What happened to those Sims living in those quaint country houses? Did Betty manage to get her hands onto that 'nice young man'? What happened to the Roths? Did the Greenman family start a nice family of their own? Tell us about it here.
EDIT: This thread would be even better if people wrote what happened on their game as a story. Let's make it more fun! :)

(My game is in German, so I'm not sure about all of the English names)
Leod McGregor (the first Maxis sim I really, really love!) is a very successul farmer now, member of the Garden Club and owner of a Wishing Well. He lives with Gabe O'Mackey - when they greeted each other with a kiss I thought they were made for each other, so Gabe ditched Patricia.
Alexandra O'Mackey moved back home to take care of Jules and started an affair with Stella Roth, who left Monty for her.
Sandra is at college with her (ex-)boyfriend Jacob who Monty started flirting with. She's dating a Kennedy Cox-lookalike that she has great chemistry with, but they almost got in a fight when they first met.
The two old ladies - one of them is married to that distinguished-looking bearded Garden Club guy, the other has a younger lover.
Haven't played the Greenmans and the Indian couple except give them makeovers.
Hope this is enough drama to get this thread going!

Yay, I was waiting for this topic!
Jules/Jacob/Sandra: Sandra Roth may be the first Maxis sim I absolute HATED at first sight! The more I played her, the more I disliked her, lol. Anyway, I read the memories of all three and, to me, it appeared as though Sandra stole Jacob from Jules (though I have heard other interpretations). Immediately I had Jacob and Jules fall back in love again and had Sandra catch Jacob cheating on her. She then caught her mom (who I turned into a Romance sim) cheating on her dad, and basically became angry at the world.
Gabe/Patricia: I was neutral on the Jules/Patricia feud until Pat autonomously began slapping and shoving Jules right in front of Gabe! So, I had Gabe break up with her. He seems to have a thing for Rose Greenman. Anyway, Pat was devastated, but got some consolation lovin' (and a baby!) from roomie Cleo.
Leod: I don't know why, but he bores me, lol. I might make him a Romance sim to make him more interesting.
Viejo house: Aged the ladies down (Catherine is *gorgeous* as an adult!). Andrew seems to fancy the grown Daisy Greenman.
Oh, and there were entirely too many Popularity (my least favorite aspiration) sims in this 'hood! I think I changed about 95% of everyone's aspirations, lol.

Jules/Gabe/Patricia - Gabe started seeing Patricia a lot, and gradually Jules and Patricia became friends. Gabe and Patricia got married in a happy ceramony with a full attendance - all 6 invited came. Jules is seeing Jacob, but so is Sandra. (Lucky him)
Ramashwami - Priya and Sanjay moved into the large house with the big lake and huge garden. They have had twin (almost) identical girls Rochelle and Rihanna, who are now teens. Rochelle is the pretty one, they look almost identical but those small differences makes Rihanna look odd. Rihanna is a werewolf, and the geeky book-smart stereotype. Priya and Sanjay's careers are going slowly, mainly because they're not financially comfortable yet and are still gradually affording furniture and stuff - and have been busy with the garden, although I gave them about $10,000 so they could have a greenhouse, saves them money in the long run. (Hehe, when Rihanna grew up from baby to toddler her hair was short and an emo fringe covering one eye like the singer has). Probably my favourite family, as you can watch them grow.
Greenman - Rose turned Jason into a PlantSim (I have a hack which makes the pollen cloud prank turn the victim into a plantsim). While they were both plantsims, Jason threw a random house party whilst Daisy was a toddler and Rose started an affair with Monty Roth. Not long after, she got pregnant with Jason's baby. Jason then turned back to normal, around the same time Rose turned Monty into a plantsim. On Daisy's birthday Rose had another make-out session with Monty while Jason was in the garden, and Jason's brother - Gabe - saw them, and was very distressed. So far neither Jason nor Monty's wife have discovered the affair. Daisy is now an adult, and a romance sim, and has a crush on Leod, but Leod loves her. Rose and Jason have become parents to a non-plantsim baby boy, Ash. I'm planning for the affair between Monty and Rose to remain undiscovered until their elder years.
Vejo - Not played them, I can't find a good aspect of their 'story' that I like.
Roths - Not really played them, the whole family unit thing is a bit too pristine, so hence the affair Monty is having. Although Monty has over 15 fish in his inventory after having an obsession with fishing at every pond he visits as a visitor.
Leod - Loves Daisy, but done nothing else with him yet.
Alexandra - I like this character a bit. I moved her into that bamboo-hut type house. I'm going to make her have extravagent parties and re-kindle her relationship with Gabe - shes in a small house so she can afford it.

I love the houses in Riverblossom Hills. I also find the storyline more complicated than Pleasantview was, I keep having to read their family bio and memories to remind myself who fancies who, who dislikes who etc. I found Pleasantview filled with cliches, and not more than skin-deep in storyline.

Leod-Made him a pretty girl. They aren't married yet but they're gonna have a kid; I dunno if its twins or not. They have two dogs, Seargent and Chihiro I think. ((And leod's gettin skinnier! YAY!))
Viejo-I'm mean. I TOTALLY ignored the elders and they died XD
Other than that I don't really play the others ^________________^

My Riverblossom Hills has been shaken up seriously after a boring weekend.
Ramaschwami -
Priya - Started having an affair with Gabe. Unfortunatly, both Gabe's wife Patricia and Priya's husband Sanjay walked in while Gabe and Priya were making out. But Sanjay had been cheating on her anyway with Patricia. Shes now moved out and living with Gabe, but she is now also cheating on him with the lothario of Hills - Morty Roth.
Sanjay - Got married to Patricia after leaving Priya, but when she caught him in bed with another woman it was all over. He got kicked out, and is now living alone, and has not been allowed to see his now child-age daughter with Patricia - Ashira.
Rochelle - Got married to a nice townie, and they have a son Dylan. They're the only family who hasn't been caught in the whole Morty Roth scandal. I think.
Rihanna - Moved in with Leod's adoptive son, and they're probably gonna get married soon. But she's having an affair with Morty.
The Roth's - Haven't done anything with them. But...
Morty - I changed him to a love sim cause he looked like one. He started off with an affair with Rose, and then was caught woohooing the maid by his wife, whatever her name is. He then moved out into a small Hills bungalow, and has around 4-5 lovers (including one male). Kinda regretting turning him into a love sim now... it's kinda messed up the whole idyllic neighbourhood thing. Ah well. His lovers are Priya, the maid, Rihanna, Rose, and the male could be Rochelle's husband. The maid has now moved in with him. His story looks more like Don Lotharios every day, cause Don got the maid pregnant after she moved in with him, but Morty's maid isn't visibly pregnant yet.
Patricia - Decided she hated men and raised Ashira (her and Sanjay's daughter) by herself. Shes now living with her girlfriend, who used to be her maid.
That's kinda all I've done, except that Cleo got married to Leod, but Leod fancies the two old women who like him.

