Kelsey Kreutzinger

Kelsey is the only child of Rhys and Dina Kreutzinger.  She has the 'fussy' trait

She was conceived purely to save her parents' marriage.  She was so wanted and loved by her Dad Rhys.  No one truly knows whether or not Dina wanted her at all.

Kelsey lost her Dad when she was a toddler, to an alleged fall from a height accident. 

Dina worked long hours as Assistant Manager in the business career so Kelsey was more or less raised by the Nanny and herself.

She loved the Nanny, who would bake brownies pretty much every day.

Rhys Kreutzinger

Rhys was the middle child of Kate and Rohan Elderberry-Kreutzinger, Farrah's nephew.

Known as the 'accident' of the brood, he was conceived after a risky Woo-Hoo. He had the genius trait. 

Rhys grew up in a close family unit.  Most weekends were spent with his Grandparents Grace & Ryan Kreutzinger and his siblings and cousins. (L-R Top - Rhys, Grace, Piper, Ryan, Ronnie L-R Bottom - Cara (Dog) Emerson, Watson, Pippa and Lucas)

Rhys was a popular kid in grade school and he always enjoyed socialising.

He had a good relationship with his immediate family.  He is pictured below in the stripe top.

Rhys had a difficult time in his high school years, for some reason he struggled with learning, even though he did his homework on time.  He found it hard coping with embarrassment and holding down friendships.

It was close to the end of high school when he was ultimately expelled.  His parents were not best pleased with this and they felt he was going down the same path his elder brother, who moved out of the family home as a teenager to live in San Myshuno with a drug dealer.

(L-R Pippa, Ronnie, Piper, Rhys, Ronnie, Kate, Ross and Pearl)

Coming from a big family, Rhys dreamed of having lots of children when he was older.

Despite his rocky journey through teen-dom he was always very caring.  He even took his younger sister Pearl under his wing when she was grieving the death of their sister Pippa in a house fire.  I guess it was this nurturing that made him realise he would one day be a great father.

Since Rhys had been expelled, he became a bit of a party animal. He would frequently visit his bad influence big brother Ronnie at his apartment parties. He made no effort to get a job or to get his online diploma.

It was this reason that Rhys's parents made the very difficult decision to kick him out of the family home.  They had two young children and didn't want any trouble at their door.

He ended up sleeping on Venessa Jeong's sofa.  She was struggling financially since the birth of her daughter Patrice so he would babysit whilst she went to work and Rhys did the household chores.

Venessa was the driving force behind helping Rhys sort himself out.  She even got him to do his online diploma and get a steady little office job.

Venessa eventually asked Rhys to move out and gave him 3 days to find a place.  He was beginning to outstay his welcome and her daughter had aged up to child.  She just wanted her home back.  Although it came as shock to Rhys, the pair remained friends.

He moved to San Myshuno in a basement apartment and kept himself to himself for a few sim days, before heading out to the Spice Festival to see what all the fuss was about.

It would be here that he met Dina Caliente.  He was smitten at first sight.

They were good friends and spent a lot of time getting to know each other.  She would come over to the apartment and watch romance movies and hang out and sometimes go on dates.

Rhys had hit a point in his life where he wanted more than to live in a basement apartment.  He felt as though his dream of having the big family was becoming just that... a dream. 

In desperation, he used savings he had inherited from his grandparents when they died to build a house on his grandparents land.  He had such fond memories of Willow Creek growing up and thought it would be the ideal place to set up his forever home.

Rhys finally built up the courage to ask Dina if she would be his girlfriend and she was ecstatic.  Maybe a little too enthusiastic. They soon moved in together and Rhys realised Dina didn't have a career.  He urged her to get a job and she did, albeit reluctantly. 

It wasn't long before he thought about popping the question and Dina was overjoyed.  She couldn't wait to become Mrs Kreutzinger!

Their engagement didn't last long, Dina was itching to marry Rhys and they were married within days in Tartosa, which wasn't the best wedding because no one would walk down the aisle when prompted and the Dina forgot to bring the cake to the ceremony!

