Veronica Dracul had it all. She had popularity, ambition to own five top businesses, a nice apartment, and a fantastic wardrobe. However there was still one thing Veronica didn’t have.

The tall, dark, handsome certain something that would make her life feel complete. She’d go clubbing every night, but none of the men she found were that special something she was looking for. Until she met Aaron.

The first night they met turned into a date, and then without realizing it Veronica would date Aaron every single night. She’d call him up, and he’d call her up, and then after five dates Aaron was invited to stay the night. Only he didn’t actually stay the entire night….

… because he lured Veronica off and away to his home, where things got a bit more…. interesting.

Aaron wasn’t just another guy, but the great Count Aaron of the Night! He couldn’t possibly continue dating Veronica, whom he fell in love with, without sharing his life with her– or un-life as the case may be. At first she was beside herself with shock, but quickly got over it when Aaron asked her hand in marriage.

“Does this make me a Countess, now?” Veronica teased as Aaron showered her with clothes, gifts, and her very own coffin. “Whatever you wish,” he’d reply. They were blissful and in love, which shadowed Veronica’s fears of being one of the creatures of the night.

Much to Veronica’s surprise their life together was pretty normal. Even though Sunlight could kill him, Aaron would still go to work to continue climbing his way up the Political ladder. He wanted to earn $100,000 dollars in his lifetime, but enjoyed the idea that one day he could be someone important. So long as he was inside a building during the day, he could carry on as if he wasn’t a creature of the night.

“How did I get pregnant?” Veronica mused over one night when she climbed out of her coffin, only to see a bump grow over her stomach. “Do I really have to tell you about the birds and the bees, my love?” Aaron asked as he admired his wife’s stomach. “That’s not what I meant. I didn’t think Vampires could have children!”  Veronica grumbled. “Well, obviously you thought wrong.”

Soon the time came for the baby to arrive. Aaron was so excited that he couldn’t help cheering his wife on as she went through the hard part.

Vlad Dracul came into the world looking like his father, but had his mother’s lovely grey eyes. But just as she handed Vlad over to his proud and tearful father, something happened.

Another boy decided to join the family. Twins! Aaron was balling like a baby from how happy he was to have two sons, but Veronica was worried. How could she take care of two boys at the same time? She named her second son Gabriel.

Aaron made a simple nursery for the boys, and helped Veronica move her coffin upstairs to accommodate the situation. Now if the babies needed anything during the day, Veronica could wake up fast enough to take care of them. This arrangement worked out smashingly.

And soon the boys grew up. Vlad had a beautiful smile…

And Gabriel had a head full of soft hair. Now the hard part had begun.

But Aaron was there to be a wonderful father. Every chance he’d get he’d pay attention to his sons equally. While Vlad was the solid heir as the first born, Gabriel was just as important and adored.

Veronica had other ideas about what she should do now that the boys were toddlers. Since Aaron refused to do anything other than spend time with the boys then when he was home from work, Veronica moved her attention to herself and her vision of writing a book. She worked on it day and night.

It wasn’t long before the boys grew up into children. Aaron had groomed them well enough that they seemed very content in their family.  And with each other. Though, there was a lot of competition between the two of them through their adolescence.

Then one day Veronica finished her novel and sold it as a best seller! Getting the call from her agent only fueled the fires under her writing fingers, and she overcame her major desire to own five top businesses to instead write books.

She bought her husband a car from her profits, so that he wouldn’t suffer in the sun as much as he had to when he’d go to work with coworkers.

Gabriel spent a lot of his childhood learning how to read, and soon moved on to read his mother’s novels. Veronica had a knack for writing romantic stories, but none of them were thought of as anything too risky for children. Her horror books, on the other hand, weren’t for anyone under the age of seventeen.

On the other hand, Vlad was interested in the computer like his mother, but with very different intentions. He tried to start up gaming competitions with his brother, but always ended up playing with himself. The boys were twins, but very much different from one another.

Their parents signed them up for a very private night school to get them ready for their teenage years. The twins knew something about this night school situation was to accommodate their parents rare behaviors at night, but had no idea that they would soon have rare behaviors themselves.

When Vlad grew up he told his father that he wanted to be just like him and earn a lot of money himself.  He didn’t realize that when he became a teenager that he’d become like his father in every way possible and sprout fangs, but it wasn’t something he was concerned about. Money was his first and foremost thought.

Gabriel decided he wanted to learn of the world, but ultimately wanted to design buildings. More buildings to accommodate his rare condition of sunlight sensitivity, and night time hours. Being the quiet son, he kept his personal opinions and feels away from his family and just seemed indifferent over his change.

Meet Charles. He’s your run of the mill, ex-highschool rockstar, wanna be famous musician so he can get all the girls and party all the time. Only, he’s a nobody who lives in a shack, works at a record store, and strikes out too many times to even reach his goal of 50 Dream Dates. One day, one day he muses, he’ll be rich, famous, and get laid all the time.

