She'd be more likely to think of her own comfort with something like this.<br /><br />Oh, wow, it would have been the same week for Adrienne and April, wouldn't it? Hopefully, they can both pull themselves out of the mess they're in, although Adrienne kind of has a head start on April.

And he's got a bit of the Caleb effect going on now too. I think it was Laura who commented way back when and said Caleb became more adorable after he broke up with Abigail. Bad luck ups the sympathy/empathy factor and Nick's had a lot of it.<br /><br />Adrienne had to tell people because eventually, they'll know. She's decided not to terminate but she hasn't yet decided whether she'll adopt it out or raise it. And neither have I!

He got his first kiss at 23, the same year he lost his virginity. Both were with Madelyn. And then they lived in sin for 14 years before finally getting married! LOL.<br /><br />At one time, I'd got rid of all the ugly townies but when I added another university for Patience's exchange trip, I got a bunch more fugs.

I told my husband that I finally caught up and he just gave me a weird look lol.<br /><br />Ah ok, I'm confusing Caleb with another one of your sims. I remember one of them didn't have his first kiss until he was in his 20s. But seeing I started from the very beginning, that could've been over 50 years ago lol! I'll have to try to remember who that was.<br /><br />And that's good that the baby won't have fug townie genes. I like the Kendal/Gordon face too. I've deleted most of the sims that have the original facial defaults but left a couple with the faces I like in.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07006019503835147657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-15392087735636266302010-06-03T09:09:35.018+10:002010-06-03T09:09:35.018+10:00Danielle, there is an element of history repeating...<b>Danielle</b>, there is an element of history repeating itself with Nick but I wouldn't say Caleb had a slow start exactly but he was 31 before he met Cara. Caleb briefly dated Madelyn as a teen, met Abigail while still a teen and knocked her up. They were together for about 7 years before she cheated on him with Jesse. And now it's happened to poor Nick as well.<br /><br />LOL, if you're shallow, so am I! I was really glad Adrienne didn't woohoo one of those random fugs who I haven't yet attacked with the plastic surgery machine! Sabastian has the same facial template as Gordon and Kendal though, so this baby should probably be quite agreeable to look at. <br /><br />And you're now caught up!

And I was just thinking, his dad had a slow start with romance too, didn't he? And then he found Abigail and then was cheated on, too. How history repeats itself, if I'm remembering correctly. I know you have great plans for him though. :) LOL at the constant booty calling. Poor guy! He just wants some love!<br /><br />And wow, Adrienne pregnant by some random townie. Didn't have any boys to mess around with in high school and she just completely went crazy in college LOL. I hope the townie was cute at least :P (How shallow is that?! lol) What a rough road ahead for her, though. At least it seems like her family is supportive. I'm going to have to think about that birth control technique (and have to check to see if I have the updated version of ACR). It makes sense.<br /><br />And glad Sarah seems to be happy with this new guy. At least he's showing her some attention.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07006019503835147657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-16394178744667716982010-06-02T16:15:11.549+10:002010-06-02T16:15:11.549+10:00DeMonde, so glad to hear you enjoyed it!
Well, Ad...<b>DeMonde</b>, so glad to hear you enjoyed it!<br /><br />Well, Adrienne and Nick don't know it yet but Nick isn't the father. I didn't hint at it in the story but I said that she'd tried for a baby with the townie in the notes. So Nick won't be around for this baby. If she chooses to raise it herself, she'll be doing it on her own. <br /><br />Virginia seems rather indifferent towards Matilda. When they were living at home together, Virginia would try to talk to her but she rarely makes the effort any more! Perhaps she's given up.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-34871679083105103182010-06-02T12:32:30.192+10:002010-06-02T12:32:30.192+10:00I can't wait to hear how Adrienne reacts to pa...I can't wait to hear how Adrienne reacts to parenthood, especially when Nick is only around to support the baby. Will she drop out of school to have he baby? Very goo suspense here.<br /><br />And there is really some hate going on between Matilda and the new stepmom. Wonder how Virginia feels about Matilda now that she has snagged daddy? LOL<br /><br />Love this storyline and cannot wait to hear more!Chocolate City Simhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12828048546633454492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-34672144054904936592010-06-02T07:11:04.106+10:002010-06-02T07:11:04.106+10:00Tanja, I just realised this dorm is actually where...<b>Tanja</b>, I just realised this dorm is actually where Adrienne's dad Owen lived when he was at uni. <br /><br />Matilda knows her dad would be hurt if she showed that she disliked Virginia so seeing her dad is the only family she has, she hides it. A new sibling is going to be weird for her because she's not likely to ever live at home again, so they'll probably not ever be as close as say Ethan and his brother (3 years apart) or even Sarah and her sister (5 years apart). Matilda will be 20 by the time this baby is born.<br /><br />Nick is a keeper, isn't he? I think it probably takes a lot to push him to be this angry but being pregnant to another man (potentially...Nick and Adrienne don't really know yet) is a fairly major thing. <br /><br />I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Sarah and Alasdair. She needs a healthy relationship with a guy who actually displays some interest in her. Glad you found her hair!<br /><br /><b>Mizzgin03</b>, I do have a little sympathy for Adrienne as well. She <i>is</i> only 18 and as selfish as she's been, she's paying for it. She doesn't get why Nick is as upset as he is though, which tends to temper my sympathy!<br /><br />Sarah's weirdness about Ethan was definitely affecting everyone else so hopefully this thing with Alasdair lasts a while. She's still rolling wants for Ethan but she's rolling equal amounts for Alasdair. And she doesn't actually act on the wants she has for Ethan, thank goodness. It would be such a slapfest in that dorm if she did!<br /><br /><b>Sari</b>, ha, <i>you</i> were shocked?! LOL, I don't know if I can describe what I was thinking when I saw she was trying for a baby and then when I heard those chimes! But an injection of drama is always welcome. <br /><br />Nick hasn't rolled any marriage or baby wants yet but I know it'd be in the back of his mind. I hope this is the end for him and girl drama. I have someone planned for him but I'm not sure when I'm going to let them hook up. They're both getting very impatient because they try to booty call each other all the time but story-wise, it's not a good time for them to be together right now. <br /><br />If you're going to use the BC idea, you might want to remember that the BC option used on a male will also prevent any female he woohoos with from getting pregnant, whether she's on birth control or not. So it's really only my couples who are both sloppy who'll be affected by this.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-12706295756571223542010-06-02T01:45:57.835+10:002010-06-02T01:45:57.835+10:00Wow!

