Townsville 9/29/24

 Hamilton/Beckett:  The twins grew into children, Marylena gave birth to a baby girl, Brooke, and she is now pregnant again.

Carr/Charvat:  Emily had a boy, Tyler, and is pregnant with #2.

Tellerman/Deppiesse:  Jan and Abhijeet had a baby girl, Jill.

Cox/Bendett:  Kennedy and Marisa tried to get Kelsey into private school, but the headmaster got glitched (probably because Kennedy set the kitchen on fire and then blocked the way so the firemen couldn't get to it for several hours) and had to be deleted, thus ending the headmaster visit.  They'll have to try again next time.

Happy Simming!

Townsville 9/28/24

 Copur/Futa:  Wren became a child and Alvin earned a promotion.

Philippine:  Jane Philippine (formerly The Slob) was the first winner of the Last Sim Standing competition and, as such, she won $50,000, full townie status, and a makeover.  She has moved into town to start her life.  She's currently working in the Slacker career and is looking forward to making new friends (she lost most of her old friends in the competition, including her boyfriend).

London:  Willow grew into a child and baby Ryan was born.

Stratton/Gothier:  Jordyn had her child birthday, Piper was born, and Christy is pregnant again.

Fancey/Sims:  Justin became a toddler.

Centowski:  Chloe reached toddlerhood, Sophie is pregnant again, and the family adopted another kitten, for a total of three cats.

Barthelet:  Andrea must be feeling her age creeping up on her because, even though they have a child, twin toddlers, and an alien baby on the way, she decided they should have yet another and has consequently become pregnant once again.  That'll make five, or possibly six (should one of them have twins), children for them in a very short period of time.  They are definitely moving to a bigger place - stat!

Happy Simming!

Townsville 9/27/24

 Pederson/Trimble:  James celebrated his child birthday and met Chloe Gonzaga, who he can now grow up with him when he becomes a teen.

GilsCarbo:  Ricky is dating townie teen Hailey Chin.

Happy Simming!

Townsville 9/26/24

 Barthelet:  Andrea gave birth to TWINS!!  AND they have an alien baby on the way as well, so they'll have a full (or rather a bursting-at-the-seams) house in no time.  Their apartment is luxurious, but they'll need to move asap because two bedrooms isn't going to be enough once the twins and the new baby (or babies?) get a little older.

Cormier:  Rusty became a toddler.

Hamilton/Beckett:  Marylena broke off her "fake engagement" to Andrea, but she and Grant still can't get engaged/married, so there must be yet another phantom relationship.

LeTourneau/Tellerman:  Komei got abducted!

Cox/Bendett:  Kelsey grew into a child.

Dennis:  Summer became a toddler and Wendy and Trevor are expecting their first baby together.

Happy Simming!

Townsville 9/25/24

 Copur/Futa:  Ivy and Alvin threw a housewarming party with all their friends invited.  It didn't make them too popular with their neighbors, however.

Fancey/Sims:  Melissa is continuing to cheat on Amin with both Neil and Brandon and the consequences are about to catch up with her, as her last date with Brandon ended with a lullaby.

Centowski:  Sophie had a girl, Chloe.

Happy Simming!

Townsville 9/24/24

 Lillard:  Brandon has begun having an affair with Melissa Fancey.  He's now juggling three women.

GilsCarbo:  Joey grew into a toddler and Sandy is now on maternity leave (again).  Goopy and Sandy decided that the twins should both get jobs in order to help out with the family's finances.  Ricky got a job in Culinary and Vicky in Dance.

Happy Simming!

Townsville 9/23/24

 Fancey/Sims:  Melissa and Amin had a baby boy, Justin.

Barthelet:  Catherine grew into a child.

Carr/Charvat:  Joe and Emily moved out of their tiny apartment and into a sizable house with plenty of room for their growing family.

Copur/Futa: Ivy and Alvin moved to the duplex that was recently vacated by Kennedy and Marisa.  It's a lot roomier and has a yard for Wren to play in.

Tellerman/Deppiesse:  Jan and Abhijeet remodeled the house a bit to make room for the baby when it comes.

Thayer/Dennis:  Wendy moved Trevor in, and he was all set to propose, when I realized he had a memory of getting engaged to Valerie Hollmo, who he didn't even know.  I had him break up with Valerie who, incidentally, had no knowledge of their engagement, and then he was able to propose to Wendy.  They wasted no time in tying the knot and Wendy is officially Mrs. Dennis now.  They built an addition to the house (a new master bed/bath), so the kids could each have their own room and Eric got into private school.

P.S. Breaking things off with Valerie did not rectify the situation on her side - she and Benjamin remain in limbo with her thinking they're engaged and him thinking they're not.  Neither has the option to propose or break up with the other, so I really don't know.

Happy Simming!

Townsville 9/22/24

 I will be updating families that have significant events only, so as not to bore you with the details of them going to work, cleaning their houses, etc.

GilsCarbo:  Twins Ricky and Vicky grew into teens.  Ricky is Romance/Pleasure, while Vicky is Romance/Popularity.  Their parents also announced that they are expecting another baby, even though they don't have enough money for groceries at the moment.

