Pleasantview 5/31/25

 Jonah Powers (see PV 2/20/21) worked, had some friends over, and cleaned up the house a bit.  He also inherited $1000 from Sasha Dreamer, which will allow him to afford a repairman for the computer.

The Gothiers (see PV 2/20/21) spent the day teaching Anton toddler skills and adopting a new kitten, then threw a party in the evening.  

Delia Ottomas (see PV 2/20/21) had a much-needed day off.  She did some gardening, cleaned the house, and went out with some friends while the kids were off at school.  Later, she worked on teaching the twins to study, but neither of them quite got there, as everyone is sick and had to keep running to the bathroom.  In other news, Delia inherited some money from her dad, Nathan, and was able to remodel the house a bit to give Lily her own room.  They are still planning to move in with Luke asap, but they'll be here at least one more round, so why not?

Lois Tellerman (see PV 2/21/21) IS, in fact, pregnant with Joshua Ruben's baby.  Consequently, she was in a terrible mood all round (not helped by the fact that she's also sick with the flu) and was unable to go to work (not that she would have been promoted anyway because of the poor mood).  She took care of Cheryl (barely), got a repairperson in to fix the broken stuff, paid the bills, and tried to rest a little in between throwing up and passing out.  To top it all off, Gail has been falling behind in homework and now has a D, and Lois's date with Joshua went so badly (due to the constant passing out) that it nearly killed her.  The house is a mess, the kids will be taken away if Gail's grades don't come up, and Lois can barely manage to keep herself alive.  (She's also still broke.)  So, out of the frying pan, into the fire.  Poor thing.

Russell and Trudi Broke (see PV 2/22/21) both worked, but neither was promoted.  When they got home, the whole family went out to a cafe in Bluewater for the afternoon.  Trudi had her first pop later on and then broke the computer, preventing anyone from working on their studies.  Russell did, at least, get the skills he needs for his next promotion.  I also decided to expand the backyard a bit, adding some play equipment and a pool for the family to enjoy.  They've earned it after so many years in that trailer park.

Claire Tellerman (see PV 2/23/21) got her computers fixed and was thus able to finish her GED just before dawn.  She doesn't have enough money to start on her degree yet, so she'll need to do some more financial consulting to save up.  Jesse had a play date before aging up to teen and rolling the LTW for Architecture.

Zena Dreamer (see PV 2/23/21) did not get a promotion, but she and Nevada got a substantial inheritance from Nathan.  Zena used some of the money to upgrade the kitchen.  Nevada is still very sad about her father's passing; she spent most of the day crying.  Next round she'll grow into a teen.

Marie Mazza and Andrew Gergis (see PV 2/24/21) decided to get married this round.  They also both got promoted, so they've got a decent sum of cash on hand.  Since Theo will be growing up next round, I think they'll need to look into moving to a bigger house.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 5/30/25

 Darcy Broke (see PV 2/18/21) spent her Sunday cleaning the house, doing yoga, and working on her novel.

It was birthday time in the Gray family (see PV 2/19/21).  Michael grew into an adult, opted not to attend Uni, and will continue to live at home while pursuing a Slacker career.  Dante grew into a teen, rolling a LTW for Law Enforcement, and Harper became a child.  Aiyana got promoted at work and the family adopted two new puppies (litter mates from Amar Bigfoot's colorful pet project) and spent a little money on household furnishings.  Next round Jeannie will reach adulthood; she's still weighing her options with college, but she doesn't need it for Dance and, at the moment, she doesn't have enough skills to be accepted anyway, so probably she's not going.

Allyn Shahan (see PV 2/19/21) took a vacation day to care for Galen and work on her cleaning skill.  The twins both went to school, then Lawson took his friend Nevada Dreamer to the park for a little R&R.  He's a bit older than her, but it makes sense that he'd want to take her mind off the fact that her father recently passed away, and I don't think she's TOO much younger, so it may turn into something more once she joins him in teenhood.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 5/29/25

 Luc Young (see PV 2/16/21) had an uneventful round.  He spent his day off doing chores.

