3. Name: Alfred Pretty
Aspiration: Family
LTW: Have 6 grandchildren
Stats: I have no idea because I always forget to
look at the stupid things
TurnOns: Dark hair and good at cooking
TurnOff: I completely forget
Genetics: Skin 2, red hair, green eyes
4. Okay so it’s not so grand, but he’s got a roof over his head, a bed, fridge (under
The counter), and a bathroom!
5. While waiting for the paper, I had Alfred get looking for treasure. A few extra
Simoleans never hurt anyone. Besides, he found two rocks! That’s enough for…
nothing!
After the paper arrived, Alfred took a job in Adventuring (I think) and managed
to catch the first carpool. Which inadvertently led to him missing the welcome
wagon. Oh well.
6. Name: Phoebe Chin
Aspiration: Family
LTW: Have 6 grandchildren
Stats: No frickin’ clue
Turn Ons/Off: I can’t remember to save
my life
Genetics: Skin 2(?), blonde hair, green eyes
I had Alfred accept the strange “Come downtown and hang out with people you’ve
never met!” phone call. This gave me a chance to scope out potential spouses and I
came across this beauty. It took several days for Alfred to build up a good relationship
with her but eventually he did.
7. As you can see, Alfred made enough money at work to get some wall coverings and
floors.
Alfred: Phoebe, I know my face is hideous, and we only have one lightning bolt, but
I need a pretty spouse and your pretty okay. Will you marry me?
Phoebe: Oh Alfred, yes! I’ve always wanted to be married to a toad!
8. Since neither Alfred or Phoebe had any real friends, there wasn’t much of a party.
Alfred brought a friend home from work that day, so at least someone was there.
Phoebe only brought about 5K into the family. Talk about cheap.
The party was a raging success and the two jetted off for their honeymoon and
spent the next few days making babies.
9. I sent Phoebe to the store to give her a makeover. I love CC like nobody’s buisness
so I couldn’t stand to see her in Maxis hair. Besides, I kept the ponytail. Just spruced
it up a little. And she looks so much better in regular clothes than that bartender
outfit.
10. I was surprised how quickly Phoebe became pregnant. I have the risky woohoo
and silent lullaby mod installed, so I had them woohoo at least 3 times a day. By day
3 Phoebe popped into the second trimester. And besides being a little more tired than
usual, she didn’t have any symptoms. No throwing up, no peeing herself, and no
passing out. Bonus!
11. Phoebe: This wallpaper is so hideous it’s giving me the worst stomach pain!
Haha, nope! It’s a baby! Congratulations Phoebe, you have given birth to the first
child of generation 1!
It’s a boy, named Brandon Pretty. He has red hair and green eyes.
12. So it would appear that I am terrible at keeping track of pictures. But hey, I’m new to
this, so give me a break!
Before I knew it, it was Brandon’s birthday. Alfred blew out the candles, tossed him
in the air, and smacked him hard with the ugly stick.
Brandon seems to have inherited Phoebe’s eyes and nose. Everything else is pure Pretty.
13. Brandon was a good toddler. He skilled relatively easily, and never once tried to
play with the toilet. I think that’s a record for me.
Phoebe and Alfred are EXTREMELY attentive parents. Every time Brandon was
tired, they both wanted to put him to bed. So one would put him to bed, and then
the other would take him out and put him back. This was extremely annoying, and
resulted in everyone being exhausted and not getting enough sleep
14. After Brandon became a child, both Phoebe and Alfred were desperate for the pitter
patter of baby feet again, so I got them woohooing and once again, Phoebe became
pregnant quickly. I wonder if it’s something to do with both of them being family
sims?
15. Phoebe: Oh no, the wallpaper! It’s still giving me stomach cramps!
You are sorely mistaken again, Phoebe, and smacking the wall with your newborn
baby is not going to change the wallpaper.
It’s a girl! Bethany Pretty has red hair and green eyes just like her brother!
16. I started slacking a bit in childcare because I wanted to focus on their careers in
an attempt to get more money. As a result, I missed both Brandon and Bethany
growing up. However, they both grew up well.
Brandon seems to have inherited Alfred’s lower face and Bethany got his upper.
At this point, Bethany actually looks quite adorable!
17. I messed up bad. Because Phoebe and Alfred kept fighting over putting Bethany
into her crib, they neglected to give her a bottle. So guess who showed up? The
social worker. And just like that, Bethany was gone.
Then Brandon went and got himself over heated and kept passing out. As a result,
he starved to death and I was officially out my heir AND my spare. And with Alfred
and Phoebe both close to Elderhood, I had to get them woohooing again quickly.
18. Alfred: WAAAHHH!!! I’m a terrible parent!
Phoebe: Alfred, our kids were quite hideous. We can try again! I can eat cheesecake
while pregnant. Then we only have to go through this once.
Alfred: But what if the new babies are taken away again?
Phoebe: Don’t worry. Sim social workers aren’t very efficient. They’ll never let us
adopt, but they won’t ever come check that we don’t have new babies.
Alfred: Well… okay, let’s get woohooing.
19. I hate twins. Like, despise them. But I seriously did not want to do this again, and
with Phoebe’s high cooking skill, cheesecake was not a problem. Luckily, it was
easy to get her pregnant again.
20. Phoebe: I don’t understand! Why does hideous wallpaper upset my stomach?
I love how sims pass off the baby. It’s so cute ^_^
21. Cheesecake is wonderful. Here we have our new heir and spare. Alfred is holding
Benson, a baby boy with red hair and green eyes. Phoebe is holding Brittany, a baby
girl with blonde hair and green eyes. I was so happy to see the blonde gene coming
through!
22. Alfred: I’m starving to death over here!
I kind of hate ghosts. Brandon’s ghost shows up every single night and scares
his parents, raids the fridge and throws a big hissy fit.
23. Alfred: Hey look, I’m old!
Really? You look the same to me.
Alfred: No honest, my clothes changed and I look so refined. I age like Clooney
…I highly doubt that.
24. Benson and Brittany grew up without all of their skills. Twins are crap.
But they were always close and huggled all the time :)
25. I really did have good luck with these twins. Their parents were constantly playing
with them, so they always had their wants fulfilled.
They both got a good smack with the ugly stick though. Although Benson looks a
little more promising than his sister. It’s the nose. Brittany has Alfred’s nose.
26. I slacked again. Phoebe grew up, but I forgot to get a picture of her, so you’ll just
have to watch for her in the next chapter. Big bonuses for both Alfred and Phoebe
meant I rebuilt the house from the bottom up. Again, watch for pictures in the next
chapter.
Anyway, both Benson and Brittany grew up well. Although, both of them are quite
ugly.
27.
28. And I leave you with this glorious specimen.
Isn’t he a real catch?
