Last time I played, I spent most of my time creating a new house for Ashlee (Jenna's sister) and Sammie (Ashlee's son with Avery) to live in with Logan, Avery's brother and Ashlee's boyfriend. It's based on my current house, which I share with my landlady and her three kids, hence the huge amount of toddler stuff. I'm quite pleased with my L-shaped stairs, though I did mean I had to change the shape of the back of the house to accomodate the weird floor. It wasn't until I went to move Ashlee in that I realised she had been living with just her son and her cat, which is a bit unusual in this town where sims seem to move in together at random. Logan had still been living with Haven, I guess because he was in a relationship with Ashlee, and sims don't really care about living with their parents. Anyway, I moved them in and then just played for a few minutes. At the end of that session, the game told me that Avery's Uncle Jasper was getting older and probably didn't have much time left. Now, Jasper is Avery's favourite uncle - he's one of the reasons Avery became an astronaut. He's also an old bachelor, now living with his twin sister's widow and the widow's new husband, which was probably a bit weird for everyone.
...so, Avery asked him to move in, and I turned the spare room into his bedroom. I'd originally intended to keep Bunny's current room as a nursery and make the spare her big-kid room, but I can just sell the crib and have a guest room.
I also had a quick look at Jasper's memories, and there was loads of stuff I'd forgotten about, like all the teen party's he'd held when he was young, and even what Jasper and Rosemary had look like when they were young. Here's Jasper's first memory of picking up Haven. Remember, Jasper is second in age and Haven is third. Rosemary was the eldest and Libby is the youngest.
To celebrate Haven and Jasper moving in, I sent them out with Bunny to grab a family photo. Piper was also there, but for some reason, dogs can't be in the photos, which is dumb.
Jenna is fine with these new additions to the family, because they are old and rich, and so will die soon, and also they can help care for Bunny. Remember that Jenna is evil.
Haven was enjoying a nice lunch with her eldest son when she suddenly complained of feeling ill.
Jasper ran in as she started to collapse.
...and Haven died. Bunny is too young to remember her grandmother or be affected by her death (and also she was upstairs) but Jasper and Avery are a mess. Jasper just wants to stay in his room and cry.
I've created a shrine for Haven in the dining room (Jake and Serena's is in the library), and I'll need to have someone go and fetch Silas' urn soon. I also held my first funeral party. It was kind of nice - Avery's cousins (Libby's kids) came, along with Rosemary's ex-wife and her new husband, and he got to talk to them. Jasper did some reminiscing about childhood with Liberty - I hoped they'd flash Jake, Serena, Rosemary, or Haven's faces, but they just had pictures of party balloons and happy faces, possibly remembering Jasper and Rosie's teen party when Libby and Haven were kids and they went and asked their older cousins for bedtime stories.
...one of Avery's kids showed up and hung around outside for no apparent reason.
...and Avery got to have a nice moment with his brothers, Logan and Theo (who is still a teenager). Jenna's mother also died during the party, but she wasn't invited, and Jenna didn't get any additional sad moodlets from it. Jenna actually spent most of the party writing an article about the death of mother-in-laws, and got paid quite a lot for it.
