Karen's family were the first of many people to fall victims to the mysterious disease. She moved here with her husband to help out, but it seems her husband was another victim as well. She is devastated. She's determined to figure out the truth behind whatever is going on!

Esra always wanted to make sure that her family kept on growing. She just adores the idea of having a large family. However, her dreams recently came to a halt when almost all her family members started to get ill and pass away shortly afterwards. How will they all cope with any of this?

  Esra always wanted a big family; kids, grandkids, etc... Except this! How did any of this happen?! She was supposed to spoil her grandkids, not raise them on her own! This is all too awful! The poor little ones!

Kouzai has worked very hard his entire life, and by the time he reached elderhood, it was time to sit down and relax. That's exactly what he did, until a few days ago.

Zephaniah never saw any of this coming. He never expected that this is how life will be during his golden years. It doesn't seems so golden anymore.

  Raz, and his twin sister, Runa, don't really know what's going on. They don't know where their parents are, but they have grandpa Zeph around, so that's good.

Are you bored? Tired? Or possibly feeling ill? Perhaps it's because of walking between multiple stores, in and out, to get what you want. You won't have to experience any of that in our One Stop Shop. SSOSS has everything you need all in one place!

I'll download this in the morning, but does anyone know how all the toddlers age up? I can sense some extreme features in their future.

TBH, we kinda didn't check either. It's all supposed to be a surprise. Hehe! :P

Make sure you let us know how they turn out to be though!

Enjoy!

Who can resist this? Certainly not I! Great idea and I am going to play it all weekend:)

Then it would be nice to at least see the faces of the deceased adults who are their parents...It's an interesting idea, but I feel like the pictures you've posted only represent a fraction of what your neighborhood is.

And maybe this is me being clueless, but I can't tell what ethnicities these sims are supposed to represent. From the names, they all sound American-ish, except for the Yins.

Y'all have been keeping this very close to your vests! I'd say there's cheesecake in the water - look at all those grumpy-looking little twins!

has anyone resurrected any parents like me? I have and moved them out with their toddlers leaving the old folk in the house.

As always a great neighborhood, thank you.

Interesting small town, I will play. Thanks!

Thank you all for the nice words.

And thank you for downloading Shady Shores! Enjoy!

I just want to let you all know that the subhood versions of Shady Shores have been uploaded.

I am enjoying this !! Plenty of story telling material :-)

UPDATE: After playing each household and studying thier photo albums and memories I have come to my own conclusion as to what caused the fatal illnesses. Currently I am playing each household until the elder grandparent has passed on and the children have reached thier teen years. (Playing mostly on full speed and using "max motives" as needed.) All of the tombstones (graves) are being moved to a cometary lot I plopped down on the edge of town. All of the teens are being sent off to college where they will either graduate or drop out (or be tossed out!). Because it has been determined that Shady Shore must remain unoccupied for at least one generation the teens (who will become adults after leaving college) will not be allowed to return to thier family homes. They will live out thier adult and elder years either Downtown or in a 'subhood'. Hopefully some of their children or grandchildren will return to repopulate Shady Shores.

Your "mystery" hoods are so GREAT! Big thanks. All my toddlers got cheered up right away, all potty trained and 2 learned to walk. I didn't let any grandparents get a job, so some families were "selling" bushes, etc. Toddlers are all kids now, so grandparents mostly got jobs. Had to move the tombstones on 2 families - didn't care if grandparent got fired, but some of the kids were near DEATH! And opps: before I had played any families, I was killing off the bin families. Jessica Picasso fancied some old guy so I let her have sex with him (via a mod) - so Mr. Klandestyne is also the FATHER of twins. Will wait till everyone is a teen to post pictures.

Here's Mr Yan, failing at potty training Kieran..

But the baby DID get potty trained, and became a happy teen..

Wow. Those pictures are great. I have no idea where the elf ears come from.

I'd love to see more pictures. Feel free to post your pictures in this thread. http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=561879
I'm sure they'll be great, as usual.
