Dharma is Back!!!!

 It's time for Dharma to make a reappearance in response to requests from my children.

Here's Dharma, in her rather old fashioned kitchen, mourning her dear departed father.  You know, the guy who left her millions and a big house all to herself.  Well not quite.  You see Dharma shares the house with twins Aria and Lyrica Harmony , and their darling grandmother,  Momma Harmony

Dharma has finally decided to tackle her homework, after a full day spent skipping school and attending an art class.  Hmm, wonder how that will affect her grades.  Yeah, right.  Like she cares.

Aww.  Look it's Lyrica and Ariel's sweet little granny.  Wonder how managing a household with three rambunctious teenagers will work out for her.  She's also mourning The Gecko, even though she never even met him.

Dharma has wasted little time making a dent in The Gecko's fortune.  She has completely redone the master bedroom to suit her own taste.  Very nice, Dharma.  But remember - Daddy's money won't last forever. 

Yeah, ok.  What the hell, Momma Harmony?  What are you doing in Dharma's bedroom this time of night.  I assume that you're just feeling sorry for poor little Dharma.  If I were you though, I would spend my down time putting locks on my bedroom door and getting myself some mace.  Just sayin'.

Sunday

A very early morning donation to "pools without ladders". Geez Dharma, isn't that how your Dad died? That's kinda sick...
Dharma is in an introspective mood today, so she heads out to Simhenge for some peace and quiet. It's truly an awe-inspiring place to be.
And the energy here is conducive to homework too. Later Dharma finds some rubies and other uncut gems. Cool.
Stopping by the bookstore on the way home, Dharma runs into Gypsi L'yon, one of her mom's closest friends. Soon, she is Dharma's friend too.

Now this is why teenagers need supervision. A cookie for supper, Dharma? Really? You should know better than that.

Saturday in the Park

Dharma decides to get out of the house and stop moping around today. She heads to the park, does a little reading and then...
Steals candy from a baby. Wow - Dharma. Really.
Hey - who knew the people of Riverview were so politically active. They all seem to be protesting the clowns at city hall. Art imitating life? Dharma takes this opportunity to tell a complete stranger about her dad. Dharma is really having a hard time dealing with The Gecko's death. Shouldn't her mom at least check up on her?
Dharma and Aria spend a little time at the park playing chess and eating from the random picnic baskets. One of Dharma's half-brothers is there too, but Dharma doesn't even notice him. She's having too good a time with Aria.
Dharma decides that she would like to just be friends with Aria, at least for now. Aria doesn't take that too well, and the two girls have a little tiff. But they make up soon enough and by the end of the evening are best friends forever.

Dharma Alone

Today, Dharma must face her life without her beloved father. They were very close, and Dharma is devasted at the prospect of life without him.
Well, maybe devastated wasn't the right word. Or is Dharma just trying to fill the hole in her heart by making a new friend? Right now, Dharma is confused. She's a healthy, rich, attractive teen with no rules and no supervision. She can do anything she wants, but she still misses The Gecko.
Here's Dharma sending off a donation to undermine charity. Usually this makes her quite happy, but right now all it does is remind her of her dad.

Tragedy Strikes the Gecko House

The Gecko seems to be taking an early morning swim. But is that a wall surrounding his beautiful blue pool?
That was no casual early morning swim. It seems that his past life has caught up with him. The Gecko's enemies from his drug lord days have found him at last. They have arranged a little "accident" for The Gecko. Oh - the horror.
The Grim Reaper has come to usher The Gecko into the next life. (Does that mean Sims IV?) But what about his 12 kids. Please, have some pity...
No pity for The Gecko. And will we get to see his ghost wandering around in Speedos? The horror - really.
Dharma gets home from school too late to save her beloved daddy. At least someone will mourn The Gecko. But what about Dharma? Will she go live with her mom and sister now? Or --- she's got over a million simoleans in the bank and a huge mansion all to herself. Gee, what do you think?

The Gecko Strikes Again

Dharma and her dad share a nice little underwear moment before she has to go to school. Put some clothes on people!
Here's The Gecko, making a lovely nutritious breakfast for his beloved daughter. He really is a model dad. That is, if you don't count his other 11 kids that he doesn't pay attention to.
Dharma's off to school, so The Gecko invites over Yuri. Yuri is Celestial's fiancee, not to mention the father of her son, but so what? The Gecko convinces him to break up with Celestial. Yuri really doesn't deserve her anyway, falling for The Gecko's line so easily. Why can't he see that The Gecko is just after one thing?
And he gets it.
Dharma gets home from school and finds her dad gone to the gym. A package has arrived in the mail for her. Oh! It's the really pretty emerald she found at the cemetary, all cut and polished. Pretty!

The Gecko - Nothing if Not Persistent

The Gecko wakes up this morning around 3:00 and finds teenager Aria playing on the computer. Is it just me or should he really put some more clothes on before trying to make friends with a teenager? EEEEWWWWW.
The Gecko has been thinking a lot about Yuri since the last big showdown with Celestial. He invites him over to see if they can pick up where they left off. I guess making silly faces at each other seems like the way to go.
And it seems to work - up to a point. Yuri is fine with making out, but when The Gecko tries to take it a bit farther, Yuri refuses. Not one to give up or take no for an answer, The Gecko just keeps on trying.
And that's where Dharma walks in. Dharma is none too pleased to find The Gecko making out with her mom's fiancee, although she seems to be much more upset with Yuri than with dear old Dad. I guess that she's just used to his shenanigans. Yuri quickly decides that he has somewhere else to be, and Dharma has The Gecko help her out with her homework before dinner. And so it goes...
