I have a lot A LOT of screenshots. I can't believe I've been building this neighbourhood for 3 years! I am not even close to finishing it. So here is the very beginning, one neighbourhood, one house, two sims. Presenting Ariel & Sam Handel.
Middle sim is their "mother", and I am just about to delete her. I deleted their "father" too.
Sam Handel.
Long story short.
Ariel is pretty quick herself.
Lone House at Dusk.
Sam isn't even a romance sim! The townies must be desperate for some new blood in the city.
He's not very bright though, is he.
Skipping forward a few months. Camryn Lee, one of Sam's girlfriends, has moved in. William Vijikayar has also moved in, bringing the Handel house to a population of 4 people.
A mini makeover.
William and Ariel have a quiet wedding ceremony
Camryn cries about her demotion to Dishwasher, while Sam is taking full advantage of his Slacker career.
Houses slowly being developed in the area. Oh, and there are occasional bushfires.
Ariel and William welcome their twin boys (only one shown)! Obviously their two bedroom house is way too small for 6 people, so they decided to upgrade. Fortunately, there was a perfectly sized one on the house market.
From Sam and Camryn's they can just see their old house.
Whoops, I never mentioned William opened a Flower Shop! Here is a
post dedicated to his Flower Shop. Camryn decided she needed a makeover for the Summer.
Twin potty training. Not the best time for introduction, but here's Xander and Eric Vijikayar.
Sam was wondering why his stomach has been growing...well now he knows.
Aunt Camryn taking Xander and Eric to her favourite H&M store.
Xander befriends a stray cat.
After visiting their sister alien planet, Sam decided he was hungry for more adventure, and being a Slacker just doesn't cut it. Adventure career (Career with the best work clothes.)
Still has time to take care of his weeboobee.
So I heard the Vijikayar twins are pretty knowledgeable.
Another time skip. Zooey Handel (the alien girl) has grown up! And the boy on the left is Max Vijikayar, Eric and Xander's new brother. (I was going to name him Changmin but decided he didn't suit an Asian name.)

Camryn has moved up considerably in the Culinary career ladder. Experimenting with food at home.
Sam is now a fine Pirate.
Sam and Camryn Handel (they got married, but I forgot when) welcome their first child together, Amelia Handel, after three exhausting days.
Zooey grew up.
Max is now a big boy and joins his brothers for homework sessions.
But not so old that he can't play with his little cousin!
Here comes the private school kids.
Zooey's bedroom. Snapdragon was a gift from Uncle William.
Amelia old enough to share a bedroom with half-sister Zooey.
The boys have a room of their own. And so the story stops here for now. (Yes, there's a new house across the road! City is growing!!)