G001 is the folder you need to copy to the neighborhood folder in My Documents - Ea Games ...

I had the Greenman's daughter spawn as many plantsims as she could. So I was stuck with many, many plantsims. That kind of sucked having so many, so I started all my neighborhoods over again. Pleasantville was packed full of sims anyway. I have a habit of starting families and building homes just to move on to a new one.

Played this hood a lot till I switched to Veronaville. Here's what I've done.
Roths: Morty Roth is moving up in his career while Sandra has made slow progress due to a very long pregnancy. While her mother was pregnant Sandra went off to college, but not before getting engaged to Jacob, though I think she's secretly dating someone else. Xander became a teenager and is a knowledge sim, following in his father's footsteps, though became quickly and heavily involved with a maxis-sim. I think he already proposed to her and once the his two youngest sibling are teens he's off to college. Sandra, as mentioned, became pregnant. Knew she was only having one child but when Xander got abducted by aliens then returned she literally popped out a second child! (The birthing scene and the abduction-return movies started at the same time. Through InSim I knew she was only having one, but some glitch with the two movies trying to show at the same time made her have twins [boy and girl]). The twins are not as nice looking as their older siblings. Morty started having an affair with a co-worker (and Sandra's friend). They are both knowledge sims so it was purely to see what an affair was like, you know, from a scientific pov. She moved to a nice house in the Downtown area and had son (forget his name).
Greenman: Daisy grew up and had a plant baby girl who in turn had a plant baby boy right away. Rose and Jason are due to have their first real child together. Jason is working on becoming a plantsim the old fashion way.
O'Mackey/McGregor: Jules made sure she left for college before Gabe married Patricia. At school she became good friends with her father's friend Leod. Eventually they dated and he proposed and once she graduated they married. She's currently preggers with their first child. Gabe married Patricia and she became pregnant on their wedding night and had a little girl.
Haven't done anything with the other families quite yet.

I've finally played the Viejo family!
One of the elders has got married to the adult male sim in that house, in a surprise turn out after I discovered that they found each other attractive. That same elder (might be Catherine) is also seeing Leod but he refused woohoo. I really don't like the Viejo house, so I'm taking it out on the Sims xD
My plans for them is to create an old-folks home and get the elders in there, well at least not Catherine (depending on how long the marriage lasts).

28th Oct 2007, 1:47 PM
I didn't do much with them. I gave Leod McGreggor a MAJOR makeover, and hooked him up with an equally made-over Florence Delarosa. Daisy Greenman grew into an adult and Rose had very ugly twins. I also hosted this HUGE Christmas dinner at the Viejo house, which was a lot of fun -- I put like five dining tables in a row, and with boolprop (back then I still boolpropped) I made everyone selectable, and it was such a huge chaos, I was trying to get everyone seated correctly and eating and stuff. But it was fun.
Recently, though, I deleted all my game files, and I'm going to start over. I might get Leod and Florence together again, but I'm not going to give them a surgical make-over -- let's just see what default skintones, eyes and better hair can do!

Jules and Jacob got married.. but not before each had a fling their senior year in college. Jules had twins with a uni townie and another uni townie is currently pregnant with Jacobs'. Also the nanny (the game decided to do this O.o) fell in love with Jacob and had a large melt down at the wedding, while she was supposed to be watching the twins. They had to let her go..
Leod randomly decided to hit on the maid while on vacation and I went with it.. they have two boys now.
I can't remember what else I've done really LMAO. I'll have to take more careful note next I play :D
eta: After many failed attempts at pregnancy, the Ramaschwami family adopted two elementary-aged girls. Recently, they finally managed to have one VERY ugly girl of their own.

Well, if Jules and Jacob married, what happened to Sandra Roth, the girl Jacob left Jules for? Kill her off, did ya? That's what I did.
But then I didn't have enough drama so I resurrected her and made her the serial killer of the Hills, driven crazy by the dreadful loss of her beloved Jacob... whaaaaah!!!!!!111!!!
[/maniac]
So far she's killed two NPCs, Priya Ramaschwami and a whole lot of townies.

23rd Nov 2007, 12:23 AM
McGregor - Managed to snatch up Alexandra O'Mackey, and they have a daughter, Lydia. Leod is homeschooling Lydia and teaching her how to farm so she can take over as he ages. Alexandra is a very successful swashbuckler, but is planning on retiring from piracy soon to start a flower-arranging business. They have a very moody cat named Nikki, who won a fight with a dog twice her size as soon as she became an adult.
O'Mackey - Jules went off to Academie Le Tour, and is living in the same dorm as Sandra and Jacob. Jules managed to win Jacob back right before graduation, but once they got to college, Jacob and Sandra rekindled their fling, so now he's two-timing both of them, and the girls are completely oblivious (I'm sure this won't last long, though) Gabe asked Patricia to move in with him, and they are engaged, but Patricia is set on having the wedding of the century, so it may be a while before they actually tie the knot.
Shikibu - Cleo decided the music career wasn't for her, and decided to turn to a life of crime. She's a very successful bank robber, and is bent on world domination. She had a member of her crew (Barbara, a townie) move in with her. However, after botching a robbery and going through a lengthy legal battle, Barbara decided the life of crime just wasn't for her, and went into EMT training. She loves her job, but she's run into a bit of a snag. She asked out a good friend of hers on a date, and ended up pregnant. If she decides to keep the child, she'll need to move out (the house is so small), and she's not sure if her guy will do the honorable thing and marry her. Cleo, realizing she's lost two housemates to men, decides to try and go on some blind dates to try to find the man of her dreams, and after some horrendous experiences with teenagers and crusty old men, she's finally found a semi-normal guy, Peter, but she's not sure if he's the One.
Aaand, that's all I've really played.

This is the first neighborhood where I've actually played the Maxis characters. Usually I make custom sims and ignore the townies as much as possible.
In an effort to change up my gameplay, I decided that I'd play a different family every time. So far:
The Greenmans - I played them in there original house for a while, but it started to irritate me. (Really? A tree in the middle of the house?) So I moved them into a more reasonable home. I thought it would be interesting to try playing a PlantSim - I hadn't before - but I didn't really get it. So I de-PlantSim-ified Rose, who turned out to be gorgeous. As soon as Daisy grew up, I turned her back too, and moved her into her own bachelorette pad. Oh, and of course everyone got makeovers. I can't stand Maxis clothes/hair/makeup.
The Roths - Just started playing them recently. I love their house, even though I'm not used to playing so many floors. Everyone here got makeovers too, and the house got redecorated in a mostly antique style (another change for me - I usually go modern), with the exception of the kids' bedrooms. Xander just aged up to teen, and Sandra is still a teen (don't know if I'll send her to Uni). Stella has had a couple of rendezvous with Patricia Wan, who I tarted up along with her roommate Cleo Shibiku. But then Stella autonomously kissed Morty in front of Patricia. Silly Stella. Morty apparently didn't wonder why Patricia slapped his wife, and went about his business. After this debacle Stella had a change of heart and recommited to Morty. They recently celebrated the birth of their third child, a girl whose name I can't remember even though she was just born in my last play session.
I've given makeovers to almost everyone else in town, in the interest of esthetics, and played a couple of custom families, and everyone is now mingling nicely. I need to create some more drama, I think. Everything's too nicey-nice. I'll work on that.
Edit: I just thought of a question that occurred to me while playing the Roths for the first time. Any idea why Sandra is darker-skinned than the rest of her family? I play with Enayla's default skintones, so I'm not 100% sure which skintone she is, but I'm pretty sure that she's at least a skintone or two darker than the rest of the fam. I looked in her memories to see if perhaps she was adopted, but nothing there. Any ideas?
Lemon&Lime
29th Feb 2008, 7:33 PM
Maybe its just a textbook Maxis mistake. They put the memories of several sims in Veronavile in the wrong order, so it wouldn't surprise me if they did something like set a kid with the wrong skintone.

