    World Travelers

    Alister Crawley loves adventure. Given that his family descends from a long line of nobility that favors The University of Britchester, it was no surprise that he's ended up attending there. His parents expected that he'd end up as a professor, or a barrister, but not a globe trotting archaeologist. To be fair he does teach a few months out of the year, but the university also pays him to discover and collect for their Archaeology/History department. His exploits are gaining notoriety and the donations are pouring in. Having a supportive and equally adventurous wife helps.
    Larissa met Allister while studying Literature at Britchester. She had won a full ride to study aboard after penning a essay about how many of her literary heroes hailed from the country where Britchester was located and how it could be a contributing factor in her becoming a literary icon for a new generation. It won much to her surprise. In a historical lit class she and Alister hit it off, eventually marrying after she graduated and he pursued his second degree. She goes on all his digs and freelances to support them.

    Recently returned, the two were trying to start a family when she got the call that her older sister Jodi and her husband had died in an accident. She further shocked to learn she and Alister had been selected to be the legal guardians to their two children,even though her parents are still alive. Given their lifestyle, Alister and Larissa had always planned to have their family on the go with them. And now is their chance to test it out. Because Larissa may have another kid to mix soon if their trying succeeded...

    This is such a sweet family and I love their backstory! Thank you so much for submitting.

    THE PRINCE FAMILY

    Household: PRINCE

    HP8ouGj.png

    Names: Maximiliano, Korinna, Raina, Daquan, Ali

    Bio: Korinna stems from a long line of mermaid princesses. But when she met Max, he swept her off her fins and onto dry land. He's a famous football player after all, and will treat her like the princess she is. They have three adorable children which completes their little family. They want to go on #adventures and see the world!

    Their three kids all have different personalities. Raina is so much like the true mermaid princess of the family. She is a vegan and is neat as a pin. But she likes to have fun with her friends like most teens do. Daquan is a spunky guy who loves to explore. He really wants to go to Sulani and discover whether he's a mermaid or not (I think he is though). He's an artist at heart and loves to be creative. Ali thinks he's a king already and tells his parents what to do. He's a handful! But he's loved by his siblings and his parents. ;)

    Such a cute family! Thank you for submitting to one of my stories again, @pammiechick! :)

    Household: The O'Poole-Lelands uploaded to the Gallery with hashtags.
    I figured we need more happily married couples in this world so here are the lovely O'Poole-Lelands. This family is modified from a TS3 family of mine hence the references to TS3 game-related things in their bios. Also, put their astrological signs and some other notes under spoilers. Feel free to move the family if you'd like.

    Linus Leland is a hopeless romantic... and decision maker. As a freelance digital artist, Linus contracts from his home studio so he's able to be a stay-at-home dad. He loves doing little things for his wife - bringing her breakfast in bed, surprising her with flowers at work and suave kisses whenever he can. He's a pretty good dad too, chasing away the monsters under the bed, building pillow forts with his son, and playing dolls with his girls. At one point, he ran a day care out of the apartment, but once his license expired, he never renewed. His wife teases him about his "analysis paralysis." If something isn't perfect, he doesn't usually follow-through. Because of that, there are a lot of half-finished ideas and half-completed projects in their tiny city apartment in San Myshuno.

    For years, Linus has promised to build his wife a home of their own. He is hoping to make enough money and travel a bit to draw design inspiration. Linus was an architecture major in uni, but chose to follow his muse and pursue painting instead. Recently, he saw an article in a magazine, featuring Tiny Twavellers set pieces, and he fell in love with the design concepts. Will designing the family home be a dream come true for Linus or will it be another incomplete, never-finished project?
    Linus' traits are Romantic, Family-Oriented, and Perfectionist (for the half-finished project stuff). I also have a mod that allows him to have more traits so he also has Squeamish and Art Lover. His Aspiration is Renaissance Sim because he can't seem to stay in one career field - day care, architecture, and painting. Linus is a Libra. Favorite color: Purple. Favorite Music: Romance. Favorite Food: Gummy Bear Pancakes

    Maeve O'Poole is passionate about everything she does. A redhead from Dragon Valley, Maeve loves being a wife and a mom almost as much as she loves music. As a first-chair violinist and aspiring songwriter, Maeve travels regularly for performances with the San Myshuno Symphony. From a young age, she was incredibly gifted, but often torn between her love of the ocean and music. To help pay her way through uni, Maeve worked as a lifeguard and met her future husband on the beach. Their relationship has been a whirlwind romance as they dated, got engaged, married, and had their first child in a year, eleven months, and nine days.

