Hi everyone!I love seeing the Sim families others play with and read their stories. So I thought I'd open up a little thread in which we can share just that. :) I won't start sharing mine right away, would love to see yours first, so feel free to post pics and tell me your stories. :) Also, show off their homes if you like. :)Dakota :)

Not the best pictures of my main family, but showing a very important day for them: The son's first mermaid transformation that I had been looking for for rl months:https://64.media.tumblr.com/244fe6c79d0fd3e852988c3e2a6475fb/e7578326954101e1-79/s540x810/00d5fd26e3eb52841ad758137ffcd57d101682e3.pnghttps://64.media.tumblr.com/7950458ad25702553142f7ec01ffbbc0/e7578326954101e1-cf/s540x810/0a6db61b2a3e04d74f473ca0999fd338f02f1b7a.pngThe family consists of married couple Daniel and Gavin Reed (sitting on the pool's edge in the second pic), Daniel's daughter by alien abduction, Peggy, Gavin's son Jin with his former alibi girlfriend, Tina Chen, and Tina's boyfriend, Andre Egwu. Reed and Chen-Egwu are two different households, but I used to swap the kids back and forth, so that in practise they had four parents each. I also have Gavin's parents in my game, but only play them actively during holidays.Gavin, Daniel and Tina are in the detective career, Andre used to be a professional basketball player and is now a celebrity stylist. Of the children Jin wants to become a marine biologist, while Peggy aspires to become a detective like her dads. The parents strongly disagree with this plan, knowing the reality of cop life. But from what she showed me so far from her grades and practise training, Peggy will be real good at the job.At the moment Jin and Peggy share a dorm with three childhood friends. Jin is set up to inherit his uncle's mansion after college, not sure where Peggy will live after uni.As for Tina and Andre, I never planned to keep them together this long, seeing that Tina is a Loner. That's why she agreed to be Gavin's alibi GF in the first place: so people would stop pestering her about getting a significant other. In my first concept she'd get together with Andre only briefly to see whether she might be missing out, but then decide that coupled life isn't her thing. Well, it turned out they are working so well together, with Tina having lots of me-time when Andre does his celeb stuff, that I now ponder marrying them for real (and giving them a baby before Tina gets too old?).EDIT: Family treehttps://abload.de/img/a2hj1c.png

Awww, I love them and I really enjoyed reading their story. Thank you so much for sharing! What do you mean that you swapped the kids back and forth so that in practise they had four parents each? Sorry, English is not my first language, I simply don't understand, but I thought this was interesting. :)

No problem! What I did is this: Normally Jin lived with his mother and Andre, and Peggy with her dads. But often I went into Household Management and moved Jin to the Reeds, so he could spend time with his father. In turn Andre and Tina took Peggy in now and then. I think the closest comparison would be divorce children spending the weekend with the other parent?I could just have invited the children or used the club system, but I prefer fully controllable sims. All four adults were set as caregivers for both children (I had to re-set this a few times). I make believe the adults discussed their parenting goals and methods beforehand, so that there would be (almost) no conflicts.

I'd love to use the club system for grandchildren visiting their grandparents, but unfortunately, you can't add toddlers to clubs... :(

