Edgar Chapter 3 - Love?

Love was in the air and the only person willing to consciously take advantage of it was Richard. He courted a beautiful girl named Alyssa and they married right out of high school.

Shantell wasn't looking for love, but rather lust. She took her time and made Edgar completely swoon over her. This was very much unlike Edgar to want someone as much as he wanted her...especially because she was a woman. Shantell's plan fell right into place.

And in no time she was pregnant with Edgar's child. What wasn't planned were her feelings for Edgar. She planned to go back to the future with his child but she couldn't get herself to go.

Edgar was not thrilled about being a dad. It completely through him for a loop.

But once his son Percy was born Edgar found a few reasons to be happy. No one questioned it when Percy ended up being evil...but the one thing Edgar didn't expect was Shantell. He found he loved her very much and asked her to marry him.

Shantell agreed. Before the wedding she confessed her evil plans to Edgar. She was going to get pregnate by him and that take the child to the future where his decendents are rich and powerful and demand payment. When they did genetic tests there would be no denying which family Percy belonged to and Shantell would be rich. Edgar applauded her for her genius.

And they married in their backyard surrounded by family and friends. Something neither of them expected to want.

Even Percy had a great time.

The family of three moved into a private island mansion.

It was a small island but Shantell loved taking Percy to the beach to play in the water. Shantell and Edgar were happy with their family for now...but would it last?

 They both popped the wish to marry each other after Percy was born so I happily agreed. With a family of evil genius' though...I don't think the happiness will last long.

Edgar Chapter 2 - Stalker

Edgar had a diabolical plot to get back at his step father. It was cruel and malicious...perfect!

Edgar was irresistible and a master seducer so he played on his Brandy's greiving and kissed him...promising that everything would be ok and that Edgar had turned a new leaf. Inside Edgar was cackling.

Unknown to Edgar there was a plot to deceive him in the making as well. When a strange machine popped up in his yard he couldn't help but investigate.

And two sims jumped out of the portal. The blue haired man was nice letting the family know everything was going to be ok and that this machine was just a time portal. However once getting to know Edgar he decided that it wasn't a good idea to tell him how to use the portal. The other woman who came through had a completely different agenda.

She introduced herself  as Shantell while Edgar was in college. He wasn't all that impressed but she was sneaky following Edgar around the campus without letting on that she was spying on him.

And Edgar met some interesting people. A zombie faerie? Nobody would believe him at home!

He also made his rounds with his classmates. He especially like the weird ones. Werewolves, vampires, witches, wizards, ...

and faeries.

After Edgar's first semester he came home to a very angry step father.Apparently Shantell had been taking pictures of Edgar's conquests and sending them anonymously to Brandy.  Not that Edgar cared. He was just fine with his step father being hurt.

For Edgar's second semester he took his brother Russell along. There wasn't as much partying as the first time and Edgar calmed down a bit. Shantell used the knowledge she gained while spying on Edgar to weasel her way into Edgar's life. He even let her move in with them in their private home. Edgar ended the semester with an A in business. Russell would have to come back for another semester to graduate and get a degree in communications.

Shantell spouted some nonsense about not having a family and needing a place to stay after they graduated. Uncharacteristically of Edgar he invited her back to his house to live with his family. There she put her plan in action seducing Edgar with her smart, evil ways. What was she up to? Why did she come from the future and what does she want with Edgar? Only time would tell.

So the game randomly made Shantell part of my family when Edgar went to college the first time. Instead of kicking her out I decided to make her part of the story as a woman from the future on a mission. She is both evil and a genus so they get along very well when they're not arguing. Can't wait to see where this goes!

Edgar Chapter 1 - Mean Streak

As a baby and toddler Edgar seemed normal. He loved his parents and they loved him. But when he became old enough they told him...Brandy was not his biological father. Edgar didn't take it well. He wanted to know who his father was and why he didn't come around. His mother didn't have an answer so Edgar assumed it was because of Brandy. His anger started small. He'd set traps for Brandy and mix concoctions that would make Brandy wet himself.

It got worse when he became a teenager. He got into a lot of trouble all around town and started failing school. Cassandra and Brandy didn't know what to do with him.

He argued with Brandy about everything. "You're not my dad," was something he said often. Brandy once asked him, "How did someone so angry come from a mother who is so sweet and loving?" Edgar's reply was to call Brandy's mom a llama.

Cassandra tried to reason with him but when she consoled Edgar and asked him to talk to her all she got was anger. She stopped asking after that and her relationship with her son wasn't hurt as much as it could have been. She didn't agree but she understood what Edgar must have been feeling.

When Edgar tried to beat Brandy up and failed Brandy had enough. He decided a vacation was needed and he took Cassandra out leaving Edgar to take care of his two little brothers. Brandy thought maybe that would teach Edgar some responsibility.

