DeBateau: Beaumont finally got hired on as a teacher's aide. It may be wishful thinking, but Melanie is hoping he'll make the most of this opportunity for a change.
Loner/Tang: Meredith is really moving up the corporate ladder with yet another promotion. Madhuri had only just gotten settled into her position as a horoscope writer, when she was told they were switching her to sports, which she knows very little about. She's going to have to study up asap.
Happy Simming!
Weir/Langerak: Mary invited her brother Conner and his girlfriend Bianca over to celebrate Mario's birthday. She had missed hanging out with her brother and it was nice to get to know Bianca a little better. Early the next morning, Martha went into labor, delivering a baby girl who she named Candace. She's not sure how she's going to cope with starting over with an infant at her age, but what choice does she have? She'll make it through somehow.
Peterson: Melora has been distracted by things at work recently and has let her animals' training lapse. She needs to get more focused on them or they'll never be successful as service animals.
Happy Simming!
Cleveland: Now that Alice is old enough to help take care of Martin, it's a huge load off Cybil's shoulders. She can finally focus more on her career and shoot for that promotion she's been after for a long while.
Wilson/Broke: Ruby, Danielle, and Trigger are all settled into their new home. It's taken a little adjustment since they're not used to actually sharing a space, but it's working out well. Now if only Trigger could get drafted for a sports team, life would be great.
Happy Simming!
Vandermorgan: Lyla gave birth to a son named Erik and she's more exhausted than ever. Between trying to work, caring for an infant, helping the other three with homework, and keeping up with the house, she never has any time for herself. Not to mention that the neighbors keep "dropping by" to complain about something or other. She also hasn't had any luck convincing Arty to move in yet. Life is really hard for Lyla right now.
Cordial: Barbara and Danny were relieved when the twins decided to rent an apartment together Downtown. It's not that they wouldn't love having them home, but space is an issue in their tiny house. Marilyn is nearing her teen years and Barbara's biological clock is ticking. She'd like to try for another, but Danny is firmly against it.
Happy Simming!
Karana: Chandra and Thuyet finally scraped together the money for a new bed for Aaron. They immediately moved him upstairs and found a boarder to move into the downstairs bedroom. Hopefully this will help them cut down on expenses enough to finally get ahead.
Bear: Tyler decided to enlist the help of the matchmaker and she set him up with a woman named Kendal Kalson. They went to the museum in town and had a very nice first date. He thinks he might just want to see her again.
Happy Simming!
Contrary/McCullough: Both Edward and Angel scored promotions at work and now they're working the same hours, which gives them more "together" time. Edward is hopeful that all the shared time will lead to an engagement.
Cho: Ever since Maya started dating Aaron Karana, he's all she can think about. She's really hoping he'll ask her to go steady. Her parents continue to be poor role models. She saw her father flirting with Lyla one afternoon when she returned from school, and she knows what her mom is doing when she goes "out with the girls". She can't wait to go to college someday and get out of this mess.
Happy Simming!
Patel: Karan finally finished his mystery novel, "Of Womrats and Sims", and is ready to start a new project. He's just not sure what that's going to be yet. Keesa was finally successful in breeding her Persian with her Birman. She can't wait to see how the kittens turn out.
Martin: When Rebecca announced that she too is pregnant with his child, Joseph thought she'd jump at the chance to make their relationship more permanent but, unfortunately, she's still stalling on that front.
Happy Simming!
Rutherford: As if Geoff's affair wasn't enough to stress Leandra out, he's recently discovered that he's pregnant after an alien abduction. She's not quite sure how to spin this one. Should she cover it up or use it to gather support from the alien community?
Contender: Isabel continues to live a fairly solitary life. She did get a new cat, which brings her total to three, so at least she has some companions.
Happy Simming!
Baldwin/Shibata: Benji spends a lot of time polishing up his skills for work these days. Benjamin gave him some tips while stargazing; it was nice to spend some time together.
Gonzaga: So much has changed for Jerome lately. He's had a couple of dates with Alexandra Teatherton. It's going well, but early days yet. But the most dramatic change has been adjusting to his new role as a father. He's always known that Cam was his son but was never given the chance to be a part of his life. Then one day he turned up on his doorstep, having been left there by his mother, and Jerome's life changed. They have good days and bad, but they're figuring things out together as they go.
