2.0 Not a girl, not yet a woman


The choice had been made. Anna had thought about who was going to carry on her family for quite a long time, but she felt like she had made the right choice with Britney. Her second eldest daughter was a really good sim, which meant a lot to Anna, just like her passed on passion for music. Britney hadn’t played the guitar much, but when she did, it was clear that she was a virtuoso, just like her mother. 


Britney had always wanted to write down people’s stories, and to discover what was going on in the world. Anna admired that and decided to give her a good start into her life by making her the family’s heir. When Anna told Britney about her decision, Britney was beyond happy. She had never thought her mother would choose her; instead she had assumed that her older sister Birdy would be the one to carry on the family traditions. But it was her. She had won, and now the family was her responsibility. 


The first thing she initiated was a remodeling of the house. It was pretty, but it didn’t feature enough space for seven sims and a unicorn. With the money she had been handed immediately, she hired a building company and an interior decorator, who she spent hours with, discussing and planning. The result was a house that stunned all of them.


The backyard featured Anna’s little garden, as well as a space for Jo’s tombstone. She still wanted to make some alterations to this area, but that could easily be done, especially with Anna being so gifted in gardening. 


The first floor was still mostly unfurnished, because they had run out of money. Britney wanted to feature a home office and a room to party in, but that still had a little time. She had to finish school first, anyway.


The ground floor was completely furnished, even though the living room looked a little empty at times. Three bathrooms, a kitchen with an integrated dinette, a huge living room and four bedrooms for the seven of them seemed appropriate.


Britney spent most of the first night in the “new” house in the living room, enjoying the silence. Even though everybody had enough space now, they still spent most of the time together, and it was nice to be alone for once. She had to think. The burden her mother had put upon her suddenly hit her, and she was a little afraid of what was to come. She was now responsible for the family, although her parents were still around, of course. This was a huge challenge, but she was going to face it. The world was going to be hers.

Britney Vocis is a good virtuoso who loves to read. People describe her as charismatic, as well. 


Author's notes: we're officially in the middle of Gen 2! This was just a small introduction, the plot will start in the next post.
I will post the objections for the current generation in a minute, so that you know what is going to happen here. The great thing about DITFTs is that there are many choices as to the course of the story :)

  1. I was a bit afraid you were going to change your mind about Britney being the heir when some of the other girls turned out prettier. I can't wait to read Britney's story, and I hope we still have more to learn about Anna backstory.
