Pinedale
I've been playing Pinedale (also called Greater Pinedale) since last November, and am on round 7. There are currently ten households, with the first teens heading off to the recently created University (very creatively named Pinedale University). The oldest teen didn't get to go to University, because it was only created after he'd already become an adult. All of the houses, apartments, and community lots in the main 'hood were built by me, and I built the dorms in the University, but used maxis community lots which I will probably renovate.Here's a neighbourhood picture of (Greater) Pinedale at the current time. (The picture is a little big, so I've hidden it under a spoiler)
It's not the most decorated 'hood, but I'm pretty attached to the little (and big) pixels that live there. I'll do family summaries in the coming posts, and when those are done I'll try and update you all on what's been going on after each family's round.

It's so cute! I've always been a fan of that SC4 Terrain.
I always go all out with decorating my 'hoods, but sometimes I overlook the little pixel people who live there. I'm excited to hear more about Pinedale! Does it have a backstory to it?

The Sloan Family
Rowan and Esta Sloan were the first family to settle down in Pinedale. They have three children and three grandchildren (at this moment in time).
Rowan is a socially awkward, cowardly, unlucky loner with a dog allergy, so how he managed to get the beautiful Esta to fall for him is a complete mystery. He's a family sim first and foremost, but he also has aspirations to be popular (which is difficult thanks to his uncanny ability to always say the wrong thing in social situations), and he's hoping to reach the top of the education career one day.
Esta is a dyslexic virtuoso who loves the outdoors, but can't grow a plant to save her life, and is very artistic. She's a popularity sim with a soft spot for grilled cheese.
Esta loves to paint, and she owns her own art supply/instrument shop where she also sells her paintings. Now that her children are older she finds a lot more time to go there and help other residents to realise their artistic talents.
Frank is the oldest child of Rowan and Esta. He is a childish, disciplined, technology lover, who inherited his mother's love of the outdoors, and his father's dog allergy (thanks Dad!). He's a romance sim who also loves making friends, and he hopes to be known for his sports talent. Frank is married to Shanna, and they currently have one child together.
Shanna is Frank's wife, and his first ever girlfriend (he's a pretty rubbish romance sim). She is a vegetarian technology lover, who loves to make bets, is skeptic about whether aliens actually exist (spoiler: they do, they live in Pinedale), and has a natural talent for selling things. She's also a romance sim, who also likes money. She works at a record store at the moment.
Cyrus is Frank and Shanna's only child, and the oldest grandchild of Rowan and Esta. He's just a toddler at the moment, but his mum's skeptical ways have rubbed off on him. He is disciplined like his father.
Bessie is the middle child of Rowan and Esta. She is a nurturing, hydrophobic, cowardly and unlucky like her father, and has a natural talent for music like her mother. She's a fortune sim, who is also interested in having a good time. Bessie has recently moved to University, and will be sharing a dorm with the rest of the teens who head off this round. She's the mother of twin boys who are being raised by her parents until she finishes University, and is engaged to Bristol Lewis-Neal. (I recently changed my default eyes and skintones, which is why Bessie's teen and young adult pictures look a bit different.)
Lonny and Rhett are the twin sons of Bessie and her fiance, Bristol. Lonny is nurturing like his mother, and in the future he'll have superior flirting skills like his dad.
Rhett is unfortunately hydrophobic like Bessie, but he inherited an eye for photography from Bristol. The boys are currently being raised by Rowan and Esta, so that their parents can finish their education.
Lenora is the youngest Sloan sibling, and the only one still living at home (at least until she goes to University next round). She is a natural cook who hates the outdoors,
who also inherited her father's dog allergy and her mother's musical talent. She thinks that knowledge is extremely important, but she also values family as well. Len is currently dating Roger Mulloy.

I love the Three Lakes terrain, the different elevations make it really interesting. I didn't really create a backstory for Pinedale, but it doesn't have any real connection to the land around it, so it's possible that the first founders were blown towards the shore in a boat, or are survivors of a shipwreck/plane crash. Now that Pinedale is more established more sims know about it and are coming to settle down there on purpose

Pinedale looks rather beautiful! I also used to use the 3-lakes terrain, yet I lost that hood to corruption. The whole hood was obscured with rocks The Sloan family is SO adorable, and they sound rather well-developed. I can't wait to hear more! In my opinion, Esta and Lenora are rather pretty, and all the male sims are handsome (of course).~And I anticipate seeing some aliens, perhaps ?

