Blythelyre LOOK an UWL gift for you!

A gift from me to you - calling Blythelyre

When Blythelyre posted her UWL she commented that we wanted similar things. And since I was one of the people who had wanted her to sign up I decided there really wasn't any question about whether or not I was going to GIFT her a.s.a.p!

You said you wanted a family of color with children and that you are currently playing a game in Bridgeport. So I went to work trying to create a family that could live up to that. I didn't know what traits you preferred so I randomized them.

Backstory
When we start their story they are living in Moonlight falls. Times are, if not hard, then at least lean and money is tight.

Sharon and Noel met just after they graduated, it was love at first sight like it is for many sims. Sharon was thinking about going to university, Noel had already decided he was going to join the army. When he got deployed to Moonlight Falls Sharon decided to join him there rather than to spend time at university a long way from him.

Noel had a very strict sergeant and promotions were coming slowly, Sharon was doing much better over at the business building she worked at. But then, as so many sims do, they slipped up and tried for baby instead of having a regular woho. The result was instantaneous and Shannon became pregnant. Around this time Noel was sent away overseas and Sharon had to raise the toddlers herself. Taking care of two toddlers (not twins since they are 1 day apart) meant she could no longer work long hours as a Report Processor so she became a stay at home mom.

Fast forward a couple of years and here we are. The kids are now in school and after school activities so Sharon has started to work again. She is stacking shelves at the local supermarket until something better comes up. Noel is still slaving away as a grunt at the military base.

Everyday life

With two growing children money is always tight so Noel always makes sure to look through the paper for coupons.

Tanika want's to exercise and Ismail want's to watch the kids channel. There is constant bickering about who get's to pick what to watch on the crappy old TV.

Sharon's neatness makes her obsessed about keeping order in their little house.

And Noel tries to help the best he can by fixing and upgrading the appliances.

This is their current home, it's tiny with two small bedrooms and a combined kitchen/living room.

And this is Dehlila, their car. (Ismail named her)

Here they are supporting their team. Go Llamas! No matter what arguments the family has, they all agree when it comes to picking the winning team.

With no money to buy the kids expensive toys the family find other ways to amuse themselves.

Like skating and playing soccer at the summer fair.

Or having a water balloon fight with each other.

The Future

Two things happened in short succession to change their story. One was a substantial inheritance when Sharon's great aunt passed away.

The other came for Noel in the mail.

The letter offered a promotion, as long as he relocated to Bridgeport.

Sharon agreed that moving was a great idea. She felt that there was a greater chance for her to get a job in a big city and she really wanted to start working regular hours again.

Wait?! What is she doing? Um, last time she acted that crazy something staring with an "n" appeared 3 days later. Is there something you're not telling us?

    You're welcome! I'm so glad you like them :D

    I had a lot of fun making them - and best of all - I wanted a family like this too. So it's really a gift for the both of us!

    I tried making Sharon's clothes in the "peachy pink" you said you favored. Hope I hit the spot.

    What a funny coincidence :lol:

    I was worried you'd think the yellow to bright since you specified no neons.

    The house is great for hosting parties in. I've tried it many times. And the family is fun to play.
