My original Gen 4 plans involved the heir having two siblings, but I think they’ll probably be an only child, maybe have an adopted sibling? We’ll see how I’m feeling if I ever approach Gen 3 again.

This was one of the siblings though: Aurora Grace, honestly one of my favorite “spares” even if you never met her.

She was going to have the Pastilles only (full) teen pregnancy storyline!! So maybe it’s better that the Pastilles got rebooted and rebranded...

Posey had a much bigger role to play this gen.  I ended up cutting Posey because well, I like Posey.  Originally I had her still dreaming of a life in music so she spent all her time and money on her band.  But I found this made her pretty unsympathetic and I just didn’t want that path for Posey.  Especially considering she chose Melon and had Sav and Gunner all on her ownsome (again, thanks MCCC).  So yeah, she’s still Sav’s mom, but now we only hear about her through Sav’s point of view.

March was supposed to just...do more, in general.  I planned for him to have a first love interest in high school.  That love interest...was maybe going to be Blaze.  Blaze wasn’t going to be interested back, but he was still going to be into Lotus.  So Lotus would be watching all of this happen with her cousin whom she’s very close to, and the guy who she used to hate but who has kinda won her over a bit.  It was going to be a whole thing, but I cut it because I honestly just wanted Lotus and Blaze to be happy.  Also March would never pine over someone who didn’t like him back, he’d just move on.
