~ Pascal had his alien baby as intended. The baby turned out to be a girl and was named Tycho (canon Sims 2 PSP name for Pascal’s kid). She has since grown up into a child, but I haven't played with her yet.

~ Pascal’s outfit is… some sort of midlife crisis perhaps? I wanted to change his normal clothes and this outfit was one of the ones they already owned. It lowkey suits him though??

~ Vidcund was also abducted like he was supposed to be. His baby was also a girl! I (or Vidcund, rather) named her Kitty after the brothers’ mother. She’s now a toddler and MY GOD she’s an ugly one! Admittedly, her hairstyle is making it worse and she might look better after a little makeover, but those alien genes… they sure were gene-ing. I don’t mind it that much, though.

~ Unlike his brothers, Lazlo wasn’t in any hurry to get abducted and have an alien baby of his own :D Though he was a pretty involved uncle when Tycho was a toddler. His lifetime want is to be a media tycoon so I had him quit his job as a scientist and pursue a career in media. He’s currently a blog writer. I imagine he wants to own a paranormal-themed media that prints conspiracy theories and stuff like that. Note to self: make Lazlo wear the CC tinfoil hat I downloaded!

~ I didn’t exactly rebuild their house but I did add another floor and slightly changed the existing one (for my sanity more than anything else bc that original floor plan was a Choice). Maybe I’ll give the house a proper makeover in the future if I ever feel so inclined.

~ I plan to move Nervous Subject in with them in the next rotation so I added a bedroom for him.

~ Olive retired and died the way she was supposed to. She’s buried in her garden. I’m not sure what I’ll do with this house in the future, but I don’t want to move the graves from Olive’s garden to the town cemetery I built nearby. This house and its garden cemetery were such a formative influence on me and they are simply too iconic to get rid of or rebuild!

~ Ophelia is an adult now. She still lives in her aunt’s house and doesn’t have a job because she hasn’t rolled the want to get one and her lifetime want is not career-related :D She’s still with Johnny Smith (also an adult now) and they’ve already woohooed without my interference. They are gonna move in together and start making beautiful babies reeeeal soon though because Ophelia’s LTW is to marry off 6 kids. This is probably the only time I’ll ever try to fulfill that lifetime want, lol.

~ I discovered that Ophelia - without my interference at all btw - made friends with, and developed a crush on, Lazlo Curious of all Sims! AND THE CRUSH IS MUTUAL. Girl, you have your green boyfriend, you don’t need the drama. Not yet, at least. Note to self: friendzone Lazlo via ACR.

~ Nothing substantial happened to them in this round, but I do have plans for them!

~ It pains me to say this because I’ve always loved Loki and Circe as the evil power couple of Strangetown, but it must be done: I’m going to break them up soon. Yes, that’s happening! More on that later.

~ As for Nervous, they’ll keep experimenting on him for now, but he’ll eventually run away and move in with his homoerotic/queerplatonic bestie Pascal Curious and his family. I originally planned to move Nervous away to a subhood after his stay at the Curiouses because it would make sense for him to want to leave Strangetown, but I’m not sure I want to do that anymore. It would also make sense for him to stay close to his only friend… We’ll see!

~ Lanfear Wheeloftime? Is that you? Well, this gal has Lanfear’s government name, her personality and backstory are inspired by Lanfear and I tried, to the best of my very limited abilities, to make her look like Lanfear, soooo…

~ I first got back into The Sims 2 quite soon after The Wheel of Time got cancelled and it felt natural to make Lanfear (or a Lanfear-inspired Sim) the founder of a Sim dynasty :D Anyway, this is Mierin Eronaile. She’s a Knowledge/Wealth Sim and her LTW is to max out all of her skills. She works in Science. Her backstory is that she moved to Strangetown after a nasty breakup and is determined to prove herself in her career. But wait! I did say she would found a dynasty, didn’t I? The question is, with whom? When I first thought of all this, the idea of her marrying a random townie was simply out of the question due to the fact that she’s simply better than that. I didn’t want to create a spouse for her either, so the only option was to have her marry one of the premades. And let me tell you, none of them cut the mustard either… except for one Sim, the only one who, to me, is worthy of my queen. And that, of course, is Circe Beaker.

