Orlando Bertino (see 8/16/20) had a much needed day off, during which he took his daughter out to his hobby lot for the day. Back at home he buckled down and got a lot of work done on his degree, though he still hasn't quite finished. Next round will be Sunday, so he'll have the day off again and will hopefully get it done. Teri will also grow up next round, which will be awesome for Orlando, since he won't need to worry about child care any longer.
This round with the Philippines (see PV 8/16/20) was fairly productive. Clarence went to work, while Erin stayed home with Crystal. When Clarence got home from work, he took over from Erin, so she could have some time for herself. He managed to finish potty training Crystal, as well as teaching her to talk (she could already walk). By the end of the day, the apartment was reasonably clean, everyone was happy, and one of their kittens had grown into a beautiful adult cat. I call that a win.
Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 10/13/20
Calista Copur (see PV 8/14/20) had an uneventful round. She bought a stationary bike to help her gain the body point she needed for her job. It paid off because she got a promotion, but then promptly needed another body point. She got that one too and then spent the rest of the day goofing off.
Frances Worthington (see PV 8/14/20) had the day off from his Culinary job, so he had an outing with friends at the cuisine hobby lot. A good time was had by all and he met a lot of new people. Back at home, he did some skilling, made some calls, and looked for Athletic again after midnight. It wasn't there, but at least he's in line for a promotion in Culinary when he gets back to work next round.
Almeric Davis and Anna Lawson (see PV 8/14/20) spent the day at home together. Turns out they're both sick, so they spent most of their time throwing up. Unfortunately, neither was feeling any better by the end of the round. Nevertheless, Almeric will work next round and, according to a random guy who called to say he's Almeric's boss's cousin, he'll be getting a much needed promotion just in time for the baby's birth.
Checo and Christy Ramirez (see PV 8/15/20) are still struggling financially. Checo tried to ask a neighbor to watch Rusty for the hour between him leaving for work and Christy getting home, but he's not friendly enough with any of them I guess because the option didn't appear. That meant calling a nanny and spending money they can't afford. On top of that, Rusty grew into a child and therefore needed a new bed. The landlord came around to hassle them about the rent, but they just don't have it. In fact, by the end of the round they had about $100 less than they had to start with. It's not looking good for them.

Pleasantview 10/12/20
This round Marie Mazza (see PV 8/13/20) had a date with a townie, Andrew Gergis, and at the end of it they decided to move in together. Andrew brought in $10,000 which is great, but still not really enough for a bigger house. He works in the Slacker career, but wants to be in Law. The rule of thumb for townies is that they are assumed to have the proper education for whatever job they're in. Unfortunately for Andrew, Slacker does not require any education, therefore he has no education. That means he'll have to earn a GED, a degree, and a masters degree online. With that in mind, I decided to have them stay on here for a little while, even though Andrew has to sleep on a hammock outside due to space concerns. Once little Theo becomes a child they'll need to find something better.
Cole and Brittany Long (see PV 8/13/20) both had the day off today. They each took some time to have outings with their friends and then Brittany spent most of the day working on school, while Cole took care of Skye. Neither of them is keen on household chores, so their house is pretty trashed, but Cole did clean up the kitchen a bit. In the afternoon, Brittany finally popped! I think the baby is still not due for a couple days, but who knows at this point. Thanks to Brittany's maternity pay, they were able to scrape up enough money to buy a bathtub and finally bathe their stinky dog China. Money will continue to be tight for the foreseeable future since Cole has two more days off and Brittany will be on maternity leave until the baby's born.
Jace Rusewicz (see PV 8/14/20) decided to pop the question to his girlfriend Nancy this round. At long last Nancy became Mrs. Rusewicz. It was just what she needed after getting demoted at work and arriving home just in time to watch the cat die. At least Jace got promoted, so the family has a little cash now. I need to start thinking about the best ways to expand their house, since all three kids are still sharing a room.

