Wishful Thinking In TS2: Veronaville Round 4

All who live here:

Isabella Monty - Family - LTW to Marry off Six. She is up to four. Claudio, Antonio, Bianca, adopted Spencer. She has two adopted children left, Kimberly and Alon.

First wishes - Invite someone over, entertain, play with, and study about parenting.

Alon Monty - Family - Marry off Six. Ugh.

First wishes - go to Uni, Sneak out with Ginger Newsom, tell inside joke to and play with Bottom Summerdream.

Kimberly Monty - Romance - Become a Celebrity Chef

First wishes - Go to Uni, tell Bottom Summerdream an inside joke, reach Charisma 1, and go swimming.

There are a pair of cats who are there to mate, and put kittens in the adoption pool.

ASimWen hopes these wishes to go to Uni DO NOT STICK. Plans. Yes, Plans.

Isabella realized her days were getting short and spent time on the phone shoring up relations with her son Antonio. She then called her friend Greg whom she was showing a wish to talk to, and invited him over. He came right over and he and Isabella spent all afternoon telling jokes and swapping stories.

Alon on the other hand held a desire to spend time with his old flame Bottom Summerdream. He had heard that she had gotten engaged in University, but that did not deter him from inviting her over for a little friend time.

The kids spent a fine evening eating spaghetti that Bottom had made. Apparently she knew how to cook.

Afterwards she even cleaned up while the useless butler looked on. Bottom is getting mighty comfortable moving about the Monty ranch.

While the kids spent time together Isabella finished up her studies on family life. Kind of late, no? All your children are nearly raised.

A shot of elixir to keep her going. Hopefully the last shot ever!

Bottom came over again the next day. She seemed happy to see Alon, almost forgetting about the engagement in University.

Being a Romance Sim, Kimberly threw a wish every single day to date. But she also equally wanted to play games. And that is what she did instead of date. Play PC games, play console games, blog about games, ect.

Alon threw a string of wishes to accumulate Creativity skill. Everyone threw the regular gamut of wishes to talk about hobby, entertain, skill.

Isabella was no different. She was doing well to get her five wishes in every day by talking to her children and friends. Here we see that her adopted son Spencer brought the new evil witch in town with him. Her name was Marielle Benson.

Finally, three kittens were born, and sent right to the animal shelter. Isabella asked the mom and dad cats to try again, and so it was. More kittens were on the way.

Well certainly nobody wished for this. One of the rare times the Sim Cop lost.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Isabella's wishes had gotten stuck. ASimWen was being careful to keep her in gold/platinum in case she needed to take another shot of elixir. She called up her son Antonio for some chat time, then out of the blue rolled "buy burglar alarm" YEEeessss! That pulled Isabella out of her wish rut. In no time, she was back in plat.

Oh what is this? Upon returning home from school Kimberly rolled "Dance With Hal" Weeellll It is clear Hal is grown. She called him up and invited him over. They have a 100/100 relationship.

Greeted like old friends..and in no time...

Fulfilled that wish! ASimWen believed there is a little more going on here than an innocent dance.

Gratuitous ghost picture....Patrizio scaring his son Antonio.....Looks like that was a nice boost for Antonio!

Finally Friday rolled around, and Aelita Summerdream came home on the bus with Kimberly to visit after school. Strangely the two did not get along well, but Kim managed to get a friendship out of it.

In the meanwhile Isabella showed an ongoing wish to win a cooking competition, but did not have membership at Sue's where the contests were held. So studying cooking and watching a little Yummy channel pushed her enthusiasm enough to get Warren Owens to come over and tell her she was now "IN".

Off to Sue's she went, with Kimberly in tow. After all, Kimberly wanted to be a Celebrity Chef and a little exposure to the cooking club couldn't hurt.

Once there, Warren gave Kim some lessons. She gained three cooking skills.

Then Isabella went up against him an another chef...and a cop... to win the title of best cook.

Upon returning home Warren Owens showed up to give Kim a membership to Sue's as well. She was happy to accept.

Isabella needed more boost in aspiration so a wish was fufilled to date her friend Greg. Back up to platinum in no time. In the middle of the date....

Ah. Now time for the real fun to begin at the Monty Ranch!

Isabella called out for a couple of friends to come over for the birthday party. Bottom Summerdream and Hal Capp.

Woah Kimberly you THANG YOU!!!

Alon didn't bother changing his clothes....grew up in his PJs. ASimWen likes this guy.

Now that both were adults Alon let Bottom know how he felt. He loved her to the end of time. Two bolt attraction.


Yup, of course.

The same for Hal and Kimberly.

They found they had a lot in common...two bolt attraction.

