C15. - 2 New Green Babies
Caryl & Celeste had been buiding their friendship since the twins moved off to college; Caryl knew that this girl had captured her oldest son's heart and would soon be a member of the family. Saturday, after her shift at the post office, Celeste had come over for dinner & had been complaining that her apartments had gone condo recently. She wasn't sure if she could afford to buy into the new unit, but otherwise she would have to find a new place to live. Caryl was suddenly struck with a brilliant idea. She offered Celeste free room & board if she would move in & help take care of the new baby - the young girl jumped at the chance to move in with her new family & the Parker-Scott house had a new member.
The big day finally came - it was a quiet Sunday morning, everyone had been up early, getting cleaned up and getting breakfast on the table. Tad had gone back to bed after his pancakes, because he was just exhausted all the time. Abraham and Angus invited some friends over and Caryl was working on her next masterpiece when the quiet house was shaken by screams coming from the master bedroom.
"Honey - come quick - and don't let the kids see this - I'm a mess! I can't believe AAAUUUGGGH how bad this hurts! What the... hey!"
"That was amazing - look what I dropped! Wait - I have an unexplainable urge to take this green baby upstairs. Don't ask me why, the nursery is on the ground floor. It just seems to go with the carpet upstairs better."
"And look what happens when I set down the first one, and spin again - honey - check this out! Here's another one - and I think they're identical! Awwwww - they're so cute, I think this one has your eyes."
*Caryl to self* "(ok hon - that's not possible!) Good job babe - let's just get them cleaned up & order another crib, K?"
*meanwhile, downstairs - *
"Angus - come over here & Smustle with me - I got to show you my new moves!"
"OK - I'm so happy, I feel like dancing right here in the kitchen!"
"Little Dude - that is SO not right!"
"I know - but I'm so cute - don't you just love me?! And I'm not the baby anymore!"
C14. - Thoughts on Abduction
“Hello? Miss Sim Goddess?”
“Yes Caryl?”
“I thought you might be lurking around here. Tad told me all about you, and at first I thought he was losing it. You know he’s not speaking to you; that whole Alien Abduction thing really pissed him off. He keeps going on about how you’re watching everything & how could you let that happen to him.
Well?”
“Caryl, you know how Tad has always wanted a big family? And how you, to date, have bore 6 beautiful and healthy children for him?”
“Yes, but what do you mean, to date?”
“Don’t worry about that now, what I’m getting at is that perhaps Tad has been given a wonderful opportunity to now experience what you’ve gone through. Besides, while I do have some say in the workings of your world, I assure you that I have no control over the appearance (or lack thereof) of aliens.”
“ No control over aliens, I see.
Back up a shake there – what do you mean - what I’ve been through? & what does this have to do with my children? Are they coming back? You know, Angus is terrified that he’ll be abducted too!” (note: they all do carry the fear that Tad will be abducted again)
“Calm your knishes, girl – it doesn’t have anything to do with your brood. Let’s just say that Tad may need to borrow some of those maternity shirts of yours. And he’ll be a little run down and very hungry for the next few months.”
“He’s what… & borrow my maternity …
OH MY GOD.
They’ve impregnated my husband?! **smirk**
That’s impossible – he can’t carry a child. Well, if any man could do it, it figures it would be Tad, he’s such a good father.”
“That’s right. Look upon this as a great blessing – Thadeus is such a fine specimen of fatherhood that other species have heard of his greatness and come to investigate, so to speak.”
“Is there child support involved? A monthly stipend or state support? I assume that someone will take financial responsibility for this?”
“Lets just say that any medical costs will be covered, and I suppose you could apply for some sort of grant. For now, let’s just be supportive of him in his condition. This could be prime material for your next novel you know – then you could hit the circuit, do the talk shows, it could be really Big.”
(Caryl is momentarily stunned by the huge dollar signs dancing before her eyes)
“Caryl?”
“ummhmm?” **imagining her own series of kids books, with alien teddy bears**
“I’m always here if you have more questions, or just want to talk, ok? One of these days, we’ll have a good chat & I’ll explain the Legacy rules to you, then it might make more sense.”
“Uh huh. *mutters to self* I bet this would get me on the Today show, definitely Matt Lauer interview-quality stuff here.“
(editors note: Tad is currently in his third trimester, and I'm searching my baby name book for "astral" type names for the birth tonight, more pictures to come!)
