For some reason, I really dropped the ball when taking screenshots for the Baldwins. To be fair to myself I was in the throes of illness this week (a cold) but all I managed to take were a few measly screenshots of their backs. I am not yet an expert in Sim Screenshotting...
Anyway, I've never been super familiar with these guys... does anyone else think it's kinda weird that Carlos Contender's entire character seems to be "freaky pervert whose horndoggery is ruining his family"? Like, I'll see how it goes when I play him, but yikes.
Anyway, the first thing I did upon playing the Baldwin family (aside from BatBox that man a degree) was get the family a pet. Sofia really wanted one, and I also can't just have every family have babies all the time forever. Isabel is pretty swamped as it is.
Meet Ace! (Yes, I'm alphabetizing both the children and pet names with minimal exceptions.)
I really want to get Sofia into Private School, but I think she'll be best suited for it next round, when Marcus is also a child. Then it's a two-for-one deal, but that leaves me with little intriguing to accomplish in the three Sim days I'm spending with them here.
As a person unfamiliar with this family, I don't want to make it seem like I'm playing favorites, but I also want gameplay to be enjoyable... so if I lack on my screenshot game, that's just how the cookie crumbles. This is my first experience really trying to log premades, but I don't want to get bored with the storytelling here.
Anyway, I was very intrigued by this randomly generated apartment Sim (I've got a townie body type mod!)
If anyone has advice for taking screenshots in apartments, let me know.
That night, when Isabel and Sofia were asleep, Benjamin finally came home. He works late and it makes it hard to spend time with the kids, but luckily he was able to get some quality time with Marcus, who has successfully begun to walk.
I don't know about you guys, but I never worry about Toddler skills that much. Your sims will emotionally recover from growing up badly once and potty training is such a frustrating task. But I try to get them walking and talking anyway...
Man, I'm a terrible Sim parent.