~ So yeah, Mierin is the reason I’ll have to break up Loki and Circe. Which means I’ll be creating another evil4evil scientist couple, so technically the balance is intact, lmao. My plan is to eventually have Mierin and Circe have children with both of their genetics (with the help of a mod or the Tombstone of Life and Death) and thus start a dynasty that would rival the Landgraabs. I’ll move them to a subhood I’ll create myself.

~ This family’s scripted event/tutorial was to throw Johnny a birthday party where he’d age from teen to adult. I did all that. Adult Johnny dreams of becoming a Rock God (though he hasn’t had the career opportunity yet and works in entertainment instead), plans to marry Ophelia and start a family at their own place, but for now he still lives with his parents because…

~ Jenny and PT9 had another baby! They both rolled the want to do that and who am I to deny them? I had to de-age Jenny a bit but she did get pregnant and then gave birth to a boy they named Jack. I’ll have Johnny help out with his baby brother until he becomes a child + I want the two of them to have a close relationship despite the age difference.

~ I keep talking about the two boys, but Jill is also very much present! She’s a teenager now and I gave her a custom alien birthmark so she has *something* alien about her. I plan for her to go to college and eventually go into the Oceanography career because her bio states she loves the ocean or something like that. While in college, she’s gonna figure out that she’s a lesbian. It was just a random thought I had at first, but then Jill’s entire family met Strangetown Bella Goth and out of all of them only Jill (still a kid then) rolled Bella-related wants (befriend, play etc) which I decided to interpret as Jill having a little crush :) Canon wlw experience!

~ So yeah, for now they all live together under the same roof and there’s a new baby. PT9’s gonna contribute to the family by selling his garden produce (I built him a little greenhouse) and Jenny will keep working as a nurse.

~ This is supposed to be a dramatic household with a lot of friction, but there hasn’t actually been any! Chloe doesn’t have a great relationship with anyone except her sister, but there hasn’t been any autonomous negativity. Maybe it’s because the girls don’t interact much at all?

~ Lola and Kristen, the two Fortune sims of the household, both want to become Space Pirates, so they’re working in the same field and I think there’s a bit of a rivalry going on (also gotta love the fact that one of the alien girls wants to explore space!). This could be extremely fertile ground for them to end up together but alas, not in this save.

~ Lola is actually with Ajay Loner, which seems to be a common pairing. What can I say, they really hit it off! I’ll talk a bit more about that when I get to the Loner section, but yeah, I plan on getting them engaged soon.

~ Erin Beaker doesn’t have a career-related LTW and hasn’t rolled any career wants so she’s unemployed at the moment. She currently has two chemistry bolts with a male townie and may marry him soon if I don’t find another option among the premades. On the other hand, this townie guy doesn’t have to be her *only* husband…

~ Also, Erin was electrocuted TWICE while trying to repair the household computer with low tech skill. The second time the computer even caught on fire! I don’t know how she’s still alive, lol. Thankfully, Chloe was home and managed to extinguish the fire. Honestly though, if Sims are dumb enough to repair their devices without unplugging them, it’s their own fault if they get zapped.

~ There’s nothing going on with Kristen Loste except for the career I mentioned. I don’t have any plans for her, really. We’ll see if she finds someone among the new college graduates, or I might make her a lesbian. There’s a good chance I’ll move her out of Strangetown because her bio says she doesn’t plan to stay here long.

~ Finally, Chloe! She’s my favorite one to play because I’ve never played much with Romance sims before, and certainly not with ACR. She’s unemployed because a job would interfere with her dream of woohooing 20 Sims. I’m taking this LTW of hers very seriously and am keeping a list of everyone she’s fucked. I’ll eventually have her live in a polycule with some of the Sims she has the most chemistry with.

~ Speaking of the list and who she has the most chemistry with, she almost fucked Lazlo at some point! For the uninitiated, the Curious siblings (Jenny aka Jenny Smith, Pascal, Vidcund and Lazlo) and Lola and Chloe from the Singles household are half-siblings (and to make it messier, guess who Lola and Chloe’s father is? Jenny’s alien husband!!!), but they aren’t marked as family on each other’s relationship panel and can marry each other and have children together like with any other non-relative. When I was playing, I totally forgot about this quirk of the game :”) Thankfully, it just so happened that they didn’t do anything more than kissing before Lazlo had to leave, and *then* I remembered The Thing. Welp. Nothing would’ve happened if they did woohoo, and it could be an interesting storyline with a variety of explanations, but nahhhh, not this time. Note to self: friendzone Lazlo via ACR.

