The Outcome of Change

My new Everyday Outfit.

I decided it would be good to keep my hair pulled up in a
different style to keep it out of the way, but keeping it
fashionable. I also added dark red to my hair,
hoping it will transfer to some future Jones babies.
I thought it would be good to change my point of view;
I replaced my Loner trait with Party Animal, since
I would encounter way more people here in Bridgeport
than I ever would in Sunset Valley. I would also have more
opportunities to leave the house here in Bridgeport
to make money for my family.

New Formal Wear.

I pulled my hair back into a large, loose braid,
a suggestion made by Jackie after she saw it in a
magazine.

New Sleep Wear

Athletic Wear.

And Swim Suit. I pulled my hair back into the familiar clip
from home, I figured I might be spending a few
hours in the water than I normally did since
Bridgeport developed the best Hot Tubs ever seen in
the Sims Community.
Sage kept his classic Aviator glasses and changed his
clothes and hair. He added the new Jones red into his
hair to honor his family.
Sarah made the most dramatic change of us all,
donating the majority of her long red and black hair
to Locks of Love. She settled for a short, spiky, cropped
hairstyle that framed her super-model face.
Jackie refused to cut her hair any shorter, but changed
out her blue highlights and tips to red. She matched her
clothes accordingly, kept her navel piercing, and bought
matching bracelets for her and Sarah to wear
as a tribute to their friendship.
The bracelets were black and red pearls laced on
silver wire, suiting the two girls personalities
equally.

My sweet little Seana refused to let us change her out of
her pink dress, but we could convince her to let
her shiny blond hair out of her usual clip.
I remembered when her and her brothers were
born, and how I was so excited to have my
first blond babies, as well as my first
set of multi-gendered triplets.
Kale was eager to ditch his overalls and settle for
a white tee shirt and blue jeans. His hair wasn't
as golden as his sister's, but he was still very
blond, not a trace of my black hair anywhere
on his head.
Riley on the other hand, was as stubborn as Seana
when it came to changing his clothes. He refused to
change out of his white overalls and yellow shirt, so we
kept them on for him. As the boys got older, it was getting
easier to tell them apart both in personality and
looks. Riley had very dark brown in his hair, unlike his
brother, and was more interested in blocks
than in the xylophone, opposite of his brother.
I thought that having 4 toddlers would be easier to have
on the 6 hour drive to Bridgeport, than having a new
born baby, so Apple was aged up. She had a unique
hair color, a mix between my black hair and her father's
blond hair. She had her father's silver-blue eyes
as well as his skin tone, and she was a very beautiful
little toddler.
"Only 30 more minutes until we reach your new house,"
the taxi driver announced to us as we passed a sign that
announced our arrival at Bridgeport.
"Bridgeport City Limit, Welcome
to the City of Mystery!"
"Oh, Mom!" Jackie squealed while reading the sign,
"Do you think they're talking about the Vampire Cult
here in Bridgeport?!" Her eyes lit up in a dreamy
sort of way.
"It very well might be, Jacqueline!" I laughed lightly.
Vampires were nothing to be surprised about here in Bridgeport,
but I would have to get used to the idea that they could be a threat to
my children now that they have gone public with their Cult.
I suspected they had whatever way they got their nutrients
was under control, and that I was grateful for.
We turned a corner around a hill and I couldn't keep
my eyes off of the new house. Jackie giggled with
excitement, Sarah and Sage both gasped at the same time,
and the 4 toddlers "Ohh'd" and "Ahh'd" at the sight
of the completely amazing house.
It's light green walls and tri-colored stonework were
colors I would have never picked in a place like
Sunset Valley, where the houses were all based on
a very neutral, earthy, and warm
color pallet. Our new house, however, was one of a kind.
It looked a little small from the front, I hoped it would
be suitable for my 100 Baby Challenge...
But as I looked to the right, my doubts seemed
to float out lightly into the atmosphere. The new
play yard was completely kid-friendly. The new
Animals Abound playground looked absolutely
adorable and there were plenty of accommodations
for children of all ages.
Our old trampoline sat in the back corner
of the yard and out old fire pit and chairs was set up in the middle
of the yard.
There was a sprinkler for those hot summer days and a
large sandbox filled with toddler toys so the little ones wouldn't
have to be cooped up all day.
"We replanted a garden for you too, Kira, since you
told me that was the main way you made
money for your family." Susie Thompson, my
Real Estate guru, told me on the tour around the lot.
Susie handled everything in the purchasing
and development of my house, from the interior
to the exterior decorating and landscaping.
She was a genius when it came to Sims and
their houses and she knew everything from A to Z about
how to make a Sim feel comfortable in a new place.
The fountain in the entry way.

First floor: There is an office/workout
room and a small bedroom,

A Laundry Room,

and a three car garage with windows into the pool.

Second Floor: My bedroom with a balcony,

and my bathroom,

the kitchen and the dining room,

the nursery,

and a hot tub and infinity pool. We were all so excited to experience
these new things!
The third floor has our family room with a small area for
a Jones family band. There are 2 bathrooms, 4 bedrooms,
and a play and learning room for the toddlers and children
to improve their skills.
Our beautiful new house tucked into the hills of Bridgeport,
with a forest of trees surrounding it. It was quite serene and
I enjoyed every second on yet another Beautiful Vista.
We had a gorgeous view of the city that we could enjoy in our pool
or out the windows at the back of the house and enough
space to be in privacy.
