Chapter 1 – Introductions and Backstories – Desie Simmer's Sharing Corner

Dawn and Dominick Collins are the parents and the founders of this family.

Note: I made Dawn myself and downloaded and put Dominick in the neighborhood:

These two have been together for the past 25 years and have gone through a lot together:

Dawn Collins moved to Windenburg from Oasis Springs to start over because relations with her parents became too strained. Unfortunately she was never able to repair her relationship with her parents but when she found a kindred spirit in Dominick after moving to Windenburg she knew she was going to be all right and they started their new life together.

◊Dawn and Dominick Collins’ Children and Their Children’s Partners◊

–Clarissa Collins–

This is their oldest daughter, Clarissa Collins. She is a kind, loving, and creative young woman who loves her family and is very passionate about her art. Clarissa is in her zone whenever she paints in her corner in her “studio”.

Maybe soon I’ll have my own art studio, Clarissa thought. And a less crowded house. (You’ll see what I mean when you met the rest of the family who all live under one roof)…

In the meantime, Clarissa is pretty content and on the verge of becoming a famous artist and she recently opened up her own floral arrangement business as well. She loves to spend time with her family. Clarissa has a fiance, the well known character Salim Benali who is a budding author, and they have a son together, Conrad Collins. For some reason Clarissa and Salim just haven’t tied the knot yet but still plan on marrying each other and spending the rest of their life together.

Clarissa Collins and her son Conrad Collins:

Here is the lovely newly engaged couple here:

Salim Benali, as many of you know, is an aspiring writer and has rose through the ranks of the writer career over time. He is now starting to gain fame for his writing , just as Clarissa is gaining fame for her wonderful art. Salim is still lazy, as is one of his personality traits, and that does cause tension sometimes between Clarissa and himself. Clarissa thinks he could have been even further along if he took the extra initiative. Nevertheless, he is a great father to their son Conrad.

–Colten Collins–

Colten Collins is one of the twins of Dawn and Dominick Collins. He has always been a little more rambunctious than his twin brother Camden. He takes after his father and is into working out and sports. His father is a bodybuilder whereas he is a professional athlete and could soon gain some fame himself. Although he just does it for the love of the game. His girlfriend, (shown with him below) is a townie. She is Joelle O’Neil from the O’Neil family. These two are both a little wild and aren’t always careful, which irritates his twin brother’s fiance Michelle O’Leary. The house is already so full, so they are having a hard time in their relationship because of this full house.

Michelle keeps wondering when Camden will say enough is enough and move them out? It may be sooner than the rest of the family wants, as they aren’t as bothered by the house’s occupants. Camden and Michelle are childhood sweethearts though and their relationship is strong.

–Camden Collins–

Camden Collins, the other half of the Collins twins, has always been more ambitious and studious through his whole life and takes life more seriously than his brother but he has a hard time confronting his brother most of the time.

There is the family in a nutshell. I hope you are intrigued to follow their stories and enjoy their journey in Sims life.
