Yesterday, real life time, I sent Mena to Lucky Palms with Allyson and Kathleen. All of them came from Lucky Palms and I'm leaving the two little girls there with their respective families.
Just before I sent them home from Chocolate Cake Island boarding school, I gave both little girls makeovers. I discovered they were still as the game made them when they had cake and turned into children.
Here they are on their way to school in Lucky Palms - they are currently living with Mena and her parents in Lucky Palms.

Allyson is on the left and Kathleen is turned slightly towards her.
This is the Field's house in Lucky Palms - the currently active household.

Mena's mother, Emma. She's also Allyson's Great-Grandmother. She's an elder.

Mena's father, Jack - Allyson's Great-Grandfather. He wasn't entirely happy about being dragged out of bed to get his photo taken in his pyjamas. He's an adult but almost an elder.

And, for completeness - also not too thrilled with being dragged out of bed at 1:30 am for a photo shoot, here is Mena herself. a young adult - still quite a way to go before she ages up to adult.

Today I've made a few decisions. I'm placing Alyson and Kathleen back in with their families. Then I'm taking Mena and her parents on a quick vacation to China. Both of Mena's parents have lifetime wishes that require adventure. I've never played them enough to take them on any adventures so far and I feel a little guilty about that. I don't know if I'll include any video of their vacation in the story as it doesn't really connect with Oscar in any way. Or I don't think it does. I also gave Mena's father a makeover. I think the game must have given him the clothes and hair he had - or else my head was in a very odd place at the time. He is currently about to become an elder in a few days. Mena's mother is already an elder. She's in the culinary career.
Ted is a Sim I made years ago as one of 8 unattached young adults in a household.
I used to make these households of 8 young adults and put them together and never leave the house with them. I'd build huge houses full of skilling objects and watch what they did autonomously and they got skills as they went along. When I got tired of them I'd save them to the library and make another household and that went on for years. The reason for that was my family trees kept breaking and I didn't have mods and when parents suddenly became strangers to their own toddlers I got so frustrated I just stopped playing families.
Well, when I was playing the original game with Patience, who was trying to get me the badge for a sim having 15 children, I grabbed Ted out of my library and added him to her household. I don't think I chose the version of him that had been played so he was a very young Young Adult at the time and Patience was already an adult. They had 4 children before she moved on to Christopher Steel and Ted ended up with Patience's eldest daughter, Helena. I should point out here, that the only Sim Patience ever married was Marty. And Marty divorced her when she ran off to live with Gobias. She had 5 more children with Gobias before seducing Ted.
Actually Helena chased after Ted and first I moved her out of the household and back in with her Father, Marty. But that didn't seem to stop her so I just left them to it and they had a couple of children together and seemed to be living happily enough together so I decided they ought to get married. By that time I'd made my Indoor Outdoor Wedding venue and I wanted to have a BIG wedding. At that point it occurred to me that Ted had no family to invite to his wedding. So I made him some parents and a teenage sister. That's how Mena and her parents came into being. By this time I had mods in my game so I was able to add the parents and Mena to Ted's family tree.
Here are some old pics of their wedding
https://i.postimg.cc/j5ZBzY48/Ted-And-Helena-W014.jpg
The tall bridesmaid, the teen in pink, is Mena.
https://i.postimg.cc/SsZ7s2TT/Ted-And-Helena-W004.jpg
The couple sitting in the front seat, and the man is looking at Mena and smiling, is the original version of Mena's parents. Before they got older. And that is Eric's father, Percy, sitting just behind Mena's mother's shoulder.
The little bridesmaid is one of Marty's daughters with Marcie. Marty is Helena's father.
A few members of the combines families are in this shot. I think is was meant to be just the wedding party.

Helena's brother Harry is at the far left of the picture. Her father, Marty and her mother Patience are behind on the left. On the right are mostly Ted's family. The two little bridesmaids are Marty and Marcie's daughters, Helena's little half sisters. Mena is the teen in pink on the right and the teen in pink on the left is one of Helena's half sisters. I think she could be Allyson's mother. That would make her a daughter of Ted and Patience. And finally, the young male on the right is Percy. He is Helena's half brother and father of Eric and Susanna.
This is an interesting picture.

It shows Ted waiting for Helena. Helena is at the back with her father Marty. Up above, the dark haired sim in pink is Haley. She's Kathleen's mother. You can also see Patience sitting in the front wearing the blue dress. She's doing her usual Patience thing - waving at the celebrant and trying to flirt with him. The other sim in blue is holding a toddler. She's another of Patience and Ted's daughters. She's Heather and she currently lives in Sunlit Tides.
There is another sim about half way back in the seating. She can be seen just behind the little girl in pink who is standing in front of the seats. That's Marcie. She is the mother of the two a little girls in pink. She's Marty's second wife. They got married after Patience ran off with Gobias and left Marty with 5 children to raise alone.
This is a better shot of Marcie. The teen with the spiky hair behind Marcie is Harry. He's Haley's son and Kathleen's half brother. Harry inherited the Imaginary Friend trait as his father is Bob. Bob is Percy's Imaginary Friend made real who married Haley. They had one baby together before she ran off to live with Gobias - while I wasn't playing their household. I had 'happy families' ideas for Haley and Bob. But the game/Haley decided otherwise. She always wanted to be with much older male sims.

Marcie and Marty are both elders now and live in Dark Harbor in the Big Game. Four of their young adult children live there too but are gradually moving out to set up homes of their own. Oscar and Eric will visit them all eventually.
The celebrant has his back to the camera. He was made to do this job and I tried to keep him in the game after that but he was too crazy for me to cope with so he got evicted. Since then I've mellowed a bit and if you watch the series I'm doing on Caroline and Friends, well I've just added a few new sims to her household and this same sim is one of that new household. I can't wait to see what it's like to play with him as his trait combination is unusual for me and he is a very different type of sim to play. I think he'll add lots of laughter to the videos - I'll just have to remember not to make any actual plans for him as I find him difficult to direct when played with full autonomy on and I must play with full autonomy as that is how the game is fun for me. I love to see what sims do without direction.

Later on I accidentally added another copy of Ted to the Big Game. So I changed the second version of Ted's name to Alf and added him to the family tree as Ted's brother. Alf currently lives with some townies in Sunlit Tides. He has a couple of children of his own somewhere too. Or at least I think he does.
So Now I just want to play a little with Mena and her parents. Mena is getting some lifetime happiness and skills but her parents are a bit frustrated with lack of attention from me.
Apart from all of this, when I send Kathleen home to her household I've decided to age her little sister, Jaimie, up to child. I'll check she's done all of her toddler skills and read all the books first. I'm pretty sure she has, as have most of the toddlers in that household. But I'll only age up the eldest toddler at this point. None of them were multiple births. I will show video of her household because Oscar will probably get to know all of them eventually. Same for when I send Allyson home.
I just realised - in their complicated family tree it turns out that Kathleen is half sister to Percy Koffi. Which means she's Eric's half-aunt.
That's it from me for now. I'm off to send the little girls back to their respective homes and take Mena and her parents on their first vacation to China.
Happy Simming all
