* I use the French school system.

Preschool

Elementary school

CP = 1st grade
CE1 = 2nd grade
CE2 = 3rd grade
CM1 = 4th grade
CM2 = 5th grade

Middle school

6ème = 6th grade
5ème = 7th grade
4ème = 8th grade
3ème = 9th grade ( there's an examen here )


High school

2nd = 10th grade

There are different baccalaureates ( general, technical, vocational ). In my story I'll use the general one for this part of the story, the others were created later.

C, D,E = maths, sciences.*


A,B,C,D,E  were the names of these baccalaureates in the 60's  now the names are different

L=litterature and languages

About "D'ombres et de lumières"

« D'ombres et de lumières » is a sims 2 story based upon the characters from «The rose of Versailles »
If you've read or watched this manga /anime, don't expect to read a similar story.
« The rose of Versailles » takes place in the XVIIIth century in France ( Versailles, Paris and Arras),
my sims story takes place in Châteaumirail, a very small township, near Versailles.
Châteaumirail does not exist, and nor its postcode. This story starts in the early 60's, the mains characters are Louise and François-Augustin and their relatives. Something unexpected will happen to them.

 It will follow the life of a family ( and their friends ?) between the early 60's to 2015 or a little bit later, with a flashback in 1918 ( not related to WW1) and some during the late 20's, late 40's 50's.
One of the most important part of the begining will be a teen pregnancy in the 60's in France.
There will be others subjects like abortion before 1975 ( it was forbidden, and arbortionists were jailed...in 1943, Marie-Louise Giraud,an abortionist was guillotined ), murder, violence, jealousy ( revenge ?)
My story won't be pg13 ( sex scenes, nudity in inappropriate places, blood .....)

The title will be the same in my language and in the English version.

I'll write a very short biography for the most important characters later, I need to edit some pictures before.
