I just thought I'd take a break from the narration to introduce you to Serena's new family, the Annan's. All of the family members DESPERATELY needed new outfits, they were all mismatched and terrible. Once that was complete, I was able to get some pictures.
First of all, there's Phillip. His traits are over-emotional, absent-minded, virtuoso, hydrophobic, and artistic. His LTW is to become a Master of the Arts. So far he has 2 points in guitar, 3 in fishing, and 6 in handiness. To bad he couldn't have 6 points in something that might actually help complete his LTW. He's currently unemployed, although his hair do really makes me want to enroll him in the music career.
His parents are Finn & Flora. Finn is absent-minded, easily impressed, coward, genius, and angler. His LTW is to be a Star News Anchor, currently he's working in the athletic career as a rabid fan (level 1). He has 6 fishing and 6 handiness points. No writing skills at all. *sigh* I sense a theme, and may have my work cut out for me!
Flora is a great kisser, bookworm, green thumb, lucky, and handy. Her LTW is to become a 5 Star Chef, and check it out! She's actually in the culinary career, at level 3 she has a long way to go though. She also only has 2 cooking points, and some other useless points in athletic and guitar.
Phillip has 1 older sister and 2 younger sisters. Fern is the oldest. She is neat, never-nude, childish (uh oh!), charismatic, and athletic. She wants to complete the Golden Tongue, Golden Fingers LTW. She is unemployed, and has 10 logic, 10 handiness, and 5 cooking... none of which help complete her LTW. *sigh*
Just barely into her Young Adulthood, Fawn is just slightly younger than Phillip. She has a good sense of humor, savy sculptor, party animal, perfectionist, and snob traits. Her LTW is to be a CEO, and she has 9 painting, 4 guitar, and 2 handiness points. She is currently unemployed.
Daisy is the youngest of the family. She actually aged up from teen to young adult during Philip & Serena's wedding party so I was able to quickly choose a LTW for her. She hates the outdoors, and is a good, hydrophobic, grumpy, genius. I picked the International Super Spy for her, at the time I only knew that she was a genius and I thought with such a large family it might be easier to pick a rabbit hole job for her. Her only skill is 1 point in cooking.
So that's Serena's new family! At this point in the game, my current goal is to get Serena pregnant, get all the family members into appropriate careers (even though Finn & Flora probably have no chance of completing their LTW, I'd still like to give it a shot), and start setting them up to work on skills that might actually help them reach their LTW. For each sim that completes their LTW before Serena's baby ages to young adulthood I get a bonus point. So far my score is at 1, and with such a large family I have the chance of raising that score quite a bit.
