A Dynasty of Koffi - Update 1-6-2016 - Gen 10 - FINISHED

[fanofaband]

This will get a better title, but first I'd like to play a little game.  This is my first attempt at this, so you'll see any screw up's I make, which should be plenty.  I just hope I have all the rules figured out and I don't forget anything, I have a habit of doing that quite often.

Anyway!  Before I start this up, I'd like for you to guess who my founder is.  It's someone in Sunset Valley, and I've tried to stay away from the usual founders people seem to choose for whatever reason.  It was a personal challenge, but I'm pleased with how things turned out.  So before things get started, can you guess who it is?

[ratchie]

Is it Gobias?

Rachel

[fanofaband]

Haha, yeah, I was hoping no one would get it so quick, but seeing as how he's what, one of two men in the Valley to live alone, I should have figured.  *laughs*  Alright, let's get started!

----------------

My name is Gobias, and I hate my name.  What can I do though, I can't think of anything better than that...  I haven't done anything with my life, even my wish hasn't been fulfilled.  The rest of the town thinks I'm pathetic, and I certainly don't blame them.  So, I figured it was time for a change.  Sunset Valley needs another big name.  The Goths have always been here, then the Landgraab's, and now the Alto's are moving in.  What about me and my family?  The only other one is my father, and it's not like he did much with his life either.

First thing I did was get a new look.  New cloths, new hair, and a new color.  Not bad, don't you think?






I thought I'd changed my look pretty well, so I went out to test it.  Some people were fooled, some weren't, and then I saw Jamie.  I watched her sometimes, I liked her quite a bit, but now she actually noticed me!  How was that even possible?  So we chatted for awhile and found we had a few things in common.


We talked and talked, and I finally told her how I'd felt about her for so long, and we shared a kiss.  I didn't know how things could get any better, and I figured I might as well go for broke, so I asked her to be my girlfriend.  She said yes!

And shortly after, I asked her to marry me.  Another yes!

Neither of us wanted to wait, especially Jamie, seeing what she had missed by ignoring me for so long, and we agreed to have a little ceremony right there.



As soon as we got married we went back home, our home, and I let her get all new clothes.  She loves hot pink, but she tuned it down a little, the house is harsh enough on the eyes as it is (I really need to redecorate soon), and her own tastes are changing just a little bit.  So she decided mainly on white, with some pink accents.


I made us our first dinner as a married couple (Autumn Salad, but neither of us were complaining), and Jamie dragged me upstairs to celebrate the way married couples always do.

Were those chimes I heard?

[AdnaanA]

Great start, Gobias looks really hot !

[loveSims]

Two flirty sims That will be interesting lol! Gobias look great and Jamie is so pretty. Can't wait for the nooboo.

[ratchie]

I recognized Gobias eyes and nose he is quite handsome once you give him some hair. I can't wait to see the new baby I bet he or she(or possibly they) will be really cute.

Rachel

[sharpsiren]

Great beginning! Jamie looks gorgeous. I like that she realizes she's been missing out because she ignored him for so long

[fanofaband]

Glad you're liking it!  Yup, once you change his look up a little (hair, clothes, nix the molestache), he no longer looks like the creepy uncle with the windowless van.  Update coming soon, I have an attention-wanting nooboo of my own to care for right now.

[fanofaband]

Okay, promised update!

----------------

Jamie found out she was pregnant and both of us were thrilled!

Didn't seem like it took too long for her to go into labor.  Just like a woman to want attention when she's hungry, right?  Kidding, kidding...

I took her to the hospital, and after a little while, we brought home our son, Vente Koffi!  We take turns caring for him, we're both in love with the kiddo already.



Vente and Jamie had their birthday on the same day.  Vente to Toddler, and Jamie to Adult.  So I figured I'd throw them a joint birthday party, and invited all of our friends.  Amazingly enough, they all showed up!  Of course, Jamie decided it would be the best time to dance on the counter, but I can tell you this much, I wasn't complaining...


Jamie helped Vente blow out his candles...

...before blowing out her own.


Now?  Vente's a Toddler, and getting into everything he can.  He wants to know why, why, why!  Kiddo's also getting into the crayons already and drawing on the walls, can't tell you how many times we've had to scrub them down.  We'll probably just re-paint the place next time he does it.

Anyway, whenever he's not doing his best to get out of trouble by being cute...

...he's learning to walk, talk, and potty.




...I'm a sucker, but can you blame me?


We found out Jamie's pregnant again!

We were both really hoping for a daughter this time, Jamie even stuffed herself full of watermelons, something about an old wive's tale, but when we came back from the hospital this time, we brought back another son, Danny Koffi.


We've talked about maybe trying one more time for a girl, but we're not sure if we want to yet.  Jamie loves the boys, but she also really wants to get to the top of her career, and all this time off isn't helping her at all.  But we'll see, there might be another one soon either way.

------------

Okay, she ate 9 watermelon and was about to eat another when she went into labor.  Can't believe she had another boy...  Oh well!

[loveSims]

Vente is so cute! When did she eat her first watermelon?

[fanofaband]

Right after the chimes.  That's all she ate until Danny was born, too.

[ArianaJade]

Welcome Vente and Danny! How could Vente get into trouble with those eyes?

[fanofaband]

I'm fairly sure they're the biggest, darkest blue eyes I've ever seen.  *melts*

-------------------

I woke up one morning and went downstairs, only to hear this going on in the bathroom.

I'm guessing she really did want to try for a girl again.  Not that I'm complaining!  My mindset seems to have changed a little since getting married and having the boys, I want a family, a big family, and it seems that Jamie has the same idea.  She was excited when it turned official though!  But who wouldn't?  We have two handsome sons, and I'm sure the new one will be too.


Vente grew into a child.  Jamie wanted to throw a party for him, so that's exactly what we did.  Everyone showed up, and a paparazzi somehow managed to get through the door too.  I ended up chasing him out, who wants them hovering around?  I helped the little man blow out the candles.


Happy to report, there was minimal little man spit on the cake.

Anyone see who he looks like?


We were all a little partied out, the bash for Vente's birthday had been huge and loud, and we were all still feeling it, so when it was Danny's birthday the next day, we just had a little family party.  Jamie helped him blow out his candles this time.

...can you tell he's basically his mother?  He has to be one of the cutest kids I've ever met in my life, and he actually picked out a suit when Jamie was getting him dressed!  I'm not sure if I should watch out for that one or not...

And then Jamie started him on his speaking.  Why they were talking about fire, however, I don't know.  I don't think I want to know...


My wife's been trying to discover a youth potion with her chemistry set.  We both wish we could have more time with the kids, but if she doesn't find it, we'll still be okay.  It's enought to know we're here for them now.  Anyway, she went into labor in front of the chemistry set, and I ran down to take her to the hospital.


When we came home, we'll both admit, we were a little shell-shocked.  Jamie kept trying to get Geoffrey Landgraab to tell her what the baby's gender would be.  No wonder he wouldn't tell her...  We came home with this.

So I'd like you to welcome Jack Koffi...

...Elizabeth Koffi...

...and Isabelle Koffi.


Needless to say, we've agreed not to try for any more children.  As much as we love them all, we have our hands a little too full now, but it should be fun!

[JonMom2009]

Great update!  I keep getting twins in my game and they are a surprise because I am not trying for them!
I can not began to know how to deal with three!

[ratchie]

Wow they are going to be busy on the plus side unlike an immortal dynasty you can move some of the kids out when they reach young adulthood.
