The Bunker Bunch
As the group settles in Sunset Valley...it is clear that they are all looking like fish out of water. So here's the break-down of the family (household)
The Military Group - in order of rank
Fleet Admiral Toshio Nakamura - The CO of the bunker. The guy in absolute command of the bunker; former naval aviator, four-time MiG Killer and recipient of the Medal of Honor, he's hard-nosed, but tries to be fair...though sometimes his command decisions leave his subordinates rather dissatisfied. Favorite quote: "No day's an easy day...for us. You don't have to like what I tell you to do...but you'd better do it."
Admiral Liandra Gracen - Formerly CO of Navy Reserves and former Judge Advocate General of the US Navy she now ends up being the one that brings down the hammer to anyone who steps out of line in terms of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
Vice-Admiral Meg Austin - XO of the bunker, she was former Commander in charge of Naval Research and Development - a weapons expert. Tough, no-nonsense; but is still a bit of a "romantic at heart".
Captain Kimber Benton - She's Tosh's Chief of Staff and retains this position though they're stuck in the bunker. She helps the fleet admiral keep organized.
Captain Harmon Rabb Jr. - former XO of the USS Allegiance; he returned from deployment and was promptly dragooned by Tosh to be a part of the group that survives the apocalypse.
Colonel Sarah "Mac" Mackenzie - formerly Marine Liaison to the Secretary of State and love interest of Harmon Rabb Jr. Twenty friggin' years and they're still dancing around each other instead of just getting together.
Commander Philip Burrows - Former CO of the VFA-41 Black Aces F/A-18F fighter-attack squadron - Completely off his rocker, he tends to do stuff that normal people wouldn't do. If it wasn't for Tosh being CDR Burrows' guru, he'd probably have been shanghai'd out fo the Navy by now.
Command Master Chief Jennifer Coates - Chief Non-Commissioned Officer (Enlisted). There's not really much for her to do until they start to reboot the military once the dust settles.
The Civilians - Those who aren't in military service.
Haruo Chikamori - A gardener and husband to River
River McIrish-Chikamori - An artist and the wife of Haruo - the only two who are paired up in the group.
Bebe Hart - for the longest time she wasn't sure of what to do as she's artistic, but she's decided to learn cooking and help upstairs with the agriculture sector and help Haruo.

I know Horses do this in RL
But I have never seen one in Sims 3 do this before: "Lay down to sleep"
I just love the details in Sims 3 so much; back when EA/Maxis took such care and attention in what they were programming into the game.

Being Mean to my Dog
I'm so mean to my dog... Everytime he finds an empty chip bag, snakeskin, maple leaf or feather. "Well...that's another three searches you get to load up on again..." He found five snake skins, a maple leaf and a feather. Well...he's going to be out all fucking night.

The Wedding
Tosh: Everything I've been through has led up to this very day. We're out of the Navy, but I still get to wear the uniform for this special occasion. The CNO has seen to that. We've been through so much together. The Bosnian War where we ground-pounded dropping GBU-10 2000lb'rs for the first time in our squadron's history and for the first time in the F-14's history and I became CO leading the Black Aces over Kosovo. I became CAG, Kimber became CO...and it all boils down to this moment. I wasn't expecting her to have feelings for me, but when she made them known and pretty much resigned her commission, the path was set in motion. Now we take the next step in our path together. She let me have my career in order to have me because she felt I had the better career prospects.
Kimber - "From the Bosnian War to the skies over Kosovo where you and I were flying MiGCAP, you were always my flight-lead..." (Author: "oh...how romantic..../sarcasm/) "We kept each other alive. We watched out for each other and we promised each other that we'd make sure that we got home to the bird-farm. And now we take care of each other for the rest of our lives as wingmates and as husband and wife..."
Tosh: "We've always been wingmen in our missions...you've always kept my six clear of MiGs...and I'm ever grateful of that. Ours has always been a life of sacrifice and service and you sacrificed your career to be with me when you resigned your commission over ten years ago letting me move up the ranks.
Now we take the next step in our lives by always standing by each other's side...till death do us part.
With the young again potions that we drank, we have a chance to have our lives back and to live our lives for each other...with this ring...my love, I thee wed..."
Tosh: "With all that I have...and all that I hold...in sickness and in health, through all of life's trials and joys, we stand together as one..."
Tosh: "For as long as we both shall live..." (Author: /sarcasm/ With a Young Again potion at the ready...yeah...it's gonna be a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time.)
Kimber: "With this ring, my love, I thee wed...With all that I have...and all that I hold...in sickness and in health, through all of life's trials and joys, we stand together as one..."
Kimber: "For as long as we both shall live..."
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!! PRESENTING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN PUBLIC. FLEET ADMIRAL AND MRS. TOSHIO M. NAKAMURA!!!" (Author: Dang, I wish I had a sword arch pose pack...here... Heck a full military wedding pose-pack)
~evil grin~ now on to the wedding night. Nope...not showing that on the Sims Forum...I don't wanna get banned.
~smirk~ You know what they say about (dinner) dress whites...and gold wings. :mrgreen:
