The Baldwins
Hey -
Background: The Baldwins consist of Benjamin, Isabel (Niece of Carlos Contender, an elderly casanova), and their two kids, Sofia and Marcus, a child and toddler.
Marcus grew up uneventfully, and I gave him the curly hair from Mansion and Garden Stuff, looking very Enrique Inglesias.
Two days later, Sofia grew up to a teenager. Even though the game hinted that she should be a knowledge sim, the dice rolled for a popularity sim. I invited Carlos, Sophia’s great-uncle, because he was in their family photos so much I didn’t want him to miss her birthday. Isabel seemed to be having some early-onset arthritis during the celebration.
Benjamin had to miss the party because he was at work – I’ve played two seasons of them, and he has the necessary skills, but he hasn’t been promoted yet (from inventor) because of his lack of friends…

I gave Sophia a makeover, and she kinda looks like Rihanna. I gave her hair also from Mansion and Garden, but I’m PISSED that it’s not animated. Lazy EAxis didn’t even open CAS before shipping.
A few days after growing up, I decided she’d introduce herself to one of the fellow teens living at the apartment, I think name was Sean Peterson or something like that. He thought she was hot, she thought he was hot, so she gave a shot asking him out on a date – but as you can see here, she got shot down pretty quick, and she looks REALLY upset about it. Like she might punch him.
Sorry for the super short post, I haven’t been playing a lot lately, being sooo sleepy. *Yawn* I’m gonna go take a nap.
