Fanon:Newbie family: Difference between revisions

[[File:Dan Newbie listening to music.png|600px]]

 

 

Dan has what we would call the "good life"; he's wealthy, at the top of the [[Athletic_(career)#The_Sims_2|athletic career]], has a nice house and a big family, and has a bounty of friends and connections. Dan is extremely outgoing and very active, which suits his career perfectly. Dan, however, is a complete slob — 0 neat points — and is arguably undisciplined when it comes to keeping the house clean. Yes, he has an army of Servos to do the job for him, but Dan's richness and success might actually make him a failure at being an adult.

Betty's similar to Dan, but she's not as active or as sloppy as he is. She does enjoy working out and she still doesn't mind having other people do the housework for her, so I guess she's not that different from her husband.

Justin follows faithfully in his father's footsteps, again with zero neat points and a boatload of outgoing and active points. Justin likes music and dance too, but he's much more into sports, and he likes to shoot hoops on the roof with his brother. On hot days, he also likes to take a plunge into the swimming pool to cool off.<ref group="n">SimVille has all four seasons set for summer, since I wanted to have a more "tropical" climate for the region. Hence, that swimming pool sees quite a bit of use.</ref>

Evan is maxed out in active and playful points, and he's also extremely outgoing. He has two neat points — same as his mother — and he also has seven nice points, the highest in the family. Like everyone else, he doesn't have to do any work, and he can simply lean back and enjoy his childhood happily.

[[File:Oreo Newbie chillin out.png|600px]]

 

 

Oreo's also a recent development. She did not appear until I moved the Newbies into SimVille, where I created her along with the rest of the family in CAS. I don't play with pets that often in my game — in fact I only have ''three'' pets in the entire neighbourhood (excluding strays; including Oreo) — but at least now I know what cats are like in-game.

'''Amar Newbie'''

 

 

Amar is the oldest of all the other Servos, being the first robot activated to care for the family. At first, he did all of the work alone. He was quite close to the family he worked for and made many friends outside of the family, but it still kinda sucked being the only Servo in the entire neighbourhood. So he built three new Servos — and later two more — to keep him company and to enable him to do more things. We'll talk about those robots later.

'''Andrew Newbie'''

 

 

When Amar decided to start his own businesses, he needed someone who could tend to the till. Sure, he hired employees to do the job, but to save on money he figured another Servo would do the trick. Thus, Andrew was born.

'''Chase Newbie'''

 

 

Back then, the Newbies had quite a wild garden, and it took Amar forever to water all the plants, pull all the weeds, trim all the hedges, and pick all the produce. Chase was created to help out with this so Amar could tend to other chores. The vegetables and fruit trees have since been moved to one of Amar's businesses, so Chase spends a lot of time fishing in the pond after tending to the few remaining plants and hedges. The fish he catches sell well in Amar's businesses, so he helps with the flow of cash.

'''Julius Newbie'''

 

 

Crafting things takes time, and Julius was made to spend all day (and night) doing just that. Amar owns a business that exclusively sells crafted items, and Julius helps the employees a lot there.

So Amar activated two more robots whose job was to stay at home and tend to the place.

 

 

Oscar and his "brother" Roland have only four outgoing points, the lowest in the family. They're a bit like Evan in being extremely active and playful, though. While they're happy to chat with the guests during house parties, they're not as "into" the family as the others are. A bit of disunity, perhaps?

[[File:Alec Bigfoot pounding his chest.png|600px]]

 

 

I first encountered Alec when the Urbans (A family I'll talk about later) were vacationing in Three Lakes. A few weeks later, the Newbies vacationed there and decided to pay Bigfoot a little visit. After getting to know him well, Amar invited him to live with them back home in Three Lakes. I was surprised to see Alec to be quite an outgoing person, so he's a Newbie right from the get-go.
