The first world is Lucky Palms, I love this desert world but haven't played in it a lot so now is my chance! Also, there are a lot of townies pregnant here, which should increase the chances of a townie spouse which is the kind I prefer.
I have added a few community lots. For example the Observatory from Oasis Landing as well as the Bot Arena and the Nuts and Bolt Emporium. I think the futuristic buildings look right at home in Lucky Palms. I also added the store venue casino that came with Lucky Palms as well as the consignment and alchemy shops that aren't auto-placed. I tried keeping down the amount of additional community lots to a minimum since more lots mean more to buy.

Emelie and Sylvester moved into That 70's Home on 645 Golf View Road. It has a bedroom and a small nursery, and the lot is a good size. After selling all the furniture the family funds were set to §4,000.
Three kind neighbors showed up, I think they may have been the neighborhood watch, and watch they did as Emelie and Sylvester spent their whole visit sucking face. I guess the transmogrification was a success because they have a very strong attraction to each other.
In fact Emelies new amarous nature inspired Sylvester to propose. She said yes, but since she seemed a little hesitant he's decided they should hold off on the real ceremony untill she wishes for it (everything for those big wishes, large tombstones and genie lamps). Sylvester himself naturally rolled a wish to marry as soon as they became romantic interests and a wish to marry Emelie as soon as she agreed to his proposal. Let's hope he doesn't have to wait too long.
Due to their limited funds all they have in their bedroom is the awesome showtime bed and a picture of their love, the heir was conceived the very first night at the house (could it be because they had no other entertainment at home?).
Talking about sparse furnishings, after investing in a toilet and a shower that wouldn't give them a bad moodlet, they had just enough for a table, chairs, sink and an OK fridge. They really need some funds - too bad that Emelie got a message that she won't be allowed to start her job for 6 days (an eternity on medium setting!).
Are you feeling lucky punk? Emelie and Sylvester hope they will be as they head to the casino for some extra cash. Playing the slots on the lowest setting to build gambling skill still allows them to walk away with around §2500 after a couple of hours. That is an easy and fun way to make money. We'll be back!
As Emelie does everything to relax and enjoy her pregnancy (please Watcher don't make me do this again - I want to have a career too) and spends their meager savings on expensive spa packages, Sylvester keeps up his work at the casino raking in about §2500 a night. He's now level 7 and will soon start playing for higher stakes.
Four days after the Borealis family moved to Lucky Palms Erik Borealis enters the world. He is athletic and a heavy sleeper. And the apple of his fathers eye.
Sylvester: I will give you many brothers and sisters my son, would you like that?
Erik: Geeegh
Sylvester: Of course my heir and carrier of my genes - your wish is my command...
With Erik's birth Emelie rolled the wish to marry Sylvester and so they did in a lovely private ceremony witnessed by their new sofa.
The next day, while Emelie was busy filling up the family coffers with yet another §1,000 jackpot...
...Sylvester welcomed their daughter Susan with open arms. Despite an unfortunate choice in hats, Susan was a beautiful girl that sported the light sleeper and friendly trait.
Once Susan was entertaining herself with the toybox Sylvester started thinking that Emelie might not be too happy about this latest family addition - or at least not happy about the him not asking her first part. So he decided to soften her up with some homemade dinner, courtesy of the newly purchased kitchen counters.
Dinner was delish, so even if Emelie was a bit annoyed with Sylvester she agreed to potty train Susan as a bonding exercise. She liked it so much that she decided she also wanted to be surrounded by family and switched her Lifetime wish then and there (mostly it was the lure of all those big potty training and teaching to talk wishes that convinced her).
Once Erik celebrated his birthday the family now has two toddlers crawling around the floor. Erik has Emelies brown eyes and are those the famous Steel lips?
