Always Comes Back to You

Round 2 - Summer 2024
Janet Peterson is 27, Sinjin Couderc is 32, Taylor Peterson is 1
Narrated by Sinjin Couderc

I'm in deep crap. I don't even know how I got into this situation. A little over a year ago, my life was passing along just fine, filled with wild parties and fast women and it was great! Then I met Janet Peterson. I've never met a woman who was able to match up with me, but Janet definitely can hold her own! At first it was fun, she'd call me whenever she needed some company. It was a great arrangement. Then I find out she's pregnant. Pregnant! I'm 32 years old and I never once thought about having any kids. I'm a pretty selfish man, I know this and that is why I simply never wanted kids. But it was happening.......

And here it is a year later and I can't imagine my life without Taylor in it. It's funny how you don't realize you want something until you get it. She's the best little girl in the whole wide world and I only hope that I can be a good dad to her.......one that she deserves............
So what is my problem? THIS! A cute waitress flirting with me and me having no interest........can you believe that?! There was a time when I would have hung around until closing and took her back to my place. I guess it doesn't help that my place is a house that I now share with Janet. Don't get me wrong, I love being able to see my daughter everyday, but things have just become so.........domestic!

These thoughts swirl around in my head on a daily basis. I've tried everything to just forget about it. I don't know what's wrong with me........I have no desire to go out to clubs anymore. No desires for a little afternoon delight. It's like aliens have come in and taken over my body!

I've been working out like a maniac so I'm tired by the time I get home. I don't want to think about any of this. It doesn't help to think about it. I've never felt this way before and I don't like it. I want to be back to the old Sinjin.....

But it's like I can't. I love women who love to hear me talk about myself. She's a cute petite blonde, right up my alley. But instead of offering to walk her home, I end the conversation and hit the showers before heading home........what is with me?
It can't be that I'm in love with Janet. Why would I be? She has to be one of the sloppiest sims I know! She's always walking around all hunched over. There's nothing sexy about that! Yes, I find her attractive at times. I mean it's obvious since we have a kid together. But Janet isn't worth giving up all the fun I've had over the years.......but is Taylor?

She is one of the fussiest babies I've ever seen, not that I've seen many babies. When she wants her bottle, she wants it now! I think she gets that from Janet. With Janet, it's either her way or no way at all!

Ok, so she's sloppy, but she's really wonderful with Taylor. I mean, when I first found out that Janet was pregnant, I figured that we were both going to be just sim-awful parents. Janet especially. I mean yea, I like to party, but I've always kept a very clean house. Janet is perfectly fine with living in filth. But I have to say I've been pleasantly surprised with how she's been with Taylor.

I look like Indiana Jones right? I've told my boss that it's just idiotic for us to have to wear this to digs, but he assures me there's good reasoning behind it. Reasoning that he has yet to explain to me!

While I'm at work, Janet spends some quality mother-daughter time together with Taylor. We try to make sure one of us is at home with her so we don't have to hire one of those awful nannies! She really is a great mom. That's one thing that I can't complain about when it comes to her. She's amazing.....

Taylor has really gotten into music. Anytime she hears some, she's on the floor bobbing her little head and shaking her little hands in the air! It's pretty funny to see, although I know exactly where she gets that trait from..........

I've walked in quite a few times and caught Janet dancing away! Taylor already idolizes her and wants to be just like mommy. I still haven't decided if that's really something she should be aspiring too!

She also likes to scribble with her crayons on her activity table. We went a little crazy with the gifts for her. We just really want her to be a well rounded girl and also we want her to have alot of fun!

I get home pretty late most nights, so bath time is also a mother daugher affair. Taylor loves taking baths and loves splashing around in the water. I kinda hate that I miss so much with her. Janet works as a party DJ a few nights a week and she makes her own hours at the salon so she gets to spend more time with her.
Yea she's a great mom. Maybe that's what I'm feeling. I appreciate what Janet does for our daughter, so I feel obligated to act like this is a real family. That has to be why I'm all of a sudden losing interest in going out with other women........so how do I fix it?

Janet may get bath time, but I get to potty train her. I don't know if that's really a fair trade though! She's learning quite fast and I'm sure pretty soon we won't have to change anymore diapers. We hope so anyway!

I've never been a man who loses control. I'm always in control of how I feel and what I do. I don't know what's happening to me. It's such a weird feeling to take someone else's feelings into account. I just can't seem to shake this feelings........

No matter what I do, it always comes back to her. Well I won't stand for it! So watch out Crystal Bay, Sinjin Couderc is coming back on the prowl!!!

