Pleasantview 2/8/21

 The Goths (see PV 12/2/20) had an uneventful round, apart from guests getting stuck in the hot tub and the pool and having to be move_objects'd out.  Sarah had her first pop.  Xavier turned 70.  Everyone kept being rich.

Grace Butler (see PV 12/3/20) made some actual progress this round.  While most of the kids were at school, a friend called her up for an outing.  She had a great time and converted said friend into a love interest, which is great for her LTW.  Upon returning home she kept the nannies (yes, two nannies showed up) on while she did some skilling for her job.  They actually did a little cleaning, which was nice.  We had some troubles in the nighttime, when the kids kept waking up too hot, but I was able to get everyone through.  Grace even managed to get up early and work on walking with Charity, as well as getting her potty trained.  Next round, both Corbin and Charity will grow up.

Happy Simming!

 The Pearsons (see PV 12/1/20) continued with non-stop toddler care this round.  One of the twins learned to walk and one learned to use the potty, but I don't remember which was which.  Juliet hung out by the pool with all her siblings.  It's looking like next round will be Amelia's last, after which Delia and the other kids will finally move in.

Dylan and Carter Broke (see PV 12/2/20) had a calmer round.  Carter got promoted.  Dylan went out with a few friends.  They both invited their kids over and spent some time with them.  Dylan doesn't have much time left, so he needs to bond as much as possible.

Happy Simming!

 The Grundstrom/Hamilton clan (see PV 11/30/20) was pretty calm this round.  Roger stayed home from school and Marcus had the day off, so everyone was at home together all day.  Marcus spent the day skilling and then took over caring for Lucas so that Melody could get some much needed rest.  She's been having a difficult pregnancy.  Toby puttered around all day, taking care of the cats and doing a little painting.  I'm really hoping that he and Claire Deppiesse decide to move in together soon because he doesn't have much time left and it may be the only way to complete his LTW before he dies.

The Jones/McCulloughs (see PV 12/1/20) had an uneventful round.  Everyone but Phil worked; the ladies got promoted, but Ryker did not.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 2/5/21

 Katie Tellerman (see PV 11/30/20) had a fairly uneventful round.  Her son Sean grew into a teen and rolled the LTW for an Athletic career, as well as the want to attend private school.  Since Katie's fairly wealthy, and her daughter Noelle is already at Briarwood, this makes sense so Sean will be headed there next round.

Rebecka Alpha (see PV 11/30/20) avoided a jail sentence, thanks to the expensive attorney Belinda hired for her.  Belinda reached retirement age this round and has now officially retired from Politics.  Her life bar does not have much time left on it, however, so I'm not sure how long she'll have to enjoy it.  Bryan had a date with Chris Jones (the slob) and added another woohoo to his tally.  Later he greeted a townie walkby and managed to charm her into crush status.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 2/4/21

 Tosha Go's house (see PV 11/30/20) was more interesting this round with the addition of Claire Deppiesse as her roommate.  Claire brought her pregnant dog Zoey along with her and she gave birth to FOUR puppies this round.  I haven't had four puppies/kittens born in a very long time, so this was exciting for me.  In addition, one puppy favors the mother and the other three the father, so we should have a good mix of genetics I think.  In other news, both ladies had dates - Claire with newly divorced Toby Grundstrom and Tosha with townie vampire Stuart (something I can't remember).  Toby left unexpectedly in the middle of the date, but Tosha and Stuart really hit it off.  No one decided to move in together, but I'd really like to see Claire and Toby get together because Toby only needs to raise five more puppies/kittens to reach his LTW and Claire's four puppies, plus Tosha's kitten would get him there.  Maybe it'll happen when I play his household.  Fingers crossed.

Wanda Smith (see PV 11/30/20) was disappointed that she lost a cooking competition this round.  Her husband Gabe also failed to get promoted, so they couldn't afford any college funds this round either.  They just continue to struggle financially.  That will likely change next round, as Wanda's long life is coming to an end.  The insurance money will likely be substantial.  What a price to pay for financial security!  We'll also see Weldon grow up next round.  He'll likely not be attending college, but I'm not sure if he'll be staying here or moving to his own place.  In other news, Amar had a very nice date with Violet Grundstrom, so we'll see where that goes.

Happy Simming!

 The Larson siblings (see PV 11/29/20) were still pretty sad this round, after losing their mother, but luckily they didn't have too much to do and were able to relax a bit.  Daniel ran the bookstore and continued training his employee.  Both Brianna and Brooke had the day off.  Brooke had a poker night with some friends and taught the dog a skill he needed.  Sabrina is looking forward to becoming a teen next round.

Happy Simming!

 Jonathan Greaves (see PV 11/28/20) worked his last shift today.  He'll be retiring next round at long last.  His wife Demi got promoted to hostess in her Culinary job.  She's really struggled with this career path and has virtually no chance of ever topping it, but she'll keep plugging away until retirement.  With the twins graduated from college and only one child left at home, this couple is finally making some headway financially.  Of course, once Jonathan retires he'll be bringing in a lot less money, so we'll see how that goes.

Over at the Dreamer residence (see PV 11/28/20), Evan did not get promoted, but he did finally manage to get the skills needed, so hopefully next round.  The couple didn't have enough money for college funds this round, since they have six kids between them, but they might be able to swing it next round.  Hunter may not end up needing a college fund since his average dropped due to skipping school.  On top of everything, Hailey and Evan were a little less than careful and now Hailey's pregnant again.  I'm sure seven college funds will be no problem at all.

Megan Broke (see PV 11/29/20) did not get promoted, but she did bring a friend home from work who she turned into a true friend, so she should be set for next round.  Travis spent the day at his hobby lot with friends.  He ran into a townie bartender he knows while he was there and they ended up having a date that went pretty well.  It wasn't a dream date, unfortunately, which is what Travis needs for his LTW.  Back at home, Travis finally found a Slacker job and headed out right away for his first shift as a golf caddy.

Happy Simming!
