Pleasantview 6/7/25

 The plant sim lot was uneventful.

Mia Landry (see PV 3/8/21) got a demotion at work due to a bad chance card.  Liam had the day off and went out to a club while Mia was at work.  However, the game crashed when he was returning home and none of his community lot stuff was saved.  I didn't feel like doing it over so it's whatever.  I don't really feel like Liam is the cheating type anyway, so maybe now that he's a vampire who wants 20 woohoos, he'll just be a serial monogamist?  He's literally only had two partners in his life - his ex-wife and Mia - so it makes sense really.

That's it for today.  Next time will be the alien lot.  Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 6/6/25

 Goopy GilsCarbo (see PV 3/6/21) got a promotion, then he and Brandon went out to Red's for dinner.  They met some ladies and had a good time before coming home to crash for the night.

Geoffrey Ottomas (see PV 3/7/21) made a big decision.  Since his son Richard is a teen, and younger son Damon will soon be as well, Geoffrey wants to try his hand at fatherhood one more time.  None of his relationships have been particularly successful, so he chose to appeal to the aliens once more, and they obliged him with another pregnancy.

Mira Leong (see PV 3/7/21) finished her master's degree and can now concentrate fully on skilling for her job in Oceanography.  Braden Dreamer inherited a sizable amount from his father Nathan, and then looked for Gamer, but it still didn't come up, so he'll continue in Adventure for now.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 6/5/25

 Calvin Dreamer (see PV 3/4/21) had an uneventful round.

Dagmar Grundstrom (see PV 3/5/21) didn't find a job, but she did have some friends over and she started a painting.

The Sharpe/Indie household (see PV 3/5/21) was tame.  Everyone had the day off and worked on skills.  Delilah had her first pop; no drama occurred.

DJ and Calista Verse (see PV 3/5/21) had a few friends over for a barbeque before Calista worked her night shift (where she did not get promoted).

Max Flexor (see PV 3/5/21) got promoted at work, which gave him enough money to pay for the first part of his master's degree.  He finished it almost immediately, however, which makes me think he must have started it when he was in Uni and just didn't finish it for some reason.  I honestly don't remember.  I contemplated just counting it as having been done in Uni, but ultimately, I decided to just count it as the first part and have him do the second part as well (which he paid for out of the income from the first part).  Unfortunately, he didn't find a job in Politics, so he'll have to wait a bit longer to apply any of his newfound knowledge.

Brian Donnelly (see PV 3/6/21) spent a quiet Sunday at home with the kids.  Bridget was supposed to have a play date but, sadly, she doesn't have any friends, so I just had her greet a couple of kids who walked by to play with.  Aaron went to work and scored a promotion to the top of his teen job, which was not only useful in building household savings, but it will also qualify him for a college scholarship.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 6/4/25

 Jan Tellerman (see PV 3/3/21) worked, then threw a building party, during which no one from the building ever entered her apartment (they just hung out downstairs by the stereo), yet it was still a good time lol.  She did finally manage to get her skills done for the next promotion, so that should happen next round.

At the House of Fallen Trees (see PV 3/3/21) Matthew got promoted, while Maura had the day off.  Maura still needs one more friend for a promotion.  Trinity was turned by her father and then accepted to La Fiesta Tech.  She is the first of her family to go to college - hope she survives.  India also grew into a teen so we're moving slowly ahead with the plan for a crime base.  Constance still has a few days before she'll be out of the house.

Andrzej Landgraab (see PV 3/3/21) was able to pay off his student loan this round, so that will be a huge load off his shoulders going forward.  He didn't get promoted, but it looks good for next round.  Also next round, Lane will grow up and the new baby will be born.

Eric Parker (see PV 3/4/21) got promoted to judge; he'll now have a couple of days off to work on skills.  Sophie Young finally found her dream job in Criminal, so we'll see how that goes for her.

Clarence and Tracy Ramirez (see PV 3/4/21) welcomed twin boys this round (Edwin and Ernest).  They're in pretty good shape financially so, for once, twins will not be a problem for them.  However, should they have a third child in the near future, they'll probably want to start looking for a larger place.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 6/3/25

 Nick Broke and Yvette Kim (see PV 2/28/21) still do not have the cash to move to a house (I'm thinking about instituting mortgages, but I have to think about it some more), so I'm keeping them here for now.  I think I've worked out a way to squeeze all three kids into the one bedroom, but it'll be tight.  With my luck, there'll be TWO new babies in the family.

