@carlimact:
Keep in mind that J Huntington has the Commitment Issues trait, so he wouldn't really be marriage material. Also, if your Sim marries him, her last name will be Huntington III, a fact that I find a bit irritating. (And is probably the reason they made him have that trait, so that his wife and kids wouldn't "inherit" that last name.) Besides which, he has those SCARY stalker looking eyes. Man, that guy looks creepy to me!
Travis is cool, though. I can't remember, but I think he's a bit of a nerd, which I always find fun to play. Me being a nerd myself, and all. If you look at his body type in CAS it's a pretty good base, so he won't have a tendency towards paunch or anything.
June is absolutely lovely! Can't wait to see how more of your story turns out.

As always, I love your stories. I take it that he was sad because of something from Slice of Life? I tried that because of your recommendation, but hated it within half an hour. I continued to try it for another hour or two, then left the game and removed that mod. I guess it's good for some people, but I really didn't like the effects of it. But then, I don't really like "realism" in my games. I play games to ESCAPE reality. The more fantasy-like, the better. I do want more of a challenge than Sims 4 normally gives, but I really don't like acne and rosacea on my Sims.
I wasn't sure why mcrudd said you'd broken her heart about puppies, unless it's the fact that Pearl is a clone of Orion. I don't know if the game would view the dogs as siblings, but it probably does. At least, I believe it views a clone done on the cloning machine as a sibling, but I don't know if that's how you created Pearl. If you created her in CAS, then they are probably not technically related at all.
Hayley and Gillis are a beautiful couple, and their dogs are cute as buttons. Can't wait to read more. :)
Edit: Awww.. I just read your last post. So sad! :( I had thought the two were just puppies. I wanted to see them longer!
