Nope, Malcolm starts the game out as a Bachelor. Their courtship was quite...eventful and at one point involved Malcolm and Mortimer attacking one another and even at the wedding Mortimer refused to dance with Cassandra

They have two sons by now; Malcolm V and Geoffrey.

interesting. I always see them as knowing each other, well a mixture. Does Mortimer Goth know the down and out Brandi Broke? hmm, not so sure, but it's like Brandi knows Dina and Dina knows Mortimer so some how they are all connected at a varying degree of acquaintance, friendship, lovers and even those that are feuding.

First, good news I am still doing this challenge.
Bad news is I lost the hood starting at post #15 and on, I did find a save at just after the pics were taken of the hood view in post #14.

Most of the babies are born and 3 are now teens, I will not retake any of the pics unless they have major changes in how they look but will put up pics when they age up to adults and on.

In post #14 the 2nd pic is where the hood is at at this time.
I have drop the Tricou part and will only go with the Pleasantview part from here on out. (I may use some of the Tricou's teens as partners to the Pleasantview kids but not all.)
I will continue to keep the secondary name carriers going with this challenge and may still do the 10 gen challenge.

I may put up pics of the kids when they age up past what I have already posted.

Ok the first kids to age up to teen is the Pleasant household.

1st pic is Jeff Pleasant.
2nd pic is Diane Danders.
3rd pic is "they did it" themselves. (I was upstairs with Martin and his age up to child when this happen.)
Its not a flirt because I have flirt locked on both after doing a check out sims option.

Will add a pic of Martin Danders when he ages up to teen. (Secondary name carrier.)

Well they have age up to child now so here are there pics.

1. Bob Newbie.
2. Betty Simovitch.
3. Danny Simovitch. (Secondary name carrier.)

Bob and Betty Newbie will have a male child to become the secondary name carrier for the Newbie family.

I went back in to play more in the Newbie house and to finish up Bob and Danny grow up and Betty comes up to watch and right after she gives Bob a family kiss. WOW
This is the first time I have ever seen none related sims doing a family kiss that was not done by me.

Here is the order I will play in from now on.

I have come to a decision that all the adults and elders except for Cassandra Goth will be very close to the same age, Cassandra Goth will be in the Dustin/Angela age group.

This sounds interesting. I'd like to join.

I just have one question.

One of the names that we have to keep is Langerak. I'm assuming that you're referring to the maid that Don Lothario, and Daniel Pleasant are having an affair with?

So we can just move her in to a lot, and get her pregnant, or have her adopt?

That I don't know of for I am using my The Beginning of Pleasantview hood and Langerak in not in it or any other townie or NPC that is in Pleasantview.

"The Beginning of Pleasantview" http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=521653

Langarek is just an NPC and to play her she must be invited to move in to one of the other families and then have her move out and have a kid out of wedlock.

Thanks for replying.

BTW, I have ALL of your beginning neighborhoods & they're great! Thanks for sharing!

I kind of want to get back into this, but I get the feeling that my strictly matriarchal playstyle might be a little out of place here...

So, I just finished playing with the Burbs.

In addition to Lucy, they now have 3 other children.

There's Dylan, their only son and eventual heir.

Then, there's the twins - Kelly & Lynn.

They also have a dog named Coco.

Their house is really crowded.

Once all the teens age up to adult I will change there looks to match what they had according to the Sims 2 Wikia.
All the information on all of these sims is here at the Pleasantview Wikia. http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Pleasantview

ADD: Loren Darong has made his choice in Tristen Love from downtown by given her a back rub.

Pic 2 is Coral Ruggbyrne with Herb Oldie in the same pic because they look cute together.
Pic 3 is Brian Ruggbyrne to carry the name forward.

All the 2nd gens are now teenagers only 8 more gens to go.
I can't wait to see what the 3rd gen looks like, if they will be close to what they are in the org. Pleasantview or not.
And I also can not wait to see what the 10 gens will look like.

Ok this post will be all the teens stargazing to try and summon aliens for the scholarship award.

First up will be Gunther and Frida Goth. Gunther just maxed out Logic.

I just finished playing the Pleasants.

Daniel & Mary Sue are now elders

The twins: Angela & Lilith are now Young Adults, and will be attending Sim State University next round.

Before Mary Sue became an elder, she had a third child, that they named Andrew. Andrew will be the heir to the Pleasant fortune when he comes of age. He is currently a child.

You can read more about the happenings in their househould here .

I disagree. I think that it will be refreshing.

The rules do not state that heirs have to be male. You should be able to have your heirs be female, as long as they keep the family name going.

Your playstyle will be unique, and you should keep us updated about the goings on in your neighborhood.

Do I have to start the families as they were before the game? As in, they have no kids yet? Is it alright if I have my own families that were already there before the challenge started? I have two or three custom families already. Should I include those in the challenge?
