Melvin Thorneapple is a respected writer, writing novels which he sells to make a living. Even if the family is not very rich, it counts like a family of the better class, and sends the sons to college. They live in a house by the village square.

Thorneapple House, front, winter This house is built with the experimental modding techniques of the Lot Adjuster by Mootilda of MTS2, still in testing and not available for download.	Thorneapple House, back, winter It was originally built on a small lot, then expanded and rebuilt to go to the edges, then reshrunk. I have not had any problems yet playing it.

Melvin Thorneapple, now an old man, is married to Dianna who is the mother of his 4 children. Their marriage, however, is not a good one.

Even when the sons came to visit the fights didnt stop.. Melvin is a family sim, and has big problems with Dianna being a love sim. Dianna had several affairs. This doesn't give Melvin the right to beat her regularly, the way he does! This being in the old sim times though, Dianna doesnt have much choice other than to stay in the marriage. Melvin also had an affair with a village neighbour, Cora Sparks. So its not like he is much better himself.

Melvin having a late supper and crying about his marriage. Maybe he has a heart after all?

Uh-oh, Cora came to visit, again pregnant.. wonder who the father is, her husband Oscar, or?..

Cora comforts Melvin.
