Name: Noah Clark
Aspiration: Romance
LTW: Have 20 Lovers
Sign: Pisces (5/3/7/3/7)
Turn On's: Blonde and Brown Hair
Turn Off: Grey Hair
Starting off, Noah needed a job; and fast. With only $86 in the bank, we needed the highest paying job available, so we went with the Military career.
Being a Romance Sim and all, it wasn't long before he started flirting on the first girl that strutted by his house, which ended up being ol' Tiffany Zarubin from the Garden Club.
The two soon became extremely close, and then Sophie Miguel hopped aboard the "Noah" train.
Then there was Linda Barthelet (who is the one female I actually liked out of all the girls Noah had met so far. I'm guessing it's her chubby cheeks, but I really don't know why.)
So then some jurk-faced robber decided to stop by the shabby Clark household and steal his workout bike (that thing costs like, $900!!). The police caught him/her, but in the end Noah only got $360 back... The frig, man!?
I wasn't having any chance with the ladies and Noah, so I decided to make him go gay for a bit! Here's Clark Wright. Imagine if he got married into the family . Also, Clark was a very nice man and offered Noah a position in the Culinary career as a Host, and Noah happily accepted the job offer (after much Sim Wiki researching to see which job would pay the most in the end).
I just realized I failed to capture a picture, but along the lovers list was a decent-looking mailgirl by the name of Dagmar Bertino (I was concidering her, but her name totally kicked her out of my challenge. It would have drove me CRAZY writing that out!)
Then I decided to hop aboard the genie train and get a blind date (which I also failed to get a picture of). The girl we ended up with was pretty ugly, but they had two or three bolts (I'm pretty sure three), so the date went along quite smoothly.
--> At this point in time, I seriously got sick of taking pictures of people kissing, but there were at least five to fifteen other lovers that Noah hooked up with <--
So in the end I decided that Linda would be the lucky girl who got the hot-pixeled Noah out of the ugly bowl of girls that was thrown at me. So Linda Barthlet became Linda Clark (which, if I were her, I'd be happy to have. Clark is so much easier to spell as well as write.) I just hoped to GOD that at least one kid ended up looking decent.
She moved in with only $2,000, so there wasn't much furnishing going on. I only added a small 2x2 room for a bathroom as well as a double bed.
Also, while I was changing her outfit no matter what you find out what their aspiration is, so I found out that she's a Popularity Sim.. Yay -__-. Thank God I never actually have to control her!
So after THREE-FREAKING-TRIES (and while doing so, made Noah miss his carpool to work thus making me have to buy a temporary car), Linda ended up pregnant. Also, if anyone was wondering; Noah was a virgin up until now. I don't know why, but I decided that even though he was a Romance Sim I wanted his first time to be special, and not make him sex-up some random fuggo. Aren't I just nice?
A couple of watermelon bumps later, Linda went into labour.
Then, baby Owen Clark was born. He's adorable, ain't he (though all babies are, aren't they? Their true selves come out when their toddlers). So far he has Linda's hair colour and Noah's brown eyes, and his skintone is going towards his Dad's lighter colour.
Yet again, failing to have a photo (someone, kick me), I decided to buy the Asperation Award that allows you to change your Aspiration and made him a Knowledge Sim. I decided that since he's now settled down and needs to start focusing on his family, that that was the best aspiration to go with. I hate cheaters, also. His new Lifetime Wish is to reach the top of the Adventure career and become a Space Pirate.
As well, randomly and somehow, Linda came home and was promoted to a Hostess (letting me know that she is in the Culinary career track like Noah). I don't know how she was promoted but alright!
So finally it was time for baby Owen to grow up and he actually grew up cute! I was extremely happy and pleased. I'm awful at telling the genetics apart usually, but you can tell he has his Mommy's cheeks (YAY!), and the rest mostly his Daddy's features. I'm not complaigning, what a good lookin' kid!
So the one thing I hate about Owen now is that he can now beg his mother constantly to read him a book. So it's damn annoying because they're always getting in the way of poor Noah, as well as Linda missed her dang carpool because of this! It was fine in the end, though, because she managed to have three days of paid vacation.
So, after a while a genie lamp was dumped on my lot! Now, I have a hack that allows me to have more then three wishes, but I only made three wishes (two of them so that he lives longer since he was going to grow up soon, and also the one to give him wealth). Cheating, I don't think so! It did ruin the prospect of saving up money to actually afford a nice house, but that doesn't bother me.
So in the end I ended up with $64,155 in the bank. I kept the bathroom the same size, added on two rooms and made the living/kitchen/dining room a little bigger. I still had around $50,000 in the bank afterwards, so you can tell I didn't spend much. I enjoy keeping my houses small usually, so maybe later in life I'll make it a little bigger but for now I'm enjoying the size.
So I noticed one day after Linda came home from work (managing to get ANOTHER!? promotion to Waitress), that she had gained a little weight. Opps, maybe I shouldn't have clicked the "Call To Food... Household" option so many times... Hey, I didn't want Noah's pregnant wife to starve herself! Usually when I'm playing this challenge and there is a non-controllable pregnant girl running around, I leave out a plateful of gelatin and click that option about six times a Sim day to make sure she is fed and good to go!
Soon, Mrs Linda Clark (sorry, I felt like writing it out like that) ended up pregnant once more. Horray for more gelatin breakfast! I'm hoping on this kid ending up as cute as Owen did, but who knows.
I also managed to get Owen into Private School because I just have that talent. Look, even the Headmaster is STILL SMILING as he leaves my awesome lot full of the aroma of delicious turkey and nicely-furnished rooms.
Actually, FINALLY, Noah managed to reach the top of the Culinary career! Too bad it wasn't his Lifetime Wish, so now I'll have to be working towards that. Noah'll be keeping his nose stuck in a paper/computer screen everyday now!
I'll leave you with a picture of the new baby, Olivia Clark, that was born. She has her Daddy's brown eyes and black hair, as well as lighter skin tone.
Will Olivia end up as cute as Owen is?
Will Olivia be the torchcarrier, or will Owen?
Will Linda have another child?
Will Noah reach his lifetime wish?
Will Noah give up on life surrounded by all these idiots?
Only time will tell... Update soon!