3rd Mar 2008, 2:45 AM
I haven't tried to mess with any of the families there yet.
I started to get involve with the homes, but I always seem to mess up the family that is already there. I think it's just badluck but every time I play with a family already made, someone ends up dead and everyone just turns for the worst. D;
It makes me sad just thinking about it, but maybe this time I'll be able to do some good with the people in Riverblossom.

When I first got Seasons, I took all my custom content and played in Riverblossom. I love playing with plantsims for some reason, they get rather annoying though when you have to run them to a sink for their repetitive [is that the right word?] water need. I made Rose have 5 more children, grew them up, killed Rose's husband [?] knocked the house down, made a small plantsim waterpark, and thats where I left off, actually. xD
Sometimes I just have sudden urges to make waterparks. Ah well. x3

Something strange happened to my Ottomas family in Riverblossom...
When the mom (I forget her name) had the twins, the father wasn't her husband... but Patricia O'Mackey?! I forget her maiden name but I married her to Gabe so that's her name now...

Yes, this happens to everyone, though the "father" isn't always Patricia; sometimes people have even had stray dogs showing as the other parent! The pregnancy is completely borked and shipped that way with the game. I fixed this by aborting the crazy pregnancy and re-impregnating Samantha with twins again via InSIM...this time with Peter as the father!

26th Mar 2008, 12:08 AM
I've only been playing Riverblossom Hills since I got my new computer! I know a lot of people don't like the underdeveloped stories, but I'm really partial to this hood. ^^
Greenman
It shall be noted that I love the creatures that EA ships with each expansion pack. I like to play them in Strangetown and in some custom hoods, but...I didn't like the whole plantsim angle for Riverblossom Hills. Rose was cured of plantsimism and so was Daisy (I had to age her up, cure her, and age her back down). I also moved them out of their bulky house and across the street from Jason's brother Gabe. Since no one was particularly green in the family any more, I also reverted their surnames back to O'Mackey. Jason and Rose have a little girl named Violet, and Rose is pregnant again. Daisy is best friends with her "cousin" Jules and with Sharla Ottomas.
Martin
I moved Andrew and Jacob Martin out on their own - I'm not sure why they were living with their deceased mom/grandmother's two friends. It seemed odd to me. I haven't played these two much yet, but I am probably going to marry Andrew to Alexandra O'Mackey. I think that might be a fun scenario, with Jules O'Mackey's ex-boyfriend now her stepbrother...lol!
McGreggor
Oh, Leod. XD I played up the whole "unfriendly farmer" angle so he spends most of his days taking care of his crops and running Town Center Grocery. While at the store one day, he met a townie with the most unlikely name of La Shawn Jitmakusol (lol). He subjected her to a swift wooing and they were married within two days. La Shawn is an astronaut with incredible skill points. She's also extremely young compared to Leod and I have no idea what a young, successful astronaut might see in a reclusive, middle-aged farmer, but they are in love. ^^ La Shawn just gave birth to daughter Morven (named after one of Leod's relatives), and the family adopted Grimalkin the dog.
O'Mackey
The family has grown since Gabe asked Patricia Wan to move in with him. She also brought her best friend, Cleo Shikibu. I used this family to test out some Bon Voyage spots, so they are well-traveled! Gabe and Patricia got married on a community lot church and immediately went on their honeymoon, which the game seemed to not register...? The game considers them "engaged" still, but oh well. This time I'll marry them without a honeymoon. ;) And at least now they'll have better wedding photos - La Shawn McGreggor showed up wearing a Mrs. Claus outfit as her formal attire the first time around! Also, Patricia is pregnant and, most amusingly, Cleo and Jules have started a romance with the help of Inteen. They also adopted Kim the stray cat.
Ottomas
This family is the hardest for me to play. I am not used to such large families, and had to move Dora out. I also had to redesign their home a few times, as they all sleep upstairs and it is very crowded. Peter autonomously kissed Alexandra O'Mackey when they came as the welcome wagon to Sanjay and Priya's house, but nothing has resulted from it so far. I fixed Samantha's borked pregnancy with InSim, and she had twins Will and Dorinda (named after her grandma). David is leaving for college in a few days, Sharla is a teenager, and Tommy a child. The kitten Cymmi is also part of the family. I had Samantha purchase the clothing store and renamed it "Ottomas Outfitters," lol! She's putting those 20 days of vacation leave to good use!
Ramaswami
I moved Sanjay and Priya into the tiki-decorated house, and decked it out with a mixture of more tiki, Morrocan, and Central Asian furnishings. They are an eclectic family. ^^ They have three children together - Ram, Sanju, and Lucky (all characters from the Bollywood movie Main Hoon Na, one of my favorites). Sanju and Lucky are twins; I was having trouble getting Priya to conceive again (I use the Silent Pregnancy option on Inteen; there is no "Try for Baby" option), so I let her use the fertility pills. Now she's on the opposite route; three children is more than enough for that small house!
Roth
As I was giving them makeovers (as I do with all Maxis sims), I realized Xander makes a very cute Harry Potter lookalike! XD I haven't played with this family much, but I am definitely having Sandra get pregnant by her boyfriend, Jacob Martin. I just downloaded some teen maternity conversions for H&M Stuff (http://www.insimenator.net/showthread.php?t=73568) and Teen Style Stuff (http://www.insimenator.net/showthread.php?t=73567), and I want to put them to good use. ;)
Viejo
After the Martins moved out, I moved Dora Ottomas in with them to start a swinging old granny pad. XD Then I got the bright idea to renovate the upstairs portion of the house. The Viejo home is now "Riverblossom Senior Center." I moved some other elderly townies in and assigned each sim their own small room, courtesy of the Uni dorm doors. Betty and Dora have each found love again through twojeff's ACR hack, but Catherine seems content to spend longs hours playing the piano or mahjong with the other residents, having switched aspirations from romance to knowledge. :)

I've only played the Ottomans so far. Sarah just gave birth to two girls. I named them Marie and Stinna. Peter (the dad - my game is in Danish so I'm not too sure about their English names) is listed as the other parent of the twins. No townie/cat/dog/stray/whatever... The family no longer lives in Riverblossom Hills, they live in my custom hood.

