Uberhood - Downtown - The Newson Family

Jan 20, 2010 16:53

The Newsons... What to say about the Newsons? They are a challenge, that's for sure, at least until the two toddlers grow up.

We placed them downtown in one of those second-biggest-type houses.

That Marcus has a really funky chin.

I love the lone redhead in the pack. When I first played this clan (in my BACC) I wondered if the red would be a glitch and swap to brown upon transition.

Indeed he does! I love it. I wonder if he'll grow into it.

Yeah, Garrett is kinda the odd one out. Most of the others have dominant eye colours, too. It makes sense that they're all different since they're adopted, but Garrett and Georgia are supposed to be biological twins, so, yes, odd.

I really like the makeovers. :P
Hehe, I can't help but chuckle whenever I see the kids or teens react to bad reports. If only I could have just squashed bad marks into oblivion. xP

Thanks. :)

Hah, yeah, they only show them to their parents if they're good (or not, as it were, I have a hack in that prevents the cheering).

Ginger is adorable with her makeover! Maxis made some pretty nice Sims in the later expansions.

Thanks. :) Yeah, I really like almost all the AL playables.

This family always represented a challenge for me as I couldn't face the idea of having them all alone but when some they were taken in by a kind old couple (ie: the Goodies) the house was super packed and I really can't handle that many people.

I'm impressed you got through it :) and I love the makeovers!

I briefly considered moving them in with the Goodies, but decided that playing them on their own is a much better challenge. I'm used to playing huge households and rather enjoy it, and with two adult sims a pair of toddlers is never very hard, but when there's only teens to take care of them, and a pair of children as well... it's a little more difficult. The house layout wasn't ideal either, though I did my best with what was there.

Thank you! I'm rather fond of them myself. :)

I like the Newsons although (or maybe bacause) they are a challenge to play at first. But their G names are impossible to get right for me.

Yeah, it's challenging, but fun (most of the time, when they kept dropping things out of the queue while needs were dropping rapidly, I was yelling at the screen a few times). It took a lot of effort to learn their names. It helped that we played them in our BACC hood as well.
