Pleasantview Round 8 - Tellerman (Burb) Lucy and Komie

Komie and Lucy along with the baby, Wally Tellerman.  Well the pic sorta shows Lucy as a witch, and sorta not.  This will be explained in a bit.

Lucy (Burb) Tellerman

Fortune/Knowledge - Become a Space Pirate

Currently Unemployed

Lucy is perm plat by virtue of having already fulfilled several LTWs, including Adventure.  If you recall back on the John and Jenifer Burb lot, Lucy was not able to attend Ida and George's wedding because she was borked.  She kept throwing error after error, every few seconds.

When opening this lot, she wasn't throwing errors, but she wasn't right.  Nothing about her was right.  She was standing by the mailbox with the appearence of her elder witchy self, except her age was first day as an adult.  She had just returned from Uni.  She didn't have a job, wasn't a witch, although she was green.  She had a wish to become a witch.  So.  I used the Sim blender to age her up to elder. But that didn't help.  Opened SimPE and she was still and adult, so set her as an elder, and made a wild guess as to how many days she had left as an elder before Grim comes.  Then, used the BatBox to make her a witch again.  The only thing I could not do was make her a Prestdigitator.  Think perhaps she will stay unemployed unless she throws a wish to get a job.

Komie Tellerman

Fortune - Become Hand of Posiedon

  Currently a Space Pirate

Komie is prem plat aleady from completing careers. Go you, Komie! He will age up in one day.

Walter Tellerman

Family - Raise 20 Puppies or Kittens

Wally will age up in three days, or leave for University.

First wishes:  Go to Uni, sneak out with Sammy Lothario, Go out with Annie Jordan and get fit.

So what happened last round?  Well, Lucy aged up to elder. Wally became in item with Don's daughter Gale Lothario who is a three bolt attraction.  She is family as well with the same LTW as Wally.  Arthur Tellerman, Wally's twin, dated Minnie Pleasant, Lilith's daughter.  He in turn left for University.  We will play him later this round.  Komie became a Space Pirate and won a nice bonus of $32,000.  Lucy practiced throwing spells around and became a full fledged green meanie.

As explained on the previous entry, new wishing rules are in effect:

•     If a Sim is showing Platinum mood, NO wishes will be fulfilled.
•     Wishes will only be realized at the rate of 3 a day, or a maximum of 1,500 points a day.  That is, if one wish is fulfilled worth 2,000 points, then it is done for the day.  If three wishes worth 250 points each are fulfilled for a total of 750, then it is done of the day.  This will put an end to tons of aspiration points being given out per the "Ask Sim On Date" wish.
•     Woohoo will still be honored, even if all wishes are in for the day.
•     It is important for checks and balances to fulfill fears as well.  At least one fear per Sim will be attempted, even perm plat Sims.  If more than one can be managed, even better.

So Let's Play!

The first thing the Tellerman/Burbs did was move out of their tiny condo and bought this place:

Does it look familiar???  Yup, the old Pleasant place.  Remodeled the inside a little.  Here is the new floorplan on the first floor:

Whittled down the size of the master bedroom, thus making more room for the living room.  Took the bathrooms out of the middle of the floor plan pushing them to the back of the house, and installed a spiral staircase opening up all kinds of space. 

WooHoo is always honored in ASimWen's Pleasantview, so it was for Lucy.  Twice.  Once in the bed, and again in the closet.  Right in the middle of the woohoo, Lucy inherited money from her mother.  Her dad apparently didn't leave her any money in his will.

Well, the puppy Rupert grew up at 11:00 am.  One toward Wally's LTW.  haha.  And at 6 pm right in the middle of grilling burgers, Komie aged up.  He burned the burgers.

In the middle of dinner, Lucy was invited downtown by this townie. Okie dokie!

Lucy sat there wondering why these three young guys would want to go out with an old green witch.  What a mystery!  It was right then that ASimWen noticed Lucy's perm plat status was taken away when her character file was decimated.  Well.  That would just make her more interesting to play!

Immediately checked her wishes.  She wanted to be cured of witchiness!  Oh-ho!  Okay!

Upon returning home she made one last potion.  Witch-b-gone.

Ewwww...should she hold her nose to drink that....

Ow, ow, OW OW!!!!

Hiya Lucy!  Haven't seen the "real you" in a long time!

It seems that fulfilling "dance" fears are the easiest....

Here Wally realized a dance failure...

And losing the contest.  This put him down into green aspiration!  woo.  He however is an easy kid to keep happy....he also realized wishes back home to make and eat burgers.

The grill in the back yard got plenty of use!  Yum yum gobble gobble!

