"You have to say ‘mommy’, little guy," Hyde said, looking pointedly at his son "If your first word is 'dada' like Layla's was, then daddy's never going to see your mommy naked again, and that’s not gonna make anyone happy"
Dylan made fart noises with his mouth and laughed, and Hyde couldn’t help but smile at him.
“That’s cute and all little guy, but that ain’t gonna cut it,” Hyde grabbed his son and looked him in the eye “C’mon man, just say ‘mommy’, it’s not that hard!”
Dylan grabbed Hyde’s sunglasses from his face and threw them in the air, giggling as he did so.
"No!" The little punk said, and Hyde shot him an incredulous look
"Did you… Did you just say 'no'?" He asked
"No!" Dylan babbled again, and Hyde could swear his kid was smirking at him, looking extremely proud of himself.
just another update. added more details on the arms(which i plan to add more) and on the adonis belt (extends from front to back)
and also, i made a 3d shine for my skin ( it wil be in a separate pack in case you dont want to put some shine to your sims, but it is included in the zip file once i post the skin). and i also tried it ingame, and it seems that its a little less intense than what is previewed in cas( or maybe its because of the lighting that i used).
So, as I said in a previous post, I spent the whole night yesterday making picrews, and I thought: “Why not make picrews of the fictional family that I love more than everything in this world?”
Anyway, here they are! This is a close representation of how I picture the Hyde family whenever I think about the TSG universe (I am going to come up with a different name for this universe one day I promise). I am also going to give you guys some glimpses about their quirks and their personalities, so, click on the thingy if you’re interested on reading that.
Unfortunaly, it was impossible to make Jackie and Gracie’s eyes the way I picture them (mismatched, lol. I know this is a controversial topic but every single time I see the show I notice how Jackie’s eyes are different colors and I add that to every single one of my fics. It’s one of her little flaws that only makes her more perfect). So just pretend that one of their eyes is blue-ish, and the other one is green-ish.
Oh, and as I post more and more picrews, you might notice that out of all the adults characters from the TSG universe, Jackie’s the only one who doesn’t have any wrinkles. Years of a very strict skincare routine payed off really well for her.
Hyde grew his beard back, mostly because I always picture him with a beard when he’s older. Oh, and sorry for the lack of sunglasses, he stopped wearing them everyday when Dylan was a baby (he kept taking them off his face and throwing them at the ground lol).
On the left, we see Layla, the eldest and the wisest from all the three kids. The age gap between her and her siblings is big, so they always run to her when they need advice about something.
Layla’s a lot like Jackie, she cares about her looks, she’s a social butterfly, and she’s probably the most popular girl in school. She’s not shallow though, nor does she have the superiority complex Jackie had in the first few seasons of the show, Hyde and Jackie made sure to raise her well.
Layla’s also a bookworm, and a big romantic at heart. One of her dreams is to publish an epic romance novel, and writing is probably one of her favorite things in the entire world. She has this little red notebook filled with heart stickers in the cover where she often writes poems -- and Jackie is the only person allowed to read said poems.
Her hair is naturally wavy (as showed in the picture), but she starts to straighten it when she’s older. She grew up in the 90s after all.
Then there’s Dylan, or as I like to call him, the Hyde’s little evil spawn.
Don’t get me wrong here, Dylan is literally so sweet, and he cares about his family more than anything in the world. He’s a sucker for his mom’s hugs and he wants to be like Hyde in the future, but he also has a lot of pent up energy, which tends to put him into some pretty funny situations.
Dylan has a partner in crime, his name’s Jordan and he’s Fez and Laurie’s son (I’ll post a picrew of him later too). I’ve based Dylan and Jordan’s friendship on the Weasley twins from Harry Potter, they are natural pranksters and they drive Laurie and Jackie insane. Red helps the duo out with their pranks sometimes, claiming it’s “payback” for all the years he had to tolerate his son and his dumbasses friends mooching off him and making his life “miserable”. Dylan and Red also have a cute bond, we’ll see more of that in the sequel.
As he grows older, Dylan gets tall. Like, Jackie’s a midget next to him, guys (that doesn’t stop her from coddling him though). No one knows where he’s got that height from, and he uses that to his advantage (by placing Jackie and Layla’s Pop music CDs on high places that they couldn’t possibly reach just to mess with them. Oh, and he also joins the basketball team lol).
