Confessions of a Sims 3 Addict

 Hi all, Leona speaking. We just got home from Tony's lovely wedding. It was so romantic that Bryon and I danced to the radio into the wee hours of the night. In a matter of days we will officially be empty-nesters. Both our boys have moved out to their own places: Tony to his new home with his new bride, . . .  . . . and Nick to the house by the fishing pond, which he's renting from the Culpeppers.

Cliff was a looker, but the union was doomed due to his distain for her talent and his misogynistic tendencies. When Sondra was a baby, Tess had enough, and after one huge blow-up where Cliff ousted her and baby Sondra from the house, she sought help from Dr. Ellen Talbot, a psychiatrist new to town, who helped Tess build up her self-esteem and find a place to raise baby Sondra and oldest son Clancy as a single mom. She wasn't single for long. She soon met a compassionate young man named Anton Dexter. Anton and Tess had a rather peaceful life,...
