Here we are back in the hood! Last lot in Round 5. We have twins Aubrey and Avalon Capp here, and Aubrey's fiancee, Paris Monty.
Aubrey Capp
Fortune - Earn 100 Thousand Simoleons
Aubrey is the son of Regan and Cornwall Capp. That is YA Aubrey up there having graduated from University in round 4, then his adult self. ASimWen thinks he looks sorta like the old time movie star Gregory Peck. (To Kill a Mockingbird, Roman Holiday). His wishes upon moving into his apartment: Well, didn't get them. This play was fragmented at the beginning.
Paris (Monty) Capp
Family - Graduate 3 From College
Paris just graduated from University. Her parents are Mercutio and Miranda (Capp) Monty. Again, did not get her beginning wishes, it was very hectic setting her and Aubrey up on this lot. ASim hasn't played apartments much so this will be fun.
Avalon Capp
Popularity - Become the Law
Avalon is Aubrey's twin. He did not attend University, just moved out of his parent's house and in with his brother and his new wife. Again, no move in wishes.
This is a brand new lot, and ASim messed things up from the git go, and didn't realize it until the first day was entirely over. It had to do with the love interests of all these Sims. Phew. But it will work out! Hopefully!
Aubrey was last seen graduating from University, then visited home a few times during the Cornwall and Regan play, and constantly came to see Paris while she still lived at home, and while she was in University. Paris constatnly wished to see him and talk to him. Somehow ASimWen got it in her head that Aubrey and Paris were supposed to be a couple. You will see why they shouldn't have been, later.
At any rate Aubrey rents an extremely expensive apartment, something like $2,400 a week. Wow. Looks to be a three bedroom, as he knows his brother is going to be moving with him, and knows that Paris wants to graduate 3 from college once they are married.
And yes, you will just have to take ASimWen's word that there was a wedding. Here are Paris's memories to confirm. Oh my. Yes, FRAPS was running to get the pictures, YES ASimWen was pressing the right button to get pictures. But....I was messing around with getting screen captures right before the wedding by pressing CTRL+PrtScr to see how it worked. Apparently doing that disabled FRAPS. I have
zero pictures of the great wedding between Aubrey and Paris, and all the hilarious smustle pictures. It was nice. Believe me. Just imagine it in your head. :)
Now then, you will notice in the memories up there, right after the wedding this is a CHEAT memory, and a loss of a best friend. The wedding went off without hitch, then after all the guests left Aubrey and Paris retired to the bedroom to work on her LTW of three children. Avalon barged in on the private moment and accused Paris of cheating on him. ???? ASimWen was surprised. So back to Aubrey's time in University I went...and oh my. He had gotten himself engaged to a dormie. Two bolt attraction. Then, Paris and Avalon were an "item" back on the Cornwall and Regan play. Another two bolt attraction. Paris and Aubrey only have one bolt attraction. ASimWen got her "A" names mixed up! Oh no...no... no....
Well it will make for fine drama in this household. Paris became pregnant right away with Aubrey's baby.
On with the story!
The wedding was over, and the woohoo faux pax had happened in the bedroom with Avalon's crazy jealousy. Paris's wishes/fears: (As shown while having an impromptu dance with her brother in law Avalon) Have a baby, go on vacation, get a cat or a dog, flirt with Avalon, get a puppy, get a kitten...then fear of breaking up with her husband Aubrey, Aubrey dies, and getting rejected for flirt with Aubrey. She is a conflicted woman! She got herself a makeover having gotten rid of her youthful ponytail, and put on one of the new outfits she sewed while in University.

The first meal in the new apartment, spaghetti prepared by Paris. There seemed to be uneasy conversation all around, everyone knowing what just happened moments earlier. Avalon seemed to be okay with Paris marrying his brother, but reality didn't set in until the marriage was commsumated.
Tuesday Morning
First Wishes:
Aubrey: Play Marco Polo, talk about hobbies, play chess, play a PC game, smustle dance, and take a snapshot.
Avalon: Play Marco Polo, get a skill point, meet someone new, and be friends with Trista Shaw.
Paris: Have a baby (locked in) blog about arts and crafts and games, talk about hobbies, play chess and play a PC Game
Nothing like talking about hobbies.....this is a rerun of University wishes....
