I gave up on sorting everyone's needs out and cheated to get their motives up. Don and Nina are now on their honeymoon on Twikkii Island, in a luxury resort! Cassandra attended their wedding and knocked the bin over in anger

I love how autonomous they are sometimes. Nina's kid FINALLY grew into a child so I don't have to deal with him needing a diaper change every ****ing minute. But Dina's toddlers...FFS they're annoying.
It's so nice that EA gave away TS2 with expansions and stuff for free. I never got some of these SPs + EPs so it's cool having them free!
Also installed The Sims 4, gonna give it a shot later. The Sims 3 was good, but I think it kinda lacked the charm that The Sims 2 had; it felt like they were focusing too much on graphics and pointless cash-grabbing opportunities (Town Life Stuff anyone?) than trying to recreate the massive capabilities of TS2. It's a shame that Sims 2 never had something like Showtime, I really wish there was a celebrity style system.
