The Going Solo Challenge (main) Updated to include TS4

I randomly chose Riverview to start in since I had not played in that world in a while. I didn't feel like creating a sim so I chose a pre-existing, single sim with the house I liked the most. I chose Constance Shelley and her beautiful brick home.



Family Line
Constance - Prof Auth/writer
Jane - Jack of all trades/Education
Tina - Master of the Arts/Art appraiser
June - Descendant of Da vinci
Wind - Home design hot shot/Architect
Elgon - Blog Artist/Video game developer
Jonas - Magical Makeover / NA
Cherish -

Constance moved to Riverview to concentrate on her writing. Her greatest desire is to become a professional author. She lucked into a beautiful brick home on a corner lot. With only one neighbor she hoped for few interruptions.


Then came Hal Breckenridge. Being new to the town Constantine was unaware that Hal's motto was "Love 'em and leave 'em". She, being a very reserved and private person, was overwhelmed by Hal's charms and attractiveness. Hal told her he was in town for just this weekend and was looking for someone to help him find his way around town. Even though she new very little of her new neighborhood she didn't want to send him away.


Instead of standing in the rain, Constance invited Hal in. In no time he was putting on the moves and she was being taken right in. She didn't know what had come over herself. She'll never see him again right? Why not lose a little control? Being pent up in a house alone for days and days can make a woman stir crazy!

"oh Hal, you're soaking wet and muddy. Why don't you take a shower and I'll throw your cloths in the dryer?"
"Forget my cloths! Come join me in the shower!"


This was so unlike her! What the heck! It'll make for a great book later on. With the names changed of course ;-)

animal crossing?

Animal crossing is awesome its for the game cube and wii I haven't played it in soooo long.

edit: Oh yeah saw animal crossing and forgot to say. I may try this out when I need a break from my other game :)

"oh gosh. I can't believe I just did that. I wonder if he expects to stay the night?"

"Thanks babe. I think I'll be heading home now."
"Home? I thought you were staying at The Good Time Inn."
"I am. That's just what I like to call my house. Feel free to stop by anytime, if ya know what I mean." ;-)


Constance felt like a fool. How could she have fallen for that no good liar's show? She decided to shrug it off and use it to fuel her next novel. It may have been a lapse in judgement but she could always hope it turned into the next best seller

Constance stayed locked in her study for weeks working her anger and embarassment into profit. Just when she thought it was all behind her and she could venture out once more, she began feeling very sick.
"I haven't been out of the house in 2 weeks. How could I possibly have gotten sick?"




After spending a full day heaving and feeling terrible, Constance finally went to the DR.
"It's not the flu Ms. Shelley. You're pregnant."
"No no no no no no no no no no no!"

(Just to add a little surprise to my game, I sometimes set the woohooer so that all woohoo is risky. Sometimes it only takes once!)

"Hal, I think you should come over......"


Thinking he was going to get lucky he rushed right there.
"Hey beautiful. I was hoping you'd call me. If only these roses were half as lovely as you. Shall we take this conversation into the bedroom?"


"Hal, I'm pregnant."



"Well, you see babe, that's just not my problem. I don't 'do' babies. I gotta go."

"Smuck"

Constance has never desired to be a mom. She has no idea what she's going to do now. Hal won't return her calls and this isn't the first time he's gotten a girl in trouble if the rumors are to be believed. She feels sick ALL THE TIME. This is going to be a long 9 months.

Constance is determined to live like it's just any other day. She will not let this stop her writing career!

At least, that was the plan. She had overwhelming cravings for watermelons and hot dogs!


What better place for a pregnant gal to get her fill than at a food eating contest?


Maybe that was going a little overboard. And she didn't even win!


Maybe pretending everything was normal was not the right thing to do. She needed support. She needed help. Constance had no idea what she was doing.

Haha! Beckles123, you're too kind! I really have no idea what I'm doing. :-)
I have tried to load your link to see what your story is about but I keep getting the maintenance page. Is is a 100 baby challenge or are you doing clones?

Constance needs a friend. She finally musters up the courage to go next door and meet Meadow. They've seen each other in passing but never really gotten to know one another.
"Meadow, I'm pregnant and I have not idea what to do!"


"Oh congratulations! Being a mom is a wonderful thing! I love babies! You can feel free to call on me anytime!"


"No, you don't understand! I didn't want this to happen. I'm freaking out and Hal is not helping!"


"You definitely can't count on that old hound dog. Do you have a crib? What about toys and baby things?"

"....."
"Oh Constance! Maybe I can figure out if it's a girl or a boy. Then I'll take you shopping. This will be fun!"

After a long afternoon shopping with meadow, Constance had the basics in place. They never did decide if it might be a girl or a boy so they went neutral with all their purchases. Honestly, Constance was more concerned with how it would fit into her small house without getting in her the way, or whether it would clash than anything she already owned. She was so very grateful for the help but Meadow has such a sun shiney personality she was glad to be in the quiet of her own home.
hmmm. How long would it be that way? Babies cry all the time. Need attention all the time. She wants to be a good mom but she's still so bitter about how it all came to be.

"I know what I need. A trip to the spa!"

"oh how sweat! Meadow left me a present! I should really do something nice for her.....I wonder if she babysits?"

I know I have been posting a lots of updates but I had a TON of pics and I wanted to write it out while creative juices were flowing :-)


"AAAHHHHHH!" puff puff puff "You've got to be kidding me! I'm not ready!" Puff puff "AAAIIIIEEEEEE!"


Perhaps all that walking around with Meadow had done her in. Or maybe it was the massage , but Constance was definitely in labor. She rushed to the hospital. "There is no way I am having this baby on the bathroom floor!"


She's not sure if it was a good idea, but she called Hal. It was his child after all. And much to her surprise he came!


After MANY long, painful hours Constance walked out with a tiny girl she named Jane. Jane was a Clumsy Loner like her mother. "I wonder if she'll take after her father at all? I kinda hope not."


Right behind her came Hal with his own tiny bundle. Jane's evil twin Joan. Constance sped out of the parking lot so fast Hal had no idea what happened. How did he end up with a baby in his arms??!


Jane was sure to lock all the doors and gates. She new she was having a baby but she definitely hadn't planned on twins! And she just KNEW that there was something evil about Joan. "They'll be good for each other." She told herself to help ease the guilt of abandoning one of her children. "Hal is the father after all. I am NOT taking that baby back! Or HIM!"


Hal, of course, was just as shocked as she. Him with a baby? What was he going to do with a baby?? He called and called and called Constance.
"She is your daughter. She is your responsibility!"

"I don't know what to tell ya babe. How about 'Deal with it'?"



(The twins were a total accident/surprise! I don't have the fertility treatment and she never watches TV or music so it was a total random happening. Like almost everything else that has happened. What I did to separate the twins was- I went into edit town and moved Hal in. Then promptly moved him and Joan out and into a more suitable home. I then had to use CTRL+SHIFT+C and housoldfunds cheat to set their monies back where they were before I combined the households)
