Families
The Elwood Family

The Winter Family
Gary got abducted by aliens for the second time and as a result gave birth to Astrid. Marsha also gave birth earlier in the round to baby boy Michael. Byron lost his newfound lover when Jasmyn died.

The Smith Family
Ashton was very busy with his businesses this round and he managed to achieve his LTW to Own 5 Top Level Businesses! Lyla will have quite a few dates next round since Ashton's 2nd LTW is to Have 50 Dream Dates! Beverly moved to college to get a degree in Economics. Evan and Lance grew up into teens and Faye is now a child. The Smiths' dogs Alia & Chocolate also tried for puppies which will be born next round.
Left to right, back to front: Lance, Lyla, Ashton, Evan & Faye Smith.
The North Family
Nothing much happened this round. Oliver was promoted to Business Tycoon and earned Elwood Rose it's fourth business district. Joy and him continue to live together but neither of them shows any promise of settling down. Oliver has been on 20 out of the 50 dream dates needed to complete his LTW.
Left to right: Oliver North & Joy Landchild.
The North II Family
Crystal and Keiran's boys grew up. Keiran finished working on his car this round, becoming the first proud owner of a car in Elwood Rose. He also reached his LTW to become a Game Designer. Cedric is also the first Bi sim in Elwood Rose.
Left to right, back to front: Cedric, Crystal, Keiran & Kyle North.
The Elwood II Family
Michelle and Henry aged gracefully to elders this round. Peter moved out into his own house. Scarlett & Nikki grew up into adults and both already have quite successful careers. Daniel opted not to go to college. The triplets grew up, leaving diaper changing days finally behind for the proud but tired parents, Michelle and Henry.
Left to right, back to front: Daniel, Scarlett, Henry, Nikki, Celeste, Logan and Madison Elwood.
The Smith II Family
Holly achieved her LTW to reach the top of the Journalism career and now wants to open up 5 top-level businesses! Ian is also advancing in the Journalism career track. Both Piper and Isabelle grew up into adults and joined their parents into scoring many promotions. The family's dog Caramel had three puppies but the family had to give two of them up for adoption when they grew up because the house is too tiny to support 5 full-grown dogs. Piper started seeing a college professor this round and Isabelle is in cahoots with the resident Evil Witch, Willow McArthur.
Left to right: Piper, Holly, Ian and Isabelle Smith.
The Smith III Family
Katelyn & Dean welcomed their last child, baby girl Eva Smith this round. Nathan moved to college to get a degree in Mathematics. Katelyn was abducted by aliens but did not have any alien spawn. Elijah grew up into a teen and both Aubrey and Eva are now children.
Left to right, back to front: Dean, Katelyn, Elijah, Aubrey & Eva Smith.
The Elwood III Family
Three of Susannah and Lucas's kids left for college this round; James, Vincent and Matthew. Vincent moved to college partly to hide from his parents the fact that he is now a werewolf. Susannah reached the top of the Law Enforcement career and conveniently rolled the LTW to graduate 3 children from college! The family's cats had a kitten named Wizard. One could say this was a foreshadowing of what would happen to the youngest son in the family... Julian was turned into a wizard by Lyla Smith. Lucas is still repaying back the town fund loan he got in order to open up the Elementary School.
Left to right: Julian, Susannah, Lucas & Kira Elwood.
The North III Family
Bonnie North was the last addition to the family. Two of the triplets, Maya & Isis, moved to college whilst Will opted not to. Raven and Hunter grew up into teens and Hunter had his first kiss with Kira Elwood.
Left to right, back to front: Will, Raven, Suzie, Zach, Hunter and Bonnie North.
The Carr Family
The Carr family continued to expand this round! Nina & Julia opted not to go to college, mostly because the family does not have enough money in order to support their studies. Leon and Robin grew up into teens this round. Robin had her first kiss with Evan Smith whilst Leon got electrocuted instead! Flynn also grew up into a teen and had his first kiss with Raven North. Ratna is now advancing steadily in the Science career track whilst Rosalie has her hands full with all the kids. Austin Carr is officially the baby of the family since Rosalie aged up into an elder towards the end of the round.