Everyone then set off to Maple Springs Pool and Spa so the boys could play Marco Polo. I mean, given what just happened on Aubrey and Paris's honeymoon night it is a wonder these guys aren't mad at each other....
Back home, Avery indulged in a little smustling....then the boys went right back out to buy some clothes.
They went to H&M Veronaville and bought a couple sets each. Avery then wanted to make friends with Trista Shaw....and started yakking her up on the phone Aubrey wanted to tell jokes on a mic that was there....fulfilling a wish. Dang. Avery needs to go bathe...back home then.
Paris suspected she was pregnant, didn't feel like going out, but she did feel like spending fun time with her husband, Aubrey. All wishes were met this day.
Right around 9:30 pm, Paris realized she was indeed pregnant.
Paris called Erlina Capp to come over to tell her the news. Erlina and her brother Avery had moved into an apartment right across the street from Paris and Aubrey. The girls became good friends in University.
It wasn't long before the girls started gossiping about Avery. There was hear tell that Mona Fairchild who had caused a lot of trouble for Avery in college had moved to Veronaville. Ohhhhh my. Stalker, much???
Blog about hobbies...play PC game.....
Getting promoted....Aubrey would flip a hidden wish for promotion everytime it happened. Being a fortune Sim, Aubrey LOVED making money....The career reward of the golden pen (or what ever it is called) was great in helping Paris's needs up.
Playing chess. And there is Cousin Avery thinking about sitting to play with him.
But what about Avalon? What did he do to keep himself busy?
Well he went to work every day, called up people on the phone who he was wishing to make friends with. This one gave him a great big wall mounted flat screen TV just for calling him.
 |
| On foot???? |
He made bad decisions at work.....
And he had a party on Thursday netting him many wishes. This girl Trista Shaw is the only person he invited, as he had been calling her and calling her wanting to make friends with her but she was always "busy".
But he invited her over to sit in the hot tub, and she was all about it. But she chided him for splashing water at her.
tsk tsk.
Thursday was a big day for the household.
Placing themselves in the nursery at the appointed time, Aubrey and Paris had a mini date, and got all her wishes in for the day. Then she went into labor...of course.
Natural twins, a boy and a girl, named Basil and Bryn. ASimWen thought maybe there would be twins, as their dad comes from a family with a double set of twins.
Cutie patooty...don't know which one this is.
And....Avalon's party was a roof raiser, and Trista went home.
Erlina came rushing over from across the street to see the babies. She was very happy for Aubrey and Paris! Evan Avalon didn't have any attitude about his new neice and nephew.
RANDOM Wishes fulfilled:
 |
| Makin' a Wish |
 |
| Wished for uhhh....?? Not beauty, the one that cures diseases... but there was no diseases on the lot. |
 |
| Tickling the husband |
 |
| Alon Monty |
Alon came home with Avalon after work. He realized some kinds of wish whilst talking to Avalon.
 |
| **CHIMES** |
Yup at some point Paris ran a gamut of wishes to do things with Aubrey. It ended in woohoo..this is a Risky Woohoo, unlike the the woohoo that resulted in the conception of the twins. What do you think? Will it be one baby or two....
Fresh after getting pregnant by her husband *again*, Paris ran a streak of wishes for her brother in law, Avalon. Flirt with Avalon, play with Avalon, and talk to Avalon. No PARIS! NOOOO! haha
Not sure what wish Avalon won here....but Alon is really into it, won another mysterious wish. Despite the fact he had to leave the hot tub to play chess.
Another wish? Well who knows. It was a good Avalon day.
Alright so this picture is meaningful. Avalon (in the gray trench coat) invited the "now not busy" Trista Shaw over, and she brought along her friend Mercutio Monty, Paris's dad. Paris immediately began telling her dad about the twins. Mercutio wasn't quite interested in the fact he was now a grandpa. At all.
Well Avery and his sister Erlina who live in the apartment across the way keep the chess board monopolized. Avery now has his hobby plaque in Gaming which apparently he had a wish to get. Too bad that lot won't be visited until next round.
So Trista let Avalon know how she felt about him by setting him up with her friend Pamela Landry. Avalon has a two bolt attraction to her..hmmm...but as soon as the date hit 'dream' it was quickly shut down. Interestingly, when Trista went home, she went home to one of the empty apartments in the same complex. She was Avalon's neighbor!