Happy Simming!
Over in Belladonna Cove...
Mole: John is all settled into his new apartment at Twin Palms, a new building in Belladonna. His family invited him Downtown to celebrate his graduation from college and his new place. No luck on the job front so far, but he's got some saving to tide him over for a bit.
Monty/Peterson: Jessica invited her parents over for Josh's birthday. She can't believe he's going to be starting school soon. They grow up so fast. It won't be long now before the new baby arrives, however, so she won't have too much time to dwell on it. Claudio got a promotion at work and used his bonus to continue working on the car lot.
Happy Simming!
Cleveland/Chesterson: Jason got promoted at work, which was great for their finances. Stella's most recent litter of puppies will soon be old enough to sell, so she'll be bringing in a little more cash. She decided to get a jump start on the next litter as well and successfully encouraged her dogs to breed.
Gieke: Shortly after the twins' birthday, Carl and Lucy had them tested and discovered that Amanda is developmentally impaired. It was definitely a blow, but they're trying to roll with it as best they can.
Happy Simming!
Jacquet: J'Adore Bakery is really struggling, and Yves doesn't know what to do about it. Customers are unhappy, but he's not sure why. It's becoming stressful for him and he's beginning to think it might be best to let Gilbert take over sooner rather than later.
Greenman: Rose continues to live a quiet life at one with nature.
Cooke: The twins had their birthday, which was quite a small celebration since Julien and Gloria don't have any family. Gloria is already thinking about having another baby, but Julien's not quite ready.
Happy Simming!
I've had some real trouble with the Tinkers. I played them twice yesterday only to have them crash both times. So today I had to move them out and replace their house. Luckily, they seem better, as I was able to play them through this time.
Tinker: Noah celebrated his birthday. Unfortunately, his older brother Stephen was unable to make it to the party. His parents got him a puppy though, so he wasn't too disappointed.
Happy Simming!
Ramirez: Juan and Theresa welcomed a bouncing baby boy who they named Luis. They won't have much time to adjust to having a baby in the house before Juan gives birth, so they really have to hit the ground running with this one.
Delarosa: William and Mary are considering getting a pet. Since they know they're not going to have any more children at this stage of their lives, they think it might be fun to "raise" a puppy or kitten.
I played the Tinkers about halfway through the day before my game crashed. I didn't feel like reloading, so I'll play them again tomorrow. Happy Simming!
Picaso: Jessica finally won a cooking contest with a delicious cheesecake. The money was very helpful, since First Down is still struggling.
Mendoza: Carmen has convinced Makoto that he is the father of her baby. He's set to move in immediately, but she's holding him off for just a bit until she's sowed all the wild oats she has left. She wants to try to make it work this time.
Happy Simming!
In Bluewater Village...
Larson: Alvin and Elise invited the twins over to celebrate Paige's birthday. Paige was excited to see her siblings because she hasn't spent much time with them since they went off to college. They'll be graduating soon, however, and Jodie may be moving back home for a bit, so the sisters will have a chance to bond then.
Zarubin: Darryl has begun dating Sharon Martin and he's over the moon. His brother Greg hasn't found anyone just yet, but he's sure the right girl is just around the corner. Damion finally finished his novel, the fourth in a series of sci-fi adventure books titled "Devastation".
Happy Simming!
Mashuga: Frankie's dog Libby gave birth to a litter of puppies, one male (Hunter) and one female (Sadie). He'd love it if one of them developed their father's spots, but he's pretty sure they're going to resemble their mother when they grow up.
Newbie: Betty spent her day off cleaning and trying to potty train Billy. Bob jumped in to help with the cleaning, but it was just for show. She knows he doesn't work that hard when she's not around.
Happy Simming!
Goth: Mortimer and Bella are officially empty nesters now that Montgomery is heading off to SSU. It won't be too much longer until Alexander graduates, though, and they're hoping he'll move back home.