Greenman - Daisy grew up and her parents had human twins, one with light skin and one with dark skin. Cool. :D
Roth - I fking hate Sandra. I got revenge on her by making her have twins. That is all.
O'Whatstheirname - Gabe accidentally fell in love with one of my born-in-game sims, Lynn, and I had to split them up so he wouldn't blow it with Patricia. o.o
Ottomas - Samantha had twins and I named one Shania after some kid
I know that died of cancer, and I forget the boy's name.
everyone else- Didn't touch them except for giving them makeovers.
I also started up this one sim by myself called Holly Baker who promptly married a plantsim and started up a garden, and lived in that big spacious house with a greenhouse, a pool with a fountain in it, and a deck with red wood. After that she had six kids who made her around 7878787878787878787878787878787878787878787878787878787878787878787878787878787878786394 grandchildren, and then she died and now she has approximately 5 great-grandchildren... but it doesn't feel the same because she's dead. >.> So I'm gonna stop all of her descendants from reproducing and they'll just all die so I can move her back in her house, and restart. Another idea I have is downloading HP's OMGULTRASUPERMEGA7INONE neighbourhood and restarting her story except this time without all the house fires and trapping all the newspaper-stealers in a fence and then killing them off.

The only household that I have played is the Wan family. Pat was dating Gabe and he cheated on her with Cleo (seriously not my doing... they autonomously did that) in front of Pat and then had the NERVE to go upstairs and woo-hoo while Pat was down stairs pissed off! Anyway, she attacked Gabe and kicked his azz and kicked him out forever!
She was mad at Cleo for awhile, but I had them fall for one another and they have a baby on the way! :) I plan to have them married soon. They have a wonderful garden, a nice car, and they are getting themselves set in their careers before I have Cleo give birth.

Patricia and Cleo are gonna have a baby on your game? Wow. I think I made Patricia a lesbian on my game after Gabe and her broke up (the maid moved in with her) but yeah... I made a huge amount of plot changes in one playing session and really regretted it all. Never played them again.

I always use this neighborhood but only because I think it's so pretty. :)
Alexandra moved into the Tiki style house and she quickly started a relationship with Leod. They've been dating for a while but they haven't gotten engaged. He absolutely adores her but she loves to date tons of other people too. She loves him too so I guess he can remain blissfully unaware of her other "men". (They're my avatar. I love them.)
Jacob, Jules, and Sandra went to college and Jules made it her mission to break Jacob and Sandra up but she never could. After graduation, Jules found her own place and she isn't giving up on Jacob. Sandra moved back in with her parents and (out of my control) Jacob and Stella started flirting. O_o; They're together now and Sandra is with one my custom sims and Morty is just playing the field.
Andrew set his sights on Chloe but she rejected him at every turn so Andrew decided to get a little loving from his housemates. He fell in love with both Catherine and Betty but he ended up married to Betty. He figured that she'd die soon and he could get some serious cash or something. :P
Gabe proposed to Patricia but she turned him down so he kicked her butt to the curb. He's turned into a serial dater and he can't really see to find anyone he really likes. Patricia is alone because I hate her.
I don't know why but I turned Sanjay gay as soon as I started playing. The matchmaker set him up with the Komei-looking jock at Academie Le Tour and they started an affair under Priya's nose, while she was pregnant with their son. She finally caught them when their son was a toddler and she kicked him out. Sanjay wanted to get married to the Academie guy so I went into his lot so I could finish his college, but he was rooming with this other guy and THEY started having an affair and Sanjay didn't find out until the Academie guy moved in with him. Right now, Sanjay AND Priya are alone but Priya has their son who is a young teen.

In my Megahood:
Roth: I decided I wanted to combine the Roth and Goth families via marriage so Sandra married Alexander Goth. After Mortimer died, Bella started an affair with Morty that Stella doesn't know about yet. I'm thinking of hooking Xander up with Cassandra and Don Lothario's daughter eventually.
Greenman
Rose had three bolts with Darren Dreamer and I was going to have him hook up with her (in spite of his live in girlfriend - also three bolts), but a fire changed my plans and killed Rose and Jason. Daisy was taken by the social worker.
Martin
Andrew is involved with Lola from Strangetown. They're engaged. Jacob spends all of his free time (and I do mean all of it) playing video games in the living room. He's extremely dull. I can only hope he gets more interesting in college.
Viejo
Betty married Kent Capp but doesn't realize he's only in it for her money. He's having an affair with one of the male streaker from college on the side. Catherine spends her time gardening and ignoring all the drama.
McGreggor
Leod is living with Jennifer and Lucy Burb now after John died. Lucy doesn't like him much.
O'Mackey
Gabe is one of Chloe Singles's love toys. He really wants Erin, though. He's still seeing Patricia as well, but she never rolls any romantic wants for him as she's very focused on her career.

Only played Leod so far.
He impregnated a woman who had 6 other children and a husband! He was beaten in a fight by the man, who found out and never returned to the house. Leod's child was named Jesabel and was raised by the father and mother, and never met sad lonely Leod.
The Father then remarried with Jesabel after the mother died in a sick pseudo-incestuous relationship. They have a daughter called Lillith, the father is shortly to die.

Well I...
Moved the Rawaswami Family into a nice house in Riverblossum Hills and they had a daughter named Rihanna who just turned a teenager and on her birthday Priya gave birth to a baby girl who I named Ass'iah. So that's really it. They are my favorite family!
That's all I have played with. I guess I'll edit this post with more updates. :D

I haven't played any of the familes except for McGreggor and O'Mackey.
Gabe came over to visit Leod and they greeted each other by kissing (I actually wasn't expecting that one). I decided to forget that Patricia chick and put Leod and Gabe together in one house. I think one of them is pregnant, but I restarted my game and haven't played that 'Hood since.

Another idea I have is downloading HP's OMGULTRASUPERMEGA7INONE neighbourhood and restarting her story except this time without all the house fires and trapping all the newspaper-stealers in a fence and then killing them off.
I have found that the security hoverbot works great against newspaper stealers.

