I’m playing the premade of Pleasantview and I’ve played somewhat rotationally but now it’s all kind of a mess.

Mary Sue and Daniel and elders: Lilith and Angela are graduated adults married to graduated adult Dirk and Dustin, respectively.

Beau, Lucy Burb and soon Alexander are Freshmen.

But here’s where I’m stuck. Brandi is still and adult with twin children. (John and Jennifer Burb are still adults with a child and a new baby)

Dina is still an adult in her second child…. Alexander is sticking ariund to help with his half siblings and I’ll send him off right before he ages.

Nina and Don are… Nina and Don. I kind of want to keep them adults for a little while to fulfil their LTW (which they and head cannon Nina bringing Age Defying powers to Earth and that’s why Don was meddling with Bella Goth after learning what Mortimer was trying to discover).

Long story short: should I look at my oldest Sim (probably Mary-Sue and/or Daniel) and then play Brandi, Dina, and the Burbs, until they are elders of around the same age?

I worry that will mess up the kids’ age? That they will be teens and need to go to college while Lucy and Beau etc are still finishing school.

This sounds so confusing but any pointers would help!

I’ve only ever had my sims pass with flying colours and move on with their lives. I tend to line up the tasks and skill building and play on Triple Speed.

Now that I’m starting to slow down and build friendships and skills with a Lifetime Want/ career in mind, I’m starting to think “how do people fail or drop out?”. What’s the reason behind it aside from unexpected pregnancy (which I do t think I can experience in my game as I don’t use mods or cheats like that). I’m just curious and want to learn a bit from others’ creativity because I’m too success- driven in my game play.

I’m thinking of having Beau Broke drop out because he’s a family sim and just wants to start his life and help Brandi achieve her LTW and moving back home to be close to his mom. What have you guys done?
