Pleasantview Round 7 - Dreamer - Dirk and Nichole

Woah what a full house, compared to the last couple that I have played!  This will be a challenge for ASimWen!

This is the original Dreamer home, Dirk is now a senior and he married townie Nichole years ago, the teen-aged cashier.  This is the second time I have played her.  The first time was in Prosperity Falls.   Lets get a closer look at the Sims in this house:

Dirk Dreamer

Fortune - Wants to Become a Space Pirate

Dirk is of course already perm plat having became a Hall of Famer long ago.  He has since reached the top of Education, and became The Law.  He worked his way through those careers lickity-split.  His wishes will not be met unless he rolls woohoo or unless ASimWen wants to.  He is only 60 years old.

Nichole Dreamer

Fortune - Become a Mad Scientist

Oohh..think she needs a makeover.  Hm.  Nichole went solid platinum long ago when she became a Criminal Mastermind.  She has since become a Business Tycoon, and is now a Hall of Famer.  Like Dirk, she enjoyed changing careers.  ASimWen has the MOD for both male and female abduction pregnancy.  She is mother to alien Eddie, who dated Emma Copur on the Lothario lot.  Nichole is also 60 years old, sharing her birthday with Dirk.

Frank Dreamer- Dirk and Nichole's first born

Knowledge - Wants to be a Criminal Mastermind

Frank just returned from Uni in Round 6, and went platinum when he reached his LTW of becoming a space pirate, so he hasn't run through the careers like mom and dad.  *yet*.  He is a college grad so he has many more careers to choose from.   His wishes will not be met unless he rolls woohoo, or ASimWen wants to.

Jane (Stacks) Dreamer

Family - Marry off Six

Highly unlikely in this crowded house.  Frank wished for love out of the wishing well in University, and received Jane.  They were married last round.  ASimWen has never played her before.   She was played through to graduation in University, but ended up with only five wish slots instead of six.

Her first wishes:  Have a baby, talk, play with, play computer game, and entertain.

Eddie Dreamer

Pleasure - Become a Game Designer

Eddie will age up to adult at the end of the week if he doesn't keep University wishes.  He is a handy teen to have around to date all the girls in the neighborhood.  He is the result of Nichole's abduction a few rounds ago.

First wishes:  Go to University, Go out with these girls:  (all townies)  Lainey Barthlet, Lackshmi Cameron, and Debbie Olshfski.  He is in love with all of them. (ASimWen doesn't remember how that happened, or playing it at all...haha)

Samuel Dreamer

Grow Up

Sammy was a totally uh-ho RiskyWooHoo kid.  A late in life baby for Nichole and Dirk.  I DO remember when I last played this lot in May of 2014 I kept playing it thinking Sam was Frank and Jane's boy.  He has three days to teen-ager, but will take his early grow up .

His first wishes:  Talk about hobby, And all this for Louis Wolosenko, son of Mitch Wolosenko the grocery guy -  Be friends with, talk to, and play with.

Last round:  Here is what happened.  Jane had a wish to make friends with everyone in the Dreamer household, and she did.  Sammy learned all his toddler skills and aged right on up.  Dirk and Nichole aged to Senior, no party, got away from ASimWen.   The Dreamers won the wishing well by passing Garden Club inspection, Frank was frightened by the ghost of Jessica Ebadi, the thief who had robbed the Dreamers as a child.  She came by as an adult and was eaten by the cowplant, leaving her ghost on the lot.  Frank had held the "see ghost of Jessica Ebadi" since he was a child and ASimWen thought it would be fun to do it.  Took a long time, but it was done!  Eddie dated a variety of girls out of the wishing well, keeping him happy.  The week was topped off with Frank and Jane's wedding.

Upon opening this lot, this message popped:

Of course!  ASim should have said NO....but Yes was clicked. So now there was three cats on this lot, in addition to all the Sims.  That makes nine bodies in this house.

Now then. Upon inspecting the lot and deleting things that no longer needed to be on the lot, it was noticed that the lot was now minus the grave yard.  Darleen Dreamer, Jessica Ebadi, and townie Ti Ning Dalton (who had gotten too close to the cowplant).  ASimWen loves her ghosts, and was sad to see this.  The grave flowers were deleted, and grass planted.

Eddie and Sammy left for school, and Ginger the cat went to work.  Right away, Jane fulfilled a wish to "talk" with Frank, in turn she kept flipping wishes to do things with Frank...and realized fives wishes, bang, bang, BANG. 

Ginger came home with TOC in showbiz.  Go you, Ginger!