But Rhys didn't care, he had what he wanted and it looked like his dreams were becoming a reality.

The newlyweds spent their honeymoon in the Jungle, which wasn't exactly the honeymoon Rhys had in mind but he would do anything to make his wife happy. I guess it was that caring nature of his. He suffered a few minor bites but he wasn't going to let mosquitos spoil anything.

He hoped their first child would be conceived on their honeymoon but this didn't happen. Dina was taking birth control and Rhys was unaware until he found her pills in the bathroom.

When they were home, Rhys asked Dina if she would stop taking her birth control pills. She refused.

Their relationship went through a rough patch. Rhys couldn't understand where he was going wrong, why didn't Dina want to start a family with him now they were married? He had the four bedroom house in a nice neighbourhood, what more did he need?

Dina didn't want children YET. Her career was just taking off and she had a fire inside to climb the career ladder to the top.

Rhys didn't like this and their marriage was on the rocks and they hadn't even had a week of being Mr & Mrs.

Dina then got pregnant.  She wasn't happy about it but she did it to save the marriage.  Rhys on the other hand was over the moon. 

Dina gave birth to a baby girl and she was called Kelsey. 

Rhys wasn't a fan of the name, he didn't like using the same initial for her first name and surname.  Dina, being a big fan of KUWTK didn't back down on her decision and Kelsey remained Kelsey Kreutzinger.

Rhys was besotted with his daughter Kelsey. He had never known love quite like it.

Rhys found it difficult becoming a first-time Dad.  Dina was hellbent on going back to work. Rhys didn't want to quit his job either.  The night feeds and diaper changes were left to Rhys. Dina was a deep sleeper and she never woke when Kelsey cried.

It put immense strain not only on their already rocky marriage but on Rhys's mental health.  Since he was kicked out of his parents, he felt he couldn't call on them for help.

He would argue with Dina over the lack of sleep but she only offered one solution and that was to become a stay at home dad.  He was against the idea completely.  He saw what that did to his own father growing up and he imagined life would be different for him.

Rhys's last known whereabouts were at home with his wife and daughter.  He is now, allegedly dead from falling from heights. The WCPD are not treating his death as suspicious at this time but personally, I don't think it adds up.  Rhys was afraid of heights.

Farrah Kreutzinger

Farrah Kreutzinger was the second eldest child of Grace and Ryan Kreutzinger. She had an older brother, Jeremy and a twin sister called Kate.

She was always the wiser of the twins and Kate was a mischief maker.  They often got into trouble but it was always Farrah who came out unscathed. 

She had a boyfriend as a teenager; Harrison Bunch, who was her first love.  

He came over one winter night and stupidly decided to go for a sleep on an inflatable in the family's pool - started freezing to death, jumped off the inflatable to swim out - only to meet with the Grim Reaper and ultimately drown.

This crushed Farrah and it would take her whole teen years to get over.

She was the only Kreutzinger up until this point to make it to University. She went to Britechester and gained a Degree in Psychology. She took Harrison's urn to college and her roommate became obsessed with crying at the urn. It was this that caused Farrah to release his spirit and sell the urn.  It was time to move on.

Once graduated, Farrah couldn't decide what she wanted out of life.  She moved to Henford where she tried her hand at farming.  It really wasn't for her, as hard as she tried.

She had become an aunt to her twin sisters children and it made her long for a family of her own. 

Farrah re-located in Strangerville, albeit for a short while and it was here she met her second love, Luciano Yanez.  The pair were on and off, Farrah was cautious about falling in love after losing Harrison and Luciano was stubborn about sharing his feelings.

The pair separated after Luciano flirted with another sim whilst on a date with Farrah.  

Years passed and Farrah could not stop thinking about Luciano and wondered what could have been.  The pair had never Woo'hooed together but she couldn't shake the strong feelings she still had for him.

