Valley Cousins:  Generation 4  Households

Prologue


Welcome to the spin-off Valley Venture series, Valley Cousins which was created when my main game got over populated and caused serious lagging issues.  Decided to move the 'adopted' cousins (although game only recognizes the first cousin relation) of my generation 3 families into their own game to have their own lives.  While the two games are related, Valley Cousins stands on it's own with each household having their own goals and accomplishments.  Both Valley Ventures and Valley Cousins are played in an ongoing manner while helping household members achieve at least one aspiration and/or reach the tops of their careers.  There are no real generation divisions as at least three of them overlap at any given time.  Long life span is used with auto-age on for townies and only active households.  From time-to-time, aging is turned off for awhile if an aspiration is taking a long time to do for the main Valley Ventures descendant household heads.  Now let's meet the households as they are now.

Here are some photos of the family's home, 'Valley Canvas'.  The home was recently remodeled and decorated for Clay.

Clay and Patricia were adopted as children just starting school and raised by their loving father and 'Painter Extraordinaire', Lloyd Tedford in Windenburg.  After Lloyd met and married the love of his life, Masami Okada, he decided to leave the family home to Clay who had adopted a son of his own, Clark and was dating a lovely girl at the time by the name of Gabrielle Choukri. Lloyd and his wife moved to the city so that Masami could pursue her dream of becoming a 'City Native' where they soon had their first child together, Jerome whom you will meet later.

Dr Gabrielle Tedford

Shortly after his father moved to the city, Clay married his soulmate, Gabrielle and they are now parents to a lovely little girl, Kiana.  While looking to become a 'Jungle Explorer', Clay juggles his time between taking care of his family, working for the local government towards becoming the National Leader which is only one promotion away and taking trips to the jungle.   Meanwhile, Patricia works as a gardener while becoming a 'Serial Romancer' and Clark wants to be a Whiz Kid before his high school years begin.

Gabrielle was adopted and raised by her loving parents, Khaled & Hannah Choukri who were among the Valley Cousins founders.   While pursuing her lifetime dream of becoming a 'Nerd Brain', Gabrielle works as a doctor at the local health center healing what ails her fellow Sims.
