Willow Creek

Spencer-Kim-Lewis

Scenario:

Okay, here’s the breakdown. Dennis Kim and Lydia Spencer had a daughter named Alice Spencer-Kim, then divorced. Alice married Eric Lewis and had her own little girl, Olivia Spencer-Kim-Lewis. They live with Alice’s dad (Dennis, remember?) and Eric’s mom, Vivian Lewis. Hey, no one ever said family was easy!

This complicated family lives in a contemporary-style home with three floors, amongst a beautiful foliage-filled landscape. The first floor is great for entertaining guests with spacious rooms for chatting and even a bar for those awkward moments that require a drink. All of the adults are comfortably unemployed, living off their savings, but how long will that last? Especially with so many moods to keep happy!

Goth

Scenario:

The Goths are an aristocratic family with a dreary aura. Between Mortimer writing macabre stories and Bella’s mysterious disappearances, will Cassandra and Alexander grow up to be gloomy too?

The Goth home looks like a haunted house, both inside and out. Most of the living space is on the first two floors with a single bedroom in the attic on the third floor. While the children go to school during the day, both parents also work. Mortimer tends to more cerebral pursuits as a writer, while Bella is a secret agent who enjoys partying. Because both of their careers require a computer, you might want to get a couple of good computers right at the start so they can both work at the same time on their job-related skills.

Pancakes

Scenario:

Poor, poor Bob and Eliza—have they ever been happy? It seems there’s nothing one can do to please the other. Just what is keeping this couple together? Or conversely, what is the spark that will finally drive them apart?

The Pancakes are a diverse couple, and their house reflects their relationship. While the kitchen, dining room, and living room are all downstairs, the upstairs is essentially divided into two halves so that both Bob and Eliza have their own bedrooms and bathroom. One of the challenges is that while Bob is a slob, Eliza is neat. It might be a good idea to get Eliza a job right away to save Bob from the daily torture of her neat-freak attitude!

BFF

Scenario:

Free spirit Liberty, cheerful Summer, and geeky Travis are unlikely friends, and nothing can come between the three. Except perhaps the growing feelings both Summer and Liberty have for Travis…

These friends live in a single-story home in the neighborhood with the lowest cost homes. It features a nice area for a garden, though none of the Sims begin with the Gardening skill. The kitchen features a complete bar, which is great for Summer to practice the skills for her career. There is also room in the yard for Liberty to build a rocketship for her career. Each of the three friends has their own bedroom; however, there is only one bathroom. If you plan on expanding, a second bathroom might be a good idea. Each of the girls share some traits with Travis, so both have an opportunity to move the friendship into a more romantic direction. Who knows, maybe in this case, three’s company.
