Ingrid Mills

Ingrid Mills is one of the first 28 sims to live in the newly named Revale.

## **Before Revale**

Ingrid grew up in Oak Hill with her mom, who was a single parent. Ingrid never met her dad, and she never felt the need to ever meet him, either. In her mind, it wouldn't have made much difference, since she had a happy childhood with her mother as her only provider.

Ingrid's mom had learn how to fix electronics as an occupation, as she didn't have a college degree nor many abilities she could profit off of. She also learn how to fix cars and sell them to used cars garages, which gave her more than enough money to take care of her child.

Ingrid learnt from her mom how to repair electronics and cars from a young age, and found that she could also benefit from such knowledge to start making money of her own. Later in her teen years, she learnt how to fix the plumbing of her house, and started offering it as a service as well.

When Ingrid graduated high school, she skipped on the opportunity of going to college, because there wasn't anything she really wanted to study, and began working on a business she had been planning with her mom; their own car agency. Ingrid and her mom dedicated their days to fixing old cars and selling them in their car agency for low prices.

Unfortunately, Ingrid's mom got really sick all of a sudden, and it didn't take long before she passed away.

## **During Oak Hill's Migration**

After her mom's passing, Ingrid left Oak Hill for a while. She closed her business until she got back, and headed over to the countryside to free her mind from what she'd been going through.

When Ingrid came back, she was very surprised when she saw the town had changed in such little time. She heard people talking about the strange weather changes, people getting sick, the water surrounding Oak Hill becoming dangerous, with bigger and stronger waves, as well as heavy wind that damaged people's belongings. Ingrid wasn't very surprised, though, when families started to move out, which meant that her business wasn't doing as well as it once had.

## **After Oak Hill's Name Change**

After Lincoln Schneider, the new Mayor of the town, assured everyone that the place was safe to live in once again, Ingrid tried to get her business going once more, but it wasn't as easy, as she had more cars in her agency than people were in town. Therefore, she dedicated herself to working as a repairwoman, helping the other sims repair their appliances, electronics and their plumbing.

Ingrid had never given much thought to ever starting a family of her own, nor even finding a partner she could potentially get together with, but she couldn't deny the sudden feeling of loneliness she felt, even with her busy schedule.

When Ingrid met Ben, she was sure that she liked him more than she had ever liked anyone, and believed that he'd be a good person to spend the rest of her life with, but she also didn't want to rush things as she feared he would think she was moving too fast, so she gave him space, while still having a great relationship with him.

Ingrid realized she was pregnant very early, and she was very excited to have a baby. It had never been Ingrid's life-goal, but she couldn't deny the excitement and the happiness that come over her when she realized that, not only was she having a kid, but she was having a kid with Ben.

However, although she tried to keep a positive mindset and a smile on her face, she really was devastated when Ben told her they shouldn't move in together. She had thought they'd be a family, but Ben didn't want to, apparently. Either way, he would still visit them from time to time.

When Ingrid got pregnant again, she demanded from Ben that he visited them more often, as she still had to go to work and she couldn't leave her kids alone at home. She started noticing that Ben acted weirder every day, and he looked more stressed and restless every single day, but didn't confront him right away.