It wasn’t so bad being himself… sometimes he’d get lucky and find a cute blonde to amuse himself with.  Some nights he’d have nothing but bad luck…

And some nights he’d get the girl and they’d have an underwear party.

But nothing prepared him for what happened a few weeks later. He had a stray dog visit him on occasion, whom he named Menelaus, which Charles didn’t mind looking after. A few treats and a doggy squeak toy seemed to keep the stray happy. Though, one night the dang dog bit him, and something strange and scary happened afterwards.

He was changed into a werewolf! What was he going to do now?! He had a date in less than ten minutes and there was hair all over him. As unsure as he was about how women would receive him, he did not let his date down. He showed up to greet his lady regardless of his awful walk. Christy was into those hairy guys and didn’t care one bit. Score!

But it seemed that Christy was the only one kinky like that. The more he tried to find other women to have wonderful times with, the more he was cast aside as a freak. He didn’t think he looked too bad, beyond the badly combed hair and smell of dog food. Girls were sure hard to understand.

Charles knew he had something good going for him with Christy. Try as he might, she was the only one who liked him for what he was, and that seemed to become more and more important to Charles as the days went on. So, after she stayed the night with him one evening, he popped the question and she accepted.

Unfortunately in his excitement, something came over Charles and he viciously attacked Christy. She tried to fend off the attack, but the werewolf in Charles was too strong.

Charles nipped at Christy, and when he finally was able to control himself, Christy changed right in front of his eyes. “You made me a werewolf, you boob!” screamed Christy. “And what’s wrong with that? You weren’t complaining about werewolves when you were sleeping with one!” Charles yelled back. It was their first fight, and it ended on a sour note. But, all in all, Christy still loved Charles and agreed to move in with him even though he bit her.

They decided on this really hip apartment down the street from the club where they first met. It had two bedrooms and a killer kitchen.

It also had a killer bedroom….

Even though they were werewolves, Charles and Christy still behaved like normal people. They both had jobs; Charles was promoted to slide projector in his Slacker career, and Christy was working herself up the ladder to become a Celebrity Chef one day. Their bosses didn’t seem to mind the hairier side of them either, thankfully.

However, Christy’s boss did mind the fact that she was visibly pregnant one night, and sent her home. She decided to surprise Charles by redecorating the second bedroom with not one, but two cribs to reveal the good news. “Twins?! How do you know?” Charles asked happily. Of course he was excited they were going to have pups, but how the heck did two come into the equation. “I just know,” she said. Must be a mother’s intuition.

They decided to things properly before the babies were born, tying the knot in their living room with promises of faithfulness and trust. Charles had been weary of marriage all this time, but unbeknownst to him, Christy had been terrified. Still, it’d be in the best interest for their growing family.

Soon the twins arrived. Cale was first to come into the world. “He looks just like you, Charles.” Christy mused. “That’s because he’s planning on going after All the girls.” Charles replied proudly.

“I’m going to name her Pandora, because nothing good can ever come out of a girl.”  said Charles with a snicker. “Hey now, I’m a girl!” Christy argued as she cuddled her daughter. “But the name is nice…”

The couple was so excited about their babies that the celebrated in their own way when the babies went to sleep.  Christy had bought Charles a drum for his birthday a few weeks ago, but he could never get on the dang thing to play it. He didn’t mind so much if Christy wanted to play it half naked, of course.

The twins soon celebrated their own birthday, becoming rambunctious toddlers.

Christy didn’t mind their crazy antics as much as Charles did….

But little did he know he was part of all the craziness. It had become apparent early on that Pandora was Daddy’s little girl, despite Charles’s hesitance about little girls in general.

No matter how fast she grew, Pandora would always be his little girl. However, the older the twins got the more they spent time with each other and not their parents.

Now that the kids took care of themselves, Charles was left with the house chores. “Stupid facet and it’s stupid broken-ness!  Just stop spraying, darn you!” Christy was forced tointervene when Charles yelled so much that he brought neighbors knocking on their front door. She should have known that Charles plus chores equals a very bad combination.

“I’m good for something, honey! Look! I have enough money to retire!” Charles had returned home with so much money that he impulsively quit his job. “I’ll stay home and work on some hobbies. Maybe I’ll go into music like I’ve always wanted!” Christy couldn’t argue with him, he did after all bring home more money than either of them had ever seen.

“You’re hobby is NOT cooking, Charles!”

Unfortunately the bored and lonely werewolf had nothing to do with himself most days except set things on fire. Least no one was hurt. “I won’t touch the stove ever again, honey.” he said in defeat.

