🐺 Saint Conroy

more under the cut

Saint Conroy - this guy is where it all started with for me and The Sims. He was the first male character I ever played all the way through his life. I started playing Sims 20 years ago, and my first household was a girl I focused on - Jolene Winter (later Winter-Conroy). But eventually, she needed a partner by her side, so I created the very first version of him. Sadly, I don’t have any pictures left from that version.

Saint today After a long break, I got back to Sims with The Sims 3 because my son wanted it, and – well – I got hooked again, lol.

I recreated them in S3 as best as I could and gave them the look I had imagined with all the new features. Unfortunatly barely S3 screenshots, cause i didn`t document my GP that time this way, story only in my head and memories - so all images here are from the remade in S4. Saint grew up with his mother’s relatives after she passed away early. He was treated well there, but he wanted more than to be stuck in that small town forever. After school, he started working odd jobs and saved up a little money to rent a room in the city, at least as a temporary solution. Without his uncle’s support, it wouldn’t have lasted long. With his guitar, he began busking at the same spots repeatedly. That’s where Jolene noticed him. She started coming by more often to see if he was there, listening to his music from a distance. One day, he approached her, and there was an instant chemistry between them. They grew closer, he taught her how to play the guitar, they fell in love, and became a couple.

Saint landed a few gigs at local venues. He met more people and eventually started the band 'Gravity'. They practiced in a classic garage setup and were finally discovered, thanks to Saint’s persistence in getting people to listen to his music at least once. They married 3 years later while the band started to go it's way and things went very well.

The unstable lifestyle took its toll, and they argued more and more frequently. Saint often withdrew from conversations and did his own thing. The issues with Jaxx weighed heavily on him, but neither of them knew how to help him. They separated and even got divorced, but continued living together in the large finca (which they later bought and restored) that they had rented with the band. Since, deep down, they couldn’t live without each other, they reconciled and remarried a little over a year later. With his wife Jolene Winter-Conroy he has four kidz: Jaxx - Cloud - Leroy und Joshua.

'Gravity' got famous, and he became a clan leader and MC president.

Saint aging

He has a quirky habit: he only wears red shoes. Now he’s a great-grandfather, but I prefer to not age him more, it's game, so I can do what I want haha. They’ve been through so much family history together, up and downs and some tragedies, but I wasn’t really documenting any of it back then.

So one day, my game stopped working, and I had to make a choice: The Sims 4 or no Sims at all. I put it off for as long as I could, but eventually, I made the switch and left them behind, planning to start fresh. But Sims 4 didn’t have the stuff I loved from Sims 3 – bikers, MCs, musicians, bands – it was really missing for me. Nevertheless it lasted about two weeks before I started remaking them in Sims 4. I just couldn’t be without them. They’re connected to everything I do in my Game, even if it’s just in the background. They’re the foundation of my whole gameplay.

I play without aging and death. I manually age them up when it’s time. I just can’t handle a full legacy game with all the consequences. So here we are, and would love cataloging my Sims here now.

The plan is to give each of my characters a profile and update them whenever I feel like it. Saint Conroy ❤️ Sim made by me @tikay21 in various stages of life.

Sim by me @tikay21

I would like to introduce some of my Sims (Char/OC) that I’ve created over the years and which are special to me. Most of this ones I’ve played with for a long time or actually play with.

🐺Prof. Dr. Jaxx Winter-Conroy

more under the cut

Jaxx Winter-Conroy is the eldest son of Saint and Jolene. He is probably the Sim I’ve played the most, maybe even more than his parents, if you count the time in Sims 3, where everything revolved around him since his birth and I really love this guy that much.

He was a rebellious teenager, highly intelligent, and bored at school, feeling undervalued and labeled. He didn’t have it easy, despite - or maybe because of - his father’s status.

(at this time i didn't document my GP with screenshots, so i've barely some - i'd redone some with their remake version here in S4 and catch up state of play in fast through GP) Back then, Jaxx was an outsider, but there was this girl from a good family, Athena Best (maybe some of you remember her - NPC from S3), who, much to her highly esteemed parents’ dismay, saw something in Jaxx.

