Pleasantview Round 8 - Wilkie - Silver Maple and Brittany (Upsnot)

Hiya Wilkies!  Lasts time we visited these guys was in May.  Now take a look at the faces of the mum and dad.  These are the genetics that make up this girl:

Ricki Wilkie, Henry Goth's fiancee.  Woo.  Anyway on with introductions.

Brittany (Upsnot) Wilkie

Popularity - Become a Rock God

Is Currently a Concert Pianist

Brittany popped out of the wishing well for Silver Maple when he was looking for a quick bride.  She is prem plat via career TOCs, so we will only be looking for fears for her.  And naturally they all revolve around her friends or family becoming her enemy:  her daughter Isabel, Frannie Broke, or townie Ericka Charvat.  Highly unlikely any fears for her will get realized unless those shake up somehow.  She is 54.

Silver Maple Wilkie

Knowledge - Max 7 Skills

Is currently unemployed

Does it seem like there are a lot of Plantsims in the neighborhood?  Well there are.  ha. Silver Maple never went to work as he stayed home with the girls.  And, a golden opportunity here since Silver hasn't reached his LTW by turning elder, we are going to try to get him in green aspiration for his birthday.  Right now it doesn't look promising:  worries about the two dogs on the lot Pumpkin and Raspberry getting sprayed by a skunk, and Brittany dying.  Hm.  His wishes:  Become a warlock, or get a job in medicine, science, or oceanography.   We only have a few hours as he will age up before bedtime.

Isabel Wilkie

Isabel is a Risky Woohoo baby, totally unplanned.  She will cake up to teen on Satuday night. Wishes:  Play with, gain creativity 7 and a skill point, and invite someone over.  Fears:  Both the dogs get sprayed by a skunk, and Myrna Maxis gets sprayed.  (Dog she met on another lot).  She is a Scorpio, so she will be a Fortune Sim.

What happened last round?   When the lot is opened Brittany is pregnant with Isabel.  The breeders Raspberry and Pumpkin produced two litters of puppies which contributed 2 puppies to the neighborhood pool.  You read that right.  Only two puppies in two litters.  There is no reason the litter numbers should be that low, we will see what happens this round.  Ricki bugged ASimWen about wanting a hand held game and finally got it...being a knowledge Sim she wanted her dogs to be smart and began teaching them tricks.  The rest of the week was filled with Ricki bringing friends home after school, toddler training for Isabel and the big thing, Silver Maple changing his aspiration from Fortune to Knowledge.  He had no one to help him with 5 top level businesses as a Fortune Sim. (asimwen, cough cough)  Brittany drank up the eggplant juice to get the skills needed for her job in Music, and  Ricki  received the hobby plaque in gaming.  And that's it!

LET'S PLAY!

Right away Sim Blender is installed to see if the dogs are pregnant.  Yes.  Puppies are coming.

They were born almost immediately, and sent off to animal control.  Silver Maple influenced Pumpkin and Raspberry to try again, more pups on the way.

OOhh who left Brittany some money?  So man Sims have passed on lately.  It was Nina.  Didn't realize the friendship was that close!

Silver was in low gold for his birthday.  Must have realized a hidden fear realized because he was in low green after aging up.  Maybe not grow up well?  He is age 54.

While Silver was aging up, Brittany's work carpool pulled up.  Look who came home with her!  It's Silver's neice, Alice Wolosenko.  Her mom Sunflower is Silver's sister.  She just aged up and got a job in Music.

Now this kid Isabel is just like all the other children of PlantSims in the neighborhood.  She is the opposite of nice, meaning there is only one nice point in this child's personality.  However she seems to be pretty nice with her mum.

Her dad Silver Maple has six nice points.  Oh yes...working here on his LTW of max all skills.  He drank seven servings of eggplant juice, that put him one point to realizing his LTW.  Think he will get that last skill point on his Grim Party day so he can pass in platinum.

All 3 of Isabel's wishes in for the day before the school bus came.  Easy Peasy.  Oohh. what are her fears???  She worries about stuff that ain't never gonna happen.  Be rejected for play from either one of the dogs...and they get sprayed.  pfft.  Her big handsome daddy greceived his wishes in the same way.

Ahh looky who come over to play.  Neytiri Burb!  Hiya NeyNey!  The girls have the same hair-do.  Neytiri didn't hang around quite long enough for them to become friends.

Being an especially mean Sim, Isabel requires an immense amount of time to get her mood high enough to do homework.  Some evenings she misses doing her homework because of it.  Here her dad helps her get caught up.

Well had good luck with the litter born on Monday.  Three pups.  Now we are back down to one.  This is Molly thinking about her mum.  The snow is over her head.  She was sent to the adoption pool right away.

Silver is taking after his two sisters Sharon and Sunflower and began writing books.....to sit under the sunlamp all night.  When not revving up his creative writing juices, Silver celebrated the fact that Spring had sprung and his thoughts turned to love.  Luckily Silver was in gold aspiration so could fulfill the wish "Ask Sim On Date". Woohoo!!!! And so it was. The date commenced and progressed naturally, Silver getting in the rest of his wishes on his own.

