Pleasantview 7/24/20

Today we'll catch up with Lisa and Shawn Wong.  Lisa is the oldest daughter of Stephen and Summer Landgraab (we met Stephen earlier); her mother died when she was a child and she and her brother Eric went to live with their dad and his long-time girlfriend Tess.  Stephen and Tess have nine children together, which means Lisa has ten younger siblings.  Shawn is the vampire son of Maura Wong and Matthew Picaso.  His parents are the founders of the vampire lot I started a long time ago (before Vamps Gone Wild) when I wanted to get more creatures into my game.  Shawn is one of ten kids (though one of his sisters died young; she wasn't good at being a vampire).  Maybe this is why they've decided not to have any children, although Shawn does have one daughter that was the result of an affair he had with Brooke Larson.  He's never met her and presumably doesn't know she exists.  Lisa is at the top of the Intelligence career and is considering switching to Architecture once she uses up all her vacation time.  Shawn is still working his was up the ladder in the Culinary career.  This round they had a nice night out in Bluewater and adopted a puppy.

Next up are River and Meadow (Thayer) Todd.  They are both former townies, so they have no family apart from their son Stone.  River has reached the top of the Athletic career and will use up the rest of his vacation time before switching to Criminal, which could spell trouble for this couple if he gets sent to prison.  The relationship is already a little strained given that River is a werewolf and his personality is not too nice, not to mention the fact that they've both been unfaithful.  Meadow is working in the Science career and her LTW is to have six grandchildren.  Hopefully they'll have at least one more child so that that doesn't fall solely on poor Stone's shoulders.  For now Stone is just a happy child, having a blast playing with all his toys and his pets.

Next we have Sasha Dreamer's family.  Sasha is the daughter of Brandi and Darren Dreamer (we met her brother Drake and twin sister Chelsea earlier).  She has three remaining siblings and one adult daughter, Donna, who lives with her.  Donna's father is Brandon Tellerman (son of Jodie and Komei), but she only me him briefly once when she was a child.  Sasha's nephew Quentin (Chelsea's son) also lives here; Sasha raised him when his mother decided to join the commune.  His father is actually Alexander Goth, who is now deceased; I don't think he ever knew him.  Quentin has always been especially close to his Aunt Sasha, as well as his cousin, who is more like his sister really.  Sometimes it's a real struggle for him though because Sasha and Donna do not get along at all and are always arguing about something.  Recently Donna had an affair with Erik Swain which resulted in a pregnancy.  Before the baby was even born, Donna had moved on with Orlando Centowski and decided to live with him.  The house is not exactly big (only two bedrooms), so since Donna and Orlando are both vampires, they've installed their coffins in what used to be the den and built a very tiny nursery at the end of the hall nearby.  Donna's daughter was born this round (she named her April) and she and Orlando decided to immediately try for another one.  I don't know where they'll put the new one, but I guess we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.  Sasha may pass away before the new baby is born, which would free up her room.

Lastly, we have Tosha Futa, who is the widow of Alvin Futa.  There was a significant age difference between the two, which meant that Alvin died when their two sons were still young.  Tosha has raised her boys on her own ever since, occasionally dating, but never finding anyone she wanted to settle down with.  Her oldest son, Bryce, is out on his own now and her younger son, Blake, became a teen this round.  This is great news for Tosha, who can finally stop paying the nanny to watch Blake before school and then hanging around doing nothing all day.  Not that money is terribly tight, but still.  Tosha has a good job in the Science career, after already topping Medicine.  I'm hoping she finds someone to settle down with soon, because by the time Blake grows up, she'll be an elder.

Happy Simming!
