Round 8 Pleasantview - Pleasant - Lilith

Great to see Lilith and the kids again.  Last time we visited it was April 14th, just 4 months ago!  ASimWen is doing well plowing through the neighborhood!

Lilith Pleasant

Popularity/Romance - Have 20 Best Pet Friends (not!)

Lilith is always a lot of fun to be around.  With the sort of aspiration she has, there is always lots of drama!  She went perm plat long ago not from reaching her LTW, but from filling up the aspiration meter.  This happens when playing wishes style.  ASimWen has since installed a MOD to stop this.  Lilith is only 61 years young, and has a long way to go before her Grim party.  She is currently a general in the Army.  First Wishes:  Hustle pool, meet someone new, entertain, and play with.

Minnie Pleasant

Pleasure/Knowledge - Become Celebrity Chef

Minnie and Clarence's dad is Neil Leong, whom Lilith hooked up with in Univeristy.  Neil still comes around to visit his kids, and is still very much in love with Lilith.  Minnie will cake up at the end of the round if she doesn't keep the wish to go to University.  Being a secondary Knowledge Sim, she just might go.   First wishes:  Go to University, go out with brothers Fred and Albert Goth, and sneak out with Albert Goth.

Clarence (Clare) Pleasant

Romance/Popularity - Become Hall of Famer

Clare is the youngest.  He is thirteen days away from aging up, but may go to Uni at the end of the round if he keeps the wish.  He looks a lot like his dad.  First Wishes:  Get fit, be friends with Brenda Broke (Beau's wife), go to University, and go out with  townie Marion Menon.

What happened last round?    Well, Neil came around, like, a lot.  He is trying to get in Lilith's good graces as he would like to move in.  The kids are always glad to see their dad and are very close to him.  In fact, it is rumored that there was a hot tub tryst between Lilith and Neil....  Minnie started dating Alexander Goth's son Fred, and then followed that up with a date with Fred's brother Albert.  My oh my.  Minnie earned a membership to Sue's Kitchen, which feeds her LTW to become a celeb chef.  Clare spent most of the week as a little by playing the the pets to get in his aspiration.  Once he aged up he immediately wanted to date, the matchmaker was called and that is how he met townie Marion.  Dirk Dreamer sashayed into the house one day and followed Lilith around like a lost puppy.  She finally had to tell him to go home.  He stayed all dang day.  The visit was capped off with Clare dating Marion, then went home to study logic on the telescope and got abducted.  What fun!  Let's see what the family is up to this time.

Minnie received permission from her mom to go out, after homework was done of course.  Albert Goth picked her up in a stretch limo at 8:00 pm.  Dang.  Didn't know Alexander was doing so well.  She returned at 1 am and went right to bed.  After buying two meaningless items stowed in the backpack, that was it for Minnie on Monday.

Clare decided to go for getting in shape...after all..it would be weird for a teen aged boy to be calling a married woman on the phone to make friends with her..(Brenda Broke).  Lilith was happy to give Clare advice on the obstacle course she earned at her job in the military.

LOOK AT YOU, CLARE!  Oh my....heh  This was the only wish fulfilled for him on Monday.

Tuesday

Oh boy, teens will be teens!  Both Clare and Minnie rolled out of bed wanting to ask a Sim on a date.  It was almost spring, so this was not surprising! Locked in!

But first...had to get some breakfast and spend the day at school.

Lilith:  What...you want to have a girl over later?

Clare:  Well yeah mom...just a friend. And a girl.....friend...

Lilith:  Well, make good decisions, Clare.  You know what I mean.

Minnie:  *mutters* Shut up Clare.  For gosh sakes...

After school.....

Clare:  Hi Marion....I am home now.  Come on over.  Naw, mom isn't home from work yet.

Minnie: *shakes head*
Clare and Minnie enjoyed an afternoon dating...at home.  Marion and Clare are a three bolt attraction, and Minnie decided to call Albert Goth, Alexanders' son.  They have only a one bolt attraction.  Five wishes in for both kids.

Albert Goth

Family - Wants to Become Captain Hero

Lilith arrived home from work and completely forgetting that Clare was having a girl over.  This guy came home from work with her...oohhh LA LA!  Who is this????  Why it is Robert Wolosenko, son of Mitch the Grocery Guy and plantsim Sunflower (Wilkie).  He was last seen getting ready to move out of his mom and dad's house to get his own place as his wish is to Raise 20 Puppies or Kittens.  We will visit him this round!

Wednesday

This day the kids still held social type wishes.  Clare wanted to date once again (locked in) but Minnie's wish was a little different.  She decided to have a sports party (locked in).  Made total sense! 

Lilith decided she needed a new look, needed to get rid of the dark makeup of her youth.  Not bad!

Yes this is Scout the dog.  He was brought into the family as a puppy a few rounds ago, now his time was up.  No one was home....the only witness was Neville the cat.  Even though Neville had challenged Scout only moments before over the food bowl, he was sad to see his friend go.

Minnie invited two people to her party. Albert Goth and her dad, Neal Leong.  Sheldon Mamuyak (on the ballet barre) came over after school. as did Bob Broke.  The party was underway, when Marion arrived for her date with Clare.  What a full house!

