I created a household for StrangerVille. A geeky guy who lives with his best friend and best friend's sister. The geeky guy is the one who is about to finish the affliction storyline. But I am intrigued by the Roswells. I'm thinking deserting my original household for the Roswells! MCCC just notified me that Meredith is pregnant. What to do What to do. This is HUGE for me because I rarely play with the EA households.
Oh ok, thank you! I don't use mods so I wasn't familiar with that functionality. Well, at least I know nothing unfortunate happened to her. Thank you @citysimmer and @aaronrulz !
I’m not actively playing them, but they are good friends with the couple I’m playing. MCCC gave them a Son in my game, he just became a toddler and is rather cute.
Roswell might try to start a fridge business... After all the fridges confiscated in the town... Might be his duty as a mayor... And a way to refurnish his home...
I am playing them a bit in my new game. I have my base journalist sim who is the one with the aspiration, but I also have a new military sim moved in with her younger teenage brother she is the caretaker of who shall provide some interesting aspects.... BUT. The Roswells are gonna be a PLOT POINT.
Basically, with their personalities, my idea is that Mrs. Roswell, between going broke, her husband being infected, and seeing his moodswings in between is starting to have some uh... let us say DOUBTS about their marriage, but is trying so HARD to be a Good Wife. She did secretly get a job to pay some of the smaller bills on the sly, but is shaken.
I do plan to get her accidentally knocked up (after YEARS of trying too!), and then when she stumbles on the evidence stash she manages to sneak some evidence out; although Ted catches her downstairs and they have a loud, screaming fight with Ted truly frightening her. This is the beginning of the end of their marriage, and she takes the evidence to the lead scientist that has been coordinating with the Roswells and the site and demands answers.
Long story short (because literally I would have to get into what's going on in the ENTIRE neighborhood with plans at this point), but she and the scientist will fall in love, Ted will get eaten by the Mother (after the mother is killed and resurrected), and Mrs. Roswell will start the drive to become the new Mayor of Roswell.
Fast forward even MORE, because I am slightly erratic and have a ten year plan here, and she will have another child with the Scientist after she marries him, be a well respected Mayor who has brought the town to a new era of prosperity, and be one of the first political figures to sit down and talk politics with an alien delegation.
*jazzhands*
And that is gonna be MY game with the Roswells. I'm going to get her a new hairstyle and make up look soon. But yeah premade households can be incredibly fun. I usually do a mix of original characters and premades.
The only character I DON'T have a plan for right now in Strangerville is Cahill.
@RobinGreenthumb I love your plan! I love playing a mix of premades and original sims as well! Ted can have intense swings of emotions, lol. Meredith is quite a patient wife! I made a thread about the Cahill guy. I see him as a sort of Rambo.
@kalaksed Love your study and bunker! I may expand mine as well as he becomes more and more paranoid!
I haven't really played them extensively but I dropped in on them long enough to make Ted an Elder Statesperson and make Meredith a "Politician's Wife" via the self-employment tag. I figure she's loyal and will stand by him while he gets caught up in self-inflicted scandals (at least for a while...)
I also downloaded the Mayor's House for them to live in (by @Dannydanbo ) and gave them a teenage son and daughter. The son, Kevin, is a budding artist and the daughter, Melody, is a self-absorbed party girl.
After I marked them unplayed MCCC gave Melody a baby boy, bringing great embarrassment on the Mayor's family (at least from Ted and Meredith's perspective - the rest of the town has other things to worry about).
