Wow Veronaville! Haven't seen this neighborhood in a while. This will be tons of fun! First lot: Capp Manor! Who is here now?
Tybalt Capp
Popularity - Have 20 Best Pet Friends |
Hermia (Capp) Summerdream
Family - Raise 20 Puppies or Kittens |
Puck Summerdream
Popularity - Become A Celebrity Chef |
The breeding pair, Leroy in the foreground, and Haya laying on the pillow acting like the queen she is. :) EA dog Abbey is still on the lot but will turn elder in a day or two and will probably be given away. She provided lots of puppies for Hermia and Tybalt, not deserving to go back to Animal Control to live.
What happened last round played way back on January 15th, 2017?? Hermia and her brother Tybalt worked very hard on the 20 Pet LTWs. Tybalt is almost half way there, being best friends with 9 pets. Hopefully this round he can get a couple more. Hermia isn't terribly interested in the animal factory going on outside, but wants children instead and constantly wished for them. Abby the doggo became too old to have any more puppies, and a younger prettier doggo named Haya was brought in and soon was having puppies with Leroy. Tybalts wife Rene the Atrociously Evil Witch, passed to the great Sim beyond, and he was beside himself with grief. The sheer number of ghosts at Capp Manor made it unmanageable to be outside after dark, so this round they will all be sent to Veronaville Cemetery. Only tombstones for Sims who were actually alive the very first time the lot was opened will be able to stay. Like Consort and Rene.
Let's play!
Right off the bat, Puck got fired from his job in the Adventure field due to a bad chance card. Well being that he wants to be a Celebrity Chef, maybe this isn't a bad thing. He will just stay unemployed until his job comes up.
Tybalt's wish to have a party was fulfilled. He invited over neighborhood pets that he knew, and Snookie from the Summerdream mansion was the only one that came. Tybalt put out cat toys and the party was a
Snookie played with toys, visited with Tybalt, and tried to get the fish in the pond. And, he became best friends with Tybalt, making one more closer for Tybalt to his LTW.
Hermia filled her wish to play drums during the "party". She then went on to blog about music and dance and creativity, made a potholder on the sewing machine. It was a good day for her.
Having gotten fired from his job, Puck called over Spencer Monty so he could get those wishes in...this spurred more Spencer wishes and Puck got 4 wishes in.
The day ended with a nice turkey dinner prepared by Hermia. everyone was really hungry and cleaned their plates. Then it was off to bed. But before getting forty winks, Puck decided to look on the computer for a job in Culinary.
And there it was! Go you, Puck! Better get to bed so you can be nice and fresh for your job in the morning.
ASimWen has been trying to break her habit of taking a picture of every promotion, but I just had to get this one. Look at this guy Puck brought home from work with him...and speaking of Puck himself. Thinking of taking that make up off to see what he looks like. What a pair! hahaha
In the meantime, Puck invited his family over from the Summerdream mansion so Tybalt coould solidify his friendship with Snookie, and meet her mate Mr. Huggles. See Titania and Oberon in the back ground flirting. Those two are so in love.
Puck had a good time getting caught up with his dad, while Abbey aged to elder doggo. Puck considered giving Abbey to his dad, but they have the cat production going on over there.
Hermia made burgers for everyone to eat at their leisure. Snookie is begging for a bite. :) Snookie really likes coming over to Capp Manor because they have fish in their reflection pond and she likes to watch them.
Hermia threw a wish to sew during the Summerdream visit. She managed a bronze. Her mother in law Titania played on the computer the whole time so Hermia left Puck and Tybalt to keep Oberon entertained.
Oh looky, It is Rene's first haunting. (on the left) She still has the witchy green bubbles floating around. Not sure who that other Capp is.
This is only a couple of them.
**Chimes** |
While ASimWen thought on this, Tybalt took a trip to the cemetery to see relatives. They were alined up by the sidewalk. Ty placed them all inside the fence.
This is Veronaville Cemetery, built by ASimWen . Yup. I actually built a community lot. This cemetery has tons of space for lots of graves. These Capps were the first to take up residence.
Alright, upon returning from the cemetery, Tybalt rolled "Ask Sim On Date". Whaa? His secondary aspiration is Fortune, and it is winter time. Hm. Checking Ty's little black book ASimWen sees he is in love with Beatrice Monty. ASimWen checks Bea's house last round: and yes. These two fell in love.
During Ty and Bea's date, Puck comes home from work with a promotion to Prep cook. He brought home a co worker....a teen! And a paperboy at that! This is Serdar Curtin. I don't believe I have ever seen this.
During Ty's date, Hermia wins the silver badge she had been wishing for. She then took a break from sewing as her needs were very low, needs would plummet because of the pregnancy.
Tybalt noticed that Bailey the wolf came by and was rolling around in the flower beds. He greeted Bailey and apparently they had begun a relationship last round. Bea went in the house to play chess with Serdar. Tybalt took this as an opportunty to work this up to try to get another pet BFF. Bailey even knew two commands...roll over and sit up. After this visit, they were friends! But not BFs. That would probably come before the end of this play.
There was still 5 minuets left on Tybalt and Beatrice's date. As it always goes they both rolled woohoo. At this point ASimWen confesses...Bea was made selectable in hopes that she would get pregnant with a new little Capp. And yes, there were chimes. We'll see how this goes!
Before Bea went home, Tybalt asked her if she would like a dog. Why yes...and Abbey was hers. They shook on the deal. Buh-bye Bea and Abbey.
