hey there! welcome to the sims section.
i've been playing the sims series for a very long time, it's one of the first games i can remember playing.. specifically sims 2 for the ps2!
i love making my own little stories and stuff when i play, it's just a fun virtual dollhouse after all so I thought i'd talk about the things i get up to here since it makes me happy :p
daily life stuff
family life. kids are doing well in school, AILEEN and MATT are doing well in work.
DARIA's grown into a teenager! her aspiration is KNOWLEDGE, like her brother CAMERON
CARLA is pregnant! MALCOM will be having a little sibling!
JULIETTE aged up into a teenager! her aspiration is KNOWLEDGE
the family's trying to get the kids into private school, but because of their financial troubles they keep getting rejected.
RYAN is very serious while REBECCA is very playful, so REBECCA hasn't been doing her homework or cared about it at all while RYAN had been making sure all of his is done
TRACY and HEATHER are both pleasure sims so don't really mind for the most part, but they're both also very interested in knowledge as it's their 2nd aspirations so want to make sure REBECCA won't get in trouble. they don't care if she doesn't want to put all her effort into learning, but she will be smart.
though she has grown more interested in doing her homework during this cycle, maybe she just has trouble concentrating in school?
i've moved the family to another house, HEATHER needs a bigger kitchen for her cooking and the twins want more room to do their own things, they have enough money anyway.
after they moved into a bigger home, heather got fired the same day.
TREY grew into a child!
EDITH got a new outfit to look more professional now that she's older and taking her career more seriously to make that bread
AILEEN got a job in music, the kids have been doing their homework just fine.
CAMERON and DARIA got into private school!
mostly just daily life stuff, MARA and CARLA got a few promotions though.
normal family life. changed MARIA's hair to be more textured like her dad's
RYAN and REBECCA grew into children after their parents struggled with them as toddlers
TREY grew into a toddler!
BRIAN and BRIANNA have grown into children, another pair with a bad toddlerhood due to parenting struggles
CAMERON grew into a teenager!
CAMERON got abducted by aliens on his first night as a teenager
MARA and MALCOM went to a bakery on the weekend, there wasn't anyone working behind the register so MARA left in a rage.
NIA and MARIA grew into children!
nothing much happened other than TRACY and HEATHER struggling to take care of twins together while trying to be successful in their careers
EDITH gave birth to their son, TREY!
AILEEN quit her job so her and MATT could take better care of the twins, MATT is very aspirational about his career while AILEEN doesn't care as much about working
family life stuff for the most part, but DIANNA and CANDICE'S careers have been going VERY well so they're quite rich now, so moving into a nice big cushy home for their family
more normal family life stuff
TRACY is showing her baby bump now
TRACY saw a pregnant ROSE while shopping for some new clothes, it was kind of awkward
that night TRACY gave birth to her and HEATHER's twins, RYAN and REBECCA!
they earned a nice chunk of money from progressing their careers in culinary and gaming, so decided to move into a more spacious place since they have two children to take care of now
nothing much happened except EDITH finally getting the job in architecture she's wanted since she moved into CHRYSANTHEMUM
AILEEN gave birth to twins, BRIAN and BRIANNA! they grew into toddlers quickly
DARIA grew into a child!
(i went to bed after the GRACE household and continued playing the rest of the cycle after figuring out how to install RESHADE into my SIMS2RPC launcher finally so if ur wondering why my game suddenly looks different thats why lol)
MALCOM grew into a child as well!
ROSE unexpectedly gave birth to twins, NIA and MARIA. these two parents aren't doing too well when it comes to money, but hopefully they'll be able to make ends meet and give these children the best that they can offer
JULIETTE grew into a child, so she can at least take care of herself more so the parents can focus on the twins
mostly daily life-to life stuff. HEATHER got a few promotions in the culinary career though! on the last day they rolled to try for baby, and TRACY is pregnant!
