The Naturos Family

Not much is known about the generally reclusive Naturos family, not even the correct pronunciation of their family name.  What is known is that they are of Greek ancestry, they are all brothers and sisters (4 of each) with the same parents, and that they all have some strange, unusual talents that defy rational explanation.  Then again, since Old Town is connected to Magic Town, the citizens are used to not having rational explanations for a lot of things.

Nychtos Naturos, the oldest brother and the oldest child, has an unusual fondness for black.  With black hair and predominantly black clothing, it's easy to think him somber and serious.  However, despite his color preferences, he has been making it big as a Rock Star...it seems the babes (and some buds) dig his pseudo-Goth civilian persona, even if his music doesn't quite match the image.

Lumina Naturos is the oldest sister and the second oldest child.  Unlike her brother, she enjoys the light and dresses in the colors of the sunrise (or sunset).  With her golden hair, it's hard to believe that she and Nychtos are related at all.  However, what they do share is a notable physical beauty, which stood her well as she pursued a career in fashion.  She retired from active modeling to become a Fashion Columnist, though she occasionally returns to life in front of the cameras as favors for dear friends in the industry.

Pyros and Hydros Naturos, the second and third boys, are twins.  However, they are markedly different in personalities and preferences.  Pyros is really big on physical fitness and has a fiery personality that really ignites passions in others.  Hydros, by comparison, though no slouch physically, has a more relaxed, go-with-the-flow personality that more or less goes along passively with what others say.  However, Pyros knows better than to go directly against Hydros in any way, because while Hydros generally yields to others, if he feels strongly enough about something, his will won't bend and he will wash over and carry away anything in his path.  With their differing personalities, Pyros uses his charisma best in the boardroom as a CEO, while Hydros can be counted on to carry floundering stage shows to success--supporting weaker, less experienced performers as needed--as a Broadway Star.

Actually, originally Pyros used his charisma for stirring up audiences as a Rock Star while Nychtos' dark preferences allowed him to bully weaker personalities in the board room as a CEO.  However, both felt unfulfilled, and because their talents and skills were complimentary (Nychtos had always followed Music as a hobby, and Pyros had a business degree and did his own self-marketing to great success), they wound up switching professions with each other.  It didn't take long for both to find new success, with Pyros carrying Nychtos' company to new heights and Nychtos' career eclipsing Pyros' in no time at all.

Unlike her brothers, Eartha Naturos is a more down-to-earth person.  Not for the second sister the path to fame and fortune.  Eartha instead chose to pursue education as a career, believing she could do a better job helping others find glory than she could finding it for herself.  Still, she's done all right.  As a College Dean, she does occasionally figure into news stories and politics, but she does her best to avoid the publicity, feeling that it distracts and detracts from the goals of education.  There are some who might say she lets others (including her family) walk all over her, but that's because they've never come up against her directly:  she can be as immovable as a mountain if she feels strongly enough about something.

Windia Naturos, the third sister, doesn't seek fame and fortune either, but that's more because she doesn't really have the focus and determination to see things through.  Except for her career, she flits from one thing to the next, jumping from one fad to another, her opinions always shifting depending which way the figurative wind is blowing.  However, if she does ever settle onto one thing--such as her career--it's a risk to go up against her:  once she sets her mind on something, she will bowl through anything in her path to achieve it.  Thus, her path to becoming and Astronaut was filled with angry and disgruntled fellow recruits who couldn't make the cut, many of whom had actually helped her along her way but who had been unable to follow her as she assimilated everything they had to teach and surpassed them all.

Lectros Naturos, the youngest brother, has a lot of things going for him.  Besides sharing in the family's good looks, he also has a sharp mind, a quick wit, and devastating sense of humor, and an utterly inappropriately uncanny timing for inserting quips and puns, striking suddenly and without warning to change the mood of the room, should it ever be needed.  All his friends in school like him, and it's not unusual for him to be surrounded by a group of boys and girls, planning for outrageous (but never dangerous) pranks to amuse and entertain even the strictest, sternest, stodgiest teachers in school.

Frigia Naturos, the youngest sister and the youngest child, often watches her older brother's antics with disdain.  Though she shares in her family's beauty, her cool personality either makes her seem more mature or less mature than she actually is.  She has her friends, of course, and her own gang of hangers-on in school, but while she knows she is far less popular than Lectros, she also has a clear career path in mind for herself:  Journalist.  She sees herself as being the cool, impartial investigative reporter able to present the facts objectively, without the political commentary or clever plays on words that so many reporters and news anchors seem to employ.

From the moment of their arrival in Old Town, the Naturos family has been the subject of a great deal of gossip.  Rumors have been flying that pedestrians walking by in the street have caught glimpses of a little man in a blue shirt and a tall red cap has been puttering around in the family garden, but on subsequent visits, only an immobile stationary garden gnome could be seen.  It's also been reported that someone saw one of the Naturos sisters spinning some sort of thread on a spinning wheel--a thread the gleamed and shimmered in the light.  One night-time stroller recalls seeing one of the Naturos brothers picking toadstools out of the lawn and sticking them in his pocket instead of throwing them into the trash.  And among other things, the Naturos brothers and sisters have made names for themselves as excellent duelists and performers in Magic Town.  Other citizens believe it's all part of the show, and their skill as performers in the sideshows isn't unlikely since so many of them are or were in performance-related industries...but people still wonder what the Naturos family is all about.

