YAY FOR SATURDAY!

Most of the Rojo's are really busy during the week, so everybody minds their own business and stays pretty productive. By the time the weekend rolls around, they could really use some fun and social interaction with eachother. I decided to throw them a pool party!
Leesha, Micheal and Lilith enjoying a nice picnic.

I invited Tatiana Ivanov (Dimitri's older sister, in blue). She brought her boyfriend Jarvis (also in blue). The girl with black hair is Leslie Driscoll, one of Leesha and Luna's old highschool friends.


Bradly (Marty Rojo Jr.'s husband) is in white. The little girl is Micheal's best friend Sharon. I wish she would have her birthday so they could be boyfriend and girlfriend...
 
Marty Rojo Jr., Mathew Rojo and his wife Wu were also in attendance, but must have left early because I couldn't find them to take their photo.

Tameka Grisby (Laurel's sister) showed up, but not in the requested swimwear. Probably because she's Insane... no seriously. And on the left is one of Mathew Rojo's kids. I forget his name... it' 2 words though.

The Rojo girls had a lot of fun in the sprinkler. I think Leesha looks adorable all preggy in her swimsuit... I wish she was wearing a bikini.

Laurel and Micheal enjoyed some Juice. Way to set an example to your teenager.
Dimitri also enjoyed some Juice. Micheal was a little tipsy and tried to talk to him about his new job at the grocery store, but I don't think Dimitri wanted to hear it. Dimitri is a strange dude. (Side note: He is now employed in the Military).
 But so far he seems to be a good husband and future father. I wish he wasn't so old though.


Leesha rolled a want to question the other Rojo boy. So she went to his house, where his parents were no longer living. (His parents are her brother, Mathew, and his wife Wu). Those Chinese Rojo kids are strange. Why are they staring like that? The girl on the left is Dan Dan. The girl on the right is Peijing. The boy is an Artistic Couch Potato, and also a Bookworm. I've decided that when Wu Rojo was pregnant, Marty Sr. HAD to have used his Mad Scientist ray gun to turn her babies into robots, which is why they were born as children and aren't aknowledged as related to anyone. I mean look at those blank robotic stares.


Marty is 95 days old. Still kicking. He wanted to WooHoo with his wife... seemed reasonable. So I had her try and for some reason he denied? Just die already. Both of you.


But really, you can, because you've seen your first official grandchild, and the START OF THE 3RD GENERATION: Dimitri Rojo Jr. He has his dad's skin.

I wonder if he'll inherit any of his father's strange habits. He rolled Hates the Outdoors and Genius Good (I knew it started with a G) . And i'll leave you with another photo of Dimitri making a total fool of himself... he's good at that.
HAPPY SIMMING!

A Birthday, A Wedding, and A Pregnancy




A lot has happened the past few days in the Rojo household.

Micheal made a friend at school. They've been going to each other's houses after school to play tag and do homework. They've quickly become best friends. Her name is Sharon Logsdon. Her traits are Evil, Perfectionist and Loner. They'll probably get married.

Laurel looked all over town for Marty Jr. and Bradly so she could visit them. They didn't have a home! So she invited Marty Jr. out to dinner and gave him her partnership to the Spa. I don't know why they chose to dine outside, since they both Hate the Outdoors. He and Bradly then purchased a very fashionable 1 bedroom 1.5 bath home close to town. No babies for them.

Marty has been boring lately... I feel bad about it, but i'm kind of just waiting around on him to die. I know I shouldn't since he's my founder... but he's accomplished everything he wanted to in life. So lately i've been sending him around town looking for special seeds (to buy a new house for Leesha), and he meditates for hours at a time.

So one day after Leesha got off work, it notified me she had been promoted to level 3 of Science. So I went over to go check on her, and there was a handsome man outside of her work. Why wasn't she trying to meet him? Of course I stepped in. His name is Dimitri Ivanov. His traits are Technophobe, Brave, Slob, Virtuoso, and Neurotic. He likes Electronica, Pancakes, and the color Turquoise. They started talking and things were going super well super fast. So I got them married right then and there. She's not getting any younger.
And apparently neither is he! 4 DAYS TILL HE'S AN ELDER?!? She's barely a Young Adult... Oh Lawd... these 2 need to start making babies before he keels over.
With her nose and ears and skin, His eyes, lips and hair, they could have some ugly babies. Lets hope it works out exactly the opposite.

So how's the heir doing? You must be wondering. Still no romance in Luna's life. She's been working a lot, trying to become an International Super Spy. She's a traffic cop at the moment.

She needs to find a man that loves a woman in uniform.

Micheal had his birthday!
I picked Charismatic as his trait. I'm forseeing a career in Professional Sports.

Then the next morning over a delicious Cherry Pancake breakfast, Leesha started to show! I hope she has twins. I hope Marty can meet his first official (since Mathew's aren't showing up as related) grandchildren before his time comes.

Things are about to get hectic again. Babies make people busy. But that's why Marty has been seed collecting, so he can buy a house for Leesha, Dimitri, and Baby(s?) Rojo.

And i'll leave you with this shot of Dimitri PEEING HIS PANTS RIGHT BEFORE HIS WEDDING.
HAPPY SIMMING!

PART 1

okay so... i'm already well into the 2nd generation (2 are moved out and married, then there's 2 other adults, a teenager and  a child) so my first blog post will have a lot of pictures, be very long, and basically be playing catchup.