*Sinjin is just a big bunch of contradictions. I think he might really be falling in love with Janet! He has stopped rolling wants for other women and he only rolls generic kiss and woohoo wants. He's constantly thinking about Janet and heart farting all over her. Well, Janet is a horse of a different color! She wants to woohoo with 3 different sims, while also wanting to have another baby. I don't know what these two are going to do! They still don't really roll wants for baby Taylor, but they autonomously take care of her........I just don't get these two!!!!

Winter 2023 Birthdays

Round 2 - Winter 2023

Janet Peterson is 27, Sinjin Couderc is 32, Taylor Peterson is 1

Janet has really been doing well with her hair salon. She still has her slacker career job, but the extra income from the salon helps out alot. And she's gotten really good with the makeovers. She's the talk of Crystal Bay! And this time it's not because of all of her male "friends!"
She decides to throw a party for Taylor's first birthday. She invites over Nickoli Frader and Andrew Langerak, two of her former lovers. Andrew seems to have a problem with Nickoli, and pokes him during the whole party! Chill out Drew, Nick is a married, expecting father now! Maybe you should be poking on the guy that knocked Janet up.........oh wait, you didn't want her anyway right?

Janet also invites over Anya Ivanov. They have become pretty good friends since Janet hired her to work in the salon. Dimitri might want to watch himself.......Janet isn't really the best influence for an unhappy married woman..........

Soon it was time for baby Taylor to grow into a cute toddler (hopefully). Proud poppa Sinjin was there, he's just not pictured here.
She's the spitting imagine of Sinjin! That might change when she get's older, but right now she's definitely daddy's little girl! I don't really see any of Janet in her at all! It was time to change her out of the fugly hair and clothes that Maxis changes them into......really, stripes for a little girl?

Here she is with a new do and a pretty new dress. I couldn't get over how much she looks like Sinjin! It's like he had her instead of Janet!!!

Cliche "Awwwww" moment. Sinjin and Janet really are good parents. So much so that I decided to give them the second aspiration of family.......turned out to be a mistake because immediately Janet rolled the want to have another baby.........let's make sure they aren't going to screw Taylor up before we go creating more potential victims!

She is definitely a little cutie, no doubt about it! Her parents should be proud. For two extremely self involved sims, they created one cute little lady!

*I have no idea why Andrew hates Nickoli so much! Nick didn't even go NEAR Janet so it wasn't that.........guess he just naturally doesn't care much for him!!!!!

New Babies : Winter 2022

Janet Peterson is 26 and Sinjin Couderc is 31

Sinjin decided to accept his fate as the father of Janet's baby. He agreed to move in with her so that he could be there to help out with the baby once it came. He and Janet have a bit of an agreement. They will still woohoo with each other (safely of course) but are also free to see other people. They have no connection other than being parents to their child.

Janet has become really good friends with Candi Harris. Candi comes over to see how that baby is doing on a regular basis. That, and to brag about her new job at D's Place on Crystal Bay Island. Janet is all about sexual freedom, but she doesn't think she could dance around for strange men. Or become involved with the club's married owner. Oh she's seen Dimitri Ivanov and she knows he's a hunk. But she still couldn't do it. Besides, she recently got accepted to get a loan to open her hair salon, Styles by JP. She plans to keep her music store job. Babies require alot of money!

Janet isn't the only reason Candi comes by. She has a bit of a crush on Sinjin. She would feel bad about it if Janet hadn't told her time and time again that her and Sinjin were only living together for the benefit of the baby. So Candi figures he's fair game.......

Janet gets up one morning feeling like she's about to explode. It's time for the baby! She yells and screams for Sinjin who is still in the bed asleep. He comes just in time and soon they have......

Ms. Taylor Peterson. Janet decided that she should have her last name since she gave birth to her! Sinjin can't doubt Taylor's paternity, she has his eyes and nose! She's really a beautiful baby.......

BABY SPAM...................

MORE BABY SPAM.....................

Sinjin can't believe how much he likes being a dad. Of course he wouldn't want another one, but little Taylor is his world. Everytime he looks at her, he can't believe he had a hand in creating her.......amazing.........

Janet opened Styles by JP shortly after Taylor's birth. And who happened to be her first customer? Her old flame Nickoli Frader! He can't believe Janet started her own business......he didn't think she had that much gumption.

She hired Anya Ivanov to work as her saleswoman. She's doing a great job so far. Hopefully it will be lucrative so that she can give baby Taylor all that she needs. Welcome to the neighborhood Taylor Peterson!