Before anyone knew it, Pandora and Cale grew up into bright-eyed, active teenagers. “What happened to my little girl?” Charles would ask, and Pandora would just laugh.  She would always be Daddy’s little girl, but she secretly wanted to meet many other men and have many, many, MANY first dates. She wondered how her father would take to her activities if he knew.

Cale, on the other hand, was a total opposite. He was the quiet one incomparison to Pandora, always studying and looking for new ways to earn money. He did win the spelling bee when he was younger, but that wasn’t enough to keep him satisfied. He liked the way his Dad brought home big bucks, and thought that if he could be an architect, that he’d be rich too.  “That’s a boring job, Cale.” Pandora said. “Beats caring about what others think , Sis, especially if it means I’ll be rich.” Little did the twins know that since now they were teenagers, the family curse would finally rear it’s ugly (and furry) head.

Astraea Magi Family/Fortune Aquarius Golden Anniversary	Cara Huffman – Magi Family/Fortune ??? Marry 6 Kids
Calypso Magi Romance/Pleasure ??? Professional Party Guest

]]> http://jmwsims.wordpress.com/2008/12/30/magi-family-tree/feed/ 0 simmuse astraea1 cara tcalypso http://jmwsims.wordpress.com/2008/12/30/introducing-the-magis/ http://jmwsims.wordpress.com/2008/12/30/introducing-the-magis/#comments Tue, 30 Dec 2008 03:11:57 +0000 JMW http://jmwsims.wordpress.com/?p=621 ]]> The Magi family is all about Witches & Warlocks.

It all started when Astraea Magi moved into town to study the occult. This vibrant aquarius was mostly concerned with Family, and wanted nothing more than to have a Golden Anniversary with someone special. But first and foremost she was obsessed with finding out all about Magic.

A week went by until she met the Infallibly Good Witch Cara Huffman. They became fast friends, and soon Astraea was allowed to move in with Cara. Much to Cara’s dismay, Astraea never followed the house rules about going into a certain room without permission, but Astraea was persistant. “I want to be a witch!” she would exclaim to Cara, using full on puppy dog eyes and a puffy bottom lip.

Cara couldn’t bare the whinnying and the bellyaching any longer and finally decided, against her Good code, to transform Astraea into a Witch.

“I better have heard the last of this,” Cara said with a sigh.  Astraea was more than grateful for the gift that she had sought; she showered Cara with more than friendship to show her appreciation. It wasn’t hard, there had always been an attraction, but now there was nothing separating their relationship.

Their antics together caused Astraea to get pregnant, so Astraea thought it was only proper to finalize their union. Cara was thrilled and accepted on the spot. The two of them held a private ceremony in their apartment without the stress of throwing a party.

But Cara couldn’t help but notice Astraea changed… her sparkle was gone, and other things changed the more she studied the art of magic.  “You have your good thing,” Astraea said, “So, I too want my own thing. I want to be Evil.” You’d think this would complicate matters, but Cara was patient, and in love, and so the two of them- as different as they became- held on strong to one another.

The birth of their daughter, Calypso, only solidified the bond of marriage between them. She looked just like Cara in every way.

Their growing family, and ideas of a business, could not last in a small apartment so the family moved into a very nice two bedroom house with a connected business. Witchy Ways was created a few days later, offering to the public all the things Astraea and Cara could make: potions, regents, and magical trinkets of all sizes.

It wasn’t long before Calypso grew up. Though it was hard to juggle a growing toddler and a growing business, the two Witches did it without complaint. Both of them were happier than ever before.

However Astraea hated to leave Calypso alone fore more than a few moments. She conjured up thenecessary ingrediants one night and called upon her familiar, Nyx, to come their home and keep Calypso company. He wasn’t sure he liked the idea of toddler babysisting, but it was what Astraea wanted and he was her faithful friend.

Calypso grew up faster than a weed.  Now she was off to school, leaving her parents, and Nyx,  with some peace and quiet.

It wasn’t long before Astraea earned her most esteemed title: Atrociously Evil. She wore the title with pride, since it had been weeks of hard work to finally acquire it. Cara was a little put off by the green glow of her beloved, but Astraea did put up with her sparkly glitter all these years, so it was only right Cara learned to deal with it.

She may be atrociously evil, but Astraea was also a loving mother and doted on her daughter every chance she got.  She just hoped the evil league of magic did not catch wind of her fun and carefree adventures with her daughter.

Unfortunately for Cara, Calypso didn’t bond well with her as she did with Astraea. Every conversation turned sour. Every game turned ugly. Cara was patient, but nothing could keep her from feeling disappointed over the distance that grew between herself and her daughter. She decided then that she would forget her young adult dreams of having six children and marrying them off; the sting of failure was a hard thing to ignore.

Suddenly Calypso grew up into a well adjusted and intelligent teenager. She loved the idea of Romance, but had a longing to become a Professional Party Guest. However, Cara told Calypso about the right of passage that all teenagers under the Magic code must go under. She had to take the responsibility of witchery whether she wanted it or not; the guide of Witchcraft would not accept anything less. It didn’t matter to Calypso, she knew since she was little what she wanted.

