Seville Tecza had a destiny, his own path in the world to make on the world, but that included leaving the dysfunctional, if loving house of his family. He decided to move to the town of Beachaven, when he had heard about it on the local news as a "picturesque village by the mountains, that cater to the arty and crafty type". He knew that this was the town for him, one might say, he just felt it in his bones. So he bought a house online and after a slightly emotional goodbye (mostly from his father) to his family, packed up and left the only place that had been his home.
Seville wasn't an ambitious Sim, he enjoyed the simple things in life. He didn't want fame, money or glory, the only constant want for him was to be happy with himself and to hopefully find the perfect mate for him, that wasn't asking for much.
He wouldn't spend the rest of his life like his father, in a pit of black despair.
But Seville was a practical Sim and he knew that he had to make money some how. Being active has always been a part of his nature. He just couldn't sit idle for more than short periods at a time and it seemed with that restlessness came the need to create!
Luckily he got immense pleasure at creating things. Who would have known.
Seville was in his element in Beachaven. The people were friendly and curious about Seville, as the newcomer to their little town and soon he was always surrounded by people of all shapes and colors, curious to see what he was painting on his easel.
Nia was one such Sim that was always around and super friendly with Seville. Seville found her very attractive and was flattered by her attentiveness. But when he went to make his first advance at her she refused him flat out.
Seville couldn't fathom what he did wrong and the situation reminded him of his awkward fumbles with Nancy
Until he caught Carl and Nia making out in his bathroom one afternoon.
Seville: Well, that explains that.
Sherry: Don't even think about it, Sev. I don't even play on the same league.
The days were long for Seville but he never was never bored, when he got stumped on a painting he'd got for a jog to get the creative juices flowing. But that wasn't always the brightest idea in Beachaven, as the summer lasted 2 seasons here and the heat could get unbearable.
The nights on the other hand... Those were a bit lonely. Not because he needed social interaction, he can get that from Carl, Nia or Sherry. But Seville was looking for his IT girl and after Nancy's and Nia's rebuttal of his attentions, Seville was a little gun shy.
So to keep his feelings and ego safe from the callous women, Seville attempted online dating at the popular site SimsInHarmonyInLove.com. This went on for a couple of days until he narrowed down his search on two of the most likely candidates; Talia Lemon and Felyshilla Nett.
Seville felt that Talia could just be the Sim for him. He and Talia set up a date to meet and Seville was not at all disappointed in her.
Sevlle: Thank you Sim Goddess for your generosity!
Things where going rather well between them and when the date ended it was considered by both parties to be a great date. But Seville never heard from Talia again and whenever he tried to contact her she would never be home. He did not know what to think.
These events made it a difficult for Seville to be too enthused about his date with Felyshilla. They had a quite dinner at the bowling alley and Seville started to think that Felyshilla wasn't that into him either.
But Felyshilla's whole attitude seemed to change once they started to actually bowl. She was friendly and talkative and Seville realized that they had a lot in common! Both of them were family Sims and wanted to have a quiet life with at least two children.
The key to Sev's heart was hers the moment they kissed. It seemed to Seville that he had waited a lifetime for a Sim with his idealism of family and passion to go with it.
After the date ended Sev went upstairs to the bar and who does he run into but Talia herself. When Talia saw him she jumped up fro m her stool and greeted him warmly all the while apologizing for never getting back with him. There are no hard feelings for Seville, who was so happy he'd swear he was floating. He realized that Talia is too much of a pleasure Sim for him and they would never be truly compatible.
Talia was there with another of her SimsInHarmonyInLove.com dates and Seville wished her the best of luck.
On his way out of Atomic Bowling Seville happen to see the fabled good witch of Beachaven; Eden Saintclair. Remembering his family history on his grandfather Porfiro, Seville gives Eden a wide berth. Even knowing that she's the good witch, he's still cautious but takes it as a good sign none the less.
<
Riding on his cloud 9 of happiness and seeing the good witch of Beachaven, Seville immediately turns his creative juices into writing a book, not just any book though, the history as he knows if of the Teczas.
Turns out that he really had a knack for it.
Sev couldn't have been happier. He was in love, had a great career that he also loved. Now all that he needed was to have Fely move in and start on their shared dream of a family. Fely moved in and quit her job as a chef to stay at home with Seville and work on their creative interests together.
The wedding party was all a blur to the newlyweds, they knew their guests had a good time and that they were now husband and wife and that's all that really mattered to them... well that's almost all that really mattered, they seem to remember the wedding night very clearly.