C13b. - Sim State too
Just as promised, the twins were both inducted into the secret society on Campus. Arch went first, right in the middle of one of his famous toga parties.
He lost no time in making a few new friends, and then went home to get some sleep before his final the next day.
Alex was "kidnapped" the next night, right in the middle of writing term paper in his pj's. Actually, he was quite thankful for the break. And the new suit.
He also made a few new friends, flirting a little just to test the waters!
The twins continue to do well at Sim state, and Adam and Aemilia are frequent guests at their parties. They've both become members, but prefer to continue to live in their respective dorms. Yes, Aemilia got lonely living in her little rented house and managed to find an empty dorm room in her second semester.
c13. - Sim State again
Alex and Archie have been study hard & keeping their grades up, despite the troupe of coeds coming & going thru the frat house. After he Aced his Sophomore year, Archie decided it was time for a bit of romance. He had had Celeste up to the house several times, but he wanted to show her just how grown up he really was; it was time for a real date.
Of course, right off the bat, they both just wanted to play & tickle - real grown up Alex! But the date was going well, so they moved inside for a little one on one action.
A little dancing, a little flirting and Celeste was putty in his hands. She finally admitted her true feelings and he poured his heart out. He had been in love with her for years, and no amount of higher education was going to change the way he felt about her.
*editors note* I don't know what's up with the look on his face here - maybe she stepped on his toes while dancing, maybe he's just not sure why she brought her mail pouch with her!
They got a little hot & heavy on the dance floor and decided to take their feelings to a more private place. Archie suggested going back to the Frat house, but Celeste didn't want to wait another moment. They ran to the car.
Needless to say it was a dream date for both of them!
*editor's note #2 - she did come by later with a bouquet of roses, but no gift. Are NPC's so broke that they can't afford a nice potted plant??*
C12b. - More photos
A few days latter and here's the doting dad pausing in the middle of his skilling to stop and give his youngest son a snuggle and a tickle. Just what the little tyke needed before bed.
Here's Tad, fawning over baby Angus, he does make beautiful babies. They never have redecorated the nursery, poor Aemelia had to grow up with the blue crib and dinosaur wallpaper.
C12.a - photos
Can you blame Caryl? Tad's still hot!
C12. - Another Birthday
this is Angus (new car baby!) going from baby to Toddler with some help from Caryl, still in her PJ's. From left to right that's Archie (oldest twin), Thadeus, Abraham (child), maid, Caryl & Angus, Adam and Alex (twin) in green. I'm playing this legacy in my Veronaville, so I'm still trying to stick to all Shakesperean names. And I had decided to go with an alphabetical naming system to help me remember what generation I'm in before I read about the alphabet challenge. Of course, with the way gen. 1 is having children, I may never get to gen. 3!
Aemilia missed this little brother's birthday party because she was working at the lab (she's an over-achiever of course). She doesn't have many hours left before she joins her older brothers at Sim State. Alex & Archie want her to join them at the frat house and Adam has told her how cool his dorm is & how many new friends he's making, but Aemilia is dreaming of a quiet place of her own; she's had her fill of living with a handful of boys all her life. With all the scholarships she's managed to earn, she should be able to afford it.
Abraham was very happy to have a little brother in the house, he was tired of being the baby. And the older siblings were all very excited when they heard the news, though they were a little grossed out. Archie and Alex ribbed Dad about not leaving mom alone for more than 5 minutes, and Adam was taking notes, as he wanted a big family some day too. Tad told his older boys "You keep the mama happy & everyone stays happy, that's just the best advice my dad ever gave me."
Caryl over heard them, and just smiled to herself, knowing that Tad had done everything he could to make her happy, and she
was happy. Even though her maternity PJ's were thread bare from the constant use. She knew from the beginning that Tad wanted a big family, and frankly, the extra maternity leave gave her the time she needed to work on her novel. She had sold several paintings already, but she couldn't quite finish the book. She hadn't told anyone in the family about yet, but she was hoping to finish it in the next few days & then start shopping for a publisher.
She was starting a wedding fund, and any proceeds would add to that. With the twins & Adam (hopefully) graduating in a few years, there would be weddings and grandchildren & she needed to start planning now. With 6 children, the bills could add up quickly. And she would be ready, she always was. Thank goodness all of her children were bright enough to get full scholarships, she & Tad hadn't had to touch their college emergency fund yet, but there was no point in waiting until the last minute.
C11. - First "hello" pix!