Joe Carr (see PV 2/17/21) reached the top of the Dance career this round, which is his second LTW complete (his first was topping Adventure).  He subsequently rolled Gamer for his new LTW and, since he didn't have any vacation days banked, looked for (and found) the job immediately.  On a side note, this family is incredibly wealthy, with $118,546 in household funds.

Elise Bruty (see PV 2/17/21) worked, had some friends over, and did some household chores.  I also noticed that she's in love with Orlando Bertino, which I guess happened on his last round, and I really like them as a couple.  We'll see how it goes.

Brandon Tellerman (see PV 2/17/21) got a promotion and Bruce had an outing with three ladies, two of whom he's romantically involved with, but managed to play it cool and avoid being slapped silly.

Annabeth Copur (see PV 2/17/21) earned a huge (chance card) bonus at work, but she's still short friends so no promotion.  In the evening, she spent some time with her brother AJ and sister Brittany.

Moving on to Pleasant Valley...

Tina Traveller (see PV 2/18/21) had an outing with some of her friends from boarding school.  While she was out, she met a couple of eligible men.  She also decided to adopt a toddler, who will arrive next round.  Back at home, Amar finally got the first litter of colorful kittens on the way.  In the evening, Tina looked for, but did not find, a job in Adventure and her parents' ghosts had a rollicking good time trying to scare poor Amar to death.  He only barely survived till morning.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 5/28/25

 Florence Delarosa (see PV 2/15/21) spent a quiet day at home with her four-legged friends.

The Cox family (see PV 2/15/21) spent the day at home, taking care of Phoebe and teaching her toddler skills.

Ty Bubbler (see PV 2/15/21) did not find a job in Music, he did not get promoted in Culinary, and he still cannot pay his overdue rent.  So...pretty much the usual.

This round was pretty quiet for Andrew Ottomas and family (see PV 2/16/21).  The twins went to school and Gideon caught up on his homework.  One of the cats died and a new kitten was adopted.  Next round the twins will reach adulthood and determine if they are college-bound and the new baby will be born.

Ryan Jacquet (see PV 2/16/21) had an uneventful round.

Happy Simming!

Tuesday, May 27, 2025

Pleasantview 5/27/25

 Miley Futa (see PV 2/13/21) did indeed die this round at the age of 74.  As soon as Blaze finishes college, he'll inherit everything (including the cat) and move in.

The Ottomas family (see PV 2/13/21) was uneventful.

Everyone in the Picaso household (see PV 2/14/21) had the day off.  Griffin taught Oliver to study.  Stuart worked on skills for his LTW.

Jace Lothario (see PV 2/14/21) took boyfriend Charles with him to the gallery.  They worked the event, made very little money, and went back home where Charles earned a charisma point for work.

Rebecca Larson (see PV 2/14/21) is enjoying the maternity leave part of her pregnancy at least.  Money for nothing, right?  In other news, both she and her mom had dates, but they were not particularly eventful.

Happy Simming!

Thursday, May 22, 2025

Pleasantview 5/22/25

 The GilsCarbos (see PV 2/11/21) had a pretty chill round.  Marylena worked on a new car, Adam worked on skills and got a promotion, and Garrett earned several skill points, which allowed him to get accepted to college.  He's headed to SSU.

Margaret Dreamer (see PV 2/11/21) had an uneventful round.  She appears to only have a few days left on her life bar.

Isabella Landgraab (see PV 2/12/21) worked but didn't get promoted as she's short friends.  Luckily, she brought home a co-worker, who later called to say he's her boss's cousin and she'll be getting a promotion next time she goes into work.

James Radcliffe (see PV 2/12/21) got a promotion, Isabella went out with some "friends" (she's juggling a whopping NINE love interests) but still did not find a job in Adventure, and I mistakenly said that Julie would be aging up this round when, in fact, it will be next round (for sure this time, lol).