Oohhh, a new neighborhood. It's a lovely layout, and good reading. The Sloan family sound very interesting, so much so, I await more. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you I use a trait system in my hood, which I try and match up with their personality points so that a naturally slobby sim doesn't have the neat trait, for example. Esta and Rowan were the first sims that I created in this hood, and now they're elders it makes me sad because they'll be gone in the next few rounds There will definitely be aliens, I can tell you that much!

Thank you I have a lot of pictures that I've taken over the sim years so far, I will probably share a few of those after I have finished introducing the families.

Thank you I'm glad you think that my sims are interesting, that's always a worry when sharing things; I adore my little pixels but will others enjoy hearing about them? More will be arriving soon

The Mulloy Family
Roger Mulloy and Georgina House first arrived in Pinedale separately. They lived in separate houses for one round (5 sim days), and then decided to move in together. Georgie made sure to get some roomates before moving out, so that she could hand over her house to them and it wouldn't fall into disrepair. The couple have two children and no grandchildren, and an adorable kitty.
Kenzie Mulloy is a lucky, rebellious, brave, eco-friendly, technophobe. He dislikes any and all technology, and would rather be reading a book than watching a film about a chicken thank you very much. He's a romance sim (albeit a rather rubbish one, as most of them are in my hood), who is also interested in money. Kenzie works in the music career, currently as a roadie, and is hoping one day to be a rock god and remembered for his musical talents.
Georgina (aka Georgie) is a mature, ambitious, computer whiz who is flirty, and has a natural star quality about her. She's a pleasure sim with a love for money and the finer things in life. Georgie is a retired dance video star, but she often gets spotted in the street and asked for an autograph (which she loves). Now she just spends her days at home watching her children grow up, and painting.
Roger is the oldest son of Kenzie and Georgie. He's disciplined and artistic, inherited his maturity from his mother, and has the same eco-friendly ideals as his dad. Roger is a fortune sim, but that doesn't mean he doesn't value his family as well. He is employed in the gamer career for the moment, and will attend University next round. He is dating Lenora Sloan (and they will make cute babies).
Jonathan is the youngest Mulloy son; a late-in-life surprise baby for Kenzie and Georgie. He's a night owl who loves computers like his mum, and is also interested in being eco-friendly like his dad and brother. I don't know a lot about Jonathan yet, he hasn't had much chance to go to school and meet the other children of Pinedale because his first day was a snow day (typical). He just acquired a pet womrat that he's named Hamtaro.
Lastly is pretty kitty Moon. Moon has been with Kenzie almost from the time that he moved to Pinedale, and she's such a sweet cat. All of the Mulloy family are friends (or best friends) with her, and she enjoys a lazy life lounging around the house.

