Pleasantview 6/29/25

 At LFT Tri-Fruhm (see PV 4/17/25) we have the same four members: Claire Carr, Claire Dreamer, Katy LeTourneau, and Sydney Jacquet.

    Claire Carr finished her junior year with a B, had a date with girlfriend Mackenzie, and threw a toga party.

    Claire Dreamer also finished junior year.  She scored an A+, did some financial consulting for extra cash, and had a date with Jordan Hanby, even though she has the want to get engaged to Brian Ryan.

    Katy also pulled off an A+; she will begin her junior year next round.  She had a date with Tyler Tellerman.

    Sydney Jacquet is continuing her path of excellence with another A+, maintaining a nearly perfect GPA of 3.8.  She also had a date with Jason Fancey, though he was rolling wants for other women the entire time, so I'm not sure if things will ultimately work out for them.

Oresha-Hoh-Var (see PV 4/18/25) is down to two members: Brian Ryan and Ray Picaso.

    Brian had an outing and a date with Claire Dreamer.  Maybe he heard about her and Jordan?  He finished the semester with a B-.  He'll begin senior year next round.

    Ray asked a dormie on a date, but she friend-zoned him.  Luckily, she did agree to attend the toga party the boys threw, and she and Ray are now friends with the potential for romance (3-bolters!), so maybe that will develop in the future.  Ray finished the term with a B; he'll finish junior year next round.

Canyon Commons Dorm got two incoming freshmen: Jake Alpha and Trinity Wong.

    Jake is majoring in psychology and planning to be a business owner.  He did well this term, earning an A+.

    Trinity struggled the entire semester; college is rough on vampires.  She was not able to attend class during the daytime, so I allowed her to do one assignment per day instead.  She only managed to complete two and had to go to her final in broad daylight, so she only earned a C-, but at least she survived.  She also had the want to join a Greek house and pledged Tri-Fruhm; she didn't get in, however, because a dormie locked Sydney Jacquet in his room until after the timer had run out.  I locked in the want though, so she can try again next round.

Oasis Dorm (see PV 4/18/25) still has just one student: Simon Korman.

    Simon did well again, maintaining his 4.0 GPA.  He decided to take up a hobby making toys and so bought himself a toy bench.  He also decided to join the frat house.  He got in easily and will move in there next round to start his sophomore year.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 6/28/25 Round 6

 As we begin a new round, I want to mention that I had an idea for another legacy of sorts to add to my rotation.  Since I've changed the way aspirations are assigned, I no longer have a way for sims to obtain the Grilled Cheese aspiration.  Consequently, I've decided to create a "cheese cult", which will be played along with my other legacies in Bluewater.  I have my founder and an apartment lot which will serve as a compound.  I'll get into the rules I've set for myself more when I play the lot, but it'll be sort of a hybrid between a legacy and a baby challenge, with a pretty loose rule set.  Anyway, let's get on with today's update....

David Ottomas (see PV 4/15/25) had a terrible round.  First of all, he was sick the entire time, which made skilling for class much more difficult.  Then, he had a date with townie (and Slob) Chris Jones and got rejected for a photo booth woohoo.  As if that wasn't enough, the cow mascot (who David despises) crashed his party, causing problems for everyone, including David's parents (his mom is now furious with his dad).  In the midst of all that chaos, however, he did manage to graduate with a meager 2.8 GPA.  He'll spend his final semester on campus working to earn money for an apartment, as he doesn't need a master's degree for his career goals.

At Urele-Oresha-Cham (see PV 4/15/25) there are still two students: Ross Grundstrom and Jordan Hanby.

    Ross graduated with a B+ for the final semester and a 3.2 GPA overall.  He doesn't need a higher degree for Dance, so he'll be working next term.  He'll be leaving Uni with a student loan balance of $5627.

    Jordan finished his junior year and is heading into senior year with a 3.1 GPA (he made the Dean's List this term).

At Sim State Dorm (see PV 4/16/25) there are now four students: Jay Broke, Anthony Tellerman, Leo Deppiesse, and Zaira Jeffress.

    Leo is majoring in drama to pursue an Athletic career, while Zaira majors in physics for Gaming.  Everyone earned an A+, with Jay and Anthony becoming sophomores.

There were quite a few changes at Pinenut Plaza (see PV 4/17/25), which went from two to three students, then down to just one.