She heard the Luciano was living in Oasis Springs.  She headed to his home and decided to knock, just to check in on him in the hopes he would grab her in his arms and they could start again now they were older.

Sadly she was greeted by a woman; Rose Watson. 

Stood right before her was a woman claiming to be Luciano's wife and they were not only married, but she was pregnant with his first child! 

With so much running through her mind, Farrah decided to move back in with her parents in Willow Creek to reassess her life. She gives up her job as an Office Clerk and ends up spending a lot of time helping her sister with her kids and wallowing in self pity.

It was here that Luciano showed up at her parents house uninvited to see Farrah - his wife had told him an old friend had called in to say hi.

It was here Luciano confessed his love for Farrah and came up with a master plan to leave Rose to be with Farrah.  Farrah felt guilty but she wanted Luciano so much that she didn't make any attempts to stop him.

Luciano moved into a house on the Kreutzingers street, having his baby boy Watson over at weekends and rented from Grace, Farrah's mom.  Grace knew nothing about their pairs plan nor Luciano and Farrahs history.

For weeks, the pair met in secret at the home and Farrah became more and more besotted with Luciano.  

Farrah started talking more openly about their relationship as time went on and the divorce was becoming closer to finalising and Grace's mother and twin sister were less than impressed on finding out.

Grace was not keen on the idea, it went against everything she stood for. Marriage was sacred. But that didn't stop Farrah, she believed Luciano must be the 'one'.

For whatever reason, Rose surrendered her parental responsibility for Watson to Luciano.  It came as a shock to everyone but they all pulled together to make the transition for Watson smooth.  

Farrah gave birth to their first child, Emerson and the four of them lived happily for a short while.

Luciano's real age caught up with him as he aged up to elder and Farrah was devastated.  She got a Potion of Youth for him.

Farrah sits down with Luce to convince him to take the Potion of Youth she has got for him. Luciano breaks down on the sofa and tells Farrah if he ages down, his boss will Register him for the Draft. 

IF he was to age down, his boss was going to draft him to war. It was a difficult decision for Luciano.  He took a few days mulling it over but decided it would be for the best. This would be a choice that would haunt Farrah for most of the rest of her life.

Luciano is drafted and leaves for war, waved off by his wife Farrah and his two sons.  Little did he know Farrah was expecting another...... she was keeping it a secret so he wasn't more stressed than he was about leaving. Plus she thought it would be a nice surprise for him to meet another bundle of joy on his return.

The days Luciano was gone, Farrah spent a lot of time at her parents getting their help with the now 3 boys (Farrah had another boy and called him Lucas after Luciano).  It was at her Mom and Dads house she received a devastating phone call from the military regarding the children's Dad.

Farrah's world came crashing down around her. She fell into a deep depression for such a long time. 

Her twin sister was happily married with a massive brood (she had 4 children at this point) and seemed to have everything that Farrah dreamed of.

Farrah brought up the children as best she could, whilst juggling a job, being a parent and her own father being indicted on assault charges against an estranged uncle called Dana Barry! (It was in fact her brother Jeremey who did it) It was a very stressful time for the whole family really.

Farrah took comfort in having Luciano's tombstone in the garden and for many months she would meet with him of an evening for comfort.

She knew that one day she had to let him go, the same way she let Harrison go but she held on for the longest time, until Luciano started coming inside the house and into their bed, which overstepped a boundary for Farrah incase the children saw him.

One night she decided this would be the last time.

The next morning, Farrah wakes Luciano up. She tells him he has to go and he can't do that again. "What if the kids saw you?!" She protested.  Luciano gets up out of bed and vanishes without saying a word leaving Farrah upset.

Luciano never showed up again.  Farrah had decided it was the right time to let him go, she went to the yard and released his spirit there and then but left his tombstone where it was - she wanted his children to have somewhere they could go and feel close to him.

Farrah went on to adopt a little girl called Annalise (without my knowledge) when I left her to play with her twin sister Kate and see what was going on with her family. 