The Lewis-Neal Family (this will be a long one, so get ready!)
Sadie Neal moved to Pinedale by her lonesome. Her alien heritage meant she was getting passed over for promotions and being discriminated against on a daily basis, despite many of her colleagues insisting that that wasn't the reason. On her arrival she met and fell in love with townie, Claire Lewis, and they decided to get married (they woohoo'd on the first date, it was meant to be). They now have nine children and two grandchildren, and a dog.
Sadie was the first alien sim to live in Pinedale. She's an easily impressed, dramatic, artistic, angler, who is a fan of all things supernatural (including herself). She's a popularity sim who enjoys going out and having fun. Sadie owns her own business, a produce stand/grocery store where she sells fruits and vegetables that she's grown, fish that she catches, and novels that she and her wife write. It's very popular, and all of Pinedale's residents buy their groceries from her. Now that she's older, and the children are as well, she spends a lot more time pottering about at home instead of in the garden or fishing in the pond, and she's hoping to pass the store to one of her children.
Claire is a sim created by gayars here on mts (and also leefish), who ever so kindly let me put her in my game. She was a townie to start with, but after meeting and falling in love with Sadie she moved in and became a resident of Pinedale. She is an easily impressed, good, hopeless romantic, who is rubbish at gardening, and has an eye for photography. She's also a family sim with a love of grilled cheese. Claire works in the politics career as a campaign manager right now, and I haven't decided if she'll retire on becoming an elder or not. At one point in time she had a locked want to have ten children, but after the ninth child entered the family she started to fear having/adopting a baby, and so I unlocked the want. She and Sadie have the largest family in Pinedale (so far).
Bristol is the oldest child of the Lewis-Neal bunch, well joint oldest because he has a twin brother. Bristol is brooding, flirty, inherited Sadie's artistic talents, and Claire's horrible gardening skills and her eye for photography. He's a fortune sim, who values knowledge as a way to acquire all the money. Bristol will be going to University this round to join his fiancee (and mother of his twins) Bessie Sloan. When he's graduated, he and Bessie will be moving back into her childhood home to relieve her parents of their child rearing duties (and probably spawn a few more kidlets).
Eden is the twin brother of Bristol. He's an ambitious schmoozer who is artistic like Sadie, and is also a horrible gardener like Claire. Eden is a romancer who values money, so he'll probably become a gold digger or something similar. He's not dating anyone at the moment, but he has good chemistry with Lenora Sloan (nope) and townie Pamela Philips. He'll also be attending University this round.
Tara is the oldest adopted child of Sadie and Claire. She's athletic and dramatic and loves staying up late (or all night). She is also a supernatural skeptic, although how she can be with all the evidence in her house is pretty unbelievable, but maybe she's just skeptical that other supernaturals exist. She's a fortune sim who loves to have a good time. She's single right now, and she has negative chemistry with pretty much every teen boy in this 'hood. She'll be going to University next round.
Tish is the most recent adoptee of the Lewis-Neal household. She's a brooding, natural born performer who loves computers, and is great at gardening. Tish is a knowledge sim, who also values her family. She's still a bit of a mystery to me, as she was adopted so recently as a teenager. She's in love with Conner Thomason, a teen resident of Pinedale, who will (hopefully) become her boyfriend this round. She'll be going to University at the same time as Tara.
Nessa is the third biological child of Sadie and Claire. She loves technology, inherited her love of fishing and artistic talents from Sadie, and her goodness from Claire.
She loves to have a good time, and also enjoys spending time with her family. She's not really interested in any sim romantically right now, but she's a pretty new teenager, so she's got time.
Jan is the fourth biological child of Claire and Sadie. He was born on the same day that Hera was adopted, and so they are pretty much twins in that respect. He's an absent minded gatherer, who has his mother's love of all things supernatural, and his other mother's love of anything romantic. Jan is a huge family sim, but he also enjoys going out and having a good time. He's also a rather recent teen, and so has no romantic interest in other sims right now.
Hera is practically Jan's twin, even though she was adopted as a baby. She is shy and nurturing, loves fishing, but she's a little insane due to the circumstances surrounding her birth. Hera wants to acquire all the knowledge, but she'd also like to do a little romancing as well. She was the first baby that Claire and Sadie adopted (Tara was a child when she joined the family), and so she has a special place in my heart.
Marilou was also adopted as a baby. She's a handy computer whiz, but she can be a bit snobby at times. She recently made friends with Reid Ryan, and will be having her teen birthday this round. If you frequent the picture threads, you've probably seen her cute face in the expressions topic.
Cecilia is the youngest of the large Lewis-Neal clan. I was hoping that she'd be one of many, to assist Claire in reaching that 10 children want, but alas she popped out all on her lonesome. Cecilia is good like her mama Claire, easily impressed like her mama Sadie, and loves to fish like Sadie as well. She's crazy and random (I recently caught her jumping on Reid Ryan's parents' bed when she was visiting their house), and very much loved.
Paco is the family dog. He was adopted from Melvyn Plank, who's dogs gave birth to a litter of three puppies. Paco is a spoiled pooch who loves to get attention from his sims. Nessa is his favourite sim though.
Sadie was the first alien sim to live in Pinedale. She's an easily impressed, dramatic, artistic, angler, who is a fan of all things supernatural (including herself). She's a popularity sim who enjoys going out and having fun. Sadie owns her own business, a produce stand/grocery store where she sells fruits and vegetables that she's grown, fish that she catches, and novels that she and her wife write.