    The youngest of seven siblings and the only girl, Maeve can hold her own against her six older brothers, and pretty much anyone else. Don't let her sweet exterior fool you. She can get a bit hot-headed when people criticize her choice to let her husband stay home in her stead, but they are a modern family! If her husband ever gets around to completing that dream home, she might just settle down outside the hustle and bustle of the city and write her first concerto. That's if she can ever get away from the limelight. She does so love the praise and adoration of the masses, maybe a little too much, but her heart keeps coming back to the seaside and so she never stays away from home too long.
    Maeve's traits are Hot-headed, Music Lover, and Self-absorbed (and her additional traits, if you want to add them are Self-Assured and Child of the Ocean.) Maeve is a fire sign, unsurprisingly, Leo. Favorite music: Classical. Favorite Color: Green. If you can't tell, Maeve is a mermaid, ;) one of the northern "water" tribes since she's from Dragon Valley. Maeve is a celeb B-lister, and she's got two fame quirks - Vain Street and Paparazzi Darling. Feel free to freeze her fame or turn off her fame if it's not helpful for the story.

    Caspian O'Poole-Leland has nauseatingly romantic parents. Blech! He prefers to spend time with his chocolate Field Spaniel, Toblerone or "Toby" for short. Even though he is only eight, Caspian hopes to be a vet when he grows up. For now, he will focus on making all the friends he can get and meeting all sorts of other neighborhood pets. He takes great care of his pup, going on walks twice a day, measuring out the perfect scoops of kibble, and even brushing Toby's teeth and reading him a bedtime story every night. Oh a boy and his dog! It'll be great when his dad finally finishes that dream house so Toby will have plenty of space to run and play.
    Caspian has maxed his Responsible trait, and he is a Social Butterfly, and of course, dog lover. Caspian grew up in Sims 3 to have the unflirty trait.Toblerone has the Adventurous, Loyal, and Playful traits. Caspian's favorite music is Kids, and he likes peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. His favorite color is blue. He's a Cancer.

    Kailani and Leilani, nicknames, Kai and Lei, are the youngest additions to the O'Poole and Leland family. The toddler twins are a handful, but well-loved, if not a bit spoiled, by their parents. Kai is the more active of the twins, fearless, wild, and independent. Monsters under the bed. Psh! She will just babble to them until they go away, and then sing (more like screech) little songs like her mommy at the top of her lungs. In fact, little Kai wants to be a monster herself when she grows up... a big furry bear! Her parents don't have the heart to tell her she can't really be a bear, but the little girl can dream. Lei is a little more of a charmer, content to sip pretend fairy tea with her daddy and go up to complete strangers to say hello. But occasionally, she can indulge her sister's wild child and make some mischief, but usually it's just to paint the floor all the colors of the rainbow. Isn't that what daddy does? :tongue: (The twins are Aquarius).

    And that's the O'Poole-Leland family! Hope you enjoy!

    you named a sim after a peanuts chracter.lol . you brought back memories of drama class for me. we did a lot of improv and one i was lucy and the weird guy in drama clas was charlie brown. i didn't realize til recently people thought that about him but he was nice anyway we got paired to do lucy and charliebrown in detention i think

    @friendsfan367 I like the name. You don't see it that often. Sounds like a fun memory.

    I was also thinking of Linus Larabee from the movie, Sabrina, even though this Sim is nothing like the character. I had both the Humphrey Bogart and Harrison Ford versions at one time.

    @VanPelt81 @AdamsEve1231 @Simslover163 @pammiechick @MINEZ @friendsfan367 Thanks to all of you for submitting Sims to me. I don't know if we'll get another submission before the due date, but I've been thinking about where to place the families, where they'll go on holiday and in which order I'll play them/write about them so long.

    @VanPelt81 I'm thinking about placing your family in either Brindleton Bay or Windenburg. I think it would be fun to send them on a camping trip to Granite Falls.

    @friendsfan367 I'm thinking about placing your family in either Oasis Springs or Brindleton Bay and having them visit Selvadorada.

    @AdamsEve1231 You've mentioned that your family lives in San Myshuno. I'm thinking about placing them in the Arts District living next to @Simslover163's family. I'm thinking about having your family visit Sulani.

    @Simslover163 Like I said, I'm thinking about having your family live in San Myshuno next to @AdamsEve1231's family. I'm thinking about sending them to either Granite Falls, Selvadorada or Sulani.

