Willow Creek - A Sims 4 Soap Opera

Hey fellow simmers!

* This is a  long post, but eventful and worth reading *

It has been a LONG time since I have last blogged! For the last batch of posts  was only videos posted  via my youtube channel. Since youtube uploading, and my video recorder have not been behaving I have resorted back to something that  always works, my blog.

What I planned on starting was my own soap opera, called Willow Creek after the sims 4 town where the family my soap opera focuses on lives. I suppose I can still update it, because I have a plan to work on building up the families of the whole town and not just one or two families. That is my hope anyway! It really is a soap opera, and I mean it gets crazy. I am not responsible for all the things these sims do, only some of it!

A lot has happened the past two days in Willow Creek. So much so I am not even sure the best way to break down what has happened. ( I do not even want to know how long these posts are going to be once the working expansion pack is released and all the craziness that will accompany it).

~ Also, on a side note, I cannot get over how expensive the bills are in this game. For the house that I moved my family into (which consists of at least 3 working adults), it is a weekly payment of $7,225 simolians. OUCH! They only make half of that. Inflation is tough in these games.... ~

The Beginning
At the start of this game I made two families who are really rich, the Lovett's and the Kincaid's. I began with wanting them to have a feud, but only one of Lovett's hated all the Kincaid's, all the rest were impartial to each other, or even began to like each other. That plan went down the gutter real fast, but at least the feud existed for one of them.

The Kincaid family I have not played, so I do not remember much about them except that the mom of the family is Hope, and they have  a son named Colin. He ends up being good friends with Kyla, the daughter of the Hunter and Brielle Lovett.

The original Lovett household consisted of Hunter, who had a wife Brielle and a daughter Kyla. Living with them was his brother Harry.
(From Right to Left: Harry, Hunter, (his new wife Lorena), and Kyla is daughter)
So one thing lead to another and Brielle flirted with Harry in front of her husband, which obviously made Hunter extremely angry. Within one day of moving in Brielle and Hunter were divorced. Able to seduce Harry, Brielle ended up pregnant. She was extremely jealous when Harry began to date one of the Kincaid relative's, Hope's sister Lorena (pictured below). She was so jealous and upset that she cried herself to sleep, and even cried in her sleep. I am not joking I have video taken of it, and if I could upload it I would.

Despite Brielle's jealousy Harry and Lorena eloped and got married. Brielle extremely upset by the whole thing even though they never really dated, moved out of the house.

New Beginnings


Hunter ended up befriending a really nice girl who is also named Lorena, Lorena Keeling. Yes, it is confusing that both brothers have romantic involvements with Lorena's. The blonde Lorena is Hunter's and the red Lorena (pictured above) is Harry's.  Hunter ends up engaged quite quickly to his Lorena (the blonde one).

Harry's wife Lorena (the red hair one) ended up pregnant and was expecting their child at any moment.

Hunter and his wife Lorena (the blonde one) got married, and were quickly expecting their first child as well. Lorena is an excellent step-mom to Kyla, as she helps her with her homework and actually takes time to talk to her and care for her. Before that Kyla was ignored by her real mom Brielle, and her father worked a lot so she barely got time with him. Lorena also befriended the other Lorena, even though the rest of the household (including her husband) ignored her. Overall blonde Lorena is my favorite sim in this soap opera so far. Her and Hunter end up having a baby boy together.
Happy mommy :)

Harry "The Play-Boy" Lovett

Sadly, Harry gets his own section because the rest of the events mostly focus around him and his playboy attitude. Even though he is married, he ends up getting a girlfriend named Kaley Bliss (see below), who just moved to town. Kaley somehow moved into the home, and convinced Harry to divorce Lorena (red hair one). Following their divorce Lorena gave birth to Harry's first child, a daughter named Saire. 

Harry then eloped with Kaley, who was much happier since she was deeply upset over the fact she was not pregnant. So much so, that she goes up and is the first one to hold Saire. By that night however she will have no more reason to be upset as she does in fact end up pregnant.

The downfall of  divorce

Fight!

 Of course Harry is not completely loyal to Kaley either, as he could not help himself one day when a maid comes to clean the house he charms her into bed, and also gets her pregnant (she has yet to have the kids but I see her walking around town pregnant).
Harry cheating with the maid in front of his ex-wife and sister-in-law.
Kaley did end up catching Harry flirting with this maid, but did not do anything about it despite stomping around angrily all day. She did spend a lot of the day running around and yelling at poor unsuspecting people. By the end of the day she had forgiven him enough to sleep in the same bed with him, and even wanted to hug him. Harry dodged a bullet that day.

Meanwhile Kyla aged up for her birthday, and her very pregnant mother stopped by. Unlike red-haired Lorena, Brielle was still on fairly good terms with Harry, so she even hugged him when she stopped by.

I saved this photo under the title "what are you doing?" because Brielle was starting to go back
to Harry, which is dumb because he just left her with twins to raise by herself!

Eventually, Kaley caught Harry flirting with another woman named Pearl Colgate who just moved to town with her really old grumpy husband. Harry and her are boyfriend and girlfriend, although for a time they were "just friends". Kaley finally divorced Harry a day after their son was born, but at least she finally dumped him!  Harry, frustrated with his living situation, moved out into his own home.

Harry is now engaged again to a Faith, who he did not even kiss until they are dating (yes he is still the boyfriend of the maid, and Pearl but who is counting x cough x me x cough x.). This at first glance seems to be the one he could settle down with, but she really just wants a rich house. Since Harry no longer lives in a rich house, Faith went and found a rich bachelor and is now pregnant with his child. I suppose it is time Harry gets  a bit of his own medicine right?

Alright, this post is quite long so I will end here and start a new one to explain some of the other stuff that is happening, and the most recent update.
