Whitecreek is now gone! I’ve created a new neighborhood called Parodia which is bigger and better (in my opinion). Go to the new website now!

Why I ended Whitecreek is all explained in the new blog. Thanks!

Hey everyone. I just had my birthday and the Sims 2: Seasons should be arriving very soon! So I’ve begun working on my new project. Here’s a sneak peek for now. It’s not much, but whatever. Just wanted to let everyone know I’m still alive. By the way, you may have noticed that I changed the header. I’m probably going to change it again soon, but I need more pictures first, obviously.

There you go. Okay, I may as well just tell you their names. Harry Sheaford and Celia Miller (now Sheaford). And no, I won’t tell you anything else!

Owen, Ella, Astrid and Scarlett have all grown up. Take a look inside.

First it was Scarlett’s turn. I couldn’t help but be disappointed! I mean, she was adorable as a child and toddler. What happened?! She’s not exactly ugly now, but I was expecting a lot prettier.

And then it was Astrid’s! She’s jumping on the bed in the Carly and Sage suite. I think she turned out pretty. I just hope she’s not a disappointment, like Scarlett was. I feel bad for saying that, though.

Finally it was Ella and Owen’s birthdays… this was pretty sad. Sigh. I hope they have a while before the Grim Reaper takes them. Ella’s all that’s left of Generation 2 and I raised her myself! Edmund was actually born before Giorgio and Rachelle got married. But we’ll skip over that.

Here’s a closer look at Owen and Ella. Owen didn’t change much but Ella’s so… ugly now. I guess because a while ago I replaced my Maxis skintones and she looks way different. I had to put a ton of makeup on her in this picture so she wouldn’t look like a ghost!

Enjoy, everyone!

And here is the promised update with pictures of the Armani-Versace house. I made it myself and change it extremely often. But here’s what it looks like at the moment… so take a look.

It’s a little boxy and strange but that’s just how our characters are. The house looks weird in neighborhood view, so I stuck the fountain on the top, haha. Before, the house was mainly black and white, as its color scheme. I took some ideas from Jacob’s mom Lorraine’s old loft (I made that too, though).

Alrighty, here’s the first floor. The kitchen is self-explanatory; it’s been set on fire numerous times by Jess and the fire fighters are good family friends now. The living room has the TV, couches, coffee table, bookshelves, the usual. But it has great big windows that give you a nice view into the garden. The bathroom’s self-explanatory as well! But the lounge, hardly used, is really boring but  pretty. I think I might use it for the headmaster when I want Astrid to go to private school. Lastly is the Dining and Lobby-type area… very large and empty-ish. You see the dining table, a chess set, two identical little tables, a wardrobe and the staircase. Bor-ing. Oh, and if you were wondering, those little Sims are Ella, Scarlett and Sage.

 
This is the Upstairs. It’s been changed multiple times. See where it says “Second Floor”? That’s supposed to be a patio but I forgot all about its existence until now. The name of each room is now named after those who first used it in Generations 1-4. So we have the Carly and Sage Suite, Astrid’s favorite bed to jump on, then we have the Ella and Owen Suite, very simple but elegant. Next is the Astrid Room, which is a cool set that I really like and apparently so do the others, because they love to hang out in there. Next up is the Scarlett Room, which fits its name. Everything in it is red! Then we have the big empty area with plants, lamps and the stairs. Then we see a small balcony that no one bothers to use because it has a tiny railing. Right behind that is the Jess and Jacob Suite, simple but it suits their characters. And then there’s the bathroom, of course.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this look inside the Legacy House. It’s not as large as most, but it fits them just right. Please do not copy the house, as it is not worth copying and I wouldn’t appreciate it. Thank you.

As told by Carly Armani-Versace
I never thought I’d do something like this. Me, Carly, the Straight-A goody-goody. The quiet rich girl. I mean, I always over-think everything. And just one night I didn’t think at all…

It all started a month ago, when I was on my favorite chatroom. It was the day after my birthday, and I’d become an “Adult”, with lots of responsibilities just shoved at me. I was supposed to be looking for a job, because the whole family was pestering me about it–my mother, father, Jacob and even Jess. Instead I was chatting with someone I didn’t personally know but at the same time, knew very well. It was because Sage102H, one of the top people on my buddy list, asked me to meet him at the bakery in Whitecreek where he worked.

Oh, I met him there alright, and we had some great laughs over some tequila. I didn’t know what I was doing. Okay, well, maybe I did. But I was an adult now. I wanted to taste just a little more of that freedom before I had to get a boring job. The rest of it is a blur to me. Somehow I managed to get home, though.

