Pleasantview 6/29/25

 At LFT Tri-Fruhm (see PV 4/17/25) we have the same four members: Claire Carr, Claire Dreamer, Katy LeTourneau, and Sydney Jacquet.

    Claire Carr finished her junior year with a B, had a date with girlfriend Mackenzie, and threw a toga party.

    Claire Dreamer also finished junior year.  She scored an A+, did some financial consulting for extra cash, and had a date with Jordan Hanby, even though she has the want to get engaged to Brian Ryan.

    Katy also pulled off an A+; she will begin her junior year next round.  She had a date with Tyler Tellerman.

    Sydney Jacquet is continuing her path of excellence with another A+, maintaining a nearly perfect GPA of 3.8.  She also had a date with Jason Fancey, though he was rolling wants for other women the entire time, so I'm not sure if things will ultimately work out for them.

Oresha-Hoh-Var (see PV 4/18/25) is down to two members: Brian Ryan and Ray Picaso.

    Brian had an outing and a date with Claire Dreamer.  Maybe he heard about her and Jordan?  He finished the semester with a B-.  He'll begin senior year next round.

    Ray asked a dormie on a date, but she friend-zoned him.  Luckily, she did agree to attend the toga party the boys threw, and she and Ray are now friends with the potential for romance (3-bolters!), so maybe that will develop in the future.  Ray finished the term with a B; he'll finish junior year next round.

Canyon Commons Dorm got two incoming freshmen: Jake Alpha and Trinity Wong.

    Jake is majoring in psychology and planning to be a business owner.  He did well this term, earning an A+.

    Trinity struggled the entire semester; college is rough on vampires.  She was not able to attend class during the daytime, so I allowed her to do one assignment per day instead.  She only managed to complete two and had to go to her final in broad daylight, so she only earned a C-, but at least she survived.  She also had the want to join a Greek house and pledged Tri-Fruhm; she didn't get in, however, because a dormie locked Sydney Jacquet in his room until after the timer had run out.  I locked in the want though, so she can try again next round.

Oasis Dorm (see PV 4/18/25) still has just one student: Simon Korman.

    Simon did well again, maintaining his 4.0 GPA.  He decided to take up a hobby making toys and so bought himself a toy bench.  He also decided to join the frat house.  He got in easily and will move in there next round to start his sophomore year.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 6/28/25 Round 6

 As we begin a new round, I want to mention that I had an idea for another legacy of sorts to add to my rotation.  Since I've changed the way aspirations are assigned, I no longer have a way for sims to obtain the Grilled Cheese aspiration.  Consequently, I've decided to create a "cheese cult", which will be played along with my other legacies in Bluewater.  I have my founder and an apartment lot which will serve as a compound.  I'll get into the rules I've set for myself more when I play the lot, but it'll be sort of a hybrid between a legacy and a baby challenge, with a pretty loose rule set.  Anyway, let's get on with today's update....

David Ottomas (see PV 4/15/25) had a terrible round.  First of all, he was sick the entire time, which made skilling for class much more difficult.  Then, he had a date with townie (and Slob) Chris Jones and got rejected for a photo booth woohoo.  As if that wasn't enough, the cow mascot (who David despises) crashed his party, causing problems for everyone, including David's parents (his mom is now furious with his dad).  In the midst of all that chaos, however, he did manage to graduate with a meager 2.8 GPA.  He'll spend his final semester on campus working to earn money for an apartment, as he doesn't need a master's degree for his career goals.

At Urele-Oresha-Cham (see PV 4/15/25) there are still two students: Ross Grundstrom and Jordan Hanby.

    Ross graduated with a B+ for the final semester and a 3.2 GPA overall.  He doesn't need a higher degree for Dance, so he'll be working next term.  He'll be leaving Uni with a student loan balance of $5627.

    Jordan finished his junior year and is heading into senior year with a 3.1 GPA (he made the Dean's List this term).

At Sim State Dorm (see PV 4/16/25) there are now four students: Jay Broke, Anthony Tellerman, Leo Deppiesse, and Zaira Jeffress.

    Leo is majoring in drama to pursue an Athletic career, while Zaira majors in physics for Gaming.  Everyone earned an A+, with Jay and Anthony becoming sophomores.

There were quite a few changes at Pinenut Plaza (see PV 4/17/25), which went from two to three students, then down to just one.

    Blaze Broke graduated.  I forgot to record his GPA, but it was around 2.6-2.8.  He moved out immediately and will be inheriting his aunt's mansion and fortune.  He'll likely move his cousin Moon in with him, as she's currently living in the homeless shelter.

    Lysandra Harris earned an A+, and called things quits with Blaze after seeing him flirting with the cow mascot.  She then decided to join a sorority and moved to Tri-Var at the end of the term.  She'll begin her sophomore year there next round.

