Dina Caliente

Fortune/Popularity - 6 Pets Reach TOC

Perm plat. First Wishes: Get a puppy, get a puppy or kitten, have a party, hustle pool.  76 days old.  After failing to snag Mortimer Goth, Dina chose to stay single, and away from men!  She instead worked her patooty off and helped her family to become well off by working high paying jobs.  Her love was working in the greenhouse growing fresh vegetables for the family.  She passed most of her gardening knowledge to her neice Margaret.

Margaret Caliente

Romance - WooHoo With 20 Different Sims

First wishes:  Go to uni, go out with townies Jess Knight, Greg Trottier, and Connor Dawn.  Grows up in 3 days.  Margaret is her mother's daughter that is for sure!  She certainly takes after Nina.  Maggie's father is townie Mark Landchild whom her mother did not marry until after her birth.  Maggie will either leave for Uni, or grow up this round.

So what happened last round?  Both of the Caleinte cats passed away, and the dog Maxx was brought in.  It was thought that perhaps 6 pet TOC could occur before Dina's Grim party, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen.  Debbie secured a job in business, putting her on the path toward perm plat status.  Maggie constantly wished to date boys, having racked up 4 (that I could find in the blog entry) dates with new boys she didn't know.  She found them by wishing for them out of the well.  There might have been more.  She also gained membership at My Muse and Aspirational Science, and gained a silver badge in gardening.  On Saturday Debbie and George got married and Debbie got pregnant right away.  Funny that she never got pregnant with all the woohoo-ing before she and George married.  A vacation home was purchased which will be visited at a later time.  Russ Bear the burglar paid a visit, but was caught before he could steal anything.

Anyway, lets get on with the visit!



Before George headed off to work, Debbie worked in all 5 of her wishes for the day.  This couple is so lovely, so made for each other.  They are a joy to play.

The sisters picked up the phone and retired from their jobs.  Dina didn't take that well, she wanted to keep working right up until her Grim party.  Come on Dina...you can at least take the afternoon off.

They then spent the day together, talking and laughing.  They had had a good life, hadn't they??  Such memories!

When George returned home from work.....he chided his mother for the toilet overflowing when she used it.  Shame on you George!  But the butler was there to do a quick and handy repair.

6:00 came and went, and Dina was still a solid human....even though her life meter was filled up.  ASimWen thought oh well...so didn't keep her in a good place to get pics.

It happened at 9 pm.....heh  ASimWen scrambled to try to get pictures.  Everything in the house was in the way.

Dina was half Popularity Sim and loved a good party, especially when she was the center of attention.  Buh-bye Dina.  Enjoy the Sim afterlife...and you will finally be with your husband Michael Bachelor once again.  Hey you might see Morty too.

She didn't spread many simoleons around, but that is fine.  Nobody needs the money anyway.

So what was Margaret up to?  Well, none of her wishes got fulfilled the first day.  She tried to "go out" with the townies on her wish list.  She got permission from her mom Nina, but when she went to the telephone to call one of the boys, "go out" was not an option.  So decided to wait to see what the next day would bring.  Well, smustling.

Talking on the phone...and such things as talk about hobby, ect.  It was now spring, and she rolled "ask sim on date" so it was locked in to use later.

Debbie adopted a dog named Anne.  She was just put in the adoption pool back on the Lothario lot.  Her parents are Barbie and Bonzo.  She is beautiful.

Maxx is not sure what to think about her.  The are both good looking dogs and will make pretty puppies.

Early Wednesday morning baby Caliente made her appearance.

Debbie:  Ow ow ow!!!!

Olivia Caliente

Of course it would be a girl born in the Caliente house.  What a cutie patooty you are Olivia!  You have your mama's brown eyes and brown hair.

Nina was estatic with the birth of her first granddaughter.  George of course was beside himself since his first child had come into the world.

Later that day, Margaret hit up the wishing well looking for love.  The "Ask Sim On Date" was getting cashed in.  Oliver Pedersen popped out of there.  Of course it was love at first sight, a two bolt attraction.  Five wishes in, easily.

