The apocalypse moves on.

Lucas maxes athletics and leaves space for one more plaque to be added later.

Tracy is called to an emergency at the hospital, but leaves early. She assumes a military position and then changes garb. It’s now obvious that she is pregnant and will have to quit her job.

She returns home in time for Leo’s transition to elder status.

The ghosts visit and another plaque gets added to Leo’s hall of fame – logic.

Lucas went to perform a concert; but no noticeable change of clothing for the rock star.

As an elder, Leo reverted back to his original love of painting. (I wish I could have kept his pretty flowered painting, but I’m already hanging on to the three masterpieces of the founder and heirs.)

Tracy gave birth to yet another boy – Tod.

Lucas enjoyed having another nephew, but, mostly, we enjoyed seeing Lucas max his sixth skill – logic. THAT is worth an extra point, if you really care about points.

Two days as a babe and time to grow up little Tod with Dad and uncles cheering him on.

Then, it’s time to say good-bye to the uncles (thanks for that military clear Matthew). They leave in rock star Lucas’s limo and move to a little place near the beach with an easel for Leo. Tracy is happy to have the home limited to her immediate family (and Matthew’s parents in ghost form).

Lance is making good progress in the education field. (I really like the modern school.)

For the most part, it’s mom Tracy who does the toddler training while papa Matthew attempts to improve his painting skill.

Tracy does manage to max her athletic skill. (Too bad her lifetime wish wasn’t Perfect Mind and Perfect Body!) And toddler Tod is happy that Uncle Lucas unlocked entertainment and he can happily enjoy the xylophone and peg board.

While Lance works at the school, Marcus is a journalist. So, he’s out interviewing sims every chance he gets. Their dad Matthew has gotten another plaque for his wall, but is one shy of the sensational six needed for an extra point.

Toddler Tod grows up.

Both older brothers spend time getting to know other sims, as charisma is needed in both their jobs.

Their dad reaches elderhood without maxing painting, but he does get to retire from that awful astronaut job. Who thought working from 7a.m. one morning until 1a.m. the next was something to aspire to? NOT!

Their mom Tracy was close to maxing her gardening skill, so we let her do all the garden work the last day (though the plaque will not hang the wall here as they move to a new place today). They say good bye to their youngest son, happy that he’ll have a much better life with his brothers now.

And this seems a fitting end to the chapter as all of generation two have departed.