DOMINIC got a few promotions in his career as an adventurer, he and EDITH moved in together since they're both single and are good friends, they got a better house since they have plenty of cash from their successful careers.
they don't really have any attraction for each other but they're probably going to end up getting married for their own benefits, DOMINIC could use the money for his own interests and EDITH could use his smarts to get more money. but they might end up genuinely liking each other since they have quite a lot in common..
their main aspirations are FORTUNE for EDITH and KNOWLEDGE for DOMINIC, but they both share POPULARITY as their 2nd aspiration so it makes sense to me they would get together for a more secure social standing
they're officially together !! once they started flirting and hanging out more they were suddenly SUPER into each other
AILEEN proposed to MATT and he accepted, they moved out of their rinky dink little house and have something more spacious now.
they got a dog named moody, then had a date night and rolled to try for a baby, AILEEN is now pregnant!
nothing much happened other than daily life stuff, but daria grace is a toddler now!
daily life stuff as well, but MALCOM DUE is also a toddler now!
JULIETTE BURN grew into a toddler too! time's been flying for these families this cycle !!
like i said in my news section "I've mostly been waiting for things to develop naturally as it can be a bit awkward when you make a new neighborhood and you're still deciding what you want each one to do and seeing how their relationships develop, but they're already starting to have children", so this entry is going to be a big picture dump with some commentary notes i wrote as i was playing, the next entries will be less sloppy :3
tracy quick and candice grace hit it off immedietly, as well as jacques court and dominic element as you can see in the background
jacques court is a romance sim, and apparently wants to be a bad boy lol
dominic element is into it, so they had a one-night stand which started a complicated relationship (at least for dominic), jacques has 2 chemistry for dominic and rose, him and rose are both romance sims so it'd make sense for them to get together and mess around with other sims, but he may be developing actual feelings for dominic as he fears him dying and being rejected by him
heather rock lives alone in an apartment next door to matt rumor
carla ban and mara due hit it off quickly and were actually the first to go steady i believe, an iconic knowledge and fortune sim lesbian pairing
edith row and tracy quick went on an official date and it went well, but during the date tracy got the want to fall in love with candice..
tracy quick and edith row rushed their relationship a bit and both of them lost a chemistry point for each other after deciding to move in together, maybe tracy would still be happier with candice and edith can find happiness with someone else? candice does like tracy but candice is a family sim and will not touch tracy with a ten foot pole while she's living with someone else, she also likes dianna just as much as she's attracted to tracy and dianna is a family sim so they'd be very good for each other.
but tracy met heather rock through candice after inviting her over to hang out and seems to have a thing for heather, they're also both pleasure sims so maybe they'll end up together ?? is tracy going to take the easy route and go with heather, a more relaxed sim who likes living life for herself like tracy, or will she commit to candice and have a big family and be a fun mom?
i feel like tracy and edith are together sort of for the hell of it because it's fun, but edith is going to end up focusing on her career and not going to wait around to see if tracy will be successful in the gaming career, especially since she's a lazy pleasure sim and kick her out once she gets bored.
i love when it snows in the sims!
aileen, heather, matt, and dominic all went to dinner together, aileen and heather are good friends and aileen obviously likes matt hehe
dianna and candice grace finally went on a date after having feelings each other for a while and REALLY hit it off
dianna surprised her with an engagement at a night club
and they got married pretty much right after because they didn't want to wait any longer to start over as a family
tracy was at the club at the same time, and even though her and candice have liked each other for a while tracy was happy for them! they'll continue to be good friends
edith and aileen hate each other for some reason?
candice and dianna had a son named cameron!
jacques and rose are very good friends, and like to sleep together when nobody else is willing to mess around with them since they're both romance sims
aileen and matt finally went on a date and it went VERY well for them, they started going steady and moved in together soon after
edith row broke up with tracy quick, tracy asked heather if she wanted to be roomates so heather finally moved out of her little apartment and they got a house together
cameron grace has grown up into a child now and has a little sister named daria! candice and dianna are planning on having one more pregnancy, at least until cameron is an adult
jacques court knocked up rose burn, they're both romance sims and so are aprehensive about commitment, but he cares for rose deeply so wants to support their child. they're happily living together from now on. soon after this rose gave birth to her and jacques' daughter, juliette
carla gave birth to her and mara's son, malcom
that's caught up to present day now, like i said the next entries won't be as much of a info dump