Pleasantview 10/11/20
Today we'll catch up with the Ottomas/Broke clan (see PV 8/12/20). Logan and Russell both went to work, while Trudi took the day off to care for Chip. Sadly, while most of them were out for the day, their dog Alegra died of old age. Their other dog Chachi was very sad to lose his friend. Upon returning home, Logan had an outing with some friends, while Russell and Trudi took turns with the baby/household chores and working on their online degrees. The girls had an uneventful day, though they did bring a friend home from school. Both neglected their homework, however, so they'll need to get cracking on that next round.
Over at Claire Tellerman's house (see PV 8/13/20) things were running smoothly for once. Claire stayed in her coffin all day while the kids went to school. Both kids brought friends home and hung out with them until Laura cooked dinner for everyone. They both got their homework done and went to bed shortly after Claire rose for the night to do her financial consulting. She finally saved up enough to pay for her GED class and will begin working on that next round.
Zena Dreamer (see PV 8/13/20) took the night off to spend with her daughter. We had a close call, however, while Dakota was doing her homework. Zena was playing with the train set when it caught fire and she lit up as well. The fire department got there in the nick of time to put her out, but Dakota came close to losing her mom. Giver her dad's age, she'll be losing him in the near future, so it would have been terrible if she'd lost her mom too.
That's all for today. Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 10/10/20
There's only one update today because when I entered Bruce and Lois Tellerman's house (see PV 8/12/20) I realized that the last day I played them had not saved for some reason. I'm guessing that the game crashed while saving them and I just hoped for the best. So anyway, I had to play them for two days to get them back on track with everyone else. The first day was pretty uneventful. Bruce went to work, while Lois stayed home with the baby. The second day, however, was pretty chaotic. Both were off during the day and both needed to have group outings, but their outings included vampires so had to wait until nighttime. At 6 pm it was Gail's birthday and she grew into a child. As soon as it got dark, I had them both invite their groups over for outings because I knew Lois would be giving birth soon and didn't want to deal with all the load screens to take them both out individually. I'd also just spent a great deal of time building a second floor onto their house, so Gail could move upstairs, leaving the nursery for the new baby. So both outings are going on simultaneously and everything is fine until Bruce, in his infinite sim wisdom, decides to start making out with his friend Gladys Yates. All hell broke loose, slapping, crying, you name it. Then Lois went into labor and gave birth to another daughter, Cheryl. Once all the outings ended and Lois got the baby settled, she immediately broke up with Bruce and I had him move in with his dad temporarily until I figure out what to do with him. The girls will stay with Lois.
Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 10/9/20
Goopy GilsCarbo and Allyn Shahan (see PV 8/10/20) both worked this round; Allyn got promoted, Goopy did not. Since they had the money, Goopy tried inviting Aaron and Garrett over for a college payout, but they refused to come, so he settled for just chatting with them on the phone to boost the relationships a little bit. Maybe next time they'll come. Later on their youngest son, Galen, grew into a toddler.
Jonah Powers (see PV 8/11/20) is getting along okay on his own. He didn't get promoted, which meant he couldn't make the full payment due on his student loan, but he paid what he could in addition to his regular bills that were also due. After work he had a date with Tamara Fuchs. He doesn't seem to be interested in making that relationship more serious (can't really blame him) and neither does she, so it's working for them.
Marla Biggs and Orlando Gothier (see PV 8/11/20) decided to take the plunge and get married this round. On top of that, Orlando got promoted on his first day of work, so they had a lot to celebrate. Marla finally found a job in Architecture as well. Next round they'll welcome their baby.
Delia Ottomas (see PV 8/11/20) had the night off, so she was able to devote some time to the kids, the garden, and the house. She was so productive, she even had time for a date with Luke while the twins were napping. Luckily she didn't get pregnant during the date or she and Luke would have to wait indefinitely to move in together. As it is, they'll need to wait for Luke's mother Amelia to die before there's enough room for them all to live in one household. Arthur tried asking Eliza Ottomas on a date, but she politely declined, so he settled for a phone chat instead.

Pleasantview 10/8/20
Amar Bigfoot (see PV 8/10/20) had an uneventful round. No puppies were born yet.
Darcy Broke (see PV 8/10/20) spent her night caring for her dog, doing some aerobics to satisfy her want to get fit, followed by a long soak in the hot tub, and then squeezing in a couple hours work on her novel.
Last time we checked in with Aiyana Gray and Quinn Leong (see PV 8/10/20) they'd just welcomed their baby daughter into the family. However, you may recall that while I was playing another sim's outing, Quinn autonomously flirted with Kaylynn Ottomas right in front of Aiyana causing furiousness and slapping. Consequently, Quinn was sent packing immediately upon entering this household. He'll be moving in with his friend Will, who lives at Melrose Place, and we'll catch up with him then. For now, Aiyana is back to being a single mom. She and the teens all had group outings that culminated in an impromptu birthday party for baby Harper, who grew into a toddler. Next round Aiyana will get back to work and luckily she now has teens in the household who can babysit, so she'll be able to avoid using the nanny.
