Janet Parker, previously known as Jacob Parker, is a male-to-female transgendered Sim. She is the second oldest child to James and Joanna Parker. Her twin brother Jared is the oldest child. Janet is also the older brother-later-sister to Julia, Jenna, and Jordan.
Throughout Janet's teenage years, she struggles to come to terms with her sexual identity. She stays in the closet for a long time, slowly revealing her identification as a woman to her friend, Karissa Gallagher, her twin brother, Jared, and later the rest of her family. For the sake of effeciency, Janet prefers to be referred as Jacob whenever talking about the times leading up to her coming out. Any moment after her coming out, she prefers Janet.
Life History
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 and even has a dance party with Karissa at one point until he leaves with Jared before Karissa's parents return home.
Jacob is the second person to learn about Karissa's pregnancy, after Jared tells him. This information causes Jacob to use Jared's dilemma and Karissa's pregnancy as a cover for him coming out to James, Joanna, and Jackie. A couple of days later, Jacob learns about Jackie's promotion and the fact that she has to move to Oasis Springs to accept it. Jacob is excited because he thinks he can move to Oasis Springs after graduation with Jackie in order to start a new life as a woman and decides that he's going to ask her. The night that Karissa reveals her pregnancy to the rest of the Parkers, Jacob asks Jackie if he can move with her while she is setting up a cot to sleep on. Jackie asks why he would want to do that. Unable to think of an excuse, Jacob comes out as a woman to Jackie and explains the benefits of the move. While Jackie is accepting of everything he just said, she advises that he come out to his parent first and think about moving before deciding to actually move, leaving Jacob defeated.
After Jackie leaves, Jared shows up and accuses Jacob of using Karissa's pregnancy as a cover for his coming out. Jacob apologizes and Jared asks for Jacob not to come out on that night. By the time Harvestfest rolls around, Jacob decides it's finally time to come out to his parents in order to fulfill Jackie's advice. He comes out to James and tells him about the plan to move with Jackie. James is very thankful that he knows about Jacob's identity now and approves of him and his plan, but also advises that Joanna knows about it too. Fearing that Joanna will be the only one not to accept him, Jacob lies to Jackie about coming out to both of his parents and approving his plan, which makes Jackie skeptical.
Jacob enjoys his Harvestfest dinner, but afterwards Joanna confronts him about his sexual identity because Jackie had told her. Joanna explains that she accepts both him and his plan because she trusts Jacob and Jackie. She also says that she will never stop loving Jacob or keep him from being his true self. Jacob thanks his mother before being asked his true name. She responds with Janet.
Half a week after Harvestfest, Janet meets his new niece and nephew, Nicole and Brody Parker. Several weeks after their birth, Janet graduates with her brother, Jared, and her same old friend, Karissa. She then says goodbye to her family and leaves with Jackie to live in Oasis Springs.
