It's been a while since I played my Decades save but today I got in a little gameplay and wanted to update this family. There really hasn't been a whole lot going on in these few years for them other than losing the heir John Damme II. But there is alot more to go as they navigate this new journey into the mid-90s and early 2000s.

Will Delores ever except her daughter's death and be friends with her girlfriend? Who next will pass away leaving their legacy behind? What will Sherry Damme, now a single mother of 4 with no means to take care of her kids do without their father?

Wow, when they switched to the new forum I thought this was lost. Wish all my pics would've made it through.
Surprising enough, I'm still playing this challenge. I don't play The Sims as much as I use to so this family is currently in the year 2004. Perhaps when I finish it, I'll upload it.
I do love my Sims game, I just get bored of it and still miss aspects of past games. Like usable cars, underwater lots and actual boats and house boats, music careers and bands from Sims 1,2, and 3, modeling career from Sims 1, Hobbies like volleyball, surfing, and everything Sims 2 has, remodel cars, The Casino stuff from Sims 3, and arcade from Sims 1 and 2, and I could probably go on.
But glad to see the decades challenges, I love the stories and how everyone plays them.
