Hey everyone - this is a Gothic, Goreyesque "Who's Your Daddy?" Sims 4 challenge. It's a mixture of challenge and plot-based storytelling.

[hr]
When Amelia Zara Livingstone has a brush with death, the Grim Reaper postpones the tragic event in exchange for her promise to fulfil a mission. It turns out conveying the souls of the dead is tough work, and he could use some helpers. 26, to be precise - 1 for each letter of the alphabet.

Grim charges Amelia with the task of romancing the men of the nearby towns, and giving birth to these 26 future Reapers within her remaining years. If she succeeds, she'll have the time of her afterlife. If not, then her eventual death will only be the start of a worse fate...

Part Two: Baby Boom
Part Three: Flexing It, or, Agent Bandura Goes Undercover(s)

Interlude A - Mrs. Casper and Mr. Ridley

Interlude B - First Night on the Job

Part Six: Goth in More Ways Than One
Part Seven: Babies, Birthdays and Bedroom Plays

Interlude C - Mummy's Day Off

Part Eight: The Strangerville Experiment
Part Nine: Unlucky for Some (or, A Few Good Men)