They became friends, and that friendship grew into a deep love. She motivated him, and she was his reason to pull himself together. He managed to graduate respectably, leaving all doors open for him. Shortly after turning adult, he married Athena, and soon after, she became pregnant. But fate struck again - before their son was born, Athena was kidnapped (I had to cope with a save issue and she got lost :( - so I had to handle with this in a way).

Jaxx dropped everything and dedicated himself fully to finding her, but he failed.

Restless and driven by grief and loss, he traveled the world, started studying archaeology and went on several expeditions, collecting antiques, and explored the most remote corners of the globe. Eventually, he landed in Asia and spent a long time in a monastery, where he learned martial arts.

Finally, he returned home, founded a dojo, and began studying law. During his studies, he lived with two close friends in a rented house - James Beaufort and Tarik Bolton.

On campus, he met Sarah Mahony, who became pregnant with his child - unplanned.

After Jaxx graduated with flying colors, Sarah dropped out of university and moved with Jaxx to his parents’ estate in Brindleton Bay. Sarah was an unstable, rather childish person, and couldn’t handle the responsibility. Eventually, she left Jaxx and left little Damon with him.

But that wasn’t all… when a new member joined his father’s band 'Gravity', Jaxx felt in love with the young guitarist, Thia Winterfels, and the two quickly became a couple. She was his 2nd great love. Another wedding followed, and Jaxx and Thia had twins - Rahel and Hannah.

But fate struck once more, Thia died in a tragic accident with her horse. Jaxx threw himself into work and steadily climbed the ranks in reputation.

Today, he is simply the top attorney in my world. Meanwhile, there have been more women and children. Despite everything, he is a wonderful loving dad and does everything he can for his family. I hope he finds his inner peace one day.

🐺Jolene Winter-Conroy

more under the cut

Jolene at current state of play - aged up - i don't will age them more - cause they are special to me and will live forever ;). I started playing Sims 20 years ago, and my first household was this girl I focused on - Jolene Winter-Conroy. You can read how this took it's way at the character view of her husband Saint Conroy. She is the first Sim i ever played started with Sims 1 and I remade her for Sims 3 and 4. These both are in a way the ancestors of all my Sims and the founder of the Conroy Clan. With her husband Saint she has four children: Jaxx - Cloud - Leroy und Joshua. They have a very eventful family history with ups and downs. They were divorced for a time but found their way back to each other. She always supported him in everything he did, but it wasn't always easy. Living alongside a celebrity, with the band lifestyle and everything that comes with being in an MC and at least a Pres, demanded all her strength. She is a very tough woman and, alongside Saint's career, she built her own as a stylist and now runs her own small studio.

as close as I remember to her from Sims 1

and as remake based on Sims 3

the way I played her in Sims 4 - after i catched up the state of play as close as possible from S3 - with granddaughter Rahel Winter-Conroy. Sims made by me @tikay21

Conroy Family-Tree

Braywood Foundation for Youth Welfare

This is the place many stories started in my game. This organisation exists since my time with The Sims 3. Currently there are 3 houses for kidz, teenager and young adult who needed a place to live. House 1 and 2 are for kidz, teenager and young adult found abandoned or from a poor parents home or students needing a living community. House 3 is for toddler and childs only.

The buildings are located in Newcrest. On the title image above you see

Braywood House 1

on the left, the place I park foreign Sims / NPC’s for a while as long as I need them to play, mainly are living girls in. It is an makeover of the lovley 'College  House’ created by                                 gallery name:  DRDS1807

Braywood House 2

on the right, in fact it is the place I bring new characters into game, which have no family tree, they first move in or characters from stories move in on their way to get their own story.