*Sorry I don't have pics of Janet in labor.....Gadwin strikes again! I hate getting those blank screens! Anyway, if I were considering giving Taylor up for adoption, I would reconsider now. Janet and Sinjin are very attentive parents! I only played them for two days (woulda been one but I had to try to get some pics the replace the blank ones!) and they were constantly doing things for Taylor autonomously! They don't hold any wants for her, but they do it on their own......it's actually kinda sweet, in a Janet and Sinjin kind of way!

Oh My Freaking Simgod!

Rotation 1 - April 2022

Janet is 25
So it's VERY safe to say that Sinjin and I have been getting along WONDEFULLY! He isn't like those losers that I went out with before! He understands exactly what this is and doesn't make any thing bigger out of it.....it's wonderful, and it's just the type of relationship I've been looking for! The past 6 months have been truly like heaven for me!

I've been getting out of the house more and even made a new friend. Candi Harris is a woman after my own heart! She knows what she wants and is not willing to settle for less! Some people might call her a gold digger, but hey, money turns her on......some people are turned on by blue eyes, others by brown......I say live and let live!!!

I caught a really nasty flu that I just can't seem to shake......I don't really feel all that bad.....just nauseous sometimes......I've been relaxing alot so I'm sure it will pass. I think Sinjin is a little worried about me, but I'm fine....stupid bug.....

So this is getting ridiculous! I'm throwing up at night and during the day......so I've decided it would probably be best for me to see a doctor......maybe they have some magic pill that will get rid of all of this vomiting.....it really is disgusting and is just not very attractive at all!
But before I go, maybe I should have a little something in my tummy. I mean, I'm starving! Maybe this will stay down.....if it doesn't, the doctor can see first hand what I'm complaining about! I hope I get a good doctor and not just some quack who doesn't know what he's talking about! Maybe I got food poisoning......what have I been eating lately?.......

Oh my freaking Simgod! I'm pregnant. PREGNANT! As in I'm going to be someone's mom. A mother. Me. Can you imagine the counseling bills that kid will rack up with me as their mother? And Sinjin is going to freak out. After all my talk about not wanting something serious, I end up carrying his kid. I mean, sure he played a part in this too.......I don't recall him objecting to any of our interludes. A baby......a freaking baby.....

I call Sinjin right away.....best to get this over with. He of course is more interested in flirting and possibly getting a little afternoon delight than in the important matter that I need to discuss with him.......what a one track mind he has! And so it begins.....

"Sinjin, I'm pregnant."

"Like with a baby? One of those little people?" he asked. Is he serious? Is he being sarcastic?

"Yes, with a baby. That's usually the end result of a pregnancy."

"Hey, there's not need to get smart with me! And you're telling me this is MY baby?

"Why the hell else would I be telling you, Sinjin? This isn't really my idea of small talk you know."

"Come on, Janet. All that talk about keeping this light and all that. Who else are you sleeping with? Maybe it's theirs," he said.

"You are the worst kind of jerk. Trust me, you aren't at the top of my list of eligible bachelors. I mean what do you even DO for a living? And look at how you dress! You're the last person I would want to trap, trust me."

"Look Janet, I don't really do kids. I mean I'm not ready for all of that."

"Not ready? And you think I am? Sinjin, you're in your 30's. When do you think you will be ready? It's not going to work forever you know. You going to be one of those old men on Simagra just having your first child at 60?" I asked.

"I wasn't planning on ever having kids actually. I didn't ask for this."

"Oh yea, and I was praying to Simgod that I would get pregnant. It's my life long dream." "Just look at this logically. This isn't something that either of us planned. But it IS something that's going to happen. So I need to know where you stand," I said.

"So you're planning on keeping it?"

"What kind of question is that? My parents didn't plan for me either. But I'm glad they had me.....and I'm having this kid......with or without you Sinjin Couderc."

"I need some time to think about this. I mean this is huge, Janet. This is a life changing thing."

"You have 9 months to think it over Sinjin. 9 months to decide if you want to be a part of your kid's life. You let me know what you decide," I said.

We were at a stand still. I knew he wasn't going to take it very well. Don't get me wrong, I don't want a kid. But for some reason, I'm having one. So I can roll in pity (which I"m sure I'll probably do for a few days) or I can accept the fact that someone is going to be calling me momma.....ugh......

I guess my little music store job isn't going to be quite enough to feed an extra mouth.....so I've starting studying to get a license in cosmotology. I love making people look good. Maybe I can even start my own shop......a baby......who woulda thought?

*To say this kid was a surprise is the understatement of the year! Her and Sinjin were have a good old woohoo session when I heard the baby chimes! I didn't put any of the residents of Crystal Bay on birth control so I guess it shouldn't be too much of a surprise.......Janet Peterson is going to be a mom......poor kid! I know the pic size is ridiculous, but that's another thing about getting behind. These were taken before I decided what size was best. So by the time I get to the Rotation 2 pics, the size will be more uniform!

