Round 2 – The West Family

The West family makes it through another round! Unfortunately it’s one of the more boring families. Even though I’ve installed ACR and Jennifer is a romance sim, things remain pretty tame for this family. Maybe I shouldn’t have made family her secondary aspiration

Without me ranting any further about the lack of drama in this family, I hope you enjoy the next season in the life of the good mayor Michael West, his loving wife Jennifer and their darling daughter Maya!

The West Family – Baby hit me one more time!

Things were moving along pretty smoothly for the West family. Their beautiful baby girl grew up into a adorable toddler. She hardly ever cried, always amused herself with her toys and was potty trained in no time at all.

The roles in the West family were pretty traditional. Michael refused to get his hands dirty with changing the diapers. He occasionally brought little Maya a bottle, but the rest was up to Jennifer. The poor woman hardly had any time to get clothed decently.

Michael was far to busy to get himself involved with such things. He much rather spend his time smooching with his colleagues, like Benjamin Long, to make sure he was still in the rat race. One of their favorite topics was where you could buy the best business suits.

So once they were alone at night, Jennifer used all her charms to get Michaels attention. “Oh sweety, I missed you so much, kiss, kiss, kiss…” Little Maya was taking up all her time, so she really never had the opportunity to get romance from any other than Michael.

Desperate as she was for Michaels attention she wasn’t always very careful. And before she knew it, morning sickness was raising it’s ugly head again.

She tried to bring the news carefully to Michael, but he nearly choked on his spaghetti. They were finally bringing in some money, but a new baby would again be a burden on their finances. “Well it’s not like I planned this Michael, but it still is our baby!”

The nanny felt the tension was increasing between Michael and Jennifer. So when Maya’s next birthday was coming up she decided to have a little chat with Michael. “Mr Mayor, I took the liberty of arranging a birthday cake for the little Maya’s birthday. Won’t you come and see?” After she lured Michael into the kitchen she decided to make her move. “Your looking very handsome today, have you been to the hairdresser recently?”

Michael was experienced enough to realize what the nanny was up to so he quickly changed the subject. “Oh the cake looks wonderful, let’s call for Jennifer and Maya!”

Jennifer took Maya to the birthday cake and together they blew out the candles. Of course she grew into a beautiful little girl.

She turned out to be very outgoing and playful. She would make a very good romance sim, but fate (aka the dice) will determine that eventually.

To be continued…

Author’s Note: I expected that ACR would make this household a bit more interesting. Aside from the cheeky nanny (yes, she really does think Michael is hot!), ACR only made Michael and Jennifer interact with each other. The new pregnancy was totally their own decision.