It is one of the most played places in my game, so most stories started here.                    It is an makeover of the lovley ‘Dormitory’ created by                                  gallery name:  fernandasimoes (FS Design) the build is unfortunately not longer availabe in her gallery. In Sims 3 it was another build of course - Jolene Winter (Conroy Clan - story here) and her younger sister Lynn Winter grew up there. Jolene is the ancestor of my Conroy Clan -> start story here she is the wife of Saint Conroy the Clanleader, who, in the story, donates the Braywood Foundation generously and is a member of the board team. Raven BC-Doe (Best-Conroy) - The Wizard of Ravenyard lived here after he left his home, leaving his hated foster father and unfortunatly his siblings behind. He as well is a part of the Conroy Clan not knowing this, cause he is Jaxx Winter-Conroys lost son.

Lynn moved out to follow her career before Raven moved in and before Ben Travain got the responsible youth worker and leader of House 2 (since Sims 4). She met Ben years later during a holiday in Granite Falls and she moved in again, having a relationship with Ben for some years. Before that, she had an affair with David Stone, got pregnant with Chase Winter-Stone, who grew up in House 3 mainly.

Lynn and David

Noah Travain moved in the house to his older brother Ben in preperation for his education at Britchester University, were he later studied Culinary Arts and met Chris Kehala at university. Chris moved in Braywood House heavy in love with Noah until both buyed their own home, located in the direct neighborhood.

The Beginning - RETRO

Jolene Winter

1st image above #JoleneWinter cc RETRO TheSims version -> gallery link to nocc version 2nd image - at least in Sims3 3rd image - young Jolene as started in Sims4 gallery link to nocc version of young Jolene as played #JoleneWinter(-fels) by #tikajona - everything startet with her sometime around 2002. She was my very first Sim ever in TheSims.

She was my main character I played that times all over (in gallery I wrote TheSims2 - that was a mistake, I never played TheSims2. Startet with 1 then 3 and now 4.

I recreated her first for The Sims 3 as I remember her in style and then did the same from TheSims3 for TheSims4. This wasn’t planed.

It was hard to say goodbye to all my Simmies from S3, but the game got increasing buggy, with endless loading times as more as my world growed.

I tried TheSims4 and missed the roads to bike with a motorcycle, the so much more color possibilties in cas, from hair- and eyecolor up to clothing, the eyelashes, hated the loading screens all between every move to anoher lot and I don’t wanted it. But at least I had no chance - so it was time to say good bye to TheSims3 and to my so loved Conroy Clan, the Rockband Gravity (another feature I miss, why does Sims4 only have classic music career, that’s so oldschool), my Werewolves. the Nolans and the MC’s I had there.

I wanted to do all new in Sims4 but it only lastet 2 weeks and I couldn’t resist to bring my Clan back - missed them too much, played them over years with no cheats. Conroy Clan was 4 generations, up to Marcin Winter-Conroy I just brought back to gallery now - you see below.

Marcin Winter-Conroy

#MarcinWConroy today in my game - he is Jolene and Saints grandgrandson      gallery link

Saint Conroy   -  The Clanleader

#SaintConroy did’nt exist in TheSims, he 1st was created for Sims3 and I never played a male Sim continues before. But up from Sims3 I continues played the Conroy Clan, a Rockstar & a Star-Stylistin was the status left behind in Sims3.

Very young #SaintConroy by #tikajona - as close as possible as I created him in Sims3, looking back I’m not more sorry about leaving Sims3 - Sims4 Sims are so much more handsome and pretty ♥♥♥

cc version on image above gallery link to nocc version - as he started in Sims4 is same

Saint at least in Sims3

Some impressions from Sims 3

Saint in Sims3

the 2nd marriage of Jolene and Saint - they divorced after 20 years, but got together again 3 years later

the Conroy Villa - not the last state it was, but one of the less images I have - they had a stable left from the red tree and a huge range to ride and train in front of later. Thia died by an traiing accident with her horse in Sims3 - were living all together here. Jaxx very much later build a treehouse and moved there with Maja.

THE  CONROY  CLAN  -   Story

Saint met Jolene in Roaring Hights, making money with streetmusic long before he was famous and a rockstar. At that time he was far from expecting to be a clanleader & MC-President of a motorcycleclub one day …. to be continued …