Rose and Nerissa Gregory (see PV 3/1/21) decided (against all odds) this round to adopt a child.  Since they didn't quite have enough money, I had to wait until after they went to work (Rose got promoted btw) to make the call to the adoption agency.  Consequently, their new family member will not be arriving until Sunday morning.  I did have them go ahead and get the room ready in preparation.

AJ Broke (see PV 3/2/21) ran his cafe, but didn't make any money.  In fact, he lost money.  At least he still has his pension from when he was mayor and can do financial consulting on the side.  Gloria had the day off again and Xavier got his next promotion and sold a painting.  They should be in good shape once the rent comes due, which is not for a while in any event.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 6/2/25

 Orlando Bertino (see PV 2/27/21) got promoted and Teri dragged her grade up to a C+, for which Orlando rewarded her with a little dog she's been wanting.  The dog is very elderly, however, so I don't think he'll be around very long.  (I think he used to belong to Brandon Tellerman, but got taken away.)  I'm looking forward to something possibly happening with Orlando and Elise Bruty next round.  Stay tuned.

Clarence and Erin Philippine (see PV 2/27/21) have improved their relationship slightly, so they might just hang in there through this rough patch.  Erin had her first pop and is now on maternity leave.  Clarence got a promotion and will now have a couple days off.  They also bought a telescope and a bird for Crystal and their kitten grew up.

Renaud Delarosa and Brooke Lawson (see PV 2/27/21) spent a quiet Sunday at home.  They did a little cleaning and a little studying.  Renaud invited his sons over to add to their college funds.  Brooke had purchased a bird cage and a womrat cage at some point, so I let her place/stock them.  Nothing earthshattering occurred.

Heather Huffington (see PV 2/28/21) got yet another bad chance card - this one got her fired!  She nearly died (again), but I managed to save her (again).  Later on, she looked for another job, but Music was not available, so she took Artist for the time being.  Martin had the day off which he spent with friends.  They did not have the money to pay the rent, so I'm hoping Martin will make enough next round to get them caught up.

The big news for Joshua and Tiffany Ruben (see PV 2/28/21) is that they had TWINS!!  However, if you recall, they had decided not to keep them, so little Anthony and Ashley will be residing at Pleasantview Orphanage.  Joshua still didn't find the job he wants, but he has a few days off to work on the skills for the job he has.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 6/1/25

 The Long family (see PV 2/24/21) is still suffering from the slow time glitch, but everything else seems normal at the moment, so I didn't move them out.  Cole went to work and earned a much-needed promotion. Brittany continued to take maternity leave and spent her day cleaning the house and caring for baby Justin, who grew into a toddler this round.  The couple also decided to try for another baby, which will be due in a few days (or less maybe?)

Jace and Nancy Rusewicz (see PV 2/25/21) have improved on their relationship a bit but, in the meantime, the twins' grades have been suffering.  They just managed to get caught up on their homework, so maybe the situation will improve next round.  Money is getting really tight; Jace had the day off and Nancy got fired right before she had her first pop.

Calista Copur (see PV 2/25/21) got her body point and, subsequently, got promoted.  After work, she went out with some friends, then got a good night's sleep.  She needs body points for her next promotion, which she'll work on next round when she has the day off.

Frances and Marion Worthington (see PV 2/25/21) both got promoted, so they're in good shape when the rent comes due.  They also had a date which ended in a lullaby.  However, they've decided the time is not right for them to grow their family, so they'll be giving the little one up when it's born.

Almeric Davis and Anna Lawson (see PV 2/26/21) also found themselves expecting a new little bundle of joy which, unlike the Worthingtons, they will be keeping.  They both had the day off, so no money came in and finances are tight right now.  At least they had time to teach Hope some toddler skills.

Not only did Christy Ramirez (see PV 2/26/21) not get promoted - she actually got demoted!  At least it gave her some extra time to work on her master's, which she finished.  Checo went to his hobby lot to paint; he earned a couple hundred bucks, but did not paint a masterpiece.  When he returned home, he and Christy decided that now would be the perfect time to have a baby.  Never mind the fact that they barely have enough money to pay the rent, they can only come up with money for Rusty's college fund about half the time, they just got a new kitten, and Checo will likely not live long enough to even meet the new baby!  It's going to be messy lol - just the way I like it!

Happy Simming!