Losing My Touch?

Rotation 1 - October 2021

Janet is 25


I finally did it! I got my place by the beach! It's not a beachfront property because I didn't have the money for it, but it's as close to the water as I could afford! Ah, the life of the bachelorette! This is going to be so freaking sweet! I've been kinda bummed lately because my little romance with Brandon Lillard came to an abrupt end. Seems Brandon bats for both teams.........I'm willing to share, but that was just a bit outside of my realm!

But when one door closes........... I met Andrew Langerak at the arcade downtown......he's a cutie isn't he? I didn't even know they had sexy men like this in Crystal Bay! That strong jaw and those piercing blue eyes are just too much! He has women all over Crystal Bay drooling over him! But of course, it's up to me to tame him!

He has dreams of moving to the big city. I didn't want to crush his dreams by telling him that he probably won't be able to move to the city on a bartender's salary. He's all solomon and serious and he's really not my usual type.......but hell, he's gorgeous!

I don't think he approves of my little bachelorette pad......what did he expect? I mean, if a woman picks a man up in a bar, chances are she isn't going to be little susie homemaker. He's lucky that he's so sexy. I would normally have an issue with someone judging my lifestyle.......but he gets a free pass!

"Look, I know we got off to a rough start, but how about a little truce? I mean we're both here, almost naked in my bed. Don't you think there are better things to do besides fighting about where I live?" I asked him later.

"It's nothing personal Janet. It's just that you seem a little flighty. Contrary to what you may think, I don't just jump into bed with every woman I see. I came back with you because I thought you had some depth. But it just seems that you're a really shallow person."

Talk about a mood ruiner. After his little comment, it was obvious that things weren't going to progress very far with us. I told him what I thought of his opinion and he hopped out of the bed in a huff.......such a waste.........

I get the distinct feeling that Drew doesn't really like me. Well the feeling is mutual. Judgemental jerk! Well so much for my luck changing. After that fiasco, I asked Drew to leave and told him to never call me again. He smartly replied, "No problem," and left my house.
I decided to fix myself a nice fruit salad to take my mind off of the date from hell. I don't understand why I'm having so much trouble. I'm a good looking woman! What is these men's problem? Drew called me and apologized and asked me to meet him on Crystal Bay Island at the Pink Flamingo. I didn't have anything better to do, so why not? I believe in second chances.....
Of course, it wouldn't hurt to show Drew exactly what it was he's missing out on. So I put on my guaranteed to knock 'em dead outfit and strutted out to the awaiting cab, convinced that I could turn this entire bad day around with a few quick swishes of my hips!

The Pink Flamingo is a nice little spot on the island. Too bad it's next door to a shady pool hall. I bet you can never guess what Drew wanted to do first. I mean who apologizes to someone by taking them to a place where they could possibly get mugged?

Drew was a horrible date. I mean just terrible. He wasn't very interested in the game, even though playing pool was his idea. I just don't get him. I don't know what his deal is. After technically playing the game all by myself, I told Drew I was hungry and that we should go out to get something to eat.

We go next door and eat in the little restaurant on the bottom floor of the Pink Flamingo. This is where I finally accepted that no matter how sexy he is, Drew was just not the trouble.

"No offense Janet. I mean you're sexy as all get out. But it's like you're oil and I'm water. We just don't mix," he said.

Why do I have to be the dirty oil and he the pure water?

After Drew, I had a whole slew of failures, including Amin Sims. Am I coming on too strong? Is it my fault? Does my breathe all of a sudden smell bad? What is it about me that seems to repel all available men? If they aren't repelled, then they want a lifetime commitment. Sheesh, what happened to the middle ground? That nice gray area?

Then I met Sinjin Couderc. He's a cute guy looking for a nice time who is completely unattached. It's great! He just walked by my house one day and I ran out to greet him. Couldn't let a man like that just walk on by!

All of my flirting that had been previously unsuccessful worked wonders on Sinjin. FINALLY! I'm back in the game after all!

After he assured me that he was interested in only women, it was full steam ahead. The perfect house, the perfect situation........life is good!!!!


*I plan to do a post on my addition to Crystal Bay - Crystal Bay Island. It's my custom made downtown area. Janet is a riot to play. It was hilarious to see her be so unlucky with her male companions. But there are still a few surprises in store for poor Janet. I'm going to try to catch the blog up more closely with where I am in game. I'm already on rotation 2 and so much has happened that I want to share!