    Blaze Broke graduated.  I forgot to record his GPA, but it was around 2.6-2.8.  He moved out immediately and will be inheriting his aunt's mansion and fortune.  He'll likely move his cousin Moon in with him, as she's currently living in the homeless shelter.

    Lysandra Harris earned an A+, and called things quits with Blaze after seeing him flirting with the cow mascot.  She then decided to join a sorority and moved to Tri-Var at the end of the term.  She'll begin her sophomore year there next round.

    New student Garrett GilsCarbo didn't do that well academically (he has a 2.8), but he clearly inherited his father's appeal with the ladies.  He has three bolts for Lysandra, three for one of the dormies, and three for the cheerleader...so far.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 6/26/25 #2 Alpha and Latte Legacies

 It was another chaotic day with the Alpha Legacy (see PV 3/24/21).  The family made some progress with getting the new items stocked, but they have a long way to go still.  Coral gave birth to two puppies: Darwin and Dixie.  I'm really hoping they grow up to be normal looking.  As far as finding a husband for Danica goes, we had a setback because Damion Pearson (aka the Slob) was moved into base Pleasantview by one of his love interests, thereby rendering him ineligible for marriage into the legacy.  I tried to have Betty put Daniel Landry into a group and invite him over, but he was always "unavailable", so I guess he doesn't like her enough to come over.  Perhaps he'll be the cop who delivers the mate for the "D" generation pet heir, but that's kind of a long shot.  So, my plan is to keep an eagle eye out for male townies with D names because at the moment no one in the family knows anyone.  I may have to send Danica out at some point to actively look for someone, but she still has a few days of teenhood left, so the situation is not critical.

At the Latte house (see PV 3/24/21 #2), I spent a little money on some hobby activities for the elders (they've earned it) and Joy went to the café to earn some cash.  They have about a third of what they need saved up, so still a ways to go.  Back at home, Joy got her first pop, and I realized that Peter knows a dormie named Derek.  He didn't, however, know any of the Alphas, but I had him get friendly with Derek just in case.  And then (lucky day!!), Danica walked by!  I had Peter greet her and then invite Derek over so they could meet.  The only fly in the ointment is that Danica can't stand Derek; they had negative interaction after negative interaction.  But no matter because they will like each other once I get done with them lol.  Peter saved the day on that one.  In other news, baby Jocelyn grew into a toddler.

And that concludes this round of Pleasantview!  We'll begin again tomorrow.  Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 6/26/25

 Jared Starchild (see PV 3/21/21) went to work, then had an outing with friends.  I'm hoping that his crush on Tosha Go turns into something more in the future.

Allegra Phoenix (see PV 3/21/21) went to work and promptly got arrested and convicted.  I kept her in the household until after 6 p.m. to keep her aging in order, and then sent her off to prison, where she's been sentenced to 12 days (she might get paroled after 8 days).  Jimmy took a vacation day to stay home with the twins.  He did a little potty training and cleaned the trailer, then hired a nanny to watch the kids while he went out with friends and picked up some groceries.  I was planning to move the family to the bigger trailer with two bedrooms, but now that Allegra is out of the picture (at least for the time being), I think they can make it work here.  Cheaper rent is better, since they'll be living on one income now.

Bryce Futa (see PV 3/21/21) went to work, then had a date with Claire Ottomas.  I thought they might decide to move in together, but Bryce is not ready, so they'll continue as they are for the moment.  After returning from his date, Bryce finished working on his GED and will now begin earning his online degree for his eventual switch to Journalism.  With everything going on, he didn't have time to earn the body points he need for his current Athletic job, so he'll try to get that done next round.

At the homeless shelter...(see PV 3/22/21)

Ricky Cormier inherited some money from Sasha Dreamer, but didn't work.

Monica Bratford also had the day off.  She was arrested, but managed to get acquitted.

Andrzej Greaves worked his elder job and turned 70.

Moon Broke looked for a job in Dance (to no avail), did the crossword for logic, went to work, and then woohoo'd both Max Flexor and Andrzej in succession (she has the LTW to Woohoo 20 sims).  She got pregnant by Max, so we'll have a baby to look forward to in the near future.

Alvin Broke was not as lucky as Monica; he was arrested, convicted, and sent to prison.

Dale Futa had the day off and Law Enforcement did not appear in the paper, so he'll continue with Military.

