I've decided to post the journals of my Sims lives here.  Hopefully a few people will enjoy it.  I take pictures in the game too, but I probably won't put them here unless someone asks for something specific (time and bandwidth issues).  The Gossip is recorded on my handheld PC while I play the game, so there are a few typos.  I give all of my households equal playing time to keep them in sync, which usually consists of playing each household for three days, round-robin style.  University households are usually played for two semesters at a time, which I have declared equivalent to two days for the rest of the Sims universe.    Each segment of the Gossip is labeled with a number (which increments for each playing session, i.e. when I load a family, and resets every 3 sim days or SSG volume) the household name, a generation suffix (to distinguish between different households of the same larger family) and the starting and ending dates (week number and day letter) of the playing session.  Also note that I didn't start journalling until the end of Week 2.

Enjoy!