“I want to be just like you, Astraea!” Calypso said…  and so it was done.

More on the Black Widow Kids: First up, Andrew & Anne.

Andrew & Anne Violet: Third and Fourth children from unknown alien.

Andrew went into college with unyielding determination. He swiftly picked Mathematics as his major, since it gave him enough pleasurable choices to use toward his future.

Anne was more reluctant at first, and it took her awhile to finally decide that an Art major would best suit her dream of becoming a Super Chef.

While Andrew kept himself busy keeping straight A’s….

Anne kept herself busy by getting to know the cute hunk in her dorm…

And having some wild night study sessions with her highschool sweetheart….

Who only had one thing on his mind.

But when Anne’s grades started getting really bad,  she decided it would be in her best interest to put some interest back into her cooking. She starting working odd jobs like cafeteria chef.

She even tried to study, since she was able to find a very nice, and cute study partner, but it still wasn’t fun.

Andrew thought it wasn’t supposed to be fun; college was essential for maximum knowledge retention and growth. This was the one thing they disagreed on often.

Because Anne thought College was supposed to be fun, she did all she could to have her share of it. Corey, the cute dorm boy, finally decided Anne was someone worth having fun with. Oliver, her highschool boy,  was a makeout machine, but Corey was…. different. And Different is Good!

Andrew also had his share of people wanting to have fun with him, but he just was not interested. He didn’t have the time for girls right now. His straight A’s were more important.

Anne graduated with a nice B average, and moved back to her hometown to persue her dream. She used some of her College money to get a decent house a few blocks away from her mother’s house.

More often than she ever thought she would, she went out with Corey. He called her every day, and she often thought of him when they were apart.

Then one night he proposed, and she couldn’t help herself– she accepted and they ran off to elope that very night.

They rushed at getting married for a good reason; one of their romantic dates had lead to something very unexpected, so her dreams, and his, were put on hold for a few months.

Corey Jr. was born a few nights later. He looked just like his father but with one exception. Won’t Uncle Andrew be pleased?

Speaking of Andrew, when he graduated he had enough money and enough prestige to land a very upscale apartment, and a super cool job as a Field Agent in intelligence.

He had it all; great money, a great job, a great place to live. Though there was one very big thing that was missing, and had been on his mind ever since he became an adult. On a nightly basis when he wasn’t too tired from his job, he searched the skies for any information about his birth father. His attempts failed every time.

Loneliness set in, even though he was promoted to Double Agent and was allowed to house some really cool gadgets. He thought he could learn more about his neighbors the only way he knew how to be sociable: Spy on them.

There was this one neighbor he really wanted to get to know…. but try as he might, he couldn’t bring himself to even utter two words to her. The most he ever could do was have a drink next to her by the outside bar at his apartment complex. Maybe one day….

Isabella Violet: Fifth child. Father Irfan Reeves.

Isabella went into College really confused. She stayed undecided on a major during her freshmen year as she tried to figure out what she wanted to do.

Then it hit her like a ton of bricks. She wanted to be a dancer! With the extra college money she had, joined together with four other students who also were in her classes, she moved into a private dance studio to concentrate on dancing, fulled by her major in Theatre.

There was this one girl, Anna, who meshed really well with Isabella. They loved the same things, were in the same classes together, and even lived together. Isabella first wanted to be friends, then best friends… and then, suddenly..

Their relationship went into the heart zone, with no possible option of rejection.

And so the very repetitious, very boring pattern began. They woke up, ate breakfast, did homework, practiced dancing, made out, danced together, made out, went to class, made out, went to bed, dreamt of each other, and then started all over again with breakfast and more making out until they graduated.

The one interesting thing during this whole ordeal was that equal attraction of both women towards Steven- one of the boys at their dance studio. When the girls graduated, they moved into a small apartment together, where Steven moved in shortly after. (No, I forgot After College shots of these three… sorry! It’s totally Three’s Company, though- isn’t it? LOL)

Yancy Violet: Sixth Child. Mother Yusun Kalson.

Isn’t Yancy a cutie! *Whistles* Yancy went into college much like his older sister; he was very confused over what he wanted to do for his future. I decided to check his hobbies and found out he wanted to learn all about tinkering. Okay- We can do that, Yancy!

One Robot station coming up! Needless to say, Yancy had found his passion. He jumped on the whole Electronic/Robot endeavor eagerly, and decided on a math major to help him through his hobby.

One day, when Yancy went out to a local bar for a bit of a school break, he ran into the one person that could make his mentality turn into goo: Carmen Do. She remembered him immediately and offered to buy him a drink. This chance meeting turned into them meeting almost every other day, until finally Yancy got the courage to ask her on a date. She couldn’t refuse him now, right? He was older and more… well, older!

