Round 8 - Pleasantview - Lothario


Don married townie Ivy Copur "way back when".  Don threw "get engaged" while on a date with Ivy, having just come off getting  major rejection from Dina and Nina. Was he on the rebound?  No matter, he has been very happy with Ivy.  They had three children.  Emma, Thomas and Gayle.  Emma moved out last round and got her own place.  We will see her this round.

Don Lothario


Romance/Fortune - Criminal Mastermind
(but wants to WooHoo 20 different  Sims)

First wishes:  Ask Sim on Date, write a book, talk about hobbies, and Blog about film and literature. Don will not live to see any of these children marry. He will see Grim here in a day or two. He turned perm plat a long time ago. Since settling down with Ivy, he has lead a quiet life writing books, playing in the dance-o-sphere, and oh yes, making the town fathers quake in their shoes on a nightly basis when he was on the prowl as a Criminal Mastermind.  Good times.

Ivy (Copur) Lothario

Knowledge/Romance Criminal Mastermind (but wants to be a World Class Ballet Dancer)

First Wishes:  Talk, woohoo in bed, invite someone over and create a zombie.  Ivy got a makeover right away.  Softened up her looks with hair that was more befitting and fine older lady such as herself.  Better makeup to take away the hard angles of her face. At a spritely 58 years young Ivy will live a good couple more rounds, so she will see her children marry.  If they decide to.  Have loved playing her.  Perm plat.

Thomas Lothario

Popularity - Wants to be Captain Hero
First wishes:  Get hobby plaque in Culinary, grow up well, defeat the Grim Reaper, and sneak out with townie Dickson Fleig.  Don's only son with his wife.  Don does have a son named John with Nina Caliente, who has a son named David, so yes Don is a grandpa.  Tom will cake up in one day, will not go to Uni as he did not keep the wish.

Gayle Lothario

Family - Wants to raise 20 Puppies or Kittens
First wishes:  Serve food, talk about hobbies, plant a seed, and play darts  Gayle will cake up at the end of the round if she doesn't wish for Uni.  The Lotharios have kept pet production on the lot to feed Gayle's LTW.  She looks like her mother.

Breeding Pair



Barbie and Bonzo.  :)

So what happened last round? All the children threw wish after wish to skill!  Emma worked on dating, to feed her LTW of 50 dream dates. By her age up day, she had 10 done.  There was the usual teen drama of visiting and break ups, to numerous to mention.  Tom snuck out and didn't caught, then turned right around and won a cooking contest, as did Gayle.  The round ended with Emma's birthday, a lil' birthday woohoo with a grown up Ricky Cormier, and Don taking what would probably be his final spin in the Dance-O- Sphere.

Alrightie!  Let's see what's happenin' with the Lotharios!  The kids rushed right off to school.  It was Tom's last day as a teen-ager.


Ol' Don... (don't know why I call him Ol' Don) took one look at his beautiful wife with her makeover and smiled.  He likes.


So much so that he indulged her wish for a woohoo.  Go you, Don and Ivy!


That evening, Tom called a couple of friends over for his birthday party, along with his sister Emma.  Note the two townies...Chris Lew and Dickson Fleig.  Tom and Dickson were continually sneaking out, were good buddies.  It was Tom's day off from his job as a Security Guard, he had reached teen TOC.

Thomas Lothario future Captain Hero
Wishes upon growing up: Get hobby plaque in Culinary, have a great party, pull a prank, and have a pillow fight.


Tom was immediately promoted up to level six of the Law Enforcement career.  Go you, Tom!


His friends Chris Lew and Dickson Fleig grew up too.  (Note Don in the background giving a thumbs up to Ivy for her beauty).


In the meanwhile, Tom's sisters Emma and Gayle had their own thang going.  Emma no longer lived at home, but men still called for her there.  (Yes she was made "selectable" to answer the phone).   Gayle realized her wish to serve food by quickly whipping up some cheesecake for everyone.  She further had two more wishes fulfilled when a drum set and a guitar magically appeared in her backpack.


Pulling a prank on poor Dickson....


After a failed attempt to hop in the hottub with Chris, Tom decided to get the pillow fight out of the way...


And the party was a roof raiser, fulfilling another wish for Tom.  It was a good day for him.

Tuesday morning Gayle headed off to school wishing to make friends with several Sims:  Rose Mamuyak, Anna (Broke) Burb, then Townie Calvin Trottier.  Family Sims often want to have lots of friends, maybe they are Pop Sims in disguise?  Then she also started to consider Univeristy.

His first full day as an adult, Tom was wanting to play Marco Polo, darts, a console game, and talk about his hobbies.  Yesterday he was wanting to get a hobby plaque in Culinary.   So what is going on???


Tom decided to serve up some breakfast then Ivy discussed Culinary hobby with her son.  She was relieved that Thomas no longer wanted to play a bunch of video games.  He has too much  going for him in his life with his law enforcement career and his cooking abilities to play games.  (too much). 


He decided it was probably better for his career to make friends.  Joe Carr came over to help him with that, and brought Allyn Thompson with him.  Thomas made two new friends the same day, fulfilling wishes. Then he flipped up skill skill.  He maxed out cleaning.  Go you, Tom!


