First Wishes:

Antonio Monty:  Max 7 Skills

Gain a skill point, go swimming, be saved from death, and see a ghost.  Typical Knowledge Sim wants.

Woohoo in bed, dance with Regina, dance with Trista, dance with Merry

Beatrice Monty: Wants to have 20 Simultaneous Best Friends

Make friends with Allyn, have a party, be BF with Paris, be friends with Holly

Yes the twins are grown up and not married because ASimWen really isn't sure what to do with them.  Benedict is engaged to Trista Riley.  They are a tree bolt couple.  Beatrice has no one.  Maybe she wants no one?  Five Wishes is all about letting the Sims decide!  Let's see what happens!

Monday

Upon opening the house, the scene was less than exciting.  Realized that party girl Beatrice did not have a job so switched her from chatting with friends to job hunting.  Took a roll of the dice...she had to take the second job up.

Oh well...looks like she is going to be Education Minister. 

Being it was early, she could walk to work, make it there her first day.  Off she went.  Really need to get some good money into this household....it is round 4 and they are still living in poverty.

Then...took some of their meager funds and...

Put a greenhouse around the garden.  Makes sense with a Plantsim in the family.

Oh what's this???  A Wishing Lamp...in ASimWen's Five Wishes neighborhood!  Well alrighty then don't mind if Antonio does!

Antonio wished for wealth...being that the household is still so very poor.  Money started raining from the sky in great big bags.

In the meanwhile Benedick returned home from work with a wish to woohoo in bed.  Of course.  He called his fiancee, Trista Riley and asked her out on a date.  He was not going to get the woohoo for nothing.  At this time he is still showing a fear of marrying Trista.  Benedick and Trista left to go on a hike, and Beatrice arrived home from work, having gotten a promotion to Teachers Aid.

She hit the phone and made friends with Allyn Thomason, fulfilling that wish.

Tuesday

Beatrice arrived home from work with a promotion to Substitute Teacher, and strong wishes to play games.  First up was Darts.

Benedick threw wises to skill skill skill

Which was a good thing as it made it easy for him to get his wishes in.

Beatrice then wished to play a little chess...then wanted to invite someone over.  Right about then a reminder popped that Paris Monty was whining that she had not heard from Beatrice in a while, so the call was made.  Paris (in the pink shirt) brought along her cousin Rosaline Monty.  It was refreshing that a child brought another child along on the visit instead of an adult.

After saying hello to Rosaline, Beatrice realizes a wish fulfilled upon meeting someone new.

Ah.  Trista called up Benedick and asked him out.  Of course he said  yes.

Downtown to Londoste they went.  Benedick shopped for some new clothes, and then cooked burgers for everyone.  Cornwall showed up and received negative thoughts about watching Benedick and Trista interacting.  heh. Trista managed to fulfill all kinds of wishes for Benedick.

INTERMISSION

At this point, it had been a couple of years since this lot was played.  Decided to take a peek and see what was going on.  Had no clue how this outing ended.  But looks like Benedick had fun!

Beatrice realizes a wish to make friends with someone? Who?

Wednesday

After the big night out the night before, Benedick rises from bed and realizes "Meet Someone New" by saying hello to newspaper girl Renee Andrews.  Swift thing there Bennie....appearing in your skivvies in front of a teen aged girl!

His fiancee Trista Riley had spent the night and he woke that morning with nothing but generic Romance Sims wants.  Woohoo a certain number.  Woohoo in public.  Next he rolled "Buy A Vacation Home."  as poor as the Montys were?  Probably not.

Upon returning home from work, Benedick still harbored the Romance Sim wishes for woohoo in public.  He called up Trista, and off they went to H&M Veronaville.  This establishment was once owned by Consort Capp back in the day, and helped him to meet his LTW of earning $100K.  Big Prosperity points!  Once there, Benedick spun up "tell a joke to and play with", fulfilling his wishes for the day.  But...as in 5 Wishes, once woohoo is spun up it is locked in and must be fulfilled.  He and Trista headed inside to the changing booths. 

It was a wonderful day for Benedick.  Not only did he get woohoo in public but he also realized woohoo with 3 Sims.  Dang.  He still did not roll marry Trista, but he did want to fall in love with Miranda (Capp) Monty!  She married Mercutio!  Stoppit, Benedick!

Who should come to the store but an old lover...Ariel Capp, who is also Benedick's baby mama.  *slap slap slap*  She is awful in love with Benedick, they have a three bolt attraction.  When we last saw Ariel in February of 2014, she had invited Benedick to her home for a little woohoo and even rolled get engaged.  But he was already engaged to Trista.

Despite the faux pas with Ariel, Benedick received his five wishes for the day.

Beatrice held a wish to have a house party.  She had many in her teen aged years.  Thought it would be fun.  She invited two adopted children of Isabella Monty, making them her uncles...

Spencer Monty

Alon Monty

And her cousin by marriage...

Juliette (Capp) Monty

Juliette of course married Romeo.  They have a little girl named Rosaline.

Bea immediately began to use the party influencing wishes.  Spencer was influenced to "play with" Alon....easy to do they are brothers....