Lynn Tinker (see PV 2/12/21) took a vacation day to run the business and made a pretty decent profit.  My original plan was to have her use up all her vacation days and then run the shop full-time, but I've changed my mind because it seems like a shame to waste the master's degree she worked so hard to earn.  So, the new plan is to have her run the store as much as she can (on regular days off and by taking vacation days) and try to hire a manager so that she can check in on days she can't get over there.  I feel like she'd want to keep the business going to pass on to one of her children, but that it's not really her passion, so she'd want to keep pursuing her career goals as well.

Happy Simming!

Wednesday, May 21, 2025

Pleasantview 5/21/25

 The Larsons (see PV 2/9/21) spent a quiet round at home since they both had the day off.  In the evening, Cody grew into a toddler and Alicia had her first pop.  The pregnancy has been pretty draining, so she didn't have a chance to work on her GED.

Lucas Broke (see PV 2/9/21) got another kitten (that's three cats total now) and decided to adopt a child, which makes sense as he, himself, is adopted.  I guess he wants to pay it forward.  The child will arrive next round.

Tammy Ottomas (see PV 2/10/21) had the day off which she spent caring for the baby and cleaning the house.  Griff went to work but, of course, did not get promoted because he was still short logic points.  He managed to get one point later on but still needs another.  He'll have plenty of time to work on it now that he's on paternity leave.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 5/20/25

 Omg guys, the Goth family (see PV 2/8/21) was super annoying this round.  I lost track of how many times I played them.  Every time I tried to save the game would freeze and/or crash.  I finally got through the day by saving every six hours, but even then, it crashed a couple of times.  I don't know what's up with this lot, but the end results were Stephan turning 70, Sarah reaching second pop, and everyone remaining alive (Rebekah died during one unsuccessful save).

Grace Butler (see PV 2/8/21) decided to move in one of her love interests, Damion Pearson.  Damion is a former Slob, with the LTW to top Culinary and a current job of Slacker.  Luckily, neither his current job, nor his desired one, require any education, which is exactly how much he has.  Grace worked, but didn't get promoted, as she is still several skills short.  Corbin grew into a teen, with a LTW to own 5 top businesses, and Charity became a child.  Corbin would like to attend private school, but even if there was room for him at Briarwood, they can't afford to send him.

Happy Simming!

Monday, May 19, 2025

Pleasantview 5/19/25

 Amelia Pearson (see PV 2/7/21) had one last trick up her sleeve - she's hanging in for one more round, with just a tiny sliver left on her life bar.  She will definitely be moving on next time though, after which Delia and the kids will move in.  In other news, Lane and Lee grew into children and I noticed that Luke's sister Stacy also named her son Lane.  Oops!

Carter Broke (see PV 2/7/21) got another promotion and began working on skills for the next.  Dylan hung around the house with friends, children, and grandchildren.  It looks like next round will be the end of the road for Dylan.

Happy Simming!

Friday, May 16, 2025

Pleasantview 5/16/25

 The Alphas (see PV 2/5/21) spent a quiet Saturday at home.  In the evening, they threw party, which resulted in some slaps for Bryan, but it's nothing he's not used to.  I am a bit concerned about the fact that Bryan seems to have "forgotten" that Chris Sims is his sister.  Belinda still recognizes her as family and the family tree is intact, showing Chris and Bryan as siblings, yet he now has chemistry for her which is just icky.  As if I didn't have enough to worry about with keeping Christian Cox away from his biological sisters, who were taken by the social worker and adopted by other people, now I have to keep Bryan and Chris apart too?  Yikes!

Toby Grundstrom (see PV 2/6/21) did not decide to move in with Claire, much to my disappointment.  He did roll to move in with Lila Ottomas, but I felt it just wasn't feasible, given that he'd have to take Roger with him and, when he dies (in probably 2 days?), Roger would have to move again to live with his mom.  Moving teens around is a pain and, since Toby would not have the benefit of completing his LTW with Lila, it didn't seem worth the trouble.  In other news, one kitten was born and Marcus and Melody's baby (actually, I suspect BABIES) will be born next round.

