The Sims 2 Pt. 8

Greetings, Earthlings! I believe yesterday I mentioned talking about my own characters in The Sims 2. Maybe I'll do that briefly. Do it because I love them. Briefly because you probably don't care as much.

I created a neighborhood whose name I will not mention because I lack creativity in this regard. But as many expansion packs as I have, those are how many special Sims I have in this neighborhood, with the exception of one that I am still currently in the process of getting.

The base game contains aliens. My neighborhood contains two aliens. One is currently an elder with three children, four grandchildren (one of whom is adopted), and a fifth grandchild on the way. One of her grandchildren, brother to the one adopted, is an alien as well, currently a teenager. His father, my original alien's son, was abducted.

Nightlife contains vampires. Mine is a woman with a Romance Aspiration. She is engaged to the Count but has so far avoided marriage to him. She has raised their daughter to a teenager, and she also has another child who is a toddler (I forgot whose son this one is).

Pets contains werewolves. This one was pretty difficult, but I eventually got one of my characters to befriend the glowing-eyed wolf and it bit her. Then I had her go out into downtown and convert at least four other down/townies to werewolfism.

Seasons contains plant Sims. That's the one I have yet to obtain in my own neighborhood. Of course Riverblossom Hill already has them, and one of the premade characters there I turned into a plant Sim without meaning to.

But aside from all these unusual Sims, I do have a few normal families. My elder alien's two younger children, for instance, both are leading normal lives. Although I do have a story to tell about her younger son. He is a family Sim, married to a family Sim, they have two children, and they want more. But unfortunately, they can't. The wife had difficulties getting pregnant the first time, and the second time she got really sick (pregnant sick, not a cold or pneumonia or anything). So it's too risky to have another child; the next one may kill her. No, don't even try to protest that the game makes that impossible; I'm building a storyline here. ;) Oooh, only just now had a thought that should've been obvious - adoption! xD

You are a terrific, idea-generating, patient audience! Thank you for this past week-and-a-day of Sims 2 talk. I'm probably going to end it here and start on something else tomorrow. Who knows yet what that will be; but it'll be, eventually. Ciao!