But it's a good thing she hides it from her dad, it would really hur him I think, when his daughter and new wife don't get along. I understand that it's hard getting a younger sibling at 19, it's something you wish for when you're 6 of 7 but not when you're 19.<br />Oooh, Adrienne what are you doing? Nick is such a great guy, he reallt was one to keep!<br />It's a good thing Sarah followed up her own advice (the one she gave Susannah), and got rid of Marshall, he was no good for her. I hope she will be happy with Alasdair.<br /><br />Some time ago I asker where I could find Sarah's hair from when she was a teen, I eventually found it at the Sims Cave, thanks anyway!!Tanjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054869544598274885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-14962242489403867812010-06-01T14:25:37.307+10:002010-06-01T14:25:37.307+10:00Thanks for your comments, guys!
Tessa, I feel awf...Thanks for your comments, guys!<br /><br /><b>Tessa</b>, I feel awful for Nick too. I want Nick to live happily ever after with some nice girl but when it does finally happen for him, he's going to appreciate it all the more!<br /><br />And yeah, Adrienne definitely didn't consider how her actions would affect anyone else. Even herself, really. She's the one having a baby now with no idea what to do. Had she been faithful to Nick and got pregnant, there's no way he would have run off. He's a good guy but she's on her own with this now, whatever she decides to do.<br /><br />As for the oops babies, lately, yes! But Finn and Victoria's were as a result of the faulty birth control in the previous version of ACR. Before that, the last college babies I had were James and Naomi and they're now 50. I don't count Nick, because he was actually a high school oops baby!<br /><br /><b>LaurelCrossing</b>, hmmm, that wasn't how I was intending for Matilda to come across but it's always interesting to read another perspective. The way I look at it, we all think selfish or uncharitable thoughts about others on at least the odd occasion. Sometimes we act on them and hurt others in the process and sometimes we (wisely!) keep our thoughts to ourselves. Matilda is doing the latter. She's venting to Adrienne but they're best friends, so she'd be more open to talking about things with Adrienne than she might be with someone else. <br /><br />Matilda has never really been short - maybe it's just the angle in the pictures you're remembering that made her seem much shorter? Her adult height (which I always decide when they age to teen, so they can grow taller accordingly) is 0.98, which is roughly average for women in my game. For comparison, Adrienne is slightly above average at 1.0 and Sarah is short at 0.94.<br /><br />Adrienne is in a tough situation right now but it's definitely one of her making. Whether or not she can take anything away from this and learn a lesson remains to be seen. <br /><br /><b>Apple Valley</b>, I know, Adrienne didn't waste any time, did she? She might have got pregnant any sooner if she and Alasdair had any chemistry - he's so convenient, living right across the hall from her and all! But he seems to have eyes only for Sarah and has negative chemistry with Adrienne.<br /><br />It's so easy to feel bad for Nick - he's such a lovely Sim, inside and out. It will definitely be a good thing for Nick that the baby isn't his. He can cut ties with Adrienne completely with no guilt at all. For Adrienne, it might have been better if the baby <i>was</i> Nick's though. Her choices now are to raise the baby alone or give it up for adoption, both hard roads to follow. <br /><br />The BC is really Laura's idea (although I think her Sims need 7 neatness points), so all credit should go to her. :)Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-61001531175076161092010-06-01T12:46:40.774+10:002010-06-01T12:46:40.774+10:00Adrienne, you just got to freaking college and you...Adrienne, you just got to freaking college and you're knocked up already-good gracious. Yea, talk about the romance trait popping in BIG time. <br /><br />In a way I'm glad the baby isn't Nick's, that way he isn't tied with Adrienne and her drama. I feel for him though, after all, I have the biggest sim crush on him so to see him be mistreated makes me angry.<br /><br />I like your randomness with birth control and neatness score.Apple Valleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15211791410107503046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-50649139213468738952010-06-01T09:32:40.202+10:002010-06-01T09:32:40.202+10:00Two things regarding Matilda: She is my second fav...Two things regarding Matilda: She is my second favorite (after Susannah, of course ;)) but I'm quite surprised on how narcissistic (sp?) she was. She made the wedding about herself, her parents' pregnancy about herself and issues with Sarah about herself. I'm like, wth? That is soo not the Matilda I know and love.<br /><br />Another thing: I thought Matilda was short? When she was a teen, she was shorter than most, but as a YA is about average? Did she have a growth spurt or something?<br /><br />And I agree with Tessa regarding Adrienne. Personally, I've haven't been a fan of her, so I couldn't help but laugh when it was revealed that she was pregnant. (And Tessa, it happens like that in college more often than you think. My roommate got pregnant the first two weeks of college. She didn't keep it, and while I supported her, I made sure to let her know "Slow your roll! And invest in the pill!)LaurelCrossinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12234825401317518055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-28699329341499461132010-06-01T09:20:04.037+10:002010-06-01T09:20:04.037+10:00Whoa.
