I always struggle to build houses with more than 2-3 bedrooms, but the Fiero legacy house is getting pretty crowded! So I was looking at some floorplans today and got inspired :D

Wow... it’s a tie! Normally my “tie-breaker” would be going with whoever is the eldest, but since Hallie and Jayden are twins, double heirs it is!!!

If you missed it, the Fiero legacy heir poll is live! Read up on each candidate here, then go ahead & VOTE if you haven’t already!

Another household I wanted to show off real quick is the Fultons, consisting of Quinn and Teyona Fulton and their two daughters Nancy and Angel.

They're a 100% story progression driven family! I've found story progression to be a little slow to actually get sims starting families without the occasional nudge, but these two got things sorted all on their own, haha!

Hallie doesn't spend too long at the club, feeling a little guilty for leaving in the middle of a kodack family moment. But it can get so stifling in that house. Sometimes she misses the freedom of having no responsibilities.

Right, that's all! A couple of other college grads I didn't show: Hallie's lovers Adrian Adams and Joshua Adams (who I only just noticed have the same last name, lmao, maybe they're brothers????) are living with Malik Thompson in a "bro house", Nova Green moved in with Nora (at least until Nora moved in with the Yus), Matthew and Ashley are married with their little girl Hailey (who is a toddler now!) and Laila Ebadi (who Hallie met while clubbing a few nights ago) is living in one of the little beach shacks.

As a side-note, I'm not 100% sure how much I like this Story Progression-y gameplay style. It's nice for stuff like this where I am mainly playing one legacy family, but I find I do have to pop into other households fairly often to get things properly "set up" to my liking. Maybe it'd work best for more established neighbourhoods with a lot of playables (I can see it being really cool for more casual uberhoods). Or maybe it'd work better if I tweaked the romance/marriage/children stuff to happen more frequently?

Another funny thing is that Scarlett visited at one point and had a right go at Starla, lmao. She's the one sim in the family who has absolutely not forgiven Starla for breaking her little brother's heart.

Another new development is Starla's brother Erik getting back from college. Both their parents have passed away now, so it's just the Yu siblings and their cats, Bobo & Daisy. If I remember right all three of them are pleasure sims, so they've been going on plenty of dates.
