Whatever happened to…?
Jancine Landgraab? Jancine was Malcolm senior’s second wife who’d cheated on Malcolm with Dan over in Veronaville. Malcolm, you may remember, had realised Jancine (his second wife) had cheated on him and threw her out. She moved in with her lover, Dan, and married him. Their daughter’s name was Jasmine (after one of Dan’s earlier conquests). Unfortunately Dan was old and he died, leaving no will and his much older legitimate daughter wanting the house to herself. Jancine and child were thrown out yet again.
Locked out
Jancine moved to a tiny two-storeyed house in Veronaville and looked after her daughter on a pittance. She got fired from her job just before retirement so got no money and eventually got a low paying job as an elder before she was fired from that too. Jasmine ended up earning money from the money tree (a mere 40 simoleons at every harvest). The most Jancine ever had was about 6,000 simoleons.
Jasmine grew well and went to uni but dropped out. She returned home with enough money to make the tiny house a little larger. Jancine hoped Jasmine would find a nice man to marry and live in a nicer, larger house and have babies. She wanted to be a granny.
Jasmine had other plans though. She wanted romance so she paid the gypsy woman for a blind date. But she didn’t choose a male. She chose a female.
The date went very well and Jasmine starting having feelings for the blonde woman. Unfortunately once the woman left, Jasmine had no way of contacting her. Jasmine complained to the gypsy woman who offered to give her another blind date – for a price. Jasmine paid more and expected someone better – perhaps prettier. To her disgust the second blind date turned out to be an old woman! Jasmine was angry – she’d paid thousands of simoleons and for what? She ended the date immediately and asked the gypsy woman for another date. She was determined.
Lo-and-behold a dark-haired young woman fell from the sky and looked dazed and confused. She asked Jasmine where she was and when Jasmine informed her that she was at her house in Veronaville and about to have a date with her, the woman was distressed and said she was engaged to a (male) student at Academie le Tour. Jasmine had had enough – was this the best the gypsy woman could do? She let the young woman go and turned angrily on the gypsy woman.
The gypsy woman was happy enough to try again – after all, she’d been paid well and was ready to go home. This time a young black woman was Jasmine’s date and Jasmine fell in love. She forgot about the gypsy woman and had a wonderful date and even better, she got the new woman’s phone number. Her name was Celeste Cameron.
Jasmine and Celeste got on very well and Jasmine invited Celeste to move in, which she did, bringing another 30,000 simoleons with her. Now they could (and had to) extend the house adding a wing to both storeys.
Jancine was rather shocked but accepting and she was the only guest at Jasmine and Celeste’s union. Jancine did mention to Jasmine that she wanted to be a grandmother so Jasmine said they’d eventually adopt once the house was finished and they had good jobs.
Christa Landgraab? Malcolm senior’s third wife. She married Dominic Brown and they had two kids – a girl and a boy. They lived in the house opposite the Landgraab residence. Dominic had a job in the military and Christa was a gamer when she wasn’t looking after the kids. Dominic finally got a really good promotion, bringing in lots of money when there was a thunderstorm and one of the trees outside caught fire. Dominic ran out, perhaps to put out the fire, or just to watch, but he got too close and burned to death.