In no time it was cake up day for the twins. Paris called out for a par-ty and everyone came, plus a couple more that were summoned in.
Hello Basil! Boy you are a cutie pie!
A nice hug between son and father. Basil has the darker skintons from the Montys. I am thinking Avalon is lookin a little jealous...
And here is Bryn. She looks just like her mom Paris as a youngun.
Except for that flat nose. Paris you and Aubrey need to take her for surgery...can she breathe????
General birthday party picture since the wedding pics didn't make it to the blog. Left to right...Mercutio Monty, Cornwall Capp, Avalon, Miranda Monty, and Avalon and Aubrey's mom, Regan.
Buh-Bye everybody. Thanks for coming to the party for the kids.
The children caked up during the last few hours of autumn, so the training was really crammed in. Aubrey and Paris spent the whole party training up the kids.
Meanwhile, Avalon digilently checked for his desired job every day on the computer. Lo and behold it came up during the party. He took it, despite the fact that Pamela had promised him higher wages in the military job. Avalon had to face it, he wasn't the physical type and needed a desk job.
Two cute toddler pics. As soon as the kids were put in the bedroom they hugged...and during walking training Bryn played in the leaves. That one was new to me!
One of many toddler wishes done. Yay.
So it was on Sunday morning when ASimWen realized that no one in the house had their aspiration points distributed to earn the Lifetime Aspirational Benefits. All are filled in, then lastly the second aspiration is chosen. Paris is a Pleasure Sim under the hood. Very good..... She is the only one who had enough points to get the second aspiration.
A tickle or two, a chatter or two, and the twins were put in bed just in time for....
Uncla Avalon is having a house party. Hmmmm...who isn't showing up???
He invited three ladies, but only this one came..Pamela Landry. OOohhh..they are a three bolt attraction now! Well, no need for descretion!
One sure fire way to have a successful party was move it to the hot tub!
Of coure...a single young man, plus an attractive young lady..uh-huh. Didn't take long for these two to realize they were meant for each other. Trista who? Paris who?
The party was a roof raiser for Avalon, fulfilling a nice wish for him. Go you, Avalon!
And the visit with this branch of the Capps is wrapped up with everyone rolling out of bed on Monday morning. The carpool will be by in an hour to pick up the twins Avalon and Aubrey. The new baby (or babies!) will be born next round.
Summary:
The lot opened with an unseen wedding for Paris and Aubrey, with Paris getting pregnant right way on the honeymoon night. There was terrible jealousy between brothers Aubrey and Avalon as Avalon and Paris were an item when they were kids. It apparently carried over into adulthood. (If you will recall the
game glitched on the Capp lot when Paris was a teen, Avalon would visit her himself being an adult and the game thought he was still a teen, carrying the love interest through. I think that is why Avalon developed jealousy on this lot). However in the end Paris did choose Aubrey, but still had lingering thoughts about Avalon which she has not acted upon...yet. Will she ever? Twins Bryn and Basil were born with much fanfare during a house party thrown by Avalon and recieved all their toddler training in one day as it was autumn, netting them many wishes fulfilled. Avalon met a new three bolt love Pamela Landry, it remains to be seen if that will develop. Avalon started out with a job in the Military but eventually landed a job in his chosen field of law, ending the round as a Legal Secretary. Aubrey worked all the way up to Magazine Editor in Journalism and now holds a wish to reach TOC. Toward the end of the round Aubrey was throwing "buy me buy me" wishes which were indulged, but everything sold back the next day. Paris's wishes revolved around Aubrey mostly and began throwing wishes to do things with the kids toward the end of the round. Ending wishes:
Aubrey: Reach TOC, play marco polo, talk about hobbies, play chess, sew a project (???) and dance smustle.
Avalon: Play marco polo, play chess, go visit Trista Shaw, and play a PC game
Paris: Have a baby (locked in) sew a project, talk about hobbies, play marco polo, chess and a PC game
Basil: Talk to mom and dad, be played wtih by mom, and get creativity 5
Bryn: Be talked to and read to by mom, get charisma 4, and be talked to by dad.
This is the last lot in Veronaville for this round...next is a new feature! The Retirement Home!
Have fun everyone and keep on Simming! Thanks for stopping by!