At the Jones/McCullough house, the guys worked and both got promoted, Audrey and Darlene cleaned up the house and worked on skills, and in the evening, they threw a party.  And that was pretty much it lol.  They're not super exciting, despite being a family of werewolves.

Happy Simming!

Thursday, May 15, 2025

Pleasantview 5/15/25

 Wanda Smith (see PV 2/4/21) did indeed meet her maker this round.  She was 72 and the mother of six children.  Life was always a struggle for Wanda, but she managed to persevere through it all.  RIP Wanda.  Weldon graduated high school, but did not get accepted to college.  Wanda's life insurance money will allow him to move out on his own, however.  Not sure where he'll be going just yet, but there are several rentals available, so I'll find something for him.  Violet Grundstrom called and invited Amar on another date, which went very well - he's smitten.  He immediately rolled the want to attend private school (Violet is at Briarwood), but there's no room for him at the moment and it wouldn't make sense to send him anyway since he's growing up in a couple of days.  Ruby will grow into a child next round.

Katie Tellerman (see PV 2/5/21) had some of the kids over to hand out college funds and spent the rest of the day hanging out with them.  Her cat ran away, which is sad; hopefully she'll be returned next round.

Happy Simming!

Wednesday, May 14, 2025

Pleasantview 5/14/25

 Things are looking up for Hailey and Evan Dreamer (see PV 2/1/21).  Evan did indeed return home with a promotion, giving them enough money for all the kids' college funds.  He went out to celebrate with friends and, later that evening, Brendan grew into a child and Hailey had her first pop.  Evan didn't have time to get the skills needed for his next promo, but he went back to work very early in the morning and got a chance card which promoted him again, bringing in a very nice bonus as well.  Now he needs a ton of skills, but it's okay because he has a ton of money to tide him over.  The only dark cloud was Hunter deciding to skip school yet again, which means he now has a D average (which is considered failing in this 'hood); he will be forced to go to school next round.

Megan and Travis Broke (see PV 2/1/21) both got promotions, Travis had some friends over, and Megan decided to build a sauna in the backyard.

Daniel Larson (see PV 2/2/21) ran the bookstore, where he continued training his employee to take over as manager.  Now that Lisa has "retired", it's even more important to get a new manager in place so he can focus more on the gallery.  Brooke and Bri both had days off again; Bri had some friends over.  Sabrina grew into a teen with the LTW for 20 pet bfs.  She may become a candidate for the commune in the future.

Tosha Go (see PV 2/4/21) decided it was time she figured out a way to earn a living and thus, she took out a business loan and bought a flower shop in Bluewater Village.  She believes there's a demand for an after-hours flower vendor, which will cater to customers who, for whatever reason, can't shop during the day.  Since Claire is a retiree, living on a pension with two sons in college, she'll be helping out at the shop in exchange for a cut of the profits.

Happy Simming!

Monday, May 12, 2025

Pleasantview 5/12/25

 The Futa family (see PV 1/30/21) was fairly uneventful.  Tosha worked, but did not get promoted because she was short a cleaning point.  When she got home from work, she and Blake went out to the rec center in town for a bit, then she finished up studying for her point and went to bed.

Mallory Andersen (see PV 1/30/21) got promoted and worked on skills for her next promotion.  She and Holly decided to adopt another child, who will arrive next round.  Their relationship is getting a little shaky, but they did some work to improve it.  Hope grew into a child.  Naomi had the day off from the rec center and spent most of her time either sleeping or playing the drums.

Solveig Platz (see PV 1/31/21) took another vacation day and worked on skills.  Next round she will reach retirement age.  Ratna worked, then went out with some friends.  Todd got a promotion and decided to adopt a toddler, which makes sense as he himself is adopted.

