Pleasantview 1/14/21

 Aiden and Cara Broke (see PV 11/14/20) had an uneventful round.  Cara had the day off from work and didn't need any skills, so she just hung around the house all day.  Aiden will be turning 70 next round and still has a good bit left on his life bar, so it looks like he'll be around for a while longer.

Lucy Hanby (see PV 11/14/20) used up her last vacation day this round, meaning she could officially retire from her job.  Apart from that, her day was uneventful.

Gavin Jacquet (see PV 11/14/20) had a successful day of business at his market.  The fresh oranges are selling well, though nothing else has ripened yet.  His mother Lila did the same thing she does every night - work on a car.  Gavin invited some friends over, but the outing didn't go very well and he ended up falling out of crush with Jenna Tellerman, which is disappointing as he doesn't really have any other prospects and is not getting any younger.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 1/13/21

 Heather and Evan Broke (see PV 11/13/20) got married this round.  Luckily for Heather she didn't even have to change her last name.  If you're wondering whether they're actually distantly related...they're not.  Evan's mother was once married to Heather's uncle, thus obtaining the Broke name, but Evan was born after their divorce - his father is Jonathan Greaves.  Heather also got a promotion this round, so she'll be skilling hard for the next day or so.  Charlotte finished her degree, but did not find a job in Medicine.  She'll keep looking and in the meantime, she'll work on her masters degree for Medicine.  Next round will be Warner's teen birthday as well as the birth of his new sibling.

The Landgraabs (see PV 11/13/20) had another busy round.  Tess had her hands full with inviting all the kids round for college money, getting Shane moved back home and settled, taking care of the youngest twins, and trying to spend time with friends.  Stephen was, of course, asleep for all of that, but he woke up in time to see Wes and the twins age up.  They may regret helping Shane out eventually, as it seems he's had a bad influence on Wesley, who rolled the LTW to be a Criminal just like his big brother.  At least one good thing will come of Shane moving home - he brought in enough friends that Tess can finally get a promotion at work.  She's been stuck at "high school teacher" for so very long.  So, pros and cons I guess?

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 1/12/21

 At the Pleasantview Prison (see PV 11/12/20) there are still just two inmates: Mason Tellerman and Rosemary Bruty.  We may have some new residents soon, however, since there are quite a few Criminals in Pleasantview right now.  Mason and Rosemary completed their 7th and 4th days of their sentences, respectively.  Because it was technically Rosemary's day off, she still hasn't been fired from her job yet, but it won't be too many more days before that happens.

Sorry for the short update, but I spent a lot of time getting all those graduates from the boarding school moved into their dorms at Uni.  Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 1/11/21

 Today we're visiting Briarwood Prep, where every unit is filled to capacity.

First up is girls' dorm A (see PV 11/10/20), where we have the following students: Clarissa and Cybil Fancey, Noelle Tellerman, Amy Broke, Daphne Dreamer, and (new student) Kylie Greaves.  Clarissa decided to skip her last day of class, which brought her grade down to a B+.  Consequently, she was not able to get into Academie Le Tour, like her sister Cybil did, and had to settle for La Fiesta Tech.  Honestly, I was surprised she decided to go to college at all, since she's shown very little interest in it before.  In any event, this will be the first time the twins have ever lived apart, so we'll get the chance to see how they do on their own.  As for the other girls, they had a fairly uneventful day.  Amy Broke got a promotion, everyone got their required skills, Noelle had to run the headmaster visit for Kylie because Servo was broken after running amok (and shocking many students, including Clarissa), and everyone is still sick.  Next round Noelle is set to graduate.

In boys' dorm A (see PV 11/11/20), we have the following students: Jay Broke, Aaron GilsCarbo, Leo and Max Deppiesse, Julian Delarosa, and (new student) Ray Grundstrom.  Jay again skipped class this round, resulting in him tanking his average right before graduation.  He still graduated with a C+, but his only option for college became SSU, the least prestigious of all the colleges.  Servo ran a headmaster visit to get Ray officially into private school and some of the boys worked (Aaron got promoted).  Next round we'll see Aaron and the twins graduate.

