Even Death Can't Resist Mac and Cheese

Unfortunately, it was Emery's time.

 He was at least 120, although probably much older.

 It took a while for the family to properly react (thank you Kade for having the correct first emotion.)

 The family (minus Carissa) gathered around as Emery made his transition from Sim to ghost.

Chad did try to persuade the grim reaper to re-think.

He was denied.

The grim reaper did partake in some Mac and Cheese afterwards though. Even death can't resist mac and cheese.

Even with the sad mood, Mila celebrated her birthday.

(Again, think how sad she would have been if her birthday was missed.)

Unfortunately, Chad's birthday was missed instead.

This definitely didn't help improve his mood.

Nor did the backache.

Kade tried to reassure his father-in-law. It was equally awkward for everyone.

Meanwhile, Elle had a sneaking suspicion.

The confetti made it quite apparent...

...there was a baby on the way.

Cake always smells better when you're pregnant.

Poor Iain mourned his grandfather.

While Elle took muli-tasking to the next level. Pancakes and paying bills.

 Mila decided to follow her parents and joined the business career path. (It's obvious how her first day went.)

Elle continued to eat (and pee) a lot.

Emery in ghost form visited the family often.

Finally, the initial sadness from Emery's passing faded and the family started to be in much better moods.

Elle enjoyed showing strangers her baby bump...

...and was in mid conversation with one when she went into labor.

Elle, enjoying conflict, politely waited for Iain and the strange woman to finish their argument...

...before she actually reacted to the contractions.

Since she had sold the family bassinet during her remodel, she was forced to go to the hospital to deliver.

She shortly returned feeling relieved. So much lighter!

*Confetti*

Baby Nash was now part of the family.

*Awwwww*

Chad was still alive and still working on becoming fabulously wealthy.

Kade was naturally a great father.

It's pretty apparent that Nash took after him.

Another birthday was forgotten. Sorry Carissa.

So they made sure to have a cake for Iain!

Officially an adult. Queue the excitement. It was now time for Iain and his sister to launch.

....

 Wait, is this a pregnant townie?

There are so many changes since I've last played. Like toddlers. That one is huge. In the game Nash it currently a toddler so I'm learning all about them. I'm really hoping this is a pregnant townie. My issue with Sims 4 is the lack of story progression for NPCs and sims I move out of the household. I know there is a mod to fix it - I used to have it pre-multiple-system crashes -- but I would love it to just happen naturally in the base game.