The Plank family
Melvyn and his twin sister, Ella, moved to Pinedale not long after the first settlers. They became roommates of Georgina House, and were soon left her house when she moved in with Kenzie Mulloy. Not long after that Ella and Melvyn fell in love, and Melvyn moved out to his own house. This will be about Melvyn's family, and Ella's family will be in the next post.
Melvyn and his twin sister, Ella, are based on DeeDee-Sims' Tristan Woods . Melvyn is a lucky, dyslexic, slob, who is a workaholic, and loves the outdoors. He is a pleasure sim, who also enjoys a little romance now and then. Melvyn is working in the culinary career, hoping one day to become a celebrity chef. He married his wife, Xanthia, not long after moving to Pinedale and falling in love with her. They now have four children together.
Xanthia moved to Pinedale to find a fresh start. She definitely found just that in Melvyn, and was ecstatic to become his wife. She is neat, mature, dyslexic, unflirty, and can't stand art. Xan loves being surrounded by a lot of friends, and she wouldn't mind having a lot of money. She is also working in the politics career as a campaign worker, although I'm not sure if she's working the same campaign as Claire Lewis-Neal or a rival one. She is a very dedicated mother, and loves spending time with her children.
Tay is the oldest child of Melvyn and Xanthia. He's an unlucky angler, who loves the outdoors like his dad, and is mature like his mum. He enjoys getting out of the house and having fun, and also enjoys spending time with his family. Tay is a fairly new teenager, and he's not really interested in anyone romantically yet.
Gale is the oldest of the Plank triplets (yes, triplets...). He is absent minded, mature like his mother, and a slob like his father. Gale is very close to his parents, but doesn't have great relationships with his siblings right now.
Izzy is the middle triplet, and only girl of the Plank family (poor thing). She is a natural cook, neat like her mother, and loves the outdoors like her father. She gets along alright with her brothers, but she is excited to get the chance to make girl friends at school.
Kade is the youngest triplet, and child, of the family (he's also my favourite child). Kade is a huge animal lover, loves the outdoors like his dad, and is dyslexic like both of his parents (there was a high chance that more than one kid would inherit this, so I was surprised that Kade is the only one). He is just adorable.
Lastly are the household pets, Smiley, Fluffy, and Oatmeal. Smiley is by DeeDee-Sims, and can be downloaded from her Tumblr page , Fluffy is a dog that I created, and Oatmeal is one of their three puppies (sister to Paco, and Ella's dog, Cam).
Melvyn and his twin sister, Ella, are based on DeeDee-Sims' Tristan Woods . Melvyn is a lucky, dyslexic, slob, who is a workaholic, and loves the outdoors.

Gale is the oldest of the Plank triplets (yes, triplets...). He is absent minded, mature like his mother, and a slob like his father. Gale is very close to his parents, but doesn't have great relationships with his siblings right now.
Izzy is the middle triplet, and only girl of the Plank family (poor thing). She is a natural cook, neat like her mother, and loves the outdoors like her father. She gets along alright with her brothers, but she is excited to get the chance to make girl friends at school.
Kade is the youngest triplet, and child, of the family (he's also my favourite child). Kade is a huge animal lover, loves the outdoors like his dad, and is dyslexic like both of his parents (there was a high chance that more than one kid would inherit this, so I was surprised that Kade is the only one). He is just adorable.
Lastly are the household pets, Smiley, Fluffy, and Oatmeal. Smiley is by DeeDee-Sims, and can be downloaded from her Tumblr page , Fluffy is a dog that I created, and Oatmeal is one of their three puppies (sister to Paco, and Ella's dog, Cam).

The Thomason family
Ella Thomason (nee Plank) is the twin sister of Melvyn Plank. She met her husband, Phoenix, at the local park, and they now have two children together.
Ella is a good, lucky, social butterfly, who can be a bit of a diva at times, and never manages to grow plants. She's a fortune sim, with a love of grilled cheese sandwiches Ella is employed in the architecture career, and is an architect's apprentice at the moment. She spends her free time playing video games, relaxing in the hot tub, and spending time with her husband and children.
Phoenix was the lucky townie that Ella fell in love with. He's an evil schmoozer, who is afraid of water, loves dogs, and is a bit of a slob. He is also a fortune sim, but he values his friends over grilled cheese. Phoenix is a criminal mastermind, and gets to go to work in a snazzy suit. Despite being evil he's a doting husband and father, and spends a lot of time playing with the family dog, Cam.
Conner is the older Thomason twin. He is disciplined, good like his mother, hates water and a schmoozer like his father. Conner loves having a good time at home or going out, and hopes to have a lot of money in the future. He is in love with Tish Lewis-Neal, and will become her boyfriend this round (hopefully).
Iona is the younger Thomason twin. She is lucky, bad at gardening and a social butterfly like her mother, and hydrophobic like her father. She is a romance sim, but she also loves being around her family. She hasn't clicked with any sim romantically, but she is best friends with her cousin, Tay.
The family dogs, Cam and Mackie! Mackie is a recent addition to the Thomason household, and Cam is the son of Melvyn's dogs. Cam and Mackie are expecting puppies soon.