Jules/Jacob/Sandra: Sandra Roth may be the first Maxis sim I absolute HATED at first sight! The more I played her, the more I disliked her, lol. Anyway, I read the memories of all three and, to me, it appeared as though Sandra stole Jacob from Jules (though I have heard other interpretations). I just got Seasons. I don't really see how the idea of Sandra stealing Jacob works, though. According to his memories, he and Jules broke up before he ever met Sandra. Am I missing something? I know that sometimes two different (pre-made) sims remember things happening in different orders. Is that the case here?
Anyway, I've just started playing, and so haven't done much with the characters yet. If Rose rolls the want, I'll turn her human again. Trying to turn her husband into a plantsim, now. Will wait for the baby to get older for them to have a child.
Trying to get Jules and her soon-to-be-stepmother to get along. Will keep the parents apart and let their negative relationship just turn into 0/0 relationship. I want to see how Jules will get along with the Ottomas boy (David?), since I like to pair up playables, but they haven't met yet in my game.
Trying to repair the Ottomas and Roth marriages. My Ottomas twins haven't been born yet, but I have them in a house that will accommodate them.
I haven't really decided what I'm doing with the rest of them yet.

Leod McGregor's house annoys me. I tried playing him once.
He's house is too...Old style'ish. It's boring and plain. And that plant sim family. Kind of weird. I actually cured Rose, and her Daughter daisy. And then had the husband get a normal girlfriend. Aren't I evil?:P

I've only played 3 sim bin families yet but here's what happened:
Alexandra O'Mackey had a baby son, Joshua. His dad is Gabe O'Mackey. She looked so lonely on her own so I impregnated her with InSIM and pretended that she was already pregnant when they broke up.
Ottomas had their twins, boy and girl (Simon and Sarah), Tommy learned all his toddler skills, Sharla is straight A+ student and David is about to become overachiever. All without cheats, what I am very proud of. I thought this family is going to be a real challenge, but it's not that bad.
Ramaswamis had a baby girl, Rajni (means Night in Hindu, as long as I know) and Sanjay met his soon to be lover, some townie girl which he has very strong chemistry with (I just couldn't ignore such chemistry..).

Haha, I'm going to break this silence ;)
I played first RbH's just when I started playing TS2. Then I deleted all premade families and made a two CAS-sims to live in the hood. I wanted those two to get married, and I did everything the hard way :D That is 1) using the first time testingcheats, 2) getting that way my male pregnant with his future wife, by accident
, 3) suffered with the first born syndrome every.single.time when a new baby was on the way... And ended up with the family of 9 sims where all kids indeed looked the same :D
The second time I wanted to play with pre-made's so I started a storyline challenge in there. It's still going on, when ever I get inspiration to play with them (I have way too many hood's in my game!). A quick peak...
Roth: Stella left her family and divorced Monty. She moved to her own house and eventually fell in love with Leod McGregor. They have now two kids, Stina and Samuel. They both have the cutest buffy cheeks from their father. Stella is now an elder, and Leod isn't far away from that himself.
So, Monty continued living in their house with the kids. Sandra went to college, after beeing dumped by Jacob. Eventually she moved back to the main hood, and is now waiting to start her own life.She fell inlove at Sim State with a pre-made sims, I think his name was Kevin? He lived with Castor Nova and others.
Monty and Xander got two dogs and started raising puppies. After Xander became a teen, he wanted to move to his own place with the dogs and as soon as he got into the taxi, Monty died alone upstairs.
O'Mackey: Gabe and Patricia Van got married and she moved in with the family. Eventually Jules and Pat became friends. Jules left to college after re-united with Jakob, they dropped out and moved back to the main hood. Now they live in their own little house and are going to have their first child soon.
Gabe and Pat had a baby boy, Jonah (he's in the ugly sim-thread...). After that Pat became pregnant again and had another boy. He's still an infant and I can't remember the name... anyway. I guess their kids will suffer from low self-esteem, since they look... interesting.
Alexandra lived for a while in a small apartment, then she met Jason Larson and they got married. She gave birth to a baby girl (if I remember correctly...), who's name is disappeared from my head. She's still an infant too.
Greenman: I turned Rose back to being a normal sim and she's beautiful! Also Daisy got cured and went to college. Rose and Jason got twins, a girl and a boy. They are still infants. And they moved away from that terrible house the first day I played with them!
Viejo: Both elders died on the same day. That's it. Andrew and Jakob Martin moved to their own house, Andrew got married to Cleo Shikibu and they had a boy. Don't remember his name, either... He's now a child. Jakob went to college with Jules, as I told before.
Ramaswami: they moved to their own house and Priya got pregnant. They had a girl.
Ottomas: the granny moved out and died in her tiny apartment after a HUGE surgery. The rest of the family lives in a small house with their kids. Samantha got a miscarriage and lost her twins, but they adopted two babies, a girl and a boy. The eldest boy, David (??) went to college and is still there.

