As mentioned in passing awhile back, Taylor and Candice enjoyed your basic suburban family life after graduation.
They made lots of friends.
Candice is Family, and always has Wants to invite people over and entertain them and all. It seems to be rubbing off on Taylor, too; even though he's Knowledge he gets them too. Although their house isn't as constantly full of visitors as the Danverses, it's close.
Taylor reached the top of the Science track.
His second Lifetime Want (he made his first back at Rooms to Let, before Candice graduated).
And they officially tied the knot.
I was going to have the whole ceremony and stuff, but I pushed the wrong button. Ooops!
Although Candice's lifetime want is to have a Golden Anniversary with Taylor, she also has other interests.
Candice's other interests.
Little Aaron showed up promptly, and took up residence in the foyer.
The happy couple found parenthood inspiring.
And by the time Aaron entered childhood, a sibling was on the way.
"Hello in there!"
Those "Have a Baby" Wants are so tempting.
They added a room for Aaron back behind the kitchen, so there'd be space in the foyer for Brett.
A happy family
I'm not sure who Aaron thinks he's talking to.
And just as Brett became a toddler, it happened again.
All those hormones.
Taylor got another 25K from returning to crime; the Mole Man strikes again!
Candice greatly enjoyed her third pregnancy.
This is the life!
Hm, since she has to be an Elder to get her LTW, I guess she can't spin up like "Have 10 children" after that? I hope? (That's Kaylynn Langerak in the background; she came over for a visit and carried Brett around for awhile. She and Candice like to hang out and talk about Family things.)
Heading for the bathroom one morning, Aaron found the foyer unusually cluttered.
"Thought I heard some sounds during the night."
Twins again! I've lost count, but Neighborhood One seems to be running somewhat over 10% in multiple births; luck of the dice.
Despite Taylor's reaching the top of various careers, there's never been alot of money in the bank for some reason. But the foyer was getting awfully crowded, and some building seemed pretty much required.
Aerial view
That's the new Children's Wing in the upper left; from left to right: Daphne, Charlotte, Brett (who's just entered childhood), and Aaron. ("Howcum your room's bigger than ours?" "'cause I was here first!") The rooms are connected by Maxis' Magical Sound-Deadening Archways (there was originally a narrow hallway running along the bottom of the wing, but it was too constricting.) Upper right is the vast cavernous bathroom; other rooms probably more or less self-evident. We'll probably add a second bathroom somewhere in the Children's Wing once they've saved up a little.
Candice now has a "have 10 children" Want, but that would mean putting off her Golden Anniversay for a long, long time... *8)