She agreed to the date, and even though his ideal romantic date of a day at the park was ruined due to a surprise rainstorm, things went A. Okay! Yancy was in love, well… MORE in love.

Carmen often seemed confused and unsure of Yancy’s advances as he went through his college years, but as the days went on, she fell in love too. She may be years and years older than him, yet Yancy did not care. Soon, neither did she.

When Yancy graduated, Carmen let him move into her house and helped support his dream of opening his own Robot store. He earned his gold badge and made his biggest robot just days after he moved in. RoboCarmen was a welcomed addition to their growing family.

Dexter Violet: Seventh Child. Father Darren Awon

Dexter went off to college after getting some new clothes and cuting his curly locks. He ran around trying to make friends with every person in his dorm, since that was his lifetime want.

This one guy, Nawwaf Jayapalan (Not even kidding), was a foreign exchange student from someplace Dexter couldn’t remember. He and Dexter hit it off really well… which made Dexter want to spend every waking minute with him.

“That’s my best friend Nawwaf Jayalalaaa-something, who I call Jay cause it’s easier,” Dexter told his younger brother Charlie, when his brother arrived to college one day. Dexter used his skills to paint and take photos of his ‘best friend’ which he then decided to use for art projects when he went into Art class.

Charlie Violet: Eighth child. Father Corbin Wilson.

Charlie grew up into a teenager, and instead of hang around the insane house of two children, a crazy mother, and a restless stepdad, he went straight off to college to be with his fun older brother Dexter. Charlie rolled Fortune and wants to earn 1,000.000 dollars.

Right now, though, he wants to figure out why his brother is obsessed with that ‘Jay’ dude.

Stephen Violet & Stacy Copur: Ninth and Tenth children. Mother Sharlene Copur.

The mom-twins grew up and became a force to be reckoned with. They did everything together, liked the same things, and usually were in their own little world- even into teenager-hood.

Stephen rolled Pleasure and wants 50 1st dates. Stacy rolled Romance and wants to woohoo with 20 different sims. Let’s hope those dreams are not coexistent with each others. (LOL)

Lady grew old right before the twins became teenagers. Once the grey hair sprouted things got ugly. She turned into some mean old bat who had no patience, no manners, and definitely no more sex. I think that’s what did it for her, Toby did not want to so much as look at his ‘old’ girl friend, let alone sleep with her. Lady would have killed him off if she had the energy to do it…

–She didn’t really have the space for another gravestone, anyways. Besides, what better torture for her cheap boyfriend than to have him to take care of her old, fugly butt?

So Ends The Black Widow Challenge.

Here’s a group photo with Lady. Click to enlarge.

And another one with just the kids, labeled by order of birth.

Thanks for reading this Challenge!

Part one of two parts that will end this challenge. Look for part two next week!

—————————————————————————————-

The last part of this Challenge starts with two toddlers, one child, one teenager, a pup named Jake, and a maid! I think it’s hilarious that the maid is still running around in her job attire. Makes pictures like this hilarious.

Speaking of maids, here is Anna’s replacement. Armando (what’s with the A-maid names? LOL) is very serious about his job. Both Anna and Lady tried to make friends with him, and he wouldn’t have it. Sheesh!

Now, because the end draws near, Lady had to secure her last dance with desire– or something. (LOL) Because the rules state there must be ten deaths, Anna isn’t to be the last encounter Lady will have to have. No, she has to cheat on Anna, and- of course- kill her to put ten deaths on the table. So, our oldest friend was called over for a visit: Toby Brueing. He is Mr. Garden Club, and has been a friend since the beginning of the challenge when Chuck turned into a green thumb. Figured it’d be fun to end the challenge with him.

Toby had other ideas. None that included making out or getting romantic with Lady. Go figure!

Lady has a backup plan. It’s funny that she also had to resort to potions to snag her first man. Full circle, here.

I can imagine Anna saying something like: “How dare you mess up that bed, I just made it!” Obviously she’s mad that Lady is getting busy, but she started to lecture the couple instead of throwing the usual fit. Weird.

This was one frisky affair, however. They got busy again later that night, without caring that they were in the middle of the living room, or that they had a peeping-ghost.

Anna didn’t take to the affair very well. She started to stay on the couch for hours at a time, either eating away her pain, or drowning out on some T.V. show. It didn’t help that her aspiration was in a very low place, and her fun levels were never taken care of.

I should have known her mood and motives would contribute to an accident, but nothing prepared me for this! I was so surprised that I didn’t even catch the event fast enough, and all I was able to capture was the aftermath. Ugh. So- because Anna snacked a lot, she threw away a lot of trash, resulting in the trash compactor broken. And because I was neck deep in toddler training at the time with Lady and Dexter, I had Anna repair the broken appliance. I thought she had enough mechanics to not end up shocked, and I hadn’t kept up her aspiration or motives very well, so… Poof goes Anna. (and here I wanted to kill her death by flies, too! :/) Hello Death Number 10!

