▲'''The Logan Family'''
Next door from the [[Fanon:Kovax family|Kovax family]] are the Logans.
Line 27 ⟶ 26:

Jake and his old wife just couldn't get along, could they? Fortunately there was no hitting or other kinds of abuse, but there was no shortage of tears, hurt feelings, and broken hearts. Over the course of three years, Jake just felt like he couldn't keep the commitment he made to his wife any longer. Jake took the kids and the dog, his wife took the house and the money, and Jake moved to SimVille, looking for a fresh start. Ryan and Jordan have settled in and spread their roots, while Tucker's just good at being a four-legged companion. Jake wants a new relationship, but can he keep it? Or is becoming SimVille's fourth ill-fated romancer on his bucket list?
Line 37 ⟶ 36:
[[File:Jake Logan photo.png]]
Jake's a young athlete and video game enthusiast. He works as a Starter in the [[Athletic (career)|Athletic career]] and is otherwise financially stable. When he's not working, eating, or sleeping, he's either playing video games or working out. Or is there something else on his mind?
A month ago, Ryan and Logan came home from school with Jake missing. At first, the two didn't think too much about it — probably just another date that's gonna turn sour. They did their homework, ate dinner, played for a bit, and then went to bed. The next morning, however, Jake still wasn't in, and he missed work that day. His two sons started becoming worried about him. Finally, just when they were about to call the police to report their missing father, Jake staggered out of a taxi, half-drunk, half-drugged. After his kids spoon-fed him some soup, he quietly explained that he had spent the night before in ''La Vistas'' — a strip club in Niato, a city fifty miles (80 km) away! Ryan and Jordan, both reminded of their father's inability to keep commitments as evidenced by his divorce, were aghast. While Jake hasn't disappeared mysteriously from the house since, his kids are wary of him. Is Jake's desire for an intimate relationship translating into an unhealthy yearning for lust?
Jake is a Gemini, as are his sons. His seven active points ensure that he at least doesn't stay on the couch for very long, and his job does involve a lot of running around. Jake is also quite outgoing, which is probably what charmed his first wife in the first place. But Jake forgot that marriage has to go deeper than surface level... and he didn't dig deep enough for a solid foundation.
Line 49 ⟶ 48:
[[File:Ryan Logan photo.png]]
Ryan's the gym enthusiast — which is good, because [[Fanon:Serge Barb|Serge Barb]] doesn't like the Logans, and his high body skill rivals the town troublemaker's. Ryan's four nice points, however, doesn't hold up very well, and he sometimes loses his cool. He generally reserves his anger for Serge Barb, however, and chances are you'll get on his good side more often than his bad. If you happen to find Ryan at the gym, you'll typically find him at his best, so do greet him if you see him there.
Line 61 ⟶ 60:
[[File:Jordan Logan photo.png]]
Jordan's also a fitness enthusiast, but he also has a thirst for adventure like the Urban twins do. Spelunking appeals to him especially, and he hopes to land a job in the Adventurer career someday. For now, though, he's quite happy with his current arsenal of exercise equipment. He's also the master of Tucker, the family dog. "Every boy needs a dog," as I read somewhere. Well, Jordan certainly has one.
Line 71 ⟶ 70:
[[File:Tucker Logan photo.png]]
Tucker is the family greyhound, a hyper, friendly dog that would also be thrown out of a neat-freak's house. While Tucker's been trained to stay clean, the Logans don't have many neat points on their end either, so they don't mind Tucker being a little dirty here and there — just so long as he doesn't escape from the bath.
Line 117 ⟶ 116:

Ryan and Jordan go to school. Jake also has to leave the house at the same time. Tucker doesn't have a job, but thanks to [http://www.leefish.nl/mybb/thread-3005.html a mod], animal services won't come ''just'' because no Sims are around! Because seriously, people leave their pets alone at home for a day in order to go to work/school in real life. What was Maxis seriously thinking here when they coded this in?!

Tucker's alone... well, not really. ''I'' get to watch over him and take care of him myself (with cheats!). However, pets are rather boring and dull in ''The Sims 2''... so there's not much I can do with this four-legged friend, aside from having him gnaw at his chew toy.

Ryan gets home by 1. He has a job at [[Fanon:Amar's Hangout|Amar's Hangout]], working as a server in the restaurant there. It's not exactly a job he likes, but he ''does'' get to work at Amar's Hangout... I mean, how much more awesome can that get? Plus, Amar's Hangout has a gym, so on breaks and after his shift's over, he can just run upstairs and tone his muscles.

There's no texting in ''The Sims 2'', but that doesn't stop Ryan from chatting with his friends.

<u>'''Conclusion'''</u>
The Logans seem like a fairly ordinary single-parent family on the outside, but on the inside, Jake's having some serious issues, both with his lustful quest and his video game addiction. Jake needs to take some time off and focus on other pursuits. After all, he ''does'' have two boys and a dog to take care of, and he ''does'' at least have a solid source of income, so why leave it at that? Jake's probably forgotten that he has family at home; he doesn't need to go to strip clubs to find company! If Jake's that interested in pursuing one-night stands, then he should probably take a look at [[Fanon:Cody Day|Cody Day]] and see how ''he'' turned out. As for Ryan and Jordan, they should realize that their father's going through a pretty rough time, and he needs them more than ever. As tempting as it seems for Ryan to just give Jake the boot and toss him onto the curb, he shouldn't. Where's Jake gonna go if that happens? Regardless of the circumstances, Jake is still their father, and every Sim deserves a second chance. A third chance. Fourth chance. Seventy-seven times seven chances! No matter what, families can only survive if they remain unified. No one wants to see the family they grew up in fade from existence, do they?
Thanks for reading. Stay tuned for more!
