Just my Sims

The history of the Helmquists began in September 2012, when I got Supernatural.
To discover Moonlight Falls I created this couple, Freia and Henning Helmquist.
Here their every day outfit

They are the parents of Haldir Helmquist.

I became so attached to them and their family that I have played them continuously since they were created.
Freia is a fairy, Henning is a powerful warlock.

Their son Haldir (left) met his husband Travis right after Travis finished university (although their parents were neighbors, but Haldir didn´t live in Moonlight Falls when Travis grew up)
They immidiately fell in love with each other and up to this day this hasn´t changed a bit.

This picture was taken in order to celebrate their last wedding day.
(at this photo shoot they got the idea that they wanted to have pictures of all their children. ;) )

Travis´father is Tristan van Gould.
Here he is with his second wife Margaret, Travis´ mum died shortly after he finished school.
Margaret is the daughter of one of Haldir´s brothers (they will be pictured, too, some day in the far future :p )

Emerson and Silvie Helmquist

Emerson is the oldest son of Haldir and one of his potential heirs.

Haldir once was married to somebody else before he met the love of his life Travis.
Emerson is the son of Haldir and Emily van Gould, the sister of Tristan van Gould. He is a fairy. Emerson is just a few years younger than Travis, but he loves his step-dad as much and strong as his dad. He dislikes his mother from the bottom of his heart.
Silvie is the oldest daughter of Matthew Hamming and Richie Striker (after their marriage their family name is Striker-Hamming). She became a fairy when Emerson threw a poition on her made by his father. Silvie was a werewolf before but Emerson couldn´t stand the hair on the furniture anymore. :D
They live in Moonlight Falls.

Misty and Jules Helmquist-MacDuff

Misty is the oldest daughter of Haldir and his first born child ever.

She is married to Jules MacDuff, the nicer twin of the Moonlight Falls´MacDuff twins. Her mother is Emily van Gould. She doesn´t hate her mother like Emerson does but she doesn´t like her either. (There happened too much in their childhood which made her and Emerson to not like their mother.) She is a fairy. Jules is a very good warlock but once happened to kill himself by eating a distasting jelly bean. He was resurrected by a brother-in-law of Haldir. They live at Cape Garner Island.

Torben and Sebastian Striker-Hamming-Helquist

Torben is the first son of Haldir and Travis.

Torben is married to Sebastian, the first son of Richie Striker(-Hamming). Sebastian is the older brother of Silvie and he met his future husband at her marriage with Emerson. I have to add that Richie and Matthew Striker-Hamming are best friends with Haldir and Travis, because Haldir and Richie played as sports superstars in the same team in Bridgeport and became best friends with each other.
Sebastian was never interested in a steady partnership and had a lot of affairs in Bridgeport before he met Torben. Untill today he is the most faithful husband to Torben. He is much older than Torben but that doesn´t matter much because he is a werewolfe and lives much longer than normal Sims. Torben is a fairy of course. They live in Hidden Springs, in the near of Sebastians fathers.

Thom and Rike Helmquist

The second son of Haldir and Travis.

Thom used to be the mayor of Moonlight Falls but after another one of the family got the job he was happy to resign and to live in retirement at Cape Garner Islands with his wife and the youngest children. His wife is a werewolf and likes to hunt in the woods there. She is the younger sister of Sebastian and Silvie. Yes, the two families have a very strong and narrow bond. ;) Thom is a fairy.

Timothy and Suze Helmquist-Northman

The day at the photo studio was long and Timothy and Suze were the last to be photographed so they weren´t very motivated anymore! ;)
They both are self-employed as successful painters, supported by Travis who is a well-known patron of the arts. Timothy met Suze when one of Haldir´s sisters married her father, Eric Northman, in Monte Vista. Suze´s mother died at the day of her birth and she was alone with her dad until he decided to marry again when she already was adult. She is a fairy like Timothy and they are the next door neighbors of his dads when they are at home in Moonlight Falls.

@AlexaKry It is really cool seeing your original sims and the parents of Haldir.
I think you got the hang of taking family portraits really quick!! They are fantastic.
Lots of pretty close relations. :grin:
I loved the Van Gould family when I first got Supernatural, but I made my own sims and they didn't marry townies. They were friends though. :lol:
Amazing you've been playing the same family all that time. My Ballan folks have only been around since 2017. Imagine where they will be after 8 years! As slow as I play barely changed probably. lol
