I almost always let Daniel get caught cheating. It just depends if I completely explode their lives or not 🤣🤣 Generally my formula is Daniel and Karalyn > Mary Sue comes home > caught > fight > breakup > Lilith decides to move with Daniel

Then sometimes I moved Mary Sue's parents in, sometimes because she lost her job, I move her and Angela in with them in an apartment not quite big enough. Daniel ends up in a small house. Sometimes Daniel learns his lesson, becomes the father Lilith always needed and she flourishes while Angela's whole life falls apart and she struggles. Usually I have them "accidentally" end up in the same dorm, fight it out, and then become friends.

Mary Sue sometimes remarries but usually no more kids. Daniel usually tries to make it work with Kaylynn. Sometimes that goes well, sometimes she's still after Don hardcore. Usually her and Daniel have a baby regardless of if she's faithful or not. 🙃 Only one time did I have Mary Sue and Daniel rekindle after the girls went to college and the Oldie's passed. Once they got through the hate and anger, they were actually pretty sweet together.

I almost always split them and turn Daniel into the man whore of his dreams. He gets Kaylynn prego then their relationship fizzles when he cheats and she throws him out. He usually has a few one night stands before he dies alone of old age.

Mary Sue usually has a full midlife crisis after the cheating and job loss. I push her into a different career and generally have her marry some young guy (using the match maker). Usually get her prego and force twins then throw her deep into her work again where she basically repeats her mistakes on the second set of twins and the second marriage.

Usually I try to get that second husband to have a high family trait so he can be the parent both sets of twins needs. Generally I don't make Angela and Lilith besties buuuuut they usually turn out around neutral. Occasionally I'll have Lilith move in with the Oldie's just to get away.

Most of the time Mary Sue works herself to a slightly early death. I just realized I give Angela and Lilith a pretty shitty and probably accurate life lol

Not gonna lie posting this actually made me have to play today!

Daniel got caught, Mary Sue had a revenge date where she got pregnant, she just got her job back (testing cheats are nice), she got a makeover and now she's going full midlife crisis. The twins moved in with the Oldie's, Lilith is actually experiencing some love and Angela is about to have a breakdown. Mary Sue is living her "prefectly pleasant life" with her new man and baby.

I haven't played Don yet but, I enjoyed that idea about him getting Kaylynn pregnant then cheating. Feels so delightfully evil! The twins are going to be interesting in college lol.

I'm about 50/50 on if I keep them together or, if I break them up. If they stay together I usually make them have a "fix the marriage" baby or a "celebration" baby. Which is almost always twins.

If I go that route, I usually move Mary-Sue's parents into the house after a full home renovation. I find it easier to have two extra adults around while Mary-Sue tries to figure out a work/life balance and Daniel is less likely to go back to his cheating ways with witnesses.

Then I have to decide if Lilith and Angela end up with better or worse relationships with their parents. Do their parents put in an effort to be parents? Do the girls accept it if they do? Do the girls start to get along with each other after that? Decisions decisions.

Sometimes they end up with a great life. An actual Pleasant family. Sometimes the new babies facture what little is left of the bond between the older children and the parents. Sometimes that fracture brings the twins together.

They really are a family I love to play, I've run so many scenarios on this family.
