they are just hanging out... since it is the first day of summer I let Bottom throw a party. there is really not really much else to do. she invited all her friends aside from the ones who currently hate each other

Beau started his usual three-hour tangent about which kinds of milkshakes are the best. Bottom fled almost as soon as he sat down.

the votes came in and decreed that joseph gets to live alone and free once he ages and bottom moves to college. here he is Not getting along with Beatrice.

Bottom was struck by lightning and had to take up the bathroom for a long shower while a line formed outside. I always forget that this massive house has exactly two bathrooms and 500 useless hallways.

I've been enjoying playing my maxis uberhood recently. I made quite a few premades into townies or just am choosing not to play some households except to age sims up manually every now and then, as it's overwhelming enough as it is! It's maybe 36 households currently I think, so it's taken ages to play 11 days each!

Anyway, I thought it would be fun to list the babies born so far, and the ones due in the next round:

Born so far: Pascal Curious & Alien = Qi Curious Samantha & Peter Ottomas = Leah Ottomas Brandi & Skip Broke = Betty Broke Jenny & PT Smith = Joseph Smith Ana & Ramir Patel = Uma Patel Dina & Mortimer Goth (was Caliente) = Yuri Goth Wanda & Stephen Tinker = Aria Tinker Sophia & Marcel Jocque = Blue & Blanche Jocque (twins) Circe & Loki Beaker = Cassiphone Beaker Vidcund Curious & Alien = Dag Curious Pascal & Nervous Curious (was Subject) = Enya Curious Lisa & Checo Ramirez = Fabio Ramirez Jennifer & John Burb = Grace Burb Rose & Jason Greenman = Hibiscus Greenman Ana & Ramir Patel = Inaya Patel Kaylynn Langerak & Daniel Pleasant = Jared Pleasant

And currently pregnant: Cassandra & Darren Dreamer (was Goth) Titania & Oberon Summerdream Circe & Loki Beaker Albany Capp & Alien (twins) Lisa & Checo Ramirez Opal & Edward Contrary Armand & Samantha DeBateau (was Cordial) Chastity Gere & Gabriel Green Bianca Monty & Vidcund Curious (twins)

I'm really looking forward to seeing all these kids grow into teens and start running around hanging out, and seeing their genetics play out! I'll post an update once I've got a bunch of born in-game children, so we can see how they look a bit better than the usually-bizarre toddler stage.

Rodeburg to Europa

Rodeburg: A quaint little village that time has forgotten, but lately, a bunch of strange occurrences have caused fear among the community. What happened to Joseph van de Berg? What illness has befallen business mogul Konrad Pechstein? Why has Henri Trist returned after so many years? And what is up with that Nocenti woman?

The southern road out of Rodeburg leads to Veronaville.

Two houses, alike in dignity... The Capps and Montys have been feuding for years, but that hasn't stopped the younger generation from crossing boundaries and falling in love. Will their actions lead to ruin, or bring the two families together?

Travelling further south from Veronaville, the road winds into Europa.

Europa is a small, rural town with a rich history. With local businesses all owned by the residents, Europa has a strong sense of community and tradition. Scandals never die, but cross the Fusilli family, and you may not be so lucky.

Round 1 | Round 2

Households:

Legrand | Pechstein | Schleedorn | Trist | van de Berg | Nocenti | Linguine | Tortellini | Farfalle | Rocchetti | Fusilli | Monty | Capp | Summerdream

The Summerdreams

Joseph's a busy teenager. after checking himself out in the mirror he has to go to school and do his homework then he has to go to work and doesn't really get done with all that until almost 8 at night.

today however he decided to ask Trevor on a date :) even though it was late he still agreed and they did a bunch of pillow fighting and a little bit of telling jokes.

Also had their first kiss and agreed to go steady, then ended the date at a reasonable 10pm. aw :)

he is now named trevor. yippee. Everyone in this household works or has school at the same time, so the entire afternoon is pretty empty.

YAY!!!!

Dustin gets home from work long enough to stand around and then walk back. Oh well. He was going to fix the shower that's been broken for several days, but work is more important.

Since they're raking in cash, a porch expansion was justified.

Trevor arrived home and brought Joseph with him. They had a ticke fight while the local zombie walked the family cat around.

Dina called up the college kids after work to chat about future vacation plans.

he got a chance card and failed. whuh oh.

Trevor then wanted to throw a sports party and why not? So the house and its newly expanded porch fill up quickly. Brandi had to work on her friendship with Cassandra, too, so she was also invited.

NONE of these people are watching the fucking game. come on guys its a sports party. you have to watch. meanwhile Dustin still can't get around to fix that shower because the bathroom is full constantly.

Mercutio walked by and witnessed a werewolf transformation in the distance. Dina greeted him and invited him. The party was a big success.

why are you playing fetch in the fucking HOUSE dustin. you are blocking the only hallway. people are yelling and screaming about how they can't reach the bathroom. he DID manage to finally fix that shower though. maybe now they'll stop crying every time they step into the bathroom.

Malcolm becomes best friends with Malcolm over potty training.

they have so much in common.

They have a butler, but she likes earning skill points and took care of the clog herself.

I decided that Malcolm should have control of the local grocery store since it's apparently a popular place, plus it gives an excuse to have Joseph working an actual job. Look at him running that register like a champ.

joseph still lives alone nothing else is new. his parents' ghosts still roam around. he's gained weight and spends most of his time gaming.

he fell behind on homework but I made him catch back up :)

he's such a fun silly guy.

pinball pov

He brought Tiffani home from school and they had an argument. it was fine though they hung out like usual afterwards. normal teenager activities

Living alone is very boring, but at least Joseph can call his friends and learn how to mix a good drink. By the time he gets to college he'll be a pro.

joseph continues to live alone and play pinball.

he wanted to throw a party and who am i to deny the wishes of a guy with a butterfly face paint

He invited all the teenagers and a few others. It went pretty well.

I forgot that we need to stop inviting Benedick to things. He's been fighting everyone.

it is Joseph's birthday! yippee! He's very playful and excited :)

Naturally Bottom invited everyone. That's how it goes. They all started dancing like usual.

He's old now. And randomized as gay, apparently. Who would have guessed.

Immediately after blowing out the candles Benedick started his shit again. You can see who everyone was rooting for.

Through the power of friendship, Desdemona prevailed. It's on sight for these two now, even though bottom tried to influence them to be nice to each other.

And Ariel decided to make a move on Melody, which only made Benedick's life worse. This guy is never getting a break. Genuinely, I think he's going to start entering a real villain arc eventually. Ariel remains totally mindless to the damaging potential of her actions.

average summerdream household experience Fortunately, the party turned out not bad in the end. Bottom will be free to go to college in a couple rounds and Joseph will rule the house by himself.
