2. Welcome back to Leafe OWBC. It has been a long time so I
guess that short recapis in order. Here is our founder, Eleonore
Leafe with her groom Randy Coudercwho she met at the
college.Eleonore is Taurus (4/6/4/7/4), fortune/popularity sim with
LTW to become CityArchitect. Her pre-destined hobby is games.Randy
is Leo (4/10/4/4/3), popularity/knowledge sim with LTW to become
Celebritychef. His pre-destined hobby is music and dance. 3. It was
just a coincidence that Eleonore first heard of townies and Randy
also told that hewas one himself too. At the same time Eleonore
first heard of simselves and after that shehas been wanting to find
out more. Especially who is her simself and how can she
becontrolled like that, doesnt she have own free will at all? What
about if that simself madeher do terrible things? Does she have a
past at all like she thought she had? And wouldthere be a way to
help the townies as their life sounded so dull and boring? 4. Then
their family started growing and for many years Eleonore was too
busy to thinkabout simselves or townies. First to born was Bigga.
Strong-temperated taurus girl withcharacter 6/10/2/10/3. Lazy but
outgoing and playful but rather crouchy. Likes to teaseher siblings
and wishes to find a well paying and easy work so that she can hire
all kind ofservants. 5. Next one was girl as well, Olive. Very neat
and quite playful capricorn (10/9/2/8/3) whodoesnt particularly
want to use her time for cleaning but cant stand living in a dirty
house. 6. The third one was a boy, Opal. He is leo and his
character is quite close to his sisters(9/10/5/7/3). Finally
someone else is neat in this household so it isnt all down to
Olive. Hejust had his toddler birthday at the end of our last
chapter so there isnt much more to sayabout him just yet. 7. Then
Eleonore accidentally met one certain Jessica Peterson who turned
out to beanother playable. This meant that once again Eleonore was
thinking about playables,townies and simselves. And this is where
we continue the story... 8. With three kids in the house it is
almost always someones birthday. This time it was Biggas turn.
Asusually, the house was full of Eleonores college friends and of
course Bigga used the chance to getto talk to them as she was one
step closer to the college.Everything that she heard about college
life only made her looking more forward to it. Well, Avril triedto
explain that you also should study at the college if you wanted to
graduate but Bigga wasntworried, school had never been a problem
for her. Besides, she knew that getting a good, well-paying job she
would need to see that her grades were well enough. 9. If the
school only had been as easy for Olive too but it was quite common
that herhomework just piled up. If she too wanted to get to the
college, she would need to workharder. 10. Olive, wake up. Dad has
made pancakes.Olive was wondering if the pancakes were burned, it
wasnt usual for Bigga to be this kind. But since Bigga actuallywas
friendly Olive thought that she could talk with her something that
had been pressing her mind for a long time.Uhm... Bigga?Yeah?Dont
you think that our house is quite small and shabby? What if I
invite my friends to visit us and they see thefunny cleaning robot
and our small bedrooms and the way we have a kitchen in the living
room. What if they thinkthat we are poor? All of this she said at
one go, as if afraid that Bigga would interrupt her. Then she
continued, asan afterthought:Are we poor?She had been talking about
friends to Bigga but even more worried she was aabout meeting a
nice boy who sheinvited to their home, what would he think about
this small house? 11. Bigga thought about it while Olive got
dressed before answering.I think the house is too small and I think
that we could afford bigger one but I dont know why we cant have
newone. It would be cool to have bigger house with all kinds of fun
stuff in it.But I will be soon at the college anyway soI dont know
if it matters that much.But Im stuck here for years. How can I meet
my friends when their houses might be better and bigger? Olive
waslooking seriously worried about it.Well, you could do like I
have done, meet your friends at the park... I will ask mum why we
cant have biggerhouse.That was typical Bigga, if she wanted
something, she couldnt see why she couldnt get it. Even if it was a
housethat she wanted. 12. Bigga was right though, they werent quite
that poor. Randy was just one small step awayfrom being a celebrity
chef and just the next day Eleonore became the Head of the
SCIA.That wasnt what Eleonore really wanted to do but she thought
that in this position, if inany, she would finally find out
everything that happened in their world. And everythingmeant
simselves and all of their secrets. 13. It wasnt the lack of trying
but she just couldnt find anything. Only thing she could find was
adescription about simself but after that there was nothing. It was
like hitting her head in a solid wall,she didnt even have a clue
where to look since the SCIAs files didnt offer any more
clues.Eleonores brain was buzzing but she tried to continue her
life as usual, her kids needed her too.Especially when Randy was
busy with his own restaurant. Even though they both were very
busy,they tried to use their free time with their kids. After all,
Opal was just a toddler still. But not for long... 14. It was time
for Opal to grow up too. And just like his older sisters, he too
got a birthdayparty with the usual crowd. 15. Bigga already was a
student in private school and now that Opal was going to attend
school as well itwas good time to apply both him and Olive to
private school too. Bigga served the lobster her dadhad prepared
for them just for this occasion. 16. I have never had lobster like
this. Really delicious. The headmaster was clearly impressed by the
dinner.My husband made it, it is his speciality, Eleonore told
him.I have heard that he is running his own restaurant?Yes, he is
very busy with it, it has become very popular.I have some
connections to SimTV, my wife works there as producer. Do you think
that your husband would beinterested about own tv-show?Eleonore was
silent for a long time. Own tv-show?Well... she started hesitantly,
I have to ask him, we have never talked anything like that. But I
could take yourwives business card.Eleonore got the business card
and Opal and Olive both were accepted to the private school. 17.
