Generations 1, 2 & 3
Click Here to Read - The Murphy Family (prelude to the Pratt family):
The Murphy family is the first family that I created in the Sims 3. The Murphys live in Sunset Valley. I created Malcolm and Savannah as a married couple in CAS (Create A Sim) and they later had five children. Please note: This is not exactly a story, but more of a progression of the family as they grew (like a family photo album).

Generation 3 (con't)
Candy is the daughter of Yasmin & Jess Murphy. She was born in-game to a family that I was not actively playing, so I had no control of her name or traits. I decided to start playing with her after she grew into a young adult. Soon after I started playing her, she marries her high school sweet heart Sam Pratt. The marriage has a great beginning, but Candy's workaholism and Sam's couch potato trait leads to problems.
Candy Pratt has never been very lucky in love. Her marriage failed and her new romantic pursuits have not lead anywhere. Candy finds a new way to share the love in her heart, but will she get the results that she is looking for?
