Custer

It's another new household with a new last name.



This one was founded by Kora Knight, daughter of Joe, sister of Kiana, Tavarez, Janson and Jade...



And her beloved barista, Ravi Custer. He's an Aquarius family sim, 7/4/2/10/2. In other words extremely playful, very lazy and grouchy, kind of neat and and shy. I had half convinced myself he was going to want to marry off six kids or something, so it came as a relief to discover that his LTW is to be Captain Hero. That should be easy enough.



They're a three-bolt couple, so things like this go on all the time around their little starter home.



Pretty much the only time Ravi showed his grouchiness was when I made him go to work in the business career for a day, because there was no opening in law enforcement, and they were short on cash.

I was very glad to find the job he wanted the very next day. Imagine having to look at that face all the time!



Of course, being family sims, they wasted no time tying the knot. In their living room, with Kora still in her work clothes (she too worked in business for a day) and Ravi in his gym clothes, because he hadn't bought a new outfit yet.



None of that mattered one bit to them. All they cared about was being together.



Well, that, and what came after the wedding...



I did buy him new clothes, as soon as they could spare the money. Which was as soon as...



Kora went into Natural Science, and got promoted to Ecological Guru. Cha-ching! 30,000 for one day's work, and the prospect of 10,000 a day maternity pay, for a family sim who wants three kids.



The first of which was already on the way.



Owwww. Be careful, Kora - that can't be good for the baby!



He seems to have survived unharmed, though! Welcome baby boy Sorin Custer!

Ravi is the name of the Hindu sun god. Sorin comes from the Romanian word for sun.



Ravi doesn't seem to know what to do with himself when he's introduced to his new son. "I'm a father! I have a baby! When can we have more?"



His "more" arrives the very next morning, accompanied by a social worker. This cute little girl is named Arcadia. It seems very appropriate that she has red hair like her new dad, and dark skin like her new mom.



"Welcome to the family, sweetie!"



She adjusts very quickly, and is soon running out to hug Ravi when he comes home from work.



Now that they're a family of four, the Custers decide to expand their home, and add a second story.



Arcadia is thrilled to have a room all her own. She especially loves sitting in the cuddly bear chair by the window, reading a book. She didn't have much of a chance for peace and quiet at the orphanage, much less her own room.



That night it was time for Sorin's birthday, but just as Kora was about to take him to the cake, something else made itself known.

Yes indeed. Child number three is on the way.



Ravi stepped in to blow out the candles and toss his son into the air.

Aww, he's cute.



Sorin Custer is a Pisces, 7/4/7/2/8. Not much in common with his parents, aside from the neat-and-sorta-shy part. Oh, and Kora's niceness. He's more active than both of them put together.



I just adore it when toddlers pat their potty. It's so cute.



But his niceness doesn't stop him from being very loud when he wants out of his crib. Just look at that mouth!



He and Arcadia get along well. I can't say that music and TV would be the topics I'd choose when talking to a toddler, but whatever works for them...


Points this round: 4. One for TOC (Kora's natural science) and three for new sims (Ravi, Arcadia and Sorin).




"Zzzz... Felicia is so sexy..."

Well, thanks, Kora, but I don't... Oh. You were talking about Secret Society Felicia. Nevermind, forget I said anything.