The next day Bigga was having lunch with her mother as they were
eating the lobster leftovers fromt he previousday. For a while they
both ate silently, then Bigga started the conversation.Dont you
think that this house is a bit... well, smallish? Bigga started,
she didnt want to sound too pushy, I knowthat you have a very
important job and dont they pay well for important jobs and if dad
is going to have his ownshow, wont that mean that we would be able
to afford a bigger house? There, now it was said.Eleonore smiled,
this house has been our home for years and it is fairly
comfortable. But you are right, we havebeen thinking about buying a
new house.You have? Bigga was surprised how easy this had been.Yes,
but thinking about it and doing it are two completely different
things and I dont know if we will find one beforeyou go to the
college. You want to go to the college, right?Bigga told that she
was and the topic switched from houses to the college life. 18.
Eleonore had given the business card of the SimTVs producer to
Randy who had beentaken aback but pleased about the offer. He was
certainly going to contact her. Own tv-show was actually a nice
idea. As Randy was busy with the restaurant, Eleonore tried
herhands in cooking as well but no matter how hard she tried, she
only managed to makeburned lobsters.She knew that Randy had been
interested about robot making and Eleonore decided togive it a try
too. Maybe she could be better in that than her husband. 19. The
days went by as they do and it was time for Olive to become teen.
And finally Eleonore had news for her kids.She was tickling Olive
who was laughing and squirming.Please be quiet, I have an essay
here to finish, Bigga complained and continued, If we had bigger
house I couldmake my homework in peace.About that, Eleonore started
and stopped tickling Olive, we have actually found a new house that
looks verypromising.Both girls stopped at once and said in unison,
really? and Olive continued, can I have my birthday party there?Im
sorry but no, the house needs some finishing still, floors, walls
and kitchen are unfinished and your dad wantsthe kitchen to be
perfect, of course.Olive was disappointed that her teenage party
would be in the old house but it was still her best birthday
presentever. 20. In that evening Opal was talking to her
mother.Bigga and Olive said that we are going to move, is that
true? he asked.Yes, it is true. We will have first Olives birthday
and after that it is only couple of days and we will move. So
Iwould think that you should be packing, she added to Bigga.Cool,
said Opal, can I have own playfield there too?I think that can be
arranged, Eleonore told him, and you can invite as many friends as
you like to play with youthere.As Bigga had left the kitchen to
pack her stuff and Opal was calling to his friends to tell the news
Eleonore felt abang of guilt. She hadnt invited Jessica over as she
had promised. And there wouldnt be time in couple of dayswith the
moving but she made a mental note to invite her for a coffee as
soon as they had settled down to theirnew home. 21. Finally, Olive
thought, she was a teenager. Now she could go out alone to meet all
her friends and itwouldnt be too long time that she could go to
college too. As she was checking her outfit (whichneeded to change
of course), she felt impatient now that the college was already so
near but yet somany years still to wait. She imagined all the
parties that she would attend and all the boys shewould meet. Would
she find someone special at the college? She thought about greek
houses thather mothers college friends had told her about. They
would certainly have one and it would be a realparty center where
everyone would come. 22. The family was almost ready to move,
Eleonore was just cleaning up. She looked howOpal and Bigga were
tickling each other in the kitchen and thought all of the
memoriesthe house held. The kids had grown up there but it was time
to move on and they wouldalways have the photos to remember all
important moments in this house. And whoknows, maybe the new house
would see some grandchildren too. But now it was time tomove the
family. 23. And move they did. As the family was walking in to
explore the house, Opal was eager tocheck out his playfield. Just
for him!The house was on medium size lot with four bedrooms, two
bathrooms, kitchen, diningroom and two studies. Something they
could quite easily afford and also something thatoffered enough
space for them even with three generations living in the house. 24.
