The Life of Rosie Carlisle

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 Rosie’s mum, Tayla, and one day Rosie caught him. They got into a huge fight about this and Rosie told her mum, who appreciated it but stayed with Richard for their family, but they slept in different rooms and there was no real love. Rosie’s dad then hated Rosie for ‘ruining’ the family and those two fell out and hated each other big time. This caused Rosie to have quite bad daddy issues and wasn’t the best with relationships growing up… 

Cut to when she’s a teen. Rosie’s best friend Lola, had an older brother, Jonah, who Rosie had a huge crush on. Jonah was known for being a bad boy and a player though, so the two would flirt but nothing would come from it. 

When Rosie turned into a young adult, she left her family home straight away and moved to the city. She missed her brothers and mum, but she couldn’t be near her dad any longer. On that first night in the city, she threw a mini housewarming party in her apartment. Her school friends, including Lola and Jonah came, along with her new neighbours and mum. Rosie got a little bit tipsy (I use slice of life and mccc so this actually made her drunk), and at the end of the party, she slept with Jonah. The following day she started her new job in the culinary career, as her dream was always to run a restaurant. But a day or so later, Rosie wasn’t feeling too well… she took a pregnancy test and it came back positive (this was all unplanned, I hadn’t intended for this!) She called up Jonah and told him, and he said he didn’t want anything to do with the baby. That was the last contact they had. Rosie was devastated because she had only just turned into a young adult, had just started a new job and a new life in the city, and it was all going to change because of a baby! But when the baby came, she loved him so much that he was her new world and focus, and she would do anything for little Harvey.

Some time went by, and even though Lola and Rosie’s mum would help where possible, Rosie was struggling financially. She had a spare room in her apartment, so decided to rent it out. This is when she met Sam. The two got along really well and became quick friends. Sam would help with Harvey, who was now a toddler, and would pay Rosie rent for his room, making Rosie’s life so much easier. 

One night, after Harvey was asleep, Rosie and Sam were watching a film together, then things got a little heated after some casual flirting, and they ended up sleeping together. The next morning they decided that neither actually wanted a relationship, but were both interested in each other. So they decided to have a casual friends with benefits romance! This went on for a little while, until a new man moved into the apartment opposite, James. James was immediately smitten with Rosie and would ask her on dates all the time, but she would always turn him down, saying she wasn’t looking for anything serious. 

One evening, Lola and Jonah’s parents (Harvey’s grandparents) were throwing a formal party, and they insisted Rosie come along and bring Harvey too. Rosie agreed but couldn’t stand the idea of seeing Jonah, especially without a date. Sam was busy that evening, so she asked James. Of course he said yes and was more than delighted to go along with Rosie. So the pair went to the party so Harvey could spend time with his family, and Rosie and James started to get along better than they had before. Rosie didn’t want to admit it, but she had growing feelings for James…

That’s not all that occurred that night. Being Rosie’s best friend, obviously Lola was always visiting her in the city. Which meant she developed a growing crush on Rosie’s roommate, Sam… this only made things more awkward.

Lola liked Sam. Rosie liked James. But Rosie and Sam were sleeping together? This was when Rosie knew she had to break things off with Sam, it wasn’t fair on anyone. Sam agreed with the decision, as he was starting to develop feelings for Lola as well. So Sam and Lola began a casual relationship, as did Rosie and James.

Things were all going well, the relationships were blossoming, Harvey was doing great at school, what could go wrong? Well… maybe an unexpected pregnancy?

Rosie told James about it, worried he would run off just as Jonah did all those years ago when Rosie told him the same news. But James was different, he was surprised but thrilled and was more than happy to support Rosie. He suggested he move into the apartment with her, and they could save up together to get a new house. Because of this, Sam decided it was best he moved out so he wouldn’t be a third wheel. It was a small apartment after all, so it wouldn't fit three adults, a child and a new baby. 

Time passed and Rosie gave birth to baby Maisie. Harvey was delighted to be a big brother and loved his little sister. Everything was going great again… that was until someone moved into James’ old apartment opposite Rosie’s… none other than Jonah. He claimed to have matured, that he regretted how he treated Rosie, and he wanted to get to know his son. Rosie didn’t want to take this opportunity away from Harvey, so she agreed that the two could meet. But she was to be there at all times. Harvey and Jonah developed a relationship, and though Rosie was still mad at Jonah for abandoning her and her son, she was delighted to see how happy Harvey was with his dad.

One day, while Harvey was at school, and James was looking after Maisie, Jonah invited Rosie around. He wanted to talk to her and apologise about everything. They had a huge heart-to-heart conversation, and things really felt like they were healing. But one thing led to another, and we know our Rosie… the two ended up sleeping together. After it happened, Rosie was so frustrated at herself and Jonah, she’d done the exact thing that had broken up her family as a child! Distraught, she left the apartment and was going back home to tell James everything… that was when she walked into a room full of candles and roses… and James down on one knee… he was proposing to her. Overwhelmed with emotions, Rosie forgot everything she had come to say, and started to cry and accepted James’ proposal. As young lovers and newly-engaged sims do, the pair got swept up in the romance and took things to the bedroom…

A few days later, once again, Rosie started to feel unwell. It was a familiar feeling she had twice before, so decided to take a pregnancy test. Positive. The only issue being, who was the father? She had slept with both James and Jonah on the same day, so it was an equal chance to be either of theirs… Rosie decided now wasn’t the time to confess her affair to James, being pregnant and engaged, as well as with two young kids, she couldn’t risk doing it all alone, so she kept the secret and didn’t tell James there was a possibility it wasn’t his…

James and Rosie decided to put off their wedding until the baby was born, so spent until then saving for a new house and their wedding. The day came that Rosie was due to give birth, still unsure who the father was… 

That was until she was in hospital giving birth… to twin girls. Bonnie and Scarlett were born. (I looked on the family tree, and they were… Jonah’s).  

Rosie still didn’t tell James that the girls weren’t his biologically, he loved them too much and she couldn't bear taking that away from him.

Not long after the twins were born, James and Rosie’s big day came along. The two celebrated their new marriage, but agreed that four children was enough! They soon moved into their new house, and the kids all grew up. Rosie was still working at the restaurant, but never got around to buying her own. Her family drama always seemed to get in the way…

Years down the line, when the kids were grown up and Rosie and James were elders, they all decided to go to a restaurant to celebrate Harvey’s engagement. At the end of the meal, the most heartbreaking thing happened. Surrounded by her family, and in the restaurant of her dreams, old Rosie Carlisle passed away...
