Pic of the day:

Sims 2 Micropolis: Ashby family

Welcome to 4 Gravel Road! I am your friendly neighborhood guardian angel. My task is to make this a happy, prosperous neighborhood by helping you all live up to your highest potential. This, incidentally, includes not kicking over the neighbors' trash cans.

Mari: Well, it's a trashy neighborhood.

Hannah: Hey come on. We're stuck with it, let's make the best out of it and make some friends.

Hermione: If only there was a way to make money.

Jenna: Da-da?

Mari: Well, that too. I'm too young to be stuck alone with a small child. I need a real family.

You won't get that by kicking over the trash cans of all the bachelors and widowers.

Mari: What's with the trash cans? We just arrived, I haven't even had time to look at their trash cans.

Well, don't. If you look at their trash cans, you have already kicked them in your heart.

Mari: A fine angel you are.

Hi Al, Hannah. You two seem to have a lot in common.

Hannah: Yes, we even like the same books!

Al: It's a shame we haven't met before, even though we are neighbors.

Well, neither of you go out much.

Al: Well, I have the kids...

Your father isn't dead yet.

I was starting to suspect it would go that way.

Hannah: Well, he is kind of cute once you get over the slack-jawed expression.

Al: I am cunningly disguising my intellect!

You don't happen to be a cunning linguist as well?

Hermione: THIS IS YOUR WAKEUP CALL!



Hannah: LOLOLOLLOL!

OK, I am starting to see the family traditions for making friends and influencing people...

Jenna: Yes! I am officially a child! And I have a non-standard hairdo!

Hannah: Huh, she survived!

Hermione: Who woulda thunk it?

Mari: *quiet pride*

I guess you really are a family sim.

Mari: Kiss it, angel dude. This is our day.

Hannah and Al are finally going out! You two look pretty sweet singing together.

Al: Thanks.

Hannah: Na na na...

Al: (Mac & cheese is less expensive...)

Al! I can see your thoughts! This is your future together we are talking about!

Al: Since when can you see our thoughts?

Since you moved to this neighborhood.

Hannah & Al: Oops.

I can also read your memories at will.

Hannah & Al: *blanch*

Enjoy your date! MUAHAHAHA

Hey Al, where did you steal that one? Because I know no one in this neighborhood can afford a plasma TV yet, certainly not you!

Al: *runs away*

Second date, and we are upgrading the happy couple from "crush" to "true love". Let the hot hot loving commence!

Hannah: Are you going to take pictures of the hot hot loving too?

Only if it is inadvertedly comical.

Finally engaged! Hermione will be so happy!

Hannah: What's my mother got to do with it?

She has wanted this since you moved here. Actually I told her to lock that want because it would happen in the future.

Al: Your time traveling abilities keep confusing me.

Actually that was not time traveling, that was pure optimism on my part.

Look who's downtown tonight of all nights! Superman's pal, Jimmy Ramsey!

Jimmy: What? I was just feeling lonely.

Maintaining the family values, I see. Not quite the same without a strategically placed victim.

Hannah: Practice shot!

And for the weekend, a family party for the Ashby and Craft families! A pretty good turn of events, eh?

Arman: I can't wait for the new grandchildren!

Jenna: *shock* What? Aunt Hannah is...?

Not yet, Jenna.

Roger: Dad! You and your big mouth!

Grant: >< (Soon I will be in college, far away from this craziness. Soon, soon...)

Look who has come over for Sunday dinner!

Jenna: Doggie!

Actually that's a wolfie.

Kim the wolf: Is there a little red riding hood here?

You seem to have mellowed out quite a bit over this week, Mari.

Mari: What? I have always liked children.

Yeah, but you have made friends and acquired valuable skills. Next week I think we should look for a good husband for you too.

Mari: Took you long enough!

Well, the guys here tend to either be elders, romance sims, or both.

Mari: I hate romance sims! They just want one thing, and then they flitter to the next flower!

I have an idea, and my good friend Marcus Sharpe will help me.

Mari: A bit young for me, isn't he?

I'll send him to college. He is a knowledge sim after all, and technically old enough. This should spawn a lot of students and professors. Hopefully one of those will meet with your approval.

I guess it is time to say goodnight for this time. I still have one family left to visit.

Hermione: Good night.