Lakshmi Broke (see PV 1/31/21) didn't see Calvin this round, so their relationship hasn't progressed to the marriage level.  Consequently, she needed a way to make herself feel young, so she did the obvious thing and decided to adopt a baby on her own.  I guess it's not the craziest idea, as she is quite wealthy, has a nice house, and already has six children, but still.  The baby will arrive next round.  Ricky tried to have an outing with some friends, but none of them but one liked him enough to show up, so he'll have to work on meeting and befriending some sims.

Jonathan Greaves (see PV 2/1/21) retired this round.  He's certainly earned his pension.  Demi got a promotion, and Emily grew into a teen with a LTW to earn $100,000.  I'm planning on a Business career for her.  She rolled the want to go to private school, so her parents sent her off to join her sister Kylie at Briarwood Prep.  They'll be sharing a dorm there.

Happy Simming!

Sunday, May 11, 2025

Pleasantview 5/11/25

 Zack Tellerman (see PV 1/28/21) retired this round.  Now he can focus on enjoying himself and spending time with family.  Jenna got in her outing from last round as well as a first date, which brings her up to 12 first dates (still a long way to go, but she's a vampire so...)  Tamara worked, but got a bad chance card that cost her a couple of logic points, so now she has a long way to go for the next promo.  She also got in a little "quality time" with Christian Cox, getting her closer to reaching her LTW.  I realized I had neglected to celebrate Joy's birthday last round, so I grew her up first thing in the morning to keep aging on track.  She's now a teen with a LTW for Intelligence.  Teddy will soon head off for college, which will free up a little space in this chaotic household.

At the commune (see PV 1/28/21), Lynn Broke had bought a dog from Myra Dreamer, so I let her stay.  Later on, Sam Thomas adopted a wolf, Baby, into the household as well.  I think I'm going to limit them to just the two pets, however, because I don't want to cut into the sim limit for the household.  Having a couple of pets on the lot will hopefully help Sam and Brittany Upsnott to complete their LTWs.  Though a number of sims and pets were greeted and interacted with, no one made any new bfs or romantic conquests.

Life continues to be relatively uneventful for the Wongs (see PV 1/29/21).  Lisa had the day off and invited some friends over.  She also adopted a kitten.  One of the dogs grew up.  Shawn went to work and came home to sleep for a while before dark.  Lisa wanted to become a werewolf and, since her friend Rhonda is a werewolf, I had Shawn influence her to fight with Lisa because I thought that was a thing.  But apparently, it's not.  Lisa did not become a werewolf and now she hates Rhonda.  Oh well.

Meadow Todd (see PV 1/29/21) still did not get the logic point she needs, but she'll keep trying.  River also did not find a job in Criminal, so he remains in Athletic.  Stone didn't have any luck finding cute girls either, so the whole family pretty much struck out this round.

Sasha Dreamer (see PV 1/29/21) passed away at age 80.  She lived a full life and died perma-plat.  Quentin had the day off and spent it skilling for his next promotion.  Donna and Orlando decided to get married and try for another baby.  

Happy Simming!

Saturday, May 10, 2025

Pleasantview 5/10/25

 The Lotharios (see PV 1/26/21) had an uneventful round.  I thought there might be some excitement when Randy greeted Eric Landgraab, who Heath is having an affair with, but despite him hanging around most of the day/night, nothing went down.  I also thought Heath might die, since he kept getting out of his coffin, no matter how many times I sent him back to it.  Eventually, I got tired of his stubbornness, and left him to his own devices at 2:30 p.m.  He went outside to look through the telescope, jumped rope, had a couple drinks at the outside bar - his needs tanked, but he didn't die.  Once the sun had set, he replenished his needs and was perfectly fine.  I swear, anytime I have a vamp I really like, if they so much as crack that coffin open before dark, they die instantly.  But Heath, who I'm honestly so tired of and never wanted to live forever, can spend hours outside in direct sunlight without so much as a sunburn. 😒

Happy Simming!