Since the story is rather lengthy I decided to hide it so that only those that want to read it can. Spoiler (Highlight to read) Emmitt O'Neal had his first alien encounter when he was abducted as a young man. He came back home and was traumatized from the encounter. He tried to move past it, but to his horror found out that he was pregnant! How could that be? He wasn't a female! Whatever the aliens had done to him had put a foreign being in his body and it disgusted him. Still he was raised to value all life, so to get it removed was not something he would do. He was terrified of what was inside of him, but he didn't have the courage to kill it. As it grew he felt panicked not knowing what it was. The day came and what was born was a baby. It resembled a human baby, but it had alien skin and features, After the baby was born he had a alien contact him through telepathy telling him that if he wished to send the baby back to the home world they would welcome it and raise it very well. Emmitt struggled inside himself. Would the baby be better off here where he could take care of it or back on its homeworld? Would the baby be ok being raised by aliens when the baby was half human? Then again how would people here treat his baby? The baby definitely looked all alien, but it was still part of him at least he felt so, because it grew in him. He knew he had a decision to make, but he couldn't at this moment. The alien assured him that he had time. He could keep the baby while he was still a baby, but once he aged into a toddler the offer would no longer be available. The alien also assured Emmitt that the baby would be well cared for. Emmitt was freaked out to say the least talking telepathically with the alien, but he managed to get his wits about him and asked if the baby would be loved. The alien said they had no use for emotions like that, but the baby would be raised well. Emmitt was torn. He promised to think about it. The alien said that if he wanted to give up the baby all he had to do was think of the alien's name he was talking to and he would respond.A month passed and Sonia as he had decided to call her was getting bigger and looked all alien. Emmitt had been hoping that some of his human dna would come out in the child, but that was not the case. He sighed. He had to admit the last month had been hard, but he had started to bond with Sonia and it was getting easier to take care of her. He had a problem though. He had to find a job because the money he had saved before Sonia was born was running out, and he knew he couldn't get a regular babysitter and he had no relatives. What was he to do? Emmitt contacted the alien and Emmitt explained his problem. The alien suggested that Emmitt find a companion to share his life with. Emmitt explained that the humans wouldn't understand him having an alien baby, so there was no one he could find like that. The alien told him something that surprised him. He told Emmitt that there were alien females and males in disguise living among them. That scared Emmitt a bit, wondering what their agenda could be. Were they going to take over the world eventually? As scared as he was the thought of having to give up Sonia in that instance was a decision he made. He knew he couldn't do it. The thought of losing Sonia was unthinkable. Now that he knew they could disguise themselves he felt that Sonia would have a chance, but he would have to keep her hidden until she was older. The alien said children of toddler age had the ability to disguise themselves at will to look completely human. So now Emmitt had no choice, and asked the alien if he knew of an alien woman who would be willing to be a caretaker to Sonia. The alien said he knew of one who would be willing, but she would not live with him unless they had a union. Emmitt did not like the thought of that at all. Could he marry an alien woman even if she could look like a human? What choice did he have? Ok. The alien said she would come in a few days. He thought that he would get along with her well. Her human name was Blair. A few days later Blair showed up, and in spite of the fact that he knew she would be in disguise he was surprised that she didn't look alien. He wondered what she looked like in her real form. Did she have 6 eyes and 5 hands? Did she have tentacles. A day later they went to the marriage venue and said their vows. He felt sad as this was a sham, and he never dreamed his wish to have kids and a wife would begin with an alien pregnancy and getting married to an alien woman if she was a woman that is. But Sonia was everything to him, and he couldn't give her up. He felt that over time maybe they could get to know each other, and even become friendly, but he would never be a husband to her in fact. He didn't care as long as she took care of Sonia and kept her human disguise on. The first year was hard, he couldn't warm up to Blair, but if he was honest he didn't try. Sonia though really seemed to have taken to Sonia. Blair on the other hand was enamored of Emmitt. She had seen his kindness, compassion and love for Sonia, and in spite of his aversion to her, she couldn't help falling for this handsome man. She wished with all her heart to be his partner in every way. When Sonia turned 1 Blair was playing with Sonia