some Desiderata updates (part 2):
~ Stephen Aspir aged up into a toddler and his big sister, Madeline, taught him a nursery rhyme
~ a newly adult Damien Bell proposed to Cecelia Jocque...the next day, Augustin Jocque died of old age (my second born-in-game sim to do so)...and, the last day, a very pregnant Cecelia and Damien tied the knot, becoming yet another Bell family offshoot
~ Alexis Bell, daughter of Augustin Jocque (RIP) and Riley Bell, ages up to an adult and promptly begins an affair with Samuel Picaso (he DOES want six kids and his current wife is no longer able to conceive, so...)
~ over at a Contrary family offshoot, Francine Contrary (daughter of Edward and Opal) passed away from old age (first born-in-game sim to pass on)...her pregnant daughter Vera randomly got abducted by aliens...Isabel gets her first kiss from Boyce Mole...and a newly aged Emma Contrary gets in a quick joke at her pregnant mother’s expense
