Silver Variety Stories

Good Evening rosemow​ , Simslover163​, lisabeesims​ and to any who stop by for a visit.  

Hope you're having a wonderful evening.  Tonight I am introducing another "Orphan Sim' household and his story and recent candid photos of each family member as a means of introducing them and their personalities.  Here we go.

MATHEW’S NEW FAMILY

 Mathew was just a young infant when his single father suffered a tragic accident and passed away due the severity of his injuries. The social worker who was assigned to search for relatives who might be willing to take care of him.  Fortunately, they found, Bria Castle who was a sister to Mathew’s father, was located living in tropical islands of  Sunlit Tides with her partner, Felix Patton and the son they had together, Vikram.  When she was notified of her brother's sudden death, she was more than willing to adopt her nephew.  Since Felix had recently been hired as Conservationist in beach community of Sulani, Mathew’s new family decided to move there and had a nice beach house built that also had lots of space for the pets Bira adopted over the years since moving to Sulani.

Although they are romantic partners, Bria and Felix have had a rocky relationship due to Felix’s busy career that kept them from giving each other the love and support that is needed to keep a relationship.  After Mathew joined the family, Felix and Bria had worked on their  relationship and had gotten to the point where they decided to get married.  Over the years things went south, and they divorced but for the sake of their children decided to continue living together. Since then,  Felix and Bria have decided to work on their relationship, and they have slowly renewed their love for each other.  Other members of the family include Bria's three cats and her dog.  Will introduce them more next time as I forgot to take photos of them.

Here are some candid photos of the family.

Meet Mathew who has recently started school. He was both a 'Top Notch' infant and toddler who maxed all of his toddler skills before his birthday.. He is always cheerful and wants to make many friends by becoming a 'Social Butterfly'. This shouldn't be a problem for Mathew since he loves to talk to everyone he meets. He loves the colors of Brown, Purple, Gray, Pink, Black and is showing an interest in fitness. Mathew is also best friends with his older brother, Vikram.

Meet Mathew's Aunt Bria and now his adoptive mother, Bria Castle, who in this candid shot is enjoying the music playing from the family room stereo. After many years of living near the ocean in Sunlit Tides with her partner, Felix Patton and now on a private island in Sulani, Bria considers herself a 'Child of the Ocean' as does Felix who grew up on a tropical island. She is also an 'Animal Enthusiast at heart and wants to befriend as many cats and dogs as possible by becoming 'Friend of the Animals'. It is probably due to her 'jealous' tendencies that Bria's romantic relationship with Felix is always running either hot or cold which has put a strain on their family. She hopes to work through these insecure feelings by talking them out with Felix and hopes to be able to fully trust him someday enough to renew their vows with each other.

Bria has been a 'Stay-at-Home-Mom' to both Mathew and Vikram while they were growing up but has recently accepted a position in the Painter career now that Mathew is in grade school while Vikram just had his first day of high school. In her spare time, Bria loves to gardening and cook while also caring for the needs of the three cats she adopted from the local shelter whose names are Precious, Asparagus' and Bo. The family also adopted an Akita/Poodle cross dog named, Tasha. Due to living on a private island in Sulani, Bria purchased a vet table and surgery station so that she could learn the veterinary skill and treat any illnesses her pets come with from home.

Here Bria is examining one of her pets for the first time. Poor Asparagus had 'sizzle paws'.

Here Bria is taking care of the fleas that were having a party in Tasha's fur and making the poor dog miserable.

Meet Felix who is fixing the dryer so that the clothes that are inside will dry. Besides being a 'Child of the Ocean', Felix's 'materialistic' ways causes him to buy new for his home from time to time. Being a 'loner', he also likes to spend time alone especially by sunbathing in the sun on a beach towel. His lifetime aspiration is to enjoy all there is to enjoy about 'Beach Life' and works to keep the oceans clean in his 'Conservationist' career.

Here is Mathew getting his new clothes for school.

For 'Talk Like a Pirate' day, Mathew & Vikram went to the Oasis Springs park to meet new friends using the pirate greeting, 'Ahoy Matey'. and share some 'Yarns' with them.

Here's a close up of Vikram getting all decked out for high school. Vikram is all for the environment by being a 'Green Fiend' and is also 'Romantically Reserved' but is keeping an eye open for his future soulmate. As a child, Vikram completed one of aspirations by becoming a 'Rambunctious' Scamp and hopes to an 'Admired Icon in high school and seems to be off to a good start as he is already becoming quite popular in his class. His favorite colors are blue, green, black, gray and white. As for decor, Vikram is not too fussy but is partial to the Basics, Island, Suburban, Mission, Mid Century, Vintage, Shotgun, Holidays, Queen Anne, and Boho styles,

Vikram arriving for his first day at Copperdale High.. Although the weather wasn't so hot with heavy rains, he had a great day making new friends .

 That's all for now.  Mathew and Vikram hope that you've all enjoyed meeting their family.  Until next time they bid you farewell in pirate style, 'Ahoy Matey, Until we meet again!'.
