Lot tour: Rob and Patience's place

Here is the exterior. I downloaded the house from MTS. It was intended for another family (can't even remember who now!) at first but when I checked it out in game, it seemed a bit fancy for them. I thought of Rob and Patience right away though, so I moved them in.

Ashton 1

Rob and Patience first met on campus at Suffolk University. Rob was keen immediately but Patience didn't get on board until both ended up at Cape Elizabeth University, on an exchange trip.

After a few years living with roommates post graduation, Rob and Patience moved into an apartment together. Soon after they became engaged, marrying in 2031. During their marriage, they have shared some tough times, including losing their first child through miscarriage and a lengthy period of unemployment for Rob.

These days, Rob has a successful career in law, while Patience is a highly-regarded actress. They have three children, Felicity, Patrick and Gemma.
