<big>'''The Cuevas'''</big>
One day during my Christmas break in December 2016, I was looking at my then-incomplete novel [https://www.wattpad.com/story/68838094 For my little brother]. I really liked the characters in the novel, more than the story itself, perhaps, and because I was bored on my hands, I decided to recreate those characters in ''The Sims 2''.
Or at least tried to! I'm not one to replicate appearances in The Sims, nor did I offer any descriptions of the main character or his family in the novel. But appearances weren't really on my mind, and I frequently recycled old Sim appearances anyways. What really mattered, at least to me, were the characters and their personalities.
So I created the Cuevas. The name was generated from a random name generator. It's not the last name of the main character in my novel, since I both wanted to 1) Recreate the same Sims in-game, and 2) Wanted to make them ''technically different'' Sims at the same time. Ugh. Perhaps I regret my decision. But the Sims have settled into SimVille quite nicely... kinda.

Line 43 ⟶ 42:
[[File:Thomas Cuevas in his garden.png|600px]]
Thomas is the father of the family. He worked as a labourer in shanty towns since the age of 12, having lost both of his parents to disease. He lived with six other boys inside an abandoned warehouse as squatters, and over the course of his adolescence saw most of them fall into a life of crime. He met Isabelle in a church, got married to her, and had four children. The new family he had to take care of motivated Thomas to find a way out of the old life he lived, and after many years, finally found it. He and his family flew to SimVille, and with [[Fanon:Amar Newbie|Amar Newbie]]'s help, he now has a solid job in the [[Adventurer]] career track. The body skills he picked up carrying heavy loads on the street certainly help with this, and though Thomas isn't in the best of health, he's happy that he's finally made it.
Line 61 ⟶ 60:
[[File:Isabelle has an idea.png|600px]]
Isabelle grew up in the slums as well. Her parents owned a food stall on the street, and every day she would help her parents out with running the business. Her real passion, however, is literature, and when she learned how to read and write for the first time in her life, she'd write for hours on end if she didn't have to go to school or work at the food stall. Her diary is filled with her experiences selling food on the street and life in the favelas. She now works in the [[Education]] career as a Teacher's Aide, but she still misses her old life.
Line 73 ⟶ 72:
[[File:Julio on the phone.png|600px]]
Julio's a bit of a rougher face in the house; I would say the shanty towns have conditioned him fairly well for rough and tough city streets. Before the family left for SimVille, Julio had many connections around his old neighbourhood, and they had formed a sense of community there. He was fine in the slums; all he needed were his friends and his father's support. Julio was not happy about the move, however, as he lost contact with his buddies back home. The relationship between him and Thomas is starting to sour, and without a solid bond with his mother or his younger siblings, he fell into a life of crime. He doesn't feel attached to his family anymore...
Line 87 ⟶ 86:
[[File:Garrett Cuevas chilling on patio.png|600px]]
Garrett is the second-born child of the family, and yes, I like Garrett best because of that. With Julio failing to play his role as the eldest sibling, Garrett has happily usurped him and plays that role for his two younger siblings. Garrett's also fairly close to his mother, but he doesn't see Thomas as a good fatherly figure. Every child needs a father; will Garrett ever get one?
Line 99 ⟶ 98:
[[File:Cheryl Cuevas doing the hula.png|600px]]
Cheryl's the most outgoing member of the Cuevas family, and everyone in their old neighbourhood knew that. Never one to shy away from social activities, the high population density in the slums were more of a blessing than a curse for her.
Line 107 ⟶ 106:
[[File:Cheryl chatting with Evan Newbie.png|600px]]
Cheryl doesn't exist in my novel; this was a character I added in order to ''try'' to make the Cuevas totally not like the family I made in my novel. Given the fact that Isabelle's a family Sim, though, I don't think she minds having another mouth to feed.
'''Evan Cuevas'''
Line 115 ⟶ 114:
[[File:Evan Cuevas bedroom pose 2.png|600px]]
Evan's the shiest of the Cuevas, but also the most playful to make up for it. Although Evan was still able to make friends back home in the slums, he mostly kept to himself and his family, preferring to stay with old faces rather than meeting new ones.
Line 129 ⟶ 128:
Unlike most recent immigrants to SimVille, the Cuevas aren't living in a cramped apartment, but in a nice detached house. Thomas really wanted the kids to have more room, more than the old slum they used to live in, so he spent most of the money he made on their new home. Even Julio has to admit that it's better than their old dwelling.
The house is a premade, lot bin house that shipped with ''Nightlife'' (I think). It's a nice city townhouse that features a second-storey front door, walk-out basement, garage, and patio.

Hope you enjoyed this! Sorry it took a bit longer than usual to get this out. Again, the story the characters are (mostly) based off of is called "For my little brother". You can read it on [https://www.wattpad.com/story/68838094 Wattpad] or [https://goo.gl/ekq4Vp Google Docs].
