Like I said in my previous post, this isn't the end of this family but I'm having mild issues with TS3 on my new PC so it is the end of them for now.
When they return it'll be with Ellis, Finn and Grayson going to University (bc I'm dying to play TS3 uni lmao) and then once they graduate I'm going to play the rest of their lives (or one of their lives depending on who my fave ends up being) and one of their kids will go on to be part of or found a brand new legacy!
Once the triplets left university I decided to continue with Ellis as the heir. He went on to marry his university girlfriend Sophie and they had five children. I stopped playing I think when the youngest kids (twins) were toddlers.
I had Finn bring back Hanna from university but other than that all of Ellis' siblings did what they wanted in terms of relationships and babies. Desta ended up being the only one to not have any children
In terms of what the family are up to now...
Madelyn (Ellis third daughter) moved to Hidden Springs and became the founder of the Not So Berry challenge
and Debbie (Grayson's daughter) moved to Appaloosa Plains and became the owner of a dog who founded a 100 Puppy Challenge
Both of these challenges are currently being posted on my YouTube if you want to check them out!
As for the rest of the Sims, I kinda have a vision of having one massive TS3 family tree where all my saves are connected somehow so I don't wanna go too crazy with just playing with this family (I have other saves to build up and I also want to add in new families too) but a couple of the final generation kids will definitely pop up again in some way at some point. I'm just not sure exactly what or when that'll be just yet