I have toddlers to see to! Darnit! Ah well, Toby was called over to move in and help!

Wouldn’t you know it, I would get stuck with a cheap, broken man with some decent talents, and a gold badge. I had heard about this- if moving in a Garden Club member that things would be broken, but oh well. It figures.

———————————————————————————

Because this is a two parter, the END-END won’t be until, well- the end. SO, now it’s time to take a look back at what happened with the first half of the eleven Children.

Claudius King: Father Chuck King.

Remember Claudius? Well he moved in with his sweetheart Cathy Todd, and got married in Chapter 5. They got pregnant really fast, with twins, and then when the twins grew up, Claudius decided to have an extra pair of green hands to help him with his home farm/business. From left to right: Claudius, baby Cara and teenager Cory, Cathy Todd, baby Charlie and teenager Cody.

Constance Violet: Father Chuck King, first born child.

Constance was the first child born, and the only child to have a hair color that was not black. She went off to college with dreams of becoming an actress, and quickly got herself situated in her studies. Instead of moving into a dorm, she used her college loans to rent a small town home.

She invited her old high school sweetheart Holden Leelaporn, and his best friend Blake Weburg to share the town home. That way she didn’t have to pay all the bills. Holden was a pleasure Sim, who had no idea what to do with his future, and Blake was a knowledge sim who went into journalism to study to become a writer.

Of course Constance was still a romance sim which meant she wanted to have fun while at college. Holden was very happy to help.

However Constance couldn’t keep herself faithful for more than a week. There were a lot of hunks on campus. She ended up having a handful of men come a-calling for her.

Which started a lot of fights when she mingled with members of the opposing campus.

Heather Violet: Second child. Father Hobart Hourvitz.

Constance’s younger sister grew up and was also invited into the crazy household. Heather had some worries about the chaos in the house, but Constance reassured her that things would be calmer with her there to help.

Heather had a one track mind. She wanted to serve her country as a general, which meant she had to keep her physical health up. She bought a soccer net to put in the small backyard to keep herself fit and limber. For some reason Holden found interest in Heather and never missed watching her practice.

Blake also found himself interested in the stunning Constance. When she was free of her wild antics, he couldn’t resist spending some fun time with her. She didn’t mind the attention at all.

In fact, Heather encouraged Blake’s interest, even though he had some reservations about Constance and Holden. He knew Constance wasn’t serious about Holden, and soon learned the same about Holden who, on a regular basis, was hanging around Heather. It seemed that his priorities had changed, and so had Constance’s.

Holden had fell in love with Heather; she was the kind of girl he could admire, have fun with, and really be himself around without issues. And she, barely knowing about his past with her half-sister, grew very fond of Holden.

Yet she was reserved as rumors came to her about Holden’s relationship with Constance. She cared for Holden but could not bring herself to be with him on a serious level until she was sure he was over Constance and would be faithful to only her. Holden never had a problem about being faithful, but was willing to wait for Heather to trust him.

Constance was also learning about the idea of being faithful to one person. Blake consumed her thoughts, even though her eyes wandered all the time. He was very different than most of the guys she fooled around with, and it was a nice change.

To earn his heart’s desire, Holden cleaned up his act. He cut his hair, and fixed himself up to prove to Heather that he was ready to be serious and could change. Heather was shocked, but not as shocked as Constance was.

He even started to get into the idea of being physically fit, trying to enjoy the things that Heather enjoyed. Surprisingly he liked her way of things, and when the time came he decided to change himself even more and became a Popularity sim like her. His new goal was to become a Captain Hero.

Heather started to warm up to Holden again, and trust was soon earned and given. (Was showing this picture mostly because of how the barista reacted to the couple’s outgoing affections. ROFL)

Because graduation for Holden was on the brink, he decided to try and secure the future he so desperately wanted. Heather was completely thrown off guard, but in the end she agreed to marry this man she knew she was in love with.

Constance and Blake graduated and moved into a nice, lush apartment complex after Heather got a hot role on a television show. Blake decided to help his beloved with her career and took his college degree into a whole new endeavor to become Constance’s agent. To this day they live the high life.

She has dreams of awards and riches, and Blake wants to do whatever is in his power to make it happen.

When Heather finally graduated, Holden had already secured a house for them to live in.  You can tell that Holden is the happiest man alive.

He had some guys come in and install a court in the backyard, and immediately he and Heather played a game. They both decided to get their act together and jump into their dream careers.

The next step was to finalize their union. Claudius, Constance, and a pregnant Lady were invited.

