As you’ll recall from last week, Garamond Alphabetti fell in love with a boy she met at school. Jimmy Phoenix (the game gave him that name, not me) was quite the catch. He spends a lot of time playing the bass.
When he’s not playing bass or working on his homework, he enjoys blowing bubbles. (College kids love the bubble blower!)
Other girls are constantly falling in love with Jimmy Phoenix. Then Garamond beats the stuffing out of them.
Garamond may look like a sweet little thing, but don’t let her get you in a headlock.
Eventually they both graduated from college. (I’m skimming over their junior and senior years, because I got engrossed in a project and didn’t even notice they had graduated until the game told them they had to leave school now.) They returned to the new Alphabetti family home, where they were wed in an outdoor ceremony on a beautiful summer night.
Their photobooth portraits were added to the family portrait wall.
And everyone settled in for their first family dinner.
When Jimmy Alphabetti (neé Phoenix) graduated to adulthood, the game slapped him with the full-on Hot Topic clothing-and-tribal-tattoos treatment, which was pretty funny. Alas, since Garamond’s Lifetime Want involved a career, Jimmy had to shelve his dreams of starting a band.
Fortunately, he turned out to be good with the garden.
Although he’s not very handy in the kitchen. The first time he tried to cook dinner, he set the stove on fire. Fortunately, while Jimmy was busy cowering in the corner and his father-in-law Frank hopped from one foot to another in terror, their smoke alarm automatically notified the authorities.
Garamond took some time off to get knocked up. It’s twins!
I named them Helvetica and Harlow. Jimmy is good with the babies. He’s almost too fond of them – I have to force him to put the baby away in order to feed himself before he starves to death.
To celebrate the birth of the H generation, I added a new wing onto the house. Just in time, too – it was getting pretty cramped with four adults and two babies!
I’m digging Makoto’s pink tux.
I think I know why we are so fascinated with your Sims Sundays — they are like a surreal and bizarre soap opera.
It’s funny how much I enjoy Sims Sunday when I hate playing the actual game. Thanks for the entertainment:)
Love the tattoos. What every girl looks for in a househusband…
I LOVE Sims Sunday. They are so much more fun than “real” soap opera, and much more entertaining than the soap opera that seems to happen to the people around me sometimes.
God, I love your sims. It’s Sims of our lives. I just got a new PC and I’m thinking I might have to start playing Sims just because I’m so engrossed with your sims. However, I’m currently obsessed with Plants v. Zombies so perhaps it’s good to wait before adding a new game obsession.
I separately asked the guys: Garamond had a girl, what do you think her name is?
Franz: Hester? Helvetica!
Zach: Harriet? Helvetica!
Zach: I look forward to Wingdings.
I’ve been lurking for awhile, but just have to say – I love Sims Sundays (and the chickens, and the knitting)!
Wow…it looks like there were some serious undercurrents at the first family dinner. And that was *before* Jimmy Phoenix set the kitchen on fire.
Oh woot woot. I love Sims Sunday!! Doesn’t everyone? It’s the highlight of my Sunday morning. Well Monday actually by the time I get to it.
Loving Jimmy’s transition from rocker to garden-daddy. Garamond seems like who wears the pants in the whole operation.
