#carmen ramirez

* Cards Against Humanity turns into Truth or Dare, and as the night turns balmy, so do the questions.

* Before they know it, they’re taking off their clothes, smirking as each dare gets saucier than the one before it. 

* It’s too late for second-thoughts by the time they hit the bunk, Dom barely fitting on his own, let alone with Carmen. They settle on the floor instead, grateful for the one spot in the room that’s cold. 

* The sex is better than Carmen ever expected, and though she has little time to think about it, there’s a certain tinge of tenderness to Dom’s actions that make it feel like more than just meaningless sex. 

* When they’re done, they lay face to face, fingers entwined, both covered in a sheen of sweat. 

* “I didn’t think you liked me like that,” Carmen grinned.

The Ramirezes are generally an easy family to play, especially after the chaos of the Tinker house. We only managed two of the three challenges this time, though, because I failed to throw a roof raising party for Tessa. (Whoops!) On the bright side, Checo did meet the extra challenge of getting fit again, and we did have baby Carmen, so I think that makes up for it. 

 I love how Tessa grew up, and I love her homework face. She really is a gorgeous sim. I’m already matchmaking Tess and Justin Kim. He is going to grow up when I get to his family this round, and I think the two of them would be good together. They both love their dogs. I can see them with a dog training business maybe. We’ll see what happens with attractions and aspirations and such, I guess. 

I really don’t know why Checo couldn’t earn a gold fishing badge. I tried to look up how long it takes (or how many fish, or whatever requirements there might be) but couldn’t find any info. It could be a mod conflict, or some other game glitch. I’m not terribly worried. I just kind of wish I had used all the time he spent fishing to do something else. Ah well. At least I have 47 pictures of him fishing in various locations. 

I feel like there’s always just a little story tucked into the Ramirez round. I liked writing the conversation between Checo and Lisa about her pregnancy. I want to do more with their friendship with the Tinkers next time around. Maybe a double date? Tessa could babysit. 🙂 

I’m eager to see baby Carmen grow up. I think she is going to be lovely, just like her sister. I’m also excited to see how Tessa really does as a big sister.
