My very first Sims and her small house.
Recently I went through some old backup from an older computer I had in 2009. I found my very first Sims and her house in Sunset Valley. I also found the note pad .txt document I used to record her life. In 2009 the Sims did not have memories, it was just the basic game. I had also backed up an in game picture of her, shown below.

At the end of her life, I wrote in note pad! "Some day I will give you the life you deserve." And left it at that.
Now almost 10yrs later(RL) I have started to Revive her.
Below is a condensed short story of her life in Sunset Valley. Hope you enjoy!
(Shaula Shamore)The Pictures shows her several days after her parents were killed in an explosion at the lab.
She was only about a week into Young Adult age. Her parents did not leave her an inheritance, just the house and the bills. They had been big spenders, buying new cars, going to parties and giving away money! Which left them very poor.
Shaula got a job in the town's restaurant. She liked cooking and gardening, but hated fishing, which held her back from improving her job performance.
She never went to parties and her only acquaintance were her class mates Emma Hatch and Madison VanWatson. She was too busy trying to make enough money to pay the bills to make many friends.
One day she took an early break from work, headed to the park to enjoy one of her perfect Apples she grew in her yard as a pre-dinner bonus. She was relieved when she arrived to find no one was in the park and with a sigh she sat down on a bench and started munching on her apple. After a little while she felt another presence sit down beside her, and she glanced over to see a very handsome man. He smiled at her and said "It's a beautiful day" She smiled back and agreed. She offered him an apple, which he declined and seemed offended by her offer! They continued to converse and when she got up to leave, he flirted with her.
Some time passes in the story. They become lovers and were married. It was after they were married that she learned that he was obsessed with flirting. She was not concerned. She was in love, and he was in love with her. Little did she realize the consequences of marrying a flirt.
A few months later she gave birth to Karlie, a beautiful little baby girl and both she and her husband was thrilled.
He was a fisherman, and he sold his fish to the market every day, and they had a nice saving going! After Karlie aged into a child and started school, Shaula decided it was time to have another child. Her husband didn't care much for the idea, he felt they needed more savings, and they needed to expand the house another room. He was working hard, out most of the day and evening fishing.
Shaula was determined and wooed him any chance she got. Finally, she became pregnant, and had another little girl she named Marcy.
After Marcy was born her husband became a stranger to their children. He was spending more and more time away from home. He would spend several days out fishing and come home, only to go out again several hours later.
Marcy aged into childhood, and Karlie became a teen. Shaula missed her husband, and finally she confronted him. She wanted him to be home more. But she realized he was right when he said they needed more money for the girls as they were growing up fast, and they would need money for their wedding when the time came.
One night as Shaula sat reading, a dark cloud covered the moon. It started to rain very hard, and Shaula got up, put her book away and went to look out the window. She saw a shadow in the yard, and she sighed with relief, finally her husband had come home.
The shadow stood there for a moment and moved into the window light and looked up. Shaula gasped, the person looking up at her was herself! She looked different and appeared ghostly in the glow from the window. But it was her!
Shaula shivered, her knees grew weak, and the shivers got worse. She had a terrible feeling of foreboding. She backed away from the window and immediately grabbed her phone. She never called her husband, never wanted to disturb him while he was working. He took a while to answer the phone, and when he did, she heard a female voice in the background (which at the time did not register) she pleaded with him to come home. He declined saying the weather was too bad, and he would spend the night at a friend's house.
She stayed up the rest of the night, walking the floors while having bouts of shivering. She was exhausted and today was Saturday; she needed to work a few hours at the restaurant, and then she could take a nap before doing her gardening.
Her shift was over and as she was walking toward her car, the phone rang. Oh no! she though. I hope that's not Emma wanting to hang out I need to do my gardening! But it wasn't Emma, it was the police emergency, saying her daughter Marcy and another young girl drowned in the local swimming pool.
Shaula world splintered, shards of her soul fell around her in tiny glowing bits of debris. She stumbled towards her car, her only thought was to get home and hug Karlie, to give and receive comfort.
She arrived home; the door was unlocked and partly opened. She entered the living room and knew right away Karlie was not home.
Then she heard a noise coming from her bedroom. Karlie!
She opened the door and saw a couple woohooing in her bed! It was her husband and a woman she only saw in passing, Jamie Jolina. She cried out and heard another loud crack coming from somewhere within her. She stood there, numb beyond belief! Hand pressed over her mouth, to contain more screams from bursting forth.
She slowly backed up, aiming for the door but found herself behind the divider screen instead. She continued to stare at the bed, still in numbing pain. The couple finished, and both got out of bed. He turns toward his lover and moves in for a long kiss. He lovely massage's her back and puts his arms around her, hugging her amorously. Then he slowly pushes her back to the bed. They both fell onto the bed and started to woohoo again.
Shaula trembling, eases back towards the door. She bumps into someone and felt arms goes around her. Karlie!
Karlie pulls her into the living room, and they both cry on each other's shoulder. Karlie pulls away and says, "Mom you didn't know?" Shaula shook her head. "Mom," Karlie said" I've known since grade school, except his lover was Zelda Mae. All the kids made fun of me, saying my dad was a bad man," Karlie wiped her eyes. "He's been in that room with her all morning. I went to sit in the backyard, so I couldn't hear---, and then the phone rang---" Karlie started to cry again.
Watching the tears streaming down her daughters face, Shaula felt strength building inside her. She turned toward the bedroom, entered and screamed at her husband! He jumped out of bed with a stupefied look on his face like a love sick clown! She slapped him and it felt good to do so. She told him the marriage was over, and she meant it. He didn't react because he didn't care. He didn't answer the emergency phone call as he was too busy (working); he didn't even know he'd lost his little girl.
Karlie came into the room, and she looked at her father with hate-filled eyes. Her mother was not the only one to suffer for his betrayals. "Mom" Karlie said" He's got to go, he can't live here anymore. I can't stand being in the same room with him."
Shaula looked at the stranger that was her husband and felt all the lonely years she spent at home waiting for him to come home. She pointed her finger at the door and told him to leave. She kicked him out, never wanting to see him again.
Years passed. Shaula became an adult, then an elder. Through those years she fought battles of depression and loneliness. Karlie married Ethan Bunch and moved into a home of their own. Karlie was not totally happy, but her husband never cheated on her. She had three daughters. Which was the only joy in Shaula's life, her grandchildren.
Shaula ambles towards a gave stone, carrying flowers Karlie purchased from the market for this day. This day, the anniversary of the blackest day of her life. The day her soul shattered. She gently laid the flowers on the grave. Kneeling she pulls weeds away from the headstone and from the corner of her eye she sees a brightness in the mausoleum's shadow. Glancing up she sees the figure from long ago, the one she thought was herself! "You are not me" she mumbles "I am old and near my ending"
The figure of the Woman smiles and looks out towards the ocean. She raises her arms out and above her as though she enjoys life to the fullest and slowly disappears.
Shaula eases back and sits down. As she stares at Marcy's grave she found images filtering through her mind. Images of her life, of her children. She felt peace for the first time in many, many years. Peace that only death can bring, she welcomed it!