The last four families in Pinedale I will do two to a post, because they're newer and smaller.
The Ryan Family
The Garver family
The Ryan Family
Ryan Ryan is one of many versions of the same sim that I've had in my game for a couple of years now. He was originally created to be a mad scientist who fathered many alien children, all of whom were called some variation of Ryan. Nowadays he's just a science nerd, but he holds a very special place in my heart.
Ryan is an avant garde schmoozer, with exceptional musical talents, is handy with a wrench, and loves his family. He values knowledge above everything else, but he also believes that earning enough money to live comfortably is good. He's a bit of a science nerd, but his chosen career is oceanography; he just loves getting to spend everyday with marine animals. Ryan has a wife and four children, with a fifth (or possibly more) on the way. He'd never have believed that he could have life this good.
Renee is Ryan's wife. They met pretty soon after Ryan had moved to town, and started a romantic relationship. Renee is flirty, friendly, and charismatic, she can be a bit of a diva at times, and she's also colour blind. She thinks that family is the most important thing, but she also values knowledge. Renee is in the Law Enforcement career, but she's been on permanent maternity leave for the last few years due to having four babies. She loves her kids, and is always proud of them no matter how small the thing.
Reid is the oldest son of Ryan and Renee. He was conceived not long after Ryan and Renee started dating, and was born just after their marriage. He is clumsy, loves fishing, friendly like his mum, and avant garde like his dad. He agrees with his mum that family is very important, but he does enjoy knowledge as well. He just recently aged up to a teenager.
Robin is the second born child of Ryan and Renee. He is a certified genius, a schmoozer like his dad, and charming (flirty) like his mother. Robin enjoys playing with his siblings, especially Reid, and doing homework.
Rosalind and Rex are the current youngest children. They're twins, which was unexpected, and are very close to becoming children. Rosalind loves spending time with her family like her daddy, and is charming like Renee. Rex can be a bit of a diva if he doesn't get what he wants (like his mum), and he is avant garde like Ryan. I'm looking forward to getting to know the twins more; especially how they react to the new baby.

The Garver family
Runa is one of the most recent arrivals to Pinedale. She has only been here for a few days, and doesn't really know anybody that well.
Runa was created because I wanted to play around with new asymmetrical sliders in cas, and I love how she turned out. She is an eccentric vegetarian who is great at playing instruments, likes everything to be perfect, and is skeptical that supernaturals exist (she's been told that she has some alien blood in her, but she doesn't believe it). Her job is a natural scientist, and she's currently a scatmaster. She's a family sim, who loves grilled cheese. So far she has just been going to work and meeting her neighbours. She did meet and have instant chemistry with Melvyn Plank, who is married with four children. She keeps booty calling him, and he keeps coming over to woohoo with her. Hopefully his wife won't find out. I think Runa is secretly trying to get pregnant, because she wants to graduate three children from college, which she can't do without any children!

The Schneider family
The Gross family
The Schneider's moved to Pinedale for it's fresh air and natural beauty (definitely not the fact that Ralph was bitten, absolutely not), and are enjoying getting to know their neighbours.
Henricus is a gay alien sim, and is enjoying the fact that he doesn't have to hide who he is anymore. He is frugal, eco-friendly, easily impressed, loves reading, and is a fan of everything supernatural. He's a family sim, who loves having fun. He's employed in the dance career, but might become a stay-at-home dad in the future.
Ralph just wanted to befriend the cute wolf, he didn't know it would bite him! Now he's a werewolf! Ralph would say he's a workaholic, adventurous, and good. He's colour blind and a huge supernatural fan, so being a werewolf is very interesting to him. He loves acquiring new knowledge, but he also likes to spend time with his family. He works in the journalism career.
Gaetana was just a toddler when the family moved to Pinedale, so she doesn't remember anything other than the fresh, mountain air. She's a disciplined little girl who inherited her love of the supernatural from her dads, and her frugalness from Henricus.
Radu was the first Schneider to be born in Pinedale. He's a sweet baby who loves being snuggled.