That night it was Komie's turn to get invited downtown.  It was bowling with the guys.  Ah looky.  He is glowing from being a gaming master. 

Apparently Komie and Lucy learned Ti-Chi when they went on their vacation to the Orient.  The evening ended with Komie showing his friends.

It was tuff on ASimWen to not fulfill wishes to make the outing a success.  haha.  And this goes to show how grand it was:

Komie was given a lamp for his trouble. heh  He put it in the bedroom.

Ah well, it looks like Rupert the dog has a girlfriend.  Her name is Dandylion...and they got a long so well (both of them are doofuses) they got started making puppies just two days after Komie bought her at the pet shop.

Lucy on the other hand since she no longer needed to make regeants or potions, spent her days blogging on the computer and talking about her hobbies.  Locked in for her fears:  Have something stolen.  The burglar alarm has been removed out of the house and everyone goes to sleep at night hoping a burglar will come.

Left to right - Sammy Dreamer, Robert Wolosenko, Wally's twin Arthur Tellerman, Gayle Lothario, and Wally.

That day after school, our good buddy Wally decided to throw a party...a birthday party!  Mom and dad were at work, so he could do pretty much what ever he wanted.

He made a wish...a wish maaayayybbbeeeee to get woohoo on his birthday!  Who knows!

Looky at you Wally!  You thang you!  Hey, you look just like your twin Arthur!  Actually, the only difference between the boys is Wally has thinner eyebrows than Art, otherwise they look alike.

Time for a birthday kiss with Gayle.  Ya see, Wally and Gayle were an item as teens.  It didn't take much for this perfect couple to fall back in love.  Whoops there it is.  Wally threw woohoo.  *Gayle made selectable*

**CHIMES**  *Gayle made unselectable*  A new little Tellerman/Lothario is on the way.  Gayle will be tripping around the neighborhood until the Lothario lot is played again in round 9, where she will immediately move out and in with the Tellermans.

In the meanwhile, the party carried on.  Sammy Dreamer who traveled from the Uni Bin to attend the party  danced while Wally's twin Art watched.  Rupert decided the party need a singer, so provided. 

Mom and dad arrived home from work.  Lucy was glad to see Art, hadn't seen him in a good might while.  He told her all about Ida's wedding to George McCarthy.  Lucy received memories of a family reunion.  Now both of her boys were grown.

Komie:  I want lots of grandchildren.  I still have a long time to live.

Gayle:  Oh I think Wally and I can manage that, Mr. Tellerman!  You don't have a thing to worry about! (Privately thinking she would rather raise 20 puppies or kittens). 

And the party winds down, a roof raiser.  Art in the foreground, Wally in the background.  Carbon copies.  Except for the eyebrow thing. 

By now it is Thursday.  Wally is showing a fear of being rejected for a flirt or a dance. Alrightie!

But first of all, needed to get the wishes out of the way.  Of course Wally called Gayle to come over and slapped some hobby talk on her, and some classic dance.  Gayle brought her friend Willow Curtin.  Komie picked a fight with Willow, there was a lot of hate floating around.  At that point, Wally sent Gayle and Willow packing.  Komie left for work, and Lucy came home.

ASimWen wanted them to go somewhere where Gayle was not likely to be, since Wally was gonna try to get rejected for a flirt.  So they went to Peerless Park....and it was a no go.  Two ladies showed up, and both accepted his flirt.  *sigh*.  Off to downtown to the city park.  Woo who is this?  Contessa Kari Oldie.....  a smartly tossed flirt to her was sweetly rejected.  All fears and wishes in for Wally.

Lucy in the meanwhile got some action on the bubble blower.  Nope, that isn't Wally sitting there.  That is Joseph Burb.  What is it with all these guys wearing green hoodies???  It is a default replacement for something.  hehe

Wally managed to grab a hot dog someone cooked up, and had some good conversation.  While enduring the stinkeye from a couple of PlantSims who generally don't eat people food.

Friday rolled around....

Wally wanted to Ask a Sim on a Date...and naturally called Gayle.  Now that wish is worth 750 points.  ASim had to run this date to not go over 1,500 points.  It was tricky..but on play/tickle...which only fulfilled one wish to "play", both Wally and Gayle spun up get married.  YES!!!  I was wondering how I was going to get them to spin this up without throwing tons of aspiration points at it.  It was quickly locked in for both of them to be fulfilled next round.

A kiss exchanged, resulted in wishes on both sides for woohoo.  So there you go.

In support of a possible future grandchild, Komie grilled hot dogs to feed the mother to be, and then of course Wally was hungry too.  He had full command of the dining table!