First one to walk in was Olive. She stopped to admire the living
room, so much spaceinstead of the old, small living room that was
combined kitchen-diner-livingroom.She was stunned by what she saw.
There was llama game, chess table and in the otherend of the living
room there was a comfortable looking couch set with big tv. Yes,
shedefinately could live here and wouldnt be ashamed to invite her
friends. She hurried tosee more of the house. 25. Yes, definately
nice house to live in. 26. She took a quick glancy to two studies
and smiled happily. They had everything! Therewas robot making
bench, easel, bike and laptop. 27. Then there was the room that she
had been probably the most eager to see, their ownbedroom. She had
to share with Bigga but that wasnt a big of a problem, at least
theyhad got to choose all the wall and floor materials, furnitures
and decorations. She wasvery happy with the result. 28. At the door
to Opals room she grimaced. Opal had also been allowed to
chooseeverything himself and you could see that. Definately not a
room that she would havewanted but it was Opals room, he had the
right to choose what he wanted. 29. For the bedroom of her parents
she smiled approvingly. Yes, her mother knew how todecorate. 30.
The kitchen looked modern and it seemed to have everything they
needed, includingdishwasher, finally! From the kitchen there was a
doorway to the dining room and fromthere doorway back to the living
room. She smiled happily, it was all better than she hadeven hoped.
31. And on top of everything, even the bathrooms looked nice. The
family would live happilyhere for many years to come. 32. The
family was quickly feeling at home in the new house. The work
continued for the adults and theschool for the kids. Eleonore had
been disappointed that even as the head of SCIA she couldnt findany
information about simselves. And if in that position with all the
resources she couldnt findanything more she probably should give
up.She wouldnt give up completely but the work didnt offer her
anything more. She had had a dreamabout becoming a city architect
but she was getting older, no denying that. And if she ever wanted
toreach that dream, she should start looking for a possible job as
soon as possible, maybe it wasnt toolate yet. The first search
wasnt very promising, the town only seemed to want dancers, cops,
doctorsand sports stars. But she didnt lose hope, she would search
as long as was needed. 33. Olive still struggled with her school.
She really tried but it just wasnt that easy for her. Ifshe wanted
to have any fun at the college she would need some diplomas. A call
to thecollege and she realised that she could also get other
diplomas. The college would giveher a small grant due to her
artistic skills. But nevertheless she decided to try and get
hergrades up, more money wouldnt hurt. 34. Yet it usually was Olive
who cleaned the house, cooked and took away the trash.