I think this is Abraham's teen transition - with all the boys Caryl's had, its' hard to keep track when they're in their school uniforms.
*note from editor* I just signed up for "Hello!", so maybe this blog will look better - more pix, less drivel! we'll see...
Poor Amelia has had her nose stuck in her books (and the surgical machine and the candy maker) so much that I just realized that I don't have many shots of their one & only girl so far. That's her in the lab coat cheering on Abraham. Many days pass by quickly in this household, the twins and Adam come back from college on a regular basis to get their laundry done & share a home cooked meal with their folks. Tad's always playing and joking with them. And the younger siblings take advantage of their presence by asking them for lessons on the various skill-builders on the lot.
"UM..Miss Narrator-thingy"
"Yes Tad? -and that's Miss Sim Goddess to you"
"All this fuss over the kids - and I can understand it, they're great kids, but you know me & Caryl have a life too"
"Yes Tad, and mostly it revolves around your kids, according to your aspirations"
"But you haven't even mentioned the present that I bought Caryl when I was promoted to Business Tycoon, or the garage I finally finished and the upstairs addition on the house."
"Feel free to toot your own horn, Tad"
"Thanks Miss SG. Well, I don't normally mind about my work much, but I did reach the top of the business ladder a few days back, and since so many of our early years together were pretty lean, I splurged and bought Caryl the new sports car that she'd been eyeing. And then I hurried to finish the garage, to keep the birds off.."
"Tad - aren't you skipping over a bit? Like how Caryl thanked you for that car??"
"What - you
saw that - damn, you do get around! I thought the windows were too steamed up for anyone to notice **grins**."
"I see all, child. Get used to it. Don't worry, as usual, I forgot to take any pictures."
"Pictures?! You have a camera up there? Please, my kids are all here!
Well, yeah, we did have to initiate the new car, I mean, that's what keeps us young, break up the every day, so to speak. And Caryl's never been a SHY bird! Did I ever tell you about our first date? I knew I loved her the moment she dropped her drawers to join me in that hottub downtown. And then we.."
"Enough son, I was there, remember? And this site's PG, so tone it down. You've got nothing to prove here, the testosterone in this house stands on it's own. But aren't you leaving something else out? Like a little musical interlude?"
"What, that nusery song again? I thought I'd just left the radio on...ooh you mean.. again? Awesome! I still got it! **puffs chest** I thought Caryl was bloating, but I assumed she'd been eating too much birthday cake again.
Lady, I mean Miss SG, I hope you've got a long list of A names!"
"Don't you mind about me. If you're quite done here, get your heiny back in the house and make some dinner so your sweet wife can get some rest."
"Yes, Ma'am! And thanks!"
C10. - Back at the ranch
Life back at the Parker-Scott household seemed quiet after the twins moved off to college. Adam was working most afternoons and there just wasn't the same traffic of kids tromping through every day. Adam studied hard and went out regularly with his friends, always asking permission first, so there would be no trouble. Tad was spending most of his evenings gazing at the heavens and didn't seem to mind what Adam was up to. Adam was the good kid - no worries there.
Aemilia would occasionally bring home a friend, but mostly she was interested in studying. She wanted to be the top scientist one day & was looking forward to maxing out her cooking and logic skills. Sometimes she found a little time to play pool and dance with her friends, but not often. One of the friends she brought home from school was Mallory Mace and she & Caryl would often spend an hour or two together chatting over the chess board or hottubbing. Now that her kids were grown, and Caryl was working nights, she was lonely during the day.
She soon had another reason to stay home, but spent most of her time sleeping. Tad had indeed worked his magic and Caryl was pregnant again. She was secretly hoping for a little girl to paly with again - someone a little more interested in playing dress up & dolls with again. It was not to be; Caryl gave birth to a handsome son, whom they named Abraham, and once again, Tad was thrilled. Maybe he could start his own basketball team now!
C9. - Meanwhile, at Sim State
Archie quickly rented the biggest house he could afford and he easily talked his twin into moving in with him. After a quick game of punch you, punch me, Archie raced into their new house and called to buy a charter for his new fraternity. Alex went in and made up a batch of cereal for all the friends that Arch was inviting over. You can guess that all Alex wanted to do was go to class, and study & all Archie wanted was for all his teen friends to come to college with him. He invited over several of his closest friends, gave them a grand tour of the campus and showed them how much fun college life was.
