Thanks to all CC Creator - without your amzing work, nothin' of this would've been possible - you make my world more colorful - kisses and hugs - 🥰🧡🧡🧡🐺🤗
an additional note about Conn to the backstory you can read here:
a piece of backstory if you’re curious.
and just a add lil note from my side:
Gravity has been with me for years. They weren’t created for this event, they’ve grown slowly, with stories and struggles and a whole lot of memories. This comeback is just one chapter in their journey. And yeah, it’s part of my world I’m happy to share with anyone who’s curious or feels connected. We all love our blorbos, right? I’m actually on vacation right now, working on an old laptop with limited time and tech issues, so yes things took a little longer and I’m just glad it all came together in time. I really believe we all carry our characters with love, whether they’re new or have been with us for years. Giving them the space they deserve, in our own way and that’s what makes this event so special. And for me? Being part of it has been a true heart project. It shows how much I value the idea and all the amazing entries out there - love the variety (one long post or a series of shorter ones 😜), love all the individual creativity. Thanks again 🥰
They've been accompanying me for about 25 real-life years - since Sims 1. Honestly, I had tears in my eyes while shooting this. They were the beginning - I played them through all their live and tragedies - and one day they may also be the end.

I'm updating* this background page with more information from the past, in light of Grafity’s comeback at the Edgewave Festival.
Gravity at Edgewave 2025
I'll be adding some more details from earlier days, as well as pictures of the younger version of the band members - or maybe I’ll do that in a separate post. We’ll see.

Saint Conroy
This guy is where it all started with for me and The Sims. He was the first male character I ever played all the way through his life. I started playing Sims 20 years ago, and my first household was a girl I focused on - Jolene Winter (later Winter-Conroy). But eventually, she needed a partner by her side, so I created the very first version of him.
Sadly, I don’t have any pictures left from that version.
Saint today
After a long break, I got back to Sims with The Sims 3 because my son wanted it, and - well - I got hooked again, lol.
I recreated them in S3 as best as I could and gave them the look I had imagined with all the new features.
Unfortunatly barely S3 screenshots, cause i didn`t document my GP that time this way, story only in my head and memories - so all images here are from the remade in S4.
Saint’s parents were both soloists in a classical orchestra, his mother a gifted violinist, his father a renowned pianist. Music filled their home, yet they never pushed it on him. He would sometimes play around on the piano as a child, but it wasn't until years later that he truly connected with music on his own terms.
When Saint was six years old, his parents died in a tragic accident. He grew up with his uncle - his mother’s brother - and his wife, who took him in and raised him with care.
One day, while exploring the attic, he came across his uncle’s old guitar - worn, dusty, but still intact. Something about its presence spoke to him. He started strumming, tentatively at first, but soon with growing fascination. That guitar became his voice, his anchor and the true beginning of his own journey into music.
Even though life with his uncle had been good, a quiet yearning grew in him - a longing to leave the sleepy mountain town behind and see the world. As soon as he was old enough, he began taking on small jobs after school. By the time he turned eighteen, he had saved up a little money to rent a room in the city, at least as a temporary solution. Without his uncle’s support, it wouldn’t have lasted long. He left the town for good and never returned - not only because his new life had taken root elsewhere, but also because he realized that certain things had never been explained. Like what became of his inheritance.
Saint first made his way as a street musician, and with his guitar and that special voice of his, word spread quickly. People would stop on their way home or while wandering through the city just to listen to him play.
One day, Jolene passed by the spot where he usually played, a small park with a square and a few benches. She caught his eye, but he didn’t think much of it. A few days later she came again, sat on a bench a little further away, and at some point, when he looked up again, she was gone.
He became curious and hoped she’d come back. When he had already stopped expecting it, she returned and this time she stayed on that bench for quite a while. When she looked over and their eyes met, he smiled at her. Then she disappeared again.
From then on, she came every day. One day, he talked to her, asked her to sit with him, and she did. They talked and laughed. From the very beginning, they felt at ease around each other, but the more often they met, the more those small gestures began to carry something unspoken, a kind of fascination, a quiet pull between them, hard to name but impossible to ignore.
It was on one of those quiet days that he offered to show her how to play the guitar. She nodded, shyly.He handed her the guitar and moved in close, reaching around her to guide her arms and hands into place.
A shiver ran through him at the touch. Their eyes met and there was something in the air - quiet, unspoken, yet unmistakable. It felt like magic and then, he kissed her.
Saint landed a few gigs at local venues. He met more people and eventually started the band 'Gravity' with his best friend Phoenix and later on they met Thunder, who completed them.
They practiced in a classic garage setup and were finally discovered, thanks to Saint’s persistence in getting people to listen to his music at least once.
Jolene and Saint married 3 years later while the band started to go it's way and things went very well.
Their oldest son, Jaxx, was born, and a little over a year later, their daughter, Cloud. Jaxx was a rebel and despite their best efforts to give him stability, he always struggled with everything.
The unstable lifestyle took its toll, and they argued more and more frequently. Saint often withdrew from conversations and did his own thing. The issues with Jaxx weighed heavily on him, but neither of them knew how to help him. They separated and even got divorced, but continued living together in the large finca (which they later bought and restored) that they had rented with the band. Since, deep down, they couldn’t live without each other, they reconciled and remarried a little over a year later.
The beautiful result of their reunion was the birth of two more kids, Leroy and Joshua.
With his wife Jolene Winter-Conroy he has four kidz:
Jaxx - Cloud - Leroy und Joshua.
'Gravity' got famous, and he became a clan leader and MC president.
Saint aging
He has a quirky habit: he only wears red shoes.
Now he’s a great-grandfather, but I prefer to not age him more, it's game, so I can do what I want haha. They’ve been through so much family history together, up and downs and some tragedies, but I wasn’t really documenting any of it back then.
So one day, my game stopped working, and I had to make a choice: The Sims 4 or no Sims at all. I put it off for as long as I could, but eventually, I made the switch and left them behind, planning to start fresh. But Sims 4 didn’t have the stuff I loved from Sims 3 – bikers, MCs, musicians, bands – it was really missing for me.
Nevertheless it lasted about two weeks before I started remaking them in Sims 4. I just couldn’t be without them. They’re connected to everything I do in my Game, even if it’s just in the background. They’re the foundation of my whole gameplay.
added 16.06.25* - Connor & some more
But back then, I didn’t rebuild all the family members, cause of the lack of the GP options and I thought I could live with that - but now, five years later, and with the spark that came through Edgewave, I’ve decided to bring the rest of the family back too.
That also means the family tree is incomplete.
I play without aging and death. I manually age them up when it’s time. I just can’t handle a full legacy game with all the consequences. So here we are, and would love cataloging my Sims here now.
The plan is to give each of my characters a profile and update them whenever I feel like it.