Friday, May 9, 2025

Pleasantview 5/9/25

 Noelle Dennis and Wyatt Picaso (see PV 1/26/21) threw a birthday party for Lincoln who became a toddler this round.  He's a very interesting looking child, with blonde hair, pointy ears, and angled eyebrows.  I'm looking forward to seeing how his genetics manifest in the next generation.

Bethany Alpha (see PV 1/26/21) passed away at the age of 66.  Her life began as part of a legacy, and it was a long, sometimes rocky, road she travelled, but in the end, she died platinum.  She leaves behind her long-time partner Drake Dreamer and three children (plus three sort-of stepchildren that she helped raise).  She will be missed.  In other news, Rhonda got a promotion at work and began skilling for the next one.

Happy Simming!

Thursday, May 8, 2025

Pleasantview 5/8/25

 Toby Bruenig (see PV 1/24/21) did not get promoted.  He crashed for a while after returning home, had a few friends over to watch a movie, and worked on his masters.  He went back to work at 3 a.m., only to get a chance card a couple hours later which led to him being fired.  Once again, Toby is unemployed.

Lisa Ramirez (see PV 1/25/21) decided that, in light of her daughter's pregnancy, she should quit her job at the bookstore in order to help out at the furniture store.  They worked together on Saturday, making a substantial profit, then returned home to rest up before dealing with the dogs and their constant messes.

Brad Dreamer (see PV 1/25/21) got a promotion, worked on skills, and spent some time with friends.  He must miss Marvin's kids, however, because he decided to have one of his own, and spawned a plant baby, Cody.  (This will make his mother Myra happy as well, as I think she has a new LTW for 6 grandchildren.)  He'll be taking a vacation day to spend with his new little one and work on skills needed for his next (and I think final?) promotion.

Happy Simming!

Wednesday, May 7, 2025

Pleasantview 5/7/25

 Paige and Lee Bruty (see PV 1/24/21) welcomed a new toddler to their family, a boy named Amin.  For now, he's sharing the nursery with Bryn.  Paige got a promotion at work, then came home to work on skills for the next one.  Lee had the day off, which he spent teaching toddler skills to the little ones.  The teens threw a party with all their friends, but it got broken up by the cops.  Shay decided that he'd really like to attend private school, and with his grades, it was doable, so he left for Briarwood at the end of the round.  Luckily, there was one spot left in Boys' Dorm B.

Marvin and Vyn Gieke (see PV 1/25/21) spent a lot of money furnishing the new house and getting a cat for the girls.  Consequently, their finances are pretty tight at the moment.  The stress of moving, money worries, and the impending birth of another baby has taken a toll on their relationship.  If they don't turn things around soon, it might be the end of their marriage.

Happy Simming!

Tuesday, May 6, 2025

Pleasantview 5/6/25

 Zoe Picaso (see PV 1/22/21) got a promotion at work, worked on some skills, had some friends over, and took care of the dogs.  She's nearing elderhood and seems content with the life she's made for herself.

Myra Dreamer (see PV 1/22/21) finally, at long last, achieved her LTW to raise 20 puppies/kittens.  This is, in fact, the very first time I've ever completed this LTW.  In other news, Ethan, Taylor, and Caryl all earned promotions at work, Ethan finished teaching the pets their skills, and Taylor began working on his GED.

Russ Bear (see PV 1/23/21) took the night off from stargazing to throw a party.  It was a very relaxed affair, but everyone had a good time.

Both Eugene and Agnes (see PV 1/23/21) got promoted at work; Agnes is nearing the top of Adventure.  They also decided the time had come to tie the knot, which won't really change much in their day-to-day lives.  Myrtle added another notch to her bedpost without Olive being any the wiser.  One of the dogs reached the top of their career, getting Oliver to the halfway point on his LTW.  Phyllis was rejected for a date.  Edgar grew into a child, and I got a bedroom set up for him, only for Olive to decide Edgar should go to boarding school.  Since the family has plenty of money, they shipped him off right away.  (I guess the thought of having to care for his son through child- and teenhood was just too much for him lol.)  Next round Audrey will become a child (and possibly be sent away too I suppose).