and gave her a gift. Emmitt saw the look in Blair's eyes for Sonia and realized she really did love Sonia. Maybe she wasn't so bad after all. After that Emmitt started seeing Blair in a different light. They even became friends over time. Then one fantastic unexpected night Emmitt and Blair became husband and wife in more than name. They couldn't have been happier. Soon Sonia had a sister. Then as Sonia grew more brothers and sisters came along. To Emmitt's surprise Blair more than a few times was taken by her people and came back with child. So he had about 4 step children. Blair told him that it was her responsibility to procreate full blooded alien children so her race would not die out. While they were not against half breeds, they didn't want the full blooded alien children to be taken over by the half bloods. The problem is though Blair would not send them to the home world and Emmitt was wondering if he in good conscience could let his kids who were full blooded aliens live among his neighbors. He knew that the aliens did live among them, but it was one thing for them to live on earth in obscurity without his knowledge, but to have a wife who is contributing full blooded aliens to spread among the neighbors when they grew up was another thing. True Blair and he have had kids, but all the kids they had were so far all human as they looked human and didn't have the power to change from alien to human and back. The step kids were alien obviously. The alien kids grew up faster than the humans and the step kids have given Blair and Emmitt grandkids. Tina all alien was married and she was the only step kid that had all alien babies 5 of them. Turns out that Tina's husband was all alien as well. Tina one day came to Emmitt and admitted it to him. He was shocked, but not surprised. Cheyanne who was half human, married a human and had 3 kids none who appeared to have alien dna. Mathias married a full human and had five kids only one who seems to have alien dna. Blair was now expecting their fourth child together. He had come to decide that he didn't care that his wife and kids had alien dna, but he had to tell the human kids that their mother was an alien. He felt being young that he couldn't risk telling the full human kids the truth, and he knew Blair had warned the alien kids not to let their siblings know as they wouldn't understand. Emmitt wrestled with when he should tell their kids born to Blair and him about their alien dna. While they were human in every respect, they might have alien dna and could have a child or children that were born alien and it would be important that they should know, to prepare their potential spouses and them to the possibility, and to make sure to tell their potential kids, to use their alien powers to disguise themselves around humans. Then again all their children born between Blair and him had not so far come out half human, so maybe he wouldn't have to tell them. I mean how would that conversation go? "Ummm children, I just want you to know that your mother is an alien from a planet called Sixam, and since you are her children, you might have alien children in your future? Oh and by the way your four grown siblings, your nieces and nephews are full blooded aliens and the rest while human like you, still have alien dna like you in them." Yeah, that would be mind bendingly difficult and awkward. Well he would decide and cross that bridge when he came to it. Blair was not happy that her alien children's true identity was being hidden from their half sisters and brothers, but she could understand the difficulties. Still it was a sore point between Emmitt and her, and led to frequent arguments. She agreed that they shouldn't be told now, but it seemed Emmitt didn't ever want to tell them and let the chips fall where they may.After their fifth child Lyndsay was born, Blair hired a nanny who it turned out was Vladislaus Stroud. It was rumored that he was a notorious master vampire, and boy he sure looked like he could be with that grayish skin and drawn death look about him. Still you can't believe everything you hear, and she knew being an alien in disguise that she would not want people to judge her if they knew the truth, so she decided to give him a chance. After time it appeared that Vlad as he asked to be called was very attentive and seemed to like all the kids not just little Lyndsay.Prior to hiring Vlad, they had a nanny named Chadwick Emery who ended up marrying their grown human daughter Maddison. What Emmitt and Blair didn't know, is that Chadwick only married Maddison to get in good with Madeline her sister, and because the O'Neals were rich and influential in town. Emmitt was against the marriage as he didn't like Chadwick, but it turns out Maddison was with child, and so he gave his grudging consent. After Chadwick married Maddison he went to work on Madeline. He could be very charming. He flattered her and gave her gifts on the sly. One day he won the prize he had been seeking. Madeline was his. They had to be very careful and Madeline felt so guilty and crummy, but she was in love with Chadwick and couldn't stay away from him. It wasn't long before Madeline was with child, and she knew she could never tell the truth, so she said it was a boy's at school. Blair and