The Renfield Family – A Sims 3 Legacy Challenge

(05) Warning Signs

__________________________________________________________

Rhoda is pleased with Eliza and her handiwork, and she quickly pushes her through the Criminal ranks.

__________________________________________________________

Now at the top of her career track, Eliza finally spends her savings on building a real house.  She loves the durable fencing to keep intruders out and the dark, cozy basement in which she can hide and feel secure.

__________________________________________________________

Best of all, she’s got her own evil office for plotting and entertaining her shady business associates.

__________________________________________________________

Sherman keeps showing up, though, and Eliza doesn’t understand why.

__________________________________________________________

Oh, right.  Kid.

__________________________________________________________

Holden’s also been growing closer to his aunt Rhoda who, unlike Eliza, actually spends time with him.

__________________________________________________________

When Eliza does interact with her son, she tells him about how he’ll someday take over the family business.

__________________________________________________________

Holden tries to tell her that he thinks he’d rather make music than be an evil henchman, but Eliza doesn’t take him seriously.

__________________________________________________________

Surely, these silly notions of his must be his father’s fault somehow.  To get even, Eliza sneaks over to the Bagley residence one night and steals Sherman’s car.

__________________________________________________________

It’s around this time that Sherman really begins to get nervous around Eliza.  Well, moreso than he already was.

__________________________________________________________

In fact, he’s taken to fainting when she shows up at his house unexpectedly.

__________________________________________________________

He keeps visiting his son fairly regularly, despite the fact that the house gives him the creeps.  Sherman knows he’s a coward, so maybe he’s just overreacting.  He puts on his most convincing smile and goes in.

__________________________________________________________

Sherman’s suspicions are confirmed, however, when Holden greets him with a warning :  Eliza’s been wishing to see his ghost lately.

__________________________________________________________

Eliza spends some more time in jail.  Seriously, she gets taken there at least once a week.

__________________________________________________________

As soon as Eliza is free again, she comes by to invite Sherman over for dinner the following night, and it does not help Sherman’s nerves that she is so very nice and pleasant about it.  She’s got a surprise for him — she’s done some remodeling in the backyard, and she’s sure he’ll love it.  Despite her cheerful tone (or rather, because of it), Sherman is not looking forward this.
