Hypothetically, if you wanted a husband and wife to...

Just a recommendation from a fellow player who thought it would be fun to have triplets. The one drawback was the fact this was a single mom with a full-time career. Plus, I was on one of my no cheating kicks and it didn't take long before total chaos broke out. The mother was close to reaching the top of her career, so I went into CAS and created a sister for the mom and moved her into the household to act as a live-in nanny until the kiddos started going to school. When the sister moved out, she had several skills maxed out, and her grateful sister made sure she had enough Simoleans to purchase a cute home. Once she became a wife and mother herself the two families remained very close and always celebrated the holidays together. I'm still unsure if that could be construed as cheating, but the outcome was better than I expected. There were many chaotic incidents along the way, but I don't regret my decision as it created an entirely new storyline I thoroughly enjoyed playing. I still visit that save from time to time just to see those two families. The triplets, two girls and a boy, are teens now while their two cousins, a boy and a girl, are kids, just a few weeks away from aging up to teens. I think I will make this save the one I play once the baby update is released and it doesn't have any bugs/glitches.
