Patience
I have been a prolific poster of images of my sims in action over the past few years. Unfortunately recent changes to the forum have broken the links to all of my pictures. I have spent a couple o...

Ted

This is Ted's family tree.
Much later I decided he needed parents and a sister so I made them for him and used Master Controller to add them to his family tree. But for now he is at the top of his family tree.

Ted is a Sim I made in CAS.
I had previously had him in a household of 8 random sims and he had a few skills already when I put him into the game as someone for Patience to meet and seduce.
Since I'd had ageing turned off in that earlier game Ted was still a lot younger than Patience. He'd never had a relationship before either because I rarely allowed my sims to have families at that time.
Ted moved in with Patience and they had four children together before Patience met up with Christopher Steel.
Ted moved out to live on his own when Christopher moved in with Patience.
By the time Ted was ready to move out, Helena, Patience's eldest daughter had decided Ted was the man for her and she pursued him relentlessly. This was autonomous behaviour and I let it happen.
It surprised me at how aggressive she got in her pursuit of him and when she aged up to Young Adult she kept it up and eventually moved in with him. Helena has never considered another sim as a potential partner and Ted has never strayed from her since they finally got together as a couple.
I left them alone in their little home and went off to play Patience's household. That was when I got a message to say they'd had a son and named him Deangelo. That is a name I'd never heard of before.
After that I decided to go and play their household and got them to have another baby. This was a daughter, Carmel. I named her.
Now Ted turned out to be a very responsible father and was concerned about his children who were still living with Patience. Ted felt that Patience was more interested in chasing other men than taking care of her children.
Ted managed to get three of his children to move in with him and Helena. Of course, they were Helena's half-siblings as well as Ted's children. This makes for a complicated family tree and they sometimes appear beside Helena as her half-siblings and sometimes they appear below her in the family tree as her step-children.
Ted and Helena turned out to be a loving couple and eventually marry. Later on they have a really big wedding in Dragon Valley. 'Everyone' is invited.
Patience didn't seem too happy about their marriage and she (autonomously) had some stern words with Ted as soon as they'd tied the knot. I managed to get a screenshot of that.

But this big wedding is still a long way into the future of this family.

Helena
https://s5.postimg.cc/xm8hoff47/Helena_FT001.jpg
Helena is a young adult.
Helena's traits are: Disciplined, Eccentric, Friendly, Family Oriented, Artistic. Her LTW: Vocal Legend.
Helena is in the Singing Career. She is Ted's partner in life and they have two children together.
Helena is the eldest daughter of Patience and Marty.
Due to complications of her family relationships four of her half-siblings are also her step-children when she finally marries Ted.
https://s5.postimg.cc/gmzj963wn/Helena001.jpg
Helena was born in game and this is how the game made her. Much later I eventually took her into CAS and gave her a different hairstyle and clothes. At least Ted loves her as she is.
She manages to complete her lifetime wish.

Theresa
https://s5.postimg.cc/49rag03lz/Theresa_FT001.jpg
Theresa is a teen.
Theresa's traits are: Schmoozer, Bookworm, Friendly, Brave. Her LTW: Become a Creature Robot Cross Breeder.
Notice how Theresa's family tree has extra siblings in it. This is because Ted has children with Patience and Helena, while Patience has children with Marty, Gobias, Ted and Christopher. They are all siblings or half-siblings of Theresa.

Tammy
https://s5.postimg.cc/xrgububt3/Tammy_FT001.jpg
Tammy is a teen. She was born a twin but her twin sister was killed by a meteor when they were still children.
Their father, Ted was killed by the same meteor but had a death flower in his inventory and the Grim Reaper let him go but nothing could save little Toni.
Tammy's traits are: Eccentric, Dislikes Children, Computer Whiz, Friendly.
https://s5.postimg.cc/j9jn3ukhz/Tammy001.jpg
I found it interesting to see she dislikes children, yet chose to have two with one of the older townies from Sunset Valley.
----------------------------------
Toni
https://s5.postimg.cc/xu0pyofgn/Toni_FT001.jpg
Toni was born as Tammy's twin. Unfortunately a meteor hit her when she was playing in the playground floor I had built on one of the upper levels of their house. I still don't understand how a meteor could have hit her there, although that floor had no walls, just columns. There were other floors above her though. Ted, her father, was killed with her but he had a death flower in his inventory.
Toni's tombstone was placed in their back yard and her little ghost appeared occasionally.
Patience made ambrosia for her but she refused to eat it and one day one of her siblings ate it and there was no death fish for Patience to make more ambrosia.
It was middle of Winter, but Patience was desperate for her child to come back to her as a living sim child. She regularly went to the grave yard at midnight to fish for death fish but could never stay long enough to catch any.
I decided to put a wishing well on her lot. It was indoors where Patience wouldn't be so cold. I wasn't sure if this would work but it did and Patience had her death fish in no time. She made more ambrosia.
One night Toni's little ghost was haunting the play room where she had been hit by the meteor. I moved the plate of ambrosia onto a table on that floor. This time Toni ate it and she came back as a living child.
While Toni had been a ghost Tammy had aged up and become a teen. Toni had missed out on a lot of her childhood skills and had to take time to learn things she needed to know.
At this stage of the game Toni is still a child. Her twin sister is a teen.
https://s5.postimg.cc/cyefnfj9j/Toni001.jpg
So, although Ted and Patience had four children together, there were only three pregnancies. I don't think Patience was totally happy with Ted. He was probably too serious as well as too young for her.

Deangelo
https://s5.postimg.cc/rivii9e87/Deangelo_FT001.jpg
Deangelo is the son of Ted and Helena. He is the first grandchild for Patience and Marty.
Deangelo's traits are: Disciplined, Virtuoso, Friendly. He has no LTW as this point.

Carmel
https://s5.postimg.cc/8t3j1ilhj/Carmel_FT001.jpg
Carmel is the daughter of Ted and Helena.
Carmel's traits are: Bookworm, Easily Impressed, Friendly.
I think she's the one who is married to Parker Langerak in the game now and they have a baby. This made Patience and Marty Great Grandparents. But that is much later in the game.
A couple of extra pictures.
