 Gunnar Roque and Jasmine Rai (see PV 8/28/20) had an uneventful round.  They both had the day off and were sick.  They got invited out bowling which was fun, but the rest of their time was spent taking turns vomiting and napping.  The mysterious disease is never going away in this town.

Calvin Latte (see PV 8/29/20) had the day off from work, so he went on an outing with a friend.  While he was out he met a couple of new sims, but no one that he really hit it off with.  After he returned home, one of the sims he'd met (Phyllis Gieke) called him and they chatted for a bit.  They have negative chemistry though, so I don't really see a future there.

Kevin Beare (see PV 8/29/20) had a pretty good day.  He got a promotion and then went out bowling with friends.  At the rate he's going, he might be able to get a better place soon.

Caryl Grundstrom (see PV 8/29/20) went to work, but didn't get promoted.  She also didn't find her desired career in Business.  She's still pretty broke, but I think she'll have enough to make the rent when it comes due.

Roxie Sharpe has just moved into Las Casas after breaking up with her boyfriend Jonah Powers.  She didn't find a job in Culinary, but took Architecture in the meantime.  She spent the day hanging out with a friend, but ultimately decided she's not cut out for living alone and decided to move in with Phineaus Furley.  Since his apartment at Melrose is nicer, she'll move there.  We'll see how long that lasts, given she's also seeing Max Flexor.

Happy Simming!

 Ben Tellerman (see PV 8/28/20) had an uneventful day.  He hung out around the complex all morning, went to work in the afternoon, and went to bed.  He didn't get promoted, but he's on track to pay the rent come Monday, so that's better than a lot of the folks who live here.

Phineaus Furley (see PV 8/28/20) had his first day of work this round.  He brought home just over $600 and his first purchase was a bed.  He can't quite afford a bookcase, however, so he'll have to scrub the toilet for the cleaning skill he needs.  On the bright (?) side he has the mysterious disease so he's constantly dirtying up the toilet.

Since we last caught up with Will Bruty (see PV 8/28/20), his friend Quinn Leong has moved in with him.  After that disastrous outing, Quinn's girlfriend kicked him out, so here he is.  Will promptly decided (per the new rules) that the most sensible thing for a single guy, with no serious relationship and very little cash, to do would be to have a child.  He grew a plant baby and got a little more than he bargained for because he ended up with twin girls, Anna and Ella.  Since he and Quinn work similar hours, he'll have to pay for a nanny for the next few days, but then they'll grow up and get jobs, so maybe it wasn't such a crazy idea after all?

Emily Lee (see PV 8/28/20) had a date with one of her boyfriends (Tom Freshe) and then went off to work, where she earned a promotion.  It was a good thing she did because, not only did she have a hefty loan payment to make and bills to pay, but she was robbed as well.  The thief was caught and she got some money, but she had to shell out several hundred dollars to replace her belongings.

Happy Simming!

 Update: After playing through Joel, Chaz, and Tom again, the only changes were that Joel did not get his pay docked, Tom got a good chance card that gave him $4000, and both Tom and Chaz found their desired jobs after midnight.

Arianna and Zoe Bruty (see PV 8/27/20) welcomed a daughter into their family this round.  Her name is Jeannie and she's a toddler.  Since Arianna had the day off, they both had plenty of time to spend with their new addition.  Of course, they didn't get too much skilling done, but Arianna will be off again next round, so she can work on it then.

With bills looming, Guy Wrightley (see PV 8/28/20) had to get a job.  He chose a job in the Artist career because it had morning hours, allowing him to work his business at night.  Next round he'll be expected to come up with a business loan payment, as well as a student loan payment, and bills will also be due.  I don't really think that's going to happen, so he'll likely be adding a lot of interest onto his loans.  Hopefully his new job will help.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 10/26/20

 Meredith Landgraab (see PV 8/27/20) just barely made the rent payment this round after so many days off in a row.  Over the next few days she'll use up her vacation time before retiring, which will at least bring in some decent cash.  Not a moment too soon either, since they need groceries, bills will be due soon, and once Meredith retires her income will shrink significantly.  Good thing Carter stays on top of the kids' college funds because Meredith does not have the money for that.