Needless to say the twins lives got put on hold temporarily while the town's goddess worked on several other families, getting Archies' friends studied up & sent off to college. Fortunatly, several of Caryl's family friends were college townies, so the boys had already established relationships with them as teens. (Caryl had never explained why she had knew so many college boys - as she had never attended university, but it was just one of those questions about her past that Tad never raised.)
Archie had another party, invited over some of his mom's college buddies and started recruiting members for his new frat house. Alex studied hard, Archie influenced well and both boys survived their freshman year with straight A's. Archie had moved in 2 townies, who barely brought in enough money to buy their own beds, but they both had several friends to throw into the ever-increasing pot of frat friends. Archie also kept in touch with his favorite mail-carrier, having her up to the house several times. She was starting to believe that his school-boy crush was developing into true feelings.
Both boys also kept in touch with their family, how could they not, with Tad calling them every day to check on them. They also included Adam and Aemilia on their party list occasionally, making sure that their roomies kept their distance from the princess. Archie was all over campus, showing up at every frat house and dorm, meeting new people and shaking hands. Quite often, Alex would tag along with him, but tired of the constant partying and would usually duck off to complete an assignment in a quiet corner. Little did they know it, but they were making friends in all the right places and would soon be inducted into the campus' secret society.
*stay tuned for blazer pix soon*
C8. - speaking of love...
The boys have all done their fair share of flirting and checking out the neighborhood girls. Archie has found most of the neighborhood teens to be cute, but immature. He has however, kept up his friendship with the cute girl that delivers the mail. She's rejected his advances, knowing that he clearly has a lot of life to experience yet, but she always slows down in front of their house, secretly hoping that he'll come out and visit with her.
Alex has had his nose in the books too much to really notice any of the girls yet, but his brother keeps trying to set him up. His favorite chess partner is a cute little cowgirl that has been a friend of the family for years. She was one of the first people that Tad met in town and she's been in the house his whole life. Now that he's maturing, he's starting to realize that she's not really so much older than he is. Archie & Alex throw one last neighborhood bash and call the cab to go off to Sim State to fulfill their dreams of being the first Parker-Scotts to complete University.
Adam has become an overachiever, but he's still got a lot of skills to master before the cab comes for him. Aemilia has made a handful of friends, and is looking forward to growing up. Caryl has used up the last of her vacation days from her Athletic career, and popped around various careers before deciding that she really wants to put her creativity to good use & be a criminal mastermind.
Tad decided to throw a blow-out birthday party for his princess, and invited the twins back from campus to join the fun. Aemilia grow into a beautiful young girl, rolling a knowledge aspiration like her brother, and Alex showed just how exhausted he is from all his studies (photo). Tad hoped to duplicate his last party experience, but Caryl was steering clear of the hottub. After a bit of flirting and dancing however, she was a bit more receptive to the idea of another baby. Hate to have an empty crib for too long! But Tad was going to have to wait until she had a few days off work.
C7. - Adam grows up & a new baby arrives
Adam survived childhood, and rolled a family aspiration, just like his dad. Fortunately, after hanging around his big brother's friends for the past few years, he had made friends with several of the local girls and had his eye set on an old-fashioned sweetie named Aravis. He celebrated his birthday with his first kiss, and is constantly asking his parent's permission to go out with her. She is encouraging him to study hard for college so they can go together, but he really has no desire to study his skills.
Archie & Alex have their bags packed and their skills ready for college, so they're spending their last few days dancing, playing pool and their nights staring at the stars. (yes, 2 telescopes on the upstairs balcony) But no abductions yet & they can't seem to get the dancing or pool scholarships either. They have both gotten jobs and been promoted, spiking Caryl's happy button to have her boys be Over-achievers.
Caryl did give birth to a baby girl, which all of the boys dote on. Little Aemilia is a beautiful baby & Tad can't keep his hands off her. Caryl's finally convinced Tad to pose for her, as she's sold several masterpiece paintings already, and wants a permanent reminder of her true love in his prime (she should have convinced him to put on a tie!). Tad spends his share of time stargazing also, building his logic skills for that coveted Tycoon position.
C6. - Caryl's promoted!
The boys do love their toys, and Alex can't get over what some of the girls downtown are wearing!