Neal was having a drink in the kitchen, totally oblivious to the dead dog on the floor, and Bob staring at him through the kitchen window.

It was then that Clare and Marion had their first kiss.  Awwww......

Parents have a sixth sense about these things...Neal appeared just in time to dampen the teen-age hormones....and the kiss quickly broke up....and Minnie and Albert totally oblivious to everything.

Minnie:  Hi Dad....glad to see you!

Neal:  Nice to see you Minnie.  I have missed you.

Lilith:  What am I, chopped liver!  Neal.  Glad you dropped by.  (to keep an eye on the kids until I got home).

Neal and Lilith wasted no time saying hello.

Minnie:  Ewww....

Clare:  Geeeze, mom!!!!!

The party was a roof raiser, and Minnie the Pleasure Sim went to bed a happy camper, having gotten all wishes in.   Clare flush from a dream date, was in platinum mood, so popped on a thinking cap and went outside to stargaze to build up logic.  Just as the Science Guy wondered into the back yard to award Clare a membership to Aspirational Laboratories.....

Yup.  Clare was abducted....FOR A SECOND TIME.  He was abducted last round as well.  That is one hot 'scope!

He was dumped off in front of the house just thirty minutes before the school bus was due to come.  Only the paperboy witnessed this abduction.  And the cat did. 

Minnie wasted no time after school spreading around Clare's misfortune (adventure??) of being abducted.  In the meanwhile, Bessie Broke (Beau's daughter) stopped by for a visit providing maybe new entry in Clare's little black book.

Cary:  MOooooooOoooM!  There is a new dog in the house......

Neville:  Yeah mom....what are you going to do about it....

Lilith:  *brushing*

New dog?????

The the advent of Scout's exit to the Sim Pet Hereafter, both Clare and Minnie threw "get a puppy" wish...meet Wesley.  What a cutie!  Clare threw and immediate wish to make friends with him.  But Clare couldn't stay awake long enough and went to bed.

Friday

It was now the first day of spring.  Minnie and Clare once again rolled Ask Sim on Date.  Now this would not be such a big deal, except the day before Minnie had rolled "Get Into Private School" and the headmaster was called.  So this means the kids will need to sandwich their dates in between 1 pm and 5 pm...and cook dinner besides. 

Wait, what???  Minnie is minus Albert...and this is.....Fred!  His brother!  Fred came over after school.  Checking their relationships, Minnie and Fred apparently are an item and already in love.  So this made it easy for Minnie to get her 5 wishes in.  Done.  And of course Clare called Marion to come over for a quick date.  5 wishes done, thank  you, now go home.

Minnie yakked up the headmaster and showed him around the house while Clare made blackened catfish.  Then Lilith provided dinner conversation.  In like flynn...it truly was a family effort. 

Even though Minnie wished to get into the Private School, and incidentally was admitted, she will not be able to attend as she decided to leave for University.  Her last weekend home was spent doing a little dating...

And studying couples counseling.   All of which fulfilled nice wishes for her.  She will miss Fred, he and she are a three bolt attraction.  Hmmmm is there a future there???

Minnie made the call and headed out to University.  Lilith waved good-bye.  Buh-bye Minnie, see you later tater.  That left Clare and his mom in the house, along with all the pets for course.

Clare and Marion went to the rec center on a date..where Charles Broke (Brandi's youngest) ogled at the kids kissing.  Voyeurism much there Charles???

Clare spent some time getting the skill point balance up...and was scared pretty good by Scout the dog.  That dog must have a chip on his shoulder....scared Clare four times....this forced Clare to go inside because his needs were getting low!

Clare thought he would work on the Nature hobby plaque....nah....townie Troy Go scared him there.  Troy attempted to eat the cowplant cake last round, and lost.

And what did Lilith get accomplished?  Woo.  The hobby plaque in fitness.  Go you, Lilith!  This is one the house doesn't have.

And that is it for the Pleasants this round!

Summary

So it was all about raging teen-aged hormones this round with mom taking a back seat.  It seemed that Minnie and Albert were going to be a couple but it turns out that Minnie loved Albert's brother Fred better.  Minnie headed out to University on her cake up day, so we will see her again this round.  Good ol' Clare was abducted a second time.  Again don't think I have ever seen that happen naturally.  I had accomplished it using the Aliens perk that Knowledge Sims have.  I will be surprised if Clare doesn't get abducted as an adult and have an alien child.  Lilith finished up working on the Fitness plaque, and will start something new next round.

Ending Wishes:

Lilith:  Buy an exerecise machine, have a party, be BFF with Margaret Caliente, and buy a drum kit.

Clare (Clarence) - Buy a drum kit, get a skill point, go to Univerity, and be BFs with Fred Goth.


ODD PICS OUT

Troy Go showing off his beautiful green palor.

Hi Mary-Sue!  Such a sweet soul.  Never scared anyone.

Scout the dog managed to find time in between all the scaring to clean the bath tub.  This is the same one where he would get his doggie baths.  I had never seen (or noticed) a ghost pet cleaning the tub.

All these pics of ghosts...well where was Daniel?  He did haunt, but I didn't notice until he was just jumping back into his grave. Didn't manage to get his picture.

Next we visit John and Jennifer Burb!  See you there!
