Khan-Doe Family Empire (updated 4/01/2016) Completed

[KRae]

@PeregrineTook , I'm using the military call letters. Perhaps we'll have a boy named Juliet or a girl named Oscar.

@Magpie2012 , I was also a big fan of Dollhouse. Sometimes shows live past their time (Supernatural, in my opinion), but I wasn't ready for Dollhouse to go.

[Magpie2012]

@KRae amen to that! I loved Supernatural when it first came out and religiously watched the first 5 seasons. Then came season 6 and I got this SSDD vibe, like they were taking plot lines and just slightly revamping them enough that people would think they were new!

I hope Echo will live up to their namesake once they are with us!

Alpha became a lovely young adult with the traits Loves the Outdoors, Heavy Sleeper, Excitable, Green Thumb, and Irresistible. There are four things each young adult must do besides finding a partner and producing two children. They need to achieve a lifetime wish, supermax a skill, max a career, and purchase a property related, preferably, to their career.
Alpha completed her ltw as soon as she promised it. She already had planted a Perfect Garden. She was at level 8 in the gardening skill, jumped to level 7 in the gardening career when the red berry stash was sold, and purchased the grocery store, renaming it Alpha’s Green Grocer. Whew! The rest could be completed while raising a family.


The first man she was attracted to was Jared Frio, but he was really mean to her. We do not stand for that.


So she finally met flirty, old Gobias Koffi. They got along just fine, and he moved in.


The romantic proposal.


Followed by the successful try for baby.


The trifecta was completed by the private library wedding. Alpha had completed her career that morning, and read for a couple of hours to complete her supermax. Better run home, guys, that baby could make an appearance any moment.


Bravo wasn’t just playing in the sprinkler all this time. Her final traits are Heavy Sleeper, Brave, Friendly, Irresistible, and Handy. She completed her Swimming in Cash ltw two days later. Everything else she actually completed faster than Alpha.


Between her handiness skill work and Flip’s liquid job boosters, she maxed her firefighter career after 2 shifts and a weekend of skilling.


Bravo met Christopher Steel at work, and they really hit it off. As a firefighter, he was always busy when she called. She stalked and found him first at the gym.


She later tracked him to his home. They were married with the groom in his cow print jammies. I thought about having these two have the first grandkids, but Christopher is much easier to live with than Gobias especially when he quit his firefighter job and took up the fishing career.


Flip was mainly responsible for Bravo's career going so smoothly. Not only did he produce those liquid job boosters, he also ice blasted everything in sight and gave Bravo plenty to repair. She completed her handiness supermax in no time.


I was a little puzzled as to what building or property Bravo should purchase. There’s nothing buyable associated with firefighting or handiness. When she was a level ten firefighter and working from home, she was called to the criminal warehouse to help when one of their nefarious schemes went awry. When they tried the very same scheme the very next day and she had to rescue them again, it was obvious what building she should purchase. The criminal warehouse became Bravo’s Fixers.


Bravo was given the Key to Sunset Valley by a thankful community.


Now hurry up, Alpha and Gobias. We need two nooboos…Now!

[PeregrineTook]

Hope that Ilsa's lovely genes continue to shine through on the future generation.  Oh, and Flip.  He's nice too.
Congrats on the success of Alpha and Bravo!

[KRae]

Thanks, @PeregrineTook . I hope so too. I'm having a little trouble getting the preview on the next chapter so come up, but I'll keep trying.

[KRae]

Alpha soon went into labor with the support of her loving husband.


This is Abel, a Loner who Loves the Outdoors. Good luck with that loner thing in this little house.


Abel was a very easy toddler for a day and a half while he learned his skills.


Welcome to childhood, Abel, and enjoy being a Night Owl. Everyone goes to bed early around here, maybe you’ll finally get to be alone.


Or maybe not.


There’s only one thing (in a fireproof household) that synchronized panic can mean.


Welcome to the world, little Ace. His traits are Virtuoso and Slob.


Meanwhile, Bravo finally got to put out a fire. She saved a Goth and a Landgraab.


Along with a Bunch and a Frio. She received a well- deserved award. What were those four doing in the same house in the middle of the afternoon?


Flip and Bravo are fairly accomplished witches. Gobias, also a witch, and Alpha rarely practice their magic at all. Probably just as well.


I sent Flip on a quick trip to China. We had a very relaxing, one sim to deal with, time. Flip didn’t do much…a little shopping…


Swam in the decorative pool…


And picked some fruit for Isla.
It was all very exciting.


We were soon back to the reality of an eight sim household, and Ace’s toddler birthday.


He became a child the next day, adding the trait Evil.


Before long, it was Abel’s turn. His traits are now Loner, Loves the Outdoors, Night Owl, and Over-Emotional. He got a job at the Mausoleum.


Just a few days later, Ace had his birthday. His traits are Virtuoso, Slob, Evil, and Avant Garde. The cemetery job seemed appropriate for him too.
Abel: I never get to be alone!


Gobias sneaked home from work one day, yes, these are his current career clothes, only to discover that he, Alpha, and the boys were moving.


The first child and her family finally move out to this slight expanded little house, and peace descending over the Doe homestead.

[PeregrineTook]

Can't believe Flip ran off to China without Isla!!  She'd better get some vacation time of her own just to make things equal.
Congrats on the quick success of Alpha and her family.  Beta's going to be hard-pressed to match that success!

[mpart]

Ooh this looks like a fun challenge. I'm not sure I would have the patience though. Love this story. 