Shortly after Margaret sent Oliver home, her birthday message popped.  She was going to age up in one day!  Well since she did not keep the University wish, she was not going to be traveling off to school.  Grow up it is!

Three of the townie boys she had dated grew up with her, but they were not there.  One of them was Oliver Pedersen.

Unfortunately, ASimWen was so caught up in play, failed to get Margaret's grow up wishes.

One thing she did do was hit the energizer, and get some gardening done, after her roof raising party.

MARGARET'S FIRST DAY AS AN ADULT

Now then...Margaret wasted no time doing grown up stuff, as her wish was to woohoo 20.

Margaret drove over to Bluewater to Amelia's Closet and bought some new clothes, played some darts and cooked some burgers.  And scoped out some men she did not know.

She met up with Marylena Hamilton who professed she knew Mortimer Goth and would Margaret like to get together with him?  Suuuuuure!  Said Margaret.  haha

Then she wanted to ask a Sim out on a Date.  She headed over to Hunter's Park and called Arthur Tellerman, one of her loves back when she was a teen.  The last time we saw Art was in University, where he is a Junior. He was Emma Copur's main squeeze to assist her in getting 50 Dream Dates.  They are a three bolt attraction.

Well, 'ol Maggie and Art are a three bolt attraction too.  However.....Maggie isn't looking to settle down.  Like Emma eventually will.  Probably.

During the date, Maggie decided she wanted to love all these men and not marry a nary one!  Robert Wolosenko (who we will see in his own home later this round), Art Tellerman, Oliver Pederson, and Amar Walter.  After a while it was time to take the date home.  Maggie invited Art over to her place and he accepted.

 One woohoo down.  Nineteen to go.

Yes you are seeing this right.  Maggie's mother caught the loving couple just as their date was winding down.  And yes it is snowing, even though it was spring.  Nina did not disapprove.  Her daughter was taking after her!

Who is this peculiar fellow?  He was waiting in the living room as Art was seeing himself out.  This is none other than Eddie Dreamer, son of Nichole Dreamer, step son of Dirk Dreamer.  Another one of Maggie's teen loves, now grown up just like her.  Even though Maggie is hanging on to thoughts about Art, she was glad to see Eddie.

She didn't even have to ask him out on a date.  In no time at all these two were all caught up on "old times"  haha
Two woohoos down, and eighteen to go!

Right around that time, Debbie came home from work announcing that it was Olivia's birthday, and there was going to be a party.  Maggie decided it was time to slow down a little and said goodbye to Eddie.

Left to right - Mary (Pleasant) Caliente (George's half sister and also his sister in law) George and Olivia, John Caliente (Mary's Husband and George's brother by a different daddy), then Debbie. 

Whew. What a family tree.....Did not realize how screwed up that was until I typed it out.   See below.

After I wrote it down like this, I could clearly see how George's sister was also his sister in law.  Took me an hour to work it out.  Only in the Sims...well...not really.  When it happens in RL we don't talk about it........  if we do it is hush hush behind locked doors.....  family reunions are nightmares..... nobody knows how to properly address anyone.... *ahem*

Anyway, back to the party.....

Happy Birthday, Olivia!

First wishes:  Get a toy, be played with by both mom and dad, learn to potty.

Granny Nina stepped in and trained up Olivia in how to potty.  After all, Nina doesn't have that much time left, and wanted to spend as much time as possible with her only granddaughter.  She has a grandson from John and Mary...his name is David.  Nina did attend his birthday party.  By this time Olivia was exhausted, and was put to bed.

The party commenced and was a roof raiser.  Apparently Maggie was too tired to smustle.  We all know why! *wink wink*

Olivia's training the next day....Dad taught her how to talk, and Auntie Maggie taught her how to walk.  All fulfilling wishes.

Maggie threw "Ask Sim on Date" later in the day, and invited Oliver Pedersen over.  They fell in love all over again.  Three down, seventeen to go! (Who wears a wetsuit in the hot tub....to woohoo no less???)


Saturday Morning

Who's da daddy???  Thank you Silent Risky!  This will not put a damper on Maggie's woohoo mission!

Life went on as usual for Maggie even though she had a little one on the way.  She did her morning gardening, then continued dating.  Today it was Amar Walter. Four down, sixteen to go!

