That awkward moment when...

[Wandarine]

All right, we've got a lot of storytelling to go through!
(Storytelling? Story telling? Story-telling? Sto ry-t ell-ing? WhateverIhatespacesanyway.)

These are the families I created for TS2:


The main family, Jaennicke (yeah, that's a very German name)
fltr: David, Cassie holding Melissa, Philip and Julia, Eva, Tim, Elin
The other families were mostly created so the Jaennickes had enough friends.
For you can not make half-siblings in CAS, Cassie and Melissa are children of Philip and Julia here while David, Eva and Tim are Elin's fatherless kids. Caspin, write it down, this will be on the test!


The Maiwalds (also a very german name I guess)
fltr: Mara, Max, Mick, Mary and Mike, Mona
I made all those families without a second thought, but in retrospect I think this is what happened:
Mary and Mike could not have children, so they adopted Mara. Later they agreed on some kind of artificial insemination, so they had triplets (no one has triplets naturally, right?) This also explains why, several sim-weeks later, Mary got pregnant with child no. 5: She never thought that was even possible!


Here are Mo and Mei Qui.
Just because I thought it would be nice to have asians in my game.


Linus Zeiz and his father, John.
John was one of the two sims I did not copy from TS1. I made him up spontaneously because Linus could not live on his own.


The other sim I made up (for the same reason): Sibylle Fuchs with her children Laurel and Liz.


the Adams family.
fltr: Nicky, Michela and Bruce, Dan.
A premade family from TS1, I think they were called Pleasant or something.



I called these ones Vegée.They are the "Roomies"-family from TS1. Although their name says otherwise in german as well as in english, I usually ignore that and make them lovers. They adopted two kids in TS1 and another eight in TS2.
fltr: Nadia and Ruth, Kira, Nelly.


Bob and Betty Neuling from the tutorial
And their son, Kevin.


The Louques family (No, I don't know how to pronounce that. Maybe like Lucas, with the second syllable stressed?)
fltr: Lyra, Lilly, Leandra and Louis, Leroy.
Leroy and Louis are Lilly's sons, Lyra is Louis' and Leandra's daughter.

I had 6 teenagers in my game and there are 6 aspirations. Coincidence? Probably. But, well:
David is the only boy his age, so he's predestined for romance.
Mara's adopted so she probably dreams of her own family.
Liz seems like a typical lazy teenager, only seeking pleasure.
Nicky wore a sports dress in TS1 (and wears one now), so she probably aims for fortune (yes that makes sense).
Cassie goes for knowledge because... she wears glasses?
And Lyra's aspiration is fame. Because that one was left, I guess.