Eddie was a little hard to please.  When he came home from school, he still held the same wishes as when the lot opened.  So, he could only go out with one person, and received permission from dad to go out with Debbie Olfshki.  Upon returning home, his wishes shook out to:  Have as sports party, play with, scold Alegra the cat, and go to Uni.  He went to bed.

In the wee hours of Tuesday....Jane shows us this.  WHAAAA????  ASimWen didn't remember this from Round 6 (well that was five years ago).  That will make 10 Sims on this lot, counting the cats.

So a couple of real life days went by, and ASimWen was still feeling sad about the missing cemetery on the Dreamer lot.  Then she remembered a tutorial she had followed years ago when some tombstones went missing in Prosperity Falls.  ASimWen surfed over to -   Tutorial - Restoring Lost Tombstones  for instruction to see if Darleen Dreamer's grave could be conjured up again.  And hopefully the other two as well, Jessica and Ti Ning's.

Managed two of them.  Darleen and Jessica's.  Darleen's was no issue, but Jessica's was tricky, assuming that was because she was an NPC. After going through all the steps on the tutorial, she would not fade away and her tombstone would not reappear.  So, ASimWen had her to milk the Cowplant on the lot and her tombstone immediately appeared.  Ti Ning could not be found anywhere in the pie menu to rejuvenate his tombstone.  So ASimWen did this:

The cowplant was let loose to claim another victim.

In the meanwhile, Sammy worked in a couple of wishes before school talking with Mom about hobbies, and two play interactions.

OOohh the genie lamp.  No doubt Sims in the Dreamer household will start throwing wishes to wish.  heh

Ok..the first person to approach the Cowplant, was a playable.

Albert Goth, Alexander Goth's son, came home on the bus with Eddie.  OH NOES!!!!

Nope. Cowplant just sniffed Albert over and blew a bunch of pollen  on him.  Albert lives another day.

Speaking of Eddie.  His wishes upon returning from school - Ask Sim on Date, buy a bubble blower (NO!) play marco polo, and dance with someone.  Ask Sim on date it is~!

 
Margaret is the daughter of Nina Caliente,  Her father is deceased Mark Lanchild.  Margaret is a Romance Sim like her mother, and wants to woohoo 20 Sims when she grows up.

This date is winning wishes for both Sims.  The date quickly escalated to Dream status working in the five wishes for Eddie he needed.  Now it will be easy to get homework done.

DANG IT!  ASimWen missed it, watching Eddie and Margaret date.  Who was it???

Well it wasn't the gardner Leo Deppiesse who happened to photobomb this pic.  It was the nanny Calista Despret.  Hahaha.  Her grave was moved to the new cemetery and the Cowplant was moved back to the garden.

Sammy was the first one to throw a wish to make a wish.

Well Sim kids can't wish for money.  Didn't want him to have peace of mind since it would be ridiculous for him to be perm plat at such a young age  So he wished for a long life.  *sigh*  His age rolled back to almost the beginning of childhood.  Nope.  ASimWen saved, shut down the game and opened SimPe.  Reset him to 2 days to teen-ager hood.  Also decided to rename a bunch of the stray animals.  Now the hood has dogs cats named Princess Di, Baghera, Skipper, Gilligan, Professor.....hahahaha plus many more.

Wednesday

The day started out with Jane immediately talking about all her hobbies to her mother-in-law Nichole.  Apparently Nichole wanted to talk about that too.

Sammy hit up his older brother Frank for a little morning yak about hobbies.  Combine that with several wishes to command Ginger the cat around, Sammy's wishes were accommodated before the school bus came.

After his brothers left for school, Frank looked on the computer for his dream job.  And there it was!  He was hired on the spot.

That afternoon there was a thunderstorm, and Jessica Ebadi's grave was hit with a thunderbolt.  She came out of her grave to see what was going on. Unfortunately, she did not retain her beautiful green palor of a cowplant death when her gravestone was replaced.  This looks like death by old age.  But at least her tombstone is back.  The nanny will provide the death by cowplant ghost.

After school Eddie held a wish to ask a Sim out on a date.  He hit up the wishing well for romance, and who but Minnie Pleasant should appear.  Remember back on the Lothairo lot there was major drama when Minnie slapped John Goth silly in jealousy...during a date with Emma.  Emma then received a call from her old flame Eddie.  Woo.  Looks like all kinds of teen drama-rama going on in this neighborhood.  Eddie got his five wishes in, easily.

Darleen's ghost appeared that evening. Hers was old age as well, but her death type could be reset to fire.

Thursday

Jane fixed blackened catfish early Thursday morning for who ever was up and wanted any.  Eddie and Sammy were all about it. She realized two wishes...to make the dish, and then to eat it.  Right in the middle of the meal..

