Round 36 Summary

I don't know about you guys but this round was kind of a marathon to me! I'm looking forward to next round, which I think will go a lot faster with my new birthdays system. :)

So wow! I think that's a record number of babies for Sullivan and only two people shuffling off this mortal coil for them to replace too. I'm pretty sure the number of weddings is a record too, though one I have hit before. Shall I try for five next round? Just kidding!

I have no one even engaged right now but I can tell you that we will be seeing at least one engagement and subsequent wedding in Sullivan next round. :D

Round 35 Summary

Whew, yet another round down! Here's the run-down:

Births: 6 (Gemma Ashton, Matias Miguel, Zoe Benton, Elisa Hamilton, Mason Novak, Eliza Benton)

Notes:

• The gender ratio is way more out of whack if you break it down by age group, as poor Ruby is more than aware of. ;)
• Hopefully, Brigit's profile will be up by the time this post is but if not, I've just been lazy/busy - it's not broken!

Round 34 Summary

In Round 33's summary, I said that round took forever but this one really took forever! I enjoyed it (crashing issues and pink flashing aside) but I am glad to say goodbye to it as well. Here's a rundown of what went on.

Births: 4 (Alex Moretti, Cole Hamilton, Wren Novak and Oscar and Stella Lachance)

Deaths: 1 (Hanna Novak)

Engagements: 3 (Jack and Audrey Benton, Amar Hamilton and Adrienne Novak, Edward Lachance and Lucy Gray)

Total population: 146 (72 males and 74 females)

Babies: 4
Toddlers: 7
Children: 24
Teens: 13
Adults: 76
Elders: 22

I've put new residents as zero but that can't be right. The population count was 139 last round but I've gone up by 7, with only 4 babies and 1 death. So apparently, 4 people entered the hood, somehow? I have no idea who they were, so I haven't listed them. Just noting that I am aware of the discrepancy!

Round 33 Summary

Phew! Round 33 took forever. And I realised I forgot to play Zelda and Tate. They somehow didn't end up on my schedule, which is weird. Oh well...I definitely have them scheduled for next round!

Round 31 Summary

Weirdly, I am still perfectly balanced with the male-female ratio. And it's kind of weird to say that a round where 5 babies were born was a slower one but compared to last round, it really was!

Deaths: 0

Engagements: 2 (Ethan and Maia Novak, Miles and Matilda Jacobson)

Round 27 Summary

Whoa, that's definitely a record amount of break-ups! And my population didn't go up as much as I thought it had - I always forget to factor in the deaths.

Round 22 Summary

What? Could this really be Sullivan? Only two babies born this round? Don't worry, I'm sure it won't happen again! ;)

Just FYI, my playable NPCs (who you saw in my post yesterday) do not count in the round summary, even though you will soon see them in the birthday posts. I always take pictures of them when I go in to age them up anyway, so I might as well post them. You know, considering birthday posts take me about 5 minutes to write!

Round 21 Summary + tax rundown

This round, I started doing taxes again. I'd stopped doing them for a while because I was using Bigger Bills and many of my Sims were way too poor to pay! So I got discouraged and pretended the taxes were part of the bills.

I've taken that hack out now though and am doing taxes manually again. I've decided my Sims will pay taxes every 4 years - they paid in 2013 this round, so the next taxes won't be until 2017.

Round 20 Summary

Statistically, 2011-2012 seemed a little quieter than 2009-2010 but I really enjoyed this round anyway!

Births: 3 (Hope Collins, Jack Benton, Charlie Benton)

Deaths: 1 (Brandon Kirby)

Engagements: 2 (James and Madelyn Novak, Wade Gottlieb and Amelia Moretti)

Marriages: 1 (James and Madelyn Novak)

Break-ups: 1 (Abhijeet Turner and Asha Royce)

Graduations: 3 (Max Nihill, Wade Gottlieb, Zaria Royce)

New residents: 1 (Susannah Carmody)

Total population: 88 (40 male, 48 female)
Babies: 3
Toddlers: 7
Children: 14
Teens: 6
Adults (including Young Adults): 46
Elders: 12

I ummed and aahed over whether to include Susannah as a birth or a new resident. I decided on new resident in the end because it wasn't really a birth, as she was already a year old. This round's other adoption, Jack Benton, was included as a birth because he was a newborn.

Round 19 Summary

Turns out 2009-2010 in Sullivan was way more busy than I thought it would be!

Births: 5 (Tessa Novak, Rebecca Kirby, Dominic Lachance, Nathan Collins, Malcolm Novak)

Deaths: 3 (Xanthia Benton, Drusilla Clarke, Ottilie Draper)

Engagements: 1 (David and Kirstin Sitko)

Marriages: 3 (Jonas and Tatiana Lachance, Owen and Naomi Novak, David and Kirstin Sitko)

Break-ups: 2 (Caleb Moretti and Abigail Lachance, Luc Lane and Rose Draper)

Graduations: 0

New residents: 0

Total population: 84 (39 male, 45 female)
Babies: 3
Toddlers: 4
Children: 12
Teens: 8
Adults: 46
Elders: 11

I don't believe I've ever had two break-ups in one round before but I have also never had zero graduations. If they all pass, I should have four graduations next time.

Round 18 Summary

FYI, I will still be doing these round summaries when I switch to the new system but I'm not sure yet if I'll do them every round or every couple of rounds. Seeing I'm only aging everyone 2 years, I'm assuming not as much will change but I'll have to play a bit and see how it works out.

Onto the summary...

Births: 5 (Sarah Carmody, Adrienne Novak, Ethan Novak, Calvin and Troy Clarke)

Deaths: 4 (Raffaella Novak, Elias Draper, Samson Clarke, Petra Gottlieb)

Engagements: 2 (Owen Nihill and Naomi Novak, Jonas Lachance and Tatiana Moretti)

Marriages: 1 (Emil and Anna Collins)

Break-ups: 0

Graduations: 4 (Tatiana Moretti, David Moretti, Kirstin Sitko, Abigail Lachance)

New residents: Jesse Carmody

Total population: 81 (35 male, 46 female)
Babies: 0
Toddlers: 3
Children: 14
Teens: 4
Adults (including Young Adults): 45
Elders: 13

Did it feel like there were way more deaths than four? It did to me but maybe that was just because most were clustered at the end of the round like that. It's been ages since I've only had one wedding too!

It looks my population growth is steadying - Sullivan only grew by one Sim this round! I'm sure I'll fix that next round. ;)
