I decided to take a break from the madness of the Veronaville Asylum and play a normal family for a while. Just as I was gearing up to go back to the Rice family, I received a surprise gift via PM.
Type She was nameless so I called her Mishayla and she set up house with one of my sims. He's an edited version of Brandon (he was Beatrice's boyfriend in the Darcy Legacy), and is called Robert.
Turns out they got along REALLY well ;)
They got a pug, who is called Pippie. The story behind Pippie's name is that my 2 y.o. daughter says "pippie" for "puppy" and I just couldn't resist calling the new dog by that name.
Engagement!
Their house. It's been extended upstairs since I took this picture.
They had a quiet wedding in the living room.
And soon after Phoebe was born.
Robert really wanted a robot station and they bought one - at the expense of house extentions to accommodate the (second!) result of their rather lively bedroom and couch activities.
Phoebe soon grew into a toddler who loved to play with the toy robot her father made for her.
And to cuddle Pippie.
Rose and Richard soon joined the family.
Phoebe grew into a pretty little girl
And the toy robot went berserk from all the attention it was receiving.
Winter passed (sorry! No snowman pictures - they were too busy, with a Phoebe still a toddler and Mishayla pregnant, etc)
Although it was still a bit cool, they could now start enjoying some outdoor activities.
Rose and Richard grew up.
Phoebe's very outgoing personality manifested in almost constant showing off for her parents.
Rose had allergies! Oh that springtime pollen!
Phoebe stayed up well into the night to greet her father coming home (they're driving me crazy by passing out at 8pm, then waking up at 11:45 - ie. just before midnight!)
And the whole family continued to dote on Pippie at the expense of looking after the twins.
I'll do a Rice Legacy update next. The Stantons are living in the same neighbourhood but the two families haven't met yet! Probably because of the almost instant family the Stantons had, so they didn't end up going to any community lots. Sam Rice is due to grow up soon so hopefully he will bring Phoebe home from school and the two famiiles can meet and become friendly.your cut contents here.
