This is why I hate doing housework, it interferes with the important things in life.
So, round 2.
Founding Gen
Couple
1 kid
Primary Income: Angler (Argh...)
Secondary income: Artist (Guess I know who'll actually be making the money.)
Gen Goal: Hobby/Obsession
Fun: Opposites/Perfect Match
Oh you *know* I'm making opposites. Why make this easy on myself? Besides, a couple with 1 kid isn't exactly difficult. (You know, I said that about Ellis & Lillian & see how that ended? I ought to just shut it right now.)
So, lemme introduce you to my lovely Sim couple:
This is Leilani. She's the angler & very outdoorsy.
Her traits are:
Angler
Can't Stand Art
Loves the Outdoors
Loves the Heat
Athletic
She will be obsessed with scuba diving. I think it plays into her love of physical fitness & fishing.
Her favorites are Indie music, grilled salmon & aqua.
She is a Pisces.
This is Quinn. He's far more of a homebody & the artist.
His traits are:
Artistic
Hates the Outdoors
Natural cook
Perfectionist
Hydrophobic
I simply could not resist making him hydrophobic. She loves water, he hates it. He loves art, she can't stand it. She loves nature, he'd rather be curled up on the couch reading a book.
His favorites are Pop music, grilled cheese & spiceberry.
Oh yes, I went all 'spiceberry' with this one. I thought it fit his perfectionist, artistic nature. Besides, I can see Leilani look at him with a look of utter distaste & ask, "What in the hell is a spiceberry??"
He is a Capricorn.
I decided to try Island Paradise again with these two. It used to freeze all the time but I have a new PC now, so here's hoping. I do like it & I'm totally into that laid-back tropical island, daiquiri-in-hand vibe right now.