**Some of these sims could technically move out, but for various reasons it doesn't make sense for them to do so, so they'll all (except for Alvin, of course) be remaining here.  Btw, Alvin's savings will be remaining in the care of the Servo who placeholds this unit, so they'll be available to him when he gets out of prison.

End homeless shelter

Sage Dreamer (see PV 3/22/21) got some much-needed rest upon returning home from work.  Then she invited some friends over, cleaned up the apartment a bit, and got ready for work again - this time in a much better mood.

Charles Grundstrom (see PV 3/23/21) did indeed get promoted; he now needs quite a few skill points, but he'll have plenty of time to work on them, as he's off for the next three days.  He and his girlfriend Chloe discussed having another baby but decided against it at this time.  Unfortunately for them, Fate had other plans, and they are now expecting baby #2.

Alan Korman (see PV 3/23/21) has plenty of skills for his next promotion, but he struggles to maintain friendships, so his career is stalled until he brings his friend count up.  Consequently, he was unable to come up with the rent.  He should earn enough next round to catch up, but if he gets too far behind, he'll be evicted.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 6/21/25

 Ashley Pitts (see PV 3/20/21) went to work, then went out for a while, before inviting over his next conquest to seal the deal.  He now has five notches in his bedpost and has rolled the want for ten.

Upon moving into her new apartment, Melissa Fancey had just enough money to buy beds for the twins and a chair to go with the folding table she had in inventory.  Unfortunately, she and Dalton had the day off, and Cheyenne is not able to get a job with her low grades, so no one was able to bring in any income.  Melissa didn't let that stop her from going out with her friends though; it's been a long time since she was able to do so.  While at the mall, she hooked up with Goopy (the twins' father), so I guess she's decided to let bygones be bygones.  Luckily, she's too old to get pregnant, so no worries on that front.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 6/20/25

 Kevin Beare (see PV 3/19/21) got a promotion and then threw a building party to celebrate.  He's saved up enough money to move to a better place, so he'll likely do that in the near future.

A lot of changes have occurred for Caryl Grundstrom (see PV 3/19/21).  The round started off bad but ended on a (somewhat) hopeful note.  Caryl did not get a promotion at work and was, therefore, unable to make a full payment on her student loan, which resulted in a substantial amount of interest being added to her balance.  However, upon returning home, she finally found her dream job in Business and then had a romantic dinner with Joel Hanby at Londoste, during which they decided to move in together.  She will, of course, be moving to his place because, despite him having two roommates, his place is much preferable to the hole she currently lives in.  They celebrated with a little woohoo that ended in a lullaby.  I really hope it all works out for these two, but I have my doubts given that Joel is involved with (at least) two other women (which I know because he simultaneously rolled wants to marry all three during his date with Caryl).  Even though the pregnancy complicates things, the couple has decided to keep the baby and make the best of it.

Isabelle Greaves has just moved into Las Casas Baratas and she's already struggling.  She didn't find a job in Athletic but took one in Law Enforcement.  Unfortunately, she was off on the first day, so no income.  After purchasing a bed, she has $26 left to her name.  She went out with some friends, but didn't have a very good time, as they were playing poker and she couldn't afford to play.

Life is not going to get back to normal for Morgan Alpha (see PV 3/20/21) just yet.  She got a promotion at work and then found a job in Natural Science, which was great.  However, what was not great was the fact that she hooked up with Ashley Pitts from across the hall and is pregnant once again.  She's literally slept with two sims and got knocked up by them both lol.  She will be giving up this baby also, as she's in no position to raise a child.

Since I last played Martin and Greg Dreamer (see PV 3/20/21) some drama unfolded.  It seems both guys were involved with Alyssa Picaso (a married woman) and Greg caught her with Martin, which caused a rift between the brothers.  I decided that if they didn't patch things up by the end of the round, I'd move one of them out.  The day progressed and Martin ran his business and had a date with Calista Fuchs, who he is absolutely smitten with.  Unfortunately, she's not the commitment type and has no interest in getting more serious at the moment.  Since his only other love interest is Alyssa, who's unavailable to him, he decided to make his own family and spawn a plant baby, Helen.  Greg had a date with (also married) Christy Ramirez, during which his other brother Brad showed up and, while Greg was in the bathroom bathing little Helen, he and Christy started making out in the living room.  Evidently, Greg is involved with (yet another) married woman, who is involved with (yet another) one of his brothers.  The guy can't catch a break lol.  He didn't see them together, however, and Christy left shortly thereafter, so it's a problem for another day.  These brothers not only have a predilection for married women - they keep falling for the SAME women!! 😲 (Note: Since Martin and Greg are on pretty good terms again, I kept them both living here for now.)

