Veronaville Round 5 - Hal and Kimberly

Hal Capp

Popularity - Have 5 Top Level Businesses

First Wishes: Gain a Customer Satisfaction star, have a party, buy a guitar, be friends with townie Edward Mellon.  Hal is the son of Albany and Goneril Capp.  However he is so exotic looking he could be a Summerdream.  He is one business in to his 5 business wish; it is a home gaming parlor with one poker table and one mahjong table.  He will age up in 18 days.

Kimberly (Monty) Capp

Romance/Knowledge - Become a Celebrity Chef

First wishes:  Get a puppy or kitten, get a puppy, get a kitten, and make out with Hal.  Kimberly is sister to Alon and Spencer Monty, meaning she is the last child Isabella adopted.  She is currently a drive through clerk and will age up in 21 days. 

Gracie Capp

First Wishes:  Be snuggled and tickled, grow up will, and get a charisma skill point.  She will cake up in one day.

Marilyn the Doggo

Marilyn was purchased from Spencer Monty.  She was meant to be a breeder but with all the craziness of the business, this was never started. 

Last round?  Hal and Kimberly were newlyweds and had just moved into the house.  Kimberly had morning sickness straight away showing that she must have gotten pregnant on her wedding night back on the Monty Ranch.  The couple spent almost all their simoleons down to the last couple of simoleons buying bare necessities for home living, and Hal's fledgling home business.   The business worked up to level seven.

Right away Kimberly gets "get a puppy" fulfilled.  Yay!  The puppy's name is Ryan and sadly is related to Marilyn.  Hal will do something about that.

Then later in the evening it was Gracie's cake up day.  OOohh look at her! Aelita Summerdream on the right.  She was there playing cards. Sorry - didn't get grow up wishes.

Now that there is another person in the house the wishes weren't so business oriented.  Hal and Kim were throwing to make friends with people, and Gracie was wishing for good grades and to do things with the dogs.

Speaking of the dogs....

Meet Thor

Hal paid a visit to Planetary Pets and adopted a nice dalmatian who he hoped Marilyn would like to make puppies with.  He had the same exact personality Marilyn had!

Back in the home business poker parlor, Hal accepted the hobby plaque in gaming from the dude.  This will look great on the wall, and let customers know that the place is being run by a real gaming enthusiast.

As far as Kimberly's job was going, she needed creativity to promote up and tried telling jokes to Hal's customers.  Most of them got up and left.  hahaha!  Sure didn't help Hal in gathering more customer satisfaction stars, but he did get to meet someone new!  Kimberly hit the painting easel to get her creativity.  Got the job done!

Gracie loved Thor.  And he enjoyed playing with her!

It is beyond ASimWen's logic why these Sims came out of their house into a huge yard, and walked all the way to the back of the lot and entered the dog pen to play.

Now...I want to note that at this point the user account on my laptop that I play TS2 on became corrupted, and I spent a whole day backing stuff up and setting a new user, then copying files, ect.  I was glad to see that Fraps was still installed.  Very good.  I was playing and clicking away with FRAPS but I neglected to double check the software settings.  The hotkey that takes the screenies had defaulted to F10, but I use something different.  So I have almost NO pictures from about sometime Sim Wednesday on.  But I will put what I snipped, and try to fill in the blanks!

On Friday the home poke venue reached Level 10, so that is one business out of five out of the way for Hal.  I must say, this LTW is not one of my favorites.

Hal closed down the business, and decided what to do next.  Why, he would open an appliance store.

He put it right on the same lot with the house.

Hal could just about run it by himself.  Kimberly helped out with stocking at first because she had skilled up pretty well for her job in culinary.  But eventually he did hire someone.

Gracie spent most of her time playing with the dogs.  Like clockwork she would roll to play with each one, then do homework.  After that she was let to do what ever she liked.  It was usually sitting at the crafting table or dancing.

Thor and Marilyn had four puppies, and they were sent right to the Animal Shelter.  And, Kimberly was able to keep up with skilling.

I am sad this is all I have.  I do admit that the pictures are instrumental to help me come up with text sometimes!  But here are the ending wishes.

Hal:  Hire Yoosung Gaither as an employee (no), get a good review, Yoosung as a BFF, and get level5 in his appliance business.

Kimberly:  Get creativity 9, cleaning 5, make friends with townie Amanda, and get a silver sales badge.

Gracie:  Get A+ report card, grow up well, play with Marilyn and Thor.  Gracie will cake up the first day of next round. 

Next up:  University!!!!

Have fun eveyone, and keep simming!
