Pleasantview 12/21/25

 At the Kim residence (see PV 7/12/25), businesses were run, dogs were trained, and many college funds were handed out.  Jeannette had a date with Marcel and wants to go steady now.  Alon and Charlene decided to have a baby, which makes sense since Charlene doesn't have any kids yet and is quite a bit younger than Alon.  This will be Alon's seventh child, however, so it's probably not as exciting for him.  Everyone keeps rolling wants for puppies, but that's impossible now that Charlene is pregnant (and I'm thankful for that because they've already got four dogs in the house lol).

Gladys Bruty (see PV 7/13/25) got another promotion and turned 60, which means no more adopting for this couple, thankfully.  Their new child is a toddler boy named Sawyer.  Dale also earned a promotion, and he and Jan Tellerman decided to move in together, which I'm sure will work out just fine lol. 😂 Next round Joshua will reach adulthood and perhaps head off to college; Kieran will become a teen.

Happy Simming!

 Alexis and Alvin Broke (see PV 7/11/25) must have been feeling old because they decided to try for another baby in the eleventh hour of their lives.  They were successful, so we'll be adding another member to the family in a few days, just in time for Alvin to become an elder (Alexis will follow a couple days later).  In addition to that, Andrew has moved back home and married his girlfriend (one of them anyway lol), Dawn Grundstrom.  Neither was able to find a job in their field just yet (there's no rush because the family has plenty of money), nor have they decided to get pregnant right away (though that would have been kind of interesting to have Andrew's sibling and child be the same age).  Andrew also rolled a want to buy a community lot, which could be something I let him do.  His LTW is for Culinary, so it would make sense for him to own a restaurant maybe?  He grew up watching his mother (and grandmother) run the salon, so I can see him wanting to be his own boss as well.  Plus, they can afford it.  I'll still have him go into Culinary, but no reason he couldn't run a restaurant as well, right?  Something to consider.

The Bruty household (see PV 7/11/25) grew by leaps and bounds this round.  First, Thomas decided to spawn another plant baby (Alice) and then Noel and Ivy chose to follow their dad's lead and spawn babies of their own (Liam and Oscar, respectively).  I neglected to remember that I already have a Liam Bruty, who is somehow related, so that'll be fun lol.  Camille pursued her LTW of Woohooing 20 Sims by woohooing Ashley Pitts.  Unfortunately, this caused some drama in the household, as Ivy had a crush on Ashley (which I also neglected to remember lol - really stellar simming today guys), so now everyone's mad at Camille.  At least she scored a promotion at work.  In any event, it's not causing an issue at the moment, but if Camille and Ivy start fighting too much, I'll move one of them out.  Someone will likely need to move out in the near future anyway, because the house is bursting at the seams with 8 sims and 2 pets now.

Happy Simming!

 Cara Broke (see PV 7/10/25) went to work and then had a date with her boyfriend Ben Tellerman.  During the date she rolled the want to get engaged, which Ben already had locked in, so I had her propose.  However, she still doesn't want to move in together and she didn't roll the want to get married (although Ben did), so for now they'll maintain the status quo.  If she also rolls the want for marriage at some point, it will override her Pleasure sim desire to remain footloose and fancy free.

Lucy Hanby (see PV 7/10/25) has had the want to get married locked for what seems like an eternity, but Aiden is still holding firm about not tying the knot.  He's getting up there in age though, so maybe once he's gone Lucy will finally move on to someone who is interested in marriage.  Incidentally, the ghost of her cat Tiger seems to be determined to help her out by scaring Aiden incessantly lol.

Since last round with Gavin Jacquet (see PV 7/10/25), he has moved his girlfriend, Michelle Kearney (formerly an orphanage caregiver), in with him.  He's pretty keen on getting married, but Michelle doesn't want that, though she did agree to try for a baby (which was successful).  Michelle's LTW is for Medicine but, given she's spent more than half of her adulthood at the orphanage, she hasn't had the opportunity to earn her degree.  So, she'll be working on that for the time being.  With the age/status difference between them, it certainly looks like Michelle may be taking advantage of Gavin to further her own goals in life, but it remains to be seen how things work out for them.

Armando Ottomas and Nadine Kim (see PV 7/11/25) decided to get married this round.  Apart from that, things are not looking great for them.  Armando got fired from his job but was able to find Intelligence again (not at the same level though). Nadine became an elder and both she and Armando wanted to adopt another child, but they were rejected by the agency for being too broke, which is fair because they're already supporting six kids between them and Armando didn't make any money this round.

Happy Simming!

 Pleasantview Prison (see PV 7/9/25) still has four inmates: Mason Tellerman, Rosemary Bruty, Alvin Broke, and Allegra Phoenix.  Both Mason and Alvin will be up for parole in two more days, though Mason is significantly more likely to be released.

Tess Landgraab (see PV 7/10/25) was not as lucky with the promotion this time; she'll have to wait until her next workday.  Her son Shane did get promoted, but it wasn't exactly a good time for it, as he later got arrested and sent to prison (with a longer sentence than he would have had if he hadn't been promoted).  Kate's grades are very low, but Stephen was able to help her with her homework, so they should come up once she gets back to class.  Apart from that, the family adopted another kitten, bringing them to four cats in total.

Happy Simming!