The Gross family
Phillipa Gross is my random legacy founder. Her rolls were: Couple, 2 children (2nd born will be heir), Sculptor, Unemployed, Fulfilled, and Fashion Diva. She and her wife and kids live in the Pinedale apartment building.
Phillipa is disciplined, hydrophobic, neat, avant garde, and has an eye for photography. She's a family sim, who enjoys having a lot of friends. She owns a little pottery shop, where she sells the things that she makes. Pippa met and fell in love with her townie wife very quickly, and they had a lovely wedding.
Crystal has been a townie since the founding days of Pinedale, and I've always planned to make her a playable sim. Now she's married to Pippa, and a mother! Crystal is a disciplined bookworm, who is easily impressed, hates dogs, and is a true slacker. She enjoys learning new things, and loves her family.
Kory, Jem, Ellie, and Nick are the quadruplets of Pippa and Crystal. They were a bit of a shock for me as I was only expecting one baby, and Pippa is only supposed to have two. Nevertheless they're here, and Jem is the heir of the legacy. I rolled his legacy parameters as soon as the quads were born, and this is what he got: Second chance, 3 children, Politics, Toy Maker, Law Enforcement, Deadbeat Parents, and Fighter.

You have a good diverse cast of hood sims! Are you going to add any tall pine trees to your hood (because it's pinedale?)
Uh oh! My social bar is low - that's why I posted today.

I got inspired to decorate Pinedale...
Yeah, lots of pine trees :D
I also built a second apartment building in the commercial area of Pinedale, and I'll put a few pictures under a spoiler. There are three apartments in the unit, each with three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms.

I'm glad the trees were a hit!
Not much happened during the Lewis-Neal and Thomason rounds, except for a few birthdays. Bristol & Eden are now young adults, and are at college, Marilou is now a teenager, and Claire is an elder. Tish and Conner are now dating. The Thomason twins don't age up for a few more rounds I believe, but they got their college scholarships already. The Thomason dogs, Cam & Mackie, had puppies this round as well; Cookie, Tank, & Sandy.
Old lady Claire.
Young adult Bristol Lewis-Neal. He gained the flirty trait.
Young adult Eden Lewis-Neal. He gained the clumsy trait.
Teenage Marilou Lewis-Neal. She gained the childish trait.
I have just finished the Plank family's round. Nothing happened apart from their dog, Fluffy, passing away Oh, and Melvyn became an elder. I gave the triplets a summer makeover, and took a new family photo, because the last one I took before the triplets were born.
Old man Melvyn
One cute family.
Now, onto the next family! Edit: I forgot a few things...Oops!

Thank you
An update on Frank's family. The house got an extension and a makeover this round, to cope with the growing family. Cyrus grew up into a child this round, made friends with Gaetana, and has a B in school. Frank got a promotion at work, so now he's a Starter in the athletic career. Shanna found out that she was pregnant and gave birth to Pinedale's second set of quadruplets: Kailin (ky-lin), Olly, Teo, and Caoimhe (kee-va). The quads became (cute) toddlers, and are driving Frank and Shanna insane. Once the quads become children next round Shanna will be able to go back to work. No more babies for this family (I hope!).
Big boy Cyrus. He gained the family oriented trait :lovestruc
Kailin Sloan. She is childish like Frank, and a vegetarian like Shanna.
Olly Sloan. He is disciplined like Frank, and will be more prone to have a gambling problem when he gets older like Shanna.
Teo Sloan. He is childish like Frank, and a vegetarian like Shanna.
Caoimhe Sloan. She is disciplined like Frank, and a born saleswoman like Shanna.
The Sloan house! It gained an extra storey this round, and a third bedroom (for the one baby I was expecting until Shanna birthed four of them).

I use Seri Sims' trait list and roll for the traits the sims will have. They don't get ones that conflict with their personality points though, otherwise it won't make much sense. For the sims born in game I give them two traits as a toddler, one from each parent, and then they get an extra trait each time they age up until they become a young adult, so they have five traits total.
For example: When Frank Sloan had his toddler birthday he gained the traits Loves The Outdoors from his mother, and a Dog Allergy from his father. On his child birthday he gained the Childish trait, on his teen birthday he gained the Disciplined trait, and on his adult birthday he gained the Technology Lover trait.
It just makes my sims more diverse, and it adds interesting things to the game play. Frank and his family can't have pet dogs, for example, because he has a dog allergy. His father and one of his sisters are also allergic to dogs, so neither of them will own a dog. If they interact with a dog then I have to drag their comfort bars down, to simulate their allergies.
I hope this makes sense!

I find this fascinating!
I'm not sure that I could keep up with everyone's traits and be good about going in and changing their levels but I would certainly like to include something like this in my game. Thanks for the wonderful idea!
So many things to learn; so few brain cells to process the info needed to learn things!
