I think I'm getting this HTML thing figured out again, holy cow had I learned a lot. Some's coming back automatically, but most I'm having to look up, and some is just WTF?? :D Funny thing is, I find this easier than figuring out the website builder whatsit.
So, this is the Bunny photo album. I'm not sure if those old pages will work right, but once you open the first image, maximize the popup window and it'll be easier to read. Oh, and the thing with the limo was from the House Party expansion, when you had a "successful" party (a certain amount of sims on the lot and everyone in a good enough mood), Drew Carey would show up.
The main families were the Barnes, the Pidgeons, the Handsomes, the Dickens, the Bakers, and the Bunnys.
- Jeffrey and Greg Barnes were the first sims I made, when I learned you could actually have GAY sims. Sims weren't automatically connected in any way at first (that was added with Sims 2), they were always just acquaintances and you had to increase their relationships, so that was when I also learned how to get two sims to become friends then fall in love so they'd sleep in the same bed. Greg's head surgeon at the children's hospital, I don't remember what Jeffrey did, I think he had the Business career track and to me he ran a health food store or something.
- Hank and Ricky Pidgeon lived across the street on one side, Hank was a retired pitcher for the SimCity Llamas and coached Little League, Ricky was a high school science teacher. They adopted Patrick and Rosanna.
- Down the street were Kevin and Stace Handsome, Kevin was an astronaut and Stace was in the Medical career, I think I considered him a dentist. They were the first to adopt a child, Jonathan, who became best friends with Patrick Pidgeon.
- Across the other street from Greg and Jeffrey were Stephanie and Tripp Dickens. She was one of the first sims I made when I got the Hot Date expansion, which included a lot of new interactions and the very first community neighborhood, Downtown. She was a writer, no relation to Charles, and one of the few female sims I paid much attention to. Tripp was the Townie she married, and he's a firefighter.
- Up the street the other direction was Senator Tom Baker and his wife Julie, the actress known as Julia Gallo. Tom and Jeffrey had been good friends since college, and they and Julie were characters I imported from a (crappy) murder mystery I wrote when I worked at A&W. They've developed into entirely different characters now, so if I ever get back to that mystery I'll make new characters. Originally they lived in a small house, then moved next door to a larger house when they could afford it.
- Across the street from the Bakers was a junky little house where Rudy Bunny lived. He met Francis downtown, then later invited Frankie to move in with him, and introduced him to all the neighbors. Rudy and Julie were really good friends, and after Rudy died, Julie and Frankie became just as close. (Rudy was my first sim death, he was electrocuted while changing a light bulb and I was too shocked to exit the house without saving so he stayed dead; that was also the beginning of staying up extra late at night, because I had to be sure Frankie would be okay.) He grieved a while, then started dating again while improving himself and getting the house fixed up, then met and married Luke Phoenix, and later adopted Thad, whom I considered the son of Frankie's late long-lost sister. Frankie's story inspired another novel that I've mostly outlined but haven't written much on. In fact, it's mostly little blurbs like this.
The framing photos were a sim of myself, my cat Theodore, one of the default sims, Elden Hicks, and a custom pet I made, a blue skunk named Sasha. It's all definitely hokey ;)
