Lot tour: The Bentons' new place

Yet another lot tour for you today! I've been in a real decorating mood lately. I did Chris and Veronica's house pretty quickly, I picked away a little at my long-neglected primary school, I'm working on a share house for Brendan, Caitlin, Georgina and Annabel and I now have this house ready for the Bentons!

The house is Park Hill, which I grabbed from MTS. I actually downloaded a couple of new houses, intending them for this family but when I put them in game, they didn't feel right. They were large and had enough rooms but they didn't feel like an upgrade on their old place. This one has been sitting in my hood for who knows how long but I think it really suits the Bentons.

I will probably change that roof colour. It looked good with the original white windows but now that I have the darker wood Torrox windows, it doesn't look quite right any more.

Benton 1

Audrey and Jack began as friends in primary school and along with Jack's brother Charlie, they were inseparable through much of their childhood.

As they became teenagers, Jack developed a huge crush on Audrey but unfortunately for him, so did Charlie and it was Charlie who Audrey ended up dating. It was a very short-lived relationship but hard for Jack nonetheless.

They both continued to date other people until their senior year of college, when Audrey and Jack had both broken up with their significant others. It was only then that they finally got together.

Audrey and Jack dated for six years before buying a house together and then getting engaged in 2039. They married the following year and they now have two daughters Zoe (born in 2042) and Mia (born in 2046).

In 2043, Jack's parents, Tate and Zelda moved in. Tate and Zelda were married in 1999 and immediately began trying to start a family. Unfortunately, they struggled with infertility but finally welcomed daughter Josie in 2002. When they decided to expand their family further, they were struck by infertility again. After trying to conceive for ten years, Tate and Zelda gave up and decided to adopt instead. By the time Jack joined the family, Zelda had unexpectedly become pregnant with Charlie, who came along six months later.

Tate made his fortune in the many years he worked in graphic design. The family's wealth enabled Zelda to quit her job in game design and work full-time at home as a novelist. Being free from financial concerns also let Tate follow his passion and open up his own restaurant, where he still works as the head chef and manager. The restaurant will be passed onto Jack when Tate is ready to retire.
