Belinda Alpha is another second gen spare from the Alpha Legacy. You may remember meeting her sister Bethany. Belinda is an elder with two grown children, one of whom lives with her. She also has a grandson. She's been working in Politics for quite some time and just this round reached the top. She'll be retiring soon so she got it just in time. Last round Belinda moved her new girlfriend in, who is unfortunately in the Criminal career, which could mean prison for her. Belinda's son Bryan has already topped his career and is now working on Woohoo 20. He's not overly successful at it - he's only got four so far.
Toby Grundstrom's household has always been chaotic. He is the son of Sadie and Sullivan Grundstrom (former Diva and Mr. Big). He has two sisters, Tanya and Tess, who he practically raised on his own because his parents could never really be bothered with parenting. They were so wrapped up in themselves and each other that by the time Toby was a teen, they'd decided parenting wasn't really their thing and took off to parts unknown to enjoy life. Once his sisters were grown, Toby married Renee (Tellerman) Grundstrom (daughter of Jodie and Komei) and they had three kids together: Mark, Melody, and Caryl. Toby and Renee divorced when their children were teens, and Renee moved out to live with her brother. She's deceased now and all three kids are grown, with Melody still living here with her father, since both she and Toby have the LTW of raising 20 puppies or kittens. Two birds, one stone, right? Recently Toby remarried a former townie, Dagmar, who is not only a vampire, but also much younger than his children. Melody can't stand her, but they co-exist for the sake of Roger, Toby and Dagmar's son, who is a child. Melody also got married recently, to her high school sweetheart, Marcus Hamilton (son of Marylena Hamilton and Gabe Landry), and they are expecting a baby. It doesn't look as though Toby will reach his LTW before he dies (I estimate he has four or five days left), but Melody might have time to get there. Plus, once Toby is gone, I'm sure that either Dagmar and Roger or Melody and Marcus will move out.
Ryker Jones is a former townie who has twin daughters with Katie Tellerman, but is now married to another former townie Audrey. Both Ryker and Audrey are werewolves. Ryker works in Culinary, though he's never done well at moving up the ladder; Audrey is currently working in Athletics, though she's looking to switch to Business now that she has her online degree. Though they don't have any children together, one of Ryker's twins, Darlene, lives with them, along with her new husband (one of her former professors) Phil McCullough. Darlene is a doctor and Phil is looking to get a Science job, but no luck so far. Darlene and Phil do not plan on having any children, which is probably good, since Phil is the same age as Darlene's father and might not live long enough to see any children grow up.
That's all folks! Happy Simming!

Ella Ottomas is the daughter of Gilbert Jacquet and Lila Ottomas. She's an elder with two brothers and three children: Austin, Sydney, and Richard. We met Austin at Uni and Sydney at Briarwood. Richard is a teen, who decided this round that he wanted to follow in his siblings' footsteps and attend boarding school. Ella had the money and Richard had good grades, so we sent him off as soon as he aged for the day. Ella hasn't been particularly lucky in love, but she is quite successful in her Dance career (she's almost topped it). I guess she'll be living on her own for a while, at least until one of her kids decides to move back home.
Katie Tellerman is the daughter of Jodie and Komei Tellerman. She has two living siblings and seven children, some bio and some adopted. Her three oldest are grown, she has one in college, two teens (one at home, one at boarding school), and her youngest is a child. While Katie has had relationships here and there, she seems to prefer being on her own, living her life and raising her kids the way she sees fit. She's been working in the Business career for a long time and is nearing retirement age. It's been a good job for her, however, because she's always getting bonuses which really helps when you're the single parent of a large family.
Patrick Davison is an elderly former townie, with no children. He lives alone in a house where he used to be a boarder, but when the elderly residents died without heirs, he inherited the house and their dog. Patrick isn't going to be around much longer (nor is the dog) and I'm not really sure what to do with him. He doesn't really have any friends or love interests (he was originally moved in as someone's boyfriend, but after they passed, he became a boarder here). If he dies before the dog, I guess the dog will placehold until someone new can move in. Otherwise, the house will become vacant unless he finds someone to move in and take over.
Happy Simming!

