All of my households apart from one have now finished their first year in Oasis Valley, and since my computer is currently getting repaired I thought I'd post an update of everyone I have screenshots for.
Donald Dunharrow (Fortune) married Abigail Alley (Popularity) and they now have two children: toddler son Alexander and baby daughter Adelaide. They are both fairly focused on their careers, Donald in Architecture and Abigail in Law, and are the household with the highest net value apart from the women's house. Young Alex is neat, outgoing, active, serious and mean, so he's probably a future fortune sim and Donald's heir.
George Gardner (Pleasure) married Sophie Stokes (Cheese). After much trying they eventually became pregnant, and some carefully timed cheesecake ensured their twins: daughter Suzanne and son Sidney. George still works in Gaming (his LTW), and Sophie doesn't have a job (but does have 8 cooking points, hence the cheesecake).
John Jones (Popularity) married Laura Loste (Pleasure). They're both in Culinary, and were getting promoted together until Laura was delayed a bit by maternity leave with their daughter Lily. Laura is pregnant again, so she's going to be slower still getting her next promotion.
Keith Kingsley (Family) married Elizabeth Ellenby (Family), and in keeping with their aspirations they had entirely natural twins, sons Edmund and Ernest. Then they both wanted another one (though sometimes also feared) and had their third son, Ewen. Both want another baby now, so I expect baby #4 won't be far away. Keith is making slow but steady progress through the Law Enforcement career, while Elizabeth is in Education (when she's not on leave with babies).
Richard Robinson (Romance) actually managed to want to get married without also fearing it, and is married to Clare Carpenter (Fortune). They have a toddler son Charles, and Clare is newly pregnant again. Richard works in Dance and Clare in Adventure, and all three love Music and Dance as a hobby, which leads to lots of singing and playing in the house. Oddly enough, Richard is probably more loyal to their marriage - he does often want to "Woohoo with 3 different sims" or "Make Out with 3 different sims", but never actually wants to cheat with anyone in particular, while every time Clare and Richard go on a date Clare wants to "Fall in Love with John" - the guy she once went on one date with, who is now very happily married to Laura and never thinks about Clare! So I'm not quite sure where that relationship is going, but we'll see.
William Wyrd (Knowledge) isn't married, but is dating Harriet Howard (Knowledge) and wants to marry her. He also had a little trip in a UFO, and now has an alien daughter, Wilhemina. William works in Science, and has had several promotions (and one lucky chance card that paid for the car and garage), but still has the smallest and cheapest house of everyone.
And Oliver Oswald (Cheese) doesn't get a family portrait, because his family is still just him. He works in Education and has some promotions, and every now and again I think he wants to date his colleague Elizabeth (they have 3 bolts), but she's happily married and anyway he doesn't roll the want. So I'm not too sure how he's going to get a son and heir.
Finally the women's house: the only two of the originals left are Harriet Howard (Knowledge) and Monica Mason (Romance). They are joined by Monica's twins, Mark and Matilda, the children of fellow Romance sim Richard Robinson from before he started dating Clare. They have a large and comfortable house, and Harriet is making progress with her dream career of Natural Science, while Monica works in Slacker since Athletics
still hasn't appeared. Harriet will marry and move out, but Monica and her children will keep the household going until some of the second generation are ready to join them.
