Hello everyone! I've thought about making a story thread for my sim family for a long time, and I'm finally doing it. I hope you'll like it!This is Albert.http://i.imgur.com/y2lZHf8.pngYou met him at a very dramatic time, witnessing the death of his grandmother (poor thing doesn't quite understand what's going on). But that's life - generations come and go. Albert is currently the newest addition to his family, and his grandmother was the oldest. I've been playing the same family line of sims since I got TS4. That's my style of play, I never abandon the legacy of my original sims. In this iteration, my original sims were these two:http://i.imgur.com/4e3o5dd.pngTheir names were Siren and Runar Selnes.Since then, 11 generations have past. Yes, you read that right. Eleven. So obviously I won't go through all of them, I will focus on my current sims. But I might do some throwbacks from time to time.You will be introduced to three households, all descendants of the original Selnes family (only one still has the original name):1. The Kalani branch2. The Justøy branch3. The Selnes branch

The Kalani branchNow, back to Albert. He's part of the Kalani branch. You might recognize the name, and you're right: Albert is Mitchell Kalani's great-great-grandson. Mitchell's daughter married Albert's great grandfather a long time ago.This is Albert eating breakfast with his parents, Nita Kalani and Mahatma Yamamoto. You'll soon get to know them better.http://i.imgur.com/CPqb3BE.pngThey live together with Albert's teen cousins, the identical twins Jenna and Karla Mai.http://i.imgur.com/661kbVU.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/O5GOXDS.pngJenna adores Albert and babysits him whenever she has the chance.http://i.imgur.com/N3Z20PO.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/F8WpwhB.pngThe teens live with their aunt and uncle because their mother is working elsewhere as a secret agent, and their father is dead. But they see their mom whenever they can. They a very social and have a lot of friends who they hang out with often, but none of them has met a potential partner yet.http://i.imgur.com/waRU43D.png

Thank you @soccer_emmy!It's time to introduce Albert's parents! They have been a couple since they were teenagers.http://i.imgur.com/Qi1jCaY.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/y5VXB6d.pngNita works as a journalist now, and Mahatma is a musician specializing in piano.Here is a picture of their engagement, and a couple from their wedding.http://i.imgur.com/vBj3Mp6.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/0gPLQHG.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/A3JOsD5.pngThe Kalani family lives in Oasis Springs at the moment, but they are moving to a new home in Willow Creek very soon. You'll get a house tour once I have introduced the two other families.

The Justøy branchOur main character in this family is Vetle Justøy. http://i.imgur.com/oZBYgol.pngHe's currently the only family member.Here's his story:Vetle grew up in a tough neighborhood in San Myshuno. His mother was an environmental activist, working all the time. His father was an unsuccessful comedian. He had a twin sister named Sina, who he was very close to.http://i.imgur.com/c9aMZv4.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/duMY8Ho.pngThey were a happy family for a long time, but it got harder and harder for them to keep it together. Vetle and Sina were mostly left on their own as they grew older, and Vetle was the kind of kid who easily got into trouble.http://i.imgur.com/TY7W1dF.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/lMzubv0.pngThings got really bad when Sina was taken away by child services because she failed in school. Vetle just managed to escape that.But his troubles continued into his teenage years, now with the loss of his sister on top of everything. It all escalated when he lit some fireworks inside their apartment, and tragedy occurred.http://i.imgur.com/r6iW5q3.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/AU0CopA.pngThe fire killed his mother, and Vetle was left alone with his old dad.They realized they needed to get away and start a new life somewhere, so they bought a little cabin on Windenburg Island.http://i.imgur.com/MOmHRKJ.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/dNuTkA4.pngThis meant they were now living close to one of Vetle's best friends, Mariana Montgomery.Unfortunately, Vetle's father didn't have a lot of time left. So by the time Vetle became a young adult, he was left completely to himself.Now he makes a living out of selling things he has stolen. http://i.imgur.com/dYR1AyO.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/5wDY5O8.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/MkEBlOT.pngHe still owns the San Myshuno apartment, but rarely goes there. He has been back and raided it for furniture and other things to sell, though.

The Selnes branchAnd now, to the family who has kept the legacy name through all 11 generations. They are currently a family of 4 who has a penthouse home in San Myshuno.http://i.imgur.com/H4NBWNf.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/0ZBdnAg.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/Z0KsO3u.png(This is originally a build by the amazing Devon Bumpkin)These are the parents, Lennart and Tameka.http://i.imgur.com/PfXtYlx.pngLennart is a doctor, and Tameka is a celebrity chef.And these are their two children, Tara and Birk.http://i.imgur.com/ic9Ix8K.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/v7otNbU.pngTara is the one we'll be following the closest. Here she is eating sushi with her grandfather, back when he was still alive.And I simply have to show you a picture of her as a toddler.http://i.imgur.com/FYomw9w.pngShe was the cutest thing! I can't believe she's all grown up now and soon ready to be a young adult.Family dinner in the penthouse kitchen.http://i.imgur.com/qnVVFhC.pngSo, now you've met the entire family. The main characters are Albert (currently toddler), Vetle (YA) and Tara (teen). I hope you'll enjoy the updates I'll be posting on their lives :)

