For as long as he could remember, Kim Chang was in love with Yannalese Sakumora. Originally from East Akeai, Yannalese and her father moved to Tarryton when she was 9 years old, after her mother died. She met Kim while they were still in elementary school. He was instantly smitten with her exotic beauty and foreign accent.

After being friends for years, he finally asked her out on a date when they were in high school. From then on they were a pair.

When her father had a stroke and nearly died, Yanna wanted to get married and have children so her father would meet them and have time to spend with his grand children before his time came.

After being with Kim for so many years, she was ready to settle down but Kim wasn’t. Not wanting to waste any of her fathers time she broke up with Kim, hoping to find a man who would want to settle down and start a family with her.

It was during Rachael’s “Get over it Kim” party that he realized he did want to start a family with Yanna. She was the only one for him.

He serenaded her, bought her flowers, took her out to expensive restaurants and even began working in her fathers restaurant, to show her that he seriously wanted to commit.

Finally when he popped the big question, she of course said yes.

Her father threw a big elaborate backyard wedding for her. Lot’s of friends attended and the honeymoon afterwards lasted a week.

She came home pregnant with twins Saku and Mora.

They are both attending University and Mora is Logan Montgomery’s love.

Saku has just accepted an internship in Belize for the summer and plans to attend with her steady boyfriend Alvin.

Yanna and Kim also have another daughter, Zoe. She is 16 years old and unfortunately her whereabouts are unknown as she’s run away.

You see, as the years went on Yanna realized that Kim was putting on a front to marry her and keep her his.

He’s too immature and irresponsible to really commit to being the husband and father that she wanted. He constantly get’s fired from his jobs and he doesn’t help out with the family restaurant.

Because of her father Jie’s advancing years, he was unable to run it on his own and Yanna was too busy raising there children and running the household. The business went under and they moved to the suburbs.

Jie tried again to have a business in the Prospect District. It wasn’t the best neighborhood but the grocery store he opened was needed. Unfortunately he was robbed and so he closed it down.

Afraid his health would suffer, Yanna packed him off to East Akeai to visit old friends for two months.

When he returned he seemed a new man. He was healthy and refreshed and…glowing?

They soon found out why he seemed so changed. A few weeks after his return a woman showed up on their doorstep. A young woman.

It seems Jie had fallen in love with a young woman named Vanessa. He had arranged for her to come love with him after she settled her affairs in the East.

She came looking beautiful fresh and pregnant…

The couple married right away and several months later, Vanessa gave birth to Jie’s son and new heir, Kyomi.

His heart was happy that he could finally pass on his family name.

That same day Grim came for him…

After Jie’s death the family fell apart.

Kim spent all his time restoring an old car. He wanted to have something to give to his daughter Mora.

He knew Yanna favored Zoe and Saku was left a large inheritance by Jie, being the eldest grandchild.

Yannalese was discontent with her life. She decided that it was time to get out of the house. She allowed her hair to grow out, something she hadn’t done in years, as Kim liked it short. She no longer cared what he thought. She found a job as a substitute teacher at the local high school.

It was there she met Nehemiah Harris. Nehemiah was the favored teacher of all the students. He was young, dedicated to his job and he loved being a teacher. If someone needed something they only had to go see Mr.Harris. Nehemiah saw that Yanna was unhappy. He invited her out for coffee to talk about it. They quickly became friends.

One day when she was feeling particularly down, Yanna went to Nehemiah’s house.

One thing led to another and… well you get the picture.

At home, Vanessa wasn’t liking the situation. She had been a wife and mother for only a short time and already a widow. She didn’t want to be around this feuding couple. And Kim, she saw was exceedingly lazy and often depressed.

She complained to Yanna about it but her step-daughter scolded her to mind her own business.

Vanessa knew she owned the house and store as Kyomi’s guardian until he was old enough to accept his inheritance. But she could’t just kick them out.

Then one day, Vanessa walked in on Kim having “relations” with the maid.

She was horrified but knew she had to tell Yanna.

Yanna was upset and angry at Kim’s betrayal but knew her own was just as bad.