    @MINEZ You've mentioned that the parents in your family studied at Britechester. Would you like me to place them there? I'm thinking about sending them to Selvadorada.

    @pammiechick You've mentioned that your family is famous, so I'm thinking about placing them in Del Sol Valley and having them visit Sulani.

    I'm thinking about playing the families in the order they're submitted or just randomly. Let me know if you all agree with this or not and if I mentioned several travel destinations or worlds they'll be living in, let me know which one(s) your family would be most interested in.

    That sounds good to me. Del Sol Valley is so different from Sulani and they have roots there so it'll be special for all of them to visit it!

    Maeve's traits are Hot-headed, Music Lover, and Self-absorbed (and her additional traits, if you want to add them are Self-Assured and Child of the Ocean.) Maeve is a fire sign, unsurprisingly, Leo. Favorite music: Classical. Favorite Color: Green. If you can't tell, Maeve is a mermaid, ;) one of the northern "water" tribes since she's from Dragon Valley. Maeve is a celeb B-lister, and she's got two fame quirks - Vain Street and Paparazzi Darling. Feel free to freeze her fame or turn off her fame if it's not helpful for the story.

    Caspian O'Poole-Leland has nauseatingly romantic parents. Blech! He prefers to spend time with his chocolate Field Spaniel, Toblerone or "Toby" for short. Even though he is only eight, Caspian hopes to be a vet when he grows up. For now, he will focus on making all the friends he can get and meeting all sorts of other neighborhood pets. He takes great care of his pup, going on walks twice a day, measuring out the perfect scoops of kibble, and even brushing Toby's teeth and reading him a bedtime story every night. Oh a boy and his dog! It'll be great when his dad finally finishes that dream house so Toby will have plenty of space to run and play.
    Caspian has maxed his Responsible trait, and he is a Social Butterfly, and of course, dog lover. Caspian grew up in Sims 3 to have the unflirty trait.Toblerone has the Adventurous, Loyal, and Playful traits. Caspian's favorite music is Kids, and he likes peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. His favorite color is blue. He's a Cancer.

    Kailani and Leilani, nicknames, Kai and Lei, are the youngest additions to the O'Poole and Leland family. The toddler twins are a handful, but well-loved, if not a bit spoiled, by their parents. Kai is the more active of the twins, fearless, wild, and independent. Monsters under the bed. Psh! She will just babble to them until they go away, and then sing (more like screech) little songs like her mommy at the top of her lungs. In fact, little Kai wants to be a monster herself when she grows up... a big furry bear! Her parents don't have the heart to tell her she can't really be a bear, but the little girl can dream. Lei is a little more of a charmer, content to sip pretend fairy tea with her daddy and go up to complete strangers to say hello. But occasionally, she can indulge her sister's wild child and make some mischief, but usually it's just to paint the floor all the colors of the rainbow. Isn't that what daddy does? :tongue: (The twins are Aquarius).

    And that's the O'Poole-Leland family! Hope you enjoy!

    you named a sim after a peanuts chracter.lol . you brought back memories of drama class for me. we did a lot of improv and one i was lucy and the weird guy in drama clas was charlie brown. i didn't realize til recently people thought that about him but he was nice anyway we got paired to do lucy and charliebrown in detention i think


    i got big laughs the last thing i rember was calling him blockhead,

    @friendsfan367 I like the name. You don't see it that often. Sounds like a fun memory.

    I was also thinking of Linus Larabee from the movie, Sabrina, even though this Sim is nothing like the character. I had both the Humphrey Bogart and Harrison Ford versions at one time.

    cool. thanks for the memory. i like the name too i just never saw it in sims before. linus is my favorite peanut.



    someone remind me to look up linus larabee. no idea who that is.

    Linus is a great Peanut character! I was in the choir of You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown once.

    @divanthesimmer That sounds great! Thank you. I like the idea of rotational family play, but do whatever works for the story.

    Sounds great to me! Having my family living in the arts district in San Myshuno suits their personalities well. Also, it would be great if you can send them to Sulani and Selvadorada. As for the style of play, do whatever works for the story.

    @VanPelt81 @AdamsEve1231 @Simslover163 @pammiechick @MINEZ @friendsfan367 Thanks to all of you for submitting Sims to me. I don't know if we'll get another submission before the due date, but I've been thinking about where to place the families, where they'll go on holiday and in which order I'll play them/write about them so long.

