Thank you, Hazel and Butterfly.

Interlude 3: It Takes Two To Tango So now the Frio dynasty moves to their fourth home: 14 Sierra Tango Street, Sunset Valley. The Leader of the Free world travels in style in a huge limo, which created a bit of a traffic jam in the corner of Maywood Lane and Sierra Tango Street.
The household consists of Melonie Blair and her mother Kelli (who does not get any face time in this chapter), Richard Frio and sisters Justina Frio and Gail Sheets.
The posse had hardly settled into the house after the wedding, when Justina started cheering.
Her wedding day happened to be her birthday, too. Bart Frio - Richard's second cousin - was present to cheer on the birthday girl...
... but in fact he was here for this: Gail wanted to pop the question.
Bart of course accepted and the couple celebrated their union in the bedroom as is often the custom in the Sims (or at least in my games). We let them have their privacy and move on to check on the new wardrobes of our main couple:
Richard only got new sets of everyday and formal wear. His position requires him to be properly dressed at all times.
Also Justina's wardrobe reflects her new status in the society - and her age. She got three sets of formal wear, but I seem to have taken a pic of only one of them. As you can see, her favourite colour is lime and other favourites roots music and dim sum.
This is what Justina thinks of her new look. She is neurotic, clumsy, perceptive, light sleeper and artistic.
Her LTW is to be Pervasie Private Eye and she registers as a private eye first thing next morning. Sadly it is most likely that she will not reach her goal considering her age and the difficulty of the LTW.
In the evening, Gail and Bart have a private wedding under the starry skies.
Bart took his wife's surname and is now Bart Sheets. He also moved into the household temporarily.
The wedding was a "shotgun wedding".
We fast forward a few days: the first born of Gail and Bart is already a toddler. Wonder what will become of little Roger when his first word is so grim.
With Roger a toddler and a second child on the way (this was why I let them stay in the household for so long), it was finally time for the Sheets to move out.
The game threw them into the lofty Ye Olde Tudor at 325 Oak Grove Road.
Now finally Justina and Richard have the house almost to themselves (Kelli and Melonie Blair still live with them).
The house seemed almost too empty, so they immediately got down to business to fill it up again.
And they were successful: generation four of the Frio DecaDynasty is on the way.
Richard could not be more excited when he hears the news.
This is not Richard Justina is talking to - although even I mistakenly thought so when I saw the picture - but a client whose case she just solved. She worked right down the final stages of her pregnancy.
A classic shot of a sim giving birth and the father panicking in the background.
Ladies and gentlemen: meet the next heir of this decadynasty Herakles Frio and his twin brother Herod. The heir's pretty unique name was the name of the day at
Behind the name. The heir was born just within the 10 day limit after moving into the new house.
Nothing, not even a stone wall, can stop the gnomes from taking over this Frio house, too.
