McMullen:
The shot of the kitties on the deck with Mackenzie is so peaceful! And so was their cute, private little beach wedding! Love that they went barefoot for it.
Jo passing away though!! D: Poor Mackenzie! At least she has the cats for company?
Titan:
Norah and Miko make very cute old ladies! But lol at Norah sitting on the couch with Marnie and Kaori like "is that romance I smell in the air?" I get the same way with taking pictures when I'm focused on getting things done in my saves, so I'm glad I'm not the only one! Boy, a negative sentiment from a thoughtful rose?? Boo Kaori! Definitely better off as friends!
Titan Ojo:
Love David's (almost) all black beachwear. Can only assume it is normal in alien (or maybe just sim?) culture to just eat a whole coconut like it's an apple. Kava party seems very fitting for a sim like David! The family picture is sweet, as are all your family portraits, even if this one feels a little too... current, haha. I like that his swimwear matches Casey's, too! Was absolutely unprepared to see poor Frankie go, your Culpeppers are sure keeping Grim busy this rotation!
Also you're totally right about posing in 4 vs 2! The only thing I really miss about 2 nowadays, to be honest.
Goth:
That blue kitchen!!! Of course everyone watched through the window, haha. Loving all the blue in their new house again. It's a shame about the rest of the pictures being lost!
Brows:
Aww, Bruno! As sad as the deaths are, I have to say it's nice to see them actually mourning the loss of a friend, and not immediately forgetting about Jo and moving on. The crowd of sims watching Dusty on her date with Summer gave me a little giggle. I know this was pre-Encanto, but the cat almost immediately running away and also being named Bruno gave me a good chuckle, too.
And I love seeing all the teens this generation hang out! Oh my god I got to the picture of Summer lying on the beach towel and thought she had also died for a second.
Bell:
Poor Tania, having both friends disappear as she as she tries to have an outing! The sleepy wal paired with her just coming from the bar kinda makes it look like she's a little tipsy coming home, haha. Oh damn!! What a plot twist with the surprise Travis baby!! Adora is a very supportive partner letting Brianna move in. <3 I think adding her to the family definitely makes for some interesting gameplay, glad that was the route you went.
"What's worse is, Grim wouldn't come for her. She just laid on the floor for several hours." Sam this is simply too much after losing Jo and Frankie in one sitting. Also, I would have absolutely sobbed if I had witnessed that in my own game.
Vatore:
Caleb staying up all night to make cookies just sounds right for him. <3 The paper bag kiss, haha. Absolutely nothing Caleb does in your game surprises me, from chilly night dips to walking the dog in his swim trunks! Looking forward to seeing what you do with all the kids this generation, but looking forward to Dolly in particular! I think she's my fave of this generation so far.
Ember:
Caroline kinda looks like she could be a children's tv or book character in that first shot of her with Geppetto. Imagine being a former all-powerful sage and getting crushed by a vending machine? Good to see Morgyn did not add to the death toll this rotation. Seeing all they did for werewold toddlers makes me hope they'll go back and add a lil something for spellcaster kids/tots one day! Geppetto is very handsome in his lil sweater. <3 Absolutely love the picture of Tarin on the slide, and his outfit! Again just something about it feels very children's book character to me. And his shy little wave!!!
University:
Uni is kinda a struggle in rotational gameplay, isn't it? I burnt myself out doing it in my first iteration, and this third time round I'm taking it real slow with 2 credits a term per sim, but I can see why you wouldn't want to draw it out that much here. Love their roommate calling them up at their wedding because he got locked out, lol. And holding it early for Adora, only for her to pay more attention to her painting!
Funny enough, term ending on a Monday is my favourite schedule for uni, I do it on purpose lol. Spend the week just doing homework, then weekend break for socializing and term projects!
Seriously, your updates just keep getting better and better. I really enjoyed reading about the drama of a break-up and the discovery of a new relationship that later developed into something more serious. I think Thorne and Tori definitely have much more chemistry than Tori and Vanessa so great move there! Also really enjoyed the girls' night out and their conversation - reminded me of quite a few conversations I had with my own friends! I think following whims makes for really interesting turns in the story sometimes.... Really great update! Looking forward to more! Thank you for writing!
I will never learn my lesson with adopted children will I? 
Gosh ghosts are the worst for that! Yet for some reason I want to play with them more?
