Getting Started Again...

I didn't quite have the same cc when I restarted. Lots of new Store sets and not as many individual hairs and clothes, for one thing.
So many residents ended up wearing the wrong clothes. Also, a lot of people had aged up between the last time I took pictures and the re-start now. I decided to just circulate by alphabet from now on, and first fix everyone, find out a few traits, get them the right jobs...


Brandon and Judith Adams

Soon after the move to Winchester, Dexter Adams becomes a teenager. His traits are now: artistic, neurotic, good, and 'loves the outdoors'.
Dexter's lifetime wish is to become a 'home design hotshot'.

Meanwhile Judith has been wanting another baby, and the day after Dexter's birthday she finds out she's pregnant.

Judith and Brandon need jobs, so Brandon joins the music career and Judith becomes a teacher. And gets herself a new dress once the baby is born.

The baby is a girl: Gwendolyn. She's good and excitable. She's the first Sim born on Winchester Island.


Chen Adams and Angelina Bundy

Michael becomes a toddler. He's good, and a light sleeper. And adorable!

Angelina is already registered as a sculptor. Chen is a writer. It's a good thing they live in a tiny house, as they don't really earn enough to keep pixel and soul together...


Victor and Sun Young Adams

Sun Young completes her lifetime wish of becoming a "Master of the Arts". Victor is still working on his career as a hit movie composer.

Harmony and Yves Bernard

I noticed Yves has some wrinkles now that he's a full adult. He also got himself a new sweater, which is high time after all these years.

Collette is friendly, a light sleeper and a mooch. 
(She's probably very good at mooching - I think she looks irresistible).

She was also failing school - she claims the problem is with the school, not with the kids, so that's something that needs to be sorted.

Yves has worked his way up to paramedic. Harmony is still in the culinary career, she's now a line cook.


Julien Bernard and Ginny Fisk

Julien really needed a make-over. He still has that sullen look - nothing anyone can do about it short of plastic surgery. But I think his hair looks better now.

He wants to be a hit movie composer as well, just like Victor Adams.

Ginny is a former babysitter,  made by the game using Sims from my library - which is why she doesn't have the standard 'NPC-face'. 
She aged up to young adult now. She was never very pretty, but now she looks really pinched and 'old. On the other hand, I'm tired of the same old face for all my NPCs, so I'm happy with her. Plus, she has freckles. Always a bonus. This picture isn't half bad, she usually looks like she's just been ill for a year or two…

She aged up with the wish to be 'surrounded by family', and started working in Education.


Daniel and Sofia Harrell

Today is Rosanna's birthday - she ages up into a light sleeper, schmoozer, evil genius couch potato. Her lifetime wish is to become a chess legend. She took a job in the business career.

Bianca is clumsy, never nude and loves the outdoors.

Sofia works as a lab tech, but really wants to own a private museum filled with relics.

Daniel still wants to be a visionary, and still has the Hikon camera his father bought him for his teenage birthday. He was working as a report processor in the business career, but I made him register himself as a professional photographer.


Nathan and Abbie Harrell

Kelsey Harrell still lives with her second son Nathan, his wife Abbie and their son Leonard. Leonard is a teenager now. His traits are over-emotional, brave, good and heavy sleeper. Leonard wants to be a fire fighter super hero and save lives.

Kelsey retired when she turned elder a few days after her arrival. She was a sketch artist (level 8 in the forensic police career) and now enjoys her pension. She also got herself a whole new wardrobe, of course.

Abbie works in the bistro, as an ingredient taster, while Nathan has just registered himself as a writer.


Ho Sung and Hui Young Kim

The girls aged up to teenagers soon after arrival, too.

Xiu Ying aged up loner, disciplined, handy and athletic, and decides she wants to achieve physical perfection by mastering both athletics and martial arts.
Her sister Yue Xiulan aged up loner, perfectionist, daredevil and athletic, and wants to become a superspy.

In the meantime Huan Chao enjoys being the baby of the family. He loves the outdoors, but he also loves lounging on the sofa. Ideally, he'd like to have an outdoor television set with a rainproof, sheltered sofa - and he's just eccentric enough to invent one, one of these days.

The girls want to change their room and remove some of the 'baby stuff', but so far all they've done all day is test the school house rugs - since they weren't able to get in. (That explains all the F's I suppose - it's not just an excuse Colette dreamed up...)

Ho Sung is a team captain in the sports career, while Hui Young worked herself up to CEO of the local business company. She has now achieved her lifetime wish, but she's determined to take it two steps further now and reach the top. She's so close!