For a brief time, Nychtos considered moving the family into Magic Town, because they already spent so much time in Magic Town anyway.  However, after seeing the available properties, he felt that his brothers and sisters--especially Lumina, Eartha, and Lectros--would be unahppy there.  He had no problem with the darkness that was so prevalent in Magic Town, but his family's interests came first...always.  So, he's content to being the occasional visitor instead of the long-term resident.  It bodes well to make life a little harder...but it would be nothing compared to how difficult life would be if his family was unhappy and made their feelings known.

***Update 27 August 2010***

Deciding to take a chance, Hydros left the Broadway stage for Studio Town.  After some ups and downs--though really, more ups than downs--he came out on top and joined the elite as a Superstar.  Despite some initial competition with Ron Nocturne, who was wary of any up-and-comers, the two collaborated on a few projects and became good friends.  However, because their careers are always moving in different directions, since achieiving Superstar Status Hydros has been unable to work with Ron.  They maintain their friendship with occasional chats in Studio Town and infrequent visits with each other at home.  On the really rare instances when neither is working or when they both have early calls for film shoots, they get together in Downtown for some...er...down time.

Family Base Income:  $4425 (CEO-$950; College Dean-$700; Astronaut-$625; Rock Star-$1100; Fashion Columnist-$1050)

Cool Custom Content

I get asked a lot where I find stuff so, I'm gonna give a list of some places to find really great custom content. A few of the artists are familiar to us and a few are new. I'd like to also point out that where ever you download objects from besure to have antivirus protection. I've not had any problems so far but there is always that chance. A lot of the sites I visit are spanish, german, swedish, japanese ect. so, its not always easy to understand and most of them you have to sign up for. Babelfish comes in handy, or if you are familiar with registration sites its easy to figure out what you are to do. I am not responsible for the sites or their content. I am only suggesting them cuz I know you are sure to find some really cool stuff.

http://www.simpossible.net

http://www.stylistsims.net/sims3

http://sims3.simcredibledesigns.com

http://www.holysimoly.com

http://www.modthesims.info

and of course the official sims 3 website http://www.thesims3.com which requires simpoints for official content but, I don't recommend downloading custom content from the people.

Another great place to find a TON of incredible custom content, and my personal favorite (outside of TSR), is http://mysims3blog.blogspot.com . This site is mainly a guide to find stuff and has links to other sites with the content. http://buscasims.blogspot.com is another blogspot. Blogspots will have sites like http://www.sims3marktplatz.net , http://www.blackypanther.de, http://thesimsupply.com , http://awesims.sixty-ten.net and many many many more.

Its a big world out there and lots of stuff to enjoy. Please be curtious with the stuff you download and don't use them as your own or modify them for uploading without the consent of the artist that created them in the first place. You are sure to find anything you can dream of, and if you can't a few artists will take requests. Remember to bookmark your favorite sites and check them often cuz they are always updating.

Enjoy and happy simming.

Summer Holiday

I'm going on a long holiday for a month or 2 months . I designed 5 things for you. Take Care ;) I won't design something till the end of my holiday. :) Byes.

Submission Issues

Just a quick note to let everyone know, I am still around but just unable to submit anything at the moment due to issues with the submissions system - don't think it's anything I'm doing wrong since I know a few other people are having the same problem.  Hopefully it will be sorted out soon and I can get some more of my paintings uploaded in the near future.

Meanwhile, I guess I'll just have to entertain myself with CAW now that's finally working!!  Yay!!  :D

Professor Eric (Livington) and Bell Goth ; Popularity for all the wrong reasons

*household members :

 Professor Eric (livington) Goth  /adult

Bell Goth / adult

Gunny Goth / child

With Goth for a last name Bell knew the town was watching every move she made, and  judgeing it.  Sure she aspired to be popular but for her work as a seriouse journalist, not because of who her family was.  Being named after a grandmother who had mysteriously disappeared, she felt the eyes of pleasantville apon her.  Even more then her sisters Saturday and Sunday.  Known affectionitly as the weekend twins, they seemed to have a more charmed life.  Bell wondered if perhaps she should have moved Downtown like the twins had, instead of buying her childhood home. 

Marring one of the professors from Sim State only drew more gossip.  His also loving the lime light of popularity made sims wonder if he only married her because she was a Goth.  He even took her last name.  Only Bell knew the truth, that it was she who persued him. She purposed to him in the Quad at Sim State durring a wonderful dream date full of pillow fights and grilled hot dogs.  She had even arranged the surprise Wedding in the back yard.

She had bought her child her home because of the loveing magic her parents, Cassandra Goth and Bengemin (Long) Goth had shared there.  That was before the glich and the poverty that followed, resulting in the family moving back to "the Big House" with Mortimore's second wife Bandi (Broke) and their daughter, Brie Goth.

Back in her childhood home with her perfect husband and beautiful son Gunny, Bell felt her life was perfect.  After remodling the house in the summer to maximize the small space but maintian it's outer size, fall was the time to focus on relationships and carrer's.  Pro. Eric spent his evenings helping Gunny with his home work between tiding up the house to up his cleaning.  Bell worked on her charisma.  Every thing was going great.  Pro. Eric got two promotions and Bell got one.

It was durring a small get together with some friends and family that she felt the pull of her family.  Cassandra's life asperation of having 6 grandchildren was the burden all her daughter's felt the pressure to fill.  Saturday and her husband, Dude Lames had been trying desperatly for their second child.  Sunday and Gilly Broke had twins.

"two grandkids from each of you is all I want," Cassandra presauded, "I had three kids, so you would each only have to have two."

Bell wasn't against the idea of another child, if it happened she would be happy but she was just as content with only having her precious son.