Tosha Go is a former townie who lives in the house that was owned for a long time by Felicia Roseland, who was also a former townie (she was once married to Cyd Roseland). Felicia had an extra bedroom in the house so she lived with a series of roommates who helped with bills and child care for her son Jasper. Tosha is the last of these roommates to move in before Felicia died. Jasper is currently at Uni and doesn't plan to return here when he graduates, so it's effectively become Tosha's. I have to admit that I find Tosha exceptionally boring. She's a vampire with the LTW to have a Golden Anniversary, which can never happen. She has no job as there's still plenty of money left over from when Felicia was here. She has friends, but no serious romantic prospects. I thought something interesting might happen this round when one of her friends invited her downtown for an outing, but all she did the whole time was stand around. Gavin Jacquet greeted her at least and they have three bolts, so maybe that will eventually become something? I'm thinking of moving in another roommate just to have someone more interesting to play here.
Next we have Wanda and Gabe Smith. Wanda has three children from her first marriage to Stephen Tinker: Melody, Cord, and Octavius. Melody lives on the commune and the twins are at Uni. In addition, Wanda and Gabe have two adopted sons together: Weldon and Amar, who are both teens. Gabe works in the Business career and Wanda competes in cooking contests for extra cash. This round they decided to adopt another baby, despite the fact that they can't afford to pay college funds for the four kids who still need them...and the fact that their two kids still at home are already teens...and the fact that Wanda is 68 and will be lucky to live long enough to see the baby grow to child. Normally I wouldn't allow someone as elderly as Wanda to adopt, but since Gabe is significantly younger and has the LTW to Marry Off 6 Children, I figured one more would really be beneficial to him.
That's it for now. Happy Simming!

Today we have Jessie Dreamer Tellerman Larson, one of my favorite sims. Jessie is the daughter of Brandi and Darren Dreamer and she still lives in the original Dreamer house, though it's been modified and added to over the years. You may be wondering just how many kids Darren and Brandi had. You already know that Brandi had three sons with Skip and Darren had Dirk with Darleen, but together they had another five: Celeste, Jessie, Drake, and twins Chelsea and Sasha. The youngest four are the only ones still living and Jessie is 81 this round. I've always liked Jessie, partly because her roots run so deep in this town, but also because she always perseveres even through the worst of times. As a teen, Jessie had a crush on her best friend Matthew Larson (son of Jason and Marisa Larson), but he never noticed and ended up marrying someone else. Jessie was pretty sad about that and rebounded to Matthew's cousin Brandon Tellerman (son of Jodie and Komei Tellerman). They got married and had a son Mason (he's in prison now), but then she caught Brandon cheating and the marriage ended. Not long after, Matthew's marriage broke up as well and he finally gave Jessie a chance. They got married right away, but Jessie also caught him cheating within days of their wedding, ending that marriage as well. Afterwards Jessie gave birth to their twins, Daniel and Brianna. With two disastrous marriages behind her, Jessie decided she'd never marry again, but still wanted to expand her family, so she adopted two more daughters, Brooke and Alyssa. She supported all five of her children by herself by working in Law Enforcement and eventually opening a home gallery to sell some of her father's work, as well as her pottery. All her kids are grown now, though Alyssa is still at Uni, and she has eight grandchildren and one great-grandson. Daniel still lives in the main house with her and Brianna moved into the guest house after a recent breakup. Jessie is retired now, but continues to run the gallery. Daniel has the LTW to own five top businesses, so he's running a bookstore in town, which just this round reached level 10. As soon as his cashier (Lisa Ramirez) is eligible he will promote her to manager and start looking for a new business. Brianna is working in the Athletic career, which is tough to do as a vampire, but she just needs one more promotion to get to the top, so she's making it work.

