Chapter 7 - To Live and Love in Twinbrook

Yes I know the title sucks.... I have a great title for the next one though.

Apologies, this is mainly filler, but it is important as it sets the scene for the next Chapter, which is going to be full of Drama!

Chapter 7 - To Live and Love in Twinbrook

Its lucky really that Karyn was a Repair Technician before she met Harry, it certainly helps when she has a certain blonde son who likes to break everything.... (he's neither clumsy nor unlucky, but everything he touches breaks!)

Again with the inappropraite footwear!

Things were going well between Reece and his new Girlfriend (who is called Delilah Greenwood by the way... I couldn't remember it in the last post) Reece went to visit her in her new house, and she was obviously delighted that he popped by

Delilah: Is that a Twix in your pocket? Or are you just pleased to see me?
In other news, Harry made a new friend, called Marion (who is a man....) he popped round the house to book himself in for one of Harry's legendary makeovers.


Alex meanwhile, made friends with the boy who lives across the road, Lester Bayless (who has the trademark Bayless big ears) although sometimes Alex couldn't help but wonder if his new friend was ignoring him


Im sure some of you are wondering what Harry is up to these days, so here is a little update. Harry has reached Level 10 of the Stylist Career, and can't remember the last time he gave someone a bad makeover. Sometimes he has to wait a little while before his clients turn up, so he has struck up a little bit of a rapport with Nichole the Paper Girl


Now that he is at the top of his game, Harry felt that it was important to look after himself, so he bought the "Fast Metabolism" LTR and once again hit the treadmill.


Karyn decided that she REALLY liked the new slim Harry and she showed him how much she liked it... physically (Note: This was actually all autonomous, I made him hit the treadmill but the next screenshots were entirely Free Will)

Is it just me or does Harry look very scared in this picture?
I've got nothing to hold on to anymore! I love it!
Feeling good about his career, his weight, and his love life, Harry has developed a.... unique approach to his styling clients.

This Sim apparently can't stop eating, even when there isn't actually any food in her hand.
The brief for this client was "I want to look good when excersising" Harry personally doubts she has ever done any excersise in her life
Ahh, the "Midlife Crisis" look. A popular choice among Harry's clients
Harry likes to call this one "The Hot Librarian" look
Finally, Alex has grown into a Teenager, he has inherited his Dad's bigger build but happily it won't matter,  He wants to be a Super Spy and so will spend alot of time on the treadmill.

As you can tell from the trousers, Alex has inherited his fathers "unique" sense of style



A few days later, Alex's childhood friend Lester also aged into a teen, and Alex decided to pop across the road to pay him a visit. Alex found himself having the strangest feelings towards Lester, and before they knew it....



Happily for Alex and Lester, they quickly found that despite what they were taught in Sim School, your willy does NOT drop off if you have carnal relations with another man. Now Alex just needed to figure out how to tell his family....

Next Time: Alex comes out, in a rather unexpected way.

(Just a little update on my Mods, I have disabled Oopsie Baby because there is a glitch in it where Same sex couples can get pregant even if Same Sex Pregnancy is off, also I have tweaked Twallan's SP a little bit, because it is whinging that the town was dying, Eligible Sims and Pregnancy were maxing out, so I have lowered the threshold for Immigration, so that if there is a lack of eligible Sims for partners and a lack  of pregnancies, its allowed to Immigrate people, expect to see some new families cropping up soon.)

"Still there?" "Yup, is yours?"

  1. Boys named Marion: in my legacy, Harlan's sister Celina was married to a guy named Marion. I was always tempted to change his name to 'John Wayne' because John Wayne's real name was Marion, lol.
    Then, not too long ago, I got two pop ups to announce the births of new babies in my neighborhood. One was a girl named Marion, and one was a boy named Marion. That was just overkill, lol, so I renamed the boy Justin. He's actually a cousin of my legacy family, Colby Wolff's son.

    Well, looking forward to seeing how Alex chooses to come out. And I'm glad he hasn't lost his willy, lol

  2. In actual fact he doesn't have one anyway lol, Sim Males are actually asexual under the clothing, I just thought it would be a funny point to end on :p

  4. My favourite part is the woman in the background looking shocked, I think she is Lester's mother. I didn't notice that she was there when I took the shot.

    In actual fact she is having a conversation with her daughter/grandaughter in the hall, (you can see her in the "Woohoo" shot) but you can't see her because she is behind Lester's head, I love the way she looks totally outraged at whats happened, although in reality she can't see it because there is a wall in the way. (had to take walls down for the shot, otherwise you would have just got a nice view of the outside wall of their house)