Gayle was struggling a little bit in the wishes arena.  She too wanted to make friends so she invited Rose Mamuyac over.  (lost her plantsim hair, looks like.  Will have to fix that) and made one friend.  She also served up dinner for everyone fulfilling wishes.  She was still wishing to go to Univeristy.  Don's backpack was emptied and everything given to Gayle.  She got his cell phone, some dinner coupons, and a sentry bot.

Don and Ivy returned from work that night at 11:00, and Don had his Grim party.


Don doesn't seem surprised.  Calmly waiting.


 Buh-Bye Don.  Ivy was beside herself.  Wonder how many days she will mourn.

Wednesday both Gayle and Tom wanted to resurrect their dad.  I don't think so. Tom headed off to work having not fulfilled any wishes early on in the day.


Gayle talked about hobbies with Ivy before heading out to school.


Sandy Butler showed up to teach Barbie to play dead as Gayle had a wish that Barbie would learn a command.  Alrightie then!  In no time Barbie was playing dead all over the place.


Thomas came home from work with a promotion to Lieutenant and a wish to have a party.  Gayle fulfilled a wish by serving up food, and incidentally lost "enemy" status with Eddie Dreamer, Nichole and Dirk's son.  ASimWen doesn't even remember what happened to make them enemies.

At any rate, Tom had a great time with his party, pranking and influencing folks.  He fulfilled a final wish by having a roof raiser.  It was a good day for both of them.


Thursday morning Gayle had her hobby discussion with Tom before he headed off to work, which really was beneficial to both of them.


Tom left for work, and Gayle threw "give love to Barbie".  Even though Barbie now knew how to play dead, Gayle hasn't wished to command her to do it.  *shakes head*


After school it was all about Walter Tellerman, the boy who last round she dated so much.  His parents are Komie and Lucy (Burb) Tellerman.  All wishes in!


After work wit was the usual for Tom....party party party.  He invited his friend Chris Lew over and in no time, five wishes were in.  Very good.


Earlier in the week pups were born...Alpin and Anne.  On Friday they grew up.

Alpin on the left, and Anne on the right.  Very pretty dogs.  Gayle immediately called Animal Control to come and get them.  Strangely she didn't shed tears, but Ivy took it hard.  More pups were tried for, we will see them next round.

New LTW - Become General
Tom felt like he didn't want to be a Captain Hero anymore...something more realistic was his thing.  He wanted to join the Army.

Poor Gayle had nothing put pet wishes.  Get a puppy.  Get a kitten.  Get a puppy or kitten.  Well Gayle girl, Barbie and Bonzo will take care of that.  Why don't you go downtown with Walter...shake up your wishes a little.  Walter called her and she agreed to go out.


They went to Maple Springs Pool and Spa....five wishes done.  Easily.  Both of these kids are Family Sims with a wish to raise 20.  Two bolt attraction.  That is enough for ASimWen!


Gayle found her dad haunting when she returned from her date with Walter.  Of course the first thing Don did was check out his bed.  haha  He is haunting in his work clothes.

Saturday Gayle wanted to see Walter again.  She desired to go steady.


A little joking around, then she popped the question.  He said yes..pouring in massive aspiration points for Gayle.


And that was it so early in the day...five wishes in.  Tom left for his first day in the army very early, so that left Gayle to her own devices.

What was Ivy doing during all this time???


She could often be found cheering on her favorite team in front of the television, or in the dog pen spending time with Bonzo and Barbie, or on the computer blogging or playing games.

Sunday was another date day for Gayle and Wally.


They headed out to the rec center and played pool with Christy Stratton and Tony Bruenig;


They went to the park in Bluewater and hung out dancing and eating cook out food


Then that night it was time for Gayle to have her birthday.

Family - Raise 20 Kittens or Puppies
Wishes upon growing up:  Flirt, praise Barbie, influence someone to play with and appreciate another Sim.  Luckily, she already had her five wishes in for the day.


Shortly after Gayle blew out the candles, two puppies were born, Ross and Demelza.  Short doggo pregnancy!  I like these kind of glitches.


And we end this visit on the Lothario lot with Ol' Don attending Gayle's party.  Ivy looks spooked..do you think she senses Don near by?

Summary

It was a fun and relaxing play. The remaining teens in the home aged up to adult, neither one of them wanting to go to University.  Tom promoted up to the 6th level in the Law Enforcement career and as a result was able to TOC, turning perm plat.  Gayle was then the center of attention ensuring her wishes were fulfilled every day, mainly through dating Walter Tellerman.  The two share the same aspiration and LTW, and are a two bolt attraction.  Two litters of puppies were born to Bonzo and Barbie, feeding Gayle's LTW.  And then Ol' Don passed away, but made himself known around the house during Gayle's birthday party.  Go you, Don!


Tom finished out the week as a Junior Officer in the Army.

ODD PICS OUT:


Orlando Bertino was the growup from Gayle's friend list.  She really didn't like him very much but he was at the party.


And here is a random cat named Brainy.  ASimWen renamed a bunch of the stray pets in the neighborhood through SimPE.  haha

And that is it!  Next up is the Goth Mansion.

Have fun everyone, thanks for stopping by!

  2. Ah, good old Don!
    What I enjoyed most about this post was seeing familiar townies (such as Ivy Copur) and what can become of them when we make them playable.