This is very long...but a LOT has happened...
Alexandra O'Mackey set herself up in a tiny lil bungalow and her welcome party consisted of a garden club member (Toby, I think...), Leod McGreggor and, I think, her former brother-in-law Jason Greenman. She spent ages chatting to and fishing with the 3 of them and over the next few days her relationship with Leod grew into friendship and then took a romantic turn. It wasn't long before she found herself pregnant with his child. After giving birth to a baby boy (Justin) she remained living in her tiny place, where there wasn't anywhere to put a cot, so poor Justin slept on the floor (don't tell the social...)! Leod finally proposed and Alexandra and Justin moved into his place where I've turned his empty barn into an area to sell his produce from as a home business. I also added more garden plots and fruit trees! They got married and have since had another son, Tyler, who is still a baby (Justin is now a child). Leod is friends with Gabe and Jules, but Alexandra is struggling to get back in their good books!
Gabe O'Mackey slowly introduced Patricia Wan more into his life to allow Jules time to get to know her better. By the time Jules was ready to go to college, her dad had married Patricia and they had a toddler daughter (Gabriella, who is now a child).
Jules was very bitter about losing Jacob Martin to Sandra and was rather determined to get him back! Jacob, however, wasn't willing to forget about Sandra but did quite easily give in to Jules and started dating them both! After a short while, Jules found out that she was pregnant and it could have ruined her chance of going to college, but as her dad and Patricia had just had a baby of their own, they agreed to look after little Joseph until she returned.
At the Greenman's I got a lil carried away with the whole plantsim thing and ended up having Rose spawn another 4 plantbabies! Only one of them (the first) was a boy, Florent, and he grew up into a romance sim. The other 3 are Tulip, Petal and Blossom. I made Daisy a family sim and for a while she was working in the medical career, but has now given that up so she can be a full-time mum to her baby boy, Morley. Rose and Jason also had a baby together who is called Jasmine.
Stella Roth felt a bit lonely with her husband off on his various adventures and had a few flings before starting up an affair with Florent Greenman. She became pregnant with his baby and because Morty was thrilled at the idea of there being another child, Stella decided to try and make their marriage work again. However, when the baby boy (Francis) was born, it became quite clear to Morty that he wasn't the father...so, he and Xander moved out (after emptying the bank account) and into his cousin's (Betty Goldstein) home while Sandra stayed put for a couple of days as she was about to leave for college anyway. Stella then moved Florent in so Francis could have his dad around.
Morty kinda lost his mind a bit after the divorce and spent a lot of time by himself outside at night, where he met Moonshine (leader of the pack). After a few nights of petting and playing, Morty had become very fond of the wolf and the wolf of him...and Moonshine gave him a lil nibble!
From living with Catherine Viejo, Morty also rapidly built up a great relationship with her and eventually, one wintery afternoon he proposed to her! Catherine, having spent her life flitting from man to man, was now aware of how little time she had left in the world and said yes! They prepared to get married that weekend, and Stella, Florent and Francis were even invited (and turned up!!) Unfortunately, after the service but before the end of the party, Grimmy turned up and took Catherine away! That night, Morty went out front and starting howling at the moon...a few local wolves heard him and appeared, he greeted them and ended up adopting them as his own small pack (there's 4 of them). However, they don't all get on brilliantly and fight a lot with each other (even those they do like!) and other visiting wolves...so there's a lot of running away!
Andrew Martin begun to feel very nervous, with a constant fear of Morty howling and a persistent want for him to be cured! Eventually he decided he couldn't put up with it anymore and moved in with his girlfriend Cleo Shikubu.
It was around this time that Morty met Daisy Greenman, and they started spending a lot of time together talking through the night (whilst he was a wolf) about their supernatural ways. Because of Daisy's unique needs, Morty had a hot tub installed and garden light above. One night ACR took over and took their relationship that bit further...resulting in Daisy having her son!
Xander has now started college, but is still living with his dad as he loves the wolves too and really wants to follow in his dad's footsteps (or, uh, should that be pawprints?) and become a werewolf! He also wants to ultimately be a mad scientist.
Meanwhile, Betty Goldstein had met, become friends with and fallen in love with Malcolm Landgraab IV...and the feeling was mutual. So they got married and she moved in with him. Then died not too long after... Malcolm was gutted and kept breaking down in tears for days after. He eventually decided that he'd need to move on and find someone new (and younger) if he was going to have an heir. That's when he met a townie called Gretchin Chin. They married and had a baby boy (Malcolm V, now a child) but Betty doesn't seem to approve because she keeps scaring Malcolm and seems to float around following Gretchin!
The Ottomas family live in a reasonably large, though sparsely furnished house outside of the town centre. Samantha had twin girls, Dora (named after her grandmother) and Tara, who are now teens. Then got pregnant again! Grandmother Dora lived long enough to catch the birth of her 6th grandchild, another girl (Frankie, now a child) but had died before Sharla gave birth to the paperboy's (River) daughter (Bracken, now a child - ACR has so much to answer for!!).
Sharla and River then got married as soon as they were old enough and studied hard while looking after their daughter. They have just moved out of the Ottomas home into a small trailer to give themselves more space, and have both started college. Tommy is a teen and working on getting scholarships as well as spending time writing on his blog (journalism career) and meeting girls, though he hasn't met anyone special yet. The twins are sort of opposites of each other, with Dora being happiest making and having fun with friends and Tara just wanting to learn more about anything and everything! Lil Frankie seems to have made a good impression on Malcolm V, so maybe one day will have a much better way of life?
Jacob Martin, Jules O'Mackey, David Ottomas and Sandra Roth all went off to college with a CAS and a townie (Christopher Platz). They spent their freshman year in a dorm where both Jules and Sandra soon found themselves brushed aside by Jacob when he met a dormie called Brittany (3 bolts). Jules wasn't too bothered as she'd become rather close to Christopher (also 3 bolts) but Sandra still loved Jacob more than anyone else. That was until the end of their sophomore year when she met Joshua Ruben! By that time I'd moved them all into a 3 story house and it was rather fun to play (though took ages to get through a semester) because there was always something going on!
Eventually the original 7 students in the house (everyone except Joshua, who is younger) graduated with varying GPAs. Sandra and Brittany both left pregnant thanks to ACR and risky woohoo. Jacob and Brittany have moved in with his dad (who married Cleo, and they have had a baby girl, Victoria) and Brittany gave birth to a daughter who they named Elena after Jacob's mum (he's absolutely besotted with her!) while Sandra has moved in with her dad and brother and had twin girls, Chelsea and Santana. Jules and Christopher have collected Joseph from her dad's care and the 3 of them have moved into a tiny 2 bed bungalow. David has moved into a really tiny lil studio flat, rather than rejoining his crowded family.

Gabe had an affair with Cleo. Patricia found out and dumped him. She got really mad at Cleo. Cleo wanted her friend back though so she tried to be nice and get her a new boyfriend. She set her up with Leod. Leod ended up falling in love with Cleo though. They dated for like...1 day before he caught her cheating with Gabe (again). They got in a huge fight. During the fight Patricia made a move on Leod because she figured they would break up anyways and she was desperate. Leod rejected her because he intended on getting back together with Cleo. He agreed to not break up with her but if she ever came close to another man again it was over. This whole speedbump in the relationship is turning out to be really bad for Cleo though because she wanted to be able to move in with Leod before Patricia kicked her out (Shes still mad about the gabe thing)
Jules was thrilled when Gabe and patricia broke up, because she hated patricia. Gabe kept thinking they would get back together though. Jules didnt want them to so she set her dad up on a series of blind dates with random women she met at the market. He got mad and sent them all home, but later he admitted he really liked one of them. He wouldnt date her though because he was still waiting for Patricia to come back. He became very sad and stopped doing everything. Jules had to run the household alone.
The viejos didnt do anything
A disease that only affects plantsims spread to the town. Jason insisted Daisy become a human so she didnt get sick. So she did and shes the cutest toddler. Jason suggested Rose become human too but she didnt want to. She eventually agreed but she spawned another plantbaby first. The new baby, violet, got sick almost instantly. They tried to change her into a human too but it was too late. She now functions as a human but has plantsim hair and skin. idk how that happened.
morty roth befriended a CAS named regina. she was a single mother to a baby girl named alexa. When regina died in a kitchen fire morty adopted her baby. Stella got mad because she though this meant morty loved regina and had probably had an affair with her before she died. Stella refused to interact with Alexa and eventually divorced morty and left. She thought Jason greenman would leave rose for her but of course he didnt. She ended up alone

Yay, I was waiting for this topic!
Jules/Jacob/Sandra: Sandra Roth may be the first Maxis sim I absolute HATED at first sight! The more I played her, the more I disliked her, lol. Anyway, I read the memories of all three and, to me, it appeared as though Sandra stole Jacob from Jules (though I have heard other interpretations). Immediately I had Jacob and Jules fall back in love again and had Sandra catch Jacob cheating on her. She then caught her mom (who I turned into a Romance sim) cheating on her dad, and basically became angry at the world.
Gabe/Patricia: I was neutral on the Jules/Patricia feud until Pat autonomously began slapping and shoving Jules right in front of Gabe! So, I had Gabe break up with her. He seems to have a thing for Rose Greenman. Anyway, Pat was devastated, but got some consolation lovin' (and a baby!) from roomie Cleo.
Leod: I don't know why, but he bores me, lol. I might make him a Romance sim to make him more interesting.
Viejo house: Aged the ladies down (Catherine is *gorgeous* as an adult!). Andrew seems to fancy the grown Daisy Greenman.
Oh, and there were entirely too many Popularity (my least favorite aspiration) sims in this 'hood! I think I changed about 95% of everyone's aspirations, lol.
I agree with you about the sandra roth thing. Just by looking at her i hated her! She as an ugly outfit, plus shes load and obnoxius, my favorite sim in riverblossom hills hates her (Jules). I started reading stuff about her online and i hated her even more... anyways she died, someone mysteriously locked her in a room and took out all the furniture

