Pleasantview 12/14/25

 Cara Broke (see PV 7/10/25) went to work and then had a date with her boyfriend Ben Tellerman.  During the date she rolled the want to get engaged, which Ben already had locked in, so I had her propose.  However, she still doesn't want to move in together and she didn't roll the want to get married (although Ben did), so for now they'll maintain the status quo.  If she also rolls the want for marriage at some point, it will override her Pleasure sim desire to remain footloose and fancy free.

Lucy Hanby (see PV 7/10/25) has had the want to get married locked for what seems like an eternity, but Aiden is still holding firm about not tying the knot.  He's getting up there in age though, so maybe once he's gone Lucy will finally move on to someone who is interested in marriage.  Incidentally, the ghost of her cat Tiger seems to be determined to help her out by scaring Aiden incessantly lol.

Since last round with Gavin Jacquet (see PV 7/10/25), he has moved his girlfriend, Michelle Kearney (formerly an orphanage caregiver), in with him.  He's pretty keen on getting married, but Michelle doesn't want that, though she did agree to try for a baby (which was successful).  Michelle's LTW is for Medicine but, given she's spent more than half of her adulthood at the orphanage, she hasn't had the opportunity to earn her degree.  So, she'll be working on that for the time being.  With the age/status difference between them, it certainly looks like Michelle may be taking advantage of Gavin to further her own goals in life, but it remains to be seen how things work out for them.

Armando Ottomas and Nadine Kim (see PV 7/11/25) decided to get married this round.  Apart from that, things are not looking great for them.  Armando got fired from his job but was able to find Intelligence again (not at the same level though). Nadine became an elder and both she and Armando wanted to adopt another child, but they were rejected by the agency for being too broke, which is fair because they're already supporting six kids between them and Armando didn't make any money this round.

Happy Simming!

 Pleasantview Prison (see PV 7/9/25) still has four inmates: Mason Tellerman, Rosemary Bruty, Alvin Broke, and Allegra Phoenix.  Both Mason and Alvin will be up for parole in two more days, though Mason is significantly more likely to be released.

Tess Landgraab (see PV 7/10/25) was not as lucky with the promotion this time; she'll have to wait until her next workday.  Her son Shane did get promoted, but it wasn't exactly a good time for it, as he later got arrested and sent to prison (with a longer sentence than he would have had if he hadn't been promoted).  Kate's grades are very low, but Stephen was able to help her with her homework, so they should come up once she gets back to class.  Apart from that, the family adopted another kitten, bringing them to four cats in total.

Happy Simming!

 Continuing with Briarwood...

Boys' Dorm A (see PV 7/8/25) has six students: Ray Grundstrom, Hunter Cox, Marcel Dennis, Sean Tellerman, Wesley Grundstrom, and Edgar Gieke.  Ray graduated but opted not to attend Uni; he'll be moving into a place of his own somewhere.  The only boy who was able to get a date was Marcel (with Jeannette Korman); it went well, very sweet.  No one is set to graduate next round and Hunter, who is currently the oldest, doesn't look good to graduate at all, given his low grades.  That's unfortunate, as he's interested in going into Oceanography, which requires a master's degree; it's still doable of course, but will take a lot more time and effort with online classes.

Boys' Dorm B (see PV 7/8/25) has six students: Richard Ottomas, Teddy Korman, Parker Ottomas, Anton Kim, Shay Bruty, and Steven Ottomas.  Richard and Teddy graduated and left to attend LFT and ALT, respectively.  Parker earned a promotion at his job; he'll be graduating next round.

Girls' Dorm B (see PV 7/8/25) still had five students:  Madison Kim, Violet Grundstrom, Caryl Bruty, Elise Shahan, and Katrina Swain.  Madison and Violet both graduated and left for college (SSU and ALT).  All the teens worked (Caryl got promoted) and had dates (except for Caryl, whose date did not feel like hanging out).  No one is set to graduate next round, but we may see some new students move in, with only three girls left in this unit.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 11/29/25

 Lam Plaza (see PV 7/3/25) still has two students: Gabriella Hamilton and Kimberli Cox.

    This round was fairly uneventful for the girls; they both spent time with family/friends, they both made the Dean's List, and they both maintained their 4.0 GPAs.  Gabi will graduate next round and Kim will finish sophomore year.

At Casteroff (see PV 7/3/25), our final student, Dawn Grundstrom, finished her master's degree for Medicine, did a little painting, and moved out to live with her boyfriend Andrew Dreamer in his family home.  This dorm is now vacant and ready for some new freshmen to move in.

At Mille House (see PV 7/4/25) there are four students this round: Savannah Broke, Noelle Tellerman, Aaron GilsCarbo, and Max Deppiesse.

    Savannah completed her master's degree for Intelligence, fell in love with Max, and moved out at the end of the term to live with her uncle (not cousin as previously stated) Lucas (she wanted to move in with David Ottomas, but he wasn't into it).

    All three of the others rolled wants to join Greek houses, so the boys joined Nagard-Fruhm-Cham and Noelle joined Tri-Annya.  They all got in, scored perfect grades (and GPAs), became sophomores, and moved to their respective houses at the end of the round.

    Mille House is now vacant until more students move in.

Moving on to Briarwood Prep...

Girls' Dorm A (see PV 7/8/25) was packed with six girls this round: Daphne Dreamer, Kylie Greaves, Emily Greaves, Mariah Landgraab, and newcomers Kaitlyn Ottomas and Joanne Ottomas.  It was date night for the teens, but only Daphne and Emily were successful in getting dates.  Daphne and Kylie graduated and headed off to LFT and ALT, respectively, freeing up some space for new students.  Mariah is set to graduate next time, but her grades are pretty low and I don't think she's going to make it.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 11/28/25

 At Nagard-Fruhm-Cham (see PV 7/2/25) there were three members this term: Andrew Dreamer, Jess Creelman, and Jason Fancey.

    Andrew spent the semester working, earning $1500, which he will take with him as he moves back into the family home with his mother and stepfather.

    Jess and Jason both earned A+ grades, with Jess continuing senior year with a 3.8 GPA, and Jason becoming a senior with a 4.0 GPA.

    If the guys don't get a new member soon, they'll need to get a placeholder.

Over at Romara, there is still just one student: Jason Broke.

    Jason finished the term with an A+ and a 4.0.  He'll wrap up junior year next round, at which point he'll move to the special housing I've created for students pursuing master's degrees.  (This is something new I'm doing to make things a bit easier for these students, as well as more interesting for me.)

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 11/22/25

 At Tri-Annya (see 7/1/25) there are now four members: Vicki McGaw, Lauren Greaves, Cybil Fancey, and Caryl Broke.

    Vicki finished freshman year, Lauren will graduate next term, and Cybil and Caryl will be finishing sophomore year next round.  All four ladies continue to maintain perfect 4.0 GPAs.  Nothing else particularly exciting happened, but they did manage to get a competent gardener, so that was something.

Happy Simming!

 Desert Dorm (see PV 6/30/25) has just one resident, new student Glen Gray.

    Glen is an incoming freshman, majoring in biology with the intent to go into Medicine.  He's starting off right with an A+ for the semester and a 4.0 GPA.  He is a little homesick though.

At ALT, Blake Tellerman graduated Summa Cum Laude, and will spend his final term on campus working on his master's degree in Science.  His girlfriend Amanda finished her freshman year with another A+; she'll begin sophomore year next round.

Happy Simming!
