Jenkins 1

Year 22-26 (Fall) - Flaming Poo

Jenkins Family:
Moria Jenkins - Female Adult - Fortune - Become General - Libra
James Jenkins - Male Young Adult - Romance - Woohoo 20 Different Sims - Aquarius - Philosophy Major

Last Round: The Jenkins' were actually in two different updates recently.  When we last visited the Jenkins house Moria was waiting for James to finish up university and come back to her. James visited her and made her round better. While James was in university he did cause some drama, but when we saw him last he was just finishing up life in university and get graduated. 

James gets home from university and almost instantly gets to work on taking out the trash.  James has always been a good kid with his grandma, helping her out all the time and doing things for her.



Jame, however, is a romance sim and greats this woman, Nerissa Inada.  James finds her decently attractive enough and talks to her, and before you know it we have a crush between the two.



Shortly after Nerissa finds herself in James' bed and they have a little of the fun James likes to have.  He has added another lover to his list. This brings him to 4 people.  He has built up a lot of relationships but hasn't been spending time getting them all to this point.  If he wants to reach his LTW he'll have to do more of this.


Moria has spent a lot of her time painting since James got back.  She is interested in her creative front and even has her hobby plaque in Arts and Crafts.



James heads downtown and plays some pinball.  He also meets a few more ladies he could probably get closer to as well.



Moria also was spending time away from the house.  She went and played some poker and enjoyed her time.



Even though James doesn't have a career LTW, he does have a job, but sadly due to a bad chance card, he came home demoted.  It didn't overly affect James, however, as this job isn't his first priority in life.



Instead of fretting over the job he calls over his most recent friend, who wants to bring over her own friend.  The friend is a girl he knew in college and had a good time with.  Things do not go well on this date, and no matter what he does this girl finds his "moves" unflattering and the date ends horribly.



Not to be too deterred he asks another friend over.  This one instantly wants to set James up with someone she thinks he'll get along great with.  James accepts the offer and this elder falls from the sky. The flaming poo from the horrible date had been dropped off and was still burning away as you can see.



Moria decides to visit the town graveyard one day, there haven't been that many who have died yet and been brought here, but Moria spends all her time being grossed out by the trash bins that were there.  I guess she'll be buying a plot that isn't next to those.



James decided to get into making flower arrangements and buys himself a florist bench to put in his room.  He gets a bronze badge easily.


The elder lady he had a date with earlier calls and invites him for another date downtown.  He decides to go and they have a good time dancing together.


Back at home, James invites over the college girl he enjoys spending time with, Renee Stalkamp, and they have some fun in James room.


Moria had become a bit of a skill nut, she wanted to learn cooking and creative skills left and right.  So a good portion of her time had been taken up doing that.


During a study session the phone rang, and when she went to answer is Grim called on Moria. I, unfortunately, had the speed at 3 and forgot I couldn't pause it because she was the only one in the house so I missed the entire thing.  She died approximately August 23rd of year 26, but she died in Platinum.


When James came home from work that day he went and laid in Moria's bed and looked at the painting she had completed of him, as well as the new one she was working on.  He would miss his grandma a lot, even though they hadn't spent as much time together since he got home.


James continued to work at his flower bench and reach a silver badge before the season was out.  James is alone in the house now and will have to decide what to do with Moria's bedroom.  Moria was moved to the cemetery in town where she was not put next to a trash bin.


On that slightly sad note, we end fall with the Jenkins' family.  They are down to one member now, and I have to wonder if James will ever accidentally have offspring of his own.  Time will tell when we get back to him next round. James has reached 6 lovers so he is about a 1/4 of the way through his LTW.

  1. James had a great week heading towards his LTW, Nerissa sure had bed hair didn’t she?! He packed a lot into his week what with his various lovers, promotions and badges.
    Moria too had a nice week with her Grandson being home before she moved on.

    1. James was very busy. I didn't feel like we did that much when I was playing it, but looking back at the pictures, we accomplished quite a bit. I was sad Moria died the way she did, but she went out in good spirits. :) Thanks for stopping by.

  2. It's a great strategy to build the friendships first and then rack up the loves one after Another. It doesn't even matter if he gets caught "cheating", as long as HE loves THEM :)

    1. That is good to know that the "love" doesn't have to be reciprocal. Here we use ACR so jealousy isn't as big of a concern as it is in the rest of my hoods. Thanks for reading!

  3. Ha. Well, James has attraction markers for the older ladies! Nothing wrong with that. If he doesn't make it with Renee, maybe he can adopt a child if he is interested in continuing the Jenkins line. Missed Moira's death...sad..but funny that she was moved to the cemetery and was buried but not next to the trash bin. That made me chuckle.

    1. I saw the death, but couldn't pause to capture it but that happens sometimes. :) Yes, Moria was a fun sim to have around for awhile. We will see what happens with the Jenkins line. With having ACR I wouldn't put it out of the question that he will have a random kid with someone at some point. Maybe after he's through his 20. Thanks for reading!