Lucy came home from her job as a commercial actress with a cold.  Wally whipped up some grandma's comfort soup, Lucy served it up fulfilling a wish to serve food.  And she ate a serving feeling better!  Later, it was talking about hobbies then doing a little blogging online and her wishes were in for the day, putting her just barely in gold.

Early in the wee hours on Saturday, Wally decided to work on his favorite hobby, fitness.  A couple of hours on the treadmill gained a membership to the gym.  Go you, Wally!  You have more fitness fortitude than ASimWen.  Then it was time to realize some low level wish...talk about hobby with Lucy fulfilling for both of them, and served up a cheese platter, and played guitar.  Time to go try to realize a fear...

Alright...not the best quality picture.  Here is how it went down.  Wally not being a college graduate can only have one item locked at any point in time.  In this case, get married to Gayle.  When he arrived at My Muse to lose the dance contest, that fear spun away, replaced by burn food.  What the.....awww...Wally is a level ten cook.  How to do this???  Burn food on the grill at My Muse.  It took three tries.  Wally is such a superb chef that it took only seconds for him to cook hotdogs.  Hard to get him to walk away in the middle of it so the food would burn.  haha

Are any of the professors Family Sims?  Every time Wally sees this one he wants to talk to her and starts thinking about getting engaged.  No sir.  You and Gayle are betrothed.  Might as well eat a hot dog.

It was right around this time ASimWen decided it would be absurd to wait until next round to marry Wally and Gayle off.  So, Sunday would be their wedding day!  (Was trying to keep the aging in line)

Wally got up Sunday morning and dialed out to invite Gayle and her family over.

Then he popped the question.

Will you marry me Gayle...and become a member of the Tellerman family???

Yes! Yes!  *wink*

Love this picture.  Soooo knowing the Lotharios are well off, how much money did Gayle bring with her?

Can't beat that with a stick!

 Gayle Lothario

Family - Wants to raise 20 puppies or kittens

Her father is Don Lothario, and her mother is townie Ivy Copur.

Various Lotharios and Tellermans flocked to the house to witness the nuptials.

Beautiful wedding in the front yard.

They both realized the "get married" wish, so no more wishes fulfilled for them today, on purpose, anyway.

Left to right:  Thomas Lothario, Lucy, Arthur Tellerman, Ivy (Copur) Lothairo, and Komie.  Gayle's older sister Emma is there too...(Arthur's main squeeze) but didn't get a pic of her.  You can see her over Wally's shoulder in the vows picture...she was the maid of honor.

Yum, yum, yum....Just noticed the cake icing matches the bride's dress and the goom's shirt...

The party carried on....to be a roof raiser.

Gayle laid down to get some rest...and Wally hopped on the computer to do some web surfing about fitness.

Gayle finally drug out of bed, and changed her hair.  She thought this makeover was hilarious...then had the baby trot to the bathroom.  We will see the new little Tellerman next round.

 The visit with the (Burb) Tellermans is finished off with Lucy getting one wish fulfilled early Monday morning for a skill point in Charisma.  Komie helped her out with that, and the newlyweds exchanged info on their hobbies.

Odd Pics Out

 Lucy knows how to teleport, and startled Komie pretty good when she teleported to a spot right in front of him.  Just noticed they have matching PJs.

Gayle decided it was a pretty good idea to make friends with her mother-in-law.

Summary

Well Wally had a a party for every important event in his life.  A birthday party and a wedding party.  He married the love of his life Gayle Lothario.  They are both Family Sims with a wish to raise 20 puppies or kittens.  There was a terrible age snafu with Lucy, and some SimPE work had to be done to bring her back around to as normal as normal could be for her.  The game took away her perm plat status and she is aging at a terrific rate.  She may live through next round, she may not.  Lucy also lost her status as a witch...it was given back to her via the bat box, then she immediately wished to not be a witch any more.  Komie on the other hand looks like he is going to be around forever!  A new wish/fear system was instituted putting limits on the number of aspiration points or wishes that could be purposefully won in a day.  As a result, Wally stayed in green aspiration most of the time, and was green when he aged up.  The ramificaitons of this remains to be seen but my first thoughts are it is definitely going to make me play the game differently.  Did not use the energizer once during this play, was the main thing.  I did keep looking at the wishes to think what to do next in the game, so I was sorta lost for a while.  We will see!  But I do like the thought of not everyone being in platinum, putting more challenge in the game.

Next is the Alexander Goth and Daisy lot!

Remember RL family comes first....but always keep simming!  Remember to spay our neuter your pets!