I had woken up early in the morning, and everyone in the house was asleep. When I went downstairs to have some cereal, I thought I saw someone in the lawn chairs out by the pool. I peered through the back door and there was–Sage Hayes! Confused and angry, I marched over to him and shook him awake. Then I saw something glinting on his finger. It was a ring! My eyes shifted over to my own hand–I was wearing one, too! Everything began to come back to me. Sage and I were–married.

6 Months Later
Obviously my parents were extremely furious. Who wouldn’t be? They were so ashamed of their only daughter, who had never seemed like she’d turn out to be a hooligan. I still haven’t forgiven myself for acting that way, but I don’t exactly regret it. Sage turned out to be kind and shy, and he apologized a thousand times. We were going to get it annulled the next week, but during those 9 days something clicked between us. My parents loved him, too. Jacob and him had become great friends. And Jess didn’t have too cook as much because Sage turned out to be an excellent cook as well as a baker. And we were falling in love.

Soon I found out I was going to have a baby girl, and Sage was really excited. He had his heart set on naming the baby Astrid. I was a little iffy on that one, but I agreed in the end.

Yikes. Now I see what poor Jess had to go through! This was definitely not the fun part.

The baby, Astrid Armani-Versace, was born. She had Sage’s eyes and she was beautiful.

Now she’s a toddler and has Shane’s light brown hair as well! She loves attention. “I’m a grandmother now! Doesn’t that make me sound old?” said my mother, Ella. Her birthday is coming around next week and then she’ll even look the part. As for Scarlett, she loves having a real-live baby to take care of instead of her silly dolls that she used to pull the heads off of. I guess I didn’t have the beautiful wedding I’d always imagined, but it was all a blessing in disguise. Sage is also an excellent father. He now works as a politician and he loves doing it, even though he admits it’s not as fun as baking.

She doesn’t like being away from me or Sage for more than a minute. She can be pretty fussy sometimes, too! But she always finishes her applesauce. She’ll be a child in two days. We can’t wait!

Scarlett became a child just as I was putting the cake and balloons out on the table outside by the family’s pool. I’m really bad at throwing birthday parties for my sims. But I’m really glad I chose Jessica over a blonde sim I was going to match Jacob up with. Scarlett recieved the red hair and freckles gene and is definitely going to be one of my most beautiful sims. And Jacob’s face is a little boring, because his parents’ faces were defaults. Thanks to Jess, their daughter is gorgeous!

Next week is Carly’s coming of age ball. I hope I don’t mess it up again.

Hey everyone, this entry sort of came out on its own. Jacob became an adult and I missed the age transition! Lately I’d been setting him up with girls who could possibly become the next Armani-Versace mother. It wasn’t going too well, but one of the sims that used to work in the flower shop I closed down was wandering around in Whitecreek Public Library while Jacob was there for this story. And the story unraveled by itself! But I’m going to go ahead and tell it in 3rd person instead of a diary or one of the family members telling it.

 Jacob had grown up into a fine young man, but he still had the ambitions of a teenager. “So, Jacob, what sort of career do you plan to go into?” asked his aunt, Ella. “Oh, I’m not getting a job yet. I’m going to learn how to build a servo first. Speaking of, the taxi’s here to take me to the library.” He headed out the door and sped off. “I suppose a Servo will be better than Remington Harris’s cheap maid service,” Ella muttered.

AT THE LIBRARY
Jacob skimmed the shelves of Whitecreek Public Library, looking for a book on robots. A girl about his age with bright red hair and freckles tapped his shoulder. “You look confused. What are you looking for?” she asked. “I want to build a servo, actually,” said Jacob.

The girl handed him a book called You and Your Servo from one of the lower shelves. “You look through that one; I’ll take a look at Servos for Dummies.” She and Jacob sat down at a table with their books. “I’m Jessica Talorie, by the way.” “I’m Jacob. Jacob Armani-Versace.”  Together they looked through the books and discussed what they found. Jacob invited Jessica to his house to help build the Servo.

It took three weeks to build the Servo, which was named Sheila Armani-Versace.

With all the time Jacob and Jess had spent together, he proposed to her and she agreed!

The wedding took place just three days later at the same place Owen and Ella were married.

Not too long after, a baby girl was on the way.

She was perfectly healthy and adorable. The baby was named Scarlett Armani-Versace.

Scarlett’s birthday arrived and she had flaming red hair just like her mother! Isn’t she adorable?

Next Week: We’ll be celebrating Carly’s big coming-of-age party and Scarlett’s birthday, too!