[Malley]

Yay! More Flipboos! Glad to see two awesome families combined in a new attempt, KRae 

[KRae]

@PeregrineTook, It felt like it took forever for Alpha to leave, well, for Gobias to leave. He was always flirting with whatever woman was closest. He spent a lot of time at work and the library, oh and I made him tend the garden. Idle hands, etc.

@mpart , It is fun, but takes a lot of planning.

@Malley, Thanks, I'm loving Flip and Isla together, too.


Honestly, how long did you expect the Khan-Doe house to remain peaceful?
Chimes were soon ringing out from Bravo and Christopher’s bedroom.


Bravo truly does love her husband, so when she cast a spell on him and he ended up with an “eminent nemesis” moodlet, I’m sure she was just trying to cast a love charm. Anyway, the next person he spoke to would become his nemesis and he was heading straight toward his beloved, pregnant wife. Fortunately I managed to stop him and made him call Gobias. They don’t like each other much anyway. Crisis averted. Pregnant women can forsake their witchitude, by the way.


Flip, I wasn’t planning on doing this so soon, but I need you to go to the local nectary and buy some nectar making machines.
Okay, now magically upgrade them.
Don’t tell Flip, but as soon as he attempts a love charm, he’ll also become a normal sim.


Bravo told Christopher that they were expecting a nooboo. His reaction wasn’t the typical one. Of course, this happens many times a day.


Christopher has been an amazing asset to the family. He completed his Perfect Aquarium LTW, and stored enough other perfect fish for a future generation.
Why is VJ Alvi doing his homework in the cemetery after midnight?


Do not maintain your fire engine when you’re due to go into labor. Bravo had twins and the first ended up waving her little arms from under a tire. Christopher rescued her and all was well.


Here she is, our little Benni, with no tread marks at all. Her traits are Good and Hates the Outdoors.


Her little twin, Bitsy, looks especially like her daddy. Her traits are Absent-Minded and Loves the Outdoors.


These two will be children in record time.


Isla: I want to have another child.
Okay.

[PeregrineTook]

Yes, Isla!  Pass on those glorious genes some more!!
Benni's a cutie, but Bitsy is a whole different level of adorable.  I think it's the pseudo-smile and ornery eyebrows combination.

[KRae]

@PeregrineTook , Isla agrees. Bring on the nooboos!

The girls became children. Benni added the useful trait Shy.


Bitsi added the equally useful Frugal.


No, Isla, no! Don’t go into labor by the fire truck. It’s not safe!


A visiting Mortimer Goth did not let the mere birth of a child interrupt his homework. It feels odd that children will not grow up without my assistance.


Child number four was born without incident. Look at that skin color.

Presenting Charlie Khan-Doe, an Easily Impressed Heavy Sleeper.


Flip: I so excited, no one ever lets me do this!
Charlie: I’m impressed.


Charlie worked hard and got to celebrate his birthday while his nieces were still children.


The adults worked hard while the kids were at school.


The girls made the honor roll and had their birthday. Benni’s traits are Good, Hates the Outdoors, Shy, and Vegetarian. She and Bitsi will both take jobs at the cemetery because of how the days off fall.


Bitsi’s traits are Absent-Minded, Loves the Outdoors, Frugal, and Good. It seems a shame that she’ll never get to grow up all the way.


So here’s a hint as to what Charlie’s life will be centered around. He burned nothing.
I’m not influencing gender at all, so I decided that the four rabbit-hole jobs I’ll be using will go to the first four boys born. Birthing babies is just too hard on a sims career.


Hey, guys! There’s still a slot open in the house.


And….we’re full up again.


This is Delta. His traits are Heavy Sleeper and Virtuoso. It’s a good thing he’s cute as he may be around quite a while. He’s going to have to supermax guitar.

[PeregrineTook]

There's something about Benni that strikes me as sad and makes me want to comfort and protect her, but Bitsi has this joy that makes me just want to enjoy her mere existence.
Charlie's also rather lovely.  Unless lovely is the wrong term for a boy.  Loving the skin tone/hair and eye color combo.  Of course, Delta is almost his mini-me, so yeah.
Can't wait to see what adventures await these newest heirs!

[KRae]

@PeregrineTook , I feel a bit protective of Benni too. I think it's the shy/hates the outdoors combo. She has that shy moodlet when she's at school. She's friends with everyone at home, but they're always outside. The sweet thing is that she would still rather be where they are.

Delta: So, is that a pond, a lake, or a swamp?
Flip: Isla, we need you in here!


Meanwhile, Charlie made the honor roll and stepped up to a birthday cake ASAP.
He’s now a Natural Cook. Big surprise there.


Late that evening due to or in spite of Flip's efforts, it was Delta’s turn. He’s now Ambitious.


The next day he really wanted to go to the community pool…to do this apparently.


Benni and Bitsy completed their teen requirements, and their little family moved back into Christopher’s old house. I added beds for the girls and a better shower. They will actually be missed.


Charlie started working on his cooking. He decided to participate in a community grilling competition.


This was his only competition.




Delta stayed busy, but was careful to remain completely unskilled, unless you count being cute as a skill of course.


Tomorrow both boys should make the honor roll. Since Charlie got a promotion as a spa specialist over the weekend, there will be birthday cake for dinner tomorrow.

[PeregrineTook]

Wow, you're really making progress in a hurry!
Can't wait to see how the boys grow up, who they marry, and how glorious those Isla genes are in the next generation (oh, and Flip's genes are okay too, I guess).
