New Residents:
The Brown Family:
Photobucket
Transplants from New York City. The Browns left a successful Wedding planning business in order to expand their franchise. They decided to move to Colorado Springs in order to conquer fresh territory. Parker Brown on the left is the business manager of it all. She takes care of bridezillas as well as all the finances. Her brother Delaney Brown is a lawyer who has also chosen to come to Colorado Springs to start a new legal office on his own. He also moved to support his wife's new business along side his sister. Parker managed to convince her partners and life long friends to also move to Colorado Springs. Upon scoping out locations in Colorado Springs her car broke down. Her brother Delaney recommended his old college buddy Malcolm Kavanaugh to fix the car. This was an added bonus for Parker since she is now engaged to Malcolm.
Laurel moved to support her best friend, husband and business partners. She specializes in creating beautiful cakes for stellar ceremonies. She married her childhood crush Delaney Brown. After having a crush on him for many years, he finally noticed a grown Laurel and fell in love. They were married in a lavish ceremony in New York before relocating.

Malcolm Kavanaugh-

Malcolm has lived in Colorado Springs all his life. He went to college with Delaney Brown to NYU (New York State University) but choose to return home after his sophomore year to run his father's auto repair shop. He has taken serious loans to revamp his father's auto shop. He has been running it successfully and has had little time to date. Little did he know that destiny would bring Parker Brown into his life. At first glance she looks stuck up and all about the money. In truth she is the sweetest woman he has ever met besides his own mother. They dated and before long he asked Delaney's permission to marry her. Now he is rebuilding the residential side of his business to accommodate his bride to be.
The MacGuires-
Photobucket
MacKenzie Elliot-Maguire was a famed photographer in New York. She also worked wedding photography with her business partners and best friends. She met Carter while their wedding firm was planning his cousin's wedding. It was not a great first introduction but she felt sparks fly for the university professor. Moving to Colorado Springs allowed her husband Carter Maguire the leeway to teach fresh minds.

The Cooke Family-
Photobucket
Emma Grant-Cooke is the last to move to Colorado Springs and completes the Quad that runs the wedding planning company. She specializes in flower design for weddings and other occasions. Before moving to Colorado Springs she married her fiancee Jack Cooke. Jack is best friends with Delaney Brown from Law school. Now he also can count on his new friends Carter and Malcolm. While its tough to start out a new Law office he is willing to do so for his friends who are now his family.

The Shalo family-
Photobucket
Deeba Shalo is a new resident to Viramontes City. She arrived from India with her sister Lakshmi Behal and her new husband Raj Behal. She came knowing that she would register for college and pursue her career. Problem is that she is not sure what career she would like to pursue. It was special that her parents allowed her to come since it is customary that only wedded wives are allowed to leave their small town with their new husbands. Part of her leaving was severing all ties with her parents as their custom requires. She sacrificed this for a new life alongside her sister and to experience what this city has in store for her.

Author's note~~~~
  • Finally done with Round 15. I can not believe that this round took forever? I was looking at the dates on my blog dashboard and was shocked. I started round 15 on 1.19.11 and barely finishing it now?? I can only hope that Round 16 goes much smoother than now.
  • I am debating how to play the kids/teens. I really want them to get some form of skilling done. The poor things don't even socialize...yet its mostly the Barillas clan that dominate my game. Any suggestions?
  • Non-Playables....I have been contemplating doing this but I always end up feeling bad that they have no history. I guess I can create a new data base..then what? Do I age them and kill them off as the timeline permits?
  • Schools--I just noticed that I messed up severly in the school roster post. I guess due to the 2 year span of each round, their pictures would be taken every two years. I am going to create a centralized school that will allow skilling.
  • Rent - for the next round I will be forcing my sims to pay rent/Mortgage. I noticed that these people have been living rent free for several rounds. I tend to play the lot but not on days when rent is due.. They pay bills but no rent. I play for 2 days maybe 3 so I think I am going to find the rent amount and just charge that every game session. Any suggestions here will be appreciated.
  • OF course I follow Lakeside Heights and Sullivan..so credit to them for time span ideas and schooling thoughts.
Thanks for reading. I feel honored that you give me some of your time to read this blog. Thanks again! Comments appreciated. Now on to Round 16!