Life progresses at the Parker-Scott house; Adam has grown into a very nice, happy child, though he's somewhat over-shadowed by the twins, who have taken the neighborhood by storm. Almost every day, one of them brings home a friend from school, so the boys have gotten to know most of the Veronaville teens. With Tad's last promotion, he bought them a pool table for the back patio, so the teens have a place to hang out & have fun & not just go hanging about street corners, kicking over trash cans.
Caryl's made her LTW, so Tad's been begging her to try for a girl. He wants to hear the pitter patter of little feet again, and she just wants to make sure the twins get full scholarships. Of course, Tad's "misplaced" Caryl's birth control pills, so they're living dangerously until she can get her prescription refilled. And after serving up a platter of hamburgers for one of Archie's parties, Tad convinced her to join him for some fun in the hottub. Caryl thought that the bubbles might help as a deterent to Tad's busy little swimmers, but she thought wrong. The next day, she found herself losing her pancakes after everyone went off to school. At least she was off for the next few days, so she wasn't really missing work. And it would allow her some extra time to work on that novel.
C5. - Archie & Alex become teens
Archie spun first, as was his birth rite, and decided that popularity was his gig - perfect for his plans to found a new fraternity once he gets to college. Alex spun next, determined to make the acquisition of knowledge his main goal in life. As they both wanted to hit the town and buy some new gadgets, Dad sent them to the local strip mall, with a grocery list and a generous clothing allowance. Evidently Tad had been giving them some driving lessons, as they had no problem with the family car.
But my worst fears were realized, as they are both sporting their mother's generous beak. Aside from that, they are fairly handsome and have about half of the skills needed for their full scholarships. Still, no abjuctions, but it's early.
C4. - Raising the twins
Alex and Archie did get accepted into Private school that weekend, just in time to get Caryl platinum so she could dash off to work after dropping her third baby boy, Adam. She had aspired to go to work every day of her maternity leave, but she spent her time well, maxing out her creativity levels so she could start painting in her spare time. She's also aquired all of the skills that she needs to achieve her LTW of making Hall of Famer, so she's gone back on her birth control pills until she gets promoted & is perma-platinum.
Meanwhile, Thadeus is enjoying his boys. He delights in playing with the twins and snuggling the new baby. He never complains about midnight feedings or repeated games
of red hands. The twins are both A+ students and looking forward to growing up. I'm afraid they're going to have their mother's nose - she's definitely going to need the plastic surgery machine as soon as possible!
C-3. Starting their family
April 21, 2006
Tad & Caryl did indeed conceive their third child that night. Despite horrific morning sickness, Caryl managed to make it into work and get promoted again before her maternity leave kicked in. Tad’s a bit short in the logic department so he won’t be promoted yet, but he’s off all weekend so he can work on some skill building & leave his poor sweetie alone. Alex loves his piano lessons, so he’s almost hit his 8th skill point in creativity already, while Archie would rather sit at the chess board for hours - maybe he could teach his dad a thing or two. Tad had a pool built in the backyard when the boys grew up from toddlers, but nobody is really drawn to it, this whole crew is a little short on the active scores.
Everybody wants the twins to get into Private school, but Caryl hasn’t had a chance to practice her Pork Chops yet, and right now she’s too tired to throw together anything but pancakes in the morning and Tad does up a batch of spaghetti at night. Maybe if the twins bring their grades up a bit, we’ll invite the headmaster over this weekend. Tad should stop at the store tonight to make sure that fridge is well stocked & maybe pick up a new espresso machine.
Editors Note: I did know that Caryl was the Diva & would bring in the $$, but she's also the only female that he had great chemistry with right off the bat. I also hadn't read the updated Nightlife Legacy points, but that's OK, I'll take the -1 point for moving her in, because they could afford to put up a decent house before the twins came!
C2. - Honeymoon phase
April 20th
Any way, Tad and Caryl have settled into married life, poor Caryl burns everything the first time she tries to cook it, so there's no danger of Tad getting fat (no fires, just black food, thank you). Tad worked his way up through the ranks until he earned the Obstacle Course and then decided that he didn't like getting up so early and got himself a respectable office job. The blessed day (actually middle of the night) finally arrived and the stork brought
2 new bundles of joy into the Parker-Scott household. Little Alex and Archie were born and Caryl immediately wanted to hire a nanny; such maternal instincts. ;)
Now that she's unencumbered, she's found herself a career in the athletic field, and has been working her way quickly up the ranks. She better run fast, because if Tad catches her, she's going to be preggers again. Tad is working his way up the corporate ladder and making friends in all the right places. He's thrown himself into fatherhood, teaching the tykes to walk and use the potty, etc. and drops exhausted into bed each night. The boys have been enjoying the heck out of their Wobbly Wabbit toys (must have 2) and don't care much for their baths or the nanny. But they'll both grow into happy children tomorrow at the stroke of 6, so they won't have to see much of her any more. And nobody needs to learn to walk or talk tonight & Tad's not quite so tired - watch out Caryl - those cribs won't be empty for long...