Her family was now complete with her girl.  She raised her children really well.  The kids never went without anything they wanted or needed. 

As soon as they all started growing up, flying the nest, she decided to look for love once more.  Third times a charm right?

She met a man, Ethan Hall.  It was on and off for some time, he had lost his wife and was fighting his feelings for Farrah.  Farrah was a few sim days older than Ethan.  She tried to remain as youthful looking as she could until her husband eventually aged up.

They did eventually get married and moved in together and they lived out the rest of their years in his mansion - he was a global superstar. 

They both became elders and Farrah finally found her happily ever after.

She never got to become a grandmother, but I just know she would have been the best 💞

Grace Kreutzinger

Grace Kreutzinger is the only daughter of Franz Kreutzinger & Faith Cherry.

Grace had a great childhood until she sadly lost her Mother on her Birthday when she was aging up to teen.  Her Dad was incredibly loyal to her throughout her life and they were best friends.

Grace was very intelligent and loved music.

She only had one romantic partner, Ryan during her whole life. 

They married in an intimate church ceremony with close friends and family. Ryan took on the Kreutzinger name.

She saw her Father go through many relationships after her Mother died.  Grace didn't want to put herself or any future children through that turmoil.

She moved to Del Sol Valley with her husband, baby boy Jeremy and her Father. Living on pennies for a few years was hard, and she was hopeful for her husband's big break in acting.

Sadly, this never happened. Grace fell pregnant again in Del Sol Valley, her Father Franz died while she was pregnant and Ryan was forced to give up his dream so he could provide for his family.

Grace & Ryan welcomed twins, Farrah & Kate.  Ryan had an Office Job, whilst Grace started blogging online.

This caused Grace to become famous.  Soon enough, her fame took off - she was being offered jobs left right and centre and Ryan took it hard.

Grace was earning a considerable amount of simoleons and Ryan felt inadequate.  They had moved into a mansion near the Del Sol Valley elite with her new salary and wherever they went the pair were hounded by paparazzi. 

Ryan couldn't handle it and so took a break from the relationship, leaving Grace on her own for weeks with a child and two toddlers.

Realising how much he missed his family, Ryan eventually begged Grace to take him back, which she did.  She didn't want her children to endure a broken home any longer.  

It took a long time for Grace to trust that Ryan wouldn't leave again and she often wondered if he ever got back with her for the right reason (love) rather than the fame and money.

Grace decided to give up her career in the entertainment industry to save the marriage and the family moved to Willow Creek in the home in which her great-grandmother Cara used to live.  She had a goal to remodel the house and live a quieter life away from the hustle and bustle of Celebrity life.

Grace & Ryan decided with all the money they had from Graces career, they would use it to ensure their kids had a home to start their lives in once they were young adults.

They rebuilt a street in Willow Creek so they could all live close by each other (below).

They all lived together in this street for many years until Ryan and Grace died.  

They saw their children grow up and had many grandchildren from their daughters.

Grace & Ryan lived out the rest of their lives with a Golden Retriever dog named after Grace's great-grandmother Cara and spent precious time with all their grandchildren before they died of old age.

RIP Grace & Ryan

Franz (Gen 3) is the youngest son of Freddie & Leticia Kreutzinger. They had him quite late in life.

Franz was a child when his Mother died in a house fire which started in the kitchen.

Franz had a very turbulent relationship with his Father after his Mother died and never understood why Franz put his sex life before his children. 

Franz vowed to never become like his father and left the family home as a teen, to make a life for himself.  He rarely kept in touch with his SEVEN siblings/half-siblings, he wanted a fresh start.

Franz moved to a small home in Oasis Springs and met his first wife, Faith Cherry.  

Faith was dark haired, curvy and busty.  She brought a lot of fun into Franz's life and they both dreamed of settling down and starting a family.  

They had one child, who Franz treated like a Princess, Grace Kreutzinger (below).

The family moved to Sulani after Franz got a promotion. It was there where Faith met her untimely death at the hands of a dishwasher she was repairing - which just so happened to be at Grace's Birthday Party as she was aging up to Teen.

