The World's Slowest Sims Player
RainbowTigress:
Brandi was a wonderful mother in my game. She raised 11 children, two of which were twins. I felt sorry for her sometimes, working full time and caring for all those kids, but her husband and older children helped out. She was pregnant so much that she stayed at one career level forever! She finally made it to Mayor of Sim City, where she stayed until right before her husband died, when she got a bad chance card and got fired. :( Then she decided to go into the culinary field, where she is now Celebrity Chef. She had the podium from her politics career and coached all her kids in building charisma. Lazy? She rarely ever had a chance to sit down, until now that her children are all grown up and married.
My Cassandra was the same way, a very loving mother and wife. I made her a CAS husband who was the brother of the Sim I made for Brandi. She found out what kind of sim Don Lothario was when she caught him cheating, and she dumped his sorry ass after she beat him up. She occasionally has a fear of him dying, but it's hard to get over your first love. Other than that, she has never shown any interest in other men.
It's strange how the same sims can end up different ways in different games!
ZephyrZodiac:
It certainly is! But I'm afraid every version of Cassandra I've played, she's been the same! And I get sick of her turning up after work dressed as Captain Hero! Not to mention walking around town in the costume as well - she's only a Lieutenant or Detective or something in my present game! And Dustin brought Beau up, and Keanu! - not once but in every game I've played! Sometimes Brandi got the "taught to" memory, but only because Dustin had got them almost there, and she just finished it - had to do that to get her out of the red!

I couldn't just play one house! I eventually get bored with one family and have to move on to another, then later down the line I'll play that house again!
One house, two houses, four houses....I'm way too ADD for that. :o
I counted up last night. I have 19 active houses with 42 Sims, five of them begun as game born Sims. Virtually all of the houses and individual Sims have their own story lines....no wonder I'm so slow. Takes quite awhile to take pictures of all of that burnt chillli! :D
-----------------
I love hearing how other people's Maxis Sims turned out! My Daniel Pleasant is a very sweet elder who married Kaylynn and had one more beautiful daughter, Penelope. Mary Sue & Daniel broke up and both moved out (oops, I didn't realize what I was doing) shortly after my game started, leaving the twins on their own. Lilith & Angela (who has turned out great) had to start getting along to survive.
Daniel is my only romance Sim who has no problem being faithful (albeit to the maid he was seeing on the side when the game started!)
Mary Sue is a stone cold *itch. She lost her job on a chance card, left her husband and her twins, and became a criminal .... which she is very good at. She's been completely nasty to both of her daughters whenever they've been together, it's appalling. They no longer try. Mary Sue is a fun character, though, because she's completely amoral and a refreshing change from all of my Really Nice People.
Brandi Broke...couldn't stand her. She was a terrible mother. I killed her off, my only Sim death. (Weirdest outbreak of flies...seemingly from nowhere. :D ) Her kids went into the adoption pool where they were adopted by good and loving families.
Mortimer Goth married a lovely CAS elder in one of my key families. Cassandra was upset and moved herself and Alexander out. Since I don't use money cheats, the money order hack was invaluable to give the younger Goths a proper start to life on their own. Goths don't start out life with 20k!
I'm anxious to get back to a number of these story lines, but keeping 42 dang people in sync.....I'm a little slow. (Wait, that was the point, wasn't it....)

What a shame though for Dustin Broke! He'd have lost not only his fathr and mother, but both his brothers too! And he is really good at raising them, although of course he does have to have the nanny! But by the time he's sold the double bed and the pinball machine he's got enough until he leaves school (this was before uni) and gets a job. And since it was before uni, but after the patch, no nanny problems!

My Dustin died when he was still in his teens. I think it may have been because he was too tired to eat. Brandi had an affair with Daniel Pleasant and had a daughter by him, but died in a kitchen fire when Bubbles was still a toddler. (Uni seemed to significantly increase the incidence of kitchen fires. I never bothered with smoke alarms before I installed it, but now they're a necessity.) While her youngest son wasn't old enough to plead for her (Beau was in work) he had the presence of mind to ring the nanny so they didn't go into care. The three of them coped alone for a while, but after Beau went to college Bubbles moved in with her dad and is now being brought up by Dirk and Lilith. My sister's Brandi, meanwhile, is a retired policewoman with nine grandchildren whom she loves dearly. Her Dustin has five children by three different women and is a couple of days off being an elder.
Cassandra is married to Darren Dreamer and they have three sons. They are very happy together and bore me rigid. She didn't have anything to do with her father after his marriage to Dina and completely ignored Alexander too. Alexander has turned out kind of warped. He spends his time attacking college mascots with his SimVac and ringing up secret society members.
