Jane Nova (see PV 6/15/25) got a promotion and then discovered she's pregnant! Though it was unplanned, the couple is overjoyed to be welcoming their first child. They're not wealthy by any means, but they're doing fine and looking forward to the new arrival.
Happy Simming!
This round was a mixed bag of luck for Shanna Copur (see PV 6/12/25). First, she ran her shop; she ranked up, allowing for a randomly selected business perk, which turned out to be some desperately needed cash. She was able to restock one clothing rack, the perfume display, and the jewelry when it ran out. On top of that, she still had enough money to pay the rent when she got home. However, things took a turn for the worse later in the evening, when (as expected) Sarah passed away at the age of 65. Since she and Shanna were never married, the life insurance payment totaled less than $450 for all three family members. They weren't really in the mood to celebrate, but it was Jeff's teen birthday, so they had some cake and went to bed. Jeff rolled a LTW for Culinary btw.
It was business as usual for Chris and Xavier Sims (see PV 6/15/25). Chris slept the day away, while Xavier went off to work. Upon returning home, he took care of the baby, cleaned up the apartment, and invited some friends over. During the nighttime hours, Chris taught Jada to talk. At the end of the round, the family said goodbye to the apartment building that has been their home for quite some time; they'll be buying a house (likely in Pleasant Valley), where they'll be played next round.
Happy Simming!
Pamela Broke (see PV 6/11/25) is trying to adjust to parenthood by buying things (like a florist bench) for her daughter Kyra, but she's not really bonding with her just yet. Kyra is keeping in contact with her orphanage friends, and she briefly rolled a want to go to boarding school, but it's kind of nice having the things she's always wanted, so she's staying put for now.
Amy Shahan (see PV 6/12/25) did not expect to be preparing for retirement and being a single mother to a toddler at the same time...but here we are. She took her last vacation day this round to try to teach Jackson some toddler skills and clean up the apartment a bit. Next round she will work her final day in the Education career and then retire.
Erik Tomyoy (see PV 6/12/25) has still not found a job, but he took over all the cooking and cleaning for the household in the meantime. He and Klara successfully avoided each other for the entire day (it's not really that hard, given she sleeps all day lol). Stella attempted to make amends with Blossom with a phone chat, but it didn't go very well. At the end of the round, Erik and Stella moved out to find a place of their own.
Happy Simming!
On the alien lot (see PV 6/10/225) I moved in a Servo and one of Robi's townie friends in preparation for converting the lot to a school and to carry on the alien experiment, respectively. Remington is too old for any more alien babies and Robi has maybe one day left, so it's time for new blood. Quade is a few days from growing up but, since there's room for three more sims in the household, they'll start taking applications for the STEM school next round.
Cooper Seifert (see PV 6/10/25) got a promotion at work, Ivy inherited a small sum from her father Dylan, and Calvin grew into a child. Elise gave birth to boy/girl twins Miles and Morgan. I fear the financial stress is taking a toll on the couple's relationship; their numbers aren't looking very good at the moment.
Kevin and Marie Bruty (see PV 6/10/25) are having a baby! Michelle had another date with Goopy and finished her GED, which allowed her to take a job in Music (her LTW). Kevin needed a logic point for his job, so I had him stargaze for a bit. I had the insane thought that it would be fun if Kevin got abducted and Michelle got "accidentally" pregnant on her date - they'd all be expecting at the same time lol! But neither of those things happened, so it's just the one baby for now (or maybe two, who knows?)
Devin Wong (see PV 6/11/25) got a promotion, while Patrick had the day off.
Happy Simming!
Edwin and Delilah Sharpe (see PV 6/5/25) have been fighting a lot lately and their relationship is suffering for it. Meanwhile, Delilah and Mitch are still going strong, with Edwin none the wiser. The baby will be born next round.
DJ Verse (see PV 6/5/25) did some financial consulting on her day off, while Calista got promoted at work.
Max Flexor (see PV 6/5/25) had a pretty bad day. He's sick with the mysterious disease, so he was in a fairly bad mood all day. I thought he'd perk up a bit when he went out with some friends, but only one of the group showed up and he came home tired and miserable. He didn't get much done on his degree and wasn't able to look for a job in Politics. He'll be starting off next round pretty deep in the red and needing to go to work. Yikes.
Aaron Broke (see PV 6/5/25) graduated high school and got accepted to SSU, where he'll be played next round. Brian is going to have a hard time making ends meet without Aaron's income, especially since he'll need to employ a nanny to watch Bridget in the afternoons.
Goopy GilsCarbo (see PV 6/6/25) got promoted, went back to work in the evening, and got promoted again. Brandon had the day off. I'm thinking about getting them a house, since they've got a pretty decent amount of savings.