Note again - Usually, my fortune-aspiring sims don't give a hang about having babies, but I had just gotten Caryl up for a midnight snack before the expected delivery & she spun the aspiration to have a baby. Left-clicked that box faster than anything!
C1.- just getting started
I've started this blogging thing in order to write my own Legacy family story. I'm quite new to the whole Sims publishing world, so forgive me if for the shaky start. I'm going to have to learn how to get my in-game pix loaded up here too. I just started my Legacy family a few weeks ago ( I know, I'm late for everything!!)
April 19, 2006
We begin the Legacy challenge with Thadeus Parker-Scott, a family Sim with little more than a bookshelf & a couch. Before he even put up walls, Thadeus bought himself a desk, a chair, a cheap computer and a phone. He got himself a job in the Army (they hire anybody!) and then called a cab to head downtown and troll for babes. He spent a fun afternoon meeting new people, playing pool, relaxing in the hot tubs and bowling (which he sucks at with zero body skill). Fortunately the 50’s diner makes a mean chef salad, because this guy doesn’t have any food at home. He flirted up a cute cowgirl and a bowling babe with pigtails forever, but no one really caught his eye.
Exhausted from his travels, he was grilling up some hotdogs for some new friends at the Museum when SHE walked in – Caryl Carlson, and they knew it was love at first (or second) sight. Tad was exhausted, but he got her number, promised to call the next day & grabbed a cab home for some much needed rest.
Tuesday, Tad proved himself an able recruit & got promoted, so he could afford a few more luxuries, he upgraded his bed and had himself a good nap. True to his word, he called Caryl that night for their first date. He knew his way around Sim Lanes, so they headed there for a fun evening of dining, dancing and a little first-date photo op. They were both crushing on each other and couldn’t get enough of the playing and flirting – isn’t that the fun of dating? He also learned that she was turned on by facial hair & cologne, so he stopped at the corner store on his way home for a little of the smelly stuff, and vowed not to shave.
Wednesday was a day off, so Tad used the time to build a few friendships whilst gathered around the Yummy Channel. (That shows just how cute this guy is because my VeronaVille playable sims usually wouldn’t sit still for a minute on a dilapidated loveseat, watching the Yummy channel on a small screen, out on a patch of grass.) Oddly enough, Caryl called him that very afternoon for an outing – he jumped at the opportunity to see his lady love again. I think she was testing the waters, because she brought along a few friends for security – I think at least 8 sims piled out of that cab. Fortunately, there were enough pinball machines and pool tables at the corner strip mall to keep everyone happy while Tad stole a few minutes alone with Caryl for a bit of flirting and smooching. Tad offered to cook up a plate of his famous hotdogs for the crowd and they had a good outing, not great, but Tad just had to use the potty & he didn’t really care what anyone but Caryl wanted. Tad hung around for a bit of slow dancing afterwards and made best friends with Caryl – after only 2 days – go figure.
Due to the time change between downtown and Tad’s house, he was able to go home, get a good nap, a quick shower, admire his recently grown ‘stash and goatee and still call Caryl out for their second date before it got too late to call. They headed for Landoste, where they wined and dined in style. Tad couldn’t help himself & popped the question half way through dinner. Caryl enthusiastically accepted his proposal (and the ring!) & after she finished her dinner, she was quite responsive to someveryclose slow dancing and hot making out. He invited her home and after a bit of woohoo (he had to sell back his computer to get a double bed), they married quietly in the front yard of their mostly empty 5X5 lot. They consummated their nuptials and Caryl’s now preggers with the first of the Parker-Scott progeny. Fortunately, Caryl arrived with a dowry, so they are able to put up some walls and lay a few floor tiles before the arrival of their first born.
Now, Tad wants to marry off 6 children and Caryl ($$) wants to be a Hall of Famer – but how will she ever get the chance to go to work if Tad won’t let her have a moments peace in the bedroom?? He better start earning some decent money to buy his lady love all the trinkets that she’s dreaming of…