Emmitt were very disappointed with Madeline's throwing her life away like that, but they weren't thrilled by Maddison's marriage and pending mother hood being still a teenager either. This is not how they dreamed their children's life would go. At least all the full blooded alien children were graduated, married with homes of their own. Why their human kids were failing so miserably was puzzling.In spite of the glitches in Madeline and Maddison's lives, the other children Loren, Janice and little Lyndsay who just became a toddler were getting along fine. Blair thought maybe everything would turn out ok, now that Madeline and Maddison had given birth, but she was dissatisfied with how life seemed to be going in her personal life. She and Emmitt were still arguing about telling the children, but it was less, so that was good, but he dropped a bombshell on her. He told her that he wanted no more children. With Maddison and Madeline bringing babies into the house, he was ready to be just a grandfather. Blair was disappointed. She was still young and wanted more kids. Five with Emmitt was not enough, and strangely she had not been abducted in a while. She loved being pregnant and raising kids. Lyndsay was the only child that still needed her. The rest were almost full grown young adults. Blair still loved Emmitt and all, but thought he was being unfair and she felt resentful. Vlad was still coming daily to take care of Lyndsay and they would keep him on for the coming grandkids. He was a whiz with the children and Blair really liked him. He was always very kind to Blair and everyone. She liked how good he was with the kids. She started talking with him. She wanted to find out more about him. She was curious about his background and if he was a vampire. Vlad was flattered by her attention. Usually people left him alone as his looks were off putting to put it mildly. They became good friends, and while he really genuinely liked Lyndsay and the rest of the household were nice to him, they looked on him as an employee, he started to have feelings for Blair. She was so kind to him. One day the relationship went from friendly to the next level. He couldn't hide his feelings for her anymore, and he made the move on Blair and to his never ending surprise she allowed him. They couldn't be so bold as to do it in a bed, so they both sneaked into the bathroom and did the deed in the shower. Blair was just as shocked as Vlad. She never dreamed she could be that way with this man, but it happened. She still loved Emmitt. She had never dreamed she could be unfaithful, but it happened, and she couldn't take it back. She wasn't sure how she felt about Vlad. She could be with Vlad with no judgment or trouble, like she had with Emmitt. Still to break her vows was not something she had ever done. Vlad told her he loved her, and that he didn't expect her to leave Emmitt. He said he wanted to be her lover. She told him she had to think about it. She thought maybe it would involve too many complications to be his lover on a regular basis, but if he would give her children she might be willing to risk it. She would first try with Emmitt again and if he said no, then she would be Vlad's lover but just for the children he could give her. A month later with no signs of Emmitt giving in about having more kids, Blair finally decided that she would risk having a relationship with Vlad She found out to her surprise before she could tell Vlad what she decided that she was pregnant again! There was no doubt who the father was, and she only hoped that the baby would look like her. Even if the baby turned out to look like Vlad she would have justification because Emmitt refused to give her more kids. So it would be his fault! She told Vlad, and Vlad couldn't have been more pleased. Turns out that Blair was not only pregnant, but was carrying twins. So double trouble. Well although she was worried, she wasn't sorry. She was having more children and if Emmitt thought that he accidentally got her pregnant so much the better. As if things couldn't get worse it turns out Madeline was pregnant again, this time her mother would be shocked to know that the father was not a boy at school, nor Chadwick (not that Blair suspected Chadwick was the father of her newly born children), but the father was of all people VLAD!What will the future hold? Only Blair knows. The Vlad/Blair affair was not my doing. I was playing Emmitt and I saw steam and hearts coming out of the shower, and so I swerved the camera over and who comes out of the shower? Blair and Vlad lol. She was pregnant after that. Then I noticed that Madeline was pregnant again. When she gave birth I went into the family tree to see who the father was and I was expecting it to be Chadwick, but nope it was Vlad lol. Didn't see them woo hoo, so didn't see that coming either lol Emmitt O'Neal had his first alien encounter when he was abducted as a young man. He came back home and was traumatized from the encounter. He tried to move past it, but to his horror found out that he was pregnant! How could that be? He wasn't a female! Whatever the aliens had done to him had put a foreign being in his body and it disgusted him. Still he was raised to value all life, so to get it removed was not something he would do.

