Zuri Gets Married/Chandra Has A Birthday

We return to a houseful of people at the McMurray house. Patricia continues her work as a Mad Scientist.  Aaron’s job is in the gaming field, though I don’t remember what his official title is. Zolos is practicing law, while his wife Sadie is a professional party guest. Their daughter Chandra is a toddler. (Are we counting…that makes 5 so far). Then…there’s Zuri, and she’s ready to settle down with her boyfriend Bill Gray. Let’s begin….

Toddler Chandra is getting lots of attention from her parents, grandmother, and other family members.

Off To University/Group 3

I have sent the above teenagers to University.

Eldoret Family Day To Day

As we return to the Eldoret household, Kennedy is an elder but continues to work as Captain Hero (gotta bring home that moola! If only I hadn’t allowed Nikki to retire…sighs).  Anyway, Cecelia and Ethan are attorneys in the law field. All have reached their LTW, except for Kennedy. He’s still working on making that $100,000. goal before he dies (and Heath of course as he’s still a teenager).

Heath is rather interesting looking. What I like about his looks above all else are his eyes. He inherited his grandmother’s big, beautiful brown eyes! Heath is an Aries, 9 neat, 10 outgoing, 9 active, 3 playful and 1 nice. He’s also a Romance sim. Let’s look at his gene field…Grandparents Nikki and Kennedy (Cox) Eldoret, and on his mother’s side there is Dagmar (Bertino) Green Carr and Clark Green. So….that explains a bit why he looks the way he does. Nikki has the beautiful eyes, Kennedy has the prominent nose and chin, and Dagmar is just plain unattractive (especially from a side view). So let’s just leave it that, while Heath is not the ugliest sim born in-game, he certainly wouldn’t win any beauty contests either!

Just An FYI

Just wanted to inform anyone who may be reading this blog…I am going to disable ACR (Autonomous Casual Romance) because it’s just causing too many problems in game. The potential to destroy all the storylines/families I have created is just too great. Anyway, the population in my sims storylines in growing too quickly!

Look for another updated post soon in the continuing saga of my Prosperity challenge. I really want to finish it before Sims 3 comes out in January

In order to finish, I need to reach to generation 5….so I still have a ways to go!

Addendum: Heath is generation 3 born in-game, so at least the end is in sight!

McMurray2 Sasha/Schoolgirl

We return to the McMurray2 household, which consists of Sean, his wife Angela, their daughter Sasha…and Patrick (brother to Sean). All 3 have jobs.

Sean is a Senior College Professor.

Landgraab IV/ Toddlers Melody and Melanie

After a long hiatus, I have returned to (hopefully) complete this challenge! As we left the Landgraab family the last time, Mackenzie and Ronan had given birth to twin daughters: Melody (light skin/gray eyes like her mom) and Melanie (dark skin/green eyes like her dad); making Malcolm and Tiffany grandparents.

McMurray Family Summary/Bonus Picture

Ever since I installed the autonomous casual romance mod, I have definately seen my sims act on their own accord in the love department. Shortly after Chandra’s birth, a friend of Sadie’s visited (I don’t remember his name) and the two of them ended up doing a casual woo-hoo. Thankfully, Zolos was at work or who knows what would have happened!

Zolos and Sadie did an autonomous “try for baby” (even though Chandra was still a baby!), but luckily, no lullabye music followed. I’m pretty sure that was Zolos’ doing since he’s a family sim. And, as I’ve mentioned before, I’m having to watch Aaron very carefully because he sometimes wants to flirt with Zuri. I suppose there wouldn’t be anything wrong with that (he and Patricia aren’t married)…but…she’s like his step-daughter! 

Anyway…on to the summary. This rotation Zolos and Zuri moved back home from university. Zolos and Sadie got married, and had their daughter, Chandra McMurray. Zuri now has a boyfriend named Bill Gray. Patricia acheived her 2nd LTW! Poor Aaron…it’s getting a little harder to keep him happy. He really wants to have a child…but Patricia is an elder. I suppose he could adopt one. It wouldn’t dissapoint me if he was eventually abducted…but the chances of that happening are slight.

So…that’s it for the McMurray family. We now move on to the Landgraab family.

Zuri, Heatstroke and Lemonade

I suppose I share some of the blame…I did initially direct Zuri to flirt and kiss her boyfriend, Bill Gray. From her response, I don’t think she minded a bit! However…she took it from there and continued to make out with the guy. Unfortunately, her body temperature was already a little hot from running on the treadmill right before he came over.

Patricia Reaches 2nd LTW/Toddler Chandra

Patricia has already reached her 1st LTW to become a Mad Scientist. She has been working on her 2nd LTW, which is to max out all her skills. She is sooo close now.

Zuri Gets In Shape

Zuri had slowly been gaining weight, but it wasn’t until her mother said something to her about it that she decided it was time to lose some of it!  After all, she did eventually want to meet someone and get married. She figured her chances would be better if she looked her best.
