This small but neat house is home to the Kims.
Justin Kim was a boy with black hair when the game begun; he and his parents lived in a house that was built like a space ship, and Maxis wrote into their biography that the Kims had once been the stars of Science Fiction TV show.
While Justin was at uni, his parents perished in a fire. When he graduated, he decided not to move back into his childhood home - too many painful memories there. Instead, he bought this house, where after a while he was joined by a long-lost relative of his, a townie with the surname Kim. His uncle died eventually, and Justin was on his own once more, until he met and married Cherry, one of Tybalt Capp's former plant children. He changed his hair colour to blonde to better match his wife's turn-ons. Justin is on permanent platinum (he became Hall of Famer some time ago), while Cherry is still working on her lifetime want of becoming Professional Party Guest.
On this Monday morning, she harvests another batch of flowers from her hydrophonic garden on the back porch.
Justin feeds the fish and then tosses a coin at the shrine, as has become his daily habit years ago.
Don't be mislead by Cherry's sourly expression. She loves her husband dearly and can't help her face - it is in her genes (remember Tybalt Capp's constantly turned-down mouth and frown?).
Justin is rarely controlled by me, and here he has decided on his own accord to prepare stuffed turkey for the couple's dinner. What's the reason for this celebratory meal?
It is Justin's birthday! At 6:00 pm, he interrupts the dinner-making and turns into an Elder. The outfit will have to go, I think.
Unfortunately, his mind must have been elsewhere, because he sets the stove on fire.
There is no fire alarm in the house, and so the unavoidable happens... first Cherry (still 6 days from Elderhood) and then Justin perish in the flames.
Well, that was an unexpectedly short visit with the Kims, wasn't it!
It's been quite a while since any of my Sims died that way.
Another family name has died out in New Max, unless a townie or other NPC will be generated with the surname Kim.
And we're off already to the next household on the alphabetical list.
The first fire of the new year, the poor Kim's and your population.
ReplyDeleteWell, my population is supposed to shrink as the years go by, that was my intention from the start when I set up New Max. But I really did not expect the Kims to last not even one full day this round!
DeleteWhat a shame for Justin and Cherry!
ReplyDeleteI thought Justin’s Elder outfit was quite appropriate given his sci-fi loving background.
Bye bye to The Kim family, an adventurous if not short start to 2020 in New Max!
That was really unexpected!
DeleteYou have a point there regarding Jusin's outfit, I didn't think of that.
I am well into the next week at the next household on the list, but am (again) away for the weekend so won't be able to finish and write it up until next week.
Oh je... Das ging schnell. Lässt du die Häuser bewusst ohne Feuermelder, wenn keine drin sind? Irgendwas ist mir das entfallen. Liebe Grüße :)
ReplyDeleteManchmal denke ich tatsächlich einfach nicht dran, einen Feuermelder zu installieren. Wenn ein Bewohner den Wunsch hat, wird er erfüllt.