6 PM rolled around, and Nina did not get a three hour reprieve like her sister Dina. Bye-bye Nina. You were a lot of fun to play, but you have left Maggie in Pleasantview who is a carbon copy of you! Thank you!

Well she wasn't as stingy with the inheritance purse strings as Dina was.  She left money to 26 people...mainly because a while ago she had a wish to have 20 simultaneous loves.  The wishing well that Dina won from the Garden Club came in handy!

That evening Maggie was called out on a date with Oliver Pedersen.  Of course she went, but had to hurry home because she was tired.  As soon as she got out of the taxi...yup....new baby Caliente was on the way.
 

In the meanwhile George was having a difficult time dealing with his mom's passing.  Debbie:  "Oh George don't forget hun...we will see her ghost.  She will look the same....almost......"

Debbie was in need of logic points for her job.  A little peeking through the telescope was just the ticket.  She was in like flynn to Aspritational Labratories.  She fulfilled wishes to get logic points.  Debbie filled her wishes most days by interacting with George.  She is very easy.

Thank you Oliver!!!!  This went right into Maggie's backpack.

Sunday

It is the last full day for this visit.  hmmm...

It was Olivia's birthday.  Go you girl!  Growing up fast!

She looks like her mamma.  First Wishes:  Get a kitten or puppy, get a kitten, get a puppy, and be BFF with mom.  There would soon be puppies, as Maxx and Anne finally liked eash other well enough to try for puppies, and were successful.

Maggie worked another woohoo in...this is Robert Wolosenko, another teen love.

It was thunderstorming so woohoo in the hot tub was not chanced.  Five down, fifteen to go!  Now something interesting happned here.

Maggie threw a wish to get engaged to Robert, and Robert being the honorable Family Sim threw wishes to both get engaged and to marry Maggie.  According to ASimWen's wishes style of play if a Sim throws get engaged or get married, it must happen.  However, in this case....no.  It was spring time, and these two have zero attraction.  It was based on 'heat of the moment' feelings.  So this did not happen.  It rolled away for Maggie after the date was over, never to be seen again.  It looks like Robert had a wish to fall in love with someone else.  Probably his true love!

Monday Morning

And we end this visit with the Calientes as Margaret exercises her golden green thumb and works in the greenhouse started long ago by her aunt Dina.  Her baby will be born next round in the afternoon.

Summary

This was a fun and exciting play.  Always glad to see an old generation go out, and a new one come in.  Both Nina and Dina passed to the great Sim Beyond after lliving fully platinum lives.    Maggie grew up and satisfied 5 of the 20 woohoos she needed to go perm plat, and got pregnant to boot.  She also earned the gold badge in gardening.  Her wishes were very easy to fulfill every day.  Debbie gave birth to George's daughter Olivia, and made it all the way to CEO in the business career.  Her wishes centered around doing things with George, and to occasionally buy something.  She received a membership card to Aspirational labratories.  Olivia's wishes were centered around what toddlers like.  At first it was to win all toddler wishes, and doing things with mom and dad.  A new dog was brought in to mate with Maxx, her name is Anne.  Puppies are expected next round.

Ending wishes:

George: Olivia gets into Private School, smustle, dance with someone, talk about hobbies, have a good reputation, and give love to Anne.

Debbie:  Reach TOC, Olivia gets into Private School, talk about hobbies, and go stargazing.

Maggie:  Public woohoo, woohoo 10, make out with 10, and smustle.

Olivia:  Get a kitten or puppy (locked in) go fishing, get A+ report card, and command Maxx to roll over.

Odd Pics Out

Dina haunted the night of Olivia's birthday to toddler...and Minnie the cat was merciless with scaring.  That cat haunted 3 times.

Anne loved looking at herself in the mirror.  :)  This warmed my heart.  I found her doing this three times.

Last but not least: Nina with her children.  Love this picture.

Left to right:  John son of Don Lothario, Nina, George son of Daniel Pleasant, then Maggie daughter of townie Mark Landchild.

Thanks for reading everyone!  Next - Dirk and Nichole Dreamer!

Sim On!
