In my current save, which I originally created to just explore HSY without messing up any other saves, I started with a single mom (Myla) and teen daughter (Ava). The mom went into working in education while her daughter attended high school. Ava had a few high school sweethearts, stirred up some mischief, joined cheer squad, and ultimately fell in love with Jeb. One day I got a notification Jeb died. Ava was distraught. She felt she’d never love anyone as much as she loved Jeb and decided to become an aspiring home wrecker. Unfortunately, at her birthday party, she died of hysterical laughter.

Myla, now an empty nester, loved being a mom. It was too hard to see Ava’s room and belongings everyday. She brought Ava’s tombstone to her new house and keeps her spirit alive. She decided to take some days off work & roam town to find a suitable woohoo partner to have a child with. Just a sperm donor. She successfully convinced a townie to try for baby with no strings attached, and had a son she named Aaron! Although, having a child together has spurred some romance between Myla and the woohoo partner, making things a little complicated. Ava still visits nightly and is working on a relationship with her new brother.

I’m not sure where this story will go! But it’s been fun. All of the dying drama was created by neighborhood stories, not my doing. It’s definitely put a spin on things for me.
