Today we'll visit Zack Tellerman and his daughter Jenna. Zack is one of Jodie and Komei's kids (the youngest, I believe); only two of his five siblings remain. He has four children: his adopted daughter Jenna, two kids with Ella Ottomas (Austin and Sydney, who we met previously), and a daughter with Tamara Fuchs (Joy) who he tries to have a relationship with, but doesn't get to see often. Though Zack is known for his romantic entanglements, he's remained a perpetual bachelor his whole life. He seems to prefer playing the field. He did live with Ella for a while, but has never even considered marriage. Zack's daughter Jenna is much the same, despite not sharing his DNA. She has the LTW for 50 first dates, which is agonizing, but doable for her since she's a vampire. She's currently at ten dates though, so it'll be a while lol. She was fairly serious with Jonathan Ottomas for a while, but he ran into her while on a date with another guy and broke things off. Maybe they'll work something out in time.
Next up is the commune. I've mentioned it a few times before. This is a place where sims go (if they meet the right conditions) to live a simple life away from modern problems (and conveniences). Initially I had sims with LTWs of 20 Lovers/20 Woohoos and 50 First/50 Dream Dates, but it got too dramatic with all the boings and slaps. Actually a few of those still live here, but are elderly so I'm not kicking them out. I recently changed the rules to allow only those with LTWs for 20 Best Friends or 20 Pet Best Friends. This will greatly reduce the demand to live here and hopefully cut down on the crazy a bit. Residents of the commune are self-sufficient, growing their own food, fishing, making crafts, etc. Relationships evolve naturally and, while they may greet walkbys, they rarely leave the lot. Children born into the commune must follow the rules until they are old enough to decide whether or not to remain; if they leave they will have little to no contact with the family members who stay, nor will they have any money to start their lives with. Our current residents are: Chelsea Dreamer, Julien Cooke, Kelly and Lynn Broke, Polly Picaso, Melody Tinker, and Brittany Upsnott.
Chelsea is the daughter of Brandi and Darren. She has three remaining siblings and a son, who she left with her twin Sasha when she decided to join the commune. She's quite old and likely won't be with us much longer. Her primary responsibility within the commune is gardening.
Julien Cooke never managed to have any children before coming here, so his commune family is all he's got. He's also elderly and may not live much longer. Julien's primary responsibility is making pottery to sell.
Kelly and Lynn Broke are the daughters of Dustin and Angela. Their sister Amber also lived on the commune, but died of a mysterious disease. Their other three siblings are alive and well in Pleasantview. Kelly has an adult son from before she joined the commune, as well as two grandchildren she's never met. Lynn has a daughter with Armando Ottomas, who she was seeing right before coming here. She was pregnant when she arrived and Moon was born on the compound. Armando never met her. When Moon reached adulthood, she chose to leave and is currently living in the homeless shelter. Kelly does the cooking for the commune and Lynn paints for money.
Polly Picaso is the plant/vamp daughter of Jessica Picaso. She has two plant siblings, three plant children, one non-plant son with Kirby Bruty, and an alien grandson who she hasn't met. Since she's a plant/vamp, she's nearly invincible, so she's basically the placeholder for the lot should it empty out at any point. She may eventually fulfill her LTW of 20 Woohoos, but at the moment she's only at one, so probably not any time soon. Polly fishes and takes care of repairs.
Melody Tinker is, of course, the daughter of Stephen and Wanda Tinker. Her parents are no longer together, but she does have five siblings and another on the way between the two. Melody is one of the first to fall under the new rules and therefore has a LTW to have 20 Best Friends, of which she's acquired six so far. Her primary responsibility is digging for treasure to sell, but she'll likely be switched over to gardening when Chelsea dies.
Brittany is the newest member of the commune. She has the LTW for 20 Pet Best Friends, which is one I've never accomplished before, so we'll see. She has no family, having come here straight out of college, however she does have an outstanding student loan which she'll be unable to make payments on while she's here. I've decided that the loan will continue to accrue interest as long as she's here, but if she finishes her LTW and decides to leave, she'll have to start making payments. Otherwise, we'll consider it a default on the loan. Brittany's job is making floral bouquets to sell.
That's all folks! Happy Simming!