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 6/19/25

 Emily Lee (see PV 3/19/21) spent a quiet day at home, catching up on some chores.  She went out with friends in the evening and managed to bump up her friend count.  She's still working on the body point she needs, however.

Jasper Roseland (see PV 3/19/21) spent the day trying (and failing) to recover from the mysterious disease.  Later, he went out with friends and took a job in Show Business, as Music has yet to appear.

Gunnar Roque and Jasmine Rai (see PV 3/19/21) did not have much going on this round.  Jasmine had the day off.  Gunnar worked, but was short a cleaning point, so didn't get promoted.  He invited some friends over before work and he and Jasmine had some steamy alone time after.

Calvin and Noah Latte (see PV 3/19/21) both worked (Noah got promoted), then they went out for dinner, where Noah attempted asking several ladies on dates, but was rejected each time.  Upon returning home, Noah worked on skills for his next promotion.

Jessie Pilferson (see PV 3/19/21) went to work, then went out with Daniel Larson.  They had a great outing which earned her a body point.  At home she rolled the want to study physiology, which I thought would be useful, given that she needs another body point for work.  She still has not found a job in Music, so she'll stick with Show Business for now.

Sydney Greaves and Alyssa Larson got settled into their new apartment at Village Condos.  They didn't have a ton of money for furnishings, but they've got the essentials.  Neither was able to find their desired job, so they took jobs in Culinary (Syd) and Dance (Alyssa).

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 6/18/25

 Guy Wrightley (see PV 3/16/21) went to work, then immediately to his business, managing to earn just enough money between the two to be able to pay his rent next round.  That's a good thing, since he'll be off both his jobs next time.

Ben Tellerman (see PV 3/16/21) went out and met some new people, then went off to work and went straight to bed upon his return home.  He awoke later on to find his brother Tyler on his couch.  Tyler recently graduated and, since there's no room at their mom's house (or their older sister's), and their dad is in prison, he ended up here.  He took a job in the Athletic career while he waits for Criminal to come up.  I wonder if Ben knows his brother is planning to follow in their father's footsteps?

Phineas and Roxie (see PV 3/16/21) both worked, then threw a party and did some skilling.  Both are still fighting the mysterious disease, so they're not all that happy at the moment.

Will Bruty's household (see PV 3/17/25) was incredibly successful this round.  Quinn Leong had the day off; he worked on his skills and invited his daughter Harper over.  Will got promoted at work and gained the skills needed for his next promotion.  With the money he earned from his promotion, he was able to pay the fee for Ella's GED, which she completed by the end of the round.  She looked for a job right away and Music was the first on the list!  Will subsequently got Anna started on her GED as well; she will work on it next round.  While their dad was as work, the twins went out to a community lot and Anna scored her first "first date" with a townie who came by.  It's only the first of many to come, but you gotta start somewhere, right?  Will's crush (the landlord Elle Long) called and asked him on a date in the evening; they fell in love and had their first woohoo, but even though they both want to get engaged, it's unlikely to happen since Elle is a Romance sim.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 6/17/25

 Chaz Whippler (see PV 3/15/21) did not get promoted (grrr) but he did earn enough to buy himself a proper bed, so that's something.  Joel and Tom both had the day off, which they spent skilling.  In the evening, they threw a party.

Arianna and Zoe Bruty (see PV 3/15/21) have been at odds for a while now, and this round they reached their breaking point.  They ended their marriage and Zoe moved back to the trailer park where their relationship started, which is kind of bittersweet, as she was not the one who "wanted" (per my in-game rules) the divorce.  Jeannie will be staying with Ari, and they also added a third cat to the household, which is maybe Ari's way of consoling her daughter?

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 6/16/25

 Meredith Landgraab (see PV 3/14/21) took another day off; Jessie also had the day off.  Mariah and Colton both rolled the want to attend private school but, since the boys' dorms are currently full, only Mariah could attend.  I think it'll be a good opportunity for her to make some friends, as she's been struggling with that.  It will, however, be the first time she's ever been separated from her twin sister Whitney, so she might feel a little weird on her own.

