 Tricou:  Everyone is anxiously awaiting the birth of the newest member of the Tricou family.  Jennail can't wait to meet her new little one.  At her age, pregnancy is incredibly challenging and she's looking forward to being done with it.

Happy Simming!

 Wolosenko:  Rebecca has been trying to stay on good terms with Joseph, for the sake of their child, but the more he talks about marriage, the more she realizes that she's not ready to commit - she may never be ready for that.  She's also not sure she's cut out for motherhood and has been giving serious thought to asking Joseph to raise their child on his own.  He's already a father; he must be more qualified for the job than she is.

Smith:  Her side business notwithstanding, Dagmar is doing exceptionally well in the field of Oceanography, which is more than she can say for PT, who has very little ambition.  He's still working in a convenience store and seems perfectly content with that.  Dagmar wants more out of life than that and can't understand her husband's complacency.

Happy Simming!

 Traveller/Wirth:  Trisha was such an exemplary waitress that the owner of the restaurant decided to give her a chance in the kitchen, which is just the opportunity she's been waiting for.  Tina also got a new gig as a birthday party mascot.  So far, she's enjoying the kids' parties, but she knows there are bigger and better things waiting for her in the future.

Miller:  Opal's parents don't seem any the wiser about her arrest, which is a load off her mind.  She just needs to be extra careful in the future.

Happy Simming!

 Ejess:  No sooner had Maida and Owen moved their family into their new apartment, than it was condemned, and they had to move right back out.  Luckily, they were able to find a place nearby in a brand-new building - Contemporary Condos.  Now that they're finally settled, they can turn their attention back to their careers.  Kevin was disappointed to learn that there aren't any teens living in the building, but at least the neighbors have some little ones about the same age as Logan, so he'll have some playmates.

Happy Simming!

Megahood 10/24/22 (Downtown)

 I've successfully moved all the families out of the Sim City Apartment Complex, and they'll be played in their new homes.  Right now, I'll be moving on to Oak View Condos, which is next in the rotation.

Cho:  Etokas decided to turn his office into another bedroom and invited his friend, Camryn Lee, to be his roommate.  Hopefully, he'll finally be able to make ends meet.

DeBateau:  Armand invited a friend, Melanie Bransfield, over to hang out.  He wouldn't mind if she became more than a friend, if he's honest.

Patel:  Ramir got a promotion, but still no luck moving into the field he's really interested in.  At least he's been able to avoid Armando lately.

Mendoza:  Armando has been hyper focused on his career lately, but he wouldn't mind getting back into the dating scene.  The only problem is all the women he meets are far too young for him.  He's afraid he wouldn't have anything in common with them.

Happy Simming!

Megahood 10/21/22 Update #2

 After playing the next household and having the game crash upon the save, I have determined that it's the building that is the problem, so I'm in the process of relocating all the residents to other buildings and then I'll likely have to bulldoze this one.  It's one of my older builds and it's far too big and cluttered in the common areas, which has made it a problem in the past.  I'll be sad to see it go because this is the last copy I have of it and it's not in the bin, but if it becomes unplayable in every 'hood eventually, then it's not worth it, especially considering that I had four household here, that I now have wasted significant time playing with no progress actually made, and now I have to move them all anyway.  Soooo, that's what I'll be working on.  Not sure when I'll have an actual post, but hopefully soon.  Until then, Happy Simming!

Megahood 10/17/22 Update

 I should've had an update for Vivian Karana and perhaps the next family, but for some reason Vivian's household kept crashing on me.  I played all the way through the first time, and it crashed on the save.  The second and third times I only got to somewhere between four and eight p.m. before it crashed.  I don't know if it's the family or the building, but I decided to move them to a new building.  Viv can't really afford this apartment anyway.  So, she'll be played (again) later in the rotation, as she's still living Downtown.  I'll try to pick up with the next household in this building next time I play, but if the building is the problem, I may run into the same issues and have to move everyone out, which will be a huge pain, but what else can I do?  It may be a few days, however, as I've got plans for the next few days which will limit my simming time.  Until then, Happy Simming!

 Beaker:  The Beakers suffered a tremendous loss when Bjorn died suddenly of apparent heat stroke.  They had him cremated and he now resides in the Strangetown Crematorium.  The family is still in shock; however, they continue to move through their lives as best they can.

Happy Simming!

 Caliente:  Gina graduated high school and she'll be off to Academie Le Tour soon.  The family also celebrated the twins' birthday.  Dina and Nina were happy to spend some time with all their younger siblings, especially the youngest members of the family.  The next thing on the agenda is to get Ricardo into private school with the other kids.

Happy Simming!