ActuallyOlive was the only one who actually volunteered to cook. It
seemed that Randy didenough cooking at the work and didnt bother at
home with it. He, like rest of the family,usually just took some
snacks from the fridge or just stuffed their face with anything
theycould find in it. 35. Both of the girls also started seeing
boys. Nothing too serious for either of them just yetthough. Olive
saw the boys she met more as good friends who it was nice to spend
timewith. She wanted to find the right one before committing
herself to anything. Biggahowever had other things in her mind but
she thought that the boys in their school were abit childish and
even though she wanted to go for a real date, she hadnt met anyone
whoshe would have liked to go to date with. However childish they
might have been, she wasvery pleased about the admirers she had
around her. 36. Opal got a bird he had been wanting for a long
time. Finally they had enough space to fitthe cage in. The parrot
was called Leaf by Opal and as Bigga put it you couldnt havegiven
any more childish name, absolutely no imagination. But Opal didnt
care, the birdwas just great. Now he was just waiting that he could
start training the bird with all kindsof things. And it quickly
became obvious that the rest of the family was fond of the bird,
nomatter what they thought about the name or if they had been
against the whole idea in thebeginning. 37. Olive and Opal were
probably the closest of the kids. It wasnt uncommon to see themhang
out together. They were more similar than with Bigga. And after all
Bigga was theoldest and always considered the other two much
younger than she was and thus boringand nuisance. 38. But the two
girls were teens now and had at least something in common. For
examplethey both wanted to get handheld games and mobile phones and
while looking for those,they noticed that they actually had good
time together. And finally, first time Biggaconsidered Olive
something like a friend. 39. Then, finally Eleonore called and
asked Jessica to come and see their new house.Im so sorry I havent
called you earlier, we have been busy with the kids and moving
andeverything, Eleonore said, hoping that Jessica really wouldnt
mind. But she didnt needto worry.Jessica smiled, I know you have
been busy, Im just happy that Im here now.Eleonore and Jessica had
met that one time on the street and talked couple times overthe
phone but having a talk face-to-face was something completely
different. Eleonore atleast had many things to ask from Jessica
that she couldnt have asked over the phone. 40. So..., Eleonore
started hesitantly, there is so much I would like to ask you and I
dont even know where tobegin.Jessica looked at her, somewhat
troubled it is this playable-townie thing you want to discuss I
guess.Jessica knew something about Eleonores obsession about
simselves and she continued:why dont you just drop it? There is
nothing you can do for it.But we dont know what our simself is
like...Well, no we dont but in any case how could we know what is
happening? How would knowing it help anything?Yeah, but then we
could at least tell them to leave us alone... or something.Jessica
looked at her, we wouldnt exist without the simselves, she sighed
and started to explain. 41. About the simselves... They have
created us, they have created this world, there wouldnt be us
without them. Or theremight be some of us, like the townies but
their life just would be still, nothing would happen in their
world, Jessicaexplained.Now that we are talking here, there most
certainly is someone who hast decided to play us and as to how we
know willhappen, we wont, Im just glad that something is happening.
And if you ever met a simself, you probably couldnt changeanything,
they do like they wish, filling our wishes as much as they feel
like and ignoring them as much as they like.So they are kind of
gods?, Eleonore asked.Well, something like it, for better of a
word, Jessica replied.But your life isnt, and hasnt been, that
pleasant, Eleonore said, is it because the simself made it so?No, I
dont think so. We have free will and anything that has happened in
my life, I can only blame myself. 42. Townies and some playables,
like me, my ex-husband and her adopted daughter exist in different
universes at thesame time and they sometimes have some knowledge
about other universes. I for example have some images in myhead
about these other universes and I bet Randy has too. For example in
some places I have been married toArmand again, can you imagine?,
Jessica laughed.Eleonore looked puzzled and Jessica continued the
other universes are similar places to this one at the
beginning.There is someone looking and acting like me and Randy,
for example, but depending on the other circumstances theyhave very
different lives. The townies also might be called something
different. My images arent anytthing solid but itis enough to make
me know that these places exist. I also know that we can be shipped
to these other universes, ithas been done and then one sim exists
in two worlds.How do I know that I dont exist in two worlds?
Eleonore wondered.If you did, you would have some kind of memory
about that, Jessica said simply. 43. Dont you ever wonder about...
this all?, Eleonore asked.Actually, no. It wouldnt help anything,
Jessica told her.Eleonore was going to say something but Jessica
interrupted, Listen, there is nothing you can do for it, why
botheryourself with it, just live your life?You keep saying
that...Because thats the only way, replied Jessica and at that
moment Eleonore couldnt think any counter argument. 44. After that
the women chatted about everything else, their work, hobbies,
Eleonores kids and so on.Then it was time for Jessica to go
home.Just try and relax, she said to Eleonore while hugging her for
goodbye, and enjoy your family while you still have it.Thanks for
the advice, I will do that. You are welcome to visit here any time
you want.I will keep that in mind. You are also welcome to visit me
but you know... living in a trailer with just asmall table and two
chairs...I understand, just come here more often. 45. That evening
Eleonore fell asleep her brain buzzing. She was afraid that she
wouldnt fallasleep at all but she did pretty fast. It was very
restless sleep. She kept turning over andover. 46. Suddenly
Eleonore found herself in front of an unfamiliar house, playing
with an unfamiliardog. It was creepy, the house was standing there
alone, the only thing she could see wasgrass and trees. Something
told her that she should get out of here but for some reasonshe
wasnt afraid, instead she walked inside. 47. There was somebody
already inside.I thought we would feel cozier with the fireplace.