Vetle JustøyA day in his life: Vetle woke up earlier than usual this morning. Being a criminal, he usually works during the night and sleeps until almost noon. But today he got up at 9 am and started the day with a some boxing. http://i.imgur.com/19klpSe.pngHe then started up his daytime (not less shady) business, which is going extremely well. He makes thousands of simoleons by selling stolen goods and furniture from the family apartment.http://i.imgur.com/kzhsJbR.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/w8FyDf5.pngIn the afternoon, he met up with his best friend Mariana for some bowling in Oasis Springs.http://i.imgur.com/CHpsyj7.pngThen, some food at the food truck next door.http://i.imgur.com/DhANxhP.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/CtnkCHF.pngVetle has been in love with Mariana for a long time, and she's aware of it. They are good friends, but she refuses anything romantic. She knows all about him. He's not only a criminal, he also has a problem with being faithful.Then Vetle headed out to work with his gang of criminals at 8 pm. He knows he has to change his life around quite a bit if he is to get Mariana, but he's convinced that she actually loves him.

Aaah I love Jenna's sass!
http://i.imgur.com/LhPbbzX.png

She and her sister has joined a bowling club, and met some interesting boys there. Karla Mai has been talking a lot to Bryan Pancakes, an artsy and down to earth dude who is very much her type.

And Jenna has taken an interest in an athletic guy from Oasis Springs, Casper Iota.

It's time for Albert to age up! Daddy's boy is about to start school, it's incredible how time flies.
http://i.imgur.com/9sIDR5K.png
http://i.imgur.com/tctySVy.png
They decided to celebrate at the bowling alley with the closest family. I'm so excited to see what he looks like as a child!

And here he is! Still a cutie.

He's a little slob, but very motivated for school. He likes drawing and other creative activities, so of course his musician dad is going to teach him some instruments.

The Selnes branch

There was a birthday party at the penthouse recently. Little brother Birk turned into a teenager.
http://i.imgur.com/5zQDnu8.png
http://i.imgur.com/BS1m1m9.png
It was a nice party with lots of family and friends, and Birk was very happy with his celebration.

So now there are two teenagers in the house.
http://i.imgur.com/jE628F4.png
Not for very long though, as Tara is almost done with high school.

This is Tara's girlfriend, Sara. (Yes, I know. Tara and Sara. Sounds like a comedy show. But they fell in love, ok?!)
http://i.imgur.com/Xo9myEv.png
http://i.imgur.com/IRrU3HN.png
Sara is her second girlfriend, and they haven't been dating for very long. But Sara is basically part of the family already.

Sara came over one night in a miserable state. She was very sad about something, but Tara couldn't figure out why. She tried cheering her up with some relaxing bubbles, but Sara wasn't easy to console.
http://i.imgur.com/RFyKgW0.png
http://i.imgur.com/Rwm1rnn.png
Truth be told, Tara can be a bit insensitive. She has the mean trait, and I have to admit she isn't always the perfect girlfriend.

She didn't find the right things to say at all, Sara just became more and more unhappy.
http://i.imgur.com/h3NF5G0.png

http://i.imgur.com/0hNnUiB.png

Tara had hoped that her girlfriend might stay the night, but the evening ended with Sara leaving in an even worse mood than she showed up in.
http://i.imgur.com/ZywNymK.png
So I guess they aren't in the best place right now, but I'm sure they'll figure it out somehow.

Birk brought a new friend home from school, Kimi Greenwood. Tara enjoyed meeting her.

The three of them spent the afternoon playing video games and having a fun time.

The two siblings have a lot of mutual friends now, and go to many of the same parties and such. This is from a meetup at the old ruins, where Sara also showed up in a considerable better mood than last time.

http://i.imgur.com/jwTS7aJ.png
But Tara couldn't quite let go of the feeling that something was not right, that Sara wasn't entirely happy in their relationship.

Tara hasn't seen much of Sara lately, but she's been spending a lot of time with her brother's classmate Kimi.
http://i.imgur.com/GRenHDo.png
http://i.imgur.com/qs1orE4.png
They have a lot in common, and can talk about pretty much everything. Kimi is artistic and active, she wants to be a painter and teach yoga when she's done with school.

Tara went for a walk with Kimi in the Meadows one evening. They were having great fun and feeling the chemistry more than ever.
http://i.imgur.com/53yysYE.png
http://i.imgur.com/mPUwL3j.png
And suddenly, Tara didn't doubt her feelings any longer.

And then it happened.
http://i.imgur.com/orRcc5I.png

They realized it was a bit risky to be making out in public, so they ran over to the observatory to get some privacy.
http://i.imgur.com/SSVHkP5.png
http://i.imgur.com/C0kRK0O.png
No one will see us here.

There is no turning back now, I think.

Throwback to: When Tara's parents were young, newly engaged and brought Tara into the world.

Lennart was just an assistant nurse back then.
http://i.imgur.com/8s92SBH.png

He loved Tameka very much, and finally worked up the courage to ask her the big question.
http://i.imgur.com/DYuzIvS.png
http://i.imgur.com/cf0W7j4.png
Lucky for him, she said yes.

Not long after that: boom. Tara in the works.

Grandmother Penny loved looking after the wonderful little girl.
