You need real life pet careers.  Get those kitties to work so they can support you like in the sims.  

Work??? Work??? WORK???

Just which RL kitties do you know who would work???

Love Nicks picture with that lighting-his eyes are so green! Love Julia's make-over too-I have always loved that hair! Forest is so cute too!

None, but the sim kitties seem pretty happy getting into the carpool themselves and earning a paycheck.

Lilura's cat/familiar Zara was the major breadwinner of the family for a while, and she seemed happy enough to be a pampered star!

Sandy, I think Nick might turn out to be quite the heart throb! I love Julia's hair, too. I've been dying to use it ever since I downloaded it.

Ari's Jonah and Alyssa had two children together. Both are now adults. I tried to do a collage thing, but I can't figure out how to reduce the size of it to post it here. I'll just give each adult offspring their own page with pictures. I'll do the adult picture first, so you can see how the offspring compares to the parents, then the age progression from baby to young adult.

First up is Nick. I think Jonah and Alyssa have the same eyes. In general, Nick looks more like Alyssa to me. He has her hair color, too. Though hers looks redder, it's binned with the brunette hair.

I had lighting issues, obviously, and picture angle issues, earlier in my game. Sorry for the poor photos!

Julia, Jonah and Alyssa's daughter and last child. I see a little more of Jonah in her than I do in Nick.

Wow - they both turned out very nicely. What a treat to see my simmies' offspring

I use those infant defaults, too - I just love them. I switch them out constantly, lol. Currently, I'm using Primrose for boys and Gypsy Rose for girls.

Every few babies, I try to remember to switch colors on those outfits. They're the cutest things, and I was thrilled to find the set where you can have different outfits for girls and boys. I'm easily excited, I guess. I'm currently using Steel for boys and Red Wine for girls.

I know what you mean!  I just love seeing the different colors

At least it doesn't take much to make us happy, right?  

Lenny Kravitz and Lilura Nightshade had two kids. The walls in their house really affect the lighting and thus the pictures.



The oldest is Astraea.







She ended up with Elijah Price, oldest child of Avett and Malika.

They had three children, Kendall

Hayden

and Sawyer

Tanit is the second and last child of Lenny Kravitz and Lilura Nightshade. Adult Tanit is one of my favorites in the Offspring Project. I didn't get a picture of her as a baby.






You can see some of her tattoos in the pictures; she inherited Lenny's skin. Tanit got in a relationship with Julia (Jonah and Alyssa's daughter) when they were teens, and as adults they are still in that relationship. Neither of them ever even looked at another sim.

I remember these sims! Are you still playing these families currently? I really like Astraea and Tanit's styles. Julia is a really pretty sim.

I played this while I was setting up what I think of as my permanent hood. I played until the original offspring were all out of uni, and since I play in rotations, some of them were out for several rotations before the youngest graduated. Once my permanent hood was set up, I started playing it and haven't played any others.

I'm going to backtrack a bit since I didn't say what's happened with Nick, Jonah and Alyssa's son, since he became an adult. His is the first post to show the parents and the offspring throughout the various life stages. The first generation of offspring were all heterosexual except for Tanit and Julia. I had too many boys, so when they went off to uni, I added some girls. All are Sugah's Place downloads except Paloma, who I imported from another game, where she was the offspring of two Sugah's Place downloads.

I aged up teen model [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to a YA and set her up in the sorority house with a few others. This picture amused me. "And it hurt sooo much."

Laney and Nick fell in love and got married. Naked, as you do.  

They had three children. Dulcie

and twins Olivia and Ophelia.

Aww, look at all the pretty babies. Thank you for using my sims - I always get a kick when I see them in someone's game.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] first child is Marshall.


Marshall through the years:





He met [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] (aged down to YA) at uni.


They are still together after graduation, but not living together.

Patrick and Kelly also had Forest.






Forest met Paloma, the (extracted from a different game) offspring of [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]


Here they are as adults.

