The Rileys - Part 1.
The Rileys are characters from one of my stories. I use them as a test family, that moves into almost every new neighbourhood I'm playing. They don't really have any specific storyline in the game.
I probably have no other Sims that have gone through as many incarnations and as much plastic surgery as the members of this family. These pictures are from back when I couldn't make TS3-Sims worth a darn. x(
This is Lynn and Aaron, the responsible parents.
Gage Briody: So what happened at work today?
Aaron: A little mishap with a bunsen burner standing too close to the Particle-Invertion Dimentional Re-Coder. Nothing too serious.
The Rileys have two daughters and two sons. Remember Natalie and Annie, who were picking on Melody?
Annie: Did we really look like this? D:
Natalie: Why do you think we boozed so much?
Like all my Sims 3 families, they have a lot of pets. The first one was Lewis, a husky-malamute mix.
Lewis belongs to Troy, the oldest of the kids.
Random deer. Wasn't I really good at taking pictures? Great angle, fantastic natural light, ect.
This is Frank, practicing the age-old art of trying to blend into the background.
Deer: I don't see him!
Natalie: And this is how we get to Egypt!
Natalie: ANNIE! MOVE!
Jumping up to the height of a second floor window, without a safety net, is probably something you shouldn't try at home?
Their first vacation was in Egypt. This was probably the first time I really started taking screenshots with the intention of posting them on a blog. I think this actually predates the Throttlewoods slightly.
The whole family shares the Loves the Outdoors trait, so they're an easy group to manage and keep happy on a trip.
Argh, plumbobs. :( Troy is practically married to his guitar, the way Burton Magpie is to the piano.
Natalie: What's that guy over there doing?
Lynn: What guy?
Natalie: That chap over there. It looks like he's taking notes.
Lynn: Probably just a botanist looking for seeds.
Annie: Why does he have a camera? I think he's a spy!
Lynn: Don't be silly. He needs to document his finds of rare plants. Some of them are threatened by extinction, so he can't bring an actual sample.
Troy: So what do we do with the fish we catch? We forgot to bring a portable fire-pit to grill it on.
Lynn: We're not eating it. It's going to be donated to science. One of my colleagues is doing research on how living in the desert affects the live quality of water-dependent species.
Annie: Since we're in Egypt and all, does that mean there are crocodiles in the water?
Natalie: I sure hope not!
Frank: OH GOOD MERCY AND GOODNESS THERE ARE!!!11!
Natalie: Uh... Mom? Suggestions?
Lynn: Splendid! We'll take it to Judy at the lab!
Natalie: Wow, these bones are from some pretty big animals. Dinosaurs are extinct around here, right?
Troy: This is like when we were kids, and went camping in the forest at night. Let's go for a walk in the dark!
Annie: Does anyone remember any of the ghost stories we used to tell?
Troy: There was one about the strangle-hands. It was something about an abandoned station on the London underground, but... I've forgot how it goes.
Frank: I remember one about a guy who got a yellow duck as a pet. It had these empty, black holes where its eyes should have been, so he got it for free from the petshop. And then his kids lost their eyes, and became these empty shells. And you couldn't see the bottom of the holes where their eyes had been.
Annie: Yeah, and that one was true! It was in Australia!
Okay, that's not a botanist.
Annie: So apparently, Mom is famous because she knows Judy, who's a well-known scientist. That's why the photographers have been following us around. She read on the internet this morning that she had peed herself in public, and has a habit of rifling through other people's rubbish bins. Long story short, she's kind of mad right now. Being famous doesn't sound like fun.
Troy: If she's famous for knowning Judy, we'll be famous too, for being her kids.
Annie: Oh no!
Frank: Yess! One more for science!
Lynn: I'm supposed to have peed myself in the bar at Disco Victoria. I'll never live it down.
There was no fire-pit to cook on at Water-in-the-Sands, so they relocated to the camp on the upper riverbank.
Frank: Canned showers are happiness! :D
Natalie: Whoooo! It smells like lemon and Coca-Cola!
Annie: I'll shower at the basecamp tomorrow.
Yay, great picture. Aaron made breakfast, and then they went home.
When someone returns to Sunset Valley after a vacation, they always reappear at the end of the road near the Wolffs' house.
This is Meeka, BTW.
And so concludes the first adventure with the Rileys. After this I used the Master Controller to strip them of their celebrity status, because having the paparazzi around all the time was OLD.
Now that Imgur is free, I found some of my oldest pictures. This is the first screenshot I took in this installation of the game, I think.
Frank is a private investigator in Twinbrook. One of his cases was JB's stubbed toes.
Troy always grows up with this hair, poor guy.
Annie riding a horse for the first time, in Appaloosa Plains.
Their living room looks almost like the one in Sunset Valley.
The two horses they adopted in that hood. I can't remember their names.
The wild horses in Appaloosa Plains are the best looking pack, I think.
There's also an actual appaloosa in the pack, but this is the only picture I have of it.
I probably have no other Sims that have gone through as many incarnations and as much plastic surgery as the members of this family. These pictures are from back when I couldn't make TS3-Sims worth a darn. x(
