My Sims!
So today I had a funny idea for Sims. I came home and started tweaking. Unfortunately, my screencaps are kind of on the small side; Pie's going to have to teach me how to take nice big ones like she does. But you can see what's going on, pretty decently.
Basically, I moved myself and Kevin into a big Federal-style mansion with six of the kids. You can only have up to eight people living in one house, so I had to pick. I went with clez, carnage533, siddyq, amarctis_q2, destinedtofly, and _revolutionary. Claire, Jerry, Kristie, Jonathan, and Lyn are all teenagers; Raven, since she's my youngest, is a child. I made these guys as much like the real people as I could; I think Kristie and Kevin's Sim versions are particularly similar to the real thing.
So. Screencaps.
First, the family portrait. Kevin and I are in the middle, of course. That's Jerry on one knee in front; Kristie is in the pink dress; Raven is the little one with glasses. Jonathan is the blond boy. Lyn is in a Ravenclaw uniform because I said so, and Claire is in the back.
I put a lot of work into making this a beautiful home filled with books and culture. Here's the living room. Other rooms include the dining room, the master bedroom, and the entry foyer.
Raven, being the youngest, has the room next to Mommy and Daddy. She's also the only member of the family with a room all her own.
The boys share this room. Mom is very nice about letting them hang that picture of a woman on the wall.
The entire third floor is the girls' bedroom. Kristie sleeps in the middle bed; Lyn's is on the far left. Claire is the eldest, so the armoire is positioned in such a way as to give her a little privacy.
This is our backyard. It includes workout equipment, a swing set, a barbecue grill, a telescope, and a hot tub. It also has a rather bitchin' pool.
Raven reads the newspaper. She might be job-hunting, I'm not sure.
Claire earns creativity points by learning to paint masterpieces.
Jon, on the other hand, prefers to earn them by mastering the piano.
Kevin and I don't really care what the kids do; we're happy to canoodle in the hot tub by ourselves.