O'Mackey: Jason and Gvaudoin had a family celebration for little Penny's birthday. All the grandparents were in attendance, as well as Gvaudoin's extended family. Unfortunately, Jason's brother Gabe and his wife Elizabeth couldn't make it. Seeing his baby growing up so quickly has made Jason even more determined to talk his wife into another.
Happy Simming!
Bachelor/Jones: Chris' shop is doing very well - so well that she's thinking it might be time to start thinking about opening a second location. Right now, they're still debating the merits of moving to either Belladonna or Bluewater once the baby comes. While Belladonna does offer some interesting choices, Chris is leaning towards Bluewater because she feels there's more potential for growth there.
Goodie: Faith met someone, Hannah Wirth, who she's really hit it off with. They've talked several times on the phone and are planning to meet up at some point. Faith is really excited about having a new friend.
Happy Simming!
Dreamer: Davis has been put on desk duty. They called it a "promotion", but he knows it's because of his age. They don't think he can handle being on patrol anymore.
Kat: Tara was thrilled when a teenage boy brought her beloved Maggie home. She gave Darryl a reward for his efforts and offered him a soda before he headed home. Darryl is still not sure what happened. He heard screams coming from outside and ran to see what was happening. He was shocked to find Tara in flames. He tried to help her, but it was too late, she was gone. The police came and took his statement, as well as rounding up all Tara's cats. They said they'd make sure they got good homes.
Happy Simming!
Matlapin/King: At long last, Darleen got the proposal she's been waiting for. She didn't want to waste any time planning an elaborate wedding, so they had a simple affair at Woodland Park. She invited her dad, but he didn't show up. Nevertheless, the wedding went off without a hitch and Darleen is now Mrs. Adam King. She couldn't be happier.
Gavigan: Nathan met Alexandra Teatherton recently and thought maybe there was something there, but they soon realized they're just not that into each other.
Happy Simming!
Tinker/Taylor: Stephen finally got hired back on at the lab. Now he just needs to keep his head down and avoid further scandal.
Oldie: Mary Sue is finding her work in construction to be quite interesting. Her co-workers are not very friendly, but her magic has been useful.

Happy Simming!
Hick: Elden's puppies have grown into huge dogs and his small trailer is unbelievably crowded at this point. He'd love to move to a bigger place, but it's just not in the cards financially.
Broke: It's business as usual for Flat and Flo. Flat's still plugging away at his day job and Flo works on her paintings. They are excited about the fact that they'll soon be grandparents though.
Broke: Buck has really not been getting along with his sister-in-law lately. He thinks she knows something about his affair and that's why she's harassing him all the time. As long as she doesn't inform his wife, he doesn't care.
Happy Simming!
Back in Pleasantview...
Burb: Nothing much ever really changes for the Burbs. They're pretty content to carry on as usual without drama. Brad tends his orchard and writes his cookbooks, Tiffany spends her free time reading or preparing her lectures for work, and John is an unambitious, simple man who enjoys the small things in life.
Oldie: Herb can't eat, he can't sleep, he is completely consumed by thoughts of Jessica. He hasn't yet convinced her to go out with him, but he's sure it's only a matter of time before he gets what he wants.
Happy Simming!
At Academie Le Tour...
Boggs Hall Dorm: Alexander Goth finally got the nerve to flirt with his crush, but she wasn't very receptive to his advances. His confidence shaken, he retreated to write his term paper and regroup.
Romara Dorm: Ana graduated finally and couldn't wait to move Downtown to be with Caliban. Interestingly, her parents and younger brother recently moved to Downtown as well, so she'll get to spend more time with them also.
Lam Plaza Dorm: Denise and Lucia have been spending more time together and have become good friends. Shane is a bit more studious than either of the ladies, so whenever he's off writing term papers or doing assignments, it's girls' night out!
Casteroff Dorm: John graduated at long last and decided to get a fresh start by moving to Belladonna Cove. He'll be close enough to his parents in Desiderata Valley that he can still make it to family events, but far enough away to establish his own identity.
Mille House Dorm: Don and Kristen graduated and moved into Don's family estate in Old Town. Living in a mansion is going to be a bit of a culture shock for Kristen, but hopefully she'll soon grow accustomed to it.
And that's it for another round! Happy Simming!
