Finally the Crumplebottoms!
(Elder) Agnes Crumplebottom - wife/mum
(Adult) Leighton Crumplebottom - husband/dad
(Teen) Patricia Crumplebottom - daughter/sister
(Teen) Ingrid Crumplebottom - daughter/sister
and introducing Missy and Milo! Missy is neat, friendly and lazy, while Milo is quiet, genius, and lazy.
The Crumplebottoms needed a change of scenery so they bought this fabolous house (thanks danefaith!) and settled in:
...with some of their own additions of course:
Leighton is still doing well with his Architect job, and is really making a name for himself. He's become Sultan of Style (career level 9). Agnes divides her time between painting on the balcony, or practicing her cello. She's become an Art Gallery Rookie (painting career level 6), and a Master Bassist by learning all the cello songs. The couple also find time to appreciate each other - love is still very much alive!
Grandma Yumi's grave has been successfully moved into the back yard. Milo and Missy very much enjoy spending time together, and make the most use of their luxury furniture. Both gain the non-destructive trait and Milo also gains the neat trait.
Patricia and Ingrid go to their school prom! Both manage to forget their formal wear. Ingrid has a great time with her date Jason McGraw and she's named Prom Queen! Patricia on the other hand gets a drink thrown in her face upon asking someone to dance. Despite this the sisters are best of friends, and often play games together.
Ingrid gets a Yellow Naped Amazon bird from the pet store, and names him Lago. Ingrid also picked up a new scratching post for the cats. Ingrid is enjoying the drama and art clubs (she's gained 2 sculpting skill and 1 painting skill), while Patricia earns a trophy in her newspaper club. Patricia likes to escape the drama of a teenage life by going to the library to read. Agnes chills out by buying a huge new hot tub! Everyone like's that!
Agnes has a thriving social life, and often goes out to parties. She takes Ingrid to the Grisby's party one night, and Ingrid is soon the life of the party. At home Agnes loves her kitties and family, but she's having trouble with Patricia. She seems to be getting into fights at school, and Anges won't stand for it, so she gives Patricia a sharp warning.
Missy and Milo are oblivious to the dramas of their sims.
Ingrid and Patricia are still feeling betrayed after the breakup of their brother Sam, and Laurel Grisby. In a moment of hot-headedness, the sisters go and egg Laurel's house. Unfortunately the police turn up and Patricia is caught and taken home in the cop car. Agnes is furious and grounds her. Meanwhile Ingrid, somehow evading the police, has a change of heart and ends up having an enlightening conversation with Laurel. At home, Leighton (who hates to discipline his girls), cheers Agnes up, but leaves Patricia to cool down.
Then there is a lovely addition to the family! Missy has given birth to two kittens: Abbey (the fat one) and Arthur, both with the traits friendly and quiet. Aren't they cute?
The kittens soon settle into the family - even Grandma Yumi says hello! And Missy expresses her happiness by yowling along to the music.
It's Patricia's birthday and she invites her only close friend, Gentle Sargeant, over to celebrate with cake. But for a reason completely unknown to Patricia, Gentle arrives only to snub Patricia. Upset, Patricia still manages to have cake (without Gentle), and feels a little better with her family's support.
Patricia gains the workaholic trait, and decides she wants to be a CEO of a Mega-Corporation. Her parents give her some handmade paintings and sketches, as well as a generous gift of simoleons. Patricia chooses a neat new wardrobe, and leaves on good terms with her parents and sister, and takes Arthur with her to her new home.
Life continues for the remaining Crumplebottoms.
Leighton and Agnes work on their art, Sam visits briefly, and Leighton finally starts teaching Ingrid to drive. Agnes is now an Illustrious Illustrator (painting career level 7), and Leighton is now a Dictator of Design (architecture level 10)! He's at painting level 9, and cooking level 3, and now has 3 celebrity stars! Ingrid has gained some charisma.
And so we leave the Crumplebottom family, but we will be dropping in with Patricia again before the end of the round. Next - the Lin family!