A nice bonus!  Goooo Brittany!  This being a one income household means they have not amassed the fortune their neighbors have.  This bumped them up over 100K.

By now it was Saturday, which meant a trip to the park.  Seriously, no one had been invited on an outing at this house all week.  These guys decided to get out and see a little  bit of Bluewater.  Love Hunter's Park.

Brittany cooked burgers right away, as everyone was hungry.  Except Silver that is...he decided to work on his fishing badge.  Brittany is sitting with Bessie Broke, daughter of Beau Broke.  Looky who is watching them eat...why it is Benjamin Stompel.  The man who married Contessa Kari Oldie and became a great family with her.  Man, that guy even goes to the park in his socks.  To each his own!

Isabel ate her burger with this townie.  Her name is Jasmyn Mankowitz.  She is known to show up to date the teen boys in the neighborhood.

Gratuitous fishing pictures.  Looks like Isabel won a fear!  Wonder what kind of fears get realized while fishing???

Silver Maple had not won any wishes all day, so Ask a Sim on a Date it was.  All wishes in....looky at Ben fishing.  This means next time his house is visited he will have fish in his backpack.

Saturday was Isabel's cake up day, so everyone trudged home to get some rest before the party.

A couple of party crashers....Dustin Broke and this townie kid who is shouting.  OOhh who is that other Sim?

Ricki!  Put away your game.  Your sister is having her birthday.

Ricki:  Huh? Isabel is having a birthday???

*Check out that sparkler on her finger.  Henry Goth gave that to her* 

The sisters side by side with their dad.

Fortune - Become a Prestidigitator

*Sigh*.  Another one in the neighborhood.  At any rate the party was a succcess.  !  :)

Sunday sees Brittany working on Fitness.

The gymn dude came and offered her a membership to his gym.  She took it!  On Friday Silver Maple gained the hobby plaque for Film and Lit after only 2.5 books.  It took his sister Sunflower 3.5 books to get it.

Isabel arose past 10:00 am having stayed up late partying the nigh before.  Her first day as a teen she wished for:  Get into Private School, win Entrepreneurs award,  and buy two paintings.  Nope on the paintings.  Her fears:  Be rejected for Ask Sim On Date, get burgled, and Raspberry the dog get sprayed.  A Headmaster call was made.  He was coming at 5 pm that day.

One call out for a date, one fear realized.  Woo.

 Brittany left for work, sure that Isabel and Silver Maple could handle the Headmaster.  And they did.  Whilst Isabel greeted Mr. Jitmakusol and showed him around the house, Silver Maple having 10 skill points in cooking made blackened catfish for dinner.

It was a pleasant visit.  The food was perfect and Mr. Jitmakusol really liked Isabel, since she was a Fortune Sim and all.  Would really need that education!

And it was done!  Isabel was in, winning her one and only wish for the day.

This visit is wrapped up with Silver Maple reaching yet another milestone.  Winning the silver badge in fishing, and the hobby plaque in Nature as well.  Good for you Silver Maple!  It was easier for him as a PlantSim, I suppose!

Was a fun play as usual!  Here is how it wrapped up!

Silver Maple was especially active this round with accomplishments!  He won 2 hobby plaques...film and lit, and nature.  He worked to a silver badge in fishing as well,  Although no pics were taken, he also spent time shoring up friendships, and worked a PT job in medicine.  Brittany finally reached TOC in Music, and was given a nice bonus for doing her job.  Isabel was quite a handful as a child being so mean, but turns out she loves to clean!  And did a lot of it!  She aged up without incident and decided to be a Prestidigitator.  She wished to gain admittance to Private School which was done.  That wish was replaced with Go To University.  She will no doubt be going.  The breeders Raspberry and Pumpkin produced only 5 puppies this round for the adoption pool. The last pup, Buddy, was born during the Headmaster visit.  What timing!  Pumpkin is now too old to have any more babies, both dogs will be allowed to stay and live out their lives.  The dog pen gate was unlocked so they can go where ever they want!  But they still stay in the pen.

Ending Wishes/Fears:

Brittany - Still fearful that friends will be her enemies.  Malcom Landgraab, townie Ericka Charvat, and townie Joe Carr.  Brittany is 61 years old.  She will live another two or three rounds, her life meter only has a fat sliver used. 

Silver Maple - Wishes - Isabel gets a scholarship, be flirted with, be BFF with his brother Birch, and command Raspberry to Come Here.  Fears - Be rejected for ask sim on date, kiss, and flirt.  Silver Maple is 60.  Will be interesting to watch his aging since he is not accelerating his aspiration bar. 

Isabel - Wishes - Get hand held game, make money, win Quigley Visual Arts Stipend, and catch fireflies.  Fears - Raspberry gets sprayed, be rejected for play with Rasberry, and get rejected for Ask Sim on Date.

Thank you for dropping by.  Next visit is a house jam packed with kids!  The Charles and Frannie Broke house.  And she is pregnant again!

Remember to keep on Simming, and spay or neuter your pets.