 Caliente/Go:  Dina asked her girlfriend Celeste to move in right away.  They've settled into a good routine of sharing household tasks.  Celeste was lucky enough to get a job interning for a local political candidate, but Dina hasn't found anything in her field yet.  She's got plenty of time since she had a good amount of savings when she moved in.

Ramaswami/Cody:  Tiffany's employer was very understanding about the baby; he even promoted her to wait staff and said her job would be waiting for her when she returns from maternity leave.

Happy Simming!

 Salamis:  Circe's fears were confirmed when her father caught her mother in bed with another man.  Apparently, it wasn't the first time he'd walked into a situation like that either.  He demanded a divorce immediately.  At first, Circe was furious with her mother, but then she learned that her father would be moving to Belladonna Cove to live with his girlfriend and the young daughter he'd fathered.  How did she not know how dysfunctional her parents' marriage was?

Happy Simming!

 Dottore/Woodrow:  Cole got a job as a dolphin tank cleaner, which is not glamorous, but it's a start.  Meanwhile, Olivia got a promotion at the lab, so things are going well for this couple.

Dreamer:  Darren and Goneril couldn't work out their schedules, so they decided to just get married at the courthouse and plan their honeymoon for later when they can get the time off.  The only guests in attendance were Darren's parents and Goneril's sister Regan.  She didn't invite the rest of her family because, honestly, she didn't want them there.  They always make everything about themselves and she just didn't want to deal with them on her wedding day.

Happy Simming!

 Dane/Capp:  Since the Calientes decided not to move after, it means there isn't any available real estate in Strangetown.  Consequently, Cornwall and Regan will have to move Downtown instead, which is not their first choice, since their jobs are here.  At least the commute won't be terrible and it's not as if they have a choice in the matter; their family has outgrown their apartment and they simply must move.

Happy Simming!

Megahood 10/8/22 (Strangetown)

 Curious:  Lola and Chloe are still mad at each other, but they're mostly avoiding each other for the moment, much to the rest of the household's relief.  Vidcund really wants to move his girlfriend in, but his parents have asked him to wait until Simeon leaves for college, since they're pretty tightly packed in right now.  Simeon still hasn't brought his grades up and now Minerva is slacking as well.  Will the chaos never end?

Grunt:  Things are finally looking up for the Grunt family.  Chip is in line for a promotion, and they've saved up a bit of money so that Missy can expand her business, maybe even get some walls or something.

Happy Simming!

 Tellerman/Specter/Raymond:  Olive is thrilled to have her son home from college and is happy to meet and get to know his girlfriend Opal as well.  Jeff was hoping he and Olive would have more of a honeymoon phase before adding sims to the household, but it's Olive's son, so he can't really complain too much.  He seems like an okay kid, in any event.  He jumped right into the workforce as a lobbyist and Opal got a job as well, though she's been less than forthcoming about what the job entails.

Happy Simming!

 Gieke:  Chester is all settled into the trailer park.  It's only temporary, of course, because as soon as he gets accepted into the military, he'll be moving to the base.  In the meantime, he's enjoying meeting his new neighbors and some of the sims around town.

Una:  Natasha is also living in the trailer park.  She and Chester have hit it off.  It's nice to see a friendly face around the complex, since she's not used to living alone.  She was very lucky to find an opening at the lab right away, so income won't be a problem.

Happy Simming!

 Nigmos:  Creon knows Andrea is ready to get married immediately, but he wants to hold off until the girls are at least close to going to college.  It's not that they don't get along with Andrea, but he feels he ought to give them as much of his attention as possible in the absence of their mother, at least until they don't need him anymore.

Delarosa:  Florence has been working hard for a promotion, but it just keeps eluding her.  What does she have to do to get noticed?

Happy Simming!

 Norman:  The more time Albany spends with Melanie, the more he wants to ask her out, but he's not sure she'd be receptive to the idea.  Her husband has cheated before and she was very hurt by it, so would she be willing to become involved in an affair of her own?

Capp/Newbie:  Brandi has gained a lot of weight during her pregnancy, so she's started doing some light ballet exercises on the barre.  She's hoping to get a jump start on losing the baby weight once she gives birth.  Kent could probably benefit from some more workouts himself, as he's not getting anywhere as an athlete with that spare tire hanging around his midsection.

Happy Simming!

 Ng:  Samantha loves being back at work.  She even got promoted!  She does miss her little guy at home though, so when Alon suggested they might start working on having another, Sam was game.

Summerdream/McGreggor/Beaker:  Titania thought it would be weird when her friend started seeing, and subsequently moved in with, her father, but overall, the transition has been relatively painless.  She and Erin are still friends, and they joke about the possibility of Erin becoming Titania's stepmother.  That will be a reality sooner than Titania thinks, however, since her father has proposed to Erin, but before they could announce the happy news, Titania went into labor, delivering a baby boy named Ethan.

Happy Simming!