    New student Garrett GilsCarbo didn't do that well academically (he has a 2.8), but he clearly inherited his father's appeal with the ladies.  He has three bolts for Lysandra, three for one of the dormies, and three for the cheerleader...so far.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 6/26/25 #2 Alpha and Latte Legacies

 It was another chaotic day with the Alpha Legacy (see PV 3/24/21).  The family made some progress with getting the new items stocked, but they have a long way to go still.  Coral gave birth to two puppies: Darwin and Dixie.  I'm really hoping they grow up to be normal looking.  As far as finding a husband for Danica goes, we had a setback because Damion Pearson (aka the Slob) was moved into base Pleasantview by one of his love interests, thereby rendering him ineligible for marriage into the legacy.  I tried to have Betty put Daniel Landry into a group and invite him over, but he was always "unavailable", so I guess he doesn't like her enough to come over.  Perhaps he'll be the cop who delivers the mate for the "D" generation pet heir, but that's kind of a long shot.  So, my plan is to keep an eagle eye out for male townies with D names because at the moment no one in the family knows anyone.  I may have to send Danica out at some point to actively look for someone, but she still has a few days of teenhood left, so the situation is not critical.

At the Latte house (see PV 3/24/21 #2), I spent a little money on some hobby activities for the elders (they've earned it) and Joy went to the café to earn some cash.  They have about a third of what they need saved up, so still a ways to go.  Back at home, Joy got her first pop, and I realized that Peter knows a dormie named Derek.  He didn't, however, know any of the Alphas, but I had him get friendly with Derek just in case.  And then (lucky day!!), Danica walked by!  I had Peter greet her and then invite Derek over so they could meet.  The only fly in the ointment is that Danica can't stand Derek; they had negative interaction after negative interaction.  But no matter because they will like each other once I get done with them lol.  Peter saved the day on that one.  In other news, baby Jocelyn grew into a toddler.

And that concludes this round of Pleasantview!  We'll begin again tomorrow.  Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 6/26/25

 Jared Starchild (see PV 3/21/21) went to work, then had an outing with friends.  I'm hoping that his crush on Tosha Go turns into something more in the future.

Allegra Phoenix (see PV 3/21/21) went to work and promptly got arrested and convicted.  I kept her in the household until after 6 p.m. to keep her aging in order, and then sent her off to prison, where she's been sentenced to 12 days (she might get paroled after 8 days).  Jimmy took a vacation day to stay home with the twins.  He did a little potty training and cleaned the trailer, then hired a nanny to watch the kids while he went out with friends and picked up some groceries.  I was planning to move the family to the bigger trailer with two bedrooms, but now that Allegra is out of the picture (at least for the time being), I think they can make it work here.  Cheaper rent is better, since they'll be living on one income now.

Bryce Futa (see PV 3/21/21) went to work, then had a date with Claire Ottomas.  I thought they might decide to move in together, but Bryce is not ready, so they'll continue as they are for the moment.  After returning from his date, Bryce finished working on his GED and will now begin earning his online degree for his eventual switch to Journalism.  With everything going on, he didn't have time to earn the body points he need for his current Athletic job, so he'll try to get that done next round.

At the homeless shelter...(see PV 3/22/21)

Ricky Cormier inherited some money from Sasha Dreamer, but didn't work.

Monica Bratford also had the day off.  She was arrested, but managed to get acquitted.

Andrzej Greaves worked his elder job and turned 70.

Moon Broke looked for a job in Dance (to no avail), did the crossword for logic, went to work, and then woohoo'd both Max Flexor and Andrzej in succession (she has the LTW to Woohoo 20 sims).  She got pregnant by Max, so we'll have a baby to look forward to in the near future.

Alvin Broke was not as lucky as Monica; he was arrested, convicted, and sent to prison.

Dale Futa had the day off and Law Enforcement did not appear in the paper, so he'll continue with Military.

**Some of these sims could technically move out, but for various reasons it doesn't make sense for them to do so, so they'll all (except for Alvin, of course) be remaining here.  Btw, Alvin's savings will be remaining in the care of the Servo who placeholds this unit, so they'll be available to him when he gets out of prison.

End homeless shelter

Sage Dreamer (see PV 3/22/21) got some much-needed rest upon returning home from work.  Then she invited some friends over, cleaned up the apartment a bit, and got ready for work again - this time in a much better mood.

Charles Grundstrom (see PV 3/23/21) did indeed get promoted; he now needs quite a few skill points, but he'll have plenty of time to work on them, as he's off for the next three days.  He and his girlfriend Chloe discussed having another baby but decided against it at this time.  Unfortunately for them, Fate had other plans, and they are now expecting baby #2.

Alan Korman (see PV 3/23/21) has plenty of skills for his next promotion, but he struggles to maintain friendships, so his career is stalled until he brings his friend count up.  Consequently, he was unable to come up with the rent.  He should earn enough next round to catch up, but if he gets too far behind, he'll be evicted.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 6/21/25

 Ashley Pitts (see PV 3/20/21) went to work, then went out for a while, before inviting over his next conquest to seal the deal.  He now has five notches in his bedpost and has rolled the want for ten.

