Meet the Neighbourhood - Ladons

Meet the Neighbourhood – Ladons
So here we are at the 3rd special chapter.  Just 1 chapter left before we start Generation 6!
In this chapter we take a look at the Gen 5 Ladon’s that didn’t make heir and those Ladons you voted to move to SimLau isles with the rest of the family. 
So on with the show!

Nathan & Sharona



Now elders you chose Nathan & Sharona to join us in SimLau Isles, they brought along their pet Bubbacat.
Dorian & Megan


We all saw Dorian & Megan settle down to married life and they have joined us in SimLau Isles with their son Leonard who looks just like his father!
Oscar, Lilly & Puzzle

Oscar and Lilly moved into the Magical Mixology house.
Puzzle (Oscar’s IF) is still living with them but has calmed down quite a bit since becoming real.
Oscar joined the Magician career and is already at level 9 (I couldn’t believe it!  He is such a natural!)
Instead of signing up for a career in the military Puzzle decided to become a Fireman
Lilly has the lifetime wish to become a master mixologist so likes to spend her time practicing her drink making skills, often roping in Oscar as taster!
Puzzle bumped into Peanut at the park, they spent hours catching up on old times.
Oscar finally proposed to Lilly!
And Puzzle and Peanut started dating.
But its not all work and romance.  There is always time for a little relaxation.
And fun.
Although Oscar thought Lilly’s idea of fun was stupid!
So headed off to do something he was good at.
It was soon time for Oscar and Lilly’s wedding.

They had a wonderful day
Oscar could now levitate – how cool?!?

It wasn’t long before Lilly announced she was pregnant.

They had twin girls Delores and JoAnna

Unfortunately the twins were a bit glitchy so they had to be aged up rather quickly
But here they are all toddlerfied!  This is Delores.

And this is JoAnne

Simon, Violet & Peanut
Simon and Violet live in the Arc house with Peanut (Simon’s old IF)
Since she started dating Puzzle, Peanut gave herself a little makeover.
Simon has a job as a chef
Peanut works at the local Pet Store
While Violet is quite the social butterfly!
Peanut has recently proposed to Puzzle however they have yet to be married and are still living separately.

Ebony

Ebony was the other Ladon voted to move to SimLau Isles.
She moved with her son Jereme
And his girlfriend Haley.

Unfortunately Ebony passed away during the making of the Meet the Neighbourhood series.  Our last special chapter will be a look back at the life of the late great Ebony Ladon.

Meet the Neighbourhood - Special Guests

Meet the Neighbourhood – Special Guests!
 Welcome to the 2nd of the pre Gen 6 chapters!!  
This chapter introduces our special guest townies of our new Ladon Land - SimLau Isles.  These were all created by friends who have kindly allowed me to use them in my game. 
As I said before I was hoping to get more of a background story for everyone but unfortunately everyone was aging and when I lost an important character to Mr Death (you will find out in the next chapter!!) I realised I needed to get the legacy rolling.  So you will find there is more info on some Sims than others.
Now I do hope I have the creator right on these :$ If not let me know and I will change the acknowledgment!
So on with the introductions!

Spencer and Milus live in this gorgeous little house

Although Spencer found Milus a bit intimidating at first (being an evil queen and all) they soon fell in love and were married
Spencer worked towards fulfilling his lifetime wish
While Milus attempted to keep her man fed and well looked after

However after the third washer incident they agreed to get a maid!
Which gave Milus more time for other activities!

For a while their life was full of nights out

and parties with celebs
Until Milus discovered that they were going to have a family
Spencer was overjoyed and ever attentive to his expecting wife
Time seemed to pass so fast, Milus was getting bigger and bigger!

 And then it arrived.  That night.  The night that Milus went into labour.

At first they were shocked, they hadn’t expected twins!
And Milus had a bit of an issue with the baby basket
Well maybe a few issues!!
 
But it didn’t take long for their hearts to melt

They had never felt such joy.
 
Now the twins have grown into toddlers.  Samantha is just like her mother.

While Alex has his father’s eyes and is already learning the VonStrunkle smoulder!
Andy & Heloise Jensen

Andy & Heloise live in a large farmhouse with views of the beautiful SimLau waterfall

Andy is working on building up his skills to achieve his lifetime wish
It doesn’t always go to plan!

Heloise joined the medical career and is working on improving her logic skill

But this little family would not be complete without my favourite member of the Jensen family – MONKEY!!!

While Andy works on his physique
Heloise and Monkey take a stroll round the town
However with all the exciting smells around for Monkey they haven’t even left the garden before Andy returns home.
While waiting for them to return Andy tries his hand at sculpting.
Heloise and Monkey finally return as night draws in.  Andy still has time for a game of tug-o-war with his best friend before heading out for a romantic evening with his wife.
Bored with his own company, and strangely drawn by his belly.  Monkey heads off to his favourite sugary sweet hangout.
After a very romantic date, Andy and Heloise head home and set about making their little family just that bit bigger.
Dee & Thermius Conjour

Script (as you can tell) by me – sorry Pylia!!
 
Thermius: So, what do you think?

 
Dee: I think you spent all of our savings on a shed!

Thermius: Frikin Frack Woman!  Just go take a look, I’m going digging!
Dee: Thermius Conjour you make me so mad!
Dee: Oh my!
Thermius: Stupid woman, can’t ever just trust me.
Dee: Oh, I love it!  And the kitchen!  It’s all so new!
Thermius: Oh now what!  Stupid drill!
Thermius: What’s this?  Maybe if I just lean in for a closer loooo….
Thermius: Dee!!  Help!!
Dee: Amazing!  The cooking channel in HD!
Thermius: Who’d have thought that one little hole could house an army of killer crabs, giant ants and a tribe of pygmy troglodytes!
Thermius: That’s it!  I’m filling this sucker in!
Thermius: Dee!  You wouldn’t believe what happened to me!
Dee: Oh Thermie I love it!
Thermius: What pygmy troglodytes?
Dee: No silly the house!
Thermius: Did you see the kitchen?
Dee: Oh yes!  Its magni…..
Thermius: Good good, you know where to find it then.  Adventure makes a man hungry!
Dee: Dinner!
Thermius: I thought you said it was ready? 
Dee: It will just be a minute
Thermius: Make up your mind woman!
Dee: Oh and I really do love the house Thermie.  It’s so big, plenty of room for lots of children!
Thermius: What?!



Cody & Linda Jane VonStrunkle

This is where Linda Jane lived alone until one day a young man named Cody VonStrunkle needed a place to stay.  Linda Jane took one look at the poor lost soul and invited him to stay.
Hmm I can’t think why? ;)
Here he is bathing Linda Jane’s dog Poppy.
And this is the lovely Linda Jane with her cat Foxie
Things started off okay between them, well maybe a little awkward
Cody often trying to lighten the mood
And failing
Over time however the two grew close
Becoming the best of friends
And more.
Linda Jane could not contain her excitement when Cody finally proposed.

As he slipped the ring onto her finger she felt complete.

Poppy was very excited about the engagement.  Honest.
Cody was in awe of his fiancée and loved to watch her as she went about her day
They married in the grounds of their house with Poppy and Foxie as witnesses
See I told you Poppy was excited!!
Vows spoken and rings exchanged they gazed into each other’s eyes

And looked forward to the life that lay ahead.

Right nearly there folks!  The 3rd Meet the Neighbourhood where you will get to see how the Ladons that didn’t make heir are doing is next!