She decided that they needed to part ways.

Kim begged and pleaded for forgiveness but she was tired of trying and made him leave.

Zoe, was horrified and wanted to go with her father. Her mother of course refused.

Kim found a small studio in a converted warehouse and drank himself to oblivion almost every night. He found a part time job as a porter, but it didn’t pay much and he was always behind on his rent.

His only bright days were when his daughter Zoe visited him. She felt sad that her father was so depressed. He didn’t deserve this she felt. She knew her mother was fooling around with Mr. Harris. How couldn’t she? It was all over the school.

She begged her father to let her stay with him. He always told her no.

One day, she decided to drop in on him after school. There was a slight commotion in the alley by the building. A woman was cursing and screaming. She heard sirens in the distance.

It was getting late when she walked in. Her father was passed out on the floor, a puddle around him.  Before she could help him, she heard a loud banging on the door.

The police had come because apparently her father had raped the guest of one of the tenants.

Zoe was horrified. She tried calling her mother but she wasn’t answering the phone. Vanessa was out and didn’t have a cell phone.

Saku and Mora were both away at University. She was alone.

The police barged in to arrest Kim.

But it was too late. Zoe had thought her father was passed out drunk. But in truth, he was dead.

The coroner reported that he died of alcohol poisoning. He’d literally drunk himself to death.

It was a week later when Yanna finally found Zoe still at her fathers house. She hadn’t heard about his death but when she did, she barely wept for her deceased Ex. Saku and Mora came home from Uni for a while but they couldn’t stay.

Zoe was forced to go home with her mother but when Yanna left that evening to go see  Nehemiah, Zoe packed her things and ran away. No one has seen her since.

Vanessa, unhappy with the situation, has asked Yannalese to move out. She want’s to raise her son in a healthy environment and feels that being around his sister is not healthy.

Yanna has since moved in with Nehemiah. She continues to search for her daughter Zoe.

Duncan Montgomery knew what game Rachael was playing from the moment she stepped into the club. She didn’t know it but he was working undercover for a Belizean man searching for his granddaughter in Tarryton.

Duncan had been working for a small detective agency for the past few months. He just needed some life experience to help him write his book. Being a journalist had it’s down moments.
This was definitely not one of them. He spent the night dancing and partying with a hot red head and got paid for it.
Life was sweet.
It was even sweeter when she invited him back to her place. That wasn’t exactly part of the job but hey, who’s to know. The old guy was at deaths door last he heard. He’d be dead before he found out the “detective” he hired got a little on the job bonus.
But when they got to her house there was a small party going on. It seems her friend Kim was down and out because his girlfriend gave him the “put a ring on it” spiel and he didn’t. Of course Rachael’s way of making things better is to throw a party.
The scene was light when he got there but then when the guy started crying in his beer…
Let’s just say awkward.

Not wanting to witness another mans shame, Duncan left Rachael to comfort him and went to hide in the kitchen. Passing the bathroom he marveled at who would put a glass door on it. The black couple making out on the bathroom sink barely registered. Hey, it’s a Rachael party, one should expect that.
He thought he would be alone in the kitchen but it was already occupied. By the most beautiful ass he’s ever seen….
But then she turned around and smiled and whoa..

Cherry was embarrassed to be caught hiding out. She wasn’t the party girl type. She didn’t even know why she came. But it was Friday and she was home reading a cookbook! How seriously pathetic could you get.
The guy who just came into the kitchen was staring at her and she could feel herself turning red. Why was he staring at her?!
He seemed to figure out that he was making her uncomfortable and introduced himself.
They started light conversation and when he learned she was a chef he seemed fascinated. He said he loved to eat. Doesn’t everybody?
Not knowing what else to do she decided to make him something to eat. Rachael only served booze at her parties and to be honest, Cherry had been feeling peckish.
The two of them spent the rest of the party in the kitchen talking and eating Cherry’s Eggs Benedict, with a side a bacon. Rachael the fitness freak had bacon? Who knew. It was probably Margie’s.

