Give Birth and Drop Dead
Ancient Sim:
Well, yet another choking death - this time the YA hadn't even had chance to become an adult. He recovered from the 'flu at a graduation party in another dorm and I thought "Aye-aye ...". Went to his lot and he was asleep. A message came-up instantly saying he had got better (the second message) and then I KNEW. He woke-up very soon and choked to death. As usual, the game conspired to stop anyone being able to get to the Reaper because (a) they were all asleep and (b) his door was locked. Not to be deterred, I woke his girlfriend up (who happens to be the Sim version of moi) and teleported her in. She managed to save him. Pity really, because although he looks really nice from the front, in profile he is hideous. He's Amin Sims' son and has a chin and nose that stick out so far it's a wonder he doesn't do serious damage with them. His twin sister is very attractive, though. I am also a teeny bit concerned that when I teleported in the Sim version of me, instead of being upset that her/my boyfriend was dead on the floor, she immediately tried to leave the room to go play on the stupid swing. Maybe I should have made me a bit nicer ...
Now, to Tristram & Isolde (are they in Veronaville?!). By all means send pics if you want - can you not put them up at http://www.photobucket.com and add a link? In my game, it's Cassandra who goes for the rather affected names. She has Anastasia & Aristotle to Don, Desdemona & D'Arcy to Darren, plus Dante who's adopted (he was originally called DON of all things - as if Darren was going to put-up with that). Allegra's son to Castor was originally called something I can't remember, but when she died he changed it to Allegro. His son to the Upsnott woman is called Torny (CasTOR/BrioNY ... I do a lot of names like that). She's Briony in my game because the Tombstone of L&D had already made me a Brittany and she's an elder now married to Robert Broke (3rd son of Brandi). I won't have repeat names because it's confusing, especially when you don't know who it is they've been woo-hooing with.
Oh, while we're on the subject of deaths, my second nanny has gorn. She'd been hanging about in the Sorority lot for at least a week after someone brought her with them when they were invited over (I have no idea why, I don't think he even knew her). After constantly falling asleep standing-up (usually blocking toilet doorways), stinking the place out, etc., etc., the Reaper eventually got her. So now I am just down to one original nanny, Karen Gast. She's the only one that's even reasonably OK, but even she's been acting a bit stupidly lately so I may have to give her a bit of a kick up the proverbials if she doesn't pull her socks up. I am down to two nannies now, Karen and Kendal Lawson's replacement; so far the game hasn't spawned a new one, but no doubt it will once I go into a lot that would normally be serviced by the latest dead one. I downloaded this amazingly ugly old baglady today from MTS2 and am thinking of making her a nanny.
I may lose another set of lips for this totally pointless, space-wasting ramble ...

I'll get the photos uploaded and let you have a link when I've done it. Actually, this is a Pleasantview game, I never play Veronaville. I just gave them wierd names because their parents have wierd names. All my CAS families in this game have names of British towns and cities. I do have duplicate names sometimes, mainly because I forget I've already used a name once - more often with male sims as there are so many less male names floating around in my mind than female ones, so it gets harder to think up a new one!
Touch wood, but I've had no choking deaths, in fact death is quite rare in my game. I think it's due to Gnomon's flamingoes!
I've posted this link, but I don't know if you'll be able to access it.

Just a footnote - I moved Lilith into the Nova household when she finally decided to graduate, as I didn't think the Novas could manage the toddler stage and go to work and I didn't want the nanny! Lilith was amazing, never once complained about anything except emptying potties and cleaning high-chairs! Helped with skill-building, never moaned about not having a job, and only got the Get Job want once the kids were at school!
Now, Lilith in game regards these kids as family, snuggle, family kiss etc., but when I checked in SimPE, there's no relationship - which of course there isn't - so since she isn't a step-parent, but just an "auntie", I thought this was cute!
gali:
ZZ, your link is wrong. I am member of Yahoo, and couldn't enter your link. The first one was OK - did you updated it? Try it again.
ZephyrZodiac:
Gali, I didn't have any problems, just tried it again and the folder is there. If you can't access it, I'll put the Briefcase link in again as well.