Come on in and take a seat.The woman hadnt even glanzed her way and
yet she seemed to be expecting her,knowing full well who she was.
Eleonore couldnt help herself, she stepped inside. 48. I thought
that we needed to have a talk. I made some breakfast. Come and have
some.Eleonore still hadnt said anything and she still didnt know
who the woman was and yetshe had been expecting her. This was
bizarre. 49. Who are you?, Eleonore asked bluntly as soon as she
had sat down.Im your simself, the woman replied in a friendly
tone.No, you are not, you cant be.The simself smiled, why couldnt
I?You are... you are not..., Eleonore wasnt quite sure what to say
but the simself seemed to guess.I look just like anybody else here,
thats what you are wondering, right?Yes... you dont look anything
like a god. 50. Does somebody know what the god looks like? the
simself asked.If someone might, you might.Simself grinned, Im not a
god, not even close, Im just a girl having fun with my
game.Eleonore frowned, this is just some kind of a game for you? We
are inside a game, none of this is real?Yes, you are inside a game
but it is very real to you, it is real to me too.But then you can
do anything you want to us.That seems to be the problem with you,
isnt it? From the day you found out that there was a simself, you
have been worried aboutthat. Im not going to lie to you, I could do
anything I want. How about killing you and then resurrecting back
to see your great-great-great-grandkids as a zombie?Eleonore looked
at the simself serious, you are joking.Most certainly not. It can
be done, simself grinned again and Eleonore wondered what was so
funny. 51. Then the simself actually laughed.You are making fun of
me, Eleonore said grumbily.No, Im not. My poor Eleonore, you are
just so serious about this.But it is my life, of course Im worried
and serious.Simself sighed, you shouldnt be. You can have my word
that I wont on purpose do anything bad for you oranyone in your
family. Anyone who tries to hurt you, or your family will get what
they deserve. But you have nothingto worry about. And why dont you?
the simself asked before Eleonore did and continued, because you
are mycreation, my sims and I want you to live happy life instead
of miserable one. I want you to continue the bloodlineand how would
that work if I killed you or someone else in the family? Please eat
your sandwich, these are prettytasty. 52. How would I know what you
want? Eleonore asked, not quite convinced, she didnt know what
tothink about this simself. She was being friendly but she was
making jokes she didnt quiteunderstand and seemed to have fun with
her. Yet she had answers for all of the questions she had.You dont
need to, the simself said simply. There it was again, the
weirdness, Eleonore thought.This all seemed to be pretty straight
forward for the simself. And she found herself doing just like
shehad told her and took a bite of her sandwich. Yes, it was tasty.
Of course it was. 53. Any other questions?Plenty, Eleonore muttered
and more clearly continued, so thats what you want, isnt it, to
continue my bloodline as youput it? Randy thinks that Im here for
some sort of a challenge.The simself thought about this for a
moment and replied hesitantly, yes, I would like to see your family
grow, I would liketo see, hmm... lets see two more generations,
counting you as one and your kids as second.And then what will
happen?I havent planned that far just yet, maybe someone from the
fourth generation will build completely new city or save onefrom
apocalypse. I havent quite decided yet.Building new city,
apocalypses... Why? 54. Why, the simself repeated, thats a very
good question. Eleonore realised by the look on simselfsface that
she wouldnt get any clearer answer. Anyway, there were more
pressing matters.So we are part of a challenge? The simself nodded
and Eleonore continued, what it is you wantme to do?What is it that
you want to do? simself asked instead.Eleonore was silent for
couple of minutes, I want to become City Planner, cant you help me
there?Simself laughed, sorry no, I cant cheat. 55. Cheat? Eleonore
couldnt think more of that and continued.Well... I was thinking
about making it a tradition that someone from our family would
always live in the house, theywould write their memoirs so that we
would be remembered, everyone who lived in the house would have
theirpictures hanging on the walls of it. They should enjoy their
hobbies and I think that Randy is trying to build a servorobot,
that should also stay in the house. I have also thought about
having a family business that would run overdecades and I also have
thought it would make nice family tradition to have party once
every season. Just so thatthe friends and the family would be
together every now and then.Simself smiles mysteriously, sounds
good to me.Eleonore stared her, is this what I want or have you
made it so?I dont tell you what to do, maybe nudge here and there
to push you to right direction but the rest is your own will.Maybe
when there is a dirty toilet and no one is going to clean it I
might make somebody clean it. 56. Cheats? Cleaning toilets?
