The Philips (a self employment project)

[ratchie]

Meet Saskia Philips.

Her traits are nurturing,rebellious,friendly,dramatic and something that I have totally forgotten. Despite having no helpful traits her LTW is to have the perfect garden. Yes she is blue,did any of you expect her to be a normal colour?

Saskia:Hello,can you deliver me a pizza delivery man please.
Pizza shop:Yes madam what toppings would you like?
Saskia:I don't care just make sure a delivery Man brings the pizza.
To Saskias disappointment the pizza was delivered by Autumn Cussack who is not a man. Not to be deterred by the set back to her watchers plans Saskia started working on her gardening skill.

After harvesting some wild grapes,watermelons,tomatoes and potatoes Saskia had gained one skill point in gardening.

Living alone can be a little boring and Saskia funds were running low after she splashed out on the essentials like a bed and a lamp. So the only thing she could afford to raise the fun meter was a hopscotch. So all of Saskia's basic needs are being met all except one and that is love. Meeting a male NPC is difficult. Normally they are all over the place but in this game not so much. It has been a week and no sign of any romance she has met every townie that Sunset Valley has to offer. Chris Steel is being particularly friendly,I think he is trying to worm his way into my story.

Next time. Will Saskia finally meet the man of her dreams. Will she ever be able to afford walls.

Saskia finally met somebody. His name is Jake Roland and he is a social worker.

For some strange unexplainable reason Jake had the sudden urge to fish. He had the urge to fish a lot. This is pretty much all Jake does he only brought $2750 with him which is less the useless so the family is still living in the great outdoors.
Meanwhile back at the ranch.

Saskia prepares to bring new life into the Sim world.

Everybody say hello to Cole Philips. Bonus points to anyone who can guess what my naming theme is going to be.

Here is our beautiful blueboo all grown up. I think he is adorable and I am loving the hair colour. His traits are insane and brave.

Rachel

[loveSims]

Cole is very cute! I have no idea what the theme can be but I can spot a cute nooboo!

[ratchie]

Jake was kept busy teaching young Cole his toddler skills.



Then once he knew all of his skills Cole had his birthday.

For his birthday Cole got the inappropriate trait. I get the feeling Cole is going to be fun to play.He also got an easel and a baby sister.

Meet Piper Philips,now does anyone know what my naming theme is.

Rachel

[CandyHeartedSim]

Great so far, Rachel! I still can't get the name theme, but it rings a bell. I so wish I had Cole's toddler hair, he looks adorable!

[loveSims]

Congrats on another blue nooboo!

[AriaGirl77]

Love those blue sims!

[VampirePlasma]

Oh Yeah! Insane Sims will rule the world!  Love the blue Sims.

[xFezIsAFreakx]

Is the theme anything to do with the Charmed series?

[ratchie]

Correct well done.

The Philips may not have much in the way of the material things but they do have one another.

Jake is especially close to his children.

Jake and Cole are best friends and love spending time together.

Cole also likes spending time with his little sister. He is a helpful little chap who will keep little Piper entertained while his mum has a well deserved lie in.

Luckily for the poverty stricken Philips Jake caught a box containing a birthday cake the day before Pipers birthday and a proud Saskia took her daughter to the cake.

Piper aged up looking a lot like her mother. She didn't turn out too bad considering the family doesn't own a mirror or dresser.


Coming up next time,Cole has a birthday and Piper gets to see how the other half live.

Great update! You bring poverty to a new level

Great update! You bring poverty to a new level

After getting on the honor roll on his last day of childhood and becoming Daphne Landgrabs best friend Cole had his teen birthday.

He got the unlucky trait to go with his insane and brave traits. He is quite good looking(I think anyway)
Two days later Pipper aged up her best friend was Ronald Keaton.

I think she looks a lot like her mum.Piper has the clumsy,friendly and virtuoso traits.
 
The family are saving up to build a nice home but they spared some cash to buy Cole an easel and Piper a sculpting station. Although we are not sure that letting clumsy Piper loose with sharp implements is such a good idea.
They might be living outside but our little group always eat together.

Piper:Mum are you having another baby.
Saskia:Of course not dear whatever makes you say that.
Cole:She is trying to say your fat,oh mum I wouldn't let her get away with that.
Piper:Shut up!
Cole:No you shut up!

Piper:Yeah just cause you have got err teddy bear brains you teddy bear brain you.
Cole:Is that the best you can do.
Piper:Mum tell him.

Cole(muttering to himself)Stupid punishment,making me stand in a corner,we don't even own walls let alone a corner.

Saskia:Jake honey,do you think I could be pregnant.
Jake:Maybe we cooked up a little something the other day.
Saskia:Huh?
Jake:Do you see what I did there,did you,did you?
Saskia:Yes dear very funny.

Cole:(still muttering to himself)Piper never gets in to trouble just me cause she's a girl and mums favorite. It is not fair.

Saskia(off screen)Cole sweetie what you painting?
Cole:It is the window to my lost and lonely soul not that you care.
Saskia:Alright hun guess you haven't forgiven me for putting you in time out yet.

Not a gooid idea to say a lady is fat Cole! Great update hope you get another bleuboo

[ratchie]

It is nooboo time.

When Saskia went into labour in the garden I would like to say that her loving family all rushed to her aid,but they didn't they pretty much ignored her.

Everybody say hello to Leo Philips he is athletic and friendly. Side note I love this shot can someone tell me how to put this in my signature.

A day or so later young Leo aged up into a handsome little man.

Leo likes hats. Here he is rocking the green look in every day wear.

Here he is matching his grey hat with his formal wear.

Finally totally rocking the cute teddy bear look.
