Tada! You're going into grandmother/grandfather age, your hair is probably turning grey, etc., etc., etc. So, you might get more grandkids now! We are getting closer to the end of our game! You no longer need to roll for children, engagements, adoptions, or marriages, you take the reins on that part. Let's keep going!

And to determine genders, use this:

You decide whether any children are adopted or not. If they are, then use the name section to choose their name(s). You can also use the naming section for family and friends, including new family members(children and spouses).
Or, you can use the naming section the entire time if you want, which is below.

You can use this to determine what any spouses look like first(for those unmarried), but if any children are adopted, then you can use this. You can add other things too(freckles, moles, etc.). Friends also count.
