Marisa Bendett moved into the Hoffman family, adding $16,000. to the family treasury! Marisa is a fortune sim, a Virgo, and is 4 neat, 7 outgoing, 8 active, 3 playful, and 3 nice. She seemed to get along well with both Barry and Angela.
This time we did it right, and Ashley was soon expecting her next child.
It didn’t take long for the ghost of Brandi to begin to haunt….and she wasn’t as nice to Marisa in the afterlife as she had been in this one!
While awaiting the birth of her child, Ashley found a fun way to keep herself…occupied…
….but, unfortunately, Marisa was not amused by it all.
Ashley gave birth to another girl…and named her Merlea Bendett.
After Merlea’s birth, Ashley asked Benjamin Long to move in. Benjamen moved in, adding $14,000. to the family treasury. Benjamen is a knowledge sim, a Sagittarius, and is 2 neat, 3 outgoing, 9 active, 7 playful, and 4 nice. It didn’t take long at all for Benjamin to fall deeply in love with Ashley.
Of course, Marisa was still useful….for a bit longer.
As a toddler, Merlea was much more demanding of Ashley’s time. I don’t think Ashley is pleased that she has been taken away from her new boy-toy.
Barry and Angela continued to grow, seemingly unaffected by the circumstances surrounding them.
Barry grew into a fine looking teenager. He is a knowledge sim, a Virgo, 9 neat, 2 outgoing, 4 active, 3 playful, and 7 nice. Little sister Angela doesn’t seem too excited about the birthday/transformation.
When Angela had her birthday, siblings Barry and Merlea were there to join in the celebration.
Brandi continued to haunt almost nightly, taking her vengeance out especially on Marisa.
You might even say that Brandi took out the ultimate vengeance on Marisa….by scaring her to death.
Though Ashley mourned the death of Marisa….life must go on…. and she still had her children…. But Ashley needed to take a few years off of her life. She certainly wasn’t ready to even think about getting older yet. But….whatever happened to Benjamin Long??
Well….it’s a long story….but…apparently the hack works the same way whether you have a male-to-male or a male-to-female couple, because I instinctly had Ashley use the ‘try for baby’ choice, thus resulting in Benjamin getting pregnant! Seems I didn’t learn the first time. But….pregnancy didn’t seem to agree with Benjamin, because he suddenly died (I’m really not sure why though). This threw a wrench into my plans, however, as Benjamin was never able to catch Ashley cheating on him before he died. He did manage to get Ashley pregnant though!
Ashley gave birth to a son, and she named him Benjamin after his dad. Benjamin Hoffman’s birth was celebrated by siblings Merlea (who is now a school-aged girl), and teens Angela and Barry. He’s cute….looks like he’s smiling!
With all the money that was added to the family treasury, Ashley was able to add a second floor to the house and do a few upgrades. There was still a lot to do, however.
Uh-Oh….looks like it’s time for Ashley to find her next partner….and quickly!!