This is my favorite picture of the couple just because Heather looks like she’s extremely happy AND giddy to be married. And Holden’s profile suggests he’s filled with pride and adoration for his wife.

This the end of part one. With part two we’ll see how the twins Anne and Andrew are doing, and learn about Isabella, Yancy, and the remaining Violet Family.

Too Many Babies!

——————————————————————————————-

I forgot to mention it in my last update, but Isabella got herself a nursing job as soon as she was able so she could do something constructive with her time. We start this update with her maxing her job level with a promotion. Good job Isabella!

And that night: Lady reached the top of her career, AND fulfilled her LTW! WOOHOO!

However, like clockwork, she popped up pregnant after showering out of her work clothes. She doesn’t seem to happy about the bun in the oven. I can’t imagine how she must feel; so many babies!

The Ladies of the family had a nice mealtime together. (Dexter is a lady, right? ROFL)

Even though Dexter was rather feminine (are those Jazz hands, Dexter??) he was still included in games that Yancy wanted to play.

Time was ticking away, which meant that Isabella had to leave for College. Yancy waves, knowing he’ll be joining her very very soon.

Tadaa! Birthday night! Yancy is nice on the eyes. Surprisingly I rolled Family again, and Yancy’s LTW is to reach a golden anniversary. He likes hard workers, and creative people, and dislikes formal wear. (LOL)

EGADS! What is THAT?! Somehow, maybe because I’m forgetful, Sharlene suddenly got a bump in the middle of the night. I don’t remember any extra rumps in the hay, so crap… more babies are on the way!

Since she looked silly with her belly sticking out, I went ahead and just gave her a makeover, along with appropriate clothing for her new situation. She’s really pretty without the cowboy hat. (Hehee)

With TWO pregnant ladies in the house (this is a nightmare, I tell ya!) the family finally depleted the storage of farmed veggies and had to order groceries. By Sharlene’s expression you’d think she never saw a basket of food before.

remember him? Charlie’s been pretty much doing his own thing; thankfully Jake is around to keep him occupied.  They are a cute pair of friends.

After school the next day, I found Yancy greeting a passerby. At first I thought she might have been a family friend, or something, but nope- Yancy just really wanted to ‘greet’ her.

Immediately Carmen Do discusses Yancy’s birthday. I imagine she’s letting him down gently, since he was way younger than she is. I think it’s funny he’s aiming for them older ladies.

Another birthday! Charlie grew up and….whoa… you know, he looks similar to….

Yep. He’s definitely a Yancy clone! Cute, but so very clonish!

The next morning it was rise and shine, time to get up and give birth! Welcome baby Stephen! (ugh! Another boy! I started to get worried at this point.)

Right after the bun in the oven was out, Lady went to work- like the work eccentric woman she is. A chance card came up, making me extremely nervous (no getting fired, please!) but I picked right and THIS was the result! Hot Dog, early retirement is secure!

Even though he was turned down by his older lady, she still called him a lot, and when she invited him to an outing, I figured what the heck, he should have fun. Puppy Love is adorable!

They had a wonderful time bowling, despite all the odd looks he’d receive.

I decided to show this clip because of the hilarity behind it, and how everyone seems to be responding. So while Lady was at work, and the kids were doing schoolwork and things, Sharlene decided to make a Turkey Dinner. I thought, wow- that’s pretty cool, considering it’s Fall again, it fits! I had everyone sit down at the table and get ready for a Thanksgiving setting, when two things happened. One, Sharlene didn’t serve Lady in the right spot, and two: Dexter ate his entire turkey meal in two shovels! Everyone else barely started while he sucked down that dinner like an infamous vacuum. The picture makes it funnier- they are all looking at him like ‘WTF Dexter?!’ ROFL! I had to share!

Before the next day began, into the really late night hours, and during Lady’s beauty sleep, Sharlene gave birth to….

Another boy! HAHAA JK! Say hello to Stacy! Yes! Finally a girl! But darn it all, I’m very upset at myself for putting custom hair on Lady; all the kids are coming out with black hair!

Now that the baby popped out– Lady got frisky with the two-timing maid! Funny thing is, I dunno of Sharlene is mad at the maid, or at Lady! (LOL)

Another YES! Finally moment: Death by satellite. I don’t know if my newest hack, (higher odds) had anything to do with it, but after trying with almost every victim, Sharlene finally scores us a big one!  What’s that in the sky?

Your Death! MWAHAHA!

Moving right along, we moved in the Maid: Anna Dalton. She’s a Family girl, unemployed (which is weird because I have that hack that makes the NPC’s keep their job! ) and only brought 5$k with her.

Glad we moved fast there, the babies were having birthdays! Happy birthday– whoa, Stephen got into the funky hairdos. Gotta fix that one.

Okay back to the business. Happy birthday Stephen AND Stacy! Awww! They are twins….erm…. from different Mommas.

