That generation I mentioned ended up with Trishola getting married around 50, I think. Just because I thought she'd be lonely.

Single Parents are possible. Purple adopted Mysti upon arriving at the house. I was trying for the Perfect Match trophy, but she passed before he showed up.

Oh, I think I had my answer here...


I was wondering if I could start a new generation with a single mother, by choosing one of the adopted children to inherit the house.

BootsElven, Purple didn't marry till the end, is that right? And you could manage to start another family from Mysti, who was adopted?

In one of my early generations I had a single mother. A child appeared asking for adoption as soon as she entered the house, so I felt I could be a little more choosy than usual with potential husbands for her, and turned down two or three proposals. The same event happened later on, so she became a single parent twice. When the youngest child was about 18 I realised she'd be all alone in the house when he went off to college, and therefore accepted the next proposal a short time later. I can't remember her age at the time but it must have been around 50. They didn't have any more children, but at least she wasn't alone in her later years.

For a time I also had a male single parent; again, the 'soft knock' came as he was entering the house so I felt able to turn down the first proposal received, from someone who definitely didn't want children and was in a fairly poor job, if I recall correctly. The next proposal was from someone a lot more suitable, and they went on to have a further five children.

Same thing happened to me, arnie. She has 2 daughter and live alone there.

As I'm trying for the perfect match trophy I'm not marrying her to "anybody" *lol*

But even if she dies alone (oh how sad!) I was worried if I could pass the house on to one of her daughters and continue the game.

Probably I'll marry her when she gets older - even if it's not mr. right. That way she'll have someone.