in various stages of life.
I would like to introduce some of my Sims (Char/OC) that I’ve created over the years and which are special to me.
Most of this ones I’ve played with for a long time or actually play with.

and a bit more under the cut …
Joshua Conroy-Domínguez
is the youngest child of Saint and Jolene Conroy, the cherished baby of the family, lovingly spoiled by everyone, including by his older siblings Jaxx, Cloud and Leroy.
Despite this, he remains grounded and practical, successfully running a renowned tuning garage with his husband, Thiago Domínguez. Together, they live in Brindleton Bay with Thiago’s daughter from his first marriage, Andrea.
Their love story began in the most unusual way - with a bet. You can read about it here:
Kiss - Race - Love.
He’s one of my dearest Sims and will always hold a special place in my heart. 🥰

Cloud Winter-Conroy
is the second child of Saint Conroy and Jolene and so she is the 1,5 years younger sister of Jaxx.
In The Sims 3 she was married to one of the band members of Gravity - her father's famous rock band.
In The Sims 4, I never got back as deep into her story.
Cloud carved out her own path, and one day, I found her in a relationship with Sebastian Jakob, a NPC. I decided to adopt him into the family and gave him a makeover.
Since then, they've been living together in the apartment in San Myshuno, the one where she and her siblings Jaxx, Leroy and Joshua grew up.
It's always a special feeling to return to this location, where I spent so much time years ago and where the entire second generation grew up for a second time - bringing them back to life after spending years with their legacy in The Sims 3.
I’ve only been playing The Sims 4 since January 2020.