Eleonore wasnt sure what to think of this simself. Was she joking?
Shehad so many questions but as the simself stood up, she somehow
realised that there was no time toask them all so she asked
simply:Is this real or just a dream?Why would it be any less real
if it was a dream? 57. With that she woke up. She squeezed Randy,
he was real at least. She was feeling dizzy, had itbeen just a
dream? Or was it something else? Part of her thought it was just a
dream but how couldher brain have created something like that? And
there was also the fact that she usually didntremember her dreams.
Why was this so vivid then? If the simself was something like a
god, then shemost certainly could come to her dreams.Either way,
she knew what she was going to do, she just needed some time to
sort her thoughts. Noway she was going to tell anyone about her
dream, though, it was too bizarre. Then she thought withregret all
of the un-asked questions that she hadnt remember at the time.
Would she get a secondchance? 58. Eleonore found out that painting
was good way to sort her thoughts. And it was just nice extra
thatthe portrait of her and Randy turned out to be, well definately
not perfect, but good anyway. She alsostarted her memoirs. The
first part was easy. She simply described how the college life had
been,how it had been when the kids were small. But how to include
simself and townies into the story?Luckily she didnt have to finish
the story over night. 59. She was also proud of her kids. Opal was
going to be teen soon and she had given him promise tobuy new
clothes for himself for that day. Olive finally got A+ and Bigga
took a job in business and, ofcourse, soon was executive assistant,
a real good place for a teen.They were all different but all of
them were also smart in their own ways, all of them had
differentwants and goals they wanted to reach in their lives. One
thing was certain though, she knew thatthese kids would do just
fine in the future even without her and Randy around. 60. Finally
she decided that family dinner would be the right place to tell the
kids about... it. She askedRandy to cook something delicious and
the whole family joined around the table.I have something to tell
you, she started but wasnt at all sure how to continue. She glanzed
atRandy but he seemed to be focusin on eating, he already knew what
she had to say.I think that you are three the most wonderful kids I
could ever have, she had to blink couple timesbefore she could
continue, damn it, she wasnt going to cry! Us, me and your dad are
very proud ofyou all. And even though you are quite young still, it
is time to tell you something I think you need toknow.The whole
family was quiet, some were eating, some were staring at her. 61.
Eleonore took a deep breath and started. She didnt know how much
the kids knew so she would justexplain everything.I dont know if
you already know this from school or from your friends but we are
sims that are calledplayables. I have understood that it only means
that there is a simself somewhere guiding our livesand also that we
can have families, have careers where we can climb up, in short our
lives go on until we die and there will, hopefully, always be
children who continue our family tree.Then there are townies, for
example your dad was one of them until I married him and he
becameplayable. Townies have some kind of half life, they have
careers too but they dont have familieseven though they have
friends. Their lives just stay still, nothing changes until they
are married ormoved in with playables. 62. Did you hear that? Opal
looked at Olive, we can rule them all!We are the richest and most
popular sims here, Bigga said with a grin.I wonder if it is
easier... nevermind, Olive said. She was thinking if this would
effect on finding ahusband and having a family. But her mother had
done it so the townies probably didnt mind beingmarried to
playable. 63. Yes, we can be cool, we can be rich but definately we
arent the richest sims. Some townies haveplenty of money actually.
And we definately wont rule them all. Even though our position
asplayables gives us some rights, we also have many
responsibilities. We have a freedom to chooseand we have to use
that freedom for the townies sake, too. We are the ones who can
make thingschange. She had to keep a break to form what she was
going to say next and took a bite of theturkey.I think that it is
our duty to rescue as many townies as we can. I hope that all of
you will marry in atownie, if you dont want to get married, at
least move in someone as your roommate, girlfriend orboyfriend.
There are so many great sims around who dont get the chance and I
think we should givethem that. 64. We cant choose anyone we want?
