Well, if she has done 6 gens now, there has to be 12 sets of elders, not 6. Do you see how I mean or shall I elaborate?

If you look at the picture, you'll see 5 sets of graves. 2 in each set, which is a generation each.
So that's 10, plus ... gen 6 is gone now, so there's 12. This picture was taken before generation 6 died. Lemme see if this helps any ...

I don't quite get what you're saying, Cassie. Do you mean where the other set of parents are? Well, I don't think they're included in the family...
Re: » The Greenreich Family - The Official Thread - Majick - 08-05-2008 09:29 PM
Here's a rundown of all the generations, the founder and all those who are Blood relation (their natural children) are in bold.
Gen 1: Stephan and Tara
Gen 2: Simon and Donna
Gen 3: Sakura and Dean
Gen 4: Declan and Meadow
Gen 5: River and Aiden
Gen 6: Kotetsu and Kurenai
Gen 7: Dante and Alhanna
Gen 8: Helena
Even though there were multiple children in two generations (generations 6 and 7) their graves are not included, becuase they were moved out of the Main House once they reached adulthood. Plus, the extra sims from the family have not died yet, so there are no tombstones to include at this point.
Now, for the tombstones pictured, the tombstones on the Left are the men, and the tombstones on the Right are the women. So when you look at the picture, and see the two tombstones under Gen. 1, that's Stephan/Tara, Gen. 2 is Simon/Donna, so on and so forth. Does this make sense? lol
Also, Dante's sisters (Cheiza and Alessa) live on another lot. So their tombstones, as well as Hinata's tombstone, won't be put on the Family "Death" Lot, since I've designated that lot for those who are ... I guess ... Main Branch of the family. Sort of like how a Legacy keeps only the sims who live and die on that lot, on the same lot. But, I don't want ghosts roaming the family lot, so I move main branch elders to a seperate lot to die and keep their tombstones there. Branched family members will get their own seperate grave-home I think.

Helena had a nice birthday. I loved her birthday outfit!!!
I also love your house for the elders. Your elders are nice to have a player like you. I usually kill them off and grow the children up, if there are any ungrown children, and move them out. I am about to do that with Dustie's parents and siblings. Your elders have a longer time to live.
In the Sims 3, I won't kill them off, since the seamless neighborhood would anyway.
That is creative how you line up your graves and put decoration and stuff with them. Good work!!!

Actually, once I move the elders onto their new lot, they only live 2 or 3 more sim days. I get bored and kill 'em. Well ... I use boolprop to set it to their birthday, so that they still die naturally, and thus get to keep their platinum gravestones. But I do like to give my elders a few days of alone time with each other, since they spend most of their lives with several other sims, lol.

They are still luckier than mine. As soon as they get old, I kill them. But, lately, with my legacy, I let them live for a day or two, being tempted to kill them.
I use the insimenator to kill them--suicide--usually die of old age.

Ah, LOL
Re: » The Greenreich Family - The Official Thread - yummybunny - 08-05-2008 10:06 PM
Brandi, as soon as she got old, I didn't kill her right away. All of her kids were almost grown, but as soon as the youngest grew up...the girl, I killed her. I killed her husband earlier. He looked like a old hippie. Plus, old sims get in the way too much and whine and complain. When Brandi died, only one kid cried. The only one in the house didn't shed a tear.
That was heartless of him.