Kim immediately asked Hal to marry her. He said yes, and moved in bringing $14,000 with him.

Alon and Bottom moved to the front yard to get some alone time to celebrate their love. Oh but who is this? It is Bottom's old flame from University.

The two had it out. Bottom confessed she did not love him after all (three bolt attraction, highly unlikely! lol)

Bottom told him unequivocally that they were over. Go away, move on. It was all her and Alon now.

Alon immediately swooped in and made his move.

Of course she said yes!

Why, yes, don't mind if we do!

Hello darling!

There was no better way than for the last two Montys of this generation to cap of their birthdays with their loves.

The next day was Saturday.

Risky was working overtime.....this with two cats in the house too? Wait...weren't they pregnant? Yes, two kittens were born during the birthday party the day before.

ASimWen's sound was turned down so did not hear the results of the birthday woohoo thinking there was just no way....

As soon as everyone was feeling good again, the two couples headed to town to buy formal clothes. There was going to be a shotgun wedding!

The two soon to be sister in laws getting to know each other.

Two Weddings and a Funeral

Two wedding arches were set up on the side yard, food was catered in, cake bought. Guests invited. The nuptials proceeded. First to complete was Alon and Bottom.

Secondly was Kimberly and Hal.

Awww! (ASimWen has never done a double wedding before, at least not in recent memory!)

BINGO!!!

***CLAP CLAP CLAP!!!***

Now let's get a look at the guests and the party....

Antonio Monty and Albany Capp

Romeo Monty, Isabella, Titania Summerdream

Oberon Summerdream, Goneril Capp, Titania Summerdream, Anthony Monty, and the worthless Butler


Romeo Monty, Isabella Monty, Oberon and Titania Summerdream, Goneril Capp, Butler, Antonio Monty, Albany Capp

Apparently Albany and Goneril held wishes for a relative to get married!Woot!

WAIT! Who is this fellow? This party crasher? Why it is Talin Tsvirkunov! He was just here the night before getting offed by Bottom! Yes, he is Bottom's ex-fiancee! Albany is eyballing him like he can't believe the Uni Lama had the guts to show up!

The party commences....

The women gathered round the bar to have a drink...

Goneril grabbed some gelatin from the food table...looked like she was going to tell Albany off. Oberon sat quietly eating his turkey.

Time to cut the cake

Chomp Chomp Chomp!!!!

Yummy cake!

Hanging out around the bar drinking and eating...discussing fine films.

Titania joined the fun. Hal burped out loud and Bottom could think of nothing about how glad she was not going home with that guy!

Albany did the wedding party a favor and took Talin away from the festivities, concerned that there would be trouble.

Talin: "It was supposed to be me, you know."

Albany: "Shut up boy. Your move."

All too soon the wedding party was over. At 4:45. It was a roof raiser, of course. Everyone filed out, and went home.

At 6:00 Grim showed up to take Isabella home.

Buh-Bye Isabella, you have lived a long and fruitful life. You done good.

Butler: "I was secretly in love with Isabella. Don't leave a mess."

Hal got right on the computer and arranged for he and Kimberly to move out.

Goodbye guys.

Isabella's urn was placed beside Patrizio's.

Now it was just Alon and Bottom alone in the house. Alon hopped on the computer to finish out his hobby enthusiasm in Gaming.

Botton got to work on Robotics, realized she and Alon needed a SentryBot...

Talin began making repeated visits to knock over the trash, steal the newspaper. Heh.

Love this couple....They will do the Monty Ranch justice.

Ending Wishes:

Alon-Talk about hobby, play chess, play marco-polo, blog about games. I had actually played this lot right up to Friday some months ago, really didn't remember much about what was going on with him. I do remember that I wanted to marry him off to Bottom and continued that direction when I picked up play. I did not intend for her to get pregnant right away, but maybe that is a good thing since his LTW is to marry off six! Bah. Family Sims and their neighborhood bloating wishes.

Bottom - Get silver in Robotics, see a wolf, get a restorable car, get a train set, get a puppy, and buy a drum set. Bottom had just returned from University, and there had not been a chance for me to play her at Titania and Oberon's house. She was moved directly into the Monty Ranch. So really dont know what was going on with her either.

My conundrum now is whether or not to continue playing this lot for a second time in a row for the sake of the aging time clock for Bottom. Either move on to the next lot and leave Bottom only aging three days in this round, or play it again and have Alon aging two weeks in this round. When it is time to play Goneril and Albany's house the problem will be in place again, as need to play Albany and Goneril this round, but that means that Kimberly will age a second week and Hal would have aged 10 days.

I think I just answered myself.
