TS4 Marx Legacy Just Another Day in Legacy Land

The legacy is starting to get boring at this point.  I've even started looking for other challenges that I can try but it doesn't seem like anyone has made one yet.  You'll figure out why it has gotten boring once you read my review of yesterday's play.  Although I spent more time on the forums yesterday than anything.  After reading horror stories of people losing their games I've started using 3 different save files and rotating through them.  I was already saving to the external every couple of days.  I plan to do that more often.  Right now I have like 8 more days of teenage-hood of the boys before I can do much of anything.  *yawn*  So here it is, what you've been waiting for...

• Aiden finished the 1st and 2nd parts of his 2nd aspiration.
• Giovanni passes on of old age.  They all seem to die in that bedroom.  Nobody mourns.
• Willow maxxed the mischief skill.
• Willow dies of old age too.  I am so mad, she was about to complete the last level in the criminal career!  Heath & the boys mourn.  She dies in the same darn bedroom.
• Later I remembered that I could have someone beg grim to spare her which gives her a couple more days.  Darnit!
• I got the frugal reward for Heath so that the bills don't go up.
• Aiden completed his 2nd aspiration but had no time to start a 3rd before his birthday.
• Heath ages to adult.
• The twins age up to teens.
• Aaron is mean and got the Master Chef aspiration.
• Aiden is a loner and got The Curator aspiration.  <---kinda boring since that's what his Dad had.
• With a score of 7 to 2 entering their teen years I think it's clear that Aiden will be the heir.
• Alex completed the 3rd part of her computer whiz aspiration.  The 4th part is really hard so I don't know if she'll make it.
• Aaron caught on fire his first time trying to cook something other than salad.  At least I know that the sprinklers work.  His Dad had to extinguish him.  
• Both the stove and fridge needed replaced after the fire and all I got was $397 for damages!
• Bills $3,162.
• Heath needs 8 friends for work to complete his job.  He only has 3, his family.  I checked the unplayed households and discovered that there are hardly any.  This was a huge blow considering that Aiden needs to find a spouse soon.

After discovering how few households there were I contacted Pinstar (the creator of the challenge) on Twitter.  I believe that he will be coming out with a new rule today that we can download townies from the gallery to re-populate our towns.  I am very happy about this change.

I've noticed they only mourn if they see the death.