He’s very protective of his family, like, really protective, and he doesn’t take shit from anyone. He has a special soft spot for Hannah (Eric and Donna’s younger daughter). Hannah is a year older than him, and she’s hearing impaired. One day a guy from school stole her hearing aid to mess with her, and he got the beating of a lifetime. Dylan was suspended and Jackie went to the school to yell at the principal and defend her son, because she’s that kind of mom.
Don’t get any wrong ideas about Dylan and Hannah though, they were raised like siblings.
Dylan’s very into cars (another thing in common he has with Red), and when Hyde finally gives him the Camino, he babies the fuck out of it.
And last but not least... Gracie. Or Erica, as Eric likes to remind everyone about it.
Gracie will only be three years old in the sequel, so we won’t see a lot of her personality, but as I said many times, I do plan on writing one-shots about the kids when they’re older once the sequel is done, so...
Hyde has a special nickname for her, he calls her his little “Goldilocks” because her hair is curly and it’s almost a golden color. She’s a very smart kid and she’s always drawing.
Seriously, Jackie and Hyde’s fridge is filled with Gracie’s drawings, it’s the sweetest thing. They never threw a single drawing of her away, they always keep them, and they incentivize her as much as possible when she’s growing up.
She grows up to be an artsy person, and she’s very talented. She’s not a social butterfly like Layla, nor is she a “badass” like Dylan, she’s an introvert, she likes to stay home with her parents (she loves her parents so much) and have movie marathons with them on the weekends instead of going out to party.
She hangs out a lot with Katie (Fez and Laurie’s youngest daughter), who’s her best friend and her complete opposite, they have a bunch of sleepovers where they watch a ton of horror movies together and stuff their faces with ice cream. Their friendship is really something else, and she’s the first person Gracie comes out to (yup, Gracie’s a lesbian).
Gracie and Eric are very close, and she gets him very into Harry Potter. It’s funny, because Eric insists that he’s a Gryffindor, and Gracie tells him he’s totally a Hufflepuff, which makes him mad and they end up bickering because of it. But overall, they love each other a lot, and Eric’s a father figure to her.
Her relationship with Jackie and Hyde is beautiful. She’s not afraid of asking them for cuddles when she’s feeling down, and they are literally her biggest supporters. When Layla moves out for good (insert very sad Jackie and Hyde noises), they turn her room into a mini art studio for Gracie, and she spends most of her days there, listening to music and painting whatever comes to her mind.
Wow, I got really excited and I ended up talking waaay too much, but well... I love this family so much, I couldn’t help myself.
If you have any questions about the TSG sequel or about the characters in general, please feel free to send them to me!
Dylan: Don't tell my mom, but I don't really like grandma Pam. She makes my mom sad, and I've heard dad calling her a bitch to uncle Eric the other day, so I know that he doesn't really like her. And if dad doesn't like someone, then I don't like that person either, because dad's cool, and mom says we should always trust him.
Grandma Kitty doesn't like grandma Pam either. She told me and Jordan that grandma Pam is floozy and selfish and that we shouldn't listen to the things she says. I never listen to the stuff she says anyways, she's kind of boring.
I don't like seeing mom sad, so I want grandma Pam to go away, but I can't tell her that because then mom would get mad at me.

Carol(me): Pam is a big topic on the TSG sequel, so you just heard from 8-year old Dylan, because I don't want to let out any spoilers for now.
Spent a huge chunk of my afternoon working on Baby Come On Home and now I’m in severe pain, so I wanna talk more about the TSG universe because yes.
@springsteenicious had an amazing idea for an ask game a couple of days ago, and I decided to borrow this idea from him.
So, ask my characters literally anything you want, and they’ll answer! This way, you guys get to know them better and I get to write about them (which is becoming my favorite thing to do).
Here’s all the info available in my blog about the characters!
Layla; Dylan; Gracie; Lucas; Hannah; Betsy (she’s technically not an OC but still); Mikey; Aaron; Jordan; Katie.
can u tell us a little bit about the kids' love life?
I am not going to lie, I was kind of waiting for this question lol
(if you don't want any spoilers from the TSG sequel pls block the spoiler tag).
Here's the thing, Layla's love life is going to be a big part of the TSG sequel storyline, like, big, guys.
Hyde's a little bit jealous of his baby girl, but he's not stupid, I mean, Layla's gorgeous, he knew she would end up dating eventually, and he was mentally preparing himself for that.
