I graduated eight premade guys from Sim State and moved them into Pleasantview to play out their lives. They all got married either to townies or other Sim State graduates. There were a lot of kids--four sets of twins out of eight families!--plus one alien abduction, one death and subsequent resurrection into a different household, some cheating, and a couple of divorces. The oldest kids just got shipped off to university.

Kevin Beare got caught cheating in the most unexpected way. I was playing Brandi Broke, and she had invited her married boyfriend Kevin over. Then, Kevin's wife Naenae just showed up on Brandi's doorstep, uninvited, and rang the doorbell. She and Brandi had 0/0 relationship. Brandi's daughter let her in just as Brandi and Kevin were engaging in a flirt. Slapping ensued. I have to believe that Naenae had her suspicions, based on how many times Brandi had been calling Kevin lately, and decided to see for herself. Well, she did.

Strangetown is wrapped up for the rotation. Most of the families did the work-and-school routine without much else happening.
The Curious brothers welcomed Vidcund's son Nicolai and Lazlo's twins Paul and Marie. Pascal's Hildegaard learned to walk. Vidcund has decided to ask Erin Beaker to marry him, and Erin Beaker has decided that she wants Vidcund to ask her to marry him, so that'll happen next rotation unless something goes wrong in between. Lazlo is feeling very . . . stuck. He's not sure about the alien parenthood thing, he hasn't got a girlfriend, and the only thing he's really enjoying these days are his fruit trees. But part-and-full aliens are required to live in Strangetown, so . . .

The newcomer in the neighborhood is young Ash Wood, formerly of Emerald Heights. He's enlisted in the Army, he didn't have the grades for college, and he's excelling so far. It's not what he wants to do, but it's a job, it's a roof over his head (the barracks run under $200 a week) and he's learning some useful skills and making some friends. His sister Holly showed up at the pool when he went down there after work, so he's happy about catching up with her, too. Life out from under his parents' roof definitely has things to recommend it, even if he's got little money and few possessions.
