Mac's Families

This is the story of two of Ari's creations [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. She was originally slated to marry Patrick Swayze, but Ari's self-sim (which you can find [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]) beat her to it. Brendan's a pirate, but was more than happy to make Zoe (a dancing girl - can you tell?  ) into an honorary pirate. She even learned to say "Arrrrr!"    


What do you do with a dancing girl? Get her dancing!


Zoe and Brendan had a little girl, Ruth. When she was a teenager she met Jeff Gique, the son of another of Ari's creations [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and a non-Sugah sim, the celeb Jennifer Grey. He was pretty shy, but with a little encouragement from her, they had a very tender first kiss




They met again in college. He asked for her hand and she accepted...



But every party has a pooper   and a professor just had to walk in to the picture to disturb the festivities  


They had a very quiet wedding - just the two of them. But that didn't mean she didn't get to wear a beautiful wedding dress - doesn't she look radiant!


Ruth and Jeff have had a little girl, Georgina, who's now grown into a toddler. With 3 of 4 grandparents created by Ari, she should be a real stunner when she grows up!


Here's a picture of Ruth with her mom and dad.


To Ari: for your many, many lovely simmies!

Mac, thank you so much for getting this project off to such a great start!
I have to reiterate what a beautiful couple Zoe and Brendan make (aye, matey!   ).
And their daughter, Ruth, is such a lovely girl! WOW!
Yes, she does look radiant in her simple, but elegant, wedding gown.  

I can not wait to see what Georgina looks like when she grows up.
I have no doubt the proud grandparents, Zoe and Brendan, are thrilled!

The last pic of Brendan, Ruth and Zoe is one of my faves.
And I absolutely adore the snapshot of Ruth smooching on her newborn babe Georgina.  

 

GASP!  Mac!  I'm verklempt! I am so honored that you play my sims in your neighborhood.  
Ruth turned out beautiful!  I can't wait to see how the baby turns out, as well.  
Thank you so much for being so supportive!

Ari's sims always have such gorgeous offspring!

Great family. Wonderful seeing the generations!

Ruth is gorgeous! I'm sure Georgina will be just as gorgeous as she grows up; she has wonderful genes.

On to another family. Ulli (one of the wonderful creators on this site) and Huor, one of her creations. (When all else fails, create your spouse - gives a whole new meaning to "Meet your Maker"  )
Ulli can be found in [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] thread and Huor is [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].
With a little help from the "Neighborhood Administrator" they were a perfect match.
BTW, later on we'll see Toni hooked up with one of her creations!  

Mac, you're on a roll! I love it!
Thank you so much for your continuing participation in our SP Offspring Project.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't Huor Ar-Feiniel one of Elle's Santa's Helpers?  

UlliSim and Huor (the handsome Welsh poet) make a handsome couple.
I like the name Bronwynne, btw. She DID grow up a very (Maxis-esque) serious looking teen.  
I see potential in her big bright eyes and pleasant bone structure.

Oops! Huor is by Elle, not Ulli. Then Bronwynne is very lucky to have parents from two brilliant creators!

We'll have to see how Bronwynne turns out as an adult. Although she seems to have a scientific interest, with those cheekbones she could become a sultry super-model!

Nice family.

I´m not surprised Ulli got a daughter. I have three in RL.

I can see you choosed the right zodiac sign for my first born. Ida my oldest in RL is a Scorpio.

Ulli and Huor's Bronwynne is a lovely mix of her parents' genes. I like her slight bit of seriousness, and that she appears to be a bit of a dreamer as well.

Ulli is at the top of the Sims2 Creator Career (doh) and is Knowledge/Gemini while Huor is at the top of the Poet career

Ooh, Mac, where did you find those careers? This is the first game I've tried with custom careers, and I'm finding it fun to have more options after all these years.

You can find quite a few at MTS2 here . lientebollemeis, in particular, has made quite a career out of creating careers.  She's also created a whole bunch of delicious-sounding subs, based on a RL shop near her home in the Belgium. (I gotta visit! ).

EliseLuong made a few good careers, but her website seems to have disappeared.

The main problem with custom careers is that they don't have a LTW. I have (yet another hack) that allows me to choose a Sim's LTW. For non-Maxis careers I choose 100K Simoleans, or 20 Best Friends. If the career requires a lot of skills at the top, I choose Max Out 7 skills, get the Sim to the top, then fill in the blanks. The only use for a Gypsy's magic lamp is for peace of mind, which also gives permanent platinum.

Thanks, Mac. I'll spend a little time checking those out. I've downloaded several careers from MTS, but I guess I've never looked at all 13 pages.

... What are the odds???

Actually, to be a bit pedantic, around one in twelve.

I KNEW you were going to answer that question!!!
I almost answered it myself, but wanted to see if you would!

TOO FUNNY, Mac!!!!

Toni's [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and Ari's [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] got engaged and later married


They had a little girl, Shelly Winters (so named because of a novel that super-creative Ari wrote) the family surname is "Trout" for ilikefishfood  


Darcy teaches Shelly a nursery rhyme


And dad gets into the act at bath time


Here's Shelly as a child. I don't know where she got her golden blonde hair, mom has black hair and dad has brown. Gotta lose those Groucho Marx eyebrows, too! I'm a bit disappointed, though. Darcy is one of the absolute loveliest FemSimmes ever and Nicklas is a pretty good looking guy, too -  Shelly is OK, but...   Maybe Shelly will turn into a stunning teenager.


to Ari and Toni for their wonderful Sims!

Yaaaay, Mac! Another SP created couple and their offspring!!!  

I actually think Shelly has potential.
She's inherited stunning blue-gray eyes from her gorgeous folks.
She has lovely skin, too.
I honestly believe the thing that's throwing us is those "Groucho Marx Brows" as you've said.
That's just a quick trip in front of the mirror for a mini makeover!
Once you change her eyebrows, I'm thinking we'll see quite the improvement in this one.  

If you decide to give her new brows, DO show an after snapshot, as I'd love to see it, Sir Mac.

The poor kid had just drifted off to dreamland (she had quite a day!) but I woke her up and put her in front of a mirror and gave her new brows (bye bye Groucho  ) and a new "do". She might not turn out as gorgeous as her mom, but I think she'll turn a few heads.    

I agree with Sugah; Shelley has potential. Sometimes the Sims aren't so fabulous at certain stages of their lives, but still turn out gorgeous as adults. I've had the opposite happen, too. Some of the Maxis Uni students aren't bad, but are a little less attractive when they age into adults.

Those original eyebrows were really something! I wonder if she's meant to have dark hair and that's why she had the dark eyebrows. Sometimes if a hair doesn't have a corresponding child stage, it will go to some Maxis default. I've noticed many of those defaults are blonde.

Oh, wow, Mac!
I can truly see Shelly's potential even moreso now!
She has such gorgeous baby blues and great skin, as I said earlier.
I am really looking forward to seeing her as a teen and I agree with you...
I think she'll be turning a few heads soon enough, just like her lovely mama.

'Tis true, Cher.

I appreciate your ongoing participation in this project, Mac.  

Yep, Shelleys makeover, especially the eyebrows truly does show the future potential. Lets' think positive!!

Sugah and Sandy: If I can think positive about Agatha (and I do  ) I can think positive about anybody!  

That, most certainly, can NOT be denied, Captain!

If I may claim half of the praise here, Shelly is gorgeous!  

About the hair: I packaged Nicklas with a blonde hair, so maybe somehow the game is still reading those genetics.