Boys' dorm B (see PV 11/11/20) still has the same six students: Simon and Teddy Korman, Jake Alpha, Glen Gray, Richard Ottomas, and Steven Ottomas.  Simon and Jake skipped class this round and got an early start on their skilling.  This meant Simon's grade dropped to a B+ right before graduation (what's with all the senioritis this round?), meaning he'll be attending LFT, as it's the best school he can get into.  The other boys were pretty lackadaisical about homework, but put an effort into their jobs; Teddy got promoted to the top of his job and Glen got a $500 bonus from a chance card.  Next round Jake will graduate and Steven will grow into a teen at long last.

Girls' dorm B (see PV 11/12/20) has the following students: Caryl Broke, Kimberli Cox, Tina Traveller, Madison Kim, (new student) Violet Grundstrom, and Katrina Swain.  This round Caryl, Kim, and Tina all graduated.  Caryl and Kimberli both finished with A+ averages and left to attend ALT.  Tina opted out of college and will return to her family home in Pleasant Valley later this round.  All the teens worked, padding their bank accounts just a little bit, but only Violet was promoted.  No one will be scheduled to graduate next round, so unless some new students enter, it should be pretty calm here.

That's it for Briarwood.  Tomorrow will be the prison.  Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 1/10/21

 At the Casteroff Dorm (see PV 11/10/20) we have Darius Goss and Dawn Grundstrom.  They spent another uneventful round studying and maintaining their 4.0s.  Dawn made friends with a dormie and Darius became enemies with one.  Not only have they not befriended each other, they actually have a slightly negative relationship score, so I don't think they'll be looking forward to seeing each other at the reunion.  Next round Darius begins his final senior semester and Dawn will be a first term senior.

Finally, we have Mille House (see PV 11/10/20) where there are still two students: Savannah Broke and Blake Tellerman.  Both continue to be good students, maintaining their perfect GPAs.  They both had dates this round as well.  

Savannah is dating David Ottomas, but he's obviously not as serious as she is given he had the want to "woohoo 10 sims" as well as "fall in love" with some other girl the whole time they were on their date.

Blake had a first date with a dormie named Amanda and it went shockingly well for two Knowledge sims.  They are now in love and I really like her for him.  I hope she's not dating five other guys or something.

That's it for Uni!  Briarwood will be up tomorrow.  Until then, Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 1/9/21

 Today we'll visit Romara Dorm (see PV 11/9/20) where there are two students: Jason Broke and Lauren Greaves.  Nothing particularly eventful happened.  They both maintained their 4.0 GPAs; Lauren finished her sophomore year and Jason finished his freshman year.  I noticed that they each have a dormie nemesis, who they fight with constantly, so they definitely have a lot in common.

At Lam Plaza (see PV 11/9/20) there is just one student left: Gabriella Hamilton.  Gabi was torn between Lucas and Jason this round.  During his round, Jason made good on his conquest, enticing Gabi into a closet woohoo.  Now she wants to get engaged to both of them, though she had a date with Lucas which caused the engagement want for Jason to roll away temporarily.  I'm sure it'll be back though.  Hopefully she has the good sense to choose Lucas because Jason is just bad news.  In other news, Gabi maintained her 4.0 GPA and finished her sophomore year.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 1/8/21

 First up in ALT is the Tri-Annya Sorority (see PV 11/7/20) where we have two members: Sydney Greaves and Alyssa Larson.

Sydney worked as a musician at the music hall on campus to earn money towards an apartment.  She also kept Vicki (the new pledge) working hard in the house to make sure she was able to move in as placeholder by the end of the round.

Alyssa inherited money from her mother Jessie's recent death, which was especially helpful since she didn't do well playing with the band at the lounge.  She was, however, pretty successful at using the skill sucker to absorb skills from the cow mascot, the llama mascot, and a professor before the term ended.  

Since Sydney and Alyssa are best friends, they decided to get an apartment together in the Village Condos downtown.  They'll be played there next round.

At NFC (see PV 11/8/20), in addition to Jess Creelman and Andrew Dreamer, we have a new member: Jason Fancey.

All three guys scored A+ this term, which is great considering how much nonsense goes on here.  Jess and Jason are both trying to obtain 20 Lovers, so they've always got a girl over.  Andrew will begin his senior year next round, Jess will be a junior, and Jason will finish his sophomore year.

Happy Simming!
