Update 11/29/21

 I'm finished with Belladonna for the time being.  I've spent the last several days copying over some stories that I wrote for a forum I was on years ago back over into my game, which has been pretty time consuming.  Now that I'm done with that, I'm playing the legacy that one of the stories was about and continuing the story.  I'm not going to post any of that here, as it's a lot of work to get the pics copied over, not to mention copying all the text over yet again.  When I finish playing the legacy I'll probably move on to the other story/challenge, which is longer and more story driven.  I will also not be putting that on here, so I'll likely be away for a while.  However, once I'm done with that, I'll be back to regular updates with whichever 'hood I decide to play.  Until then - Happy Simming!

Isaiah Gavigan moved back home after graduation and was lucky enough to get hired on as an executive assistant right away, which is a huge help to the family finances.  Nathan is grateful to his son for being willing to help out; two paychecks are better than one.  The other kids have been doing a lot to help out around the house as well, which gives Nathan more time to focus on his career.  Hopefully his hard work will lead to a bonus soon.

Marcus Baldwin finished the semester with a 3.0 GPA and is ready to head into his final term of junior year.  The dorm has become pretty quiet recently with so many sims either graduating or dropping out.  He's still seeing Cat, however, and is thinking of proposing.

Etsu Cho maintained her 4.0 GPA.  She will also be heading into her final semester of junior year.

Happy Simming!

Ever since Courtney turned two in March, Samantha Green has been thinking about having another baby.  She knows it's a long shot at her age, but Gabe is game so they've started trying.  In the meantime, Gabe brought home another dog for Tucker to play with since he doesn't really get along with Sam's cats.  If they don't have another child, at least Courtney will have lots of animal friends to play with.

Happy Simming!

Geoff Rutherford had a night off and decided to invite over his sister's family.  He wanted to meet his new brother-in-law and get to know Justin's husband and daughter a little better.  Unfortunately, Leo couldn't make it, but they all still had a great time watching movies together and telling stories about old times.  Geoff really needed the family bonding time.  He's feeling much more positive about the future now.

Happy Simming!

Everyone maintained the status quo in the Riley household.  Tim is loving hanging out with Adam more.  Sally continues to love her job and reject the idea of a serious relationship, much to Vivian's chagrin.  Vivian is still ruling the roost, but she really misses Etsu.

In the wake of Gavin's departure from SSU, he and Ginger decided to move into their own place together.  Faith and Herb were sad to see them go, but they can't afford to support them without the benefit of foster child payments which ended when they turned 18.  The younger siblings will stay, of course, but Gavin and Ginger assured them they'd visit as often as possible once they get settled somewhere.

Happy Simming!

Ana Patel's patience has paid off.  She discovered that she is pregnant with her fifth child, who will be due next April.  Ramir is less excited, but at least it'll keep his wife busy.  She won't have time to snoop and uncover his affair.  Ryman and Delia are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their new sibling, but Bharat and Kaja think it's kind of gross that their parents are still having babies in their forties.

Happy Simming!

Benjamin Baldwin was elected to Congress recently, which came with a substantial pay raise.  The family has finally turned a corner, financially, and things are looking up.  Sofia finally had some time off from work to spend with Almeric, but it just didn't feel the same.  She still loves him, but is beginning to wonder if she's in love with him.  Ethan finally finished all the makeup work his teacher sent home for him, so hopefully his grades will be on the rise soon.

Happy Simming!