For awhile I basically ignored the premade sims in Riverblossom Hills, but when I re-installed my game, I decided to take a break from Pleasantview and play Riverblossom Hills....and now I have a story I can tell! :)
The only premade Riverblossom Hills sim I've really played is Leod McGreggor. First, he decided he wanted to be a father so he adopted a little Chinese girl (she was a toddler at the time) named Ming (he wanted to honor her heritage). Shortly after adopting Ming, Leod met a sim I'd created in CAS. Her name is Willow Mapes, and, like Leod, she adopted a toddler girl. Her daughter's name is Fiona. Willow and Leod hit it off, but decided to take things slowly for the sake of their daughters (although now that I think about it, "slow" may not be the best term to use, considering that, thanks to ACR, they woohooed very soon after meeting...and continued to do so at least once per date! :rolleyes:). With Ming and Fiona having recently become children, however, Leod and Willow have finally decided to take the next step. They are currently engaged, and hope to marry soon. They are also hoping to give their daughters a sibling!
The family will live in Leod and Ming's farmhouse....which is badly in need of a woman's touch! :)

Nothing. I can't stand Maxis families. When you start the game they're practically PERFECTLY set up for THEIR storyline to pan out, and when you actually make everything happen they're boring. The houses in Riverblossom Hills are revolting, too.

*Leod McGregor has a border collie dog. Has horses, cows and pigs at his farm. Dressed him farmer clothing, not that Scotland kilt. He looks more like a farmer than just a loner with his crop plants. He tends crop plants to make his living with country music, Pete his dog, and keeps friendship with neighbors.
*Makeover Patricia Wan and Cleo Shikibu more like modern and young Chinese and Japanese ladies. I hate Cleo looks like old woman in Asian stereotypes, so I added J-style to suit her perfectly to her music career. In my opinion they are previously city Sims to spend their lives in rural village. They have most modern lifestyle than any others in their neighborhood. Patricia tries to win over Jules O'Mackey's heart while she's dating her father, Gabe.
*Makeover Roth's family! Sandra has a decent clothing like other country girls', normal glasses for Xander, decent mid-wife clothing for Stella. Decorating their almost-empty house with decent country furnitures. Sandra succeed to win over Jacob's heart while she loves to troll Jules so much. Xander trapped between his study or gaming. Morty and Stella are loving each other, try to get the best of quality time for family together, even they are mostly busy with their personal tasks.
Only three of them are my faves. The rest of them I just makeover them with country clothing that suit them well then don't play them at all.
I keep the storyline for pre-made Sims naturally. I don't aging them, don't like to mess their lives out of Maxis' scenario :p

9th Feb 2012, 11:15 PM
Ugh.. just managed to delete my super long, lovely detailed written post.. So again. Less lovely detailed written. Grrr.
Riverblossom Hills is the first Maxis neighbourhood I acutally play, I usually make a custom one and put my selfsim and a few other families in... but when I started over this time, I was too lazy to create new houses and all that :P
so..
- McGregor: (his surname in German is acutally "Bauer" which means "farmer" ... very creative) after I gave the two old ladies a try I married him to Cleo, they have two little (ugly) girls and Leod is an elder now. Before the first daugther was born, they threw a few very amusing parties during which Morty started an affair with Rose Greenman. Her husband Jason never noticed though... I had planned to let Leod start a farming home business, but he never was so successful with his plants.. now that he has the gold badge he at last managed to harvest some at all, before that they had died all the time... and as he's an elder now, maybe the old ladies get another chance when they invite him over to tea.
- O'Mackey: Gabe and Pat married and Pat's pregnant. Jules and Pat didn't get along well together, every now and then they started their little fights. But Gabe didn't mind if his wife was slapping his daughter until she saw stars, so it didn't seem necessary to me to befriend them. And it was more action that way! Jules got a makeover and got back together with Jacob (who's still in a relationship with Sandra). Sadly she never got a job in the journalism career (just never showed up) but had to watch her detested stepmother slowly moving up the career track to become a famous text checker! O tempora o mores! Jules aged up and went to college where she shares a dorm with her old enemy Sandra. They've a neutral relationship now. Maybe they become friends one day. Until Jacob joins the party. Of course he'll be in the same dorm too - for convenience.
- Alexandra O'Mackey. That's the most amusing story. I moved her in that little pirate style hut and let her befriend Jules again. Then I decided she deserved a little fun after the divorce and all that. She indeed hat a lot of fun. With many people. Thanks to ACR she soon had affairs with Morty Roth, Andrew Martin, Jason Greenman, her ex- brother- in- law, and even with pregnant Pat, Gabe's new wife. Everybody was happy, no one was jealous. Until Alex threw a party to inaugurate her new whirlpool. She happily whooed with one lover after the other when somebody fell in love with her. Then hell broke loose. First Pat caught her cheating (don't ask me with whom), got very angry and left. She still walk by a few times every day and kicks over Alex' trashcan. After Pat, Morty caught Alex cheating with Andrew. They fought two times, party was over. Morty also visits her a few times every day to knock over the trash can. Finally I got Alex pregnant with twins and moved her into a new house. I found a solution for the trash problem and bought her the compost bin. All the garbage goes in there and the trashcan can rest in peace on the street. She still misses the newspaper though - less stuff to compost! When Alex was still in the pirat hut, the gypsie dropped the geenie lamp. She wished for wealth and beauty and so every day lots of sims rang her doorbell even in the night so she got up several times - those evil stalkers! It was really funny, nearly every playable male sims and also a lot female sims visited her. For example Sandra Roth and also all the wives of her lovers. Only one sim didn't surrender her: my self sim's husband (who I created after my RL boyfriend). I was really pleased with him! So Alex gave birth to twin boys, Jan and Fynn (the most pirate like names I could think of) who turned out to be Jason Greenman's sons. I wonder if Rose finds out...
- Roth: Morty had affairs with Rose Greenman and Alex O'Mackey and I think with someone else I forgot. His wife Stella (huge makeover) found out about Rose and was very displeased. She refused to share a bed with him for a long time. She's calmed down again but their marriage will never be the same. I'm sure she'll have her revenge. Sandra also got a huge makeover and kept on going steady with Jacob. She was pretty dumb in school but managed to go to college in the last second. As mentoined above, she's now in a dorm with Jules and awaiting Jacobs return. Xander is a teen now and pretty boring. I don't like him much, he's strange somehow.
- The old ladies' household (I still couldn't figure out which one is which in the original version): The one with the hat - got a makeover and doesn't wear a hat anymore - moved back into her old house as Pat and Cleo are married. And also the other old lady is married again! In German she's called "Nicole von der Palme" (veeeery stupid name!) . So Nicole married her houseguest Andrew Martin. Probably she wanted to get rid of her stupid surname. And she's a horny old lady! That's actually the only possible explanation for the Martins living with the old ladies: Andrew's a loser in his job, then his mommy and wife died and nobody was there to pay his bills. So he needed someone to give him a roof over his head. And it gets better, one of that old women has a crush on him, so he marries her and waits until he inherits the house and never has to worry about money again and his son and him can become professional gamers! The plan went well.. As you know, Morty caught Alex cheating on him with Andrew. So he frequently comes over to knock over his trash can too! When Nicole threw a party, Morty came over too and started a fight with Andrew. Auntie Nicole didn't mind and kissed and hugged dear Morty because it was so nice that he came over! Jacob is still a teenager but can't wait to join his girls in college. I'm sure they won't only have a pillow fight then.
- Greenman: I didn't really play them yet, their house really is terrible! They are more active when they're invited over. Very active. I just aged Lily up and cured her so far and I think Rose is pregnant now with Jason's baby. I wonder if she ever finds out about his other kids.
- Indian family: There was an Indian family?!
The last family left is my self sim's. She's married to a wonderful husband, they have two sons and one daughter, who all look pretty and are good in school, they're both successful and have neither affairs with Morty nor with Alex and the plants in their garden are the happiest you've ever seen. Now they are.. Yes, at least one family keeps up the good reputation of Riverblossom Hills!