Dexter was born, fulfilling a huge wish for Jane.  8,000 aspiration points worth of wish!  Go you, little guy!  The Dreamer name will live on.

Another career down for Frank.  New LTW:  To Become A Game Designer.  Back to hunting for a job for Frank.

Frank headed to the computer and put the finishing touches on the book he had been working on.  He sold it being paid royalties worth $2556 simoleons.  He is halfway to earning the Film and Lit plaque.

This special day was also Sammy's cake up day.

Handsome dude!  What do you aspire to, Sammy?

Fortune - Become A World Class Ballet Dancer

Wishes upon growing up:  Get a cell phone, get cooking 6, get extraterrestrial reparations grant, and go to Uni.  Sammy hit the energizer, then studied cooking. 

Friday

Jane worked all of her wishes in first thing in the morning spending time with Frank.

Eddie threw a wish to ask a Sim out on a date, and it was locked in.

Sammy had the same wishes he spun up when he aged up after getting the cooking skill.  One of those was to get in Private School.  His mom made the call, and the appointment was made. The boys got ready for the visit by getting their homework done.

Saturday / Sunday

However when the headmaster arrived, he could not be interacted with.  It was the same problem on the Pleasant lot a few rounds ago.  Off to look for a solution...and found it here on MOD the Sims.  It was an option in the BatBox.  So the call was made a second time to the Headmaster to come on Saturday.

It worked out, and the boys got in Private School.

In the meantime, Dexter had his birthday.

What a cutie patooty!  ASimWen was so anxious about the Headmaster scenario failing the first time, she failed to get Dexter's grow up wishes.  But no doubt it was to learn skills and things like that.

Learning to Talk

Learned to Walk

Toddlers generally want to talk to mom or dad, play with mom or dad, be snuggled by mom or dad, and be read to by mom or dad.  So we will just assume that is how it went with Dexter.  He did learn all his toddler skills in one Sim day.

After getting into Private School, Sammy's wishes shook out to wanting stuff for Ginger the cat...gets promoted, Ginger learns to shake (needs it for her job) and buy a bar costing $1,000.  Really???  Dude, you are a minor.  NO BAR FOR YOU!

Now having gotten into Private School (but will not be actually attending) Eddie wanted a couple of his wishes fulfilled, so talked hobbies with his mom.   Oh but wait.  He wanted to date.  Ask a Sim.  Why didn't he just make a beeline to the wishing well?  Why spend time getting a small wish fulfilled with his mom?  He needed to be pulled out of green aspiration so he could....

Hit up the wishing well...and who is that???  Sophie Miguel!!!

**KISS KISS**

5 wishes done this day believe this was Sunday.  The last two days were a blur for ASimWen, who was completely worn out playing this house with the high population.  It occured to ASim that this was Eddie's grow up day, and sent him to the computer to see if BY CHANCE his job for the Gaming industry happend to be available.

It was!  He took it and headed out to work almost immedately.  Must have been Sunday...

In the mean while Frank got busy helping Sammy rack up some skill points by skilling out on the punching bag, the lie detector and the execuputter simutanously.

When Eddie returned from work, he was promoted TOC teen level, had his birthday to adult, then was promoted again in the adult levels to Platform Jumper.  Heh. ASimWen has never done this all in one day before.  How funny.  This realized some wish for Eddie, not sure what it was but it gave him 5,000 aspiration points.  Go you, Eddie!

Frank held his LTW to work in the gaming industry so he applied too.  He quit the criminal life and joined Eddie in the gaming industry.

Eddie moved out of the house, taking Alegra the cat with him.  Failed to get his move out wishes.  He will get a bachelor pad in an apartment building.

In the mean while Jane ran a gamut of wish interactions with Dirk.  Hm.  This looks unusual.  Jane got her five wishes in.

Monday morning.  This week with the Dreamers is closed out with Sammy proudly heading off to school in his Private School uniform under that coat.

Ending wishes:
Jane - Dexter grows up well, appreciate and tell a joke to Dirk, command Ginger the cat to come here, and throw a birthday party.  Probably for Dexter.  The last thing that Janie did was influence the two remaining cats, Ginger and Andy, to try for kittens, and was successful.

Sammy - Ginger gets promoted, buy a guitar, buy a makeover sation, and go to University.  The boy kept Go To Uni the whole round in one of the slots, so he will be going.

Dexter - Be talked to by dad, grow up well, be tickled and played with by mom.

As always, thank you for reading!  Next up - the Single mother, Lilith Pleasant lot!
