The family I have been playing longest is the family of Martin Elcone, who married Liberty Lee. Martin died, (I believe in a kitchen fire) leaving Liberty as the widowed mother of three children. Martin remains as a ghost, although he has less and less interaction with his widow and children.
Liberty had quit her job in the Astronaut program to be a full-time caretaker, and did not return to the work force, but spent most of her time and income raising the children. She supplemented the family income, mostly with woodworking. She spent most of their savings remodeling their Streamlet Single house and the family finances have remained barely adequate. Now that children are older, Liberty has recently attempted self employment as a programmer, but her first gig has not gone well and she is contemplating a return to the full time work force in order to pursue her lifetime ambition as a Renaissance Sim. She has not been physically active and has gained a great deal of weight. She has recently used an Elixir of youth to prevent aging into the elder age group.
Their eldest, who bears the unlikely name of Xzavier Elcone, was initially in the medical career and was just old enough to become the primary breadwinner for the family when his his father died. He has quit that career and begun work as a Code Monkey. He has enough experience that he expects to rise quickly, although since he actually has more experience with Video Gaming, he nay not rise as quickly as he thinks he will. He has so far not been much interested in dating and establishing his own family, although his mother wishes he would start.
The second son, Hibbert Elcone, developed an interest in art. He is still in High School, but as an artistic genius already has substantial skill as a painter. His development has been rather one dimensional and has mostly excluded social development, but he now is trying to broaden his interests.
Their youngest, a daughter named Elora Elcone, is by far the most social of the family and is still in grade school. She was only a baby when her father died but is on good terms with his ghost. She has been feeling confined in her interactions with the family, which is active and busy in spite of their comparative poverty, and wants to get out and socialize more.
No pics yet (I haven't quite figured out how to get them out).
I love those names. They are so unique. Wow this family has had some tragedy losing their father, mother having to raise the kiddos on her own. I know what a struggle it was, but it sounds like she did a good job. I think she should pursue her programming. One not so good gig is not a reason to rethink a career. I think she could be a success and that would make her still available for her kids. They are older, but they still need their mother lol.
Oh dear. I hope that Xzavier will do well in his chosen profession. Yeah being good at video games doesn't make you a coding genius lol.
I hope that Hibbert can find some friends and will be a successful artist.
Poor Elora losing her father at such a tender age, but only in the sims can they still have a relationship with the ghost lol. Why can't Elora get out and socialize more? Doesn't she socialize at school? I hope she can find a way as kids need companionship.
