Pleasantview 1/7/21

 At Oasis Dorm (see PV 11/6/20) we have one student: Claire Carr.  This round Claire decided she wants to give Greek life a try and joined Tri-Fruhm.  She spent her last term in the dorm romancing her girlfriend Mackenzie (to soften the blow of moving out?) and doing the bare minimum academically.  She earned a C+ and a 2.8 GPA.

Desert Dorm (see PV 11/6/20) has three students: the Tinker twins and Ericka Tellerman.

Cord finished the semester with an A and a 3.3 GPA.  He'll begin his final semester of senior year next round.  After that he'll spend the ninth semester working on his masters for Oceanography.

Octavius earned a B+ and a 3.4 GPA.  He's also going into his final semester, though he won't need a masters for a career in Show Business, so he'll spend his final term working to earn money for an apartment.

Ericka finished her freshman year, maintaining her 4.0 GPA.  She also had a first date with one of her professors.  It went well, but I always find it to be kind of desperate when sims have no better date prospects than a professor.  I mean, those professors will go out with anyone (and they do, lol).

That's it for LFT.  Tomorrow we'll move to ALT.  Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 1/6/21

 At Oresha-Hoh-Var (see PV 11/5/20) there are three members: Tyler Tellerman, Brian Ryan, and Ray Picaso, who joined since last round.

Tyler earned an A+ this term and subsequently graduated with a 3.6 GPA.  He'll spend one more term here in the frat house, working to earn some money for an apartment.

Brian completed his sophomore year with a 3.0 GPA, after scoring a B+ for this term.

Ray did not do quite as well as his frat brothers, only earning a C, though his GPA is still a 3.0.  He'll be finishing his sophomore year next round.

At Canyon Commons (see PV 11/6/20) we only have one student: Sydney Jacquet.

Sydney earned a B+ this term, dropping her GPA to 3.7.  Apart from academics, she decided to join a Greek house and pledged Tri-Fruhm.  She was easily accepted and, since she's already a sophomore, will be moving immediately into the sorority house where she'll be played next round.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 1/5/21

 Pinenut Plaza (see PV 11/4/20) is still home to just one student: Blaze Broke.  Blaze finished his junior year this round with a B-.  He's taken a liking to one of the dormie girls, Jan, and they've become best friends.  No sign of romance yet, but it seems to be headed that way. 

Moving on to LFT, we'll visit Tri-Fruhm (see PV 11/5/20), where we have two members: Claire Dreamer and Katy LeTourneau.

Claire finished her sophomore year, but she only earned a C- this term, bringing her GPA to 3.0.  She was in a terrible mood the entire round because she's sick.  She did have a date at one point which raised her spirits enough to attend class, but the rest of the time she was miserable and unhappy.

Katy did not fare much better.  She was also sick and disgruntled.  She ended up earning a C+, which brought her 4.0 down to a 3.2.  Katy will begin her sophomore year next round.  Maybe things will start looking up for her.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 1/4/21 Round 4

Round 4 begins with SSU. 

Isabelle Greaves and David Ottomas (see PV 11/3/20) more or less ended their relationship this round.  On the first day of the round, a cow mascot showed up and flirted with Isabelle, making David furious (ironically).  Since she needed to work to earn money for a place to live, I had her stay anyway and do personal training at the campus gym.  David continued to rack up conquests, adding two more to his woohoo tally.  By the end of the round, though Isabelle still loves him, David had lost all interest in her.  Isabelle moved out (I'm thinking she'll go to Las Casas) and David moved on.  He finished his junior year, with a lackluster GPA, and will begin senior year next round.

At Urele-Oresha-Cham we still have two students: Ross Grundstrom and Jordan Hanby.

Ross and his girlfriend Laci took their relationship to the next level on their very steamy date.  They now both have the want to get engaged.  Academically, he skated by with a C+.  Next round he'll begin his senior year.