Today we're visiting Jonathan and Demi Greaves. Jonathan is a former townie with six children: Evan Broke (who we met yesterday), twins Isabelle and Sydney, Lauren, Kylie, and Emily. Evan is the product of a long ago relationship with Jade Broke (who is now deceased), the three older girls (who we met at Uni) are from his first marriage to Ivy Copur (who died shortly after Lauren was born), and the two younger girls are from his second and current marriage to Demi (a former hobby lot director). Jonathan also has four grandchildren via Evan, but he hasn't had much contact with them since he and Evan are not close. To say Jonathan's life has been a struggle would be an understatement. After a nasty breakup with Jade in which she cheated on him and then cut him out of his son's life, Jonathan was so happy to find Ivy. I thought they'd be together long term, but the game had other plans. When the twins were toddlers and Ivy was pregnant with Lauren she invited some friends over for an outing (usually I have them go out, but she was super pregnant and couldn't leave the lot) while Jonathan was at work. Unfortunately the outing did not go well at all due to Ivy giving birth in the middle of it. On top of that, the negative mood hit at the end of the outing was enough to send Ivy into hunger failure and she died. No one in the house was old enough to plead for her, but I was able to save and grab a Servo from the bin before the girls got taken by the Social Worker. Poor Jonathan returned home to find he had a third daughter and no wife. He was a single dad for a while after before finally meeting and marrying Demi. They had two daughters of their own and are both now elders. Jonathan is Chief of Staff now, but Demi has consistently struggled in her Culinary career and consequently, doesn't make much money, which means they still struggle financially, especially with five daughters still needing college money. Though they managed to make the college fund payments this round, they're ending the round with just $740 in their pockets.
Next up are Hailey Cox and Evan Dreamer. Hailey is the daughter of Marion and Kennedy Cox. She has one brother, but also two biological half-sisters (Rhonda and Nadine) on Marion's side who were taken by the Social Worker before she was born. She has four children: Kimberli (who we met at boarding school, adopted), Hunter (adopted), Noah (the product of an affair with Alvin Broke, who we met earlier), and Brendan (her son with Evan, who was born this round). Evan (adopted son of Drake Dreamer and coincidentally the brother of Rhonda after she was also adopted by Drake) used to be married to plant sim Myra (who we met earlier) and they have two daughters together: Claire and Caryl. (They also had four plant sons while married, but they are not technically related to Evan.) Claire is at Uni and Caryl lives with Myra. If you made it through all that, what it boils down to is that only the three boys live with them. Hunter is a child, Noah a toddler, and Brendan an infant, but they will all grow up next round. Hailey has never had a traditional job; she's working on her sports hobby, so that she can start a home business in which she instructs others in sports. However, she's not there yet and has burned through all the inheritance left by her parents. Evan didn't bring much money in with him when he moved in (he and Myra were pretty broke), but he does have a good job in Oceanography. One income, however, may not be enough to support three kids, plus provide college money to three more.
Next up is Megan Broke. Megan is the daughter of David and Alicia Ottomas; she has three living siblings and twin sons (Jason and Travis) with her former husband Evan Broke, who we met yesterday. She's also a vampire, which made it pretty tough to raise twins on her own initially, but now that they're teens she's able to delegate some responsibility to them. Megan hasn't been particularly lucky in love. Her marriage didn't work out and then she got involved with Mason Tellerman just prior to his arrest and conviction. She's still carrying a torch for him and hasn't really dated since he got locked up. This round she took the boys out for dinner and I had hoped she'd meet someone nice, but despite there being a few eligible men to choose from, she refused to even talk to anyone other than her sons. Jason briefly rolled the want to attend private school, which I think is more about the cute girl he met who goes to Briarwood than a desire for quality education, however since he and his brother are only one day away from graduating I didn't really entertain the idea.

Today we'll meet Lakshmi and Evan Broke. Lakshmi is the daughter of Gabe Landry and Kendal Greaves. She has five siblings and six children from three marriages. I think I mentioned her briefly when updating her son Tyler. Her first marriage was to Mason Tellerman (who is now in prison) and resulted in three kids: Caryl, Ben, and Tyler. Her second marriage was to Gavin Jacquet (who we met earlier) and resulted in one son: Ricky. Her third and current marriage is to Evan Broke; they have twins: Declan and Tara. Evan is the son of Jade Broke and Jonathan Greaves. He has a whopping 10 siblings and four children from two marriages. His first marriage was to Megan (Ottomas) Broke and resulted in twin sons: Jason and Travis. Altogether that's eight kids, plus Lakshmi has a grandson as well. Caryl and Ben are adults, Tyler's a young adult, Jason and Travis are teens, Ricky is a child, and Declan and Tara are toddlers. Add to that three dogs, two cats, and a partridge in a pear tree and you have the chaos that is their life. Their marriage is shaky at best which is not all that surprising when you consider that they both cheated on their former spouses with each other and are now both having affairs with other sims. The only thing they don't have to worry about is money; they have plenty of it to go around, which is handy with so many college funds to contribute to. It remains to be seen if this couple can hold things together or not.

Today we have sisters Holly Andersen and Naomi Landgraab. They are the adopted daughters of Meredith Landgraab (daughter of Lucy and Malcolm, sister of Stephen). Besides each other they have five other siblings. Holly recently got married to Mallory Andersen (a former townie) and this round they adopted a baby girl named Hope. Holly has the 20 puppies/kittens want and is about halfway through it. Mallory is just starting out in the Education career, while working on her online masters degree. Naomi owns the rec center in town and is trying to earn $100K. Last round she discovered she was pregnant from a casual encounter and has decided to give the baby up when it's born.
Next we have Solveig Bachman and Ratna Platz. They're not married, but have been together for a long time. Solveig is a former townie who used to be involved with Justin Kim (they have twins together), then she married a townie, Remington Bachman, who went to prison where he died, and now she's with Ratna (also a former townie). Though she and Ratna never had any children together, Solveig does have an adopted son who moved back in after college. The twins live elsewhere. She and Ratna are both at the top of their careers, Politics and Medicine, respectively. Their current LTWs are to Max Skills and Earn $100K, so I've kept them working where they are. Solveig's son Todd is in the Intelligence field and is dating around, but isn't ready to settle down just yet.