Oh, dear. I hope you aren't too attached to this iteration of the neighborhood, as this is a surefire way to bork up your neighborhood. Although it might be a long time before it starts to show.
For the safety of your future neighborhoods, and the minimization of damage to this one, here's some light reading:

If you don't want sims cluttering up your family bin, you can load empty stealth neighborhoods to begin with, or in existing neighborhoods turn them into townies, or use them to seed the adoption pool (but use an editing tool to remove any preexisting relationships or jobs). I find their existence doesn't bother me if I can't see them, so I just don't open the families tab in neighborhood view unless I need to move somebody in.

I did an experiment with Daisy Greenman - let her age to adult, and then tried out the lot debugger and was able to upgrade her pre-uni. She got the extra want slots, locks, and the ability to do the school cheer. Then I had Rose spawn another plantbaby, and named him Bambie(am a sucker for the movie lol). And of course I had her prank Jason early on with the pollon cloud, since there's a hack I'm using where the pollon cloud changes regular sims into plantsims. He looks human still, due to an alternate overlay I used(Just a little growth) and no leafy plantsim hair. Rose and Daisy still have theirs, but Bambie looks human... he looks really handsome too!

Well, my laptop completly broke a month ago and I had to get a new one so if the deleting of the family has had any impact on the game it doesn't matter anymore.
But thank you for the warning. Actually I know part of this already but I still ignore it. I always delete the families in the bin right at the beginning so there aren't any encounters. And I haven't experienced any problems with this procedure. I just don't like to look at a full bin it disturbes me somehow.
But you are right, next time I'll kill them ;)

Even better, remove your stealth subhoods or install empty stealth subhoods, so that the sim bin sims are never added to your neighborhood at all.

Leod: I married him to Jodie Larson, and they have a little boy named Ewan together. Jodie's pregnant again because they HAD to woohoo right after the baby was born.
Martin: When I first played the house, Andrew was making out (ACR) with Ms. Goldstein. Squick. Jacob started cheating on Sandra with his ex-girlfriend Jules (they have better chemistry). I sent Jacob to college into the same dorm room as Jules, Sandra, and David Ottomas.
Ottomas: I haven't played it much because the unborn twins are going to be Pattie Wan's kids, and I don't want hood corruption. David is in college and went all crazy. He walks around shirtless with a faux-hawk. I also made him a bisexual, but the only romance he is getting is with Sandra, who aren't really into each other anyway.
Roth: Sandra went to college, and found her boyfriend cheating on her, so they broke up. I never liked Sandra. Stella cheated on Morty with a friend of his (A CAS romance sim), and he found out, so they broke up. Morty is also pregnant with an alien baby. I moved the divorced Morty into a Federal Fortress with...
Gabe O'Mackey: He found Pattie Wan cheating on him with the CAS sim from before. After his daughter went off to college, he moved into the Federal Fortress with other single men who were screwed over by their ex-wives. Joining them in the fortress was...
Cyd Roseland: I made him fall in love with Alexandra O'Mackey. They got married and had a little girl named Cynthia. Then, one day, he walked in on his wife cuddling with Jason Larson. Pissed off, he divorced her, took their daughter and their dog, and moved into the single men's home. None of them are gay. They are all waiting excitedly for the birth of Morty Roth's alien child.
Alex O'Mackey: I changed her aspiration to wealth (too many popularity sims). She met Cyd, and fell in love. They got married and had a baby. Then, she met Jason Larson, whom she had three bolts with. She began an affair with Mr. Larson, with her husband finding out. After the divorce, she moved into Jason's home, where they have tons of Woohoo. I haven't married them yet. I might though.
Greenman: haven't played this household much. Rose did have a one night stand with guess who.
Ramaswami: They're still in the family bin, but since they are able to interact from within the bin, Sanjay works at a strip club owned by Gilbert Jaquet. As a male stripper. Awww yeah.
Jalowitz (townie) : he went gay and into college with a different CAS. They're joined and have adopted a little girl named Emmy.
CAS:
Blitzenstern: Originally this family had a mom, dad, two teens, and a girl child. I purposely had the adults fight all the time. Once they fought so much that the stove caught on fire and burned them to a crisp. The two teens and the girl now had to fend for themselves. There was Fritzl, the romantic bad boy, Klaus, the quiet bookworm, and Mitzy, the girl whom despite her state as an orphan became a social butterfly. Fritzl looked after Mitzy while Klaus worked in science to gain a little spare change for the family. Klaus started dating Vince Jalowitz. Fritzl had little luck getting any before college. When Mitzy became a teen, she was unpreoccupied with love. I then sent them to college. Fritzl became quite the ladies man, and Klaus focused on his high school sweetheart. Mitzy met a dormie and fell in love. She wasn't too proactive on taking birth control, so she was pregnant three times in college. Two of those pregnancies ended in abortion, but the third she carried to term. She married David Wilson and had a girl named Eva. When they all graduated, Fritzl became the town womanizer, even if he did live in a trailer home. Klaus married Vince and adopted a child. Mitzy and David moved into their old childhood home with Eva. They have a puppy and are expecting again.
