Family Structure: Couple

Number of Children: 1

Careers:
Reiley – Business
Spouse – Law Enforcement (Forensics)

Generational Goal: Hobby, or Obsession
Choose carefully, young ones.

Pick a “Hobby” for your Sim, based on their traits, or on their character as you see them. The heir (and spouse where applicable) must spend at least 5 Sim hours a week pursuing their hobby. Your Sim must not make money from this hobby. If you use writing, then only use “Practice Writing” and not “Write a Book”.

Miscellaneous Fun: Tattoo Addict
Your Sim must have a new tattoo every Sim week (Sunday to Saturday). The addict can be the heir or the spouse/partner (unless you’ve rolled single parent; then obviously the heir must be the addict).

 … SEE How Generation 2 Did!

Generation 2
Family Structure: Couple ~ yes
Number of Children: 2 ~ yes
Careers: Author and Artist
At the time Reiley ages into YA,
1) Kayla (Author) is a Prize Winning Artist – L8
2) Jeremey (Artist) is a Master of the Brush – L10
Generational Goal: Fulfilled ~ working on it
LTWs HAVE been obtained: Kayla for “Professional Author” and Jeremey for “The Culinary Librarian”
Wishes are still being pinned and fulfilled as both have days before reaching Elder stage
Miscellaneous Fun: Runs in the Family ~ yes
I wrote down all of the traits that Kayla and Jeremey had & rolled a die. The trait that was passed along to Reiley and Rosie is Easily Impressed

I consider Generation 2 to be a success!

Fall has ended and Winter has begun! The Snyder family continues to have birthday celebrations and that means it is time for Reiley and Rosie to graduate high school!! Congrats, Grads!!!
