My first ever sim I spent that much time with was Lyle Hurd, a "single dad" with a stolen baby
I wanted to play with kids but I didn't like playing the other sims she was biologically related to, so I just took the baby lmao
There weren't any toddlers in 2015/2016, so Danna never was a toddler :pensive:
I generally start off most sim saves with a single father, but in ts4 I wanted to explore the game a bit then marry a townie and all that. It just felt weird with just Lyle, so I snatched a baby from a different household I had because I couldn't stand not being a single dad. LOL
With Lyle, I experienced his death 3 times, twice via electrocution and once by age.
He was incredibly inept with every single thing he tried, and was hard to please in TS4. He wasn't even a snob; His traits were geek/neat/goofball, but the one trait that came up every time was Neat. He was a complete neat freak. He was constantly uncomfortable in his surroundings, and aggressively cleaned everything no matter where he was. Not sure if the tuning was off then, but he hated parks since they were always filled with unfinished hotdogs, hated bars and public restrooms on lots since sinks and toilets would break, etc
I remember checking his stats when he died to find out the mood he was always in was, in fact, uncomfortable vs happy for a majority of my sims LOL
He lived in Willow Creek on the Bargain Bend lot with his stolen daughter, and loved her to bits.Nothing like good ol' cas.fulleditmode to make them biologically related. Despite being so uncomfortable all the time, he was one of my only sims to ever finish the renaissance sim aspiration, with his last career being a Writer... Where his books got glitched and kept doubling every time, so he ended up dying a millionaire. When he died, it was rather timely that they finally patched in ghosts, so when he'd show up at night, he'd hang out with the daughter he stole, as well as the two boys he adopted.
He never married, or woohoo'd, mostly because he was far too uncomfortable to make anything happen with anyone, but it didn't matter to him at all. As long as the house was clean, his kids happy and fed, he was a happy man.
...
Though his cooking definitely gave him near-death experiences, it wasn't until his first adopted son started cooking that anyone in the house got anything decent to eat. LOL
What do you mean Pizza isn't a nutritious meal for your kids to grow up on??
The downside to his own legacy was that he was culled due to the really small culling limit, the lack of me actually using mods then, and that my earliest backup doesn't have him in it either. In the save he started in, he's only a silhouette now--but he's always going to be that sim that really broke ts4 down for me. He had 10 grandkids who went onto making more, and his current gen as a false founder is at six, almost seven at this time.
Now I only keep his memory alive by making fun of him at every chance I get in the simlit story I built around him lmao
Here he is with his stolen daughter from a shot I scrapped in White Lies--I'd bust out his original screenshots, but I only have shots of him when he was old, fat, and in his underwear in front of a computer post-retirement since I never took many screenshots in general back then since poo computer, hahaha