Cox/Bendett:  Kennedy and Marisa moved their family to a small house across the street from Wendy Thayer.

Happy Simming!

Townsville 9/20/24

 Cormier:  Ricky Cormier married Tosha Go and they have twins, Bree and Luke, who are now children and a newborn, Rusty.  Ricky works in the Slacker career and Tosha's in Culinary.  There's not much drama in their lives, though Ricky did develop a little crush on one of his co-workers, Caryl Perry.  So far, it hasn't been anything more than that, but time will tell.

Hamilton/Beckett:  Marylena Hamilton lives with her boyfriend Grant Beckett and their twins Sarah and Scott.  She is currently expecting the couple's third child.  Marylena has had the want to get married for quite some time, but the option is not there.  I eventually realized that Grant thought he was married to Ricky Cormier.  I was able to invite Ricky over and have Grant break up with him, but still no option to propose appeared.  I've now discovered that Marylena is also "fake engaged" to Andrea (Hogan) Barthelet.  They're not close enough to invite her over yet, so I have to work on that and try breaking them up as well.  In the meantime, they'll continue to work on their careers (Marylena in Politics and Grant in Law) and take care of the kids.

Carr/Charvat:  Joe Carr and Emily Charvat have been together for a while but have only recently become engaged.  And not a moment too soon, as they've also recently discovered they're having a baby.  They'll have to look for a new place to live, as their one-bedroom apartment is far too small, but luckily, Ricky makes good money as a Criminal and Emily is at the top of the Slacker career, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Copur/Futa:  Ivy (Former teen) Copur lives with her fiancĂ© Alvin Futa and their daughter Wren, who is a toddler.  Ivy is desperate for a vacation, but they can't afford it at the moment.  Alvin was unemployed for a long while, only just recently getting a job in Science and Ivy doesn't make much in Education either.  On top of that, they'll have to move soon, as they can't keep Wren in their room for much longer.  It'll likely be another apartment, because no way can they afford a house right now, but hopefully it'll be large enough for them to have some breathing room. 

LeTourneau/Tellerman:  Brandi LeTourneau and Komei Tellerman are engaged, and they work in Slacker and Culinary, respectively.  They are childless and have no immediate plans to get married.

Tellerman/Deppiesse:  Jan Tellerman lived alone for a long time, and she was happy about it.  However, things recently took a dramatic turn when she became engaged and then pregnant with Abhijeet Deppiesse's baby.  Abhijeet has quite a history.  He was engaged to a woman named Marielle Seifert, but she died unexpectedly.  He then met and got engaged to Wendy Thayer.  They had a son, Eric, together and Wendy got pregnant again.  During this time, Abhijeet met and started having an affair with Jan.  He ultimately decided to break things off with Wendy and propose to Jan.  He moved out immediately and took up residence at Jan's place.  Now he has another baby on the way, but he's already thinking about cheating on Jan with Shelby Barrett.  Little does he know that Jan also has a secret - she's been dating David Toyanoga for a while and didn't bother to break things off with him when accepting Ab's proposal.  It's probably only a matter of time before their relationship implodes as well.  (P.S. Ab has topped Slacker and Jan is working in Medicine.)

Thayer:  Wendy Thayer isn't one to spend a lot of time crying over spilled milk.  After her breakup with Abhijeet, she moved on with Trevor Dennis.  Things are going well, and she expects a proposal in the near future.  Until then, she is focused on raising her two children (Eric is a child and Summer was just born) and hopefully, getting back to her job in Law Enforcement as soon as possible.

And that's the end of the round!  I may continue to update each round, or I might wait a few rounds to let some drama occur.  We'll see.  Until then, Happy Simming!

Townsville 9/19/24

 Stratton/Gothier:  Christy Stratton lives with her boyfriend Cooper Gothier and their toddler daughter Jordyn.  Christy is in the early stages of her second pregnancy, but she's still waiting for that ring.  She works in the Science career and Cooper is at the top of Law Enforcement.  They also have a couple of cats, which means their apartment is getting pretty crowded.  Should they have a third child, they'll probably need to start looking for a bigger place.

Fancey/Sims:  Melissa Fancey and Amin Sims are engaged, have a child daughter, Jessica, and another baby on the way.  Melissa works in Law Enforcement and Amin in Culinary.  Melissa is having an affair with a fireman, Neil LeTourneau, and she's very interested in getting to know Brandon Lillard better.

Centowski:  Orlando Centowski and Sophie Miguel recently had a destination wedding in Takemizu Village, and they brought home a souvenir - Sophie is pregnant!  Sophie enjoyed the culture in Takemizu so much that she wants to buy a vacation home there.  Unfortunately, they spent so much on their trip that they'll need to save for quite a while to make that happen.  In the meantime, they'll raise their child (and their cats) and continue to further their careers (Orlando in Architecture and Sophie in Medical).

Barthelet:  Andrea Hogan met Nicholas Barthelet while on vacation in the Far East.  They later got married and had a daughter, Catherine, together, who is now a toddler.  It seems as though the marriage might have been only for convenience on Nicholas's part, however, as he's having an affair with April Lee (The Diva).  Andrea is in her second trimester with their second child now, so she's on maternity leave from her Culinary job.  Nicholas works as a Slacker and loves to stargaze in his free time, which has caused him to be abducted several times, though never impregnated....until now.