While Benedick and Juliette enjoyed hamburgers, Bea influenced Alon to talk to Spence, apparently something he was wishing to do.  Good move, Bea!

In the middle of Bea's party, Trista called up Benedick for a date.  Didn't he just get back from an outing to H&M with her?  Oh and look who is there.   Alon Monty.  How is he managing to be at Bea's party and Games of Glory at the same time? haha  Benny is still showing a fear of marrying Trista.  Seems he is not one of those Romance Sims who casually throws around "get married" unlike some folks in Pleasantview.

Since Benny had his 5 wishes in for the day, ASimWen decided to fulfill Trista's.

Be kissed by Bennie
Get a backrub from Bennie
Be flirted with by Bennie
Play with Bennie,
And round back to the start...be kissed by Benedick.

This shook up Benedick's wishes and he now wanted to get full hobby enthusiasm in Nature.  It was locked in.  The date then ended, and Benny went home to resume partying with Beatrice.

Antonio had returned from work by now and taken a phone call.  Beatrice realizes a wish to dance with someone...that someone being Uncle Spencer.

And Bea realizes a big wish...to be friends with her brother, Benedick.  She observed her party, everyone seemed to be having a good time, even Juliette who took a moment from dancing to comment on Bea's ummmm....hahaha.  Julie had just taken a shower herself at the Monty home. 

The party was a rousing success as Bea hops on the computer to get that last wish in...meet someone new.  Chat, chat, chat.

It was at this point ASimWen noticed that Antonio seemed to be stuck in perm plat.  Wait.  A quick check of his memories revealed:

Antonio had somehow managed the last skill he needed to fulfill max all skills.  Go you, Antonio! ASimWen no longer has to manage his wishes unless:  A) She wants to or B) He throws woohoo.  That has to be locked in and fulfilled.

Thursday
This day dawns with Bea getting a good reputation with her dad by telling an inside joke and playing a 'lil chess for a couple of juicy wishes won....before heading out to work.

This was an exiting day for both Bea and Bennie.  While they were not holding wishes to do so, they both promoted in their jobs and received a couple of nice career rewards.

Benedick was holding wishes to make friends with this Sim and that Sim.  He was invited out for an outing and of course he went.  He towed along Bea with him, and his dad.  They went to Lucky Shack Cards and Drink.  Bennie played cards the whole time, but Beatrice threw a fast ball...

Tybalt Capp was there, and turns out these two are a two bolt attraction!  Oh my goodness.  And Tybalt just lost his wife this round to old age.   Me thinks there is no longer a worry about carrying on the Capp name in the homestead!

Yaaaasssss! Tybalt is smitten.

Fiday/Saturday

Friday and Saturday were spent with Bea having a party both days, and Bennie dating Trista and calling other women on the phone he was throwing wishes for.  That guy Benedick still is not throwing a wish to get married.  Maybe if Ariel was in his life instead of Trista he would wish marriage.

 

Ah.  Here we see that Beatrice is now in love with Tybalt.  Also note...the guy right to the right of Tybalt's picture.  That is Benedick, Bea's twin brother!  The game is not recognizing a familial connection between the two, and Bea is showing a two bolt attraction to Bennie??  The family tree clearly shows both Bea and Bennie as children of Antonio and Hero.  So don't know what is going on there.  Might go into SimPE and fix it, or let it go for humor. 

Sunday

Sunday saw both Benedick and Beatrice dating at home.

Tybalt falling in love with Bea. Their date had already ended, so no woohoo spun up for her.  Neither did get engaged.  *fingers crossed*  But plenty of date wishes were filled for Bea. 

I never understood this weird stance Sims do when they are showing attraction to another Sim.  haha

Benedict realized a long held wish to get his hobby plaque in Nature while blogging about it.

Benedict threw a generic dating wish...and he decided to call up Ariel. He had negative relationship points with her, however she came running right over to spend a little time with ol' Bennie.  By the end of the date, his daily with her was up 100, but the lifetime number was still in the negative.  I think the relationship is still salvageable.  We will see how that develops.

And the week is ended:

With both Tybalt and Ariel leaving date gifts for Bea and Bennie.  Bennie received a bud vase of flowers, and Bea got this nifty DJ Station.

Ending wishes/memories:

Antonio: 

Wishes:  Win Gaming hobby plaque, go bug hunting, go bird watching, and go on a hike.

His memories are good ones.  He made a BFF, met three new people, discovered Games of Glory and 5 friends.  Good for you Antonio!

Bennie (Benedick):

Wishes:  Be best friends with Trista Shaw, buy a vacation home, make out with 5 different Sims, and be best friends with townie Trish Ying.  That wish for buy vacation home spun up continually over the whole round.  If he has it again next round it just might have to happen.

His ending memories are indicative of a Romance Sim.  Had a couple of dream dates, got his Nature Hobby Plaque, learned a local greeting, got TOC, and a promotion.  He is doing well!

Bea (Beatrice):

Wishes:  Meet someone new, be BFF with Ewan Merry, have a good reputation, and play Marco Polo.

Dang look at those ending memories.  Made 3 new BFs, and met three new people.  Good for her!

And that is it for the Montys!  Next up:

The Albany and Goneril Capp lot!

Keep on Simmin', but family is first!
