- So much stuff happened this round! Griffinmere started it's first apartment complex that makes life easier for the kids who grow up. Also the third generation started to pop up, there are many babies and weddings (and future weddings), I'm just so excited and happy to see the town growing and developing! :D
- I'll definitely start the next round with adding a cemetery (pet ghosts are frightening me D: ), and I'd like to add another (themed) park!
- I also started to collect my business / institution / community lot ideas, so I may release the list soon (maybe it'll be inspirational for others too - it's a pretty long list already, and I always forgot what I wanted to include when I get to open the file D: ). And I really should start writing down my BaCC rules!
- Thank you so much for reading and following Griffinmere's little story, and see you in the next rotation :D

That is a cute duplex, and apartments make a lot of sense when you've got young adults moving out, since they're all going to be moving around and getting married anyway. :)

Thirty nine whole sims... and so many stylish elders. (Not looking forward to the eventual population dip when they start to go...)

I can't believe the babies are adults/almost adults and the fab parents are now elders! Time just flies when you're having fun :)

Forever in love with the Danielson's family portrait. <3

I've said it before, but you truly are an inspiration for being so dedicated and continuing this project! You have to be having so much fun and seeing all the progress you are making! Griffinmere is amazing, and will continue getting better the more you play!