~ Chloe did, however, woohoo Crystal Vu (Lazlo’s unrequited crush) instead, peace and love on planet Earth.

~ Unexpectedly fun??? Not as in “fun gameplay”, more like “I suddenly found myself fascinated by their dynamics and kept thinking about them as I drifted off to sleep every night”

~ First, Buzz. Nothing exciting happened to him. He did, however, keep autonomously tucking Buck in and wanting to read a story to him. I interpreted this as Buzz mellowing out with age, lol. His LTW is to own 5 top-rated businesses (or whatever the wording is, I can’t remember and am too lazy to check). I came across a tip on TS2 subreddit that said this LTW will still be fulfilled if only one business gets to a high rank and then loses and earns back that last star several times. The game apparently treats it as separate businesses achieving top ranks. I’d love to test this in future rounds.

~ I fulfilled the script for Tank to get a job in the military and other things from the Sims 2 Prima guide. Tank has since grown up into an adult and is now climbing the Military career ladder. He’s also deeply, deeply closeted according to my headcanon (a very common headcanon, it seems like). My rough plan for him is to marry a woman and have children with her but then start having gay affairs. I’m so sorry for putting you through the wringer like this, Tank.

~ Ripp was, well, Ripp :D He’s not in the family picture because he improved his grades enough to go to college and he’s still there. While he was still a teen living at home, he had his first kiss with a male coworker he brought home one day. ACR made him bisexual for me and I didn’t even have to ask!

~ Despite being the only one in his friend group to go to college, he is, of course, not really interested in studying. It was just a way for him to get away from his father. I’ll talk more about him when I get to La Fiesta Tech Sims.

~ Oh! Something Ripp-related happened when I was playing the Singles household and I just remembered it. Johnny Smith invited Chloe to go clubbing in Downtown and turned up with his friends Ophelia and Ripp. At that point, Johnny and Ophelia were adults but Ripp was still a teenager because I hadn’t yet played the Grunt family. I’m pretty sure Ripp was the only teen in that club, lol. Since I was playing Chloe, I was determined to have her woohoo at least one sim in that club. So she and a townie went to town (heh) on each other on one of the couches – the only place suitable for public woohoo in that club – and Ripp, A TEENAGER, cheered them on and watched the whole time. Btw that happened after he’d been in a public hot tub upstairs with some adult townies while Johnny and Ophelia were having their first woohoo in the hot tub next to it. I don’t think Ripp minded any of that though. He’s a Romance sim, after all.

~ Buck was an interesting development. His bio states that he feels neglected by his father, but since Buzz autonomously did stuff like tucking Buck in, I feel like their relationship might somewhat improve, if only superficially. Buck’s a teen now, but he seemed to love learning when he was a child so when it came to choosing his aspiration, I felt like Knowledge was appropriate for him. His LTW turned out to be to max out all skills which meant he got interested in working out and started asking Buzz for lessons. His true hobby, however, is Science and he even discovered a new star while looking in the telescope! I don’t think his dad would like Buck’s interest in space and science very much. We know that Buzz likely bullied the nerdy Curious brothers when they were all teenagers, and I feel like Buzz would rather die than have a Nerd ™ for a kid. On the other hand, I think he’d still want his kids to do well at school for status points.

~In the future I’d also like to somewhat honor the part of Buck’s bio that states he wants to be a pet stylist to the stars by having him foster pets that go into Showbiz career. It's just a thought for now, though.

~ This is a bin family that came with one of the expansion packs. I think they fit into Strangetown well enough because they are both in the military career. They are admittedly pretty bland, but there’s still potential for drama.

~ Jessica has a broken face template (meaning the template is not linked to the correct template for other life stages, if I understand that correctly) which means she’ll pass down broken face genes to her children. I decided to incorporate that into the story and play it as if she has some sort of genetic disorder and thus can’t have children (and she’s a family sim who keeps rolling the want to have a child). I’m gonna send her into aspiration failure next rotation so she’d have a nervous breakdown and then play it as if she’s come around to the idea of adoption. And then they’ll adopt some kids!

~ The breakdown thing is also very appropriate because Jessica just lost her job in the military :( And it had been going so well!

~ For now, they’ve adopted a kitten who is now an adult cat.

