I know we said this at the end of the first generation, but this really does feel like the end of an era! We spent so much time with Emmy and her mess because it spilled into generation three. Her life was such an adventure with so many twists and turns. Apart from Melany, Emmy was one of the first sims I ever “raised” from birth through adulthood. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had pleeeeenty of toddlers in all my gameplay saves, but Melany and Emmy were the first ones I ever spent significant time with and saw them to adulthood. She was very special to me, and I was very attached to her for a long time. I think because she was the only child, and I could only control Amina, it really felt like I was raising this child lol. I was very protective of her and didn’t want anything bad to happen, especially off the heels of relationship problems. She started off so naïve and sweet, and I thought she was so adorable. But, like parents IRL, I had to let her go do/be whatever she wanted to do/be. She kept showing me what she wanted, but I didn’t want to do it. Eventually, however, I saw an opportunity for her to grow, so I gave her the green light lol. I’m gonna miss her a lot. Even though I knew her time was around the corner, it still caught me off guard, especially because I witnessed it!
R.I.P., Emmy, Em, Kiki, Mama! Thank you for the laughs and side eyes. You were brave. You were strong. You had a big heart. You owned your mistakes. Like your mom, you were one of a kind.