Happy Simming!

Monday, May 5, 2025

Pleasantview 5/5/25

 Sharlene Graham (see PV 1/18/21) taught Randall to walk.  Claire worked and then threw a party, which turned out to be dull.  The new baby is due next round, but it doesn't look like Joe will have much time with his new son/daughter, as I believe next round will be his last.

Orphanage Unit One (see PV 1/19/21) had six kids this round and it was Sunday.
Maya Tellerman earned $45 at work.
Mari Alpha earned $62.
Olivia Landgraab hung around the orphanage.  She may be a candidate for the commune in the future.
Kyra Broke grew into a teen and decided to get a job.
Michelle was given two new babies to care for: Keegan Alpha and Asia Kim.  She is still in love with Derek; their relationship will be decided next round.

Orphanage Unit Two (see PV 1/19/21) still has three kids.
Jeremy Landgraab went to school.
Beck Tellerman grew into a child and will start school next round.
Rachel Landgraab grew into a toddler.
Merlin has no romantic interests.

Kenny Ottomas (see PV 1/20/21) spent time with some friends.  Ella had her kids over, bathed the dog, and scored one new friend, but that won't be enough for her promotion.  She's running out of time, as she'll soon be retirement age.

Buffy Summers (see PV 1/20/21) finally got the jump on a vampire - Count Nery.  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to kill him off, as locking him into a cage did not stop him leaving.  I will have to try again next round if he comes by.  Maybe deleting the door will work?

The Landgraab household (see PV 1/21/21) was fairly uneventful.  Caryl worked in her shop, Billy went to school, Scott worked on skills, and Dustin grew into a toddler.

Chase and Alyssa Picaso (see PV 1/21/21) threw a party for Troy's child birthday that got broken up by the police.  That soft jazz they were playing was just TOO LOUD people!!  Lol, apart from that everything went well, despite them inviting several sims to the party who could have blown their marriage up.

Hayden Butler and Demi Landchild (see PV 1/22/21) decided to get married this round.  In addition, since their son Tristan grew into a toddler (Lily did as well btw), they felt it would be a good time to try for another baby.  This household is getting pretty chaotic, so I think Hayden and Demi should think about getting their own place soon.  With Demi earning a promotion this round, and the promise of another next round (one of her friends is her boss's cousin, etc.), they should be in pretty good financial shape to buy a house by the end of next round.

Happy Simming!

Friday, May 2, 2025

Pleasantview 5/2/25

 I got through the Bruty family (see PV 1/17/21) today.  Gladys and Dale both had the day off.  Kirby spent most of the day playing poker with whoever was around.  Dale had a date with Jan Tellerman (his LTW is for 50 dream dates), but it was only okay, despite them having 3-bolt chemistry.  Kirby and Gladys decided they wanted to adopt another child, but didn't have enough money to qualify until nearly the end of the round, so the new member of the family probably won't arrive until the day after next.

Tina and Erik Swain (see PV 1/18/21) had another uneventful round, just skilling, chilling, and waiting for the baby to be born.

Amar Kim (see PV 1/18/21) gave birth this round, and the baby was subsequently delivered to the orphanage as planned.  Melanie got a promotion and adopted an elderly dog into their pet family (they also have 2 cats).  

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 5/1/25

 Justin Kim and company (see PV 1/16/21) had a good day all around.  Justin ran his business, Alon ran the toy store (it's now rank 1) and checked in on the pet store.  He and Charlene also decided to get married, so that was a nice surprise.  Brittany took another vacation day and Charlene worked.  Marcel wanted to get a job (which he did) and go to private school, so he moved to Briarwood Prep at the end of the round.  Next time Brittany's daughter Jeannette will grow into a teen. 

I started playing the Brutys, but the game crashed when taking them to a community lot, so I'll have to start over with them tomorrow.  I will try to do the same things as much as possible.

Until tomorrow, Happy Simming!
