Thanks for creating this post! I don't play with families unless I have a good backstory for them, or I just get bored. I love letting my imagination run wild! My friend said I should write books after I told her about some of my family stories haha. Anyways, I'll share some stories and try to keep them as short/fluff free as possible!!
**I love making people of different cultures! I am from the US and I think its fun to branch out! I use google to find actual names from whatever county I'm playing :).
The Purnama Sisters (longest most in depth story, bare with me)- My game started when young adult Jayachandra moved back to her upper middle class family home in Indonesia to care for her teen sister, Kemala, after the tragic death (car accident) of both of their parents. Jaya was established in the states, but she was a loving responsible sister who didn't want to uproot Kemala's life. She took time off of work and used inheritance money to become reacquainted with her sister and her country. I used this time to build skills and such. Kemala is very mature, intelligent, and adventurous (jungle explorer aspiration). Here's where it gets interesting. Bjorn Bjergsen was a neighbor part of the welcome wagon. He and Kemala developed a friendship. She had been very close to her father and felt a sense of comfort in his company. ***Wicked Whims is a mod, one feature allows teen romance. I used it for this story***. It wasn't until after their relationship had turned romantic that Kemala asked and discovered that Bjorn was a married man. Kemala is a kind and honest girl, this behavior is very uncharacteristic of her, was a result of her recent tragedy, and eventually tore her up inside resulting in it's end. Kemala is still hurt and confused by the recent events of her life and is still acting out a bit. **Through the basemental mod she had a very short lived alcohol problem she developed by clubbing with neighbor Joaquin Le Chien.This affected her studies and inspired her to start working towards a better life and the future she had dreamed of before her untimely loss. She is good friends with Luna Villareal and they are currently experiencing some "confused feelings" for each other. Ultimately I plan to have her end up with Joaquin and living in the Jungle (I will use money cheats because of her inheritance plus she will collect and sell items etc. I will just continuously end the vacation until she grows old and returns to her home town to retire). Jayachandra is a slightly more serious woman who wants to find her true love and is a successful doctor. She is currently dating Sergio Romeo and very much in love, but due to his hatred of children she will ultimately make the difficult decision to end the relationship. I'm not sure where her story will go because I don't know who she'll meet and settle down with yet! I had soooooo much fun designing their modest junglesque but beautiful home, I'm new to posting and stuff so I need to figure out how, but I'll try to post some pictures! Love these girls <3
Land Lady Lucille-My most fun yet annoying build/living arrangement haha. I wanted to build a little community of row/town houses. I hadn't intended on playing with it due to it's layout, but a story popped into my head so I decided to give it a go. Maybe I'll make up a challenge of some sort surrounding town houses, because it is a bit difficult. Anyway, the land lady is an old cat lady named Lucille. Her adult (also successful doctor) daughter, Camila, lives next door. Camila decided to become a single mother and ended up with two twin (currently child) boys. She's a great cook and grandma handles the baking. I have a mod that allows more parenting interactions for grandparents and such, so Lucille helps out a lot! The third and final dwelling belongs to recently divorced Eric who works as a school teacher (a career I downloaded, sorry I'm such a mod head!). I had so much fun designing their homes and making them their own. Eric doesn't have much furniture yet, and has a few boxes and things lying around. The Challenge sets in when Camila decides to get food from her fridge, but to walk next door to her mothers to prepare it haha (everyone but Eric is locked out of his dwelling, and he is locked out of both of theirs). Being an instructor and a lover of children, Eric quickly bonds with the two boys. He never had children of his own due to the tumultuous nature of his previous marriage. Slowly he and Camila will form a romantic relationship, but it's too soon for Eric. I will deal with the challenges of playing in this town house layout until I feel its a good time for them to move out together. I enjoy this story but as far as game play goes, I'm having trouble deciding on some drama to throw into the mix and I fear it will grow stale. Any suggestions????
I have several more, but I'll stop for now haha XD Hope you guys enjoy!
