#Rich and Latoya never did end up having a kid of their own but Clarissa and Kale have kids of their own

Deathhh

It was their time

So I realized that Rich had two days left to live, and I wanted him to have the same death as Bernard Broke, which is drowning. So, after a day of playing in the household (they moved into the same house that Mary Lu and Buck used to live in, in Britechester, which was weird), I took him over to the gym and put him in the pool.

He pretty quickly started to have a not-good time, until it finally happened.

The terrible thing (more terrible than drowning an old man 2 days before he was going to die naturally) is that Buck saw all this happen. It was awful when I realized that he was there.

Since I only brought Rich, the game flung me back to Latoya's family, so I kinda lost the tombstone. I checked the inventories of all the Sims nearby, and even moved around the foundations and the pool, in case it was there, but I couldn't find it. So that kinda sucks, but after killing Rich, I decided to hang out with Laurie and Summer again for the first time in a while, until Laurie and Summer died of old age.

For some reason, Summer had a fear of being cheated on, I guess because Laurie hadn't been laying it on thick enough that she loved her wife enough to leave her asshole partner and two sons, but whatever. I had Laurie flirt with her a few times, and it was fine.

Just some elderly sapphics <3

While I was there, I had Shawna get closer with her daughter, Evangeline (whose dad is Kale, who is Latoya's son. Weird.)

Flower Day also rolled around, and both Ali and Evangeline had a fun time. Laurie didn't really have as much fun, since she was skill building for a hopeful promotion (she didn't get it), or sleeping.

Eventually, the day came for Laurie to die, and it was actually in the middle of the night. Somehow Summer didn't wake up, but Ali was up, and she saw it all happen. It's all so terrible to think about, honestly.

Ali then got a want to be friends with the Grim Reaper (for some reason??), so she did, by spamming interactions until he finally left.

When Summer woke up, she seemed completely destroyed, which is utterly understandable.

What's less understandable is the fact that Shawna and Evangeline were completely unaffected by it. I mean, I'm just comparing it to when Trigger grew up and immediately was mourning Moira's death, despite her dying while he was still a baby. Also, Sims will usually be upset when a Sim they know dies, or even if they see a Sim die, so I don't get why they're so unbothered by it. Laurie was Shawna's stepmother, and Evangeline's step-grandmother, if that's the proper term.

Idk, maybe when I load into their family again, they'll be sad.

I was planning on waiting for Summer to die of old age as well, but according to MCCC, she somehow accrued 34 bonus days? I didn't even know Sims in TS4 had something like bonus days (I know that in The Sims 2, if your Sim ages up with a platinum aspiration, they get bonus days), much less how she managed to get them. I mean, if anyone should have gotten them, it should have been Laurie, since she completed her aspiration. But because of those 34 days, I will instead go over to Buck, Mary Lu, and Trigger, because it's probably time for a new family member.
