The Capulet Family Dynasty
« on: October 11, 2010, 09:28:58 PM »
Well this is my first attempt at the Immortal Dynasty challenge. So here goes!
(AUTHORS WARNING: I often miss screenshot opportunities. So please excuse the small amounts of screenshots!)


(DISCLAIMER: I have decided to use Shakespeare as my name guide. Every name will be from a piece of his work!)

Meet Juliet Capulet. The founder. Miss. Capulet is the Bookworm type, she dreams of having children (maybe just one or two) and is very Family Oriented. Juliet loves to cool and most say she is a Natural Cook! She has a Green Thumb to say the least and is quite the little Angler

Right off the bat Juliet moved into her humble.. well very large lot and settled in. Well kind of. She set her stuff beside the garbage can right away and hailed a taxi. This place was different from what she was used to. Juliet being from the big Sim City decided to move to Riverview in the lot left to her by a recently deceased relative. 

After leaving the small amount of personal belongings on her lot she traveled to a local community garden and decided to try her hand with a few plants. Harvesting every plant she could and putting the plants in her personal inventory. Went home to her empty lot. The place was boring and she didn't know what to do with it.

Suddenly she caught a glimpse of the neighbor just down the road. She discovered his name was Jebidiah (Now to be known as Jeb). And that he was very single. She also discovered he was a doctor. A doctor. A sexy guy with money. This all sounded very appealing to Juliet. So she jumped on the chance to get to know him. Just hours later. She proposed to go Steady. Then proposed marriage to the lucky fella!



Luckily Jeb was very easy. I say this with the kindest of words. But he was easy. Jeb accepted her hasty proposal. After another couple of hours Juliet and Jeb decided on a quick and easy Private wedding. 



Jeb said his Vows.



Juliet said her Vows.



Juliets phone began to ring. (Sorry I just had to include that!)



And they sealed the deal with a beautiful kiss!

Just a Quick post; with a few pictures of the house! (Sorry its dark I can always retake these picture if wanted)



Front View



The Main Living Room. This includes, tv and seating, eat in kitchen with a small tv, a desk with a laptop (Thanks Jeb!) and a chess table so that Jeb can learn the Logic skill.




the bedroom, bathroom and a small nursery!

On another note; Jeb and Juliet have shared a few intimate moments. But have decided to wait a little while until they try for children.

Juliet planted the few plants she harvested from that very first day at the community garden and has even earned a little cash off the plants she had the wrong skill level to plant.

Jeb got a promotion! And brought in just over a thousand dollars (I think) and is now at level 6 in the medical career. With much better hours of work!

(AUTHORS NOTE: Well that is all for now, in the next update I will include the traits of Juliets new hubby! But I just must give him a makeover first!)

What an awesome start to your dynasty.  I love the fact that you are going with names from Shakespeare's works.

Thank you Wildred. I thought my start was a little bland. But this is my first attempt at actually writing a story along with pictures and all. So hopefully I will get better with time!

Okay so here is an update. ( I actually have some good shots this time) here goes; XD



The newlyweds after about half a week (in sims time obviously) decided it was time to try for a child, romance flourished and well they got, urm.. busy. For lack of a better term!


Oh look paper hearts! My favorite!

After they got down to business. I decided it was time Jeb got a nice new look (though the changes now that I look back are very minimal)
BEFORE:


AFTER:


Juliet was trying very hard to keep up with her garden. Luckily. She did remember most of the time with out prompting because. I have never actually had a gardener before. Nor am I in love with the idea of getting my hands filthy and picking weeds for myself.



And then all of a sudden not even days later. Juliet started to feel a little sick to her stomach.



And this happened a lot! It go to the point I was screaming at the computer to stop!



Finally Juliet found out she was pregnant. And it was a joyous moment for a family oriented Juliet. Who has been wishing for children for years (in my mind anyways).



After getting pregnant I had her spend a lot more time off her feet just so she was close to all the necessary's (bathroom, kitchen, bathroom, ect...) and the only real time she went out side was for tending to her garden. And doing a little fishing. With all this time on her hands she had plenty of time to catch up on her reading and even spend a little time reading skill books right beside her doctor husband. Who frankly always has some sort of book in his hand! I think he needs a hobby!



Juliet and Jeb spent a lot if time looking like this. Jeb seemed very interested in her stomach for some reason. Not that I understand the ways of the sims.



Finally the time came for Juliet to give birth. I opted for a home birth because I really was just feeling very lazy.



contractions happened



and then there was more contractions



and finally the miracle of life.






Rosaline Capulet was born. I got the chance to choose her traits and picked artistic and eccentric. She will be my heir, as well as the master or portraits and everything artistic! She likes the color sea foam, enjoys eating cookies and loves Latin music.



Rosaline (will now be known sometimes as rose/rosie/or just rosa) didn't cry often. Actually she kept mostly to herself and cried only when she was hungry, bored and feeling very lonely, or when she had a poopy diaper. (Yeah I did just say poopy diaper)

Not soon after did Juliet and Jeb deiced for just one more child. And they got busy.



Soon Juliet found herself in a rather familiar state. Pregnant with a bulging belly.



Days passed and soon it was Rosie's birthday. Not that I threw her a party or anything (bad mother, very bad mother!) All of a sudden I realized that Juliet (now very very pregnant) Had stopped what she was doing and was walking over to the crib. No warning what so ever!



The most gorgeous child. I have ever seen! Well okay maybe not but she does have some very nice features!



And Juliet was sure happy!

That very next day in the early morning. Juliet felt her water break!



And so began again!







Another bundle of joy. And another beautiful baby girl. (This time I used a midsummer's night dream for the name; frankly there were no more female names from Romeo and Juliet that I liked a lot.) Meet Helena! She will be the spare for the second generation! I rolled her traits. And got Absent Minded and Loves the outdoors. I wonder what she likes? I seriously just forgot to look!



Anyways that is all for now. I hope you enjoyed the very very long chapter. I hope you didn't skip over it because it was to long, I am always open for suggestions on how to make these updates better. Please do not be shy!

Unfortunately I have missed a requirement for this challenge. Don't fret I will be writing a new story. Probably with the same idea. (Shakespeare names and everything). But most likely with a different Spouse anyways. Anyone who was following my story look for the Capulet Family Dynasty 2.0!!
