The Larsons of Rainbow Valley - Maxis Taste Dare #26

Jan 19, 2012 20:45

Once upon a time, in a Sim Bin not so far away, there were twin siblings - Jason and Jodie Larson - who supposedly made money off of parties they threw and/or attended and supposedly saved up enough to buy their own home and business. However, when this Simmer dropped them into a house the first time, they were discovered to be less enterprising ( Read more... )

I enjoyed seeing them get a second chance (I've never really played them either) and got over excited at the Anne of Green Gables reference :)

Aww! Thanks!

I'll admit, I had my moments. The reason I don't play them much (or at all) is because as Sims go, they really are muddle-headed. If left alone, even on free will, Jason and Jodie will just stand around doing nothing. If I don't seriously micro manage them, they die! Again, with free will on! It makes for some frustration on my part.

I did have fun adopting the toddlers, but I fear I've done too many legacies to find 3 toddlers a challenge, so I just let them get married and have more babies.

The struck-out 'work on their farm bit' turned out true, too. By the end of it, they had a huge green house with veggies and 3 fruit trees. Only instead of the kids working it, Jodie did all the farming!

I kept trying to get Jason abducted but it was Donte who did. Jodie did once, too, but not being a male sim, she didn't get pregnant.

I really liked this. It's great that you chose the Larson for the challenge, and I loved what you did with them raising orphan children. Really sweet. :)

I use the Larsons as managers for an orphanage, too!
I have a hopeless unblogged Legacy on my work computer, and the first kids in the legacy were taken away, so they are raised by Jonas and Josefin (as they are called in Swedish) and the nerdy Chister Gieke, who Josefin married.

Chester Gieke, huh? Jodie (Josefin) has a 3-bolt attraction with Malcolm Landgraab in my uberhood. Never thought to put her with Chester.

It was just a whim that made me do it, I wanted to empty the sim bin :)

Ahhh! Well, Chester is my favorite geeky little Sim-Binner. I started a legacy with him once.