Franz, once on the straight and narrow, eventually went down the same path his Father once travelled and had many casual relationships with other sims until he met Leila.  The relationship with Leila Iles (below) resulted in two pregnancies:  Jocelyn and Russell.  

Leila didn't tell Franz that she was married to Oliana Ngata with a step-son and it wasn't long before Oliana was at Franz's home to fight over the affair.

Franz ended things with Leila and was heartbroken.  For the next few years he threw his life into raising his daughter, Grace and rejected his two children with Leila. 

Franz did reach out in his later years to Jocelyn & Russell - Russell refused to meet but he did get the chance to mend things with Jocelyn (below).

Franz decided to uproot himself and Grace, moving to Willow Creek, where he would meet his second wife Joy Qualls (below)

Their marriage was short. Joy changed once they married - she wasn't a great step-mother to Grace and she refused to get a job to help with the families depleting money due to her overspending. 

Despite Franz also insisting he didn't want any more children, Joy got pregnant twice.  Shiew & Chester were brought into the Sims World unwanted by Franz and this resulted in divorce.  He never saw Joy or their two children again.

Franz stuck by his firstborn daughter Grace and they moved back to Sulani briefly, where Grace met her future husband.

Franz became great friends with his future son-in-law Ryan.  

Seeing his daughter fall in love made him hungry for a relationship, one that would last the rest of his life; someone to live out the rest of his days with.  

He met Charlotte Keene (below), a woman with a troubled past and from a large family who didn't want kids of her own.  There was quite an age gap between them and his intentions were not to marry again, but he did want to find love.

Eventually Grace married and Franz was the proudest father.  It was the happiest day of Franz's life seeing his daughter marry the love of her life.

It wasn't long before Franz became a Grandfather to a baby boy. He was overjoyed.  Charlotte didn't like the idea of being a step-grandparent very much and resented Franz's closeness to his daughter Grace and she also had her eyes on her step daughters husband.

It wasn't long before Franz saw Charlotte's true colours and dumped her.  

Franz moved to Del Sol Valley with his daughter's new family.

They lived in a very cheap house and it was there that Franz was to become a grandfather again!

Franz sadly died of old age when Grace was in her first trimester.

RIP Franz.

Freddie Kreutzinger was my Gen 2 in the Kreutzinger Legacy. 

A strong minded and romantic sim who loved the ladies.  He had many casual relationships as a young adult and finally settled down with Leticia, who he met at work.  

Soon after they were engaged, Freddie was abducted by aliens, leaving Leticia pregnant with their first child, alone. 

When he returned, he was pregnant too - artificially inseminated by the aliens!  

They had a rushed wedding when they were both pregnant before the birth of the children (Lilah: an alien and Kristin & Jurgen: twins!)

Their marriage would bring another two children into the family not long after - Katrin and Franz. It was a difficult time for Freddie & Leticia raising five children.

Leticia & Freddie were soulmates - Leticia was Freddie's world and they lived a great life together.  

Leticia passed away in a housefire only a day or so after aging up to elder and Freddie never fully got over the loss.  

He had several flings until he got one of them pregnant, Dallas McCaig.  They had 3 children together, Camille, Bryant & Kallie

[the-kreutzingers]

The Kreutzinger Legacy started with Cara Kreutzinger, a self made artist and well known writer.  

Cara lived her whole life in Willow Creek.  She was never short of attention from male Sims but she longed for Eric Lewis, her best friends husband, whom she had an affair with. 

Eric refused to leave his wife Alice so she lived an independent life on her own, selling her paintings for simoleons and raised their son Freddie alone.  

Despite her heartbreak she never let it get in the way of Freddie's relationship with his Dad (albeit a secret from Alice). 

Cara vowed to bring her son up properly and teach him to have respect for women and that she did.

Cara & her son Freddie had a close relationship, and she actually lived with her son and daughter-in-law and their children until Cara passed away - an elder.