~ When a tree in their backyard was struck by lightning, I freaked out and immediately had Jessica call the fire department because I knew how deadly kitchen fires could get and assumed it would be the same for a lightning strike. It wasn’t! Fires caused by lightning are usually extinguished by the rain, which I TOTALLY forgot about. So yeah, the firefighter came after the fire was out and the family was fined. I was PISSED, as was Matthew – he rolled the want to see the ghost of the firefighter, had a negative memory and everything, which is funny considering he was at work when this whole mess happened. Jessica, meanwhile, didn’t give a single fuck.

~ He’s a bin sim that was supposed to come with Strangetown and is generally regarded as being pretty boring from what I can gather. And yeah, he’s not the most interesting Sim (except for the fact that he was immediately struck by lightning after moving in and survived) but I have a couple of headcanons about him in my game.

~ He lives in a motel on the outskirts of Strangetown (technically a very cheap apartment complex I built). In my game canon he used to have a very boring job that he only got because his parents approved of it. After his parents’ death he escaped both his grief and his old life by abandoning everything and moving to Strangetown, the polar opposite of where he used to live. He decided to stay in this weird-ass town and pursue his childhood dream of becoming a ballet dancer. And then, of course, he fell in love with a half-alien woman.

~ He and Lola Curious met at some restaurant in Downtown and they hit it off right away, but there’s an interesting detail: Lola was wearing an old-timey diving suit the entire time :D When you save a household while a Sim is at work and then meet that Sim on a community lot while playing another household, they will always be wearing their work uniform. And yeah, Lola was indeed a diver and at work when I finished the Singles household round. I wish I took a normal screenshot but all I have is this potato-quality picture I took for their family album using the in-game feature. Well, it was extremely funny at any rate (there was also an equally funny time once when Johnny Smith turned up to a nightclub in full clown gear).

~ The next day I had Ajay invite Lola over fully intending for them to woohoo. They understood the assignment before I could even give it, though, and went to woohoo in a photo booth near the motel’s entrance, lol. Couldn’t even walk a few meters to Ajay’s perfectly good motel bed, the horndogs.

~ This fucking guy. I made him because I wanted to have a creepy serial killer Sim in my Strangetown and it was paramount that he would be creepy in a sleazy sort of way, not in a “I kill Sims because I’m in love with the Grim Reaper” or “I’m in a cult that sacrifices Sims to the Watcher” or “I drink the life of the Sims I feed to the cowplant to be immortal” sort of way. Not in a fun, dramatic way, essentially. I made the guy, named him Cosgood Creeps after one of the villains in OG Scooby-Doo and made him the “owner” of the motel on the outskirts of the town (he doesn’t actually own the motel because that’s impossible in the game, but he’s one of the lodgers and I made up the rest)

~ He’s a peeping Tom. He loves watching his neighbors through a telescope and he has a secret one-way window in his bedroom that looks into the honeymoon suite – it’s a custom window I really had to look for. So yeah, he likes to watch. He also writes bad smut novels.

~ And yeah, he’s supposed to be a serial killer. I was going to simply use various cheats to kill Sims that are redheads (he only kills redheads, of any gender), but that’s just boring. I’ve decided to download the crate of throwable axes and try it next because this dude just doesn’t have anything going on in his life save for spying on neighbours and going to work (he’s a criminal, that’s his actual day job), and his round was super bland to play.

~ In fact, he hasn’t even killed anyone yet! His next-door neighbor is the perfect candidate but Creeps couldn’t even manage to befriend him to be able to invite him over :”) Which does check out since he’s a creep and behaves accordingly. I basically made him blatantly stalk his future victim to find out when he leaves and comes back from work and it unintentionally looked EXACTLY as creepy as it sounds.

~ I’ll have to try and make him more interesting because I didn’t think he’d be so bland to play. Maybe after a few killings the cops will get suspicious and he’ll go into hiding? Idk.

~ The Grunt middle child! He applies himself enough to get a passing grade and sometimes makes other Sims write term papers for him, but otherwise he’s not very interested in studying (I can’t even remember what he’s majoring in right now – philosophy or art, maybe?). The only reason he went to college was to escape his family situation. My headcanon is that Ripp is convinced that his father killed his mother (which isn’t true in my game – or in canon, I think – but Ripp doesn’t know that and there’s no proof of anything anyway)

~ So yeah, Ripp is the black sheep of the family, and on top of that and of Buzz being an abusive asshole there’s this massive rift between them caused by this suspicion. Which is especially tragic because in my game Buzz had nothing to do with Lyla’s disappearance.