But instead Edgar through a teen party inviting all his classmates. While the cops were never called they did end up breaking every appliance that could be broken that night.

And his brothers were left to take care of themselves. Russel did as much as he could for his little brother Richard. They grew very close that weekend.

And Edgar found his first romance. His name was Dallas. They attended prom together and were virtually inseparable during Edgar's teen years. His attacks against Brandy stopped, he went to school again so his grades improved.

But then Cassandra died. Edgar was heartbroken and experiencing emotions he didn't know he had. He went out and bought himself a motorcycle for no reason.

He couldn't stay at home where his family were comforting each other. He couldn't be a part of that.

And finally his emotions boiled over leading to a confrontation with Brandy. Edgar felt so much better after the fight that he decided to stop caring completely. Without his mother's guidance he became a truly evil sim.

Heir Choice

I'm struggling to choose which of Cassandra's boys will be the heir. The two oldest are in the running.

This is (not the best picture of) Edgar. His traits are genius, irresistible, athletic, and hot headed. When he turns into an adult he will also get evil. When he goes to university I'll probably pick up charismatic as well. His lifetime wish is to be the emperor of evil. At first he was my snap pick because...well...look how much fun he can be! But then I found out he's gay...which makes getting an heir more difficult. He might end up being bi-sexual which would work out...

This is Russel. He's genius, brave, social butterfly, and virtuoso. As an adult he'll get...something I haven't decided yet but probably charismatic. His lifetime wish is to be a star anchor. He would play out much like any other sim which is the reason to choose him. Also he's Brandy's son instead of Scot's.

Both are interesting choices and I will probably play both for quite some time. I just need to decide which one the story will center around. I think Edgar's story will be more interesting but I really do like Russel. It's tough. Which would you rather read about?

Oh and I'm changing the way I'm picking traits. At first I was using genius as a family trait but after two generations I'm already bored of it. So now I'm picking two traits; one from the mother and one from the father. The others will be random. (except for the extra university traits. I still pick those). This will make my sims more dynamic, interesting and organic. I will start with this generation's children. That is all.

...That is not all...the game is glitching on me and I may have to move towns. I'm of two minds about this. On the one side I haven't been playing them very long so it won't mess up the family tree too much but on the other...my town is alive and they have friends and boyfriends and stuff. Well if I have to I have to.

Cassandra Chapter 7 - A Life Unfulfilled

As Cassandra grew older she tried to finish her lifetime wish of being a chess master but apparently she wasn't good enough. She never retired from her job but she didn't get to master that either. The only bright spot in her life were her boys. She led a roller coaster life with many ups and downs and in the end she was left unfulfilled.

She died at 93 with her family surrounding her. She begged the grim reaper not to take her. She wanted to watch her boys grow up into adults and have children of their own. But it wasn't meant to be and the reaper took her leaving Brandy to care for her family.

Cassandra Chapter 6 - Finding Happiness

Scot didn't want anything to do with Edgar. He decided that hiring a butler was the right way to go and Cassandra agreed that getting help was a good idea. They both thought hiring a female butler was safer than for their relationship so they picked Brandy. What they didn't know was that Brandy was a good looking MAN.

Once she got over the suprise of a guy named Brandy they got along very well. They had a lot in common; especially when in came to family. It wasn't long before Cassandra and Brandy fell in love.

Cassandra agonized over her relationship with the butler. What was she going to do about Scot? Finally she made a decision. During the middle of Scot's workday she texted him, "We just aren't meant to be. I know you feel the same way. I think it's best if we end it here before we hurt each other more." She pressed send and immediately a weight lifted off her shoulders. She was free.

Scot didn't feel the same. He got off work and looked at his text to find that his fiance dumped him. Not the best feeling ever. He never made it home; even to say goodbye to his son.

Cassandra didn't mind leaving Scot. She wasted no time proposing to Brandy who eagerly agreed. They started planning their wedding for the very next day.

It didn't go well. Cassandra invited all her friends...and before vows one of them died. If that wasn't bad enough after that Brandy couldn't be found. He had skipped the wedding leaving Cassandra at the alter.

It was the worst day ever. After everyone left she picked up Edgar, both of them crying, and whispered, "We'll make it. We have each other."

The doorbell rang. Cassandra answered it to find Brandy. He pleaded for her to forgive him; confessing his love and his stage fright. Cassandra forgave him and they had a private wedding right then and there. Brandy gave up being a butler and became a fireman.

Brandy was great with Edgar. He treated him like he was his own son.

And Edgar was very much loved by his mother. What Edgar didn't know was that he was going to share that love with two brothers.

Their first child's name was Russel.

And their second Richard.

Cassandra felt good about her life. She made a difference catching bad guys at work and found true love. They created an amazing family together. What more could she ask for?

Wow, Cassandra's life was full of drama. And it's not done yet!
