I am currently playing a save file I started when Lovestruck came out. I call it my "accidental legacy" because this particular starting Sim was originally just plunked down in the town to be part of the eligible dating pool. I hadn't intended to actively play her. I was focused on three other couples to explore the Lovestruck features. But alas, my original file got that corruption bloated save thing that was fixed in a later update, so when I eventually recovered a usable version of my file, the progress of the 3 couples had been erased and I just wasn't that enthused about going through it all again to get them back to being partners. So, I decided to focus on this random Sim I'd created, Megan Ritchie.
Megan dated a lot (exploring all those Lovestruck features like Cupid's Corner and the dating events etc) but she eventually found long lasting love with Manuel Aquilar of all people. That was NOT my original goal, but they seemed to keep gravitating back to each other so I decided, why the heck not. Let's have them get married. So they did, after having a child first, though, I think. Megan wasn't sure Manuel was the marrying kind to be honest. He did have an eye for the ladies. LOL! And honestly, their relationship has been completely up and down, but they seem to be in it for the long haul.
They ended up raising 6 daughters and one son together in Cuidad Enamorada. So now, Manuel is a playable ghost, top of the good ghost tier (so handy!!!). He is a celebrity pianist, level 10 of all the musical instruments and top of the entertainer career. He's currently still employed, but also running a small music school on his days off, thanks to the new EP.
Megan is a world renowned painter, top of her career. Masterpieces just fall off her brush left and right. She also still has her day job and runs a small business, teaching painting to the locals in her home studio. She drank the potion of youth just before she became in elder, so she's not (hopefully) going to die anytime soon.
Their youngest daughter Jade (a teen) and son Ramin (child) live at home with Megan and Manuel. (Both of these children were the result of someone discussing expanding the family since Manuel was a ghost already).
Their other daughters:
Frances married and moved to Henford, and now had two kids. She's a master chef.
Twins Etta and Leanne moved to Willow Creek and Henford, respectively. Etta is married with three children and is a fashion stylist.
Leanne wanted to be a street musician, maybe following in her father's footsteps, but ended up living on a small ranch with her boyfriend, so now she's pretty much a rancher and runs a small business at the ranch, inviting tourists to come and experience farm life with all the animals. She and the boyfriend got engaged and have a daughter together. One day they'll get married.
Daughter Ariel married a vampire and lives in Forgotten Hollow. She's a mixologist.
Daughter Miracle (I randomize names so they aren't always typical LOL!) married the last remaining Goth in my game, Nehemiah Goth (I have neighborhood stories on so the original Goths all aged up and died off--no idea how he's related to Mortimer). He's a politician and she's a mortician. This family has been used to explore all the features of the Life and Death pack. They have three daughters and live in Ravenwood, the Mourningvale neighborhood. I'm thinking their oldest daughter, who is about to graduate high school, might be the one to explore the reaper career. She has the macabre trait, just like her mother. (I randomize traits in the game too, when the opportunity arises). The middle daughter seems best suited to try out the Ghost Historian aspiration.
