Start Over, 2007

Peacar, winter, 2007

Jesse is 41, Fiona is 38, Veronika is 9, Jessica and Jennifer are 4, Jeremy is 2



Late last simyear, the Kent family lost their home in an electrical fire. The family was safe but everything was loss in the fire and they had to start over. Veronika was the most upset in the family considering several of her pieces that she prepared for her show were in the house and destroyed. She was slowly working on new pieces and excited that sims from all over the simworld were talking about her work.


If she kept up the good work, she might have the opportunity to show overseas in Deux-Sèvres. Her grandmother, Ayanna, was her encourager, helping her to stay focused on her art and researching possible venues for future showings.


For the last few simlonic months, the family lived in a cramped two bedroom apartment in the metro.


It was a nice place, but space was limited when you had four children and two, sometimes three adults.


Fiona had taken to using the restroom as a space to practice for her cases as it was the only place in the house were she could get peace without screaming toddlers.

But soon, it would be over.


Jesse spent a good portion of the year meeting with Li concerning the development of their new home.


There new house would use the same land space,


but it was better suited for entertaining as Fiona was going to be doing


a lot more of that thanks to recent developments in her career.


A few simweeks ago, Fiona was asked to be partner at Stern & Clerks, it was the pinnacle of any lawyer's career and she gladly accepted. For simdays she had been floating on cloud nine, nothing could spoil her mood.


"This calls for a toast," Jesse said after the last piece of furniture was put into place in the new house. It was still a bit bare, as they had to completely start over, but they had time to personalize their home soon.

"A toast to finally moving in," Fiona agreed.


"And to the new partner at Stern & Clerks, congratulations."

ROS: Fulfill your biggest desire. Fiona wanted to become "The Law" so it worked perfectly.


The Kents lived in the Cinderblock Apartments while waiting for thier new custom built home.

  4. -Carla, Veronika is scary smart. I checked her skills and she has more than her parents do and she's not even a teen yet. She's maxed out on creativity and is rolling wants to build more skills.

    -HCove, She's been wanting this since her teen years, it's also her LTW so she's permaplat now.

    -Riverdale, It is, I'm just happy to get them back into a larger home, it's crazy trying to raise three toddlers and a child in a cramped apartment.

  5. Congrats Fiona! I can't wait to see the new house, it'll be interested to see how they choose to decorate given that they will host nice parties. Veronika is extremely bright for her age! Can't wait to see what she does as she gets older.