This is Marty Rojo. His traits are Daredevil, Workaholic, Ambitious, Handy, and Hot-Headed. His favorite color is red, his favorite food is lobster thermidor (which he's never eaten) and his favorite music is electronica. His lifetime wish was to reach level 5 of 4 different career paths. He fulfilled it. He's traveled to China. He owns the Soil and Water Research Facility. He's a partner to the hospital.

He had meager beginnings in Riverview.





He gardens for free food and fixes all repairs himself. You should see the Rojo residence now. I don't have any pictures yet, but I will. Being a workaholic helped him get lots of money and his pad is SCHWEET.


He got a free car from working in Law Enforcement.


He was also in the military.


And the medical field as well. This is right before he had his birthday to adult.


He ended up settling in the Science career track and reached level 10, Mad Scientist.


He married his neighbor, Laurel Grisby.
All of his coworkers from different jobs we're at their pub wedding.

She needed a makeover bad. It wasn't until after they got married that I noticed her huge nose and ears.
Laurel's lifetime wish is max out the painting and writing skills. Painting is maxed out and she's on level 8 of writing. Her traits are Loner, Artistic, Good Sense of Humor, Hates the Outdoors and Handy. Her favorites are Indie music, Spaghetti, and the color Blue. She "worked" as a Test Subject and Fitting Room Guard. But not really because she would only get a job after pregnancies to get the free maternity leave paycheck. Cha-ching. She's written 4 books. She's a partner to the bookstore and the spa.

This is her sister (and neighbor) Tameka Grisby. She has a nice house as well.

When they got married Marty was an adult and she was barely a young adult. Perfect ages to have a lot of kids but not totally all at once.

The first 4, in order of appearance: Marty Jr. and Mathew (twins) then Luna and Leesha (twins)

Random family shot

Lets start with Marty Jr. His traits are Hopeless Romantic, Artistic, Photographers Eye, Hates the Outdoors, and Brave. I broke the legacy rules in the second generation. I picked all their traits, but starting in the third i'll roll them like i'm supposed to. He likes children's music, but I forget his other favorites. His lifetime wish is to max out the Painting and Photography skills. He worked at the spa as a teenager, but now is in Law Enforcement. He's traveled to Egypt.
Gorgeous, isn't he? I think he's the absolute perfect mix of Laurel and Marty. Thank God he didn't get his mother's ears or nose, but he did get his father's purple eyes. He isn't the heir though because he didn't get red hair. So guess what...
I turned him gay. He married his family's man-maid, Bradly. Bradly has some typical maid traits: Neat, Childish, Charismatic, Brave and Flirty.

Next is Mathew. His lifetime wish had something to do with having a net worth of a certain amount. He fulfilled it. Speaking of net worth, I believe the Rojo's are over 400,000 simoleons right now (house included). I think that's great for only being on the 2nd generation. They do a lot of gem and seed collecting. Anyways, his traits are Family Oriented, Brave, Disciplined, Handy and Vegetarian. As a teenager he held a job in the bookstore and he currently works in the Military. He isn't the heir either, because even though he got his father's red hair, he got his mothers nose and ears. His favorite color is Spiceberry, but I also forgot his other favorites. He's traveled to China several times, and that's where he met his wife, Wu.
When they first met they tried for baby and WA is super buggy, so somehow his 3 children were born as... children. Then it was such a process to get them married and all moved in together, and now his children live with him, but aren't recognized as his children. And somehow one of his triplets is already a teenager even though Mathew is barely a young adult. I'm just going to pretend that Marty Sr. did some kind of an experiment on Wu while she was pregnant. Wu's traits are Genius, Snob, Virtuoso, Loner and Unflirty. Her Lifetime wish is to be Swimming in Cash. All of their children are Artistic Geniuses. Their son is a Couch Potato. One daughter is a Virtuoso. One of the kids names is Peijing, but I forget the other 2. 
Mathew proposing to Wu in her house in China, with his 2 daughters. His son isn't pictured.

Next is Luna. Her wish is to be an International Super Spy, so she's in Law Enforcement. She worked in the grocery store as a teenager. Her traits are Athletic, Disciplined, Natural Cook, Loves the Outdoors and Ambitious. Her favorites are Chinese music, Frog's Legs, and the color Blue. She's traveled to China.
Pretty, isn't she? Red hair: check. Small nose and ears: check. Meet the 2nd generation heir.

Now we come to Leesha. Leesha wants to be a Chess Legend, which means maxing out the Logic skill and playing a lot of chess. Her favorites are French music, Stir Fry, and the color Aqua. Her traits are Neat, Bookworm, Genius, Virtuoso, and Perfectionist. She held a job in the bookstore as a teenager but now she is in the Science career. 
This is a picture of her as a teenager, although she's currently a young adult. Damn nose. She pretty much looks the same though except with different hair.

After all the kids were teenagers, Marty and Laurel decided they wanted more babies... Lilith enters the story. Her favorites are Classical music, the color Pink, and Sushi. So far she is a Loner, Genius, Artistic and Computer Whiz.
She has her mom's plain hair, skin, and eyes, but not the nose or ears. I decided to make her angsty.

And last but not least, right after Marty became an Elder they had Micheal. His favorites are Indie music, the color White and Spaghetti. His traits are Workaholic, Loves the Outdoors and Athletic.
He looks just like his mom. Nose, Ears, Hair, Skin, Eyes. Everything. MAMA'S BOY!

So that's the overview of everything so far. I'll try to post frequently so they can be more detailed. My founder will be getting a visit from the Grim Reaper any day now, his age bar is all full. Can't wait for Luna to find a husband and bring on the official 3rd generation. In my next post i'll include some photos of their property. Now I'll leave you with a picture of Marty and Laurel looking rather old.
HAPPY SIMMING!