Jordan also had a date, but his didn't go as well.  The fact that his date had the want to get engaged to someone else may be a telling factor in the future of their relationship.  In any event, he finished his sophomore year with a B, which is not bad, and will start his junior year next round.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 1/3/21 Alpha Legacy & Latte Legacy

 The Alphas (see PV 11/1/20) opened the business this round.  Mostly Betty runs the shop in between crafting items, but she was being particularly difficult this time.  She did not want to stay on the register (or anything else for that matter) and I had to constantly monitor her and keep cancelling "do chores" actions out of her queue.  It didn't help that the butler was being completely useless at taking care of Dante, so Betty kept wanting to do that as well.  Luckily it was Dante's birthday, so now he's a child who can (and will have to) take care of himself.  Despite all the chaos of running the business, everyone came through it okay, though I'm starting to wonder if having the butler is really helping them or not.  Next round, I plan to expand the business, converting the workroom into a salon/food section, and building a new workroom at the back.  I'll also need to create a pond at some point so the Alphas can sell fish.  I think I may need to start having heirs/spouses take on two crafts each though because Betty can't do everything.  She already does painting, toys, and sewing, plus she takes care of running the business.  Even for a Servo, that's a lot.

The Lattes (see PV 11/2/20) had a little more going on this round.  I added a computer area upstairs so that if anyone gets the benefit point for "financial consulting" there will be a way to add a little spare cash to the family funds.  Joy was pretty tired this round, so she didn't work a very long shift at the café, and consequently didn't bring in much money.  However, in the early morning hours, she gave birth to the first baby of Gen 3 - a girl named Jocelyn.  Joy and Peter got right to work on baby #2, which will be due in a few days.

Tomorrow we begin Round 4.  Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 1/2/21

 Sage Dreamer (see PV 11/1/20) had the day off and spent it relaxing and hanging out with her family.  

 Charles Grundstrom and Chloe Despret (see PV 11/1/20) both worked this round, so they brought in a nanny for baby Robert.  Nanny Karen actually didn't do too badly.  Charles ended up coming home early due to a chance card promotion, but he let the nanny stay on for her full shift so he could bone up on mechanical skills.  Later in the evening, they threw a birthday party for Robert and invited Charles' parents and his brother Shane.

Alan Korman (see PV 11/1/20) had the day off from work.  He had a bit of a rough morning because he'd forgotten to pay the bills and had to go out into the daylight to do it before the Repo Man showed up.  Then he invited his kids over to hand out college money, which he also had to do during daytime hours because his daughter is too young to come over after dark.  Finally he made it to bed and slept until dark, at which point he threw a party in the hopes of making some friends for his job.  He did make one, just barely, but he needed two.  Guess he'll have to try, try again.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 1/1/21

Happy New Year! 

Bryce Futa (see PV 10/30/20) got the body point he needed before work and then came home with a promotion.  He used his bonus to pay for his GED class and after hanging out with his friend for a while, spent most of the night working on it.

Over at the homeless shelter (see PV 10/31/20):

Melissa Fancey and her kids have nearly saved enough money to move out, though Melissa's work performance is not looking so great.  Hopefully she can hand onto her job for another round.

Ricky Cormier got a promotion at his Adventure job, but did not find Culinary.

Monica Bratford (like everyone else in town) was sick with a mysterious disease and kept climbing out of her coffin all day, which did not help her mood or her work performance. 

Alvin Broke also got promoted.  He also doesn't particularly get along with Shane.  They spent a good bit of time arguing.

Shane Grundstrom is new here.  I wanted him to live with his parents, but they don't currently have the room, so he'll be here until they do or until he goes to jail.  No promotion for him this round either.

Jessie Pilferson still hasn't found her desired job in Music, but she did get a substantial bonus with her promotion, which allowed her to move to her own place at the end of the round.  She'll be living in the Village Condos next round.

Max Flexor did not get promoted, but he did have enough money to move out as well.  He'll be moving into one of the Mendoza rental houses.

Andrzej Greaves obtained his final promotion in his elder job.  Even so, he still has less than $1000, so he won't be ready to move out soon...if ever.

Moon Broke did not find Dance, but she did get promoted in Gamer.  She's still pretty broke though and now she needs a logic point which she can only get from the crossword in the paper, so I think she'll be here a while longer.

And that concludes the homeless shelter.  Happy Simming!