Over at the Custer/Grundstrom household (see PV 8/27/20), Dwayne asked his girlfriend Lexie Broke to move in and she accepted.  Delilah and Mark were not interested in progressing their relationships, though they did have dates with their significant others.  Everyone went to work, but only Dwayne and Lexie got promoted.  The rest of their time was spent skilling for jobs and/or playing with the new puppy (Stoker) they got to keep the other puppy (Bram) company.

Joel Hanby, Chaz Whippler, and Tom Freshe (see PV 8/27/20) all went to work, none got promoted, and Joel got a bad chance card that caused his pay to get docked.  Neither Chaz nor Tom found the job they wanted and will have to keep on with the jobs they have.  Everyone had a group outing, but I was too lazy to sent them all out, so they had their outings at home.  Unfortunately, the game crashed as I was saving, so I have no idea if any of this actually happened.  I'll check tomorrow and play them over if I need to.

On that note, Happy Simming? 😕

Pleasantview 10/25/20

 Jane and Castor Nova (see PV 8/26/20) spent a quiet morning together before both heading out to work.  Unfortunately, neither got promoted, despite having all the skills/friends they need.  Jane spent time working on her masters; she finished the first half and started working on the second.

Matthew Hart (see PV 8/26/20) had the day off today, while his roommate William Williamson worked and got promoted.  He's really moving up the ranks a lot faster than Matthew.  He spent his entire bonus and then some on a telescope so he can earn logic for the next promotion.  Both had group outings with friends.  Matthew would like to move in with his girlfriend, Jessie Pilferson, but she's opposed to the idea.  William prefers to keep both his girlfriends at bay on that topic.

Eric Landgraab (see PV 8/26/20) decided to adopt an elderly cat this round.  She won't be around long, but at least she has a home.  After work, Eric was due for a date.  Unfortunately, he looked all around this town and all he found was Heath (Lothario, a vampire/werewolf and, oh yeah, married).  I don't suppose it bothers Eric overly much, given he's an evil warlock, but there's not much future in it.  

Happy Simming!

 Shanna Copur (see PV 8/25/20) had a little bit of luck this round.  While running her boutique she earned a benefit point of $1000, which allowed her to restock the perfume in addition to jewelry.  She still can't restock any of the clothes, but she's making some progress at least.  Upon returning home, her landlord informed her that the rent was so late that it would be added to her bills.  When this happens, I give my sims until the end of the day to pay that bill or be evicted.  Luckily, Sarah was able to earn the rest of the money they needed just before dawn by doing financial consulting all night.  It's only a temporary reprieve, of course, because the rent will be due again in a few days, but they're keeping their heads above water for the time being.

Chris and Xavier Sims (see PV 8/25/20) had a slightly better round this time.  They're all still sick and Xavier got demoted at work, but he did put in a good amount of work on his degree and it'll be the weekend next round, so Kurt can catch up on homework.  The new baby will also arrive next round.

Happy Simming!

Pleasantview 10/23/20

 Pamela Broke (see PV 8/24/20) is on her own again, which I think she prefers actually.  She got a promotion at work and then went on a date with Braden Dreamer.  The date went well, but Pam's not interested in a more serious relationship at the moment.  Back at home she acquired the cleaning point she needed for her job and went to bed.  The only thing that marred her day was being sick with a mysterious disease, but I'm sure she'll come through it quickly like she does everything else.

This round Amy and Meadow Shahan (see PV 8/24/20) decided to adopt another child, who will arrive next round.  There will be quite an age difference between the kids, as Elise will be growing up into a teen next time.  In other news, Amy got another promotion, which is great for her LTW as well as their bank account.  Both she and Meadow will have the next two days off which works really well for bonding with the new baby and celebrating Elise's birthday.

Blossom, Klara, and Stella (see PV 8/24/20) were kept busy this round with group outings, work, and skilling.  Both Blossom and Klara got promoted, though Blossom is still not working in the field of her choice.  Stella had the day off and used it to get the needed skills for promotion.  Though both Blossom and Stella would like to get more serious with William, he's not budging on retaining his independence.

Happy Simming!