I had to play the Custer/Grundstrom/Broke household (see PV 3/15/21) THREE TIMES!!!  It just kept crashing every time I tried to save.  Finally, on the third time, I saved every six hours and managed to get through it.  Sheesh!!!  I tried to keep things as close to the same as possible, but there were a few minor differences (mostly chance card/promotion related).  In the end, Mark got promoted and will have the next few days off, the twins worked but did not get promoted, and Lexie had the day off.  They also adopted another puppy for a total of three dogs now.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 6/15/25

 Chris and Xavier Sims (see PV 3/13/21) both had the day off, which was spent sleeping and cleaning, respectively.  Baby Jada grew into a toddler and Chris taught her to walk.  The couple also decided that it was a good time to have another baby, so they are now expecting their third child together.  They adopted a puppy as well, which means they are quickly outgrowing their apartment and will soon need to think about buying a house.

Jane Nova (see PV 3/13/21) unfortunately got demoted at work.  Castor had the day off and worked on body skill (but didn't get any).  He had some friends over and they all went for a jog, but he still did not earn a body point.  He did, however, roll the want to study physiology, so I guess he knows about the glitch that allows sims to build body skills rapidly.

William Williamson (see PV 3/13/21) got promoted and got straight to work on skilling.  Blossom worked, but no promotion. (She also didn't pop?)  Matthew had the day off and decided to adopt a puppy; he also wants a kitten, but he's broke.

Eric Landgraab's round (see PV 3/14/21) was uneventful.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 6/12/25

 Amy and Meadow Shahan (see PV 3/11/21) decided to call it quits on their marriage this round.  Things have been spiraling down for a while now, so the end was more or less inevitable.  Jackson will remain with Amy and Meadow will be getting her own place.

Stella Terrano (see PV 3/12/21) got promoted, then had her first pop.  Erik still hasn't found a job in Slacker.  Klara had the day off and worked on her skills in the evening.  (Blossom, of course, moved in with William Williamson, so is no longer living here.)  Stella and Erik will likely need to find a new place soon, as he and Klara do not get along at all.

Shanna Copur (see PV 3/12/21) ran her shop this round, earning about $300 overall.  She is still unable to restock the perfume or the clothing racks.  Back at home Sarah made a whopping $750 from financial consulting, which gives the couple about half the rent money.  (Sadly, I don't think their landlord is open to negotiation.)  It looks like next round might be Sarah's last, which is a tough blow for Shanna, not only emotionally, but also financially.  Phillip is not doing that well in school and may not end up getting into college after all.  Jeff will become a teen next time.

Happy Simming!  

Pleasantview 6/11/25

 Patrick Wong (see PV 3/10/21) finally got the promotion and then went out with some friends; they stopped by a pet store where he bought a dog.  Back at home he worked on skills until dawn.  Devin worked but didn't get promoted.

Pamela Broke (see PV 3/10/21) decided to adopt this round and it made me think maybe she felt guilty about giving up her child years ago, so I thought - what if sims could get their kids back if they "change their minds" about parenthood (and the kid is still at the orphanage of course)?  So, I amended the rules to allow that, and I moved Pamela's daughter Kyra (who is now a teen) back in with her.  I think it will be interesting to see how their relationship progresses.  I haven't yet decided what role (if any) Kyra's bio dad will have in her life, but I guess we'll navigate that as we go.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 6/10/25

 The only event of note at the alien lot (see PV 3/8/21) was Zaira leaving for college.  She'll be going to SSU to pursue a Gaming career.

Cooper Seifert (see PV 3/9/21) decided to take a job in Music given that his degree is on hold for the moment due to lack of funds, he and Elise have two kids (and two more on the way after Elise started craving cheesecake) to support, and Elise has a significant amount of maternity leave saved up.  Next round Calvin will age up and the twins will be born.

Everyone in the Bruty household (see PV 3/9/21) went to work, but no promotions this round.  Michelle got a call from Goopy for a second date, which ended in woohoo.  Marie and Kevin worked on skills.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 6/7/25

 The plant sim lot was uneventful.