Happy Simming!

Townsville 9/18/24

 Cox/Bendett:  Kennedy Cox and Marisa Bendett live together with their toddler daughter Kelsey.  Kennedy works in Medicine and Marisa in Politics.  They're engaged, but no wedding plans have been made yet.  They have a good amount of savings and Marisa wants to buy a car, but there's only room for one vehicle at their current residence (Kennedy already has a truck), so they might consider moving soon.

Long/Hollmo:  Benjamin Long lives with his girlfriend/fiancĂ© (there seems to be a glitch with their relationship - he proposed and she sees them as engaged, but he doesn't, even though he's had the want to get married for some time, so he seems to be aware of the engagement on some level, but neither of them has the option to get married) Valerie Hollmo. Ben works as a Slacker and Val is in the Criminal career.

London:  Randy London married Meadow Thayer and they have two little girls, Merry (child) and Willow (toddler), and a third child on the way.  Meadow works in the Education career, though she hasn't been to work in quite some time because of maternity leave.  Randy works as an Adventurer, but was recently demoted, so he's feeling a bit dejected.

Happy Simming!

Townsville 9/17/24

 I've decided to do a brief intro into each family and then update when interesting things happen.  I've played through several weeks of the "reality show", but no one else has died, so that's been pretty boring.  The families in town are as follows:

Lillard:  Brandon Lillard lives alone.  He works in the Criminal career and has two love interests, Dagmar Bertino (a mail carrier) and Arcadia Bradshaw (a repair person).  Since they are both NPCs, should Brandon decide to move in either of them, they will have to compete in the Last Sim Standing show (and win, obviously) before being allowed full townie status and, therefore, the chance to move in for real and live out their lives.  Given that Brandon is a Romance/Pleasure sim, it's unlikely he'll get serious with either of them, so it's probably a moot point.

Pederson/Trimble:  Ivy (Adult Copur) Pederson married townie Matthew Pederson, and they had a son together, Michael, who is now a child.  According to my notes, Matthew became horribly glitched in some way and I had to kill him off.  Consequently, Ivy has met a new man, Derek Trimble.  They are engaged and also have a son together, James, who is a toddler.  Both Ivy and Derek work in the Science career.  To date there have been no wedding plans.

GilsCarbo:  Goopy GilsCarbo married Sandy Bruty and together they have four children: twins Ricky and Vicky, Marty, and Joey.  The twins are nearly teens, Marty just became a child, and Joey is a newborn.  Sandy makes pretty good money in the Criminal career, but it's still tough to support a family of six on one income, as Goopy is a stay-at-home dad.  Add to that the necessity of building additions to their home to support their ever-growing family......and you can see why they're perpetually broke.

To be continued...

Happy Simming!

Amazonia 9/15/24

 Final update for Amazonia:

Clan Games:  Queen Marpe has given birth to two more daughters, as well as another son.  Her oldest daughter, Ainia, has moved to Clan Cuisine.  Daughters Hipp and Alcinoe are a teen and a child, respectively.  They will both be moving to Clan Science in the near future.  Eumache has also reached adulthood and added a daughter, Antiopeia, to the clan.  Both women are currently expecting.

Clan Nature:  Iphito became a teen and revived Clan Nature.  It's been a lot of hard work getting the clan going again, but she now has the lot cleaned up, the garden growing, and the shop thriving.  She could really use a little extra help though, as she'll soon be old enough to start adding babies to the clan.

Clan Tinkering:  Pantariste is still hanging in there, though she's getting pretty old, with no sign of anyone joining her clan in the near future.

Clan Cuisine:  Molpadia became an elder.  Antiope grew into an adult and Bremusa into a teen.  Bremusa has moved to Clan Fitness, while Antiope has given birth to two daughters, Antimachos and Deianeira, who are a child and a toddler, respectively.  Antimachos will join Clan Sports when the time comes.

Clan Fitness:  Alkaia and Doris both gave birth to boys before aging up to elders.  Hippomache, Penthesilea, and Eurybe all moved to their respective clans.  Hippothoe gave birth to a girl, Philippis, followed by a boy who went to live with his father.  Philippis plans to stay in Clan Fitness and Bremusa joined the clan as well.

Clan Sports:  Harmothoe has not managed to add any more girls to the tribe, birthing a whopping four boys in a row after Derinoe.  Hypsipyle has not done much better, bringing twin boys and then a third boy into the world before finally producing a girl, Areximacha.  Hippomache recently joined the clan, but she and Derinoe are still teens and not yet able to add to the ranks.

Clan Science:  Lykopis was joined by Penthesilea and, together, they have really expanded the compound.  After finally reaching adulthood, Lykopis is now pregnant with her first child.

Clan Arts & Crafts:  Eurybe has founded the clan and is working hard to build it up on her own.  Hopefully, she'll be joined by other Amazons soon.

Total current Amazon population is 26.

Male population is 30.

I'll be moving on to Townsville now.  Happy Simming!