~ Ripp is also bi which Buzz hates (no wonder Tank is so deep in the closet), and a Romance sim. He’s having a lot of fun in college, actually! He’s slept with multiple dormies but isn’t serious about any of them. He unexpectedly has a lot of game, especially after I gave him a little makeover. I kinda understand those dormies… he’s a bit of a babe, actually.

~ I have no long term plan for him yet. He has one bolt chemistry with Stella Terrano so maybe they’ll date a bit and/or have a kid. Maybe Chloe Curious would be interested in him. I think he’d love to get with an alien girl to piss off his father even more.

~ He’ll move back to Strangetown but won’t visit or talk to his father anymore.

~ You may notice there’s only two Sims in the picture – that’s because Gunnar graduated at the end of this uni rotation and I can’t be bothered to get a picture of him as an adult because I hate him and am not sure what to do with him, lol. Maybe he’ll have chemistry with someone in Strangetown and father some chinless offspring. Maybe he’ll rekindle old flames from uni. Maybe I’ll make him a townie. Maybe I’ll make him participate in some sort of Hunger Games-like challenge. Maybe he’ll become a new test subject for the Beakers (that’s an idea, actually!). I just don’t know yet.

~ Gunnar briefly and non-exclusively dated his bandmate Jasmine Rai but she ended things after she became serious about dating Guy Wrightley from the frat house.

~ Zoe Zimmerman is engaged to DJ Verse from the sorority! Zoe rolled the want to get engaged pretty much immediately after they fell in love, lmao. Classic lesbian behavior. DJ rolled the same want soon after. I can’t remember who proposed at this point (I think it was DJ) but it happened at a fancy Downtown restaurant.

~ Now that Gunnar is gone, DJ is gonna move into the house and become his replacement in the band. After they all graduate, I plan for Jasmine to stay with Guy Wrightley and for Zoe to stay with DJ. The two of them are gonna adopt a baby and everything!

~ Stella my love ♥ There’s nothing much going on with her, but I’m just enjoying playing her as a studious alien girl. It reminds me of playing the University expansion pack as a kid/teen (always single sims, always the Knowledge aspiration).

~ She’s non-exclusively dating a dormie and that’s the only 2+ bolt chemistry she has with anyone so far. She has one bolt with Ripp Grunt and one with Frances Worthington, and I think they may have even slept together. I don’t want her to end up with *Frances*, though. Or Ripp, for that matter – not long term, anyway. She could have a family with the dormie, but I want to see if she pairs up with a premade first – and there aren’t many options in Strangetown anymore. Well, maybe an option will present itself later in Stella’s life :)

~ She randomly got the genie’s lamp from the matchmaker, but she’s saving her wishes for a rainy day.

~ This guy was super boring to play, but at least his bio mentioned he wanted to be in the uni secret society. I made him get into one which was exciting because I never knew secret societies existed in the game and thus never played in them! The society itself isn’t as cool as it sounds, though, EXCEPT it turns out the secret society lot is full of career rewards that a Sim can pilfer by putting them in their baggage.

~ Soooo maybe Frances will steal the cowplant and the counterfeit machine right before he graduates? And maybe he’ll use the counterfeit machine to make himself ever richer (his backstory is that he’s supposed to be rich + he’s a business major, that checks out) and the cowplant to kill his “business rivals”? And maybe his hypothetical wife will drink the cowplant milk to keep herself young?

~ This dude was a genuine candidate for slaughter of for townifying, like Gunnar, but now that I thought about this scenario, he could actually be fun to play? Where do I find him a wife though......... he doesn't have that much chemistry with any of the uni premades, so maybe it will be a townie or a dormie. I think he had good chemistry with one of the girls from the secret society, actually.

~ Note to self: he should probably live in one of the subhoods because Strangetown would be too much of a backwater town for a wealthy guy like him… I should move him to Downtown after he graduates.

~ Boring yet somewhat chaotic? This and the sorority was my first time playing Greek houses in TS2 University and I don’t think it’s my cup of tea. Maybe if I’d been more invested in the Sims living there… but idk, I feel like I’m just not the type of player to make the most of what Greek houses are all about. I don’t like throwing uni parties, for one thing. And these households should be all about accepting new members, which I’m also not a fan of.

