Today we meet Paige and Lee Bruty. Paige is the daughter of Gabe and Kendal Landry (both former townies). She has five siblings and three children: twins from a previous relationship (with Thug Alvin Broke, who we met at the prison) and one son with her husband. Paige works in the Athletic career, recently became an elder, and is also a werewolf. Having been through a number of failed relationships prior to meeting Lee, I think she's pretty happy to be settled down, despite the fact that there's a significant age difference between the two. Lee is the plant son of Charles Bruty (grandson of Sandy). He has two plant brothers (one is Kirby, who we met earlier). He gets along well with Paige's twins as long as they don't catch any PDA between them. He's currently working in the Gamer career, but has a LTW of having six grandchildren. It's a good thing he's planning to have some plant babies once his son Shay is a little older.
Next up is Tamara Fuchs. Tamara is a former townie, who is now a single mom of four. By day she's got everything together, working as a doctor and taking care of her kids, but by night she's a hunter on the prowl, looking for any willing man she can find to keep her company for the night. Her first two children were adopted, but the younger two are the result of these liaisons that she seems powerless to resist. It's getting pretty expensive too. Saving for four college educations is no joke. Even though she makes good money, it's not nearly enough, and money's getting pretty tight. One of her baby daddies contributes to his child's education, which helps, but the other rarely does given that he's more broke than she is and he caught her with another man, which made him pretty upset. The good news is...she didn't get pregnant this round!
Stephen Tinker has had a pretty tough life. He and Wanda split up not long after their twins were born. He wasn't making enough money selling his toys, so he bought a little shop where he sells small appliances. Even that wasn't enough to keep him afloat financially and he wound up in the homeless shelter. Though Wanda remarried, Stephen has drifted from one dead end relationship to another. He had a one night stand with Tamara Fuchs which resulted in a daughter, but caught her with someone else not long after. Consequently, he's barely spent any time with his little girl. His oldest daughter Melody joined the commune and he hasn't seen her for quite some time. At least he's still close with the twins (Cord and Octavius, who we met earlier at Uni). Finally he was able to save up enough money to get a tiny apartment and he met the woman of his dreams, Lynn Bowman (former "college" instructor). When she found out she was pregnant, they decided she should move in with him. Their baby is due next round, but Stephen may not live long enough to meet him/her, as he only has a sliver left on his life bar. It won't be a picnic for Lynn either, considering she's almost an elder herself, and she'll be left with a baby to raise on her own, a business to run on her own, and a full-time job in the Science career.
Lisa Ramirez thought her life was perfect. She raised two children with her husband Checo, and was ready to settle into retirement with him, when he decided he wasn't quite ready to be old just yet and left Lisa for a younger woman. Now Lisa lives with her daughter Tessa and Tessa's boyfriend Toby (former townie). She works as an employee at a bookstore and tries to avoid Checo as much as possible. Tessa is caught in the middle. She loves both her parents, but can't let them be in the same room together. Not that she has a lot of time to worry about her parents since she took over the furniture store from her father. I think she's probably more worried about her own relationship, as it hasn't been going well lately. Her boyfriend is currently spending all his time working on his online degree, while she spends all hers working at the store. She also suspects he's cheating on her (she's correct) and it's causing a lot of strain. Of course, she did have a moment of weakness with her friend Joel, so she's not completely innocent in all this. I guess we'll have to wait and see how it turns out.
That's all for today. Happy Simming!
