My Ursine-Frio family household Challange

[jeanamariex3]

I'm a newbie so sorry this isn't under the right topic. Anyways based on player stories, and some being simular to mine, I'm going to make a challange for myself with both Ursine and Frio households. Half of you decide to have Claire a single mother keeping Jared out of the picture, while the other half (including myself) have Jared actively involved, by either gaining full custody, getting Jared and Claire back together and a proper family, or killing off Claire. Anyways, I decided to do BOTH stories at the same time: Claire is going to plan on being a single mother to her new daughter, keeping Jared out of the picture, but Jared will be involved behind Claire's back. What do you all think of this? In order to achieve this, I'm going to keep Claire busy at the gym, fishing spots, or even other people's houses (thanks to her klepto-trait), and have her advance in her criminal career (make sure her energy hits rock bottom while she does a side job, so she'll get arrested), basically anything to get her out (and require a babysitter), and while Claire thinks the babysitter is looking after her daughter when Jared's really doing the job, teaching her to walk, potty, and providing books and toys. Both house holds will have the nessassary toys and books, and Claire will think her daughter taught herself how to walk and potty.

That sounds very interesting.
But I'm not sure how you're going to mangage, seeing that you can only control one house at a time, and when you're controlling Jared, you'll only have a very narrow gap for him to be with the new baby before Claire gets home.
Good luck, though

The work of "edit town" my friend and keeping Claire extra busy and putting her mood as low as possible with the option "do side job" when at work. It went quite well actually for Jared, not so much for Claire. Danielle ran away to her father (that's her name) changed her surname to Frio, and Claire called the cops on Jared for kidnapping, but since it was concidered a false alarm (as kidnapping doesn't really exist via sims) and attemped to call CPS as well, but even they saw Claire as a neglectant, due to her many arrests, and her career (if you watch Teen Mom, you are aware how horrible and creepy Amber's new boyfriend went down) Jared seems like he's more willing to change, and gain motivation, Claire, on the otherhand, not so much. This is all via story progression too.

Glad it's working for you.
Have fun with Danielle and her parents!

thank you. I can never trust Claire with her daughter anyways. I did play as Claire quite a few times and her daughter (now a child) wasn't living with her. I nearly freaked because I thought she died (she's died quite a few times via story progression, my sim self ran into Connor and he had a grave and the neglectant symbol, turns out his neice DIED in the hands of her horrible criminal mother) I looked next door and Jade (story progression name) was next door with her father and uncle, and her moodlets were very high and she was pulling a B avarage in school. She was best friends with the Keaton's son Bentley (also named by story progression) Misty (Hank and Pauline's daughter) Shanta (Nick and Vita Alto's daughter after Holly) Blake (Thornton and Morgana's son) her father Jared, her uncle Connor, Madison VanWatson (Jared's now girlfriend) and she hated her mother, Xander Clavell and Thornton Wolff (well no suprises with Thornton, I always saw him as the jerk Jared was designed to be: meaning Jared is simply a reformed jerk who changed his bad boy ways in my mind) and she devoloped traits opposite of her mother, Friendly, Good, Vegetarian. I went back to play as Claire, and visited the Frio household, neither Jared nor Jade would let me in. Oh and another time I played: my sim self was a police officer, and Leah Ursine (story progression named her) was crying with a red plumbob in the middle of the police station (i added her via cheats and her hunger was close to rock bottom) so I took her in fed her, gave her love and attention and a fresh diaper, (it was 4am and they needed me down at the police station)

(cont) so I let Leah in for the night since it was too late to visit anyone. I took her back to the Frio household (her relationship was higher with her father than her mother) and Claire followed me inside. She found Jared snuggling their daughter, yelled at him, and then slapped him, after Jared put Leah to bed in her crib. (the weird part of the game was that the story progression named Claire's daughter Leah, and Claire slapped her ex/father of her child in front of everyone around her. Doesn't that remind you of a certian someone off of a certian MTV show?) ever since I saw how badly her daughter had been treated, and had run away to her fathers very frequently, I could never trust Claire with her daughter. She seems to just want to get the pregnancy over with so she can get back to her criminal job. Jared always takes his daughter away via story progression. So I see Jared as a reformed jerk. Oh and Claire will always date Connor (her exes brother) and cheat on him with about 3-4 different married men plus Xander Clavell (or she has an open relationship with Xander) obviously, Claire is no angel and tries to pretend to be by playing the victim in the beginning of the game.