The next night he asked her out on a date, and just like that, Cherry, the chubby, shy chef with a heart of gold stole a guy from the hot Latina redhead with the smoking body.

Now years later, Duncan and Cherry have 5 children. Logan is 19 and attending University, Taylor is 17 and about to head to Uni herself, Morgan and Jordan are 8 year old girl/boy twins. And Harrison is their 4 month old baby.

Rachael’s mother migrated to Belize and met a young businessman. She fell in love and shortly afterward conceived Rachael. The businessman however; was not as pristine as he appeared and disappeared shortly after being told of Rachael‘s mothers condition. After Rachael was born, her mother died and so she grew up in an orphanage in  the Red District of Tarryton.

She was an exceptional athlete and won a scholarship to University where she met her best friend Margie, as well as Eric Rumor, Vera Alexander and Kim Chang.

After graduation she moved in with Margie who was studying for her law degree.

Rachael, a party girl at heart was painting the town red and loving it. She met Duncan Montgomery at a party and invited him to one of her own she was throwing for the desolate Kim who was on the outs with his long time girlfriend Yannalese.

She also invited a mutual friend of her and Margie’s, Cherry Parker. Eric, who had an on again off again relationship with Vera, was also invited.
It was at this party that Margie and Eric hooked up and Duncan, met his future wife Cherry, the love of his life.
Sadly Rachael was left alone. But not for long.

When Vera caught Eric cheating on her with Margie and left him, taking their baby daughter Gloria with her, Margie quickly moved in with him leaving Rachael in the lurch, as she wasn’t exactly working.
Not wanting to forgo her party girl ways, Rachael tried being a DJ but it wasn’t for her. She’d rather dance to the music than mix it.
Finding a job at a local rundown gym, she quickly made it a popular place by incorporating a dance class, tai chi workshops and personal training. Who wouldn’t want to get some personal one on one training with a hot redhead with a banging body.

The owner saw the potential Rachael had and offered to sell her the place for a pittance. Rachael quickly accepted an became the proud owner of Hard Bodies Gym.

It was around this time that she received a mysterious phone call from Belize.
It seems her Grandfather had passed. Her only living relative.
In his will he left her a small sum of money and information regarding her future “husband”.
It seems, at his passing her had been in the middle of sending her “betrothed” husband to her.
Of course Rachael had no idea about any of this and didn’t even want to meet this supposed husband of hers. She didn’t want to get married!
But as her grandfather was her last relative she wanted to fulfill his dying wishes and she invited John to visit.

It was love at first sight.

John was smooth and debonair. His body was hard in ALL the right places, and he was head over heels in love with her. Her every wish, was literally his command.

He totally knocked her up in like a day.

(Sorry for the shoddy edit job, no one would stop thinking of her during the nuptials :-/)

She was happy to have him on her arm when she was invited to Cherry and Duncan’s wedding. Though she was sporting a small baby bump it was nothing compared to the one Cherry had!

A few short weeks later, Rachael unexpectedly gave birth early to a baby boy Joaquin.
He was 5 weeks early although perfectly formed an only had to stay in the hospital for 2 weeks.
Cherry had her baby just days after Rachael gave birth to a full term baby boy she named Logan.

Two months after baby Joaquin came home from the hospital, Rachael and John married in a small ceremony at city hall.

They now have two more children in addition to Joaquin. Juan, is now 15 and Theresa is 8. Joaquin is attending university with his best friend Logan Montgomery.

Though the franchise is small it does boast a 401K plan and retirement fund.

Employment opportunities aside the establishment boasts a rich and highly fattening menu guaranteed to make young sims beg their parents to take them there.

The play area, a happy and active place for young ones to burn off all the fattening fries and shakes is constructed of durable rubber and foam covered metal.

The self serve drink bar offers free refills with meal purchase on a variety of popular beverages.

This new option is sure to do well as sims tend to like new things and offered a variety between Burgerworld burgers and Mcsim Burgers, well, how would you choose?

Which is the better burger?

Been so busy with life this past summer and now school has started again so more free time. Cause having three boys is… whew..!