Thats not fair, Bigga was almost shouting, besides how do weknow
who is a townie and who is not? There are some on my class, Opal
said suddenly, they are those who we cant visit at all. Rest ofthe
family turned to look at Opal who just shrugged, they called me
playable once. But I didntunderstand what it meant. 65. It was
Randys turn to continue, if you look closely you can see how the
townies look slightlydifferent, the clothes they are wearing are
more simple than ours for example. It is also like Opal justsaid,
we cant visit them even though we can call them and invite them
here. I was one once so Ishould know. And then you can just simply
ask, they will know. Anyway, as far as I know there arentthat many
playables in this neighbourhood but of course we never know what
will happen. 66. But why there are different sims? Olive asked
turning to her mother.Eleonore sighed, I wished I knew that. It
seems that the simselves cant control all of us so some ofare
townies who just exist to be our friends, husbands and
wives.But..., Olive was trying to form her thoughts, this just
didnt make any sense, why there are someplayables then? Who else is
playable?Eleonore sighed even more deeply, if I ever get the
chance, I will ask. I have absolutely no idea whythere are
different sims. What comes to other playable sims, Jessica is one
of them. And as Biggasaid that we are rich, Jessica isnt even she
is playable so you never can tell for sure. 67. Anyway, I have
couple other wishes to make. If we forget this simself, playable
and townie thing fora while and discuss something else I have in my
mind, Eleonore swallowed, you know how Im notin contact with my
family. And now that I know how sims can be created out of nothing,
Im not evensure if my family exists, Eleonore had to blink again to
keep the tears away, she had become soemotional lately, I would
like to know that our family at least continues. I wish that one of
you willmove back to this house and then one of his or her kids
will move here and so on.Then Eleonore explained everything else
she had told to the simself in her dream. 68. These ideas got very
different replies.How do we know who has to come back to write
memoirs and everything? Bigga asked.If I cant move back here, how
can I afford to build new, beautiful house to invite my friends
andhave kids?, Olive sulked.Can I keep my old room if I come back
here? wondered Opal. 69. Randy looked at the kids, we discussed
this, your mother and me, and thought that it would be bestif you
decided that together. The ones who move out will get small grant
from us, so you dont haveto start in very small houses. Just choose
wisely, the one who will move back here is sort ofresbonsible for
the whole family and also has to continue the family name. And then
there are ofcourse all those tasks your mother explained, it wont
be that easy but I think it will be rewarding too.The kids just
nodded, there was simply too much to think to reply anything. After
all, there was thewhole college to decide that. The family ate rest
of the food in a silence, something that wasnt toocommon in this
family. 70. Then it happened. Eleonore found a job in architecture
and soon arrived home smiling to herself.She had been promoted to
city architect. She had so many ideas to improve the city. 71. It
wasnt that long that it was Randys big day too. He had received a
call from theheadmasters wife and had discuss the new cooking
program with her. Yes, he wasnervous, no denying of that. But he
couldnt deny that he was happy man. The show hadbeen accepted, he
was going to have own show in tv and every cooking sim in
theneighbourhood would soon know him as the celebrity chef. He too
smiled while lookingout of the window. What else could you expect
from life? 72. She was right, they have very nice house, Kiera was
saying to Andrezj and Kevin Spitzig.They have done pretty well in
their life I think, Andrezj said, city architect and celebrity chef
withthree beautiful kids, who would have believed that.Kevin looked
slightly sulky, yes, you are right. He remembered how he had
fancied Eleonore backat the college but she had chosen Randy
instead. He had gotten over it but with a bang he nowrealised that
all of this could have been this.Eleonore had been avoiding to
invite Kevin to the house, no matter how good friends they were
butthere was always the risk of some flirting from both of them and
she just didnt want to risk themarriage with Randy for something
that stupid. Now she thought that enough time had passed for itto
be safe. 73. Old romances were put on the background, it was time
to party! The youngest of Eleonores kids wasgoing to be teen in a
matter of minutes. She was going enjoy every moment. 74. The guests
enjoyed themselves and Eleonore was admired by Andrezj. Something
that she thoughtharmless but also something that lightened her day.
She was going to be elder soon and Andrezjwas young adult and still
he seemed to think that she was as beautiful as back at the
college. Younever got enough admiration for it to bore you. Even
though you still were admired and adored byyour own husband. 75.
And the birthday hero? He aged up well, naturally and ate too much
cake. 76. All the problems aside, there were three teens in the
house. There was a party withdelicious cake and good music. It was
time to party, too soon they would head to thecollege. Even though
they most likely would keep in touch, these were the last days
theywould be living in this house together. 77. Some statsBigga