Another birthday hit that evening, quite by surprise, so Dexter did not get a cake. I rolled Popularity for him (HAHA) and his LTW is to have 20 Best Friends. Not too shabby! He likes red hair and creative sims, and dislikes hats.

There’s this rule I follow about only one teenager in the house at a time, unless it’s twins, so Yancy had to be sent to college. It was a good idea, anyway, Isabella was waiting. Stay tuned for more next week!

Will it ever be the same?

————————————————————————————-

When we last left off, Corbin was rushing off to see to a fire in the graveyard. Since it was raining the fire was put out, though Corbin’s needs went down heavily. It was, I suppose, the perfect opportunity for Darren to get in his ‘scare’.

I’m sure you saw this coming, yes?

Darren gets extra points for killing the exact man he found with his woman.

The rest of the household was pretty oblivious to the goings-on of ghosts and death, except for Isabella. She continued to bring up odd subjects like magic genies and aliens. I don’t think Yancy was very impressed.

The next day brought a new move-in special. Sharlene Copur moved in with 13,000 simoleans, nine friends (Wow!) AND she was a cook! Hot diggy dog! She also was a Knowledge Sim, but there was a touch of family values in her; she was excited about a new baby on the way.

To give the girls something to do in this growing house, I bought crafting tables. It was fun watching Isabella make pottery, and see Sharlene get excited about pot holders.

But the funniest thing to see was watching Sarah scare the ‘piss’ out of Lady that night as she was teaching Dexter how to walk. Sarah looks to be happy about it too.

But that wasn’t the end of it. Irfan jumped in for a scare, but by the looks of it, he jumped in to get a peek at some Lady lumps.

Since the ghosts froze up Lady’s plans to get Dexter ready for childhood, I finally decided to use smart milk and get it done already. Glowing Christmas baby coming right up!

When Dexter went down for a nap, Sharlene went to work, and all the other kids went to school, Lady was allowed some ‘me’ time with the now friendly maid. Man, it took a really long time to get this maid to jump on the Lady Train.

When Sharlene got home, she was promoted! Wowza! More money! Sharlene- we like you. To bad you aren’t sticking around for much longer.

Ever since Yancy grew up, he wanted a pet. It was kitten this, puppy that. Birdcage, ect ect. So finally I gave in and adopted a little puppy for him. We kept his name: Jake.

Isabella decided to take up studying one night, but unfortunately a familiar green ghost would not stop assaulting the curtains, which distracted the snot out of her. Oh well, she really didn’t need to study.

It wasn’t like she’d get much studying done anyways. A huge commotion went on shortly afterwards, resulting in one mad green ghost, one wandering white ghost, and a new baby. Welcome baby Charlie. Another boy, sheesh!

Jake added to more problems by peeing all over the floor. No one else seemed to care so Isabella had to put a stop to it and tell that puppy who was boss.  Question: How did all that pee come out of such a tiny puppy?!

Jake grew up that night. I mean, he sorta of did. I mean he had a birthday and it says he’s a big dog now but, um… he’s still the tiniest thing ever.

Obviously size doesn’t matter; Jake takes on one of the couches, even though he can clearly fit neatly under it without a fuss.

The next funniest thing to happen in this game; the Maid cheating on Lady with Sharlene! The maid hangs out after her chores a lot, and nothing really goes on between anyone that has been heavily romantic. I’ve been putting it off until babies grow up and such. Well, when the house got kind of crazy, I queued Sharlene to say goodbye to Lady’s good friend the maid ( who has not interacted with Sharlene at all, mind you) and THIS was the result. WOW. You Hussies!

Meanwhile, Yancy and Jake bond. I decided to show this shot because dude- that stick is bigger than Jake! That’s gotta be one strong toy dog.

Birthday time for Dexter. This is another funny shot. I imagine Lady looking at her daughter and thinking ‘Why couldn’t you have been a Knowledge Sim?’ while Dexter gives Isabella a little devil grin. ROFL

O.k. so not only does Dexter have the curly, girly hair-do, but he grew up in pink pj’s! I think this is a sign of things to come. Lady is obviously as confused as I am, but I’m hardly upset. I find it hilarious.

His first night as a child and he gets tormented by a ghost. Poor Dexter. Yusun is just jealous of your keen fashion sense.

Now I wish I could have highlighted the gravestone with my mouse or something to prove this shot, but you’ll just have to take my word for it. So, right after Dexter is scared, Jake wakes up from his puppy bed, which is in the same room, barks at Yusun’s ghost for a moment, then runs outside and, I kid you not, pisses on her gravestone! LMAO Jake earns ten bonus points!

In other news, Sharlene came home from a demotion. Which she was happy for? Sharlene you are a nutball. It was a chance card I picked wrong on.

We’ll end this segment with another birthday. Charlie grows up, looking a lot like Yancy. More to come soon!
