Week 3 - Round 6 - 7 Maple Square (Cormier)

Hey! Check it out, there's a new house in town. I wonder who lives here?
(A/N: House design by Vertefae of TSR, lot was originally 3x2, so I've rebuilt on a 4x4)


Good lord Ricky, can't you ever stand up straight? I'm trying to reintroduce you to the folks. Oh well.

Ricky was immediately sent to the computer to find a job. The first job offered was in the Art track, which will be Ricky's second career, so we skipped it. The second was Slacker. Wow Ricky! You sure have some kind of luck today!


Ground Floor aerial shot. I've added a few things for Ricky after selling off all his date things, like a computer and easel.


Second Floor. Yup, Ricky brought his Hall of Fame with him, and the first thing he did after buying the house was hang up his portraits.


Ricky's off to his first day of work as a Freelance Web Designer. Hey! That's my job! You'll notice that as usual the wolves have shown up to dig holes in the yard.


2nd LTW fulfilled. His new one? Become Hall of Famer. I just may let him. Afterall, that's a great career reward to have.


Oh Kerie, I missed your lips so much! I've actually gone almost two whole days without Makingout or Woohooing, save me Kerie!


For some reason unknown to him, Ricky asked Kerie to move in with him.

Ricky decided to marry Kerie right away before he thought about it too much. He's still the romance sim you know.


Kerie and Ricky immediately decided to consumate their vows, lol.

And here's Kerie with her new makeover.

Being a Fortune sim it doesn't really matter that she wants to raise pets for a living. She'll never stop complaining unless I let her get a job too. She'll start pet training tomorrow I think.


Wednesday morning Kerie headed over to the local pet store. She talked to many of the local residents about what kind of dog she should buy. First she talked with Cadence and Aremis. The both suggested something intellicent, and Cadence said that if she was planning on having children that a big dog would be better since it would be easier for the dog to escape little fingers being stuck where they don't belong.


Monica said she should get a dog to match her house, but we can't all have pink dogs, can we? snicker.


Finally Kerie chose Miller. He's got a fairly average personality, but he's a genius, although fairly agressive. Miller is my attempt to recreate my step-father's beloved Belgian Shepard Miller, but I couldn't get the coloring right.


He does however act like the real Miller. "Oh boy, Oh boy, CAR RIDE!!!!!!"


The first thing he did when he got to the house was go after the most expensive piece of furniture that they owned, so one of his first memories of the new house is being scolded.


Kerie was feeling really tired for some reason, so she asked Ricky if he could teach Miller how to Shake for his first night on the job.


Sierra is definetly the new Debbie. Tara was greeted, but Sierra just walked in and made herself at home.


Poor Miller, his first night was too rough on him. He came home exhausted, with a full bladder, and desperately in need of chewing on something. I think he's dreaming about all the vermin chasing he did. He spent the whole night on the sidewalk sleep-running and sleep-growling. He was so exhausted he couldn't even make it to his bed.


5:30 am. Guess who finally figured out she's pregnant. You look like a big purple grape you know.


I love how Miller runs out every morning to greet the mailman. He's the only sim pet I've ever seen that actually makes it out there in time every morning! Then he follows him to the end of the lot, turns around and follows whichever walk-by came by to the other end of the lot. He's learned some manners, so he doesn't bark at them, he just watches and follows.


Kerie brought Jasmine home from work with her and decided to pick her brain about the mini-golf game the company gave her.


OMG!!! Jasmine what are you doing! I can't believe one of my own sims would betray me this way!

Yup, that's a Miller alright.

I swear he's laughing at her. He probably already knows how to Roll Over and is just funning her.


Good Boy! He now has all the skills he needs for the Service career track.


Well, it was a rough couple of days for Kerie and Miller. At one point Miller was growling at Kerie everytime she came near him, but their friends now, and all is right in the world.
