Fanon:Janet Parker

Jacob Parker is a teenage Sim who lives with his family in Willow Creek. He is the second oldest child to James and Joanna Parker. His twin brother Jared is the oldest child. Jacob is also the older brother to Julia, Jenna and later Jordan.

Just like his twin brother, Jacob is in his senior year of high school. Also, similar to his mother, Jacob wishes to start a family following graduation, choosing the Successful Lineage path. However, Jacob seems to be struggling with his sexual identity because he occasionally wears feminine clothing. So he just hopes that he can find someone to start a family with.

The Sims 4
Despite being one of the oldest children in the Parker home at Potters Splay, Jacob is the second oldest, with his twin brother Jared being the oldest child. However, Jacob is still older than his sisters, Julia and Jenna and his eventual brother, Jordan. Jacob also seems to have the most in common with several members of his family. He looks like his father, James. He is also ready to graduate with Jared. He also aspires to raise a family, just like his mother, Joanna. However, Jacob is struggling with his sexual identity because he sometimes wears feminine clothing on occasion, making it a little difficult for him to achieve it if he ever pursues it. To add more difficulty, no one in Jacob's family knows that he's in the closet.

He keeps this secret at school as well. At school, he meets Karissa Gallagher. They immediately become best friends. In fact, Jacob trusts Karissa so much that he tells his secret that he identifies as a woman to her. Karissa promises to keep it a secret, but she returns in a couple of days to continue talking about it. Jacob explains his situation a little deeper over a game of basketball. Karissa suggests that he tells his family his secret sooner rather than later. After the game, Jacob takes a shower and misses Jared flirting with Karissa.

The next evening, Jacob catches Jared all dressed up in his formalwear. Jared then explains his budding romance with Karissa and that he didn't tell Jacob because he thinks Jacob also has a crush on Karissa. Jacob explains he doesn't have a crush on Karissa and decides to come out to Jared. Initially surprised, Jared promises to keep it a secret from their parents. Jacob then wishes Jared luck on his date.

A couple of weeks later, Jacob decides to do his homework with Jared and Karissa. As they do their homework, Jacob reminds them that they're the only people who know his secret and asks them both about how and when he should come out to the rest of the family. Jared recommends he should wait until he's ready, but Karissa recommends that he should come out now so that weight is lifted off his shoulders. This just leaves Jacob more confused as Jackie comes into the kitchen and interrupts the conversation.

The next morning, Jacob talks to himself in the bathroom mirror, encouraging himself that day is the day he would come out to the family, at least one person at a time. He also encourages himself that Joanna would be the first one he comes out to. However, he plans on doing it at the end of the day. Jacob soon forgets to do as planned when he learns from Joanna during dinner that their family is hosting a going away party for their next-door neighbors, the Cagles, and that only the neighborhood is invited.

Jacob eventually remembers his plan the next morning and encourages himself in the mirror again, saying that Joanna would be the first to know his secret. However, while watching Waltzing with Celebrities with Jared and Julia, he decides not to go through with his plan, not wanting to spoil the fun. The next morning he decides that he's not ready to come out to Joanna and instead is going to focus on coming out to Jackie.

Then, when Jacob tries to follow through with his plan, he walks in on Jackie all dressed up for a date. He says that their talk can wait. The next day, while sitting by the fireplace, Jackie sits next to him to have their talk. Jacob is still not ready to come out and decides to ask about some love advice for his life. The next day, on a warm fall day, Jacob tells himself that he is not ready to come out to anyone else just yet. However, he pulls Karissa aside and asks for advice on finding confidence needed for him to come out. Karissa says she isn't the right person to be asking, but she suggests that he should come out to his siblings first. Jacob decides to do just that.

He first comes out to Jordan by saying he will only remember Jacob as being a woman when he is older. He then comes out to Jenna in Joanna's bedroom. Jenna tells him okay without understanding all of it. They are then caught by Joanna who finds them in her bedroom. Jacob is relieved to know that Joanna thinks they were just playing in her bedroom. The next day, not only does he meet Jackie's new boyfriend in David Wren, but Jacob also comes out to Julia, much to Julia's confusion. Jacob explains she'll understand when she is older and asks for her to keep it a secret from their parents.

Some time later, on a freezing cold day, Jacob updates Karissa and Jared about his coming out status. He tells them that he came out as a woman to Julia, Jenna, and Jordan. Jared responds with understanding surprise. About a week later on Spooky Day, Jacob is invited to Karissa's house for a Spooky Day party because her parents aren't going to be home. Feeling comfortable around his friends, Jacob sneaks out of the house in a girl's dress and heads to the party with Jared. He parties with his friends until he leaves with Jared before Karissa's parents return home.