But Hyde does not like Layla's first relationship, in fact, he kind of hates it.
Because Layla is dating no one other than Michael Kelso Jr. (or Mikey), and the boy is very, very similar to his father.
Hyde's not going to approve of their relationship at first, which will cause a big argument between him and Kelso. Kelso will be very bothered at Hyde thinking that his son is not good enough for his daughter, especially considering how he literally saw the boy growing up and he knows that he has a good heart, and in the midst of the argument, Kelso will bring up Hyde's past mistakes, and Layla, who was eavesdropping with Mikey, will be absolutely crushed.
Here's the thing: Layla and Hyde are very close, their father/daughter relationship is truly a beautiful thing, we can see how close they are in chapters 2 and 3 of TSG, and she always thought of her father as her hero.
She's a big romantic at heart, and she admired her parents' relationship a lot. She's literally always asking them questions about their relationship, like how they met, when they fell in love, what's the most romantic gesture her father had ever done, what made them realize they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together, etc.
And Jackie and Hyde didn't tell her the ugly parts of their relationship, because they knew it would break her heart.
Layla has put her father on a pedestal, and learning about his past mistakes will literally rock her world. She'll question her father's love for her mother, she'll question his character and integrity, and she'll even question her mother's values and self-respect, because how could've she forgiven him after what he'd done?
It's going to be a little dramatic, probably one of the most dramatic storylines from the entire series.
Things are going to be okay in the end though, Hyde will learn how to accept Layla and Mikey's relationship, and Layla will regain her respect for her father.
Layla and Mikey are going to date during high school, but they'll break up before going to college because of the distance. Layla's really smart, so she gets a scholarship to study English at Yale, and Mikey goes to UW to get a business major (because he wants to help his father out with his new business).
They'll reconnect when they're older and begin their relationship again. At this point, she's already a published author, so she moves back to Point Place to be with him and they end up together.
Dylan, much like Hyde in his teen years, is not the type of guy who gets in relationships. He has flings, and that's it. Until he goes to college.
He meets someone at college and falls in love, they date few a few years, until she cheats on him and breaks his heart (Jackie's completely outraged by that).
He swears to himself that he's never, ever getting into another relationship again, until he moves to Milwaukee to work and ends up falling in love with a special girl.
Gracie comes out while she's still in high school, but she only gets her first real girlfriend in college too.
Katie (Gracie's best friend and Laurie and Fez's younger daughter) starts dating Aaron (Kelso's youngest) in high school, but I'm not sure whether they're going to last or not, I still have to decide.
I have not come up with other relationships for the other kids, but I might someday. It all depends on what my crazy mind comes up with, lol.
i just wanted to say that i am in love with dylan!! i just finished rereading TSG and i laughed my ass off when hyde was babysitting him. i can't wait to read more stories in this universe, TSG is my favorite story of yours, i love it so much
I know I shouldn't have any favorites but man... I love Dylan so much, I can't help it.
I'm so sorry for correcting you, please don't take this the wrong way, but Hyde wasn't babysitting him, he was just being a father. When a mom spends time alone with her kid, people don't say she's babysitting, she's just being a mom. I just feel like sometimes fathers get a lot of praise for parenting their children (which is the bare minimum); it's not babysitting if it's their own kids.
And yeah, Dylan's hilarious, it's one of the reasons why I adore him so much.
I have plenty of one-shots sketched out for this universe, and I'm also working on a bigger story, but I'm not planning on posting it anytime soon. I still need to figure out a freaking name for this universe, I don't want it to be called TSG universe, TSG is the name of the story, not the universe. Idk, it bothers me.
It's ILI! I'm a very curious person so I was wondering if you can give me a small summary about TSG sequel 💖
Honestly, there’s not much to tell yet. I wrote a bunch of random dialogues and jokes for this story, but I still need to figure out a plot.
All I know is that the story takes place in 1996, Layla’s 15, Dylan’s 8 and Gracie’s 2. Hyde finds out that parenting a teenage girl is not as easy as he thought it would be, Jackie and Laurie are having a lot of trouble controlling their respective little demons (Dylan and Jordan), Eric and Donna are having problems on their marriage, and Betsy’s going to college, causing Kelso to have a mid-life crisis at 37 years old.
I can safely say that this is going to be a fun read.
It’s going to take a while for me to post the TSG sequel, but I’m having fun writing it! I’ll come up with a plot eventually (fingers crossed!).
