It only goes up to 15 Generations. You can keep on going free-writing or you can use this ending I wrote:

Ending:

I took a look at my family trees and diaries and saw how messed up my family is. I don’t want bring something into this world that I will just mess up. I would never be able to live it down. I guess I would just be better off alone and without kids.

Notes:

• You can use the mirror and the dresser to edit Sim’s
• No money cheats
• You can use apples, watermelons, and children’s music and TV shows

No relationship cheats
