More Cantrell, Cooper and Vega!

Jessamyn Cantrell calls herself a pleasure seeker, but she may as well have been a romance sim.


She had four lovers - Romulus Bonaccord, Nolen Nettles, Ethan Cooper, and downtownie Toby Pons - but that wasn't enough for her. She kept rolling up a want to have five first dates... So she called up the matchmaker and paid enough for at least a decent date.


He's a professor from the recently added La Fiesta Tech, and a romance sim. Not much else to say about him... Except I think it was when he was there that Jessamyn got caught cheating by Ethan Cooper.


He was furious with her, and kept kicking over her trashcan. So she invited him inside and apologized, over and over. I think it was the nightie that got to him, because he seemed to calm down a little after that.


None of Jessamyn's other lovers caught her, but Remus Bonaccord saw her with Nolen Nettles and got mad on his twin brother's behalf. After watching the two of them smooch and carry on, he eventually had enough and attacked Nolen.

Grandpa kicked his butt!


She finally found a job in her career of choice, the culinary field. By the end of the week she had gained a couple of promotions.


Uh-oh. Not feeling well, Jessamyn? I wonder what could be wrong with you...




Over to the Coopers, where Ethan seems to have forgiven Jessamyn for her indiscretion. Or has he?


Maybe he was just waiting for a chance to pay her back in kind?


He wants to woohoo with 20 different sims, so not a day goes by that he doesn't look for another victim... erm, lover. Via the matchmaker he met this girl, Jessie, who is apparently a playable YA from La Fiesta's sorority. They have two bolts, and she's a romance sim, so seducing her wasn't very difficult.


So many women, so little time!


Joel, on the other hand, only has eyes for one woman: Isabella Nottington. He has finally convinced her to marry him, and since they're both popularity sims, a big wedding party is a must. The third brother, Terrence, toasts the bride and groom.


I guess grandmothers don't wear white?


"Okay, we're married. Now may I use the bathroom?" Sorry Isabella, I forgot about that elderly bladder thing - doesn't go well with lots of champagne, does it?


Time to visit the Vegas!


I thought the worst was over once the quadruplets had grown into children. I had overlooked one vital point - teaching four first-graders how to study. And of course, first they need to get their fun up high enough... Sigh. It was dark by the time Javier got round to the last one, Mercedes, and then he still had to do his own homework.


Well, that wasn't a very good pic of Mercedes, was it? Here's another one, actually taken in daylight. (Gasp!) Cute little kid. So's her sister Carmen, below. I created these siblings from a four grandparents, each with a different set of genetics, which is why they look so different.


All the kids were regularly told to run out and greet any passers-by. It pays to make contacts, and with the open lay-out of the Vega home (meaning they don't have an actual house, just a couple of sheds to sleep in) it's easy to spot anyone walking down the street.


I don't think paper boy Derek shares Carmen's interest in bugs...


Daniel met Lily Forsythe, and she immediately began to tease him. Clearly there's no use thinking there'd be some kind of connection between them just because they're both orphans being raised by older siblings...


Of course Daniel gives as good as he gets, trying to scare her with stories about aliens.


This fascination for the paranormal seems to run in the family. This is Rosario, telling her little sister Dolores a ghost story, I think. Honey, you're supposed to tell ghost stories at night, when it's dark...


Another birthday! Rosario grew up into a family teen - what else. I now have four female family teens who each want to have three kids graduate college... Unless I pair up two of them with each other (hmmm...) that's a whole lotta kids from just those four.

By week's end, Javier had three girlfriends and a couple of scholarships under his belt, and was giving serious thought to going off to college. Rosario should be able to take care of the little ones until he returned; and besides, they'd soon be teenagers themselves.


Ouch! Now that looks painful!
