What Are Your Plans for Growing Together?

I’ll share!

I have played the same sim family for years, and with this new family themed pack coming out, I’ll be completely restarting their story! My sims, Darla and Wade, will start out as young adults fresh out of University with their infant (Dallas) and their newborn (Keaton). I’m so excited to replay their story and make it better than ever with all of the new gameplay content!

Literally so excited <3

EDIT: So my plans have changed! After careful consideration, I’ve decided not to restart my Holden family gameplay. It took me over 2 years to play two generations of this family, and I’ve started my game over multiple times in the past. I’ve decided that I’m going to continue on with Dallas as my main Holden heir. She will be the first to experience the new infants and gameplay features from the new expansion pack. I have plenty of time to play through the rest of her teenage years, get her through University, and throw her a beautiful wedding and honeymoon before mid-March. Wade and Darla have had their time to shine, it’s about time I put the spotlight on their children!

I thought since there is so many new aspirations and achievements. I would redo my super sim challenge I did before, but this time I will start from Newborn to Elder. I will have aging off on each life stage and then let them achieve all the available aspirations and achievements. Once completed I will age them up for the next life stage until I end with a super duper awesim sim :D

I'll be continuing with my one and only family.

Juliette, my eldest daughter, already has two kids. Teen Amelia and child Asher. So I think I'm going to let the middle sister Hannah have a couple of kids. One now so I can age up to toddler and one just before the infant update. This way I'll have one of each age group to check out all the new interactions. Just have to create a romantic interest for her.

Isabel, the youngest sister will probably move in with her grandparents so I'll have space for the extra two kids. I might have to move Edward out because I just remembered the dog.

And speaking of grandparents, both sets of grandparents, great-grandparents to Amelia and Asher, are in the game so I'm looking forward to fun times with them. Along with all the aunts and uncles and cousins in the neighborhood.

@JustinB113 I love that! I think restarting a game with all of the new generational gameplay will be so much fun! Familiar faces, familiar adventures, yet entirely new experiences that will (hopefully) be so meaningful!

@mcrudd Wow, the Super Sim Challenge combined with this new pack would be amazing! Not only is the challenge already challenging, but starting out as a newborn could bring it to a whole new level!

@simgirl1010 I was hoping you would continue on! I’m excited to see your family tree grow, and I hope you keep posting updates in the WHIYGT thread! I think that’s where I saw your updates at least..

I sort of already got most of my pre-planning done when infants were announced, lol. I started a new save & created a new family whose daughters I am going to age down into infants when they’re released. Their house & public lots are pretty much all finished, but of course I am going to update them a bit when the pack comes out. It’s going to be my first real attempt at a generational AND rotational save. I’ve also got some houses in the works for future generations, too, lol. I’m so excited!

I will likely buy this pack on sale sometime later this year along with High School Years and My Wedding Stories, and then I'll play a proper legacy using all the new content.

i'll start a new save with this young adult married couple i made a few weeks ago because i love them. i'll create a couple extended family members for them. i downloaded a housewife aspiration mod a couple days ago so i'll use that as well.

I'll just wait and see, I think. I have a tendency to make new saves when I get bored, and I'll probably wait until the pack has been out for a while anyway.
