| Vid the Kid's Sims 2 Stuff |
Rather than supply .sims2pack files (which are needlessly large IMO) I prefer to share blueprint-like floor plans, so people who like my layouts can build them themselves, making their own decoration choices (such as flooring, wall treatments, and furniture) and adapting the design to the particular lot they want to build on (especially considering residential lots aren't always flat).
Here you can read about what's going on with the many families in my own Sims game. (I have kept all of my households more or less in-synch since starting the Sim Suburb neighborhood, but I didn't begin journalling day-to-day events until about the end of the second week. That's why the SSG begins on the third Monday.)

She came to Sim State U from the west coast with her friends Laura Lane, a drama major, Megan Kennedy, taking econ classes, and Wendy Olsen, who majors in history. During their sophomore year, they make some new friends, and become closer to each other. Candice and Jaiden are doing great together, but the other girls aren't so lucky. Still, all four girls finish the year on the Dean's List.

Single man Roy uses his monday and tuesday off from his job as a Host to get closer to his girlfriend, Judith Weaver. He even puts on a few pounds because she says she likes that.

Wednesday night, he proposes to Judith and she says yes! The wedding is planned for saturday at Roy's place.
Rachel Bannon is a science teacher who lives alone, but has recently discovered a romantic interest in Jerry Weaver. (Vid's note: That makes two couples of J Weaver and R Bannon. I originally wanted Jerry to hook up with Rachel Newburg. When she arrived at the Weaver house, however, she brought the other Rachel with her, and Jerry got along better with Rachel Bannon.) On tuesday, Rachel is promoted to Project Leader. Jerry spent wednesday evening at Rachel's, and stayed overnight but skipped out early Thursday morning. Rachel has thurs. off, so she stays home and re-connects with her other friends.
Jeremy and Brandi Twain have a new baby, Marcus, to take care of. Their other children, Aaron and Erin, have gone to college already. Jeremy makes a ridiculous salary finding water with a stick, and Brandi sells great paintings, so they're covered financially. On tuesday, Marcus becomes a toddler. He starts to learn about walking, and using the potty, and he really likes the shapes toy.
Drew and Karen have a new baby, Lexington, to take care of. Nobody has a job (Drew got fired recently) but they have a lot of cash inherited from their parents. On tuesday, Drew gets a job as a Party DJ. That night, Lex becomes a toddler. Thursday, he figures out walking and talking, and he masters the potty on friday morning.
Joey and Zelda habe a big house and no children. Zelda wants kids, but at the moment they are focusing on their careers. Wednesday night, Zelda is promoted to Fashion Photographer. Thursday morning, it looks like Zelda is pregnant, so she asks Joey to marry her. They both have the day off, so they get a marriage license that day, without ceremony.
Erin is feeling down, so she throws a sports party. Meanwhile, Aaron makes friends with Brandon, and Ricky continues to apologize to Caryl. At the end of sophomore year, the group moves into their own house, inviting Caryn and Brandon to join them. The six of them spend much of the semester adjusting to a lifestyle that is, surprisingly, about as hectic as the dorm! By the time they're halfway through junior year, however, everyone's doing fine. Caryn isn't mad at Ricky anymore, and Brandon has come to accept that his really hot friends Jake and Aaron won't be splitting up any time soon, leaving him and Erin without boyfriends for the forseeable future.
Jack and Janet want another kid, so they try to conceive on wednesday afternoon. Berjes King drops by for the evening and spends some time with Kimesha and Taye. The next few days, Jack works out, Taye and Kimesha do homewrk and keep up with friends, and Janet eats and sleeps for two.
Greg Smith is getting up there in years, so he ves for each day. Going to the park to flirt with younger women, hanging out with his grandsons -- but not at the same time, mind you.
Alexis works at a restaurant and Ronald is a star on Broadway. Berjes, their recently-adopted teenage son, is an A+ student. Wednesday night, Alexis is promoted to Executive Chef.
