Pleasantview 9/30/20

Since we last checked in with Amelia Pearson (see PV 8/1/20), she has gained a grandchild and lost a daughter.  Poor dear has had so much loss in her life.  Luke and Delia did decide they wanted to move in together, however there's not enough room to fit everyone in, so it'll have to wait until Amelia dies.  They had to settle for a date.  In other news, Luke sold the adult dog he had and adopted another kitten.  Next round the other cat will grow up, getting Luke to 13 puppies/kittens raised.  Also, the twins grew into toddlers this round, while Juliet remains a child.

Sorry for the short update, but I'm running short on time today.  Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 9/29/20

When last we checked in with Belinda Alpha (see PV 7/31/20) she had just moved her new girlfriend in.  This time they decided spontaneously to get married, which probably annoyed Belinda's ex, Amy, considering they were together a very long time and Belinda always refused marriage until ultimately Amy left her for someone who did want marriage.  It probably won't last long in any event, given that Rebecka may end up going to jail and Belinda is getting pretty old.  Bryan went to work, had an outing with some guy friends, and booty called Meadow Todd.  It was a pretty good day for him actually.

Toby Grundstrom's household (see PV 7/31/20) was a little less chaotic than usual, though there were some developments.  For one, Roger grew into a teen with the LTW to marry off six kids.  I'll work out his job next round.  Also, Melody and Marcus' baby was born, a son they named Lucas.  It looks like we may have a split soon as Dagmar and Toby have not been getting along lately.  Dagmar is almost ready to call it quits.  We'll see what she decides next round.

The Jones/McCullough clan (see PV 7/31/20) was pretty quiet this round.  Under the new rules, Darlene and Phil could choose to have children, but they decided against it for now.  Ryker and Audrey could choose to have some kids as well, thought they'd have to adopt as Audrey is too old to have children.  They also decided against it; I think they like their lives the way they are.  Everyone was home all day since Ryker and Darlene had the day off, Audrey was taking her last vacation day before switching to a Business career, and Phil hadn't found his job yet.  In a stroke of luck, both Audrey and Phil found the jobs they wanted after midnight.  In addition, Darlene rolled the want to become a werewolf and her father wanted to bite someone, so he turned her.  Shortly thereafter, Phil also rolled the want, but they all turned back before anyone had the chance to bite him.  I locked it in for next round.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 9/28/20

Wanda and Gabe Smith (see PV 7/29/20) received their new bundle of joy this round, a girl they named Ruby.  Everyone in the family dotes on her.  Also, thanks to a small inheritance Wanda received from her late ex-husband Stephen, they were able to pay everyone's college funds.  Unfortunately, near the end of the day, their cat Tom decided to go on a diet and ended up getting himself and the dog Buster taken away.  They could only afford to buy Buster back, and will have to get Tom back asap next round.

Ella Ottomas (see PV 7/30/20) had the day off and spent it painting.  In the evening she had an outing with a couple of friends and her mother Lila.  She met a few new people who may eventually become the friends she desperately needs for her job.

Katie Tellerman (see PV 7/30/20) worked her last day today, as she reached retirement age this round.  She went out with some friends to celebrate.  Meanwhile, Ericka graduated high school and headed out to La Fiesta Tech.  She skipped her last day of school and hung out with friends at the local coffee shop.  Ericka doesn't need a degree for her LTW, but she wants to have the college "experience".

Patrick Davison (see PV 7/30/20) will definitely die before the dog, so it looks like old Kyser will become a placeholder until I find someone to move in.  I'm thinking one of Andrew Ottomas' kids?  The former owners of the house were Lisa and Amin Sims; Lisa was Andrew's sister, so it might make sense to move one of her nieces or nephews in.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 9/27/20

Jessie Larson (see PV 7/28/20) still lives!!  I thought she was a goner for sure this time, but nope, she's 82 and still hanging in there.  Jessie ran her gallery today and spent some time getting to know her granddaughter who recently moved in with her mother after Brooke and Luke broke up.  Brooke's other children remain with their father.  If you're keeping track, that's three of Jessie's children now living back home with her: Daniel (who never left actually), Brianna, and Brooke.  The other two, Mason and Alyssa, are in prison and college, respectively.  Daniel's business was closed today, so he hung around the house enjoying his day off.  Brianna managed to get to work and back without burning up in the sun, so that's a win for her.  She worked on her charisma during the night, but is still about a half point shy of that final promotion.  Brooke went to work in the evening and would've been promoted, but she got a bad chance card that cost her a body point.  She got the point back upon returning home.  Brooke's daughter Sabrina needed to have a play date, but the only other child she knows is her sister Juliet, so she invited her over.  Brianna's daughter Kiara also came by, so at least that was something.

