Carr, Week 4

Like several other families recently, the Carrs chose to move to a bigger lot. After all, with Seasons, you want to be able to go swimming, fish, and plant a garden, right?



Unfortunately, Joe came down with the flu right away. Poor sim, having to write novels to gain creativity, when he'd much rather be painting or singing karaoke. But we need that small boost to comfort!



Well, look at that. The Prince himself comes to see his grandma, step-grandpa and aunts.



Frannie and Sabrina are pretty good at bringing home friends for school - but then they are both very outgoing little girls. Frannie seems to be talking to Chandra Custer about Bon Voyage.



While Sabrina and Chandra's cousin Keisha Nottington play dead - I mean cops and robbers.



But they end up all getting into one big water balloon fight, up until it's time for the girls to celebrate their birthday.



As a teen, Sabrina looks almost more like Barbara than Barbara does. Except for the mouth - she does have Joe's mouth.

Sabrina rolled popularity, very fitting for someone who's so outgoing. She's a Leo, 7/10/4/4/3, who wants to be a Hall of Famer. She appreciates black or custom hair, but doesn't like blond.



And Frannie... Frannie rolls romance. (Why do so many of my female Scorpios roll either pleasure or romance?) She wants to be a professional party guest, and likes blond or custom hair but dislikes black hair. Seems almost as if she and Sabrina are trying to make sure they don't go for the same guys, doesn't it?

As I said above, Frannie is a Scorpio, and her personality is 8/8/10/5/3.



Her very first day as a teen, Sabrina brings home Victor from school, and right away makes it very clear to me that she likes him. (Notice the school bus hasn't even left yet?) I, on the other hand, don't. Did you look at him?



But - sigh - I indulge her. I won't be bringing him to uni, but a few dates can't hurt.

The house in the background is their old home. With the girls old enough to take care of themselves, and having just topped her second career, Barbara does what she's wanted to do for some time - she starts a business.



Welcome to Barbara Ryan Originals, more commonly referred to as BRO, where we try to improve the aesthetics of the neighborhood. Take the three townies in this pic, for instance.



Recognize her? It's Ivy Copur. Doesn't this color suit her much better than the blue?



A Bluewater townie, who goes by Lisa in Strawberry Fields.



And rather than two townies in similar red suits, we now have one of them looking quite... different.



Some of the playables got new outfits, too. Here's Bryony Forsythe. It's more her style than mine...



And of course they got a good review. No, Barbara, the townie girl didn't steal Sabrina's outfit - she was wearing if first.



The girls do help out when they can, but mostly it's Joe and Barbara who run the business. Joe's LTW is to earn §100,000, after all...



Instead the twins both reach the top of their teen careers: Frannie in music, Sabrina as a gamer.



While Sabrina is content dating Victor, Frannie is on the prowl. I'm not sure telling this guy that she's learned to talk is the way to impress him, though - he could probably figure that out all by himself.



In the end she goes to the gypsy, who throws her one of the Tricou pleasure seeker teens. He's good enough for a few aspiration points.



Never one to limit herself unnecessarily, Frannie will flirt with girls just as easily as boys. It's good practice for all the romancing she plans to do in college!



At the very end of the week, Joe tops his second career, and it pushes him over the §50,000 line. Now he just needs another §50K and he'll be permaplat...


Points this round: 2, both for careers; General for Babs, Celebrity Chef for Joe.




See, when I hang out with someone, I tend to want to see their face. But that's just me.



"Congrats on dating Dad, Mom!"