~ Anyway, the first one we have is Guy Wrightley, a bland-ass boy. I mean, his name is literally Guy. He’d be on his way to be townified if he didn’t have such good chemistry with Jasmine Rai… I’ll study him closely and find/invent something interesting about him later.

~ Mickey Dosser made me pull my hair out all the time, and yet I thought about him more than about the other two combined?? Truly a love/hate relationship (though “love” may be a bit too strong a word lol).

~ He has a Romance aspiration and yet has no game at all + he’s sloppy, lazy and failing his classes. I tried to hook him up with literally anyone, but whenever I tried to woohoo someone on a community lot, they walked away from him. That happened multiple times! And he, being a Romance sim, kept rolling the want to have his first woohoo. All things considered, I felt like he was giving off incel energy (wanting to get girls but them rejecting him, being a stereotypical slob etc), so I thought of him as straight and I’m almost sure I set his preferences as straight in ACR.

~ HOWEVER. His male professor clearly had the hots for him and we (Mickey and I) decided to use that to our advantage. It seems like students can’t woohoo their professors – or maybe that option doesn’t exist in ACR but does in vanilla game when the relationship is high enough, now that I think of it? – so Mickey just flirted with the guy a bit, and then this happened randomly.

This wasn't an autonomous woohoo attempt; Mickey simply decided to strip down and lay on the bed while the professor watched (and while I scrambled to take a screenshot while pissing myself laughing).

~ In the end, Mickey did have his first woohoo! With Ripp Grunt, of all Sims! They actually have decent chemistry. So maybe there’s more to Mickey than I originally thought… and yet I still hate him, lol. I’ll try to play him after he graduates and find something interesting about him, but it’s quite possible I’ll make him a townie.

~ He seemed to be more of a Pleasure sim so I changed his aspiration to that.

~ Lastly, Matthew Hart. His name was localized in Russian as Mikhail Hart, which I ultimately decided not to change because there already is a brown-haired white guy named Matthew (with, spoiler, a blonde wife) in Strangetown and I’d be bound to mix them up. I’ve changed some localized premade names back to their original names but I guess this one’s staying. I’ll still try to refer to him as Matthew here.

~ His shtick is that he came to La Fiesta Tech with his high school sweetheart Sarah Love. She’s in the sorority and I’ll talk about her soon – there’s actually a bit of a premade love triangle there, with one of her sorority sisters having a crush on Matthew (unbeknownst to him). I haven’t fully reenacted that yet and I probably won’t.

~ Save for the love triangle thing, which I feel lukewarm about at best, Matthew is a pretty bland guy, but I do have some plans for him and his girlfriend.

~ Jessie Pilferson is the gal in a love triangle with Matthew Hart and Sarah Love. Her last name seems to be hinting at her intention to steal Matthew from her sorority sister but idk, I don’t really want to go there, at least while they’re in college? They did kiss and Jessie’s crush is mutual now, but I wasn’t truly feeling it. I’m also not sure what to do with Jessie in general – she dated Gunnar Roque briefly, but I don’t have any plans for her for now.

~ DJ Verse is the gal who’s engaged to Zoe Zimmerman from The Shifting Paradymes household. She'll move there soon.

~ I haven’t made any plans for Monica Bratford either. At that point, I was too focused on finishing the round to pay close attention to individual Sims :”) I always have her do the assignments and write the term papers because she’s a Knowledge sim, and I tried to take her out to meet new people but she doesn’t have high chemistry with anyone.

~ Finally, Sarah Love is Matthew Hart’s girlfriend. Like her boyfriend, she got a randomly localized name, so if I ever call her Olga, that’s why, haha. I was going to change it but got kinda used to calling her Olga. And she kinda does look like an Olga to me? At some point she randomly kissed a llama mascot goodbye despite having like 4 relationship points with them, which made me think Matthew is not the only one with a wandering eye. She’s a Family Sim, like her boyfriend, and tbh they kinda give off conservative vibes, but I’m thinking of giving them both secondary Romance aspirations. I mean, Sarah’s last name is literally Love. Soooo, the initial plan is, have them get married and have kids but make both of them have affairs (Matthew may even reconnect with Jessie Pilferson someday, who knows…). I want to see if I can pull off having an affair on normal gameplay. That’s why I don’t really want them to cheat on each other yet – that will come after, if all goes according to my plan.
