Confessions of a Sims 3 Addict

 It's time to wrap up Season 4 of the Sagehen Mesa Series. The overlord has noticed a disturbing trend. The younger generations are showing a disinterest in finding partners and starting families. This will not stand! Time to coax them along in solving this population crisis. We have no pregnancies, no babies, only one toddler (Adan, son of Clancy and Rae Mahon), and no children. We have 7 teens - none of which are forming romantic attachments, and 11 young adults - and of the 11, only two (Tony and Sondra Whiting) are paired up.  Note: Story Progression has been turned off a lot this season due to the overlord wanting to focus on particular stories without the town going nuts, but it's time to turn it back on and provide some nudges in the right direction.  But before we start with forming relationships, 5 members of the teen/young adult group are ready to consider college, so some aptitude testing is in order. The plan is to send 3 of the 5 to college in the (real life)...

 Hi all, Leona speaking. We just got home from Tony's lovely wedding. It was so romantic that Bryon and I danced to the radio into the wee hours of the night. In a matter of days we will officially be empty-nesters. Both our boys have moved out to their own places: Tony to his new home with his new bride, . . .  . . . and Nick to the house by the fishing pond, which he's renting from the Culpeppers. He wondered if the place was haunted, what with it being the former site of a criminal organization. Who knows what kind of dastardly goings-on went on in that place. Nick's got a female roommate named Lelani or something like that. I don't know if they're romantic or not, Nick's awfully closed-mouthed about it. But I do miss seeing my boys in my kitchen getting ready for work in the morning.  I guess all kids grow up at leave at some point. Lara is still living with us, . . .  . . . but she will be graduating high school very soon and will be a young adult tomorrow!...
