You say it's your birthday, Summer 2024

Gordon and Lia Nott's twins are due in just three months. They're getting a little last minute shopping done before the babies arrive in Autumn.

Caitlin Romilly is now a whole year old!

Here's her dad Finn as a toddler...

...and her mum Victoria. She's looking like a bit more of a mix than her older brother Declan, who is almost a clone of his dad. Those are definitely Victoria's eyes!


Pamela Gray will have her hands full with pre-schoolers this year - there are five new students! The first is Timothy Lane.

Joining him is Edmund Gentry...

...and Edmund's twin sister Louisa.

Jessica Royce-Nihill will also be starting pre-school this year.

Her best friend Emma Gottlieb is also along for the ride.

Three new 12 year-olds starting high school this year! The first is Charlie Benton. Charlie would like to be a prestidigitator when he grows up.

Brother Jack is also 12 and has a slightly more mundane dream; he'd like to be a business tycoon.

Audrey Lachance will be joining the Benton brothers in Grade 7. She would one day like to be a world class ballet dancer.

Ethan Novak is now 18 and has just arrived at Novak Hall. He's not sure what he wants to major in, or what he wants to do when he graduates, so he's still weighing up his options.

Matilda Jacobson will be one of his dormmates while at Novak Hall. She hasn't yet declared a major but she wants to be an actress one day, so she will likely major in Drama.

Josie Benton is now 22 and living back in Sullivan. While attending medical school, she'll be working at a science lab to earn some extra cash.

Josie's best friend Patience Draper is completely finished with her studies. Like Matilda, she also dreams of being an actress but the only paying job she could find was as a body double. Lucky she's so outgoing?

And finally, Magdalena Novak has just turned 60! No plans for retirement in the near future but she is looking forward to the arrival of her first two grandchildren this autumn.

And now for some graduation spam!


Patience graduated with a degree in Literature and a 4.0 GPA.

Her boyfriend Rob visited for the occasion...

...as did her family.

Josie now has a degree in Physics and also managed to graduate with a 4.0 GPA.

Troy's dorm is just up the road so it wasn't really very far for him to travel.

Josie's family had a little further to travel but graduating with a 4.0 is something to celebrate!

Notes:

• Note to self: set up that baby store as a real store soon. I gave it a name and everything (Lullabies, if you're curious) but I've only used it for quick set up shots because Sims can't obviously buy anything from there without an owner.
• I was a little concerned about Caitlin because I think she looks a little strange right now. I aged her up to check though, and she'll be less odd as a child and very, very pretty by the time she's a teen. So no surgery is necessary, yay!
• I kind of love that tomboy Tatiana has ended up with a daughter who wants to be a ballerina. I so often ended up putting Audrey in pink, so it fits for me, even though her OTH is tinkering.
• Josie's parents will be paying for her med school tuition, so she gets to start as soon as I play her next (which will be this round). Finn is paying his own way through his post-grad, so he's waiting a couple of years.
• I'll have to remember to throw Jace and Magdalena an anniversary party (it's Magdalena's LTW). I almost always forget that LTW. It's so easy to fulfill but it always slips my mind. The only one I remembered was Maria and Filippo's.
