Dillon Gates left home as a teen with what was in his personal inventory. He had also received birthday gifts of an enigma dresser ($410), and a packet of starter seeds. He arrived in Windenburg with 0 simoleons in the Fall, and lived on the (bulldozed) Havisham House empty lot in the Olde Platz neighborhood. He has the Loves Outdoors and Dance Machine traits and Leader of the Pack for his Aspiration. As a child, he completed the Artistic Prodigy and Whiz Kid Aspirations. He likes video gaming, comedy and mischief, is a B student and will go to school alone. The Maxis premade sims from the Get Together trailer "Come to Windenburg", the Get to Work trailer, and the other packs for Gen. 2 have been downloaded into the world.

It was fall, and almost as soon as he arrived, he planted the starter herb seeds that he had in his inventory (sage & basil) Luckily, they were in season. He sold his grade school homework book and had $1 simoleon to his name. After the first harvest, he bought a "Gift of Fire" ($95 simoleons), and formed a teen club called the Windenburg Hotties, made up of sims who lived in Windenburg. He also sold some old school projects and bought a cooler. The club sure helped when he had a project to do and he was soon an A student.

The club frequented The Narwhal Arms, and Dillon sang for tips. He also continued to garden, fish and collect items around the neighborhood.

With the funds he earned, Dillon bought a DJ booth ($575 simoleons), and joined the Spin Masters Club and started to DJ. He made quite a few tips DJ'ing at Discotheque Pan Europa and started building his home.

It was now winter, and Dillon was getting popular and had crushes on 3 sims, Sofia Bjergsen, Luna Villareal and Morgan Fyres, who were all part of his club. He went on a date with each one to see who he would want to be his girlfriend. Well, it turned out that Morgan Fyres decided that Dillon was the one for her and wanted to bring things to the next level and asked him to be her boyfriend. On his YA birthday, he and Morgan tried for a baby in the downstairs closet at Discoteque Pan Europa, and she was suddenly expecting.

Dillon and Morgan moved in together and didn't have a lot of simoleons. They rented a cabin in Granite Falls and wearing their prom clothes, eloped together. It was an exciting wedding as Morgan almost froze to death and they saw a bear!

Soon afterwards, Morgan gave birth to twin girls, Brandi and Delilah Gates. And one night Dillon got abducted by aliens...and that is how their third child, a little alien girl was born. They named her Nova.

Dillon continued his career as a Professional DJ, earning tips and creating and selling mix tapes. (Note: It takes 8 hours to create a mix tape & when you sell it, you get royalties. Only 1 can be sold per week). Morgan got a job in the Business career, and took up baking as a hobby. She enjoyed baking so much that she also started an at-home business selling baked goods to local bakeries. (Note: You can do this with the cupcake machine).

Nova had another birthday and was now a child. Her alien mother, Senior Pollination Technician # 3, sent her a gift.

Brandi and Delilah aged up to teens the very next day. Brandi had received an internship from a high school in San Myshuno to work with elected representatives while learning more about government and politics. It was a very esteemed invitation, and after discussing it, Dillon and Morgan agreed and found a reasonably-priced apartment for Brandi to rent. Delilah and Nova stayed home.

Dillon Gates, Generation 2 Stats:
https://i.postimg.cc/prz5zFhq/01-25-23-5-48-14-PM.png
Aspiration Completed: Leader of the Pack
Hobby: Dancing - Level 5; DJ Mixing - Level 10.
Career: Dillon became a Headliner DJ, and registered with the Ministry of Labor as a Professional DJ. He created dance mix tapes and licensed them and received royalties. He also earned lots of tips as the resident DJ at The Narwhal Arms.
Dream Home: When Brandi and Delilah became teens, Dillon wanted a quieter life, and moved the family to Pier Palace on The Crumbling Isle in Windenburg. The island reminded him of his trip to Granite Falls. They renovated the house, and put in a hot tub and refurbished the master bathroom into a soothing spa oasis. They also placed some yoga mats on the front deck. They remodeled the kitchen, which included an ice cream bar and an area for Morgan's bakery business. The living room, was also remodeled to reflect a more rustic Granite Falls vibe. For those at-home parties, Dillon created a spooky party area with a buffet table, drink fountain, DJ booth and a light-up dance floor.
Note: Their house on the Havisham House lot was too small for all the items needed from the various packs for the Dream Home, so they moved. Morgan's bakery business is technically not a "retail" business, as it would have to be on a separate lot, however, signage is used from the Get to Work pack.
