Bio: Kristen isn't all too happy about the move. Unfortunately, her sister Bethany doesn't see it the same way.
When I created this family years ago, they were the first of the neighborhood!
The names John and Anne are a reference to when I would come home to play The Sims 2 with a friend. Our first couple we made together were named Jon and Ann, so the names even then were a reference and variation to that couple. They did not, however, have twins.
The twins are supposed to be identical! They're very similar in this recreation, but I used the in-CAS pacifier to create the two. I thought I could clone one so that they'd be truly identical, but this is TS2 we're talking about. I forgot that while creating the family, haha. XD
If I'm racking my brain trying to think of tidbits, the twins could have been inspired by The Parent Trap, which is something I had viewed relatively before creating the 'hood.
John's job is in architecture since I feel that him, along with Anne, are regarded as the unofficial heads of Crystal Valley (despite having an off-screen mayor and council). In the original, he was in the Business career, just like his wife.
That's the quick rundown on the first family of Crystal Valley! For formatting's sake, I'll be talking about their specific house in a separate post (which is similar to a format I've seen on MTS for custom 'hood downloads, where the family comes first and their lot comes second.)