Especially when the after effects of that night quickly made itself known.
Seville, never an ambitious Sim before, found that he hand this NEED to provide for Fely and their incoming bundle of joy and worked tirelessly day and night to get the money for all the baby's needs.
Soon and without even realizing it, Seville had indeed reached fame, money and glory and Sims that have known him forever seem to see him in a new light.
But none of it changed Fely's and Sev's life. They were still the Sims that they've always been, wanting a quiet life with their family.
So happy they were with their life that Felyshilla went into labor with a smile on her face. With both Seville and Felyshilla being family Sims, no one was surprised when instead of one child they had two. Everyone knows fertile family Sims have a higher chance for natural twins.
Sepia Tecza, with her father's light blue eyes and brown hair and a freckly skin that could only be passed on by her mother
and
Henna Tecza, with her great grandmother's Shelby's blond hair and possibly her green eyes as well as most Tecza's have had the dark blue or light blue eyes.
Diper duty and round the clock feedings became a stable at the Tecza household and even though both parents worked from home they had to hire out a nanny for additional help.
The nanny didn't seem to happy with her choice of careers and barely helped at all. Seville promptly fired her and he and Fely just started taking shifts with the girls and their work.
That is until Fely had to take shorter hours during her work shifts.
She never let anything get in the way of spending time with Sepia and Henna, even with another on the way and no matter how tired or busy she may be.
The girls birthday came and went and that's when the "real" fun began for Sev and Fely; potty training, walking toddlers and talk backs.
They couldn't have been happier.
Though, there were some drawbacks for Sev and Fely and sometimes they had a hard time making ends meet. But that never stopped their cheery disposition and glass half full attitude.
Plus all the hardship seemed so insignificant when you had such joy.
Fawn Tecza, another girl with green eyes and brown hair.
The day of Fawn's birth was also the Sepia's and Henna's birthday. Sims would always comment on the twins different looks; Henna had inherited her mother's eyes and nose, and her fathers strong jaw, lips and cheeks. Sepia got a good blends of both parents, except the nose, that's All Seville.
Contrary to popular belief, twins don't always either love each other towards simcest or hate ether. Henna and Sepia just.. seemed indifferent. Henna was always trying to reach out and connect with her sister, either by games and conversations but Sepia just didn't want anything to do with her. On the other hand, when it was Sepia that wanted to play with Henna she always got her way.
Though, Sepia's redeeming quality is that she seems to really be attentive to Fawn and will go out of her way to play with her all the time.
Henna turned out to be a bit of a smarty pants and shooting up to overachiever way before Sepia was even aware of it. Guess, that's what happens when your sibling doesn't have time play with you.
Without any warning what so ever, Felyshilla found herself pregnant again. She and Sev had discussed stopping having natural child birth after Fawn and maybe adopting, but looks like this new one took hold before that was finalized.
Still, Fely loved being pregnant and couldn't help but be happy to have this last one. She was hoping for a boy as she knew that Sev would want one but if it turned out to be another girl, she would be happy with that as well.
Seville: Really, who did not see that coming on the unplanned pregnancy?
By some twist of fate Seville's male simmers finally made it to Felyshilla's egg and twin boys; Khaki and Ochre, were born.
Seville:Finally! I love my kids but I think with the boys should be the end of our expansion to our family.
But Fely had other ideas...
With the extra attention that Seville and Felyshilla focused on the twins and the still toddler Fawn, Sepia and Henna started to act out. Henna went so far as to break the family computer which Seville used to write his novel, in turn getting money into the house hold that desperately needed it.
Thankfully the acting out was short lived and now that Fawn was a child and the twins toddlers it was a little easier to get the family in some sort of routine.
Henna and Sepia finally reach the teen years, much to their parents delight and everyone thought they looked like fine young ladies.
...
Well, almost everyone. Seville's messy genes have been passed on to further generations.
Both eldest girls were very interested in nature as well as fitness and would spend all their free time trying to better their skills in each catagory, with mixed results.
It got to the point that Felyshilla and Seville were no longer surpirsed to see one of their daughters passed out in front of their yard, though this generally turned out to be Henna.
Who seemed to be the... one with the worst luck in the family.
Seville and Felyshilla, who had this wanted to put the kids into private school since the Sepia and Henna were born, were ecstatic to finally get the opportunity to place all of their kids.
