The Life of Rosie Carlisle

Image
This is just a one off story about a sim and her life and family I had a year or so ago. I don't think I have many screenshots at all, but hopefully you enjoy it nonetheless! Most things that occurred were random through mods, but I love that because it created so much drama and excitement! The story starts very dramatic and the drama only builds, but it hits a certain point in the gameplay when things became more calm and nothing crazy happened. As this is from so long ago, I'm writing this from memory. This means that there's a point in the story with a huge time jump, and it seems to end quite abruptly. For that I can only apologise. I do hope you enjoy the rest of the story though, and it is definitely worth reading to the end for all that drama that comes with it! I present to you, the life of Rosie Carlisle! * Our story starts with Rosie Carlisle, a child sim with two younger brothers, a mum and a dad. The dad, Richard, was an awful person, he was secretly cheating on

6. Harper the Super Sim - The Beginning of It All...

Image
 The Challenge The goal of the super sim challenge is to have one sim complete every skill to the maximum, complete every aspiration entirely, and reach the top level of every career. Typically, this challenge starts with a young adult sim, but I wanted to add my own personal twist and have the super sim be a child, that way I can have them reach level ten of the children skills as well as achieving all four of the childhood aspirations. I considered starting the challenge with the super sim as a toddler, but decided to have them as a child as then I could really get into the challenge sooner. Plus it makes sense story-wise... most toddlers develop their skills because their parents teach them, and a lot of toddlers don't strive to be the best. However, when someone reaches their childhood, this is when they become more aware of their skills and wanting to be 'the best'. For this reason, I decided to make it a part of the story. Our super sim realised at school just how sma

5. Meet the Hawthorne Family - Jumps Through Time

Image
Before getting into the story, I want to apologise for not having posted in such a long time! I had some personal things going on (nothing bad or anything) but it took up a lot of time. This just meant that when I did have spare time, I didn't really fancy writing. Then I spent a couple of weeks away from actually playing the game, which made it even more difficult to find motivation to write! But now I'm back with the Hawthorne's and back to their story. I don't want to commit to saying I'll publish a story every week, because life does get in the way, and in the next week or so I'm starting back at both work and uni... so it might be more difficult. But I'm doing this forewarning now in advance, so I don't just disappear this time! Another thing before actually starting, I did a poll on twitter to figure out if I should stick to writing the backstories in detail, or if I should jump forward to the actual gameplay. The gameplay vote just beat out the ba

4. Meet the Hawthorne Family - How They Fell In Love...

Image
When we last left off, Kira and Bianca has just met for the first time. They had no idea that their futures were to intertwine together so perfectly... **TW ~ death** After the work party at the weekend, Bianca couldn't wait to get to work on Monday. And not for her usual reasoning of wanting to work hard so she could eventually get enough money for her own place, but because she wanted to see Kira again. She resisted messaging Kira over the weekend and decided to she would wait until they saw each other at work, not wanting to seem desperate or clingy. When Monday lunchtime came, Bianca decided to message Kira and ask about grabbing some food, as she hadn't seen her in the office all morning. She waited in the break room for a response for twenty minutes before Kira replied: "Oh I am so sorry! I completely forgot to message and let you know sooner, but my little boy wasn't feeling too well this morning so I had to take the day off to look after him. Really sorry again

3. Meet the Hawthorne Family - How They Met...

Image
 Both Kira and Bianca have now been introduced, but their stories are yet to intertwine. Until now... * Two weeks into her new job, Bianca had already exceeded the expectations of Viola's parents, Nancy and Michael. She was out-performing the other employees in her rank and put in more hours than they'd seen anyone do before for them. In almost no time, Bianca could officially call herself a professional and official editor. Meanwhile, Kira was still adjusting to being an assistant in the new office environment. She never had a job like this before, being self-employed as a writer. She didn't give up on her dream, and continued writing as and when she could, but balancing a full-time job whilst being a single mum to a young toddler was hard enough. In mid-August, Nancy and Michael threw an office party to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of their publishing firm, Benton's Publishing Agency. Everyone was invited, and both Bianca and Kira were dreading it. As the bosses

2. Meet the Hawthorne Family - Bianca

Image
 You've been introduced to Kira, now is time to meet Bianca. These two weren't always married, so let's go back to the start of Bianca's story, long before she met Kira...  Bianca Chadwick comes from a very upper-class, traditional family, who always expected a lot from her. Her parents, Christopher and Lucille, had struggled with having children throughout their marriage, so when Bianca was born, the two treasured her and spoilt her rotten. Although she appreciated why they were doing this, Bianca felt smothered by her parents and as though they would set unrealistic expectations for her. Everything she did just didn't feel like enough to satisfy them. Life felt hard enough through her childhood, and things didn't get better when she became a teenager. Her parents were always trying to set her up with their friends' rich sons, but Bianca couldn't force feelings that weren't there. She responded to her parents by saying she didn't want a relation

1. Meet the Hawthorne Family - Kira

Image
 So before we get into the challenge aspect, let's start with a bit of context and introduce our first Sim... Kira Hawthorne is a loving and warm lady who always dreamt of a large family. She married her high school sweetheart, David, at a young age and not long after, gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, Trey. Kira worked from home as a struggling author, while David was climbing on up in the business career. For a short time, everything seemed fine. That was until Kira decided to surprise David at work one lunch, but discovered David was having an affair with a co-worker. Distraught, Kira immediately left and waited for David to come home and explain himself. But he didn't. Not for a little while at least. About a week had passed before David came home to his family. He informed Kira that he felt rushed in their relationship, and he had never wanted a family, just a bit of fun. Kira was fuming. Why hadn't he told her this before they were married and had a baby?! She made