Upon moving into her new apartment, Melissa Fancey had just enough money to buy beds for the twins and a chair to go with the folding table she had in inventory.  Unfortunately, she and Dalton had the day off, and Cheyenne is not able to get a job with her low grades, so no one was able to bring in any income.  Melissa didn't let that stop her from going out with her friends though; it's been a long time since she was able to do so.  While at the mall, she hooked up with Goopy (the twins' father), so I guess she's decided to let bygones be bygones.  Luckily, she's too old to get pregnant, so no worries on that front.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 6/20/25

 Kevin Beare (see PV 3/19/21) got a promotion and then threw a building party to celebrate.  He's saved up enough money to move to a better place, so he'll likely do that in the near future.

A lot of changes have occurred for Caryl Grundstrom (see PV 3/19/21).  The round started off bad but ended on a (somewhat) hopeful note.  Caryl did not get a promotion at work and was, therefore, unable to make a full payment on her student loan, which resulted in a substantial amount of interest being added to her balance.  However, upon returning home, she finally found her dream job in Business and then had a romantic dinner with Joel Hanby at Londoste, during which they decided to move in together.  She will, of course, be moving to his place because, despite him having two roommates, his place is much preferable to the hole she currently lives in.  They celebrated with a little woohoo that ended in a lullaby.  I really hope it all works out for these two, but I have my doubts given that Joel is involved with (at least) two other women (which I know because he simultaneously rolled wants to marry all three during his date with Caryl).  Even though the pregnancy complicates things, the couple has decided to keep the baby and make the best of it.

Isabelle Greaves has just moved into Las Casas Baratas and she's already struggling.  She didn't find a job in Athletic but took one in Law Enforcement.  Unfortunately, she was off on the first day, so no income.  After purchasing a bed, she has $26 left to her name.  She went out with some friends, but didn't have a very good time, as they were playing poker and she couldn't afford to play.

Life is not going to get back to normal for Morgan Alpha (see PV 3/20/21) just yet.  She got a promotion at work and then found a job in Natural Science, which was great.  However, what was not great was the fact that she hooked up with Ashley Pitts from across the hall and is pregnant once again.  She's literally slept with two sims and got knocked up by them both lol.  She will be giving up this baby also, as she's in no position to raise a child.

Since I last played Martin and Greg Dreamer (see PV 3/20/21) some drama unfolded.  It seems both guys were involved with Alyssa Picaso (a married woman) and Greg caught her with Martin, which caused a rift between the brothers.  I decided that if they didn't patch things up by the end of the round, I'd move one of them out.  The day progressed and Martin ran his business and had a date with Calista Fuchs, who he is absolutely smitten with.  Unfortunately, she's not the commitment type and has no interest in getting more serious at the moment.  Since his only other love interest is Alyssa, who's unavailable to him, he decided to make his own family and spawn a plant baby, Helen.  Greg had a date with (also married) Christy Ramirez, during which his other brother Brad showed up and, while Greg was in the bathroom bathing little Helen, he and Christy started making out in the living room.  Evidently, Greg is involved with (yet another) married woman, who is involved with (yet another) one of his brothers.  The guy can't catch a break lol.  He didn't see them together, however, and Christy left shortly thereafter, so it's a problem for another day.  These brothers not only have a predilection for married women - they keep falling for the SAME women!! 😲 (Note: Since Martin and Greg are on pretty good terms again, I kept them both living here for now.)

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 6/19/25

 Emily Lee (see PV 3/19/21) spent a quiet day at home, catching up on some chores.  She went out with friends in the evening and managed to bump up her friend count.  She's still working on the body point she needs, however.

Jasper Roseland (see PV 3/19/21) spent the day trying (and failing) to recover from the mysterious disease.  Later, he went out with friends and took a job in Show Business, as Music has yet to appear.

Gunnar Roque and Jasmine Rai (see PV 3/19/21) did not have much going on this round.  Jasmine had the day off.  Gunnar worked, but was short a cleaning point, so didn't get promoted.  He invited some friends over before work and he and Jasmine had some steamy alone time after.

Calvin and Noah Latte (see PV 3/19/21) both worked (Noah got promoted), then they went out for dinner, where Noah attempted asking several ladies on dates, but was rejected each time.  Upon returning home, Noah worked on skills for his next promotion.

Jessie Pilferson (see PV 3/19/21) went to work, then went out with Daniel Larson.  They had a great outing which earned her a body point.  At home she rolled the want to study physiology, which I thought would be useful, given that she needs another body point for work.  She still has not found a job in Music, so she'll stick with Show Business for now.

Sydney Greaves and Alyssa Larson got settled into their new apartment at Village Condos.  They didn't have a ton of money for furnishings, but they've got the essentials.  Neither was able to find their desired job, so they took jobs in Culinary (Syd) and Dance (Alyssa).

Happy Simming!
