Merre Bowmaster

Merre was born in the early 80s, and learned in high school of the family curse: Huntington's disease. It claimed her father's life, a decorated officer in the local police department. She married right out of high school, and moved to Virginia. Howev-er, the marriage only lasted a short time. After she was nearly killed by a careless driver, she became partially incapacitated - and started showing signs of developing mani-festations of Huntington's herself.

Her husband didn't want her after that, and abandoned her at her mother's house. She tried to make the most of her very limited ability to live her life afterward. Meeting her was a chance encounter, which occurred because of a meeting up with a friend - who was dating her foster brother.

Her mother encouraged this new couple to go their separate ways, deeming the long-term sustainability of the relationship to be too unstable. However, the feelings of love for her never died.

In 2019, an accident in the bathroom left her with a serious head injury. She was discovered unconscious on the floor, barely alive. Her Huntington's kicked into overdrive after the injury, and she found herself barely able to move. She would be bed-ridden the remainder of her days. In July of 2019, the Dozerfleet founder got to visit with her one last time. Doctors noticed her worsening condition, and gave her three months to live.

She managed to survive a whole year, too in love with life and family to give up, even when all seemed hopeless. Her mother's health also declined rapidly, resulting in a heart attack that proved fatal. Both mother and daughter were discovered dead on July 16th of 2020. The mother, in the family home. Merre, in a hospital in downtown Grand Rapids.

Merre never stood a chance. She should've had a good life; but was denied it. While gone, she is not forgotten. She now lives on, through this stuff pack. And through each of you who download it.

In the world of the Sims, you have the power to rewrite history. To give her the good life she never had. What, under your hand, will she be-come?
