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!