Playing a sorority sounds like fun. I like Dulcie's genetics. Her hair color and eyes look pretty together.

Ming! She was one of my favorites when I was playing the offspring project. I really loved the family she had in my game. I forgot that I had Patrick in that neighborhood too until I saw your pictures of Forest. I don't remember my Patrick's family very well, but I do remember you commenting on how alike his sons looked in our neighborhoods. His genes must be strong.

Paloma is a really pretty sim too.

Em, I remember the same thing about us both having Patrick in our games, and how his offspring are always attractive.

Ming in my game picked up the genie's lamp owned by another sim, at which point I decided she would follow the Criminal career path. I didn't play long enough to find out what her children would look like.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], the blonde,

and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], in the middle, had twins. They did not ever live together, but Ilyse and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], on the right, were a couple. Kurt never had any offspring, which is a shame, but he was a great step-father to the twins.


Griffin



Young adult


I don't have a good picture of him as a teen. He wasn't a very interesting kid, so he got shortchanged in the pictures. He and Bethany Price were a couple early on and here they are as teens.


Things got much more interesting in uni, where Griffin, Bethany, and Erik became a threesome. Bethany didn't seem to want to choose, and the boys didn't ask her to so she didn't. I checked ACR and, as long as no one got engaged, jealousy would not be a problem for any of them. Here they are as adults. They still all live together happily. Griffin isn't particularly interested in anything more than a good time with Bethany and not working as much as possible.

Fin and Ilyse's other twin is Glenna.





While a teen, Glenna became involved with Colin, a big time horn dog philanderer.


The relationship continued the entire time Glenna was at uni. She was the only sorority girl invited to pledge rather than having started there.

Nice wedding ring, Colin.


Their relationship was pretty strong all that time and I thought they'd stay together after she graduated, but it kind of fizzled out on its own when Glenna became an adult.


I'm sure there would have been a bit of drama if I'd kept playing, since her next love was Winter, Colin's son!

I hope Winter treats Glenna better than his man-ho father did. She is such a pretty sim. Griffin is really pretty, too. They both turned out so nice.

It's been so long I can't remember the family Patrick had in my game now. I want to say his wife was named Ava and they had sons. I'm going to have to look at my old thread again.

I didn't even know that was possible!

It is a shame. I think Kurt's twin brother needs to make an appearance in your game, so we can see what his children would look like.

Griffin grew up well. I'm glad he, Bethany, and Erik came to an agreeable arrangement.

I like Glenna. She is super pretty. I'm glad Colin was just a fling and she got him out of her system. I'm with Ari, and hope Winter treats her better. What drama!

If I remember correctly, the lamp had been placed in a public area in the dorm; that may have made a difference.

If I do go back and play this again, Kurt's twin will definitely have to participate more fully. Kurt was crazy about Ilyse from the beginning. After they got together, they just never tried for baby. I guess he was satisfied with the step kids.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] is one of my all-time favorite sims to play. He retired early from the military after his buddy was killed in order to fulfill his promise to take care of his buddy's daughter, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. Romantic love came late in life to him, but [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] was worth the wait.


As Esther was considerably younger than Jake, she wanted a family. Their first child was Thorn.






It was not until I saw Thorn naked in the shower at uni that I realized he'd inherited Jake's Huge Body Builder skin! [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] is one of the sims I added when the offspring went to uni so that my boys would have a chance to find a partner. I aged her to a young adult and moved her in.

Thorn and Desirae fell in love and had baby Lucia.

Jake and Esther had another child, Gilby, who did not inherit Jake's body. In fact, he was overweight until he was teen, I think.






Gilby and Spring, daughter of Colin and Autumn, fell in love and lived together through much of uni. I think they graduated, but I have no adult pics of them, so I must not have played them after that.

It looks like Thorn is playing with his mommy's hair in his picture as an infant. What a great looking bunch of kids in this post!