Friday at 10am Hermia shows her first baby bump. Go you, wee little one! These days she is still wishing for blogging about her hobbies, sewing, and playing the instruments outside. She is easy to keep happy and healthy for the new little one coming.
So what is up with these pets? It is Mr. Huggles and Bailey the wolf. Yes, Tybalt called out for another pet party, fulfilling a wish to have a party, and getting himself an opportunity to work on pet relationships. This one was...
A good time! As a result, Ty made bests friends with Bailey, and was receiving offers to adopt him. He may later when Leroy passes away, as Leroy is an elder dog now. It would be great to have wolf genes in the adoption pool. It is going to require another visit from Mr. Huggles before he is Tybalt's bestie.
Three puppies! Woohoo! Of course they need to stick around and grow up. Tybalt immediately started making friends with them.
Tybalt is a pro at this now.
In the meantime, Saturday Ty threw a wish to win a dance contest. To help his chances, he changed into this formal, and did the hula. Nope. Guy in the salsa outfit won. Tybalt went home, dejected.
Sunday at 11:00 little Magali was born. She has blonde hair and blue eyes....ASimWen had to look at her genetics.
She is a blond, with red recessive. Well let's see both Hermia and Puck present as redheads. So who dyes their hair red?
It's Hermia. She is a natural blond. She is getting a makeover!
Hermia loves her new look.
Hermia: "Thank goodness. I am glad to see my real hair color again."
Tybalt gets the hobby plaque in Music and Dance. Whenever he wasn't throwing pet parties or romancing Beatrice Monty, he could usually be found at the ballet bar.
Gratuitous picture of Magali. She is a real cutie.
Monday morning finally rolled around. At first the wishes for everyone was very easy (an monotonous) to fulfill. It was all talk about hobby, and play the blasted instruments in the front courtyard. Eventually the drums were deleted as they would play themselves even in the light of day when no ghosts were haunting.
Around Wednesday or Thursday ASim decided to mix things up and assign sub aspirations using the calculator I downloaded. (Link above in story). Tybalt got Fortune, Puck got Pleasure, and Hermia qualified for Popularity. Then it became harder to fulfill wishes. Buy me buy me was the name of the game and ASim just didn't want to do that. That really does not do a mix of the wishes well. So everyone made sure to get plenty of sleep to try to keep the wishes moving. It helped some. By Sunday they were back to rolling more reasonable wishes.
Ghosts were moved to the cemetery as they haunted. Soon it will be only Renee the witch and Consort in the household cemetery.
Aww. One day when Puck came home from work the penguin was out there toddling around. Puck threw him a fish to eat. Puck is the only one working and is currently a Sous Chef. He was demoted once and had to promote up again. He will age up naturally in 8 days if he doesn't cake up.
Tybalt is up to 12 pet best friends, having won three more this round. He will turn elder in 4 days, so he still has a ways to go to get 20 pet BFs. ASimWen plans to have him visit families in the neighborhood the rest of this round to get to know their animals, and hopefully he can knock out the besties in round 6. He and Beatrice are in love, still have to figure out what imma gonna do about that. Might see if they can be married but live apart until Ty gets his LTW. Don't know yet. I would really like Bea's baby to be a Capp.
Hermia is perfectly happy being home and never once has wished for a job. Good for her. Love her new blond look.
So that is it everyone, next up is the Monty Homestead!
Have fun and keep on Simmin!

Hermia is a blonde. I usual check the eyebrows to see if they are a different colour. But Hermia eyebrows are quite dark though. It is hard to tell sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI never lookmatbgenetics and had nomidea Hermia is a blonde! Good to see Ty getting on well with his LTW, no Sim has ever made that one in my game. A paper boy coming home as a colleague? Never seen that happening, either.
ReplyDeleteNo Sim has ever made that in my game either, this is a first for me! Ditto on seeing the teen come home as a colleague! Since I started playing TS2 through Origin I have been seeing lots of things I never saw before which makes me wonder if tweaks were made to it that are not on the discs before it was offered for download.
DeleteI think there had to be some tweaks made, because I never saw the paperboy come home as a colleague either. I guess he has 2 jobs to make ends meet. :) Good luck with the LTW, Biyu in Breeze Point did make it, but it took FOREVER. I do NOT enjoy that LTW at all. You can't just call pets up on the phone to make friends. Anyway, another fun update of the Capp's I had no idea Hermia was blonde, but what did you use to pull it up in game??? I always have to pull up SimPE to find that.
ReplyDeleteIt is a bit tricky, I learned it when I was playin Prosperity Falls. (And this is how I controlled the genetics). The boolprop cheat must be activated during game boot up behind the scenes. So I have it in a cheat file the game reads on boot up. The command is SimDNA *sims first name*. the sim must be on the lot for the cheat to be successful. In the Falls I would save the game right before the sim gave birth. Baby would be born and I would check it’s genetics. If I didn’t like the outcome I would quit without saving and go back in. Heh. Now you know my secret. :) I have a blog entry called SimDNA Experiments or something like that
DeleteHow interesting. Good to know that is the thing! I don't know if I will worry too much about it, I just get tired, sometimes, of going into SimPE and then pulling up my sheet that tells me what numbers are what. I liked that it showed you want it meant right on the screen. :) That's ok, it's not THAT hard.
DeleteWow I never knew Hermia was a blonde either! This game never stops surprising me :D
ReplyDeleteI do like the family, but the house is a nightmare, takes ages to get to the road! At least you got rid of some ghosts, there’s never much sleep is there?
Yes I think the thing that bothers me the most is the long walk to the street. I miss out on walk-bys.
