Sims 4 Let’s Play: The Gates Family
At least 5 generations of Hoskins present at the grave site of Orson Hoskins 🥺
The Gates are the richest Sims in all of my let’s play (LP) storylines. Thankfully, Kristen Li, the great matriarch, knew selling kewchie and weed would be profitable for her lineage.
Thanks to Kristen Li, her lineage is set up very well. From her two daughters, Melissa and Malaysia, she knew something had to be done to set them and their children’s children up for success in Windenburg. Now, Elisa Michaelson is at the helm of the family’s major weed empire. She married Atlas Michaelson, of Celeste and Christopher Michaelson in San Sequoia. But before her matrimony, Elisha was a happy single woman, sleeping around with Sims who tickled her fancy. Don’t think she’s like other Sims (cough cough Sophie & Skyler) — Elisha has a PhD in Botany and is at the top of her career! The funny thing is, Elisha isn’t even blood related to Kristen Li’s lineage. Malik Acharya was Kristen’s actual grandson, but he had a struggle to find his greatness.
Malik’s parents, Melissa and Victor, adopted Elisha when she was teenager. They were high school sweethearts who stayed married until their passed away of old age. With Malik their likely only heir, they saw no greatness in the boy and decided to give their love and generational wealth to a deserving unhoused teen in the foster care system. Elisha came in very grateful, unlike her brother Malik. She was heads in the books, while Malik was head in kewchie. He had his first baby as a teenager with one of his high school girlfriends, Dominique. He fancied white Sim girlies, despite being of Black, Asian, and Latine descent. Elisha didn’t let boys distract her at school because she legit had her eye on the long game.
Eventually Malik’s girlfriend, Dominique, became pregnant with their daughter Caroline. He didn’t claim the little girl until she was a teenage. By that time, he was head-over-heels in love with a white Sim named Latisha Moore. She had those Kardashian lips, and red hair, his preference. Malik allowed Latisha to move in with him just as he was getting his Engineering career off the ground. While he was no longer sleeping around, he definitely knew better than to marry Latisha for fear she’d take his family money. They remained engaged until she died. With Caroline in the household, Elisha was annoyed at her brother’s bullshit and lack of focus on the family business. She kept her focus on growing their weed empire as she learned the ropes as a weed dealer while getting her PhD in botany.
As Malik tried to make up for lost time with his daughter, Caroline, she rebelled and gave stank ass attitude each time she could. She missed her mom, but also somewhat liked being a part of the richest family in all of Simdom. Not the most stellar student, Caroline at least managed to finished high school. As for Latisha, she tried to trap Malik with a baby but turns out he had no more swimmers. So she went down to the clinic and had artificial insemination done but she didn’t pick the donor sperm wisely. While she was pregnant, Malik was excited but still unaware about his lack of swimmers. Once the baby came, and it was very very white, Malik, who was very very dark, balked at Latisha’s attempt to trick him.
The power that red headed woman had over him was immense. He forgave her, and decided to claim the little baby, Keaton Moore, as his own. Caroline took great offense to this seeing as her daddy took 14-16 years to claim her as his bio child. Keaton grew up to be just like his mother, a bummy loser who slept around with many others. After Latisha passed, Malik was heartbroken and took more to being a father to both Caroline and Keaton. Partly because Latisha was gone, but also from guilt of having her give up another baby earlier in their relationship. Latisha was pregnant when she started fucking with Malik, by her high school boyfriend. That baby grew up to be Dillian Moore, who to this day doesn’t know much about his bio mom. This drama was too much for Elisha!
She decided that if she ever would have kids, they’d have to be a part of a greater plan to make money. When the time came, she fell somewhat in love with Atlas Michaelson and more so in love with his family’s money. She gave in to being a mom and had their first child together, Atlas II. The boy was hella ugly, which upset Elisha because she’d always been seen as beautiful by other Sims. Atlas was in love with being a father, so she welcomed his stay-at-home dad ways. He also was very domesticated, so he simped hard for Elisha’s love whenever she was willing to slang kewchie his way. Eventually, she had him agree to an open marriage where only she could sleep around. Reluctantly, Atlas agreed because he wanted to keep his family together — longing to have the kind of love his mother Celeste and father Christopher had together.
Keaton Moore on the other hand was a rolling stone! Once Malik passed away from a hit and run on the family’s back porch, all hell broke loose with that boy. Keaton started sleeping with every Sim he could charm. This meant a lot of unprotected sex, and many baby mamas. By last count, Keaton has 4 baby mothers and 4 kids. One of which, Micah Moore, came to live at the Gates’ residents once she turned 16. Her mother, Adelyn, was Keaton’s high school sweetheart whom he married once he found out they were having a baby. That marry quickly dissolved as Adelyn proved possessive and clingy.
For Caroline, her father’s passing brought mixed emotions which led to her being diagnosed as bipolar. In a group at college, Caroline met Landon Locklear who also was bipolar. They hit it off really well, and she started sleeping with him on the regular. Their sex was hot in wild, especially after she moved him into the family house. Elisha of course was pissed, but she had little sway with two of Malik’s kids (albeit one not legitimate) being of age to cast her out of the will. Caroline and Landon had their first child, Valerie, while she was finishing up her degree. Landon started to display signs of alcoholism shortly after that. Thank God for Atlas! He was a father to his own children, Atlas II and an out of marriage baby Ximena, as well as to his nephew and niece’s children.
Elisha found a way to make sure power of attorney remained with her after the official will of Malik Acharya was read. This allowed her to ask Caroline to move out of the home since she was pregnant with baby #2, Landon Jr, and Landon and her weren’t working. Caroline agreed as long as she could take her 100k Simeoleans that her father bequethed her. That was easy for Elisha to agree to! Keaton on the other hand, had no desire to leave as a freeloading bastard. But Elisha had plans for him, beyond what he could imagine. His daughter, Micah Moore, was showing promise that she could be the head of the family’s weed business that afforded all of these derelicts to live. Atlas II showed great weakness, like his father, which Elisha hated. And her baby, Ximena, couldn’t be put to test with the empire yet plus her bio dad was a SimDa hook up, Andre.
How can Elisha ensure her grandmother’s legacy continues and their family’s weed empire thrives with Micah Moore, a bastard, at the helm?
