I am super late to this party! I had started reading this back in...June, maybe?...but never finished. Now that I have, it looks like the story's on a brief hiatus. Ah well. Loving it so far! (And totally not unfairly cheering more for the Redhead bloodline)
EDIT: My daughter and I now have Sims 4, so now that I understand the game more, my mind is even more blown by how amazingly well you're doing with this! It's possible I may be planning on starting my own Rivalry Dynasty and using your layout as the blueprint (and definitely giving you credit in the write-up!).