Tosha Go (see PV 7/29/20) was slightly more interesting than usual.  She had an outing with friends this round and actually socialized with them a little bit.  She spent a good while chatting with Stuart, who is the only one of her friends who is still a townie.  They have one bolt and may end up having a date at some point.  Tosha's only current love interest is a married man.  Back at home Tosha adopted a kitten and played on the computer for a while until the sun came up.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 9/26/20

Hailey Cox and Evan Dreamer (see PV 7/27/20) had their hands full this round with all three boys aging up.  Hunter became a teen (Family/Knowledge) and rolled the LTW to top Oceanography.  Noah became a child and Brendan became a toddler and rolled a 20 (out of 20) which means he gets smart milk during toddlerhood.  Hailey didn't have much time to work on sports and though Evan went to work, he didn't get promoted because he needs several skill points.  Consequently, they didn't have the money to contribute to college funds this round.

Megan Broke (see PV 7/27/20) had the day off so she didn't have to worry about going out into that pesky sun.  The boys hung around all day, enjoying their last day of teenhood.  They both graduated high school, Jason with an A+ and Travis with a B.  Jason will be attending Academie Le Tour next round, while Travis will be living at home and looking for a Slacker job.

That's all for today.  Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 9/25/20

Over at the Andersen/Landgraab household (see PV 7/25/20), Naomi ran her business, getting it to rank 4 and earning over $900.  Her baby will be born next round I think.  Holly took care of Hope (who became a toddler this round) and the pets.  Her pets will reach adulthood next round and she'll trade them in for two more puppies/kittens.  Mallory had the day off so she worked on her degree, finishing part one and beginning part two.

Solveig Bachman and company (see PV 7/25/20) spent an uneventful day at home, as they were all off work and had no social events this round.  Solveig spent some time skilling for her LTW.  Todd is sick with the mysterious disease and spent most of his time in the bathroom.

Lakshmi and Evan Broke (see PV 7/26/20) were in for quite a wild ride this round.  It started off with the normal chaos of potty training toddlers, feeding/bathing pets, supervising Ricky's play date, and handing out college funds to the kids who don't live with them.  Then it all took a turn and they ended up breaking up.  They've been on the verge for a while and it all just came to a head this round.  Evan moved out immediately, leaving the children in Lakshmi's custody, and will be moving in with Heather Broke, who he's been having an affair with for some time.  If you're keeping count, that's three failed marriages for Lakshmi and two for Evan.

The Greaves' household (see PV 7/27/20) runs like clockwork.  Jonathan and the girls go off to work/school in the morning, while Demi sleeps in and then does some chores around the house.  Demi leaves for work at 1:00, just as Kylie is returning home from school.  Kylie calls in the nanny and leaves for work at 2:00.  The nanny arrives in time to watch Emily from 3:00 to 4:00, when Jonathan gets home from work and dismisses her.  Emily plays with the friend she brought home from school for a few hours, then does her homework.  Kylie returns home at 6:00 and wants to have an outing with some friends, but no one is available so she settles for doing her homework and scrubbing some toilets for the cleaning point she needs for work.  She then prepares dinner for the family, just as Demi is returning home from work.  The girls go to bed after dinner and Jonathan and Demi clean up and work on teaching the cat a command he needs for work.  What a difference between this house and the one above, lol.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 9/24/20

Sasha Dreamer's house (see PV 7/24/20) was full of the usual drama.  She had a peaceful day spending time with her new granddaughter, while the guys were at work and Donna was asleep.  The guys went right to sleep upon returning home and Donna headed off to work.  However, as soon as she got home it was open season on her mom.  Donna's not the nicest individual under normal circumstances, but when she's pregnant she's insane.  It was all slapping and poking until Sasha went to bed to get away from her.  She then proceeded to have an argument with Orlando as well before finally putting everyone out of their misery by going to bed herself.  Never once did she interact with her daughter, I might add.

Tosha Futa (see PV 7/24/20) went to work and then had a girls' night out bowling with some of her friends.  While she was out the only guy she met was Justin Kim, who I certainly won't wish on her.  They only chatted briefly, so I don't see things going anywhere with that, thank goodness.  Blake rolled his LTW finally and it isn't good.  He wants to be a Criminal.  Tosha will be heartbroken.  At least he won't be entering that career until his reaches adulthood (unless he rolls the want to get a job and that's what randomly gets selected).  He briefly wanted to go to private school, but then he skipped school to hang out with his only friend and the want rolled away.  It's always the quiet loners that turn into bad seeds, isn't it?

Happy Simming!
