and won't be able to continue this story. I already had the next two updates ready, so I'll go ahead and post them so we'll at least have some closure for generation 1.
I think I may just randomly roll dice to determine my starting city and Sims for the next go-round, because why not?
Pippin: We rejoin the Riversong household where the siblings are as kind and loving as ever.
Emerald: Haha! Take that, weakling!
Pippin: And the parents were as affectionate as ever.
Nic: Isn't it nice just sitting here together and enjoying the beautiful nighttime sky?
Cassidy: We could sit on chairs! We have chairs! We don't have to sit on the ground, we have chairs!
Pippin: But one member of the household was experiencing quite a change.
Jessica: Pippin! What did you do to me?
Pippin: It's called old age, Jessica, and it's really not my fault. It affects every Sim sooner or later.
Cassidy: None for me thanks!
Pippin: Oh, I may have commandeered some of your lifetime happiness points to make the founder immortal.
Jessica: Pippin!!!
Pippin: But Jessica isn't the only one aging up.
Onyx: I'm so handsome!
Emerald: Eh, still mediocre at best.
Emerald: (sigh) Pippin, can I get my hair back please?
Pippin: Sure thing. In fact, you and Onyx can get something else too: jobs as ghost hunters!
Onyx: We're so incredibly cool!
Emerald: Well, I'm cool, and you're my sidekick.
Pippin: Speaking of sidekicks, Cassivieve's sidekick aged up to elder.
Nic: I used to be on the edge of hip. Now I'm on the edge of hip
replacement.
Pippin: And speaking of replacements, is Onyx going to replace Minzi with another woman?
Onyx: But...you told me to befriend them, Pippin...
Pippin: Shush! I'm trying to create drama for the readers. But in the end, dear readers, true love won out and our hero returned to his fair damsel.
Minzi: So, apparently I'm a damsel. And fair.
Onyx: That's a cool panda T-shirt you've got there.
Minzi: Yeah, I like it.
Pippin: Now go meet more potential spouses for future generations!
Pippin: Nice! We might not even need to use lifestate elixirs or fountain of youth elixirs on that one!
Onyx: Actually, I have to tutor her for my skill supermaxing.
Pippin: Oh yeah...
Pippin: And Onyx was, indeed, moving quickly and effectively through job advancement as well as skill supermaxing. But not all the news was good.
Cassidy: Oh, poor random person! You were going to be one of our 10 household best friends! Ah well, guess I'll replace you with Grim!
Pippin: Never mind, I guess this is good news. He's even an NPC! Nice face, by the way, Cassphalt.
Cassidy: It's really hard to use my phone when I hold it up like this!
Pippin: Then, why don't you stop holding it up like that?
Cassidy: What? Oh. Anyway, I think I'm going to go have another baby with Nic!
Pippin: ...what?
Pippin: Hey! What are you doing, Onyx?
Onyx: I kind of popped a wish to kiss this lady.
Pippin: Hmmm, Ginger Knott. She's pretty. And a mermaid. Not an original townie, and quite awkwardly, the current roommate of your former flame, Carlotta Shue. Probably not a good idea.
Onyx: You're right, Minzi's glorious.
Pippin: That and I think Minzi and Emerald would hunt you down if you end up in Carlotta's house regardless of who you marry.
Pippin: Wait, are you ending up in Carlotta's house?
Onyx: I'm just here for a party! I need to meet people so my mom can use her Simphone thing to make them our friends.
Pippin: Well, that and so I can try to keep as many original townies alive and in your acquaintance list as possible. Carry on.
Emerald: Nice hair, scary troll beast.
Carlotta: There's a reason I wear it in a pony tail!
Pippin: Emerald hating Carlotta is to be expected, but the Riversongs faced some
unexpected news...
Nic: I don't want to go! I'm pretty sure I have another child on the way. Can't you at least let me meet my thirdborn child?
Grim: Eh, I'm kind of on a schedule, so no.
Consignment Clerk: (glare)
Pippin: Rest in peace,
Adam Levine from Maroon 5 Nic Riversong. You have helped this family tremendously, even as you passed on.
