Gen 1: Wrath

Karen Karensby - game begins with teen Karen living alone in Willow Creek

Spring, Year 1

Karen hates everyone, except Malcolm Landgraab. Life exists to piss Karen off, and heaven forbid you get in her way. On her first night in Willow Springs, Karen started a fire, and instead of being grateful for being saved, argued with the firefighters until they stormed off the lot. Her home was invaded by Robin Banks and Karen was so smug when Robin was arrested thanks to Karen swiftly calling the police from bed. 

Karen is making money by painting beautiful masterpieces - but she hates it! She tried being a babysitter, and it does not pay enough to deal with those bratty children, so she quit. She can’t wait until she’s old enough to start her REAL dream job, a criminal mastermind. She’s had her eyes on Malcolm since the beginning of high school, and who better to hate everyone with than Malcolm? 

Hating everyone extends to herself, too, as she picked up cigarettes within a week of moving to Willow Springs. On her first day of high school, she tried cannabis and hated it -  it’s legal here, but Karen doesn’t care, she’s secretly (or not so secretly) judging any Sim that uses it. Stinking up a place with the cigarette smell is only part of Karen’s dastardly plans. She starts shit with everybody - adults, teens, children, even Bob Pancakes. Karen is a bully, a brat, a stuck up bitch, and plans to let everybody know. 

Despite being a total fucking bitch, Karen is terrified of being judged, and sits quietly with these fears and continues on anyway. She’s having trouble making friends in school, and wonders if they’re secretly all judging her. Karen set her eyes on Malcolm, and within weeks of being a bitch to everybody but him, he was hers. She’s got Malcolm on lock - evil does need a partner after all.

Right before Love Day, she asked Malcolm to be her boyfriend, and he said yes  - he’s only seen a taste of just how evil Karen can be.  Her mask is starting to slip, though - her hotheadedness is only vaguely disguised by her nicotine addiction. Don’t speak to Karen in the morning before she’s had a smoke! As soon as she graduates high school, she’s going to marry Malcolm - whether he likes it or not. . Not even the Flower Bunny escapes Karen’s wrath. Instead of enjoying a pleasant Bunny Day with Malcolm, she took off out of the house to physically fight the Flower Bunny for eggs. She won, of course, and the Flower Bunny is now her mortal enemy. She’s rapidly approaching Summer with high hopes - and an eye on next Spring for her graduation. Some notes under the cut

(Summer, Year 2, Wrath Gen, Part 4)

In mid-summer, Malcolm got the call that his father, Geoffrey, had passed away of old age. The whole Landgraab family gathered at the local cemetery to mourn his loss. A few days after Geoffrey, Nancy Landgraab passed away as well, no doubt hastened by the heartbreak of losing her beloved husband. Malcolm is devastated all over again and goes to bury his mother next to his father with his family. Even Karen sheds a tear at the thought of never being able to rile up Malcolm’s mother again…

With both of his parents now dead, the Landgraab fortune is split between the 3 children. Malcolm receives a $50,000 inheritance from the will, leaving Malcolm and Karen with a nice cushion to support their children. Malcolm would rather have his parents than the money, but is hoping to maintain a relationship with his brothers as his children grow. 

Malcolm and Karen have been spending the rest of the summer focused on improving their skills and their work performance - Karen maxed out her writing skill, and they have both been steadily improving their video game skills now that they have some live-in help and don’t have to spend every waking moment tending to unruly babies.

The Birth Of The Glutton Gen

Karen is in labor! They head to the hospital, and Karen gives birth to twin boys: Kelvin & Victor Landgraab. The next generation is born!

Because they weren't expecting twins, they had to do some quick rearranging in their nursery and hire a nanny upon returning from the hospital. Karen and Malcolm decided to take a few days of family leave to cope with the stress of their growing family.

The Landgraabs came over to visit so the babies could meet their uncles and grandparents. 

Summer, Year 2 (Wrath Gen) Part 1

Karen is pregnant! In early Summer, Karen discovered she was having a baby. She and Malcolm prepared a room and a bathroom for the baby, decked out in orange. They went to a nearby park to take their maternity photos. 

The stress of marriage and pregnancy has been taking its toll on them, and they are not doing well right now with their marriage. As Karen’s pregnancy progresses, Malcolm and Karen slowly start resenting each other more and more. 

Spring, Year 2, Wrath Gen - Part 3

Geoffrey Landgraab came to visit mid spring, he and Malcolm talked on the porch for a while and shared good memories of old times. Malcolm and Karen got sick shortly thereafter and missed a few days of work to recover.