The Smith IV Family
Olivia achieved her 1st LTW and now wants to become a Prestidigitator. Jake is now officially the town Mayor. Both boys grew up into teens. The family still has an outstanding private loan of $21,500 which they're hoping to pay off completely sometime soon.
Left to right: Olivia, Jake, Duncan and Alexander Smith.
The Winter II Family
Annabelle's plantsims grew up into adults. Forrest is proud of being different but Ivy immediately wished to fit in more with the community when she grew up. A mysterious vial from a mysterious gypsy helped her do just that. Ivy is now a full-fledged human being and no longer a plantsim. Meanwhile, Annabelle decided that she wasn't done with her mothering days yet and spawned another plantsim, Flora Winter.

The Smith V Family
Zoe finally got ownership of the apartment when her sister Thea also moved out into her own house. Lily and Zoe renovated the apartment completely into a nice cosy haven. Although Zoe has yet to meet her special someone, she is perfectly happy with the close bond that she has with her daughter Lily. The two of them discovered a passion for pottery this round. Sadly, there will be no more highschool updates because the lot has become corrupted. I found this out when sending Zoe over to manage the 'business' this round! :(
Left to Right: Lily & Zoe Smith.
The Elwood IV Family
Simon and Opal renovated their home, enlarging it and transforming it into a very aesthetic place. Brendan and Opal earned a few promotions this round. They are both in the same career, Slacker, although Brendan is several promotions ahead of Opal due to her having to stop going to work because of maternity leave. The family welcomed another addition this round, Lucy, and are expecting their fourth child next round. Simon is also dating next door neighbour, Rhea North.
Left to right: Brendan holding Lucy, Kevin, Simon and Opal Elwood.
The Green Family
Thomas wrote a book called 'Paper Trail' which unfortunately was not that well received. All the bad reviews cause Thomas to reconsider taking up a career in writing and he landed a job in Intelligence instead. Emma gave birth to Nicholas Green, who grew up into a child and twins Stefan & Jonah who aged up to toddlers this round. With a house full of men, will she want to have another baby and perhaps add a girl into the mix?
Left to Right: Emma holding Stefan, Nicholas, Thomas holding Jonah Green.
The North IV Family
Ayden and Marion continued to expand their family this round (and they are not done yet!). Rhea and Simon Elwood went steady. Irvin grew up into a teen and started dating Robin Carr with whom he shares 3 bolts! Both sets of twins are now children and the youngest (so far), Graham, is now a toddler. Ayden, quite a few days older than Marion, also aged up into an elder.
Left to right, back to front: Ayden, Marion holding Graham, Irvin, Rhea, Serena, Tobias, Aurora & Jack North.
The Lynn Family
Felix and Hayley had a fairly quiet round. The triplets grew up into children which gave the parents sometime to focus on their skills and in Felix's case, advance in his career. Gemma grew up into a good-looking teen and a great big sister to her younger siblings. By the end of the round, Hayley and Felix were happy to discover that they would soon be expanding their family further.
Left to right, back to front: Felix, Hayley, Gemma, Christina, David & Tamara Lynn.
The Elwood V Family
Peter moved out into his own little house facing Palm Valley beach. Everyone thought that he would be settling down with long-time girlfriend Angie and perhaps starting a family. However, all thoughts of Angie flew from Peter's mind when he met the lovely Demi Fabron. The two moved in together, however they are both perfectly content to just enjoy each other's company with no intent to further their relationship for the time being. One night, Peter was honing his logic skill when he got abducted by aliens and now it seems that the couple are going to be parents whether they like it or not. However, being both Knowledge sims they are over the moon to have been 'chosen' by the aliens.
Left to right: Demi Fabron & Peter Elwood.
The Knight Family
Larry and Thea moved into a big house straining their budget for a while until they both found jobs. Good thing they did so too since Thea gave birth to another set of twins this round!
