Just found out this morning, on Facebook, from her daughter Story, that @fuzzyspork died on June 28th. She finally lost her fight with cancer.
I'm going to miss her bright shining light in the Sims 2 community.
If you have time, go send her a message so her family will know how much we all loved her.
thank you, holleyberry.
me and my dad are still sorting things out after her passing and I feel a bit strung out trying to get the news out on all her socials so thanks for making the post for me
my mom loved the sims 2 and certainly must have loved the community enough to have stayed in it all these years, and I can clearly see many of you have loved her back
thank you for being part of her life

Don Lothario: From now on, we will be using code names. You can address me as Eagle One.
Don Lothario: Nina, code name Been There, Done That.
Don Lothario: Cassandra is Currently Doing That.
Don Lothario: Dina is It Happened Once in a Dream.
Don Lothario: Daniel, code name If I Had To Pick a Dude.
Don Lothario: Darren is -- Eagle Two.
Darren Dreamer: Oh thank God.
I never know what Secondary Aspiration to give Nina. She usually remains a true Romance Sim in my game.
However, she is about to be permaplate and is engaged to someone she choose (see a few posts down). Should I give her a secondary now?
What secondary have you guys given her and why?
Thank you @simmer-until-tender for your suggestion to restore my computer to before the latest update. It worked!
I also turned off automatic updates.
Well...it was fun while it lasted.
Excuse the shitty cell phone pick, but look what my Nina rolled. My Romance Sim Nina, with no secondary aspiration...
I don't believe it!
edit: Abe is her 8th Lover. He is a Romance Sim and they have 3 bolts.
You will be having that third child Cassie wants Don.
That Smooth Talk sure is useful.
They should have added a Double bed to the University Secret Soceity house.
How does one even begin to catch up with 5 years of CC?

STORY RECOMENDATION TIME! (again) 'Dossanina' by @holleyberry
This was the first Sims 2 story I stumbled across on tumblr. This was the story that opened my eyes to TS2 stories on here. This made me keep looking out for amazing stories I've found since.
I love this story so darn much!
You can read it here! Please do so!
It starts off in the present day with Don Lothario happily married to Cassandra Goth with children of their own. Life appears perfect for them but then Cass goes to the park and discovers another familiar looking child in with a woman she knows was linked to her husband.
Then it goes back to how Don was in college and the story follows Don from there. I would say Don is easily the main character in this series.
It made me look at Don's character differently. The actual TS2 makes Don look like a woohoo-machine and like he acted like he didn't care who he was hurting. This Don is different and I think he is the Don I admire the most. It shows the realistic side that Don was meeting girls, dating them and being atypical decent guy.
It shows how he's known Nina and Dina for years, and shows a time when Dina got married to Michael. It shows the almost toxic relationship between Cassandra and her mother, the beautifully famous Bella Goth. Cassandra is shown as painfully shy and unsure of herself. Nina is a typical romance sim who loves woohoo but isn't into marriage and long-term relationships. Dina is shown as a family sim, caring about Alexander and NOT the gold-digger she is set out in the game to be.
This is mostly set before the actual TS2 starts and I LOVE the backstory and buildup because it shows Don working hard in his career, his frustration at being moved to Pleasantview for his job and his wingman Goopy GilsCarbo.
It hilarious at times, it's emotional and it's STUNNING.
Please give it a read!
It inspired me to write my own version because I related to this one so much.
EDIT: I should admit here that I kinda copied how Don's condo looks in my story to how his Pleasantview condo in this story looks! I'm sorry I preferred it that way! (Shameless self plug here: You'll see in the next chapter if you guys vote for Don or Cassandra! Vote here, no account required!)
I accidentally deleted my last post. I just wanted to let everyone know the florescent tiles are from Nighlife, and they were in the Tile section, or the Nightclub Community Collection.
2013 vs. 2020
I’m just playing Pleasantview, for fun, and Don rolled the want to marry Cassie while on a date with Goopy. My game is fucking with me.
