Tell me about your favourite Sim.

This is an easy survey for me. Erik James Cantrell is a Musical Genius. He's as charming as they come. He's humble, witty and engaging. He's friendly and kind to both the Paparazzi who haunt him, as well as his fans, often giving his autograph and/or taking a Selfie with a fan. He has genuine compassion for his Obsessed Fans. (One just froze to death before Erik got home. The Sim was outside of Erik's back fence, fully clothed for a change, yet, still he froze. Turned into a block of ice. :open_mouth: ) He's also a Sim of religious conviction. He attends church weekly, and comports himself as best he can guided by his convictions. He's never outright mean to even the most annoying Sim. Sometimes, he may sigh, but he's very friendly and loving in nature.

I) What do they for a career?
Erik has mastered the violin, the guitar, the piano, and so therefore the Digi-organ. He writes songs, plays concerts, sits for photoshoots, has been known to give spur-of-the-moment interviews. He is the King of Rock, currently.

II) How many members in their family: both immediate household and extended.
Erik grew up in an intact home with loving parents, who nurtured each one of their children's gifts. Erik is the second of four sons. There is one girl in the family. They lived on the planet Vulcan for many years. In fact, Erik was born in space. Read any census record and in the column place of birth it says born in Space. Erik is now married with four Toddlers and another baby on the way. His older and next younger brothers are also married. His only sister is married, and is the mother of three children at this time. Twin boys and a baby girl. Erik's inlaws are still alive and he has four sisters-in-law. Kayleigh, his wife is one of identical triplets. The Golden Trips have two younger sisters. Erik's first sister-in-law also has two siblings, plus her parents are still alive. Currently, his next younger brother and wife, have no children. Give them a minute, they only just got married. :joy: Grand total: Immediate- 6; Extended-15, counting his sisters' still living inlaws.

III) Where do they live? Tell me a little about their house there.
When the Cantrell family first returned to planet Earth, they took up residence in the 'family home' in Del Sol Valley, once owned by Erik's great-grand uncle. It is affectionately called the Cantrell House by the local community. This antique abode is situated on the top of the hill in that city. The family also inherited Simoleons from the old, odd eccentric Sim. The house is primarily a log cabin, but has been renovated and is nicely appointed without losing the house of 'long ago' feel to it. The area that would have been changed to a garage, has instead been turned into a Green House, of sorts. I told you Uncle Joseph was odd. ;) Large, there are several rooms; a formal living room with a fireplace; a Keeping Room off of the kitchen with a fireplace; a formal dining room; between the dining room and the kitchen is a Butler's Pantry; a front bedroom, which was converted to a Music Room for Erik, with an adjacent bathroom; a large master suite complete with a jet tub; on the second floor are several more bedrooms and bathrooms. A suite above the keeping room that belongs to the only daughter. A gaming room, for the kids; a computer room for the five kids and their mom, adjacent to a bathroom; in the front corner is Erik's father's office. He's a school teacher. The room next to the office is where the three oldest boys slept; the back corner bedroom was where the youngest slept. He's considerably younger than the first four kids. After graduation, Erik and Kayleigh moved into the house they had built in Henford-on-Bagley on Old Mill Hill.

IV) What challenges do they face? (maybe they live off-the-grid, get abducted or live in a haunted house…)
Erik began working on his singing career when he was in his last year of high school. He wrote songs, recorded albums, did Meet & Greets, before long he was a Global Superstar and began to give concerts, as well. Then his image was wanted for the front covers of Trendy Teen Magazines. That's when the photoshoots began. He's wildly popular. His biggest challenge is keeping ahead of his fans, especially the Obsessed Fans who know no boundaries. He married his high school sweetheart after they graduated and before they left for Uni together. Currently, this couple has four children. A boy came first and he was barely a Toddler, when their second child turned out to be triplet girls. Now, they are doing their best to wrangle four Toddlers. This is a huge challenge, especially when his only son decided to disappear frequently. Last time around, Erik found the tiny boy down in the basement, where the built-in pool is. Happily, the child was just fine. He hired a Butler after that to help keep tabs on the munchkins. Erik has a modest garden and they have chickens, too. The hope is to one day use only fresh ingredients to prepare their meals.

V) What is their single greatest achievement to date?
To date: Erik has released nineteen albums and has won fifteen Starlight Accolades for Best Song. He's got another one pending, having been nominated yet again.



VI) In a few words, tell me their idea of the “best” adventure.
Erik's best adventure was his astonishing rise to fame. He became a Global Superstar in just ten Sim days!
