Initial family history: I found thier family dynamic difficult to deal with so they went back into the Families bin. The Dareey family then had Brandon move in and, eventually move out. (See the Dareey family history.) Brandon moved onto his own lot and then was cruelly starved to death. (I'll never do that again.) When other Sims started to want to be friends with those in the Bukish household, I decided to move them back into the neighborhood. I chose the lot where Brandon died because Auel wanted to see a ghost. Family tree Created: Isaac as an elder with his adult children, Auel and Adam and Adam's daughter, Ayn.

Family tree:

Subsequent Family History: Isaac was a family sim and he kept wanting to get married or have children, even as an elder. He started wooing the maid, Lucy as there was no one else to woo. Lucy moved in and was immediatly pregnant.

Brandon's ghost happily compled with Auel's wish to see a ghost. Often he would open and close the fridge and then yell at me. Auel chased him around and eventually caught up with him the back yard where he literally scared the piss out of her. Auel never married, she was too busy in the pursuit of her academic career.

Ayn immediately fell for Woodrow Westing. They went steady in highschool and neither ever had the opportunity to enter University. A picture was captured of their first kiss and they were inseperable afterwords.

Lucy was in her third day of pregnancy on the day that Ayn was grow up. Ayn, being popular invited a few guests to their small home to celebrate the occasion. Auel had been painting a still life of the pregnant Lucy. As the party started, Lucy ambled over, took one look at it and expressed her dislike. Woodrow was still a teen and had been invited over.

During the party, free will was allowed. Ayn and Adam were dancing together at about 5:50 when I captured a photo. At 6:00, everything happened. Brandon started haunting and playing with the fridge. Ayn transitioned to adult and the Grim Reaper came. Isaac was my first death from old age. The party turned into a wake. Lucy, after crying her eyes out, ambled over to the fridge for a snack. As she did so, Brandon chose that moment to scare her. Chandler was born. The party over, Ayn moved out.

Ayn got her own house and waited for her love, Woodrow to finish high school. When Woodrow moved in, there was no pomp or circumstance. Ayn proposed to him and Woodrow changed his name. Justin Isaac soon arrived, red hair and all. He was followed by Jackie Eleanor (named after her grandmother and my mother), Edgar Alen (Bukish theme, name after EA Poe) and Laura Ingalls (one of my favorite authors.)

Meanwhile, Adam fell in love with Lucy. Again, Lucy didn't get a husband, just a lover. She didn't care, all she wanted was lots of friends. She eventually gave birth to Ross and then Rachel. By the time Ross was born, she had recived a large bonus and the house was remodeled into a two story bungalow.

Isaac and Brandon continued to haunt. I always wondered why their fridge was often empty, only finding out later that Brandon was taking food out of the fridge every time he opened it. Isaac enjoyed scaring his grandchildren.

Auel continued to live with Adam and Lucy, working hard and reaching the top of her career. She never planned to retire after she aged into an elder. Lucy had the day off when by chance, Auel was fired. Auel claimed it was because she was old, but the truth was that she was senile and had performed so poorly it had warranted firing.

Chandler moved out when she became an adult. She moved in with Conner Orchestra (the oldest). Chandler and Conner's first children were twins, Ophelia Amber and Niles Conner (sounded like Orchesta names, Ophelia from Shakespear and Niles from Frasier. Tympany Ann was the third child, named by my roommate when I couldn't think of a "T" name.) Just over a week before Ophelia and Niles left for college, Urania Lucy was born (Urania is a Greek muse) and two days before, Viola May joined the family.)

After the twins left for SSU, Urania developed non-grow up disease. She was stuck as a toddler. Viola was soon older than her. An antidote was found and Urania finally grow into a child with maxed Charisma, and 4 or 5 each of logic and creativity. Of course, strange things continued: she now had grow-up disease (Our term for the strange bug that caused people to age every day, dying within 4 days of toddlerhood from old age.)

While at SSU, Justin met Felicia Coffee and they live in the same Greek House. It was a mixed fraternity/sorority that had been previously occupied by felicia's older cousin, Amy Cofee. After Jusin's graduation, he and two other bachelors bought a large lot and build a party house. When Felicia graduated, she moved in. Riley Fast also moved in with them. However, Felicia wanted her own house and a big family, so they moved out.