Jessica’s Wedding Dress: Pronupsims

As told by Carly Armani-Versace

Dear Diary,
Things are going pretty topsy-turvy lately, at our new house. It’s very large and by the beach. My mother Ella was a little upset to be selling the house my grandparents built, especially after we added the guest apartment out by the pool. The only problem with our “perfect” house was the bugs and flies that flew around everywhere. And nobody knew Uncle Edmund was allergic, not even my uncle himself. He grew more and more sick until one day, while he was on the patio, the flies swarmed around him and it killed him. This was all two days before my birthday, too.

When my birthday came, we didn’t even have cake because everyone (including me) was too depressed. My mother apologized to me several times and said we’d have a big party the following week, but I told her it was okay. I knew no one was up to it. So my first year of being a teenager was passed up. I’m secretly glad, Diary, because having a party is one of my greatest fears.

Unfortunately, becoming a teenager gives you a lot of new responsibilities.

My Aunt Lorraine hadn’t really spoken in a few days. One evening she told us that she’d be moving out and renting her own loft. She was just too sad here, and didn’t want any of us to take it personally. My cousin Jacob, however, told her he would stay here, with us. Aunt Lorraine protested and quietly scolded Jacob, but my father insisted that Jacob should stay and be cared for until he was of age. Aunt Lorraine gave in reluctantly and headed for her taxi after saying goodbye.

Aunt Lorraine’s loft is a few blocks away, and it’s very pretty. We all wish she would come back.

Jacob and I had a plan for his mother to move back in with us. It was brilliant! We told my mother to call Aunt Lorraine and invite her over to our house.

My mother has called her countless times in desperation for her to move back. She always says that she’s better off alone, tending her ponds and garden. Aunt Lorraine did finally agree to come over for dinner.

She and mother had a good laugh about the funny things Uncle Edmund did, like when he sang while taking a shower. “Lorraine, we really would love for you to move back. Jacob does, too, although he won’t admit it. Don’t you remember when my parents died? These things happen.” But Aunt Lorraine repeated what she’d always say. “I just need some time alone, Ella. When I’m ready.” And she said she wanted to go home.

I was really upset that our plan didn’t work. My father Owen explained that it’s really hard for Aunt Lorraine to get used to this. “She knows we love her and that we always will,” he explained. “When she decides to come back, we’ll be ready for her. These things take time.”

Oh, what a week it’s been, Diary. I really miss Aunt Lorraine and, even more, Uncle Edmund. But, as Daddy said, she’ll come back because she knows we love her.

Well, I wanted to make this update really dramatic. But I bought Open for Business last weekend and I’ve been busy with that, so I had to hurry this story. There’s a lot packed into it.

As told by Owen Armani-Versace

Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Owen Morgan and I live in a quick-expanding neighborhood called Whitecreek. I moved here right when I became a teenager; my mother passed away after my baby brother Evan was born. My father worked as a security guard and it was getting us by. Then I met a girl while I was at the grocery store, buying some milk for Evan. A girl about my age with curly brown hair dropped a couple of milk cartons. I helped her pick them up. She introduced herself as Ella Armani-Versace. I immediately felt uncomfortable; me, a poor kid with no mother and a baby to look after, and I was in the presence of one of the richest people in Whitecreek. She was really nice, though. And pretty. We became friends and after awhile she agreed to go steady. Some time later, I proposed to her and she said yes! We had a lovely wedding in the small gazebo in her backyard.

After the wedding we all danced. I came to know her family and friends.

Ella’s nephew, Jacob, had a birthday. His father, Edmund, says he’s grown nicely.

And then Ella realized she was going to have a baby girl!

The baby was born in the kitchen, actually, and all but Jacob were there to greet the child.

We named her Carly, and she soon grew up to be a child. But she doesn’t look like me or Ella.

We began doing a fair bit of reconstruction around the house, as the first floor was large and empty.

Then Jacob had another birthday! I wonder if he’ll start running after a girl as soon as possible, like Edmund says he used to do. I sort of did that, too, come to think of it!

Just thought I’d let you see these two pictures that are the main idea of my next post.

GASP! Is that Ella, as an adult? No way! And is she having a baby?!

Is that the baby? Is the blond guy her husband now? And why is everyone talking about the new baby but thinking about Edmund?

Dear readers, the answer to all these questions is “Yes”. Except for the last one, that is. I can’t even answer that one. And if you’re wondering, the blond guy is the same teenager from the last picture in the previous post. He grew up, too. Oh, and his name is Owen Morgan, but since Ella was the one who proposed to him he is now an Armani-Versace.
The family tree won’t be updated until next time. Enjoy!