    @VanPelt81 I'm thinking about placing your family in either Brindleton Bay or Windenburg. I think it would be fun to send them on a camping trip to Granite Falls.

    @friendsfan367 I'm thinking about placing your family in either Oasis Springs or Brindleton Bay and having them visit Selvadorada.

    @AdamsEve1231 You've mentioned that your family lives in San Myshuno. I'm thinking about placing them in the Arts District living next to @Simslover163's family. I'm thinking about having your family visit Sulani.

    @Simslover163 Like I said, I'm thinking about having your family live in San Myshuno next to @AdamsEve1231's family. I'm thinking about sending them to either Granite Falls, Selvadorada or Sulani.

    @MINEZ You've mentioned that the parents in your family studied at Britechester. Would you like me to place them there? I'm thinking about sending them to Selvadorada.

    @pammiechick You've mentioned that your family is famous, so I'm thinking about placing them in Del Sol Valley and having them visit Sulani.

    I'm thinking about playing the families in the order they're submitted or just randomly. Let me know if you all agree with this or not and if I mentioned several travel destinations or worlds they'll be living in, let me know which one(s) your family would be most interested in.

    good maybe they can find the jungle. lol.

    Thank you so much! I'm ready to upload it. You will need to check the CC tick, however. (There's no CC in it, but because I use MCCC it got flagged anyway. :neutral: )

    Before Brindleton Bay was a trendy, pet-friendly tourist trap, it was a small fishing town with a rich colonial history. It was founded when Josiah Brindleton's ship missed the Willow Creek colony by about 500 miles. The Waites are one of the oldest families here. You can still see the name of their ancestor, E. Waite, on the Deadgrass Compact at the museum. This family has a reputation for being well-educated. Ephraim is passionate about history. He would enjoy a vacation where his daughters learned a lot about local history and had ample time to read.
    A trip to Selvadorada would be perfect for these guys!
    Ephraim Waite: Head of household and father of three lovely daughters. He has a voracious appetite for strange, hard-to-find literature. Each week, he receives a large shipment of thick, leather-bound tomes. He's known to take several with him while traveling.
    Asenath Waite: This sim's taste in literature skews towards the practical. She's happiest when reading about logical conundrums or viewing mechanical diagrams.
    Remembrance Waite: There's no question that she's mentally gifted; Remembrance has a fondness for the arts, too. She goes everywhere with her violin. The music helps her sort out a knotty problem.
    Nickname: Remy
    Andromeda Waite: The littlest Waite. Asenath and Remembrance found her one day in the parlor. All their father said was that she was a gift "from beyond the stars."
    Ephraim and Asenath Waite are originally from H. P. Lovecraft's "The Thing on the Doorstep". I hope you enjoy playing with this weird fiction-inspired family.

    This is how the living/holiday situation is going to work for each of the families:

    * The Lowensteins will live in Windenburg and go on a camping trip to Granite Falls.
    * The O'Poole-Lelands will live in San Myshuno and visit Sulani.
    * The Hayes family will live in San Myshuno and visit both Sulani and Selvadorada.
    * The World Travellers family will live in Britechester and explore Selvadorada.
    * The Prince family will live in Del Sol Valley and visit Sulani.
    * The Matsons will live in Brindleton Bay and travel to Selvadorada.
    * The Waites will live in Brindleton Bay and explore Selvadorada.

    I will use a random dice roller to determine which family I'll be playing/writing a chapter about - I will play/write rotationally. I don't have a plot for the story yet and mostly I'll just turn autonomy on and let the Sims tell their own story, doing things based on their whims and so forth.

    The CC pack, Tiny Twavellers, comes out on 8 June, so I might need like a week after that to set everything up, play and begin writing. I might also be busy with work, so I'm not sure how frequently I'll post updates to the story, but I'll try my best to do it as regularly as possible.

    Let me know your thoughts on this and feel free to ask any questions! Thank you so much to everyone who submitted. :)

    May I suggest a lot to use for the Waites? (If the Matsons disagree, that's fine by me.)
    In the save I used to set up this family, I used Tail's End, the blank 40x30 lot in Brindleton Bay. With the cheat "moveobjects on", I placed a lot called Queen Anne Victorian. It's by AlanPerrine.

    @friendsfan367 , was there a specific place you wanted the Matsons to live? I don't want to take it if that's what you had in mind.

    Can't wait to see all the families on their vacations (and laugh at poor Jaden vacationing in nature with all of the bugs >:) )