Mia Landry (see PV 3/8/21) got a demotion at work due to a bad chance card.  Liam had the day off and went out to a club while Mia was at work.  However, the game crashed when he was returning home and none of his community lot stuff was saved.  I didn't feel like doing it over so it's whatever.  I don't really feel like Liam is the cheating type anyway, so maybe now that he's a vampire who wants 20 woohoos, he'll just be a serial monogamist?  He's literally only had two partners in his life - his ex-wife and Mia - so it makes sense really.

That's it for today.  Next time will be the alien lot.  Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 6/6/25

 Goopy GilsCarbo (see PV 3/6/21) got a promotion, then he and Brandon went out to Red's for dinner.  They met some ladies and had a good time before coming home to crash for the night.

Geoffrey Ottomas (see PV 3/7/21) made a big decision.  Since his son Richard is a teen, and younger son Damon will soon be as well, Geoffrey wants to try his hand at fatherhood one more time.  None of his relationships have been particularly successful, so he chose to appeal to the aliens once more, and they obliged him with another pregnancy.

Mira Leong (see PV 3/7/21) finished her master's degree and can now concentrate fully on skilling for her job in Oceanography.  Braden Dreamer inherited a sizable amount from his father Nathan, and then looked for Gamer, but it still didn't come up, so he'll continue in Adventure for now.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 6/5/25

 Calvin Dreamer (see PV 3/4/21) had an uneventful round.

Dagmar Grundstrom (see PV 3/5/21) didn't find a job, but she did have some friends over and she started a painting.

The Sharpe/Indie household (see PV 3/5/21) was tame.  Everyone had the day off and worked on skills.  Delilah had her first pop; no drama occurred.

DJ and Calista Verse (see PV 3/5/21) had a few friends over for a barbeque before Calista worked her night shift (where she did not get promoted).

Max Flexor (see PV 3/5/21) got promoted at work, which gave him enough money to pay for the first part of his master's degree.  He finished it almost immediately, however, which makes me think he must have started it when he was in Uni and just didn't finish it for some reason.  I honestly don't remember.  I contemplated just counting it as having been done in Uni, but ultimately, I decided to just count it as the first part and have him do the second part as well (which he paid for out of the income from the first part).  Unfortunately, he didn't find a job in Politics, so he'll have to wait a bit longer to apply any of his newfound knowledge.

Brian Donnelly (see PV 3/6/21) spent a quiet Sunday at home with the kids.  Bridget was supposed to have a play date but, sadly, she doesn't have any friends, so I just had her greet a couple of kids who walked by to play with.  Aaron went to work and scored a promotion to the top of his teen job, which was not only useful in building household savings, but it will also qualify him for a college scholarship.

Happy Simming!  

Pleasantview 6/4/25

 Jan Tellerman (see PV 3/3/21) worked, then threw a building party, during which no one from the building ever entered her apartment (they just hung out downstairs by the stereo), yet it was still a good time lol.  She did finally manage to get her skills done for the next promotion, so that should happen next round.

At the House of Fallen Trees (see PV 3/3/21) Matthew got promoted, while Maura had the day off.  Maura still needs one more friend for a promotion.  Trinity was turned by her father and then accepted to La Fiesta Tech.  She is the first of her family to go to college - hope she survives.  India also grew into a teen so we're moving slowly ahead with the plan for a crime base.  Constance still has a few days before she'll be out of the house.

Andrzej Landgraab (see PV 3/3/21) was able to pay off his student loan this round, so that will be a huge load off his shoulders going forward.  He didn't get promoted, but it looks good for next round.  Also next round, Lane will grow up and the new baby will be born.

Eric Parker (see PV 3/4/21) got promoted to judge; he'll now have a couple of days off to work on skills.  Sophie Young finally found her dream job in Criminal, so we'll see how that goes for her.

Clarence and Tracy Ramirez (see PV 3/4/21) welcomed twin boys this round (Edwin and Ernest).  They're in pretty good shape financially so, for once, twins will not be a problem for them.  However, should they have a third child in the near future, they'll probably want to start looking for a larger place.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 6/3/25

 Nick Broke and Yvette Kim (see PV 2/28/21) still do not have the cash to move to a house (I'm thinking about instituting mortgages, but I have to think about it some more), so I'm keeping them here for now.  I think I've worked out a way to squeeze all three kids into the one bedroom, but it'll be tight.  With my luck, there'll be TWO new babies in the family.

