@rosemow thanks! I just adore this family.
@Ellupelluellu I couldn't imagine playing with another family. Love all your family pics. And the doggies are adorable.
@SheriGR it does seem our playing styles are very similar. With only 8 household slots I'm always moving sims in and out of the main household when I want to focus on a particular sim.
Nugget is a cutie! 🙂
@Bluegayle what a sweet little foal.
@DaniRose2143 great to see Londyn and Danielle!
@MoonlightGraham lovely to meet your family. 🙂
@simsplayer818 so happy to hear you were able to get Ora back. I'd hate to think of losing any of my sims.
It’s still the Reeds for me. I play them since 2018 in different parallel universes.
Originally there was Daniel Phillips, a character from a different videogame, whom the player cannot save there. I wanted to give him the best possible life in Sims 4, but had not specific plans whom to pair him with. Well, Daniel chose the detective Gavin Reed, and was very adamant about that. (I swear they recognize each other in every new save.)
Despite everyone having an occult life state, and my story often involving them in world politics, at the core Daniel and Gavin are a stereotypical couple of homemaker and career focused partner. Since both partners work (Daniel teaches from home, Gavin maxed the detective career), they are well set money-wise and can enjoy life to the fullest (whenever I let them). Financial security has also softened them a bit. Admittedly Daniel is a hot-head and Gavin’s goofish nature can cross into bullying way too easily, so I need to keep a close eye on them in conversations.
Since I play them so long now, I’ve grown attached to the Reeds like one would to co-workers or next-door neighbors. When Gavin needed glasses, for example, that was a major emotional event. In the main save they won’t ever die.
Household 1 consists of Daniel, Gavin, Daniel’s daughter by alien abduction, Peggy, and their adopted son, Hendrik, the neglected son of the previous Chief of Police. They also have two cats (Argus and Stopthat) a horse (Plum) and a fishtank. It's mainly Daniel, who brings the animals, Gavin would have been satisfied with Argus.
Household 2 consists of Gavin’s parents, the redeemed ex-criminals Jim and Dorothy Reed, whom I added later. With them lives officer Tina Chen, Gavin’s BFF/former alibi-girlfriend, who is also Daniel’s Fated Mate. It sounds like a recipe for trouble, but those three are really close-knit. And finally there's Tina’s and Gavin’s teenaged son, Jin Reed-Chen, a future marine biologist.
The Reeds are connected to many other families in that save, and in some cases the line between friends/neighbors/co-workers and family blurs. They’re all one big pile of trouble!
The Reeds family are great sims @EnkiSchmidt 🙂 It is very nice to read about their background details.
Peggy and Hendrik are cute!
We do become attached to our sims households, and all that is happening in their lives.
