As mentioned in the most recent Contender post, Cynthia got pregnant with Carlos' child. This definitely wasn't planned. On the other hand none of his kids were. 😬 I mean, Jessica Peterson and Chastity Gere are still waiting for their alimony check(s) (In my game he's only getting away with it, because he's rich and famous. Carlos acts like they're just crazy fans, who try to pin this on him to get some money out of him. Since Jessica and Chastity are both poor they simply don't have the means to hire a lawyer willing to indict him. Carlos is such a douchebag it's not even funny.) 😅

It's not just the pregnancy itself that's worrying Cynthia at the moment. The Kims are in a big financial crisis. Nobody can say they aren't trying to fix their situation though. Ever since the Kim's television series got cancelled, Cynthia is trying to make it as a socialite. She's even starring the current season of The Real Housewives Of SimCity. This pregnancy will definitely sabotage that idea. Besides, the risk is too high for Robert, her husband, to find out the child Cynthia is carrying isn't his. Robert still works in the Show Business career, though not as successful as before, as a Cartoon Voice. ⭐ Justin Kim, Robert and Cynthia's son, is visiting a public school now and works a part-time job. He's working as a Lab Glass Scrubber in the Science career track. 🧪

Gabby & Cheech

Well. WELL. Just what can be said about the Kims that hasn’t been said already? 

Ah, the Kims... there isn’t an adult sim in the whole of SimNation who hasn’t watched the famous ‘House on Exoplanet 8′ when they were teenages. But as those teens lusting over Robert or Cynthia grew into adults, real life took over and nobody was interested in the Kims’ life in space anymore. That as well as the lawsuit from the alien planet Xorgas about the lack of representation of their species on the show meant an end to the series and an end to the Kims’ time on screen.

The studio was gracious enough to leave them the house which they have renovated a bit not to seem weird to their neighbours and have started their life in the 21st simcentury.

Robert and Cynthia were always a touch dramatic (oh those actors), so they have decided to live their lives in a way that would create the most drama. One way to do that was to have lifetime wants that completely oppose each other Mr and Mrs Smith style. Cynthia wants to become Downtown’s Captain Hero, while Rob aims to become the Criminal Mastermind behind each and every crime that happens in this neighbourhood. I guess in a way they sort of provide a job for each other. Needless to say, there’s no place for boredom in their relationship.

StrangeSpot, Round Eight: Kim

One way to cope with your parents’ divorce: yoga. Justin figured if their marriage could survive show business unscathed, their family was set in stone for life. He was wrong. He breathes in, then breathes out. The only constant is change...

While they’re finalising things, Robert sleeps on the couch. He stays up nearly all night stargazing though. When Cynthia wakes, she can’t help but give him advice... like “you won’t see many stars in the daytime!” Robert quietly decides he needs to move out ASAP. Everything is entwined with Cynthia - the decor, the garden, everything.

Even the pets are having their own breakup of sorts - Cheech and Gabby have never found common ground, and they’re not starting now!

StrangeSpot, Round Four: Kim

On her day off, Cynthia completes the final touches to her garden and invites the garden club over to approve her membership request. It’s not a glowing review but she’s in! She misses dressing up and putting on a show - this felt close.

If Cheech could talk, he’d have so much to say about the things he’s seen.. or rather, who he’s seen. Hamilton Beech and Ophelia Nigmos seem to love stopping by when Cynthia and Robert are respectively home alone.
