Mostly he just spends his time with his plants.

What's this? he's found someone who likes to talk about plants?

One day while he's out and about looking for rare and wonderful seeds, he passes by city hall where there is a protest underway… he talks to several people but no one tells him why they are protesting jelly fish.

Finally he's earned enough money to invest in some fishing books, he spends his evenings slowly increasing his knowledge of lures and baits.

This is Elaine Joy, she is the one Abe has set his cap on….but there's a problem. She has a boyfriend. Abe sees it as a sign that after dating 3 years Elaine and Larry aren't married and pursues her. He loves her home and even helps her harvest her crops. That's right Elaine is a farmer too.

One thing leads to another and Elaine is expecting Abe's baby. Finally she's ready to end things with Larry and become Mrs. Abraham Inglewood. She just has to break up with Larry first.

Larry is not too happy to see her go.

That evening Abe drops to one knee and proposes to his beloved. She happily agrees and plans their wedding party. As fate would have it, she goes into labor the night before the wedding and has to be rushed to the hospital.

Here she is Miss Bertha Jean Inglewood. What a doll.

Elaine insists on going on with the wedding and as a friend strums on a guitar, Elaine and Abe exchange their vows. Such a happy moment ….

For most anyway….who invited Larry? Looks like the musician is telling Larry he has bad breath.

Life goes forward at the Inglewood Farm and soon Bertha Jean is ready to head off to school and looks like Elaine is expecting again.

Sure enough she goes into labor and gives birth right out in the fields.

Here's Brandon James in his favorite place--the fields. Looks like he'll fit right in with the farmer's family.

Well my first sims 3 family bit the dust.... 2 of the sims just vanished and then weird things started happening on the lot: like sims dancing with ghosts and the grim reaper coming back to dance with the mom after her mother had died. Because I didnt want to play with them after that all happened, I made a new 'legacy' style family to play. My founder is Abraham Inglewood. He grew up with scientists for parents and decided he would live off the land. But he is quickly finding that isn't as easy as he thougth it would be.

Since he's a farmer he's not allowed a job off the lot. I've decided to swap genders each generation so the next heir will be a female. So we'll see poor Abe is trying so hard to catch that 'big one'.

I found out some things, this is the first male I've extensively played in the game. The males can try for baby with visiting females. This has given me the idea of having one see just how many children he can have in the neighorhood at a later time. So far I've had sims fish up a rubber ducky, bubble bath, a birthday cake and a guitar. FUN FUN.

More to come.
