Sim Gnome

Spotlight – Andrews October 11, 2013

Sunset Valley is the original Neighborhood which came with the Sims 3.  I spotlight some of the familes in the EA neighborhoods in case you might have missed out on them or just wanted to learn more about the neighbors.

Victoria & Beau Andrews

Let’s meet the Andrews family of Sunset Valley, shall we?  Very interesting couple they are indeed!  First let’s talk about Victoria, she’s working in the journalism career (3) and dreams of making the big time as a Star News Anchor.  She’s a bookworm, good, hopeless romantic, artistic and ambitious.  The hopeless romantic trait quite certainly explains why she ended up with Beau as a husband.  He’s really a diamond in the rough but I think Victoria enjoys a good challenge.

Beau is Victoria’s unemployed husband.  He’s known for his good sense of humor yet he’s also a slob, couch potato, can’t stand art and is inappropriate.  His Lifetime Wish is to be a Gold Digger which does explain his relationship with his wife from his point of view, doesn’t it?

Together the Andrews have a 1 bedroom 1 & 1/2 bath home in a not too shabby part of Sunset Valley.  The second floor could be easily added on to should you want to add more space to this home.  The yard is quite small yet still room for a patio and perhaps a small garden.  They live right next door to the Clavell’s which are an interesting family for yet another post.

The Andrews Home

Now you are probably wondering what ideas an opinionated gnome has for the Andrews?  Weeell……I noticed there is no tv in the house, could it be Victoria sold it in an attempt to get Beau to do something other than park himself on the sofa?  That could explain his feeble attempt at fishing as something to do while the wife is at work?  If you choose to replace the tv then good luck getting Beau off the couch again.

You could help push Beau to at least get a part time job or something to occupy his time.  He would make a good house husband with some prodding, don’t you think?  He’s not bad with children or animals.  More time gardening, fishing or maybe some cooking classes would be useful.  You could move some of the living space upstairs and Beau could run a Daycare downstairs during the day?  He could learn to write or invent, painting is out of the question though.  Some skill with a musical instrument and perhaps he could play for tips in the local park when he feels like it? Quite a few options for Beau while Victoria climbs the ladder in journalism.