Even if the baby turned out to look like Vlad she would have justification because Emmitt refused to give her more kids. So it would be his fault! She told Vlad, and Vlad couldn't have been more pleased. Turns out that Blair was not only pregnant, but was carrying twins. So double trouble. Well although she was worried, she wasn't sorry. She was having more children and if Emmitt thought that he accidentally got her pregnant so much the better. As if things couldn't get worse it turns out Madeline was pregnant again, this time her mother would be shocked to know that the father was not a boy at school, nor Chadwick (not that Blair suspected Chadwick was the father of her newly born children), but the father was of all people VLAD!What will the future hold? Only Blair knows. The Vlad/Blair affair was not my doing. I was playing Emmitt and I saw steam and hearts coming out of the shower, and so I swerved the camera over and who comes out of the shower? Blair and Vlad lol. She was pregnant after that. Then I noticed that Madeline was pregnant again. When she gave birth I went into the family tree to see who the father was and I was expecting it to be Chadwick, but nope it was Vlad lol. Didn't see them woo hoo, so didn't see that coming either lol

The Gen 2 heir with his little nephew! He doesn't have kids of his own yet but I'm sure his sister's kids are giving him some serious baby fever. It doesn't help that he's also family-oriented.

I just love your gorgeous sims. I think they need to have lots of kids with those genetics lol. I hope that the Gen 2 heir will find a soul mate and have kids of his own soon.

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.

Liberty has maxxed her logic skill, and a scientist career would let her actually use it. With three incomes in the family now, they are out of dire poverty and into the middle class. Some drapes, rugs and lighting can really make a difference in the appearance of the place, so the family is starting to do some decorating. (yes, I know, pics) Her children have now bought her the telescope they promised, although I think she really wants the microscope. She hasn't gone out to do much collecting yet, but she has started jogging.

Xzavier is finding upper management as a Tech Guru harder than he thought. He hasn't used his accumulated vacation time, and has been working hard, not smart, (not taking advantage of stacked Focus boosts).

Hibbert is rising fast as an artist. He isn't creating masterpieces yet, but he will be soon, and his mother wants him to keep a few rather than sell them all.

Elora has been thinking of throwing a party and inviting some potential girlfriends for her brothers, but so far it's just a thought. When she went to start her club and start inviting members, she found that all her acquaintances were adults and she had none her own age. With the family focus on education, she's been a top student and concentrated on maintaining her top grades, not socializing at school, and she hasn't used her vacation time, either. All work and no play makes Jack a dull Sim? Going out to bars doesn't work so well for teens as it does for adults. The library or the park might work to find her some.

it still feels too cramped for much socializing.

Why does Liberty feel like she has to be in the culinary career if she feels underemployed? Oh dear I hope releasing his ghost (I know how annoying they can be) won't affect Elora. Well Xzavier can work and pursue his goal as a renaissance sim.

Has Hibbert made any progress in socializing?

Looks like the whole family has talent and creativeness. I have no doubt Elora will succeed in her aspiration.

At the time Liberty made her decision, the family was just barely getting out of poverty and Cooking was her best skill besides Logic and Handyman. Playing chess isn't a (Sim) profession, and scientific equipment was out of their budget. She had been supplementing the family income with the meager sales from her woodworking creations for some time, and wanted to give that a rest. Xzavier has been head down in computers and being the responsible breadwinner, and Hibbert, artistic genius though he may be, hasn't looked up from his easel and discovered girls yet. Elora is getting quite irritated with her brothers about it. She is doing fine without her father's ghost; it's just not quite the same as having a living father.

Poor Liberty seems so unhappy. I think if being a scientist is what she wants, she should do it. Such a hard life Liberty has. I am glad she has the kids to help her cope.

Lol well it seems when parents are overweight kids get the same malady. Not always of course. If they want to lose weight, exercising is important of course, but cutting the calories is important too. Liberty being so good at cooking can make healthier lower cal dishes which should help.

If Xzavier is doing well in his career and is happy, I would say take your time Xzavier and enjoy life. It is all too short, so might as well love what you do.

Elora should start a club. If being at school she still feels restricted socially, I fear a job might not help as much as a club. Good for Liberty in showing common sense and not letting Elora do too much which could hurt her education.

Liberty actually is happy most of the time. She's very hard working, and gets her satisfaction from that, although I think she's taken her last Elixir of Youth. She wants to retire and enjoy her grandchildren, provided she can persuade her sons to start dating and get married. Elora doesn't need persuading. In spite of her being still too young, she's already on the job.
Liberty hasn't had the ingredients to make the very best dishes. She thought they were too expensive without a garden or going fishing. (Why doesn't Sims4 have a grocery store? I suppose I could get a Sim to start one, but not this family.) Cooking was a necessity, not an art.

In an alternate universe (old save), Martin Elcone did not die in a fire, but survives to old age. This is the best I can do.

Lol no wonder they are roommates. It looks like they both have a common interest in knitting. Great pick and family.

Why does she want the microscope instead?

Nothing wrong with hard work, but yeah he should take some time to relax and I hope he will soon.

Of course you have to keep a few of the pictures. We all need to appreciate our art, and display some of it.

Oh oh therein lies the draw back on not socializing at school, because of the high grades. It is nice to have A's though, but a balance of both studying and socializing would be better. I can see why she isn't exactly happy at home lol.