Geoffrey Ottomas (see PV 6/6/25) had his first pop this round. Sabastian went to work and then out with some friends. Damon grew into a teen with a LTW to top Music.
Weldon Smith got settled into his new rental house and was lucky enough to find a job in Culinary right away. He went out with some friends and met some walkbys as well. All told, it was a pretty good start to his adulthood.
Braden Dreamer (see 6/6/25) invited his ex-girlfriend Pamela over, along with the daughter (Kyra) that she recently regained custody of...the daughter who is also his. He felt it was only right that he should try to get to know the girl, as well as offer some financial support in the way of adding to her college fund. Later that evening, he found a job in Gamer and switched over. Mira's dog died and she went out with some friends to try to take her mind off her loss. Back at home, she cleaned up a bit and went straight to bed. Riley still has some time left, but she's been giving some thought to who will inherit her considerable fortune, as well as her house. Since she doesn't have any children, she will likely split her money between her two brothers, Landon and Armando, who are the only family members she's close to, and as they both own homes of their own already, she'll leave the house to Landon's bigfoot, Amar.
On the plant sim lot (see PV 6/7/25) Dominic Picaso passed away at the age of 73. The remaining sims on the lot are Sandy Bruty and her son Charles, who are both in their 70s, with Charles' bar closer to the end than his mother's.
Mia Landry (see PV 6/7/25) got a promotion at work and she and Liam threw a party.
Happy Simming!
Moving on to Downtown...
Xander and Gloria Goss (see PV 6/3/25) decided, at long last, to start their family. Unfortunately, Xander got a bad chance card at work and lost his job not long after the lullaby sounded. Luckily, Gloria makes good money, even on maternity leave, so they should be ok. Xander was unable to find Journalism again, but he'll keep searching.
Jan Tellerman's (see PV 6/4/25) day started off badly. Her butler, for some reason, called the police when he arrived, and it ended up costing Jan a $500 fine, since there was no emergency. After that, Jan went to work, where she got a bad chance card that cost her $20,000 and two logic points; consequently, she did not get her promotion. Upon returning home, she fired the butler and hired a maid instead, had her daughter Teri over for a bit, and was invited out for drinks with some friends. Since AJ Broke was hanging out in her apartment when she got the call to go out, she asked him to join her. Things got pretty steamy between Jan and AJ during the outing and they sealed the deal upon returning to the apartment building. After AJ left, Jan did manage to get one logic point back, but she's still short one, so she won't be getting promoted next round either.
At the House of Fallen Trees (see PV 6/4/25) Maura got promoted; she is now high enough in the Law career to defend any potential Criminals who move to the future crime base. Matthew had the night off, which he used to get the last mechanical point he'll need for his career; all that is needed now is for Matthew to get promoted up to Criminal Mastermind, at which point other Criminals can start moving in, as space permits.
The recent death of Stacy Landgraab's (see PV 6/4/25) mother (Amelia Pearson) was sad news, but the inheritance certainly helped to furnish the apartment, especially in light of the birth of their second son Kyle (and the birthday of their first son). Andrzej brought home a promotion bonus as well, so the family is in pretty good shape.
Sophie Young (see PV 6/4/25) got a promotion at work, and then she and Eric went on a date, which was mediocre at best. Eric got all the points needed for his next promotion.
Clarence Ramirez (see PV 6/4/25) got a chance card that lost him the mechanical point he'd just earned, so no promotion. Tracy had the day off, which was spent caring for the twins, who grew into toddlers this round. Tracy is keen on having another baby, but their relationship is suffering under the stress of work/family life, so it's not happening at the moment.
Calvin Dreamer (see PV 6/5/25) had a date with Brooke Larson which went very well. They're not ready to move in just yet, but we'll see how things develop with them.
Dagmar Grundstrom (see PV 6/5/25) went out with friends, did some stargazing which earned her $500, and checked the paper first thing in the morning for a night job, but was unsuccessful in her search.
Happy Simming!
Martin Ruben (see PV 6/2/25) earned just enough money to pay the rent (they now have $0). Heather had the day off, which she spent getting in and out of the coffin like it was her (second) job. She survived but failed once again to find a job in Music.
Tiffany Ruben (see PV 6/2/25) got demoted, while her husband had the day off. Nothing else of note occurred.
Yvette Kim (see PV 6/3/25) gave birth to a baby girl, Veronica. Nick took the girls out for an afternoon at the rec center. Next round, both the baby and Kiara will age up. Also, since I've instituted mortgages, the family will be moving into a home of their own.
Rose and Nerissa Gregory (see PV 6/3/25) spent a quiet day together. They went out for coffee in the morning, then spent the rest of the day with household chores before Nerissa went to work at night. Their toddler will arrive next round.
Happy Simming!