Rose and Nerissa Gregory (see PV 3/1/21) decided (against all odds) this round to adopt a child.  Since they didn't quite have enough money, I had to wait until after they went to work (Rose got promoted btw) to make the call to the adoption agency.  Consequently, their new family member will not be arriving until Sunday morning.  I did have them go ahead and get the room ready in preparation.

AJ Broke (see PV 3/2/21) ran his cafe, but didn't make any money.  In fact, he lost money.  At least he still has his pension from when he was mayor and can do financial consulting on the side.  Gloria had the day off again and Xavier got his next promotion and sold a painting.  They should be in good shape once the rent comes due, which is not for a while in any event.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 6/2/25

 Orlando Bertino (see PV 2/27/21) got promoted and Teri dragged her grade up to a C+, for which Orlando rewarded her with a little dog she's been wanting.  The dog is very elderly, however, so I don't think he'll be around very long.  (I think he used to belong to Brandon Tellerman, but got taken away.)  I'm looking forward to something possibly happening with Orlando and Elise Bruty next round.  Stay tuned.

Clarence and Erin Philippine (see PV 2/27/21) have improved their relationship slightly, so they might just hang in there through this rough patch.  Erin had her first pop and is now on maternity leave.  Clarence got a promotion and will now have a couple days off.  They also bought a telescope and a bird for Crystal and their kitten grew up.

Renaud Delarosa and Brooke Lawson (see PV 2/27/21) spent a quiet Sunday at home.  They did a little cleaning and a little studying.  Renaud invited his sons over to add to their college funds.  Brooke had purchased a bird cage and a womrat cage at some point, so I let her place/stock them.  Nothing earthshattering occurred.

Heather Huffington (see PV 2/28/21) got yet another bad chance card - this one got her fired!  She nearly died (again), but I managed to save her (again).  Later on, she looked for another job, but Music was not available, so she took Artist for the time being.  Martin had the day off which he spent with friends.  They did not have the money to pay the rent, so I'm hoping Martin will make enough next round to get them caught up.

The big news for Joshua and Tiffany Ruben (see PV 2/28/21) is that they had TWINS!!  However, if you recall, they had decided not to keep them, so little Anthony and Ashley will be residing at Pleasantview Orphanage.  Joshua still didn't find the job he wants, but he has a few days off to work on the skills for the job he has.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 6/1/25

 The Long family (see PV 2/24/21) is still suffering from the slow time glitch, but everything else seems normal at the moment, so I didn't move them out.  Cole went to work and earned a much-needed promotion. Brittany continued to take maternity leave and spent her day cleaning the house and caring for baby Justin, who grew into a toddler this round.  The couple also decided to try for another baby, which will be due in a few days (or less maybe?)

Jace and Nancy Rusewicz (see PV 2/25/21) have improved on their relationship a bit but, in the meantime, the twins' grades have been suffering.  They just managed to get caught up on their homework, so maybe the situation will improve next round.  Money is getting really tight; Jace had the day off and Nancy got fired right before she had her first pop.

Calista Copur (see PV 2/25/21) got her body point and, subsequently, got promoted.  After work, she went out with some friends, then got a good night's sleep.  She needs body points for her next promotion, which she'll work on next round when she has the day off.

Frances and Marion Worthington (see PV 2/25/21) both got promoted, so they're in good shape when the rent comes due.  They also had a date which ended in a lullaby.  However, they've decided the time is not right for them to grow their family, so they'll be giving the little one up when it's born.

Almeric Davis and Anna Lawson (see PV 2/26/21) also found themselves expecting a new little bundle of joy which, unlike the Worthingtons, they will be keeping.  They both had the day off, so no money came in and finances are tight right now.  At least they had time to teach Hope some toddler skills.

Not only did Christy Ramirez (see PV 2/26/21) not get promoted - she actually got demoted!  At least it gave her some extra time to work on her master's, which she finished.  Checo went to his hobby lot to paint; he earned a couple hundred bucks, but did not paint a masterpiece.  When he returned home, he and Christy decided that now would be the perfect time to have a baby.  Never mind the fact that they barely have enough money to pay the rent, they can only come up with money for Rusty's college fund about half the time, they just got a new kitten, and Checo will likely not live long enough to even meet the new baby!  It's going to be messy lol - just the way I like it!

Happy Simming!
