The Smith Dynasty(completed)

[ratchie]

Thank you all for reading it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside to think that someone actually reads my little tale.

I know this is totally random but I thought I would show up all a picture of Esk's little workshop. I was going to include it in my previous post but it seemed a little insensitive. Yeah,yeah Herbert died look at Esk's workshop.


As you can see it has all the necessities of life. Even a couch so that Esk can invite boys over and maybe have a little privacy without her family interupting them. There is no bed of course because she doesn't need that much privacy until she is married.

Interesting story! But what else could it be: containing 16 pages of story and fanmail. Nicely done Ratchie!

Rachel, this is so touching, even with that workshop showoff in between! And that little graveyard with portraits and flowers, so sensitive and beautiful. But you find the way to make me smile. Limited privacy access before marriage

[Asleep]

How touching.

Awww, Ratchie!  That was so sad, yet so sweet.  I never was able to get my ghosts to admit they even knew their old spouses.  Maybe it's been changed during one of the updates.  Haven't had a ghost around in quite some time.

I love her little hideaway!  All the conveniences plus a place to take a nap or have a bit of a cuddle.  I love it.

Again we reach the point where not a lot happens.


Why have I suddenly developed an interest in fishing?
Your a loner and loner equals fishing.
Yeah right now what is the real reason.
That is the real reason!
Wouldn't have something to do with the family fisherman passing on would it.
Just get on with the fishing will you.

You can see the Smith Manor in the back ground of this picture. I am not the best builder but it will do.


Should you be pointing that thing there.
I am a professional I know exactly what I am doing.
What exactly are you doing?
Vasectomy.
What!
Is that a problem?
Help!
I don't really see the problem what is so wrong with having a vasectomy in the graveyard with no anaesthesia.
Argh!
Sheesh men such babies!

Who is this Esk?
His name is Jerod.
Well tell Jerod that your eyes are slightly higher then where he is looking right now.

Kiss me now Jerod you great big hunk you!
Get home right now young lady.
But he likes to flirt.
I know that is what I am worried about.

[Asleep]

Eh? What are you worried about?

[ratchie]

Most parents of teenage girls worry about them going too far with flirting,kissing etc with boys. That is what I am worried about.

I don't think I want any type of surgery without sterility or anesthesia! That's a horrific thought. 

Rachel, if I could make one suggestion. The way your story is written in dialog and the fact that there are many stories to read, I sometimes find it hard to figure out/remember which characters are in each of the pictures. Perhaps a short caption under the pictures providing the Sims' names would help me to know who the characters are, and help me follow the story a little better. I don't mean to offend or criticize, your story is beautifully written.

[ratchie]

That is a good idea I will do that from now on.

A quick update on the family members

Esk spends all of her free time working on the inventing skill.I hardly ever let her out unless its to go to school or the junkyard.

Laron goes fishing occasionally writes books but mostly does whatever he likes.

Sunset has supermaxed the athletic skill. Which has to be the easiest skill to supermax. She is level seven of the athletic career path and still has around ten days till she ages up to elder.Other then her elder portrait and a few more promotions Sunset is pretty much done as far as dynasty requirements go.

Kumquat goes to work and that is about it. I feel sorry for her she has not had much fun in her life.

Bronte does whatever she likes. She mostly likes playing gnubb or having a game of darts. She seems to be enjoying immortality.

Hebe like Bronte pretty much does whatever she wants. She spends a lot of time playing some kind of music. She has so many friends now I cannot keep up with them all. She also has several friends from different countries but she has never travelled maybe she met them when they were visiting Sunset Valley.

I loved seeing Thornton come out for awhile.  Your Dynasty is coming along nicely.

Got that RIGHT!  I've a buxon teen age babe I constantly fret over in my head.  Not to her of course.  I love the comment about where his eyes were.
